43k for a single purple every week in the exchange is nonsense but it's no wonder people with too much gold buy it
25 - 7 seconds = 20 seconds
Bitch bear only last like 17 seconds why does it say 20 

Sheesh
last tripod reduces it by 4
@obtuse oyster @neon cedar @fresh flint Aint that the damn truth!
how my purples end up
ag..
Shit should reflect in the tooltip
but ye, I just swapped it, not stronk enough for short bear.
rip
someone on reddit complaining that
mercenary system is bad because people will bus the mercenaries
for what
?
what does that even mean
why did you type that
what does this even mean
huh
for fun
Ayo there's an option for in game voice?!
lmao
Yea, but I've never seen anyone try to use it 
No idea, xD they gave it up and used discord real fast.
Imagine having a voice feature but not intergrating it into the lobby, or party finder in any meanigful way.
they meant to fill the lobby faster if not enough buyers, faster lobby = “more busses”
I mean if they got the alts to keep doing them and not waiting ages it makes sense otherwise the riders leave after awhile
AI mercenaries in a bus don’t generate gold income
It makes it easier for bussers but makes Smilegate’s raid analytics look better
Eh, ingame voice has never really been good in a lot of games.
And proximity voice chat just creates a toxic-filled Rust situation.
more player “activity” and less economic stress
Most people would gravitate to discord anyways since it's just superior.
Most MMORPGs tbh
Only time it's active & used is in games like COD
can also post images in a discord theead
But much different enviorment & game.
WWM is a pseudo-mmo
and they allowed you to post TTS in the world chat
One can guess what happened...
Slurs, loud obnoxious noises, etc.
It does. But it just wouldn't work in a game like Lost Ark lol.
New World was way more casual, so it didn't have a lot of sweats running around.
They aren't.
But Lost Ark just facilitates a toxic enviorment by how the game is designed.
New World had way more things involved that casuals could do.
yeah like dont get me wrong I dislike ffXIV but the matchmaking for raids is so much better
lostark still has much better combat and raids but yeah the lobby sim and people make it a struggle
Hands
Doing all these systems before even enjoying the raids
I think we have a problem...https://i.imgur.com/lIO2Zh8.png
Did you finish TFM ?
Less than 5k is considered a death game
11k is ok for a game like this with the amount of money still thrown around
ok maybe for 1 region server
we are 2 region servers
so 5k or less x region
To put on prespective, in only 1 region, KR has 150k-200k current players every day

Thats x20 the population of wrst Lost Ark
well its also a KR based MMO and been primairly focused on appealing to the KR audiance
this is a kr game made for them this makes sense
x40 if we speak about regional population
wont be suprised warframe having a much more massive audiance in NA then in KR
No.
this game is still profitable by a large margin for how little extra work is needed for na eu
It's 4am in the morning... on a sunday.
????
nbut thats a problem, because poplulation in the west, we always feel inferior
Look Black Desert, they have international releases
guys game is ded bro, its dangerous, something something ded guys !!!
its been like that for a while
its 11 am Sunday in EU
Most people have finished there raids by now...
ima take a screenshot on tuesday night at 3am for a even better player count!!! shorely game wont be dead
I dont know guys...
We finished ours on thursday, if you dont count some mokoko runs
this game has always had a later patch globally compared to KR
If the population keeps going down, we are facing the death of the game
well it is
No need to worry about that.
No new players and older ones are leaving
It's still in the team charts top 100 for revenue.
Thats grim dark future for West Lost Ark
but it seems they are working on it though at least
stop getting baited, this is prob mizu or something
he is baiting
the midnight doomers smh lmao

