[twin terrace]

is shadowhunter similliar to DH?

[modest lynx]

@umbral hazel this should answer most questions https://youtu.be/_3gGIrf2gOw

[long prawn]

They both have demon forms, aside from that I dont see any similarities. Wow and LA have very different combat systems

[final bramble]

They both have demon forms and two weird arm blade things

[umbral hazel]

yea watching it

[fossil ridge]

the founders pack rewards are stackable right ? if i buy plat and gold i get the rewards from both of them

[modest lynx]

yes

[fossil ridge]

when do we get the rewards official launch or head start ?

[long prawn]

Head start

[modest lynx]

instant u login head start

[fossil ridge]

is it worth buying the gold package for the extra rewards , i already have the plat one ?

[final bramble]

If you want

[long prawn]

Worth? No

[umbral hazel]

imo no

[final bramble]

“Worth it” is subjective

[long prawn]

If you want to spend more money just buy in game currency

[modest lynx]

Crystals in each pack are worthed the ammount hte pack is, so u get other stuff aswell. so if u plan on buying skins and other things with crystals.. yes

[elfin condor]

If you plan on spending more anyway, then probably yes

[umbral hazel]

is it really?

[leaden temple]

Are we receiving the updated engravings such as blade and madness berserker?

[final bramble]

The gold pack has about 100$ worth of “stuff” in it counting the crystals

[fossil ridge]

i mean its like -1k crystal in the gold pack if we watch only that right ? cuze in game im guessing 50$ is 5k crystals for gold 50$ 4k crystals + the char slot

[shy escarp]

whats the polish mechanic ?

[umbral hazel]

am guessing 1k crystal ~10$ and you probably gonna get more than 5k crystals for 50$ since you usually get "bonuses" in other games when buying higher crystals packs

[celest sapphire]

is this treasure map a random drop globally?

[umbral hazel]

so imo, if you already have plat founder, gold founder only gonna give you dupe stuffs like pet/skins and less crystals value, unless you value that extra founder skin abit

[long prawn]

If you really like the lawmaker skin then get the gold one, but I recommend just buying stuff in game later on

You can even wait until the battle pass comes out and get that

[modest lynx]

well we are guessing the prise of crystals. but looking at other regions. 1k=10 euro/us

[gray laurel]

I can play on not allow region when my steam is eu region and I can see the game at store ?

[modest lynx]

Also if u are fine on spending.. Supply crates do help

[leaden temple]

Are we receiving the updated engravings such as burst blade and madness berserker?

[modest lynx]

@leaden temple we should be getting the same balance patch that is in KR

[leaden temple]

Thanks @modest lynx

[modest lynx]

@gray laurel u can choose a region to play in, but your cash shop is locked to your steam region

so.. u pay in euro even if u play in US server

[gray laurel]

I can see the game on store

I buy from Amazon founder

But it won’t see that I log from not allowed region ?

My steam is eu

[modest lynx]

when i tried buying the founder from amazon, the moment i chose my payment method it turned into euro prices

[gray laurel]

I have Amazon eu to so it’s let me with no problem

[modest lynx]

If u are talking about NL and Bel.. i doubt u will be able to play

[gray laurel]

From israel

[gray laurel]

Already did all good about that

[modest lynx]

this is an official answer from Roxx: Our partnership with SGR allows us to publish the game in specific regions that have been outlined in our contracts together – this is not necessarily based on the geographic locations of countries, but areas that we have been granted publishing rights to. Unfortunately, Israel is not included in this

from 12 days ago

[gray laurel]

That’s why I have eu steam

[proud apex]

[elfin surge]

Are there any videos for complete beginners? Every time I try and watch anything that purports to be for beginners it still seems like it is pretty much a foreign language and I just do not understand any of it >.<

[proud apex]

videos hmm

i watch swyoo he helps sort of

[pastel wyvern]

anyone know what classes r getting delayed on na release

[proud apex]

destory artist i think some fighters classes??

[noble coral]

That's just the nature of things. There's a lot of systems to work with and you really want to take it all in piece meal sizes.

[proud apex]

Geze pic of fable

yea this game have a lot stuff but you get used once we do in game

[shut pasture]

Unfortunately they tend to make their videos too concise to properly explain things.

This google doc may provide some more detailed information:

oh

[noble coral]

Yis =3

[proud apex]

oh

[untold garden]

Whats the maximum guild size?

[modest lynx]

100

[untold garden]

tyvm

[proud apex]

are you a chicken chaser you chase chickens

[shut pasture]

100, but it starts at 30 and it takes a long while to level the guild up enough for that.

