????
ark pass is 1.5k no?
Royals yes
you can sell skin only the ones coming from rc, not bc ones
yeah u can buy skin chest for rc and sell for gold
or u can just buy gold in transfer but i think rates are shit
new skins coming tomorrow aswell
rates are shit
havent seen it yet
you can buy the skins from tomorrow and sell them aswell
(also i have 30€ more steam funds sooooo)
however, if you were to swipe for gold using currency exchange, now would be the best time to do it ngl
with how inflated the rates are
but anyway 
winter sale 
rates are turbo shit rn wym
aint gonna happen
wym aint gonna happen
i nolifed 24h in 2 days on LOA
happens every year
im not buying another game
o
this isnt even my main game
xd
yeah i wanted to ppas my painter
but u said i get there fast with quests easy with the event mats which i didnt think about
now i have rc and dont know what to do with them xd
gngn
literally 4k, this is so high compared to a "normal" rate

yeah on na maybe
So, the thing with the pass is
on euc its 3.4
You either spend time or you spend cash
thats also high as well? 
3.4 isnt normal
Idk how you value your time, but the pass can save you up to 2 weeks of time (assuming South Vern)
it was at 3.6 earlier
it can reach 5k at some times
huh
Not on eu
o
Never 5k
L
tbh
if u wanna buy gold already
and u do it for the ingame rates
you should get internet access revoked

rmters
okay, rmt and get ur acc banned (cope) or sell skins for days getting sniped 
what a tragic fate to have the "taught everything by baddaddym" brain poison
a tragedy truly
well i got my day 1 brel g3 im not gonna complain
I was not memeing when I said that, sadly (maybe half memeing)
ur never not memeing tho
Am i
I have no idea who Cornelius is
Was i
pretty sure u were involved
I legit don't remember such incident but meh
The only thing I remember saying is that paly gameplay is sleep inducing
true and real
ok so
i keep the rc for now right
and keep msq on painter
do we know what the pass skin will look like?
I think patch notes have it
About the royals, you can spend or save, if you like something buy it
Black is always chic, and it shows in these Royal Guard Boon Skins. But if monochromatic isn’t your style, pick up the Royal Guard Discipline skin and add a pop of red to your look with the new Ark Pass. You’ll also draw attention when you grab the feather trail effect that is when you’re not riding your Ice Bloom Reindeer mount.
Steam: https:/...
If you don't then you can wait for the next skin or pet or whatever
It's your cash and you already bought the best pack in the store
@rose jewel got one coming ur way 
new player questionoing gaming choices
Send me a paycheck of 100k ty