yeah working on bringing new players and its bringing amazon cash so as of rn nothing to worry to much about
Most sold with only 10k concurrent players. That is not good for publicity, because tell to people, if you want to keep playing, you need to pay
deja vu
they aint wrong
well it aint f2p no one said that
and loooking de dequalified teams that are previously been OK for AGS, tells that a lot of people on the top
is rmting like CRAZY
And AGS cant do anything to track them down
So the p2w aspect is even BIGGER than the steam revenue is saying
you are saying things everyone and there mom knows.. this is a kr mmo its p2w to a degree which means rmt heavy gameplay
like whats shocking about this
So basically to a new player... Do you like the game? Ok, only to reach the endgame, you need to spend a lot of money
well of course if your in the 1% your gonna need to spend even more to get some sort of progression
But how can you tell a friend to start playing this game with that in mind?
Are we crazy?
No fu new players will come
yeah if they want to hit endgame any time soon they'll need to spend money and if not they can slowly enjoy solo mode and when we get mercs friends can play together and enjoy it
once the free t4 comes out i wouldnt mind telling ppl
why stress about HM when they can just chill and learn NM
And if they come and see that, they will fly away instantly when they know how toxic and p2w is the community of this game
usually pushing NM isnt to much of a problem for new players
as long as they are fine with mmos and the grind
im sure they have a fine experience being a 100 roster lvl and being gatekeep even in normal
if your friend doesnt like not being a top player that wouldve happened regardless. this is a long grindy game
mokoko event
The other day a g1-g2 normal kazeros, a SUPER easy raid, people gatekeeping only accepting 1720 with 2k+ cp
sounds about right
Tell me how a new player can do kazeros nm, I repeat, a super easy raid, if he coud not go in any lobby for his roster and cp
Even if he is boosted to 1720
Thats the new experience
And not overlvld party gatekeep for title or roster
GG for the guy
Incredible new experiencie
Just make your own lobby
A lobby simulator where he cant go in any raid for his roster
well its a end game raid that came out 3 weeks now
YEah, and being there for 3 h
Im sure new players will love the experience
whats your character look like?
yeah he aint hitting that endgame anytime soon he'll be doing solo modes for weeks if not over 3 months before he clips 1720 dude
This game is they keep it like that, its gonna die
all late games in mmos always have there issues
The ratio of new players and endgame players leaving is insane

Yesterday, Saturday, peak time in EU, 2 lobbies up for mordum hm
Wtf?
Mordum hm is still and endgame raid that can do endgame people and even newer
So its in a really good spot to have a lot of lobbies
Most is done by now
i did mordum before act 4 and kaz
not everybody can play during the week my friend
most ppl get there mains done in the first few days because they want to see if they get any good cores
And 1 year ago, saturdays and sundays were full of lobbies, had 0 problems finding lobbies
if you see this being such a problem whats your character?
Yesterday is weekend already
Yeah, and there were no lobbies there
ive been playing for almost a year now after coming back and only had issues at the start for a bit but its been pretty chill after

idk ive always been able to find lobbies relatively easily weather i get gate kept or not ive never had a point where i cant find a lobby for a raid
Its almost like you just started playing if you dont have static that's pretty much how pugging is
Its pretty much always been like this
when there is a lot of lobbies, that pugg experience is not that awful
yeah pugging can be rough with no static but overtime i didnt really have any issues
The problem is when there is no lobbies in an endgame content
idk where ur getting no lobbies somehow
like NA 4:45 AM
i see 2 mordum HM lobbies up
I told streamers to check the mordum hm and they were seeing the same number of lobbies
So its not me
yeah 1-2 lobbies looking for players is fine
At saturday peak hours? That is fine?
I mean most ppl now are just doing normals for mokoko tokens
some ppl just dont like/afraid to lead like me 
a lot more ppl are just staring waiting to look for parties like u
dude having 9 different lobbies half filled was dumb af to begin with
just merge and get in the raid move on with ur life
that means that there is a lot of people trying to do the raid, more chooses, less gatekeep
if there is only 1 lobby, a lot of dps will try the only 1 active, so the gatekeep will increase
Gotta go out your comfort zone. If your upfront and honest, or ask if anyone else can sidereal, it works itself out.
So yea, its worring
I understand you want less gatekeeping but thats the name of the game
if u dont want to lead its gonna happen still
Gatekeeping was never the issue lol.
last time i joined a party and our lead didnt know how to sidereal he asked the party no one responded and he just insta dcd 
People don't understand how humans and games work. Mind boggling.
game is dead, i can't find a lobby for kakul saydonk
he is the same person saying game is dead with 5k players so its not mind boggling
Probably embarrased but it's a video game man.
Sidereals are very simple.
yeah a lot of ppl who are wanting to do the raid are probably applying to the party they see thats already up
Once you learn sidereals, you'll want to always make your own lobby
- You choose who comes
- Guarantee no one will mess it up lol
espically on last day before raid resets youd be suprise to see how many ppl are applying
though a lot do get gatekept
profit lets go
wtf did gem prices go back up?
literally a few days ago i bought my 8s for 340 i think
Fluctuation is normal.
But it's been going down.
no they were a bunch around that price
it went down for a bit ig
they went back up a little
Yeah that's what happens lol. Up & down.
But it'll hit a threshold. Which is where it's at right now.
guess i bought at a good time
ya
It'll go down further next reset.
Since you can buy level 7s from solo shop for 20k gold.
x5 per character but still
It'll impact the market a little bit.
man i hope more shit drops in price i regret pushing to end game 
Yay