[untold garden]

how long exactly? me and my buddies are currently building a guild and closing in at 30+ already

[proud apex]

100 damn

[spiral thistle]

The max amount for any current raid is 8 man. You got enough for 3 groups. Isn't that enough starting out? ^^

[modest lynx]

well level 21 guild has 80 slots.. so it takes time

[shut pasture]

Months. Pretty much any large guild going into this game is going to be making multiple guilds for mains, as well as Alt centered guilds for their members.

[proud apex]

oo

[untold garden]

Oh shet, I didnt know this stuff. Thanks a lot.

[tulip plaza]

Will we get subclass change passes eventually? Like how in maplestory u can switch warrior subclass around

[modest lynx]

nope

[proud apex]

subclasses changes in this game i dont think so lol

[silver elbow]

can you change every aspect of appearance after you create characters?

[modest lynx]

yes, with cash shop item

[last pike]

Not body tho

[elfin surge]

Ty!

[silver elbow]

isnt body standard per class/race

[misty kestrel]

Will you be able to invite people to your guild on day 1?

[last pike]

Yea, you can change neck up is how i understand it

[silver elbow]

and this is available with the cash version only, not the obtainable through game?

[modest lynx]

this should allow you to change anything u can customize when u first create it

only cash shop

well its royal crystal shop.. so with those

[silver elbow]

kk

ty for help

[fossil ridge]

do we know the power pass price ?

[sharp bear]

not at launch

who knows, that feature is new on KR recently so not anytime soon.

If you move soon then just start on EU to save headache

[pure yacht]

Aint lost ark out already in america?

[fossil ridge]

no

[pure yacht]

Wait but why streamers lile bluddshed able to play it everyday then

[fossil ridge]

KR or RU

[modest lynx]

they play KR/RU with language pack

[pure yacht]

So ur telling me he is from NA playing in KR or RU

That is dedication lmao

The ping must be insane

[modest lynx]

its an addiction 🙂

[steady violet]

ping is fine

my vpn server is in the same country i am in 40ms

really important what vpn to use

[wheat bobcat]

What's the breakdown of cross server play? Like what's the limitations? For instance I plan to pvp main so what would i be missing if I chose the "wrong" server? From my understanding casual+ranked will still be cross server? Just private+ GvG will be server locked?

[slim plover]

correct

instanced content + auction house is cross server

and what you said pvp wise

[modest lynx]

Guild stuff is server locked, friends stuff is server locked, Market is region, pve is region

[slim plover]

open world is server based and would fall under pve

[modest lynx]

well i mean group finder pve 😉

[twin island]

Anyone in here lived RU/other release ? Was there an issue with servers being full on official launch (full for registration dont mean que login times)

[wheat bobcat]

Thank you

[untold garden]

Any1 good with region restricted games that could give me some quick advice lol

[heady canyon]

hey so im trying to buy the thing with steam via vpn, si making new account, should i invent random city and address?
what about the phone number?!

[pure yacht]

i know for at fact everything on my steam either says "K" or "24"

You can just type some random stuff

[heady canyon]

oh cool ty ty

[pure yacht]

But why buy with a vpn?

[heady canyon]

what other choice do i have?

[untold garden]

Cuz region restriction in NL/Belgium

[raw atlas]

Are the founder rewards bank shareable?

[pure yacht]

oh

you're restricted to buy lost ark in netherlands and belgium?

[heady canyon]

yea restriction.

[pure yacht]

Why?

[untold garden]

aye

[heady canyon]

god knows why

[untold garden]

cuz gacha

[pure yacht]

because it's a mmo? Because it's gore?

[boreal oyster]

because theres laws against, effectively, randomized item drops in games in those two countries.

[pure yacht]

oooh gambling?

[boreal oyster]

lootboxes.

[pure yacht]

oh okay

i get it :)

[untold garden]

Imagine being 25+y/o and having the government hold your hand when it comes to gaming

Kinda ridiculous

[boreal oyster]

i mean, the thing is that it'd be fine if they just classified it as gambling, but then the tax of it would change a lot, and reporting of it, so game companies dont wnat to do it

[fossil ridge]

quick question, can someone explain whats the difference between continent knowledge transfer char boosts ?

does different continent gives u more char boosts ?

[misty tree]

U know what different continents are? Bern & Roehendel is tier 1 continents. Yorn & Paeyton is t2. So you can unlock tier 1 or tier 2 content based on which continent u boost to.

[lethal arrow]

does anyone know what EU server wont have many turkish people?

[modern musk]

is there a difference between t1 and t2 continent knowledge trasnfer ?