Which game has a bigger playerbase as a mmorpg WoW or lost ark

Probably wow? It has been since the dinos
Lost ark is more niche
But I like it more compared to wow
You can play both if you like as well
Ah ic i recently got a pc and i want to try the game out but i was wondering if the game died or not since i havent been really seeing online and shit when it first came out
???
F2p
Ahhh ic ic
there is a sub service but its just qol
You can test it and if you like it, keep playing, if you don't, you can play something else
not required
What is that something you are looking for specifically
Blue protocol i heard is gonna be a bust so idk
Playerbase and visuals/endgame goals etc
In terms of lost ark
Raids are fucking top tier, fights, and also classes are and feel unique
lost ark looks good for unreal engine 3
You won't find a better fight feeling
But I think it ends there
“The item name will change to Chaos Shard due to the changes of its usage.” What’s the new use of it?
there are players but getting accepted into groups are
It lacks aspects of an mmo
not good
No?
chaos shards are getting removed
nah
its not lacking players
The problem is the playerbase, not the lack of players
its lacking players that will want to pick you up for raids
But that's game design flaws imo
Ohhh
Ic
So people are stingy and picky where they only pick top rated people
right?
Experienced enough* people
nah, they just gatekeep people that look new or inexperience
There are ways to try and combat that specific issue
Hmmm is there things i can do solo for the most part or do i actually need people for the good loot?
There are discords specifically made for learning parties or low reclears
you'll need to raid to progress past 1490
or buy busses
So 1490 soft cap?
no
Yesnt
1490 is where you get the next level of gear
Ahhhh i see i see
softcap is gonna be 1620/1630 akkan gear
By going full solo 0 raids, you are stuck there forever (unless you pay, but that's dumb), raiding is the main point of the game and the only way to progress above certain points
Honestly im willing to try the game out i got it installing in the background cuz i wanted to play it ever since it released but couldnt
Or you can keep increasing your item level with older gear, but it's extremely costly to the point it's not fun
Yeah thats understandable
But raiding is just so good
you'll still be capped cause you can't hit 1580 with valtan gear
so you're forced to do brel eventually
No reason to play the game and not raid
Yeah but at least you can go to kayan 
If i remember correctly u can wipe within the raids while not doing so and so mechanics right?
Small w
imagine seeing a full valtan relic in kaya 
Eww
Yes, you raid wipe on some mechs if you fail them
pvp is relagated to GvG, some adventure islands, and the arena
Being honest, the entry level of the game is actually high
Makes sense that people dont pick low experienced players then i dont blame them
Wdym entrance level?
Like skill curve?
The very first heavy mech on the very first raid will raid wipe if 1 person fucks up
Jeez
the barriers to entry this game is high
both in getting into lobbies as a new player, catching up content, getting things that increase ur power, AND, doing mechs and raids
Like, the very first raid, you expect something epic but not really that hard, something you can go in blind and have a hard time but clear anyway
NOPE, a big fuck you if you fail
if u dont read a guide for the first raid, you will wipe the entire party 
Thats tough
within the first mech 
valtan 
💀
The wolves are fucking trash
yeah the mech is simple on paper, but for new players it can be hard
But after that shit gate, the actual boss is fucking epic
Uh do u guys have a book on the mechanics then?
But i feel like that would ruin immersion no?
We have vids and cheat sheets
Cuz ur spoiling urself
there are guides over the internet in video format and mobalytics
players nowadays have the raids memorized but we all started from videos and guides except the few that did blind progs

Ah okay thats fair then
12334 Dx
what immerision

even if you watch videos or read guides
Like seeing something for the first time and allat
The raids and what u do u figure out urself
you're doing it for hte first time, readign something and doing something is completely different
Yeah ur right
blind prog is
Most people just want the thing done fast, but some scarce individuals want to go blind
Its just a guide at the end of the day even if u memorize it u still might fail
And allat
what looks fun
The issue is how this game's core gameplay is
but blind prog is how people get annoyed at not clearing raids within a certain amount of time
Which would also be time consuming if went in blind im guessing
nah, I just cram guides the day before I go to prog with my static 
Very time consuming
Yeah true
i have video on background while progging 
Do i need to have any addons for the game?
Cuz for wow we had cursed forge
Ah okay
Like, some people took a couple days to clear the whole 6 gates of one of the hardest raids, and that's after watching guides
Imagine going blind, they can take a week/s
Gotchaaaa alright yeah makes guides worth reading and following then
And when you first go to a raid, you will take plenty deaths before getting some muscle memory
Ngl Lost Ark seems hype asf like high risk high rewards type gameplay
I see a future goblino in front of my eyes
XDDDDD
Whats that?
holy duo
we have the holy duality
Tanks are not a thing, and supports are not healers

sups can heal
You dodge boi
SHEEEESH
yes and no to the support part
but optimally they should not
They are not healers, they can heal but are not healers
Ahhh ic what u mean
Fuck paly
fk paly
How many classes are in the game btw?
like 20?
25?
20-25 somewhere in there
Usually supports give atk buffs, damage mitigations like shields or DR and then they can heal if neede
and only 3 supports 
need, depends on which raids but basically every party takes a support
Technically no but practically yes, it's a lot easier.
Wait so if theres no tanks how does one pull aggro?
no pull aggro
Aggro is random
aggro is random
just die
Interesting
You dodge like a gigachad


