If you chose youre build for the price of 1 engravings youre already losing
no, i chose it because it looked kinda alright
but then you gotta specialize further with cores
which you kinda have to choose early cause otherwise you get gatekept for not having combat power
and front attacking charge skills is not the greatest experience on these spinny ass bosses
would be cool as shit if it wasn't front attack tho
@fresh flint if sh plays good the time of the helikopter is done in 3 weeks 
Welcome to the world of front attack
yes all of the 5 ppl life skilling would be delighted

but if more ppl lifeskill orehas are gonna go down
yea but they dont, and a plat field wont change that
the first iteration wasnt removed coz it was so popular

is this a referrence 
wow ty for spoiler
your welcom
Could have seen that a mile away tho
you should alrdy be able to tell from experience that some bosses are more entropy friendly than others, even if you've always been a hitmaster enjoyer
yes
he comments on it right after

IDK WHAT AM I HYPED FOR?
well obviously, but that doesn't really affect the fun level as much
the scouter rework you doofus

what affects it is dependent on the tools you have available
ok but GK buff when
WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY MEAN
i figured quake smash would end up charging a bit faster than it did
Even breaker with all his mobility would struggle vs ADHD bosses
imo the game needed a change long ago
with turn speed limits on bosses
so a boss can't just 180 suddenly
game of the year cutscenes
I don't mind spinny bosses. Gives a lot of room for skill expression
are you playing on a toaster?
I ate them
And whether or not you're well versed with the patterns where the boss is idle for 1s or 4s
they were delicious
my pc specs has nothing to do with shit game
spit them out
looks like the game just didnt render
its not my problem lol
I'm rdy to kick kaz in the face before unloading my ... load
mine now 
which is prolly an unreal engine 3 issue
game is ass
i really don't think this matters that much because cooldowns are so short you gotta try to send it most of the time
everyone skips cutscenes anyways, no diff
my specs are on the high end side, its engine problem
this is a fucking lie
im just being real
no you are not
no that 1 moron does
u can hold down escape
i used to until they gave power to the leaders
2026 technology
the cutscene thing is dumb
it should be that
because the other 7 are morons
If your enjoyment comes from having giga uptime, then you might as well just play the spec version
entropy has always been a patience game other than outlier gates like mordum and armoche
aw boo hoo
skip by default, hold down button to watch it
UE3 cutscenes
how does it feel to be among the last 7 scouters standing? are you gonna be welcoming to all the fake scouters incoming soon
what will i do without them
plus the newer cutscenes arent bad
but i already committed the cores, i can't change this now

it's gonna take like 3 months to get enough pity points to change it
did you spend all your pity just for front attack like a maniac

you have to get cores to not have shit combat power
yes
amazing
I just got home mang
even half the brel lobbies were like
deserved
"2k or fuck off"
loa only mmo i played where when u get stronger the reqs go up ngl
Someone help petition for them to make it so that I don’t skip cutscenes with ‘B’ on my controller
Game is laggy so I press it twice sometimes or host skips and I end up using my rose skill to hit the air and it goes on 45 sec cooldown

loa is not the only mmo that logic applies too. weirdge
just get that weird db or whatever class it is
that spends 60 seconds building stacks
when the entire playerbase increases in power, ofc people will have higher requirements, not the requirements of 1 year ago
yes, cause people play like shit

We gotta spend 2-3 min to build stacks cus SG stinky
why is poopboi still yappinq
time to make some moeny
7 ppl on the portal
that 1 mf
the more scouters, the better. then it might not take 3 years to get a "fix"
running in and out