[noble coral]

Yes, T2 is a lot less efficient than the T1 one

[maiden locust]

When is lancemaster coming out? I remember playing it on Russia client but it aint here in NA despite the class being here

[modern musk]

is there like a limit of the boost chars i can do for vern ? or i can do like more than 1 alt for 600gold , at every 8h @noble coral

[noble coral]

So long as your main meets the criteria - You can pay 600 gold per alt to reach T1

[modern musk]

aslong i have 600 gold i can get as many alt i want for t1 ?

[noble coral]

600 gold per alt aye

[modern musk]

is it worth getting gold whit crystals ? cuze i think u can

[wheat bobcat]

I thought this was 600g per 1 manual leveled. So level 3 manually get 3 knowledge transfers

[noble coral]

You can, but if it is worth it or not is up to personal preference

[modern musk]

ye thats what i was thinking @wheat bobcat

[dull cloud]

There was clarification in #announcements
Esentially, the first boost is just 600 gold per alt, and can do as many alts. The further stages require a 1:1 etc etc (details in above)

[mortal fractal]

just Add 2 Don't ban me Street, VPN City 1001

you do know they can detect if you are using a VPN, right?

[noble coral]

I am not sure what you mean by level 3 manually, sorry

[wheat bobcat]

From my understanding you need to level 1 character from 1-50 by yourself for each knowledge transfer character

[noble coral]

Uhh, no? Don't think that's how it goes. I believe that as soon as you meet the criteria for the lvl 50 knowledge transfer, you can do it as many alts as you like (Assuming you've got the gold to pay for it)

[modern musk]

im confused so when i reach lvl 50 and do the quests for knowledge transfer, for vern boost i can do as many alts i want for 600gold , i just need 1 char lvl 50 ? if i want to go above Vern i need more chars,gold and ilvl ? @dull cloud

[dull cloud]

Yep

Typically the higher boosts aren't really efficent anyway

[noble coral]

Yes.

As they span less levels and less time spent in game clearing the content, but cost more gold

[boreal oyster]

fyi, you can only have one char being boosted to 50 at a time. it takes 8 hours.

[modern musk]

so when i boost to vern , to unlock the other contents does it gonna take alot of time , like almost the same time as lvling ? sry ive never played in ru or kr ;d

[wheat bobcat]

If you pay crystals it didn't apply. Only if you wanted to go the gold route for knowledge transfer

[noble coral]

From experience from Vern to Shushire is a lot less time than it was to get to Vern. And same goes from Shushire to Rohendale

[dull cloud]

You cannot boost straight away from the vern boost. So if you boost an alt to Vern, you have to do some manual work to upgrade gear before you can get to the next boost threshold (You can't just back to back put an alt from 1st boost, to 2nd etc)

Because of that, plus the additional gold, it's generally best to just put the manual work in after you do the initial boost

[umbral hazel]

is summoner a playable class at NA/EU Release?

[boreal oyster]

no

[noble coral]

Not on release

[modern musk]

how do u gear the boosted alts to vern , isnt the chaos dungeon gear char bounded @dull cloud

[dull cloud]

Once they are boosted, you just progress them like a normal freshly leveled character. You do your dailies/weeklies and gear them up. You are able to get account bound upgrade materials - but you want to transfer them to your main, to boost them up from your alts, not the other way round. E.g. your alts will get account bound materials, you transfer to your main to ensure they keep progressing

[noble coral]

Chaos dungeons/Guardian Raids. And I think you still gotta do some leg work with the story (Not sure on that last bit tho)

[modern musk]

what about Shushire quests for gear i know u get ilvl 302 from there, like can i get the gear from there on my main and move it on the alt ?

[dull cloud]

No.

[dim night]

So if i'd buy 3 preorder packages do i get 90 days premium or only 30?

[dull cloud]

You can do the shushire quest on your alts if you want to get the same gear, but you don't need to do Shushire on any alts, you can get the same ilvl gear from first Chaos Dungeon

[dull cloud]

The crystalline aura stacks.

[dim night]

good 👍

[modern musk]

one thing i didnt understand when u boost the alt to vern u dont get any gear ? or u have some

[dull cloud]

True, you will get a set of gear & accessories in your mailbox

[noble coral]

But only to ilvl302 if I am not mistaken

[modern musk]

oh alright i thought i start whit 0 ilvl gear

[noble coral]

(or to the equivalent of the boost)

[modern musk]

does anyone know how much it costs to make 600gold whit crystals ?

[sly moss]

as in exchanging blue crystal for golds?