Free gems
yeah I bought all mine around 180k so im dumping them off my toons atm
everything is like 1m to gain a little dmg
valk only had 1 8 guessing others sold by now

Huh
long time ago
I never look at it this way. The sooner you finish something, the sooner you can work on your next goal. I bought level 10s at it's all time high and I don't regret it lol.
Huh why would you buy at that price
buy what
yeah what do you mean why would I buy at that price lmao


idk i might just work on my alts for the next while since 1730 will be the wall for endgame
unless you hardcore its 1740

na w when valk dropped it was that price
I bought level 10s when it was at 4mil.
Oh then it was paradise time that's when gems were expensive
lmao
A shooter game without p2w titty skins? stands no chance in KR
Oh ur NA
Before paradise gems where like 90k ea
Pero still

Gaming is Korea's well..... gaming industry
i like warframe but its difficulty doesnt exist lol
It has the perfect formula. p2w but with skill expression involved. Ideally that's the best you can get but it depends on how p2w is implemented.
eh if you do solo surv for like 8-10 hours for mass relic farming . resources it can get dicey if you dont play op stuff
every game other then ones that mass sell skins are usually p2w to some degree tbf
late game probably not as much but at the start some are pretty noticable
ok ive never done runs that long so maybe thats why 
Can always do sp cascade
or do some demos with a friend and speed run it should only take 45mings to 1h and half before 2k+ lvl demos become annoying to kill lmao
i dont this was a thing when i actively played
think its been like 5 years now lol
but i come on ocassionally to do some farming
oh yeah youve missed alot
Also new update where operator is more customizable and new wisp skin
And good lord its nice

wisp was always bae
yeah i heard that the recent update was pretty good but idk any specifics
overall gamers eating good this year
yeah maybe i should get back into the game again
Essentially now you can make your operator female or male
i was only really touching the surface when i played
i think i was close to m9 before i stopped
its still the same thing a mindless grind but hey if thats ur cup of tea its a great great game
so still was pretty fresh
yeah Im mr30 I dont want the ugly legendary ones
but either way back to lost ark crap am I right ... new solo raids should be fun 
none of my irl friends dont really play mmos or if they do they touch end game so playing lost ark solo is already taking a toll on me 
i really need to find a group or guild to do raids with
but yeah solo raids gonna be nice
yeah if you want to have a group and running it same time every week wouldnt be a bad idea
helps remove the time find parties and wipes on my alts
true
11:11
istg theres almost always a rat any pub
espically supports can be like 30% chance good
sometimes i excuse them but after i see there uptimes on mordum g3 i just cant
like heres an exmaple

dumb fuck game
Its always bards 
the only problem we have is that you started typing
that was rude
rightfully so