When we raiding
Dw, that’s the TTH treatment

ur gonna see quite a bit more scouters after that recent change lol
actually looks cool to play
the problem with scouter was never that it wasnt cool
it was that it was seen as zdps
rice farmer class

the reqs are based on the available players applying, when new systems increase the average cp its natural that the pool you can choose from also has higher cp, that has nothing to do with how easy the boss is and also no exclusive to this game
the problem is the annoying ass UI with scooters
why do they stilllll have it
na, ui is still as dogshit
my DI doesnt cover half my monitor with blood anims
thats why theres more sh than scouters
i've tuned it out at this point 
it looks rly cool ngl, im gonna put the upcoming event on mine
also because gunner skins are ASS
no its just more noticeably prominent in LOA
It’s because
Hear me out
They’re plotting and making a female Gunner variant in the coming year
They’ll put all the buffs and make that class strong
And give it sexy outfits
with a whooping sample size of what?
You gotta let them cook with them making another class undesirable for super long
Then show a shiny toy after
Ezmoney
Funny enough, I’m thinking about every MMO I played and it’s the same everywhere like on runescape and BDO
You just always take the more geared/optimized players for the same old content and set new things as requirements
And that’s for MMOs that are wayyy older than LA
not many players opt for the "bare minimum we can clear this dark souls" style of gaming
we are in the era of adhd gaming where you gotta go FAST for everything
Ya
yep, thats exactly my experience aswell, but for some reason loa players are a bunch of spoiled little softies that take every lobby decline as a personal insult to their bloodline or something
and make a big deal out of it
my friends and I do our own inhouse ratruns, so shit doesnt go stale for a bit 
ngl im glad we dont ahve the elsowrd type raiding...
imagine for a reclear, you have to do an endurance battle for
1 hour for each gate
💀
i could never
and if u die, you gotta restart all the way at the beginning
but also if u die out, you get 0 rewards if the party cleras
💀
it used to not have checkpoints
thats the funniest part about that raid
is dps meter allowed to post here
i thought it always did?
only if u hide names
OG Brel didnt
if u wiped in g6 and quit
in kr?
Sounds like what a typical raid game would be
But I can also understand the frustration of being held back by others or being the cause of holding others back
So they had to go down the casual rabbithole
hardest part of raiding in any game is finding people with brain cells, so that you can get decent prog
I would argue though, they should use that as a way to say, make raids harder because you can revive. And then scale things down via difficulties on the raids
Nightmare no revive, hard 1 revive, normal is limitless causalness whatever they wanna do
Ya
This game sucks population and networking wise imo
i would just make normal and hard mode in countless revives tbh
lets just hope the addicts stick to Nightmare
Few raids like echidna prog, bit of mordum and TFM was rough cus always 2-3 people that need to get booted out
why you calling them addicts lol
Prog experience and capacity ain’t the same as reclear
I'll be dead in the first gate lmao
Echidna g2 criminal behaviour detected. Booting
Ok I'm on

im self-censoring
We can lay on the floor together then

PTSD
Esp from our sorc friend
I grew a natural hatred for sorc players since t3 days
echidna prog was a nightmare 
Hahaha
Meanwhile, my group had 2 sorcs for every prog 
I am here ...
I wanna start doing speed runs for TFM and I’m sitting here like if I even want to put that effort in, it don’t hit the same as other games


only the last week rlly matters, but might as well get more practice
my bard cant cut order gems
bruh whats the matter with all the altroster animals occupying every channels lifeskilling today

@brave gazelle ty sor
It's oke
f4 merchant
f4 or crafted in sh
oh

Shronk

FKN ZHENG
What did Zheng do again
won nexus giveaway
Well actually
That's nowhere near his what
Six sid drops?
Just some nice loot along the way 

i think the new change is kind of bad to put gem under guardian and why did small gate did it ?
hmm
legit
Wheres the combat power
its hiding in his 20min lobby sim i guess
That's heartbreaking. I hope he finds it
Y
i didnt expect a SH rework and also i didnt expect to get it this soon, now i have regrets of opening a pity core for PS to have more convenient guardians

just be me. try to bid up ancient chest and somehow ppl were even more broke than me xD
@obtuse oyster why do you kekw me in a moment of sadness you cruel swine
like never?
tbh i would always bid up to 100k for it
as long as im not full build on all
100k is worth imo
but that was kinda lucky cuz bard has the worst rng out of my main 6
cant even cut order gems
had to use1 pity to get her the relic core
Hi
second pity tmr after kaz
I'll do it in 2027 when I get it all free and nerfed like I did with karma
do you not funnel your gems
hahahahahaha
i see
hmm
am i giga lucky
4/6 alts didn't even have enlightenment 6 when solo Brel released
i mean you just recently juiced your roster no
I was tagged, I came, what happened?
ppl like you piss me off, how can you not put the order and chaos cores in the right order
Not home for another 5 hours, u won something?
fr
not only you xD
You did on the nexus discord
🐀
i think i've heard you trigger me with your core setup like 8 times since yesterday xD
in text and vc xD