[upbeat lichen]

Hello, today I tried to play lost ark, but when I launch the game I can't get past the menu. My left click is not working at all in game and when I press right click it shows that I'm "clicking" but does nothing, I even upgraded my windows 10 to windows 11, multiple restarts, changed resolution etc, but nothing changed, anyone know what I can do ?

[sly moss]

that one depend on the community

[modern musk]

ye im guessing u buy the blue crystals whit the one u get from the founder package ?

[jovial pilot]

So u can only get gold with crystals if the player base is selling. I so not recommend trying to sell ur crystals for gold in the earlies. The gold to crystal ratio would be so low and u would lose more than gain

[maiden locust]

the games not out? what region

[noble coral]

If you played Guild Wars 2 - It's a very similar system. It's an auction and the market will decide the cost. Don't think we can tell ahead of time

[upbeat lichen]

Russia

[maiden locust]

i have no idea was just playing on it, tried anyother games recently?

[jovial pilot]

Long story short no one is gonna be trading gold for crystals for a bit

[upbeat lichen]

Anything else works just fine

[noble coral]

So when you launch the game - Does it go via the GAMES.RU client?

[upbeat lichen]

yes

[modern musk]

@jovial pilot why ?

[noble coral]

Do you get a windows admin prompt to run an application? And once that is done - At the main menu, what can you see? (Should be a server list)

[jovial pilot]

Because we dont make any considerable gold until t3

[upbeat lichen]

I see server list, I can enter a server by pressing "enter" but after that I can't do nothing since I can't use my left click

[noble coral]

Mouse cursor is windows? Or game (Forgot what color it was by default)

[upbeat lichen]

game

cursor is the game skin

[dull cloud]

the conversion is determined by the player need/demand. In the beginning, the value of your crystals will be very low - as no one will have gold to transfer into crystals. You will be throwing your crystals down the drain, as the value will increase ten fold within months

[prime basin]

Hi guys ! I would like to know if someone knew the name of a free vpn to go on RU version (i just want to do my skins and save them to no waste time at release).
I already used my 3 day on Exit lag and a free day on AVG. If someone know the name of an other one i take it 😉

[noble coral]

Gotcha. It might be left clicking the background - Try to see in settings if you're running it in borderless window mode or something similar. Try to set it to full screen (Not sure if there's an .ini file where you can do it outside the client)
Have you played with the resolution settings at all?

[noble coral]

I think it was 7 days with AVG and you can just re-install it?

[upbeat lichen]

I managed to change resolution once by alt-tabbing multiple times, but now I'm stuck, the trick is not working anymore

[modern musk]

is it slower to make the 600g at the beginning ? @dull cloud just from playing no crystals

[upbeat lichen]

But still didn't work

Changed my monitor resolution/refresh rate

[prime basin]

I tried many time to reinstall and delete all hidden file doesn't work anymore this tips :p (or maybe i'm missing something)

[noble coral]

I am more interested in the game being fullscreen

[upbeat lichen]

It is full screen

now its full screen

[dull cloud]

Gold generation for everyone will be quite slow until people start to get to Tier 3. 600 gold is quite a bit early on in the game (crystals or not)

[noble coral]

DM me your PC specs

[jovial pilot]

Anyone on ru still? Do u know or can check if u can paste words into the character name box with ctrl+v?

[dense marten]

lvl cap?

[modern musk]

i see tyvm

[jovial pilot]

Soft cap 50 , hard cap 60

[dense marten]

someone said 200

[modern musk]

oh one more thing is there any point of doing Shushire to skip one ilvl chaos dungeon ?

[dull cloud]

You'll have to do Shushire on your main to unlock things, but you can skip on alts if you want.

[modern musk]

oh ye when do u stop whit the main quests ?

[jovial pilot]

U can skip shuahire on main u dont have to do it if u plan on rushing

[dull cloud]

I mean its not really advised due to the Una quests etc that unlock - but yeah its possible to skip

[jovial pilot]

I mean there are othrr una quests that give same rewards lol

And it also depends on if u rushing or not

[iron orbit]

you can go to T2 without doing Sushire?

[dull cloud]

It's not mandatory, no, but honestly just do it on a main lol. It's an easy way to get skill points from adventure tome.

if you aren't that experienced, I would just advise doing it on a main to make sure you aren't missing anything later down the road.

[brittle kraken]

it is bad just doing main quests?

[modern musk]

till when is the main quest line ? @dull cloud

[high lance]

Do guild names follow the same convention of no spaces and only a capital letter at start?

[drowsy anchor]

Is character boost 600 gold per character or does it increase?

[fossil ridge]

i see ppl stopping whit the main quest line the second they get the Blue quests at lvl 36 why is that ?