I had peak dps at 90 for a sec
in the middle of the raid
I got a ticket from the guild shop chest
crazy
Thought it was a scam
i forget but is the x3 worth?
not if u wanna min max, but id rather save my sanity
xdd
persoanlly i run them weekly. so i dont even have enough per char for x3. sanity saved xD
only 75
💀
does mokoko event end next week?
51 days. if you mean the bootcamp
but how are we supposed to get tokens
if all the raids that give tokens will be solo raids
wait
surprisingly in brel, aegir hm
theyre switching how we get tokens
the only thing i can see where they appear is brel hm
but they don't appear there anyway
or when they do the lobby is full of 1740s and 1750s
dont tokens come from behemoth?
Yah
if there is a koko in it ya
Mordummy nm
usually late afternoon
depends on the koko ig
omg wow!
Normal only gives unbound gold diff
next week will be more kokos but even now its still okayish to get tokens
unless you are 2ratty even for mokokos 
yayge
i'm looking at the only brel lobby with a mokoko
they're full brel hm guys except the normal brel mokoko
thats the point, to make geared ppl play with poor rice farmers with leaf
and once a while new player
skill issue
Some people never struggle
soon everyone will be full ancient.


ark grid 2.0
ancient engravings in 2029
sidereal stones
yeah ark grid 2.0 will look like the POE skill tree, each node is a core + all the current rng.
no 2028
and they will re-introduce transendence
oh better yet sath
from 5 engravings to 7
when ancient engravings get introduced

necromancy finally viable
why are 2400 combat power 1720 supports doing armoche normal
i still remember when soul eater got announced
especially with chaos conqueror title
some people thought necro was going to be used
because they want to?
yeah i remember lmao
it was crazy
and said engravings reworked made 2 engravings viable out of 50 sucking


I mean they could make Ark Grid fine if every raid going forward rewarded cores
the guy dancing has fun, the other is fomo'ist
So real
dont forget floorpov
well Serca will probably drop cores
already confirmed she does
yea
CatM drops an extra one in g2
remove purple cores and make 3 green astrogems fuse into a guaranteed blue
Nah, just pretend that's her Jersey Shore Ex
tru tru
she was posessed by an evil ex but once we win she goes back to human
Witch Season ah plot
@fresh flint Fucking OSRS put little santa hats on all the random animals
ags gotta start showing new outfits sooner
hi guys, asking about the incoming pass, can i slap it on my 1700.83 toons or?

we've got no details yet
RU details sometime tomorrow
alrighty thanks!!
looks like RU isnt getting the express event, so no clue until AGS puts up their notes in 2 days
always lucky
bob ross
that sucks for them
does RU have knowldge transfer yet?
Robert Boss
Their “overview” of the new update, i.e. Their version of Eye on Arkesia was just:
“Solo Act 2 & 3.
Elixir/Trans gone.
Also we added Winter Event”
no mention of Tier 3 changes
(or video from AGS does)
mb missed this section.
So much details
i see
Under their "progression events" they post separately there's just the new Ark Pass, there would usually be one for the Super Mokoko too
We will reveal details about what other events await you very soon in future publications. ._.
nvm
I think Tier 3 gold honing is still there, that's why AGS give a complimentary 1640 pass
man they're really waiting until right up until release to tell anyone full details
yes it is
Smilegate's reasoning would probably be "because you have 1580 Paradise and roster gold"
it feels like there are lot of "rice farmers" in KR who farm on T3 characters
and then SG thinks T3 is real content at this point
there is and Smilegate basically wants to kill off Tier 3 in Korea by making it silver/fully-bound.
They know our version people push so they gave us a "way forward" with Paradise/Roster gold knowing it'd actually be used on alts
hopefully we get the Tier 3 honing nerfs tho
+4% on all Akkan taps 
(not much but it affects base so makes pity/rate add up faster).
noooo 
It's crazy good, told ya
probably the biggest thing i've seen yet out of all ark grid cores
i gave 104m shields in kazeros normal G1
while one of the guys was dead for 12 minutes
and the other one for 2-3
Yesss it's so good! This core made me love my main 10x more
hopper was the worst skill to cast, most of my deaths or fails were because of hopper
being locked in animation for year
hopper help build meter WAY faster or does it have a destiny bonus?
this but gods decree for paladin
Casting speed, push immune, more meter, increased shield duration
it't he star core
hopper is 20% faster and push immune
so you're spamming hopper all the time
and turns out you can cast hopper A LOT more than i thought
you can G duringgod's decree tho
because it's not a movement ability
I started to cast hopper almost 2x more in my main compared to before the core
you can't during hopper
I spam it on cooldown now
5.9 casts per minute of hopper
Having to go from this perfect Hopper change back to old hopper on alts feels so bad tho 🙁
1x character extremely FUN
5x characters back to shit hopper
it's so fas tfor movement too now
Yep
Wow finally made sense
Because I rarely can fit all 3 hops in hopper before I have to press other skill

dead game 
thx4inv

The karma taps are in normal hell or only in ice/fire keys?
normal
both
Glad I bought some last night at 14k lmao