The less damage you take the more atk buffs your supports gives you
Damn Lost Ark is a change in things group wise
Cuz they are not healing or?
More atk buffs, more dmg
sups have to decide between heal or atk buff
Big numbers
except pally 
Pala shrugs
OHH
Ic
Eager to play this game now
Sick
Read 10hrs of guides before moving your char
Brel (one of the legion raids you'll run)
Bro the visuals look insane
HUH
She is one if not the best looking raid
Like my starting character?
wait till you see thaemine 
starting guides yeah
start within 3 hours to get powerpass 
nah

BRO THIS IS SO MUCH
welcome to mmo
Teehee
First check the classes, pick one you like, then you can start researching the game
Im reading the class selection advice guide
You either support or dps, that's the first step
Dps for sure lul
should we
LMFAO
discuss entropy
Nah
nah
Later
damn that sht ugly
yeah kinda
With increased defense
if you play mayhem
Risky
but you get like 80%? dr or some shit
Not rly
so you basically take the same dmg as you would normally
something around there
male classes 
it basically just eqauls you out to being a normal class at 100% hp
gender locked classes btw
Wait what
i love how you reality check here and put "is lost ark still relevant" on your discord status
I wanna be female hmm
tier
this game overall is fun if you know what you're doing
Damn reaper sounds fun but its a red class
For now
reaper isn't a new player friendly class
Reapers will have a difficult time finding parties that will accept them, as they have a strong stigma against them for their general squishiness and tendency to die.
Thats wacj
wack
Balance patch on Jan will make her stronger and shit, but still hard to play compared to other ungabunga classes
won't change a floor pov from being floor pov

hey i love floor pov
Carry me for free plz ty
Slayer is female?
I can tell, sorc main 
Does anybody know how many days are the minimum to complete music box?
I LOST
no you're wd you suppose to press your ww every 15secs for me
depends on phantomwing isle
I fucking told you
I told y'all he will pick slayer
😭
Really good
Slayer is top tier
Slayer it is then
both specs of slayer are in a good place
for now
Of course she does, she's a newer/recent class
Oh is she really?
took me 21 days for Music Orb #2 (Phantomwing Island)
if you're new player you will suffer for Music Orb #3 you need to collect 48 masterpieces
💀
goodluck.
Tits ofc
Ngl i just want a sexy ass character to play that deals massive dmg
Told you
Phantomwing Island spawn time is so shit man
Ight well thats settled onto the next guide
2 big reasons: the left and the right strong and sexy
play First Intention wardancer, buy beach skin, dye the skin FFFFFF, glow 50%, voila
You get some for free
A Powerpass is Lost Ark’s version of a “level boost” or other paid/premium boost in other games.
Ah ic
How much is the beach skin
$20?
cheap as f
As of now you can get 1 (up to 2) free ones
Ahh ic ic
Oh so this jump start quick start is going to what im mainly using right?
The game will give you a lot of shit at the start, it will last a couple months until you get the hang of it and get your own resources to buy your accessories etc
Thanks for info 😄
If you plan on playing more characters(early game) do NOT open anything with these materials and just save them in your storage for future characters. Otherwise just trash them.
Jump start server was good for new and returning people, but hype died and now it's not as good anymore, maybe start on a normal and populated server is the best
😭
entropoop
congratulations
cue
Are you a lore/story person or you couldn't give less of a fuck about it
Honestly theres no games that really entertain me lore wise
But im down
If its really good
couldve had underbooba 
It can take like 40hrs and early story is kinda mid
its aight
Whose that
if you really want to know the story just watch a video on it
gunslinger
gunslinger
Floorslinger
high apm feels good to move with but has a few long animations
In the beginning?
zdps floorpov slinger
All the story takes around 40~hrs if you don't skip stuff
Yeah im not skipping if its good
Btw
How do i know which server is good for me
It put me to east NA
Azena
its mostly just which is popular
Depends on where you live is the region
Then on the region there are some more populated servers
Ight
go Azena i will help you free bus valtan vykas if you chirping on discord and sing me a song
Huh
probably wants a meow too 
And some "oni-sama"
Huh
Im confused
valtan and vykas are early raids
it mostly wont have groups because no one runs them but its required to progress
bus is when someone carries the raid with overgeared characters
Really?
Poor Eugene, he won't have his oni-sama anymore
Wtf
can someone explain what to do for the shapes mechanic when you're a person down (brel g2)? like if a star is missing and im on square, should i kill the star and then kill my squares right after?
no, just kill star
if no one covers
Not rly, hard but not impossible, tons doing it yet
wait then who should kill my squares then?
Which one
only ever kill one type of shape, but star must be killed
No one
azena
Ight bet
star is required, other shape dont matter if someone die
WOAH THE CHARACTERS LOOK SICK
ahhhh okay
killing square or diamonds just gives you the buff on you to survive right?
yes
Warrior female is slayer?
ah ok, ty very much
and star gives you the buff to keep square/diamonds alive
makes a lot of sense when i think about it but i am dumb
so if by / ry kill wrong star he will most likely sacrifice other people
It's the only female warrior yes
what do you mean kill wrong star? there's only 2 stars though
if brel shines blue and blue is killed, thats wrong star
and they wont have buff to keep either squares or diamond alive
ahhh okay
that makes sense, i've always done square or diamond so i had no clue what was to be done for stars
WHERE U GET THAT HELLOOOOO
Wait I have a frost sword?
Her entrance character selection looked like a fire one
But lore wise she has an ice
rohendel was ass
rly tempted to kt this to sv ngl
BRO
can u buy it for blues
no
This seems more paved towards defense and dex No?
there is a 4300 pack one with weapon and mount and pet
i hate myself
there is
useless info
doesnt mean an ything
i liked glavier t2 gear
Ah okay good to know
you can get it as a skin
oh wtf
theres literally skin crafting
doesnt matter i dropped it