[thick crater]

It goes up depending to what stage you want to boost the character to. check #announcements for the specific costs.

[sly moss]

is your main quest from that point onward

[fossil ridge]

yes but why does the other one stop giving xp ?

[long prawn]

it doesnt stop

it just doesnt exist from that point on

[sly moss]

your old main quest require you to collect all the arks from each region

blue quest point you toward those region

so your blue quest is your "main" quest from that point onward

[fossil ridge]

alright ty

[abstract crystal]

I notice that when watching LA played, loot pops up right in the middle of the screen, can that be changed?

[oblique dove]

No

[abstract crystal]

That suuuuuuuuucks

I hate it blocking out the middle of screen oof

[sharp bear]

all will get used to it. KR had that for years.

[oblique dove]

You stop seeing it at all after a bit

[abstract crystal]

I still hate it

Gonna play but I HATE that lmao

[mental ether]

How mechanically intensive is gunslinger? It looks super fun and I would like to main it but is it like, the complexity of a reasonably-complex moba character or does it require something closer to starcraft APM

[unborn gull]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-laptop-fast-homework-apple-gif-5315897

I haven't played too much gunslinger, take this with a grain of salt, but I think it's more about knowing your cooldowns and when to use your abilities than it is about apm. I believe Blade is considered the highest apm classs? but everyone needs to be pretty fast due to the nature of the raids where you have to react quickly to very scary things.

[maiden locust]

anyone know how much crystalline aura is when shop opens?

[worthy shale]

Hi, at around when does one begin to see their class engraving drop?

[oblique dove]

$10/30days

[maiden locust]

thanks

[oblique dove]

Lvl 50

[unborn gull]

as soon as you can do chaos dungeons you can start collecting class engraving books, and that happens quickly after 50

[worthy shale]

Oh nice. They are random drop?

[unborn gull]

you can buy them from chaos vendor, or a bunch of quests give them, or roll gear with 'em

getting your level 1 class engraving shouldn't take terribly long, especially if you look up guides for collecting books

[worthy shale]

Okay

[maiden locust]

for all the people wanting to pick a server, ags itself acknowledged the spreadsheet

[maiden locust]

most kadan on eu if not like all of them

[pallid sparrow]

Blah.

[maiden locust]

[sharp bear]

[steady violet]

what are prerequisites to get 1st t1 gear?

[steady violet]

Shushire, that must be it. ty

[maiden locust]

Is there a time limit on when I can order a Founder's Pack?

I cant find anywhere for which classes will be released for NA/EU launch?

[worthy shale]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/game/classes

[maiden locust]

type lost ark classes

[eager egret]

I ve seen some people says Gunlancer wont be in day 1 but i see its on list

[maiden locust]

whoever said that is dumb

[eager egret]

thats why i got confused lmao

yeah tho so rofl

[boreal oyster]

probably the same people whos aid you dont need a support for T1.

[tribal sleet]

what exactly does that amzon game announcement mean for lost ark?

[boreal oyster]

nothing, really. just follow the community self-selected segregation

[tribal sleet]

oh okay cool so i should be chillin if i get it from amazon

[bronze lance]

dont rely on that graphic

It was made for people to know where our discord communities are going

[maiden locust]

stop being a party pooper

[charred bronze]

Question. Is there any chance of getting Czech translation to the game? If so, I'd like to offer my help with wide knowledge of Czech grammar and good sense of literalism. Any way to register or demonstrate?

[maiden locust]

somebody might make a fan czech translation if they are dedicated enough

[small ermine]

7th

[maiden locust]

7th 6pm CET

[small ermine]

That's 9am pst

[charred bronze]

I'd say i am quite dedicated, also setting up a team of multiple people would be a short process. Can I get any more informations?

The Czech community regarding this game is enormous and i know it would be appreciated by many gamers.

[maiden locust]

no idea im not Czech unfortunately

[proud apex]

ooooo

[charred bronze]

I was wondering if there is some more official place for suggestions?

[maiden locust]

I'm just saying its possible, since we got a fan english translation for RU. Just means any language can get a fan translation if people try it

[maiden locust]

im sorry i cant be of more help no idea :(

[charred bronze]

I just have a big experience with translating, suddenly no experience with plugins etc, i don't know how exactly create the translate itself or code it. In that case i wanted to contact some of the actual staff :)

[maiden locust]

you could get in contact with the person who translated the russian version to english, he would know how to code it

[charred bronze]

Is there any way you could get me a contact?

[maiden locust]

i can try to find something, no promises 2 seconds

[charred bronze]

Thanks!