Hell Keys III and above

Is the leapstone from Guardian Raid with KR change still tradable or becoming bound ?
Will only drop gems, no honing mats i think
Oh you are right , just look at the loot table again from memo vid 
I hate this bozo director
So basically, tradable gem is from GR, bound mat will be from chaos dungeon, paradise. Tradable mat will be from ember and the world boss and probably F4 

Double dip is gna go 2 the moon
Big value
Lol probably i am going to play 2 account 

... @charred void. Seriously. You've already given @swift magnet enough reputation. I can only process so much love for one user.
breaker? 
YES!!!!


@charred void

lol i swear this artist only used awakening once during GR 😭
hm, to paradise, or not to paradise - meh 
what do you need awakening for
i guess because they weren't shielding otherwise really
i see
and she died on easy stuff 👀
after the death i at least expected more emergency shielding, but nope lol
its a bot lol
bot on 1680 raid = dead game 👀



bruh my client just froze, had to force drown

stinky nvidia driver
Happy birthday 
if i had a dollar for every time this happens i'd be 🤑 🙃
i would have a like 5 dollars over the span of 3 years

Welcome to the holy land

So has there been any legit TFM clears on EU yet
no
but they still get vetted

#2 group has a known chaos botter in their group

Tune into Snwy's steam and this guy just pops up in chat 
No links to this news, just yapping
now can you carry me ?
I am never going there again

wait until he finds out every game gets discontinued sooner or later
not only #2
Just like RuneScape, EVE and WoW 
his amazon news are probably a reddit thread from some delulu doomer
Low key I'm surprised maple is thriving
majihara
I mean I play maple so I'm happy it's still around but like
I forgot Maple
wapping 16 hours a day aint for everyone
You got ragebaited
just release more cat mounts
This game unironically doesn’t make enough skins
yes
I feel like the cosmetics can bring in significantly more revenue esp. since they do it in such a FOMO sense
Correction, they don't make enough gooner skins

sadly smilegate is slacking
Doesn’t matter tbh whatever they see internally makes money just keep making them
Their skins are lowkey lacks creativity?
It’s not that hard to make gooner skins different from one another
Like almost every single one of the na teams is not clean either
LALITI
Just dodged the check one way or another
dozens of MMORPGs have proved this
Why they never rerelease skins is criminal
I think they are only caring about prior bans rn
Or stupid shit like saying you rmtd on stream
yep
Seriously…
Like the Stoopz TFM team's bard?
Why is it always Bard players that go schizo
I don’t mind them wanting to FOMO skins but being at the mercy of someone who has an old skin + is still playing + made the conscious decision to actually sell it
Bruh….
no
Kass yeah
she left the etam
at least add a buy order so you don’t have to be at the mercy of someone consciously selling
Ugh can we post accurate info
went to clear with others, cleared and got dq
Haha dumbass bitch
stoppzz didnt stream since what happened
Doesn’t it tell you IN GAME
... @charred void. Seriously. You've already given @wintry depot enough reputation. I can only process so much love for one user.
I'm just glad the bozo got DQ'd
that someone isn’t eligible!
no
or was that only KR
But yea if they actually like were accurate with their rmt checks
I would be surprised if more than 3 teams total
Survives it
There’s like 2-3 teams I would believe could be clean
If I didn’t have like
Insider info
yeaqh
Idk I wouldn’t blame ags for missing those
Imagine RMTing and then still trying to do TFM 
well cant verify that i guess
I dont follow stoopzz. Is kass castform? or a different bard?
Clears day 1 - Just that good 
Na1 rn is just kr refugee o clock
diff
I mean I genuinely don’t think we have 160 legit players that can populate the top 10 for NA and EU… conspiracy theory but I’m pretty sure they ran the numbers and realized if they penalized everyone who should be — the Top 10 would never finish lol
Castform is the other bard
Depends how long they keep it open
I mean yeah by Feb. there will be eventually enough players after the Ark Grid
But I don’t think we would fill top 10 even by end of Jan
if they went super hard on vetting
We played with him a bit, I feel like he has awful luck in joining lobbies xD.
Like most of the raids I do are fairly clean
I swear every time someone I knows is in a raid with him there’s a good chance it’s one of those messy raids
And it’s like not even his fault lol