Fix your cores. 
Yea. I saw in announcements just now
Ah right, they’re meant to go 🔴 🔵 🔴 🔵 🔴 🔵
wtf
i jsut finished all astrogems needed for 17 points on all 6 chars

2 blue cores away from not touching this system
time to build up stonks
Oof
Gonna focus on my life skills career in lost ark
I mean it’s something
lol
I got a taste of earning gold and now that's all I think about
My gk reached 1700 two nights ago and I think imma pause right there to do life skills
nice

@slender sky
@kind lotus
@kind lotus
@kind lotus
@kind lotus
It’s the lost ark effect, now your hooked, you will get the urge to make 60 characters like aly or 5 rosters like feyton, you need to have the mental fortitude to resist this
Hell no wtf don't they share the life energy ?
nice
Fayten has 5 rosters AND 30 characters on one
hey, does anyone knows how much gold the witch (new upcoming raid) gives ?
like normal/hard/nightmare
at least 1
i raise it to 2
those lying fucks
lmao thats less than mordum
that's it, smilegate needs a beating
actually, that's more, since some of the morgoon gold now is bound 
gold sink into gear reset, they want to draw gold out of economy
well but still mordum is 38k
and in KR it's just deleted instead of bound
and serka normal is 10ilvl more than that
and if it wasnt for another mordum gold nerf you would just still do mordum cause serka normal gives nothing?
does it
but arguably quicker/easier to complete
normal gives extra ark grid cores
also Serka gives ark grid doesn't it ?
ehh what
yes
ah gege
yeah
i guess thats how your alts are meant to get cores unless you are called @devout nymph
i mean feel free to do serca for cores and mordum for gold
there will be 3 raids for cores with serca yea
still same shit
mostly epic cores in nm

Surely we'll get nerfs with our Serca since Korea has Act 4 out of top 3 by then
what did you expect
much drops very wow
relic
shoulda been 1720 and dropped lego+ only
xd
HUH
xd

that defeats the purpose of it being accessible to casuals
i.e. KR player's non-mains
or ykno just drop lego+ anyways
nah
because purple cores might aswell just not drop
needs to eb a reason to hone up
eventually they will remove the purple cores anyway
Gear reset
yes in addition to the cores
like even legendary cores are already borderline useless for most classes
1730+ experience looks way better than under it anyway
Horizon Cathedral normal/hard 1760/1780 watch
the whole point is to get 200 core essence
doing the raid expecting ull get relic/ancient isnt realistic
1720 is already 2x better 
nah, 1730/1750/1770 for nightmare
oof right
what's the bet it's 1775 since that's +20 on new gear
its what it is, they will nerf it eventually
1735/1755/1775
thats why im not min maxing
that would be awkward but I don't doubt SG
they love their +20 breakpoints
+20 and AH 40 is Serca
Tier 3 was +20 in original Brel before it got changed to 15
well they changed, they wont do it now
but in brel you had the gear reset
you had gear resets with Akkan and Serca as well, that's the discussion
next raid should be like uhh. 1730 normal 1750 hard/1760 nightmare maybe
well no serca does not allow you to do normal mode to get the gear reset
in brel it did
and akkan too
was it 2
it was even worse
wasnt it just 1
yyes
it was 2
i dont remember its been so long lmao
brel gear reset was the worse lol
brel nm gave relic
Well yeah, low-key they've made "normal" a tutorial/fake mode and hard/nightmare the "real" modes tbh
it was 2 originally, then changed to one
and brel hm gave ancient
brel relic and brel ancient
but you got access to nm at 1490
mno
inb4 its 1720 NM/ 1740 HM/ 1760 CM
it was ancient with hm
but hm was at 1540
yes/no because Ancient let you go above +20
it was 2 diff gear
ye it just gave you the +20 unlock no?
it was 2 different sets though
no
it was still a quality difference
like the ilvl just came from the normal mode gear didnt it
u cant hone above +20 on new gear either without serca breakthrough
no
it was diff ilvls
its cooked
surely the march event can be used on 1710 and below 
slightly
this game is cooked
still diff
tbh Brelshaza was a logistical nightmare because you had Normal be 1490/1500/1520 across 6 gates
Then Hardmode across 1540/1550/1560
split the playerbase too much
i knew ashes was cooked when i saw the gameplay vid years back
what investment? there's no development team
@worldly hawk @neon cedar @undone summit
thx for mark
brel was fine
worst era was during ivory tower
I already tagged you before you pinged me you fool
its okay ill remember this
@slender sky @slender sky @slender sky
youve changed since you quit
the quitting out of my heart was longer than that
12 hours, 12 years. It's hard to tell in these trying times
in IT the gatekeep was the worst in the history of LA coz jsut to do NM u had to be juiced since ur accounting for 33% of the teams DPS and u cant die, gotta do mirror counters etc so ppl scrutinized ur gear, title and everything super hard
I didnt mention your heart tho,, I was expecting to stay there
nah we can lump the entire kaya + akkan + ivory tower together man
Brel kicked out the normies but we had a core community.
Akkan/Ivory took that community that broke it in half like Bane on Batman's spinal cord
that shit was horrendous
1490 to 1580 and then 1580 to 1620 was such a shit grind
@swift tree
also the fucking support union...
that was the only era of LA that was so bad i even quit
disgusting behavior
sups were charging 12k an hr to sup LOL
dont forget 1580 being fucked over by slower material rates from Akkan normal