[long prawn]

one class

[shut pasture]

No.

[long prawn]

maybe later

but for now, there arent any known ways

[shut pasture]

Unless they start selling them on the cash shop, but that is not a thing that is confirmed

[sharp bear]

make multi accounts to get them all if want

[raw atlas]

Are the founder items bank shareable?

once redeemed on a char

[shut pasture]

They would be bound to those accounts.

[long prawn]

you can share them between chars in the same server

[sinful cloak]

So how do we exactly know righht now where which community's are going? with what languages?

[shut pasture]

Not like that. That would not be a solution.

[solar urchin]

Guys can a Sub-Master in a Guild accept people who wants to join the guild?

[misty tree]

Ask @slate zephyr

[charred bronze]

Thank you!

[shut pasture]

Currently its just very rough guesstimates based on where guilds are going.

[sharp bear]

it will be expensive. buy plat pack for each new account if you want them all. other than Paper said wait for later to buy off auction house or cash shop

[maiden locust]

your best bet is to get in contact with papunika or perciculum

[sinful cloak]

and where can we see people guessing?

[solar urchin]

Someone knows?

[shut pasture]

That isn't a solution to what they are looking for, though. They'd have to be playing like multiple different accounts. Thats bonkers.

[sharp bear]

yeah of course, just offer options. i wouldnt do it anyway 😛

[shut pasture]

There is a google doc linked which shows it and its being discussed elsewhere but I don't know specifically where.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?usp=sharing

[shut pasture]

I would assume so.

[wary star]

Does anyone know if 31:9 ratio would work on this game?

[long prawn]

it supports 21:9 if thats what you mean

[wary star]

I know that, but what about 31:9

im sorry 32:9

[shut pasture]

No, multiple of the same pack do not stack on the same account.

[boreal oyster]

32:9 exists.
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0jSxvjT6Ec0/maxresdefault.jpg

[verbal finch]

Howdy, I have trouble understanding the servers for launch. So if I join a US West server Mari, does that mean character names and characters are unique to Mari or is shared for all US West servers?

[long prawn]

oh i thought you mistyped 21:9

[wary star]

my mistake i meant 32:9

So 32:9 would work? without black bars or anything?

[long prawn]

well the biggest aspect ratio I saw on the RU servers was 21:9

[shut pasture]

The gold pack gives the Northern Lawmaker skin, not the Platinum Founder's Skins.

[maiden locust]

all us west

[misty tree]

All us west servers

[boreal oyster]

no idea, but imagine if 32:9 gave even more of an advantage over 21:9

[verbal finch]

thanks for the confirmation!

[long prawn]

32:9 would be so huge, basically the whole arena in pvp if allowed

[shut pasture]

I don't think it would do that.

[thick wedge]

does pvp rating pertain to a single character, or is pvp rating the same across one account

[maiden locust]

server wide

[long prawn]

the same across that server

[thick wedge]

thanks

[shut pasture]

Nope.

[maiden locust]

on 1 account no, on different accounts yes

[wary star]

looks like 32:9 isnt supported

for anyone curious

[sharp bear]

that what i was saying earlier

[drowsy anchor]

Is there any resource that'll help me pick a server? (Basic info like if it's PvP server/PvE / possible economy )

[sharp bear]

go Azena then you are good

[summer gyro]

#amazon-announcements has a forum post with that info

[drowsy anchor]

Yeah was planning on it, was just curious to see if there was an equally popular server

[drowsy anchor]

Thanks

[sharp bear]

azena is popular follow up with una and regulus i think

[boreal oyster]

So wait can you queue up with people from other servers intentionally? or is it just match-make only? or what?

[summer gyro]

both, for pve stuff i think

[boreal oyster]

so you have to group them? but how do you invite them if you cant friends list cross-region?

[drowsy anchor]

Is it true auctionhouse and whatnot is also cross server?

[sharp bear]

only cross server, cant cross region

[sharp bear]

cross region

[summer gyro]

you make a group, and they can join it through the group menu, kinda like party finder in wow. and yeah just cross server

[summer gyro]

yes its cross server, not cross region

[drowsy anchor]

Still good then

[sharp bear]

NA west have their own AH while NA east have theirs

[maiden locust]

How many channels are in a server?
How many people a channel can have?

[drowsy anchor]

I can go on azena cause I wanna do PvP and queue and do ah stuff with my friends who might go to non PvP smaller server

[summer gyro]

channels are dynamic as i understand it, dont know about numbers per channel

[maiden locust]

someone should know

[uncut cypress]

I was wondering if it's possible for me to make a character preset on Lost Ark RU and put that data in the correct folder whenever we do the predownload for NA on steam would it work or would the files be different? Because I def don't wanna not customize my character but I don't want my name to get snatched either so I'd have to skip character creation and just do a random one

[shut pasture]

That PvP thing is just an unofficial designation. This game is primarily a PvE game, remember that.