I can’t have this outfit as soon as I start can I?
its your default gear
you won't
you get at the start of the game
REALLY
thats entropy
my game crashed over 10 times today, never happened before, anyone got same problem? thank you
im misinfo
💀
you wont get that starting out
no
you will get it later
I love her default look
EW
It covers the boob bro
this
lost ark has a thing for bikinis, sheer clothing, and casual clothing

fantasy armor is very lacking in this game
suits
suits too
Bro that’s amazing

ah there you go
Can I change my character appearance later?
YOOO
How much
Cash ticket for hair and such
Face
any newly created char can change their appearance for the next 24 hours, afterwards, they need to pay 10$
For skins, you can just dye them
Those images are like 5mb each I'm not opening that
isnt that the default slayer preset
think so
bikinis
yes make signum run out of data
BET
Sorry 😭😭
search by slayer as well
It just shows the size, it won't count if I don't push
you can rate limit discord?
But I'm home in like 39 so meh
oh wait i think i saw that setting
ah
Ight imma be back I gotta focus
Bro I live in a 3rd world country ofc I dont

nice roster 
ty 
I will switch to a larger data plan later
But unlimited would cost like 3/4 of my monthly salary or more
mex

I'm your southern friendly neighbor
kinda horny ishy
i wish i had this wallpaper
wasnt too big in the game when it came out tho

3rd world country but southern neighbor? 
yeah, I made sure I got this wallpaper
but I wish I got the witchers emotes before my break from LA 
I think my English didn't English
like
no, im j ust shit at geography 
south of na
oh 

let me hit that triport real quick
Imagine not using bifrost
i can get to the border in like 2 hours, meet me half way signum 
Risky business, will take 10,000 extra royal crystals

Yo guys tough decision which one u think looks really good
that phone picture really messes it up
i like neither iddk
use snipping tool next time
but look what i have now
I can’t
i know what to spend all my rcs on now
It doesn’t let me In game
unlucky
you wont be allowed to use snipping tool if ur game is in fullscreen
most likely
i also wouldnt use either of these
but thats jusit me
who doesnt play in borderless?

sharex 
i play every game on borderless
TYSM
same
besides some mmos i have to multibox
gotta go windowed on one of em to put it on second screen if its only double box or 4x windowed on main screen + browser etc on second
still none, but if i had to pick, the bottom right one
dont like the lips and the facial characteristics