dont react me bot
classic paekes


"there's a solution to this problem , just make raids not mandatory , instead of giving gold , give us random tradable gems drops from random lvl 7 to 10"
avg lost ark gamer opinion
Free lvl 10s 
remove gr and chaos from the game, make raids r unnable twice weekly
🤝
Bro I feel like
Top 2 raids can be top 2 raids
and the third gold earning raid is just
Raid rotation
deal
Remove Raids, make Chaos Dungeon the only endgame
remove party finder make raids matchmaking rng only
True
Just EOS already, so I can move on with my life
its time to cut a human astrogem?
first turn +100% cost
not bad
like this system is so good
don't think that's gonna hurt you that much
not the issue
I just hit 4/9 options that did nothing
to add points
2 options that removed points
I just cut many 4/4, 5/4s W
My main is still
4x 10
lol
this system is dogshit
cant even brute force it
because people cried that whales would get too far ahead
are u at least checking your greens?
Do you know what greens you should be checking... om
I use my stability greens to fuse 9/10 cost blues into stability blues
and then cut those
I do it on my alts to send to my main too
this system is highkey ass
Hm. I don't interact with the fuse mechanic. I think it's ass & a scam.
my luck went elsewhere tbh
I open up all stability and soliditys, for green blue and purp.
But most of my astrogems came from cutting greens tbh
thats literally just a luck thing
?
If I get a better chaos core im gaming
green has 5 cuts with 0 free rerolls
It is, but most people don't even right click to check there Solidity/Stability Greens.
It does yes. So what you do, is you right click on all of them. See which ones have a +2-+4 option for Red/Yellow on the first roll
If you hit, keep going
whats annoying is getting past 18P is pretty hard
zzzzzzzzzz
Paladin is going to be the most busted support in the game.
KR buffed Holy Explosion meter gen by 30% with recent balance patch. This core makes Holy Explosion the fastest brand in the game that stacks up to 2 times and gives giga meter.
Like holy moly, im gonna be pumping blessed auras left & right
This is how much meter it gives
Holy Explosion itself

idk what they can do other than remove half the shit options from astrogems
It's just elixir era all over again. Eventually you'll be fine.
What they could do which is easy, is increase the amount of rolls you get. And rerolls
maybe by +1 for all rarities.
Yeah that's ass.
Requiem Ash cooldown is like 1000 years

check upcoming valk balance patch
I can't wait for the new express, I need to ditch this fucking valkyrie
I mean when I've dumped like
So annoying to play. so annoying to bus on
600k gold into a system
0 stagger, 0 meter gen
and I've gotten 150 cp from it
0 everything
shittiest support to ever exist
600k is literally 2 characters worth of karma
almost full ah 20-30 on a character
like wtf am I spending gold for
Yeah I haven't gotten much CP on it either. I go from 3400 to 3600.
ark grid is so trash its unreal
if it was an actual support one
gg!
No I have
I have the astrogems to max out any single chaos core
But I haven't gotten a good relic chaos core yet.
Next reset we get the loaon gift though i think
I think the core system is perfectly fine other than purple cores giving 1 pity
Also since elixirs are going away
You can play both master and critical ishy
and master only loses stacks on knockdown, not paralysis
same with SS
ye
like I am getting tilted with astrogems tbh
But my entire current build works so well if I can just hit 17p
Well unfortunately
Ibeepubop told me DB cores are just not that good
but increased cast speed W?
Gem time