[summer gyro]

#picture-gallery pins has a video that might help

[shut pasture]

I think it was like 250 players per channel or something?

[uncut cypress]

thanks homie

[raw atlas]

are engravings bank shareable?

[long prawn]

engravings, cards, skills potions, affinity stats are server wide

[pulsar turtle]

Im playing on a 24' monitor (forced 21:9) and I can barely read any text (UI at 110%), now I wonder: if I were to play on a 25' ultrawide (21:9), will that problem about the text be "fixed"?

[long prawn]

yes

[maiden locust]

monitor inches dont matter

both are common

[pulsar turtle]

As long as it is an "Ultrawide" im good to go then?

[long prawn]

just play whatever you have fun with

[maiden locust]

u need 1440p for 21:9

for it to look normal anyway

[shut pasture]

The Support classes will always be in demand.

[long prawn]

yeah the reason you cant read the ui is because the black bars in the bottom and top remove like 20% of your view

[modern juniper]

Will name creation come before character creation? I want to be the first person to have Kanye as the name on the server and im curious abt how quick i have to be.

[maiden locust]

no

[modern juniper]

😸

[maiden locust]

name creation is the last thing ur gonna do

no fr it literally doesnt matter we arent pulling your leg

[long prawn]

^

[modern juniper]

Game is gonna be so big it wont matter tbh

[long prawn]

literally just play whatever you like most

[modern juniper]

But some ppl find bard's audio annoying

[long prawn]

there arent a trinity like other games

[maiden locust]

theres no tanks and healers in this game

bards and palas arent healers, they have some minor healer spells in this game

u were told wrong

pala/bard/gunlancer are all support

with pala/bard being more pure supports

while gunlancers being a dps hybrid

[shut pasture]

Bards and Paladins provide buffs that increase party damage and shields that mitigate damage, very, very minimal "healing".

And there is also no threat or aggro mechanic in this game.

[vapid sand]

Is it true most US players play on US-East? Who decided that?

[maiden locust]

yes

but both regions will be healthy i think

just us east will have alot more players

[vapid sand]

after the hype dies, will west still be healthy?

[maiden locust]

EU>Us east>Us west>SA by playerbase

[summer gyro]

we wont know until the game launches, its just the running estimate

[maiden locust]

yeah

[shut pasture]

Honestly? Most likely.

I think people are being overly dramatic

Including Stoopzz

[maiden locust]

they are and idk why

its insane the amount of misinformation about things in this game that is out there

[vapid sand]

Do a lot of players form groups with strangers for the harder raids?

[shut pasture]

I just think Stoopzz inadvertently exacerbated it. Thats all. Not intentionally, and not maliciously, he just had a concern that I would argue wasn't invalid but if it does turn out that way he may have been partly, or mostly, responsible for it because it would have scared his viewers and in turn people his viewers know and blah blah snowball effect.

[maiden locust]

just me complaining in general

[pastel oar]

anyone know if we get the epona rest bonus on fresh alts without going on them? or do we actually have to go on the character so it starts building up

[maiden locust]

yes

[maiden locust]

u dont need to go on the character

[slow rain]

how bad is the queue times in the populated servers from RU or KR if anyone has experience

[vapid sand]

never heard of stoopz, do they have a large following lol

[shut pasture]

Not much to worry about. Also I shouldn't be talking about it here anyway. So moving back to questions.

[maiden locust]

rn? no queue time on those regions

[shut pasture]

RU doesn't have any queue, also KR has a settled population so no queue issues

[maiden locust]

unless u mean at launch, at launch ru dno but korea had like 16h queue time

[pastel oar]

source?

[slow rain]

o.o

[maiden locust]

err i can find one, but my source is playing the game lol

[pastel oar]

ill trust you on this one

[maiden locust]

did the 16h scare you

[radiant ether]

How do strongholds work btw? Is there a certain level I need to achieve to start making potions and stuff?

[maiden locust]

u can start making poitons immedietly, the tutorial even has you make potions

[radiant ether]

Sorry I should've been more specific, I meant like for endgame content and what not.

[slow rain]

my friends want to play on azena but like i feel like we're just casuals so there wont be a reason to be in azena with possible queue

definitely not if theres 16 hr queue at lauinch

[maiden locust]

there wont be a 16h queue at launch

that was just kr version 3 years ago

at most its gonna be like 10h on azena/kadan AND THATS A SUPER DUPER ULTRA STRECH

[pastel oar]

bro cbt had ques xd.