yeah, that's why I wanna lump that shit era together
bro the akkan hard requirement was crazy for the time 
the content and gates were fantastic
It literally made a caste system between whales/bussers/rmt and players that dont
just everything required to get pt and clear was atrociously bad
But that crashed and burned almost immediately
It was funny for the week or two tho
went from being full akkan gear with only akkan to some elixirs and then full elixirs to clear akkan hm
peak SG
peak
naaaa it was there for months on eu
it was fuckign disgusting
thing is
the worst part
It existed, but it was made fun of pretty hard on NA. It didn't last
I mayhaps sold my service during hm ivory
I will not lie
is that most of the time, the support was absolutely dogshit
and thats even worse
like if you make people pay for you, at least be good?
blocked
u paid 10k and supp wasnt even 70/70/20 
sups back in the day didnt really sup they just kinda dodged stuff and buffed whenever they felt like it coz community were putting them on a pedastal from noone playing it
that was one of the few times in the game where it legitimately felt unreachable for me ngl
gotta hustle for that 1630 push
no, people were playing them a lot since artist release
says you, I would get torn into because I didnt manually babysit 3 greeders
and that was in brel
scrutinizing sup stats was unheard of out of fear of them leaving
Also, people gaslit me into believing the new weekly system gives out lvl 70, it doesn't, you get to lvl 67 on a fresh char at best
people had supports, they just didnt want to hone them because it felt dogshit
I got 70 from 62 
great GR exp
did you unlock the xp bonuses?
Yes
in Stronghold?
All of them
hmm
From 50 it goes to 67
idk my GK got instantly 70
thing is if u started AT 50 u WONT MAKE to 70

why from 50 
well 50 and 62 aren't the same
cuz no pp
no pp big sad
Yeah, as I said, fresh new char
and NO story done, just full KT
need to use these puppies
Uncanny
There was a thing back in the day no one mentions anymore
Spec bard…
I have 5 south rimerias to do
I have 18 forgot it was skipped on GK
This fool uses compact messages
there wasn't a pedstal, you were just at the mercy of getting anything cause of the lack of supports
ofc??
Wdym ofc when you're the outcast
i remember back in argos days my sup was under ilvl and i miss everytime i hit boss so i cant generate meter and ppl still want to take me
whoever doesnt is a fkin lunatic
wait so how are you supposed to hone a character to 1580+ now?
they removed the fusions from solo shop
Worst impact was during voldis launch
You don't cuz u get the set from doing the msq
where do you get the set from
Completing the msq
You had to send nudes for a voldis supp
so which one gives the 1580 one then
Then you start honing
Voldis
Wdym
just do some story 
im not spending 50 bajillion gold to skip the 50 continents to make the character playable
then don't push the non-gold earning character
pretty simple
it takes like 500 hours to go from 1540 to 1580
i mean
its only 42k gold
40k gold btw
its the exact same than before...
i think it would've been cheaper to hone that before the changes lmao
you needed to do all msq to get access to paradise
no not even
not even close
i legit think this dude only has a head so it doesnt rain into his throat
???