Fair
ok but look at the difference of my earlier pic of my artist and the current
Where
i like what people call "average korean presets" pale skin, no blemishes, small nose etc
but to someone, its very common in this game
dark one is preset other one is mine
these talented people make presets so we can use em, no time in the world gonna get u the same result if u havent done it 100x before tbh
whole game in it self
there should be directions in the preset channel
prob pins
do we have a chance of getting a pp in ark pass or for christmas or sth?
no
sadge
im so tempted to pass to punika on painter omg
do we know of any expresses coming soon?
or is it also new class exclusive?
mokoko, story, whatever
Literally almost everything is Korean/JP etc
normally powerpass and expresses are class exclusive
so we'll jst have to wait and see
okok
whats the best way to get a character to endgame without it then
buy pass or actually play
(its at 700 rn)
Wait this Reyna one looks really nice
bros a valorant player 
xd
jk, im one too unfort 
do i need RC for anything else?
Bro I’m stuck at the character screen MAAAAAN
i could go to elgacia pass and have 1.5k rc left for pass
i literally compete in valorant so i cant talk 
ew valorant
i play colliegate valorant for my school 
i manage tournament streams

i stream collegiate lmao

cracked at 90s
Ight if I don’t like my character I could just pay $10 to create a new face and allat after the 24hrs right?
wait do u even get enoug mats if u pass?
for the first 24 hours, its free
just did that yes
a pass only gives you the gear
gives u no mats
I doubt I would change it in 24 hrs lul
Ooooh ic ic
will i get enoug stuff to upgrade it
possible when you see it in new lighting
from daylies
also check your face in other light settings
lucy on slayer kek
you can but itll take time just like anything else 
look my disc profile lol
well my SE got to 1520 in 1 day :^)
ew league player
Bro it’s not league
its my job hop off
my job too
my se got to 1580 in 1 day 

1 day since i started playing
i am still smashing my head into brel mechs
and dont know any mechs from previous
i got so much to catch up on lmao
maybe i should only do punika pass and learn the raids one by one instead of headsmashing them again until i get through
def take your time
and chill on main aswell after weeklies and do some horizontals
take it like studying
shooting up to 1540 without knowing anything wasnt the best choice i made
but i somehow gotta finish SE path until feb
well gg ive never studied in my life
i dont know how it
works
league for example, smashed my head into it and sucked for years and suddenly i was pro level kek
me neither
(still no mechanics at all, im living proof macro only players can get chall even in EU)
take my time as in start from 700 or as in start from punika (1250 t3 legendary)
take your time learning raids
obv but where do i start
oh
because 700 to 1415 for raids seems like a lot to do
youre making new character from scratch?
what is your char ilvl now
noono i passed it to 500 with free vern pass and honed to 700, did KT to rohendel
the highest one
701.66
just kt, no?
1518.33 you should learn vykas kakul and brel 1-3
but gold
should i just get bus for brel g4 once for the soul eater event then?
sure
okk
but g4 brel min ilvl is 1520
if your char above 1540 below 1580, gold source is brel 1-4, kaya, kakul
below 1540 above 1520 brel 1-4, kakul, vykas
that + weekly should be enough for now
but still i need help on the painter thing, i kinda know what to do on main i think
like i cant learn 4 raids at once
might as well start with veltan
and go one by one
and tbh brel is not that hard, you just need dmg + math on your head + shape & color on your head
yeah i somehow managed to imposter my way through g1-g3 this time
dmg + math = g1-2 brel
shape + color = g3 brel
why do people buy clown busses can't u just do kayangel and skip gear lvl 2?
gold
u can but kaya is turbo gatekept
some mats from clown horns
artist?
kt doesnt give me the gear tho right
yeah i call it painter
i dont remember
and yall should aswell
no
it doesnt

u need the lvl to kt
no mats
idk man i trust my money i KT my artist to SV then buy elgacia pass its 1100 rc
oh u can do that?
SE needs mats itself
until its 1540 at least for now
wait is weekly raid roster or character
is it MT already?
like can i learn on painter and then do them on se again?
no
4 hours
ah.
each raid is per char
once on artist, once on se
ok gud
yes
3 gold raids per character per week
gud gud
can continue to do all other raids per character for no gold
welcome to mmo
ahhh sick so i can do comp for gold and then learning
oh