honing to 1580 didnt cost any gold
honing is more expensive
the fusion mats?
it was PRICY in fusions 
Cheaper to do brelshaza, akkan and craft useless orehas to hone those gears?????
pepehand ignoring fusions
and all the other honign mats?
it wasn't that pricey
Even if you honed you still needed story
ok then pay me SAME price u would pay in that zone
you needed to do the msq regardless to access chaos etc
lmao
now you get the gear for free instead of having to hone and gather new gear pieces inbetween
Yeah lmao every chaos dungeon is region locked
legit braindead
you could get teh 1560 chaos dungeon
with just elgacia
now all you get is 1415 chaos
Elgacia chaos is 1580
you dont even need to hone much at all for 1640 either it just gives it to you after
bruh, u need to be 1580 south kurzan done, anything below is wasting ur time not doing paradise
Because voldis is 1600
this ^
It was always based on the hard ilvl of the raid
1580 for kayangel hard
So their chaos
1600 for voldis hard and its chaos

did you not? 
are you sure about that
That takes about ~2 hours to do msq
NOPE
yes, yes it is
xdddd
nah
you'd have to be completely blind to not notice
so voldis chaos dungeon was 1620?
but hard ivory tower was 1620
choas dungeon got changed with them changing t3 and the honing being removed this year
1620 was echidna
it was
Wutda
nm was 1610
Thae nm
no pls stop this nonsense, it was a lot better when new chars were timegated by akkan and brel gear for 3 weeks each, new system stinks
we had GREAT moments with 1600 ivory AND FUCKING BOZO EPIC TRASH elixirs
ah you're right, 1600 was normal
akkan 5 weeks btw
but hard was 1620
SO GREAT SYSTEM
thaemine hard was 1630
nothing like 1 month + some weeks to get full brel gear
LMFAOOOOOOO
just to do another 1 month + some weeks to get full akkan
only gate 4
no
all of it was 1630
it was 1630 full


gate 4 was just bi weekly
i'm 100% sure G4 was 10 ilvl more
they nerfed it to 1620 all later
you are 100% wrong
IT WASNT

Thats brel
was 20 for brel
g1-2 1490
g3-4 1500
g5-6 1520
1490 g1g2
1500 g3
1520 g4
maybe you're thinking of TFM?
i loved finding a new group every 2 gates
tfm was also 1630
because someone only wanted todo 1-2 or 3-4 and then songed out
not 10 ilvl more
oh huh

I love males
average male enjoyer, real
could've been worse, could've been like argos
weirdly enough, brel hm was 10 10 10
argos was either jail or blast
iirc
where group votes on where to stop and to take reward
1540 1550 1560
no inbetween
so you can only go in with a full group of minimum ilvl of the highest "gate" you want to do
and honing was super rng then cause everyone was poor
G2 was pretty fucked with the moon stagger
so if you hit the hones and your friend didn't you couldn't raid together

unless one of you wanted to basically lose half their rewards
or 2/3rds their rewards
yeah but g1/2 and g3 was "easy" G4 FUCKED 60/70% of partys
and then G5 broke even more of them, while G6 was fun but x0 broke some partys 
i hated doing sea of karkosa or whatever it's called
people couldn't for the life of them play G3
g4 was fine-ish in pugs
it was ALWAYS jail
g5-6 tho...
yeah but that was never really a relevant raid in our version
i mean i did do it back in the day before legion raids released
with every passing week where i buy out solo shop it pisses me off more that they swapped these 2 tabs
so it was kinda relevant
YES
i fucking hate this
spent basically an entire day
it depended if you had luck to go t3 fast or not
i had a very smooth first and second dungeon, but alaric took forever
i got giga unlucky iirc
and yeah sea dungeons were ptsd inducing
i remember one run i had
i spend like 2 or 3 months getting there
7 berserkers and my sorc
1234 12334

alaric was GREAT stuff
i miss it now
peak content
you get one or couple people that can't count
it seemed great, but that's cause it was new-ish cool stuff
i liked the brel dungeons ngl
get to go back to pf and do the entire gates all over
nah that shit was ass
but sea ones
g1 was meh, g2 was nice, g3 WAS GREAT
but the boss moved around a fuck ton
fuck you
maybe for u 
and visually you couldn't see shit
idk people couldn't play the safespot mech for to save their life
skill issue 
in alaric
I hated people who couldn't left click to aim light
i wanted to kill myself
like 4-5 deaths every time
Our region invented an entire cheese strat to just not do mirror and lights
the kayangle laser mech when i was progging O MY FUCKING GOD
people couldn't auto attack back then to aim it



but i think its because of m,y raid anxiety
or use skills to stagger
holy shit
it takes me a fuckton to understand simple shits
So I'm not the only one who hates this change. One of us one of us.
Early lost ark was something else
just because i have giga anxiety
i was guilty in clown G3
Lasers?
holding brutal in maiden
noone using the 15millions consumes we got on release

140
people running some disgusting engraving and skill setups
yeah when you needed to aim to the next teammate and last one aim to the boss
yep some rando AOA on class that run only 1 charging skill 
Ppl were so dumb
i think i saw a 20/20/20/20/20 split stat berserker once
that was peak
don't have the SS anymore because my old HDD got corrupted
people running levle 1 grudge and or curse doll 
yet it was GREAT fun time
average visual clarity of alaric
i avoided grudge cuz the +20% dmg taken wasnt smart for me back then 
I'll have you know i saw a se running rainbowstat in drex last week
no dispell
I was a grudge enjoyer day 1
yoho was GIGA FUN
people standing in fire for fun
yea its atrocious, i go into solo shop way more often than that stupid gold shop thats like one and done
with 10x stacks
might as well get use to taking 20% extra dmg
was dogshit
flashes green, some dumb fuck throws in blue
YES HAHAHA
Color blind and failed basic geometry
every single raid in vykas 4-5 restarts
yeah vykas
i fucking PAID velga (gr) to skipp this shit
we hands down got g.raids that kr had no issues doing nerfed

i wiped so many times because of the colors portal xdd
cause our pop was sooo fucking bad
i had a pet back then with the color order
thanks bro, i appreciated the gold
renamed it now caus doN't need it anymore
Tytalos got like two rounds of nerfs just so people could clear him
it was TRASH at 11 cuz u could be BUGGED in SHIT ZONED TRASH MAP
we all did...
that moment when you read "sry" in chat on vykas g1 and you know whats about to happen
i remember when they released the valtan patch
HAHAHAHA
or whatever added the 1415 guardian into the game
Or if he was stuck in a tree
back then you needed to beat the previous guardian to get to the next one
i sold so many velganos buses
deska best guardian of the game
i made so much gold
also hanumatan was peak cinema
my fridge's freezer door just bursts open out of nowhere as i was heading back to my room after heating up my food on the microwave
hanu was cinema, but overall it was GREAT gr
punching bag of T3
i almost shit my pants
hanu and deska were goated dailies
finally 
kunga and sonavel were 
but thats just me having skill issue dodging
deskaluda was just counter galore
i didnt mind kunga
my first clear of alaric, 2nd week after release
sonavel was awful
I hated kunga
look at those amazing raiding items
fucking dog tree
if someone was cheapo felt shit doing that daily
flare, shield potion
what am i seeing


I loved that he just had a hidden gimmick where he just fucks your mana
it was soooooo peak
yeah sonavel suucked ass
it was so peak
worse daily on bard holy shit
nobody knew how to play the stagger mech if it happend
so you either had to blast him or restart 
fuck cali....
the solar arena where he traps everyone and sends the cone shaped blasts?
couldn't use their fucking
that wasnt so bad
cleanses 
yeah that
everyone just exploded back then when that happend
i never failed cuz of that
sorc, zerk, zerk, zerk
zerk, zerk, zerk, GL
SEA DONJON
unga bunga HOPE for CLEAR