[maiden locust]

im aware

[thick wedge]

how often is pvp (classes) balanced/rebalanced? I read somewehere that it was once a month

but I might be remembering incorrectly

[mortal wren]

How do you acquire class gems?

[umbral hazel]

How do you guys think the servers gonna be at headstart launch?

[gaunt aurora]

all gems are class gems? do you mean class engravings or just gems?

[gaunt aurora]

it's a mmo, they're gonna be shit, like every mmo launch, how shit? who knows, maybe it'll be not too shit, or very shit, but it's all various degrees of shit

[umbral hazel]

yea I know it gonna be shit

[mortal wren]

Like the gems you can change the stats on...I'm still lost on how to get those

[gaunt aurora]

that's still not very clear, gems are specifically one thing, and you don't change the stats on them, they come with stats to certain skills only, either dmg or cooldown, and you combine them into higher tier gems for more of these stats. You get them from chaos dungeons in T2 and T3 mainly and also boss rush

[mortal wren]

Yea sorry for the unclear explanation I know its rng based for the ones I'm referring to. I need to figure out what they're called...

[gaunt aurora]

yes but it's a paid ticket, not like say BDO where you can change your appearance for free for 14days or whatever it was

[mortal wren]

Oh Its the ability stones <o>

[gaunt aurora]

you get them from a ton of content, guardians, chaos dungeon, abyss dungeon, there's also some weekly capped vendor that sells them for a small amount of pirate coins

[pseudo geode]

what are the most "unga bunga" classes at launch other then berserker

[mortal wren]

Thanks for the info that's a big help

[gaunt aurora]

note that you don't change the stats on ability stones, they come with a specific set of engravings, then you carve them to try to get as many points in these engravings as possible but it's RNG

and if you fail, all you can do is dismantle them for powder to buy more random stones

but that's also why they're very common

[mortal wren]

Do you have to buy them or can you just get drops?

[gaunt aurora]

as I mentionned they drop from all these sources

[mortal wren]

Ok cool I'll be grinding a ton of those at end game then

[gaunt aurora]

you can also buy some too, you can even buy them on the AH too(but you still have to carve them)

[hearty rune]

does your virtue stats stack per character?

[long prawn]

it is server wide

[hearty rune]

ty

[long prawn]

if thats what you want to know

[misty kestrel]

Will new guilds be able to accept members day 1?

[sharp bear]

gold version for whole mage class. plat version is individual advanced class (it have gold version box in plat pack along with founder skin too)

[sharp bear]

should be after they reach certain lvl during leveling to be able to join. i recalled need to be specific lvl to unlock guild feature to create it/join/etc

[radiant ether]

guys what is that thing on ur estate that you can upgrade to where it costs less materials to upgrade?

[obtuse nexus]

what level do you unlock sailing?

[distant plover]

Anyone know of an estimated server population poll being somewhere? I've seen it done for other games like when New World was releasing. Just curious what US-West server to go for. 👀

[marble sable]

#lost-ark-discussions message

[high lance]

Dunno if there is a poll but the directory here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?pru=AAABfsUYCCg has a majority of guilds being made in valtan, good amount in mari, and not a lot in the third server

[radiant ether]

Anyone know what the thing to upgrade in your stronghold that whenever you upgrade it, it costs less materials? I saw it in a video once and I cant remember what it was.

[high lance]

Costs less materials for what?

[slate zephyr]

should note this announcement too: #announcements message
that doc is still just a small number of actual overall possible players

[distant plover]

Oh perfect! Thank you, I appreciate the quick responses. @marble sable @high lance

[slate zephyr]

it's just one of the researches, it would be under the less resources research category.

[radiant ether]

Okay thanks!

[brisk junco]

why the boss in raid dont have health bar ?

[summer gyro]

guardian raid bosses dont, usually if they dont have a health bar its by design

[brisk junco]

but u can kill it rigght?

[long prawn]

Yes, it is like monster hunter you see the dmg you do but no health bar

[slate zephyr]

bound to the subclasses that opens the package, not sure if the northern skin is bound to subclasses or not though

[weak junco]

Is there a reason all of my activated portals went dark right when I started my Awakening quest?

literally every single one is no longer activated

[sly moss]

are you trying to teleport from region to region

you have to be on the continent to use the teleporter there

[weak junco]

ah, gotcha

I legit never noticed before lol

[sly moss]

lel

[potent shoal]

does anyone know how long a penalty lasts for leaving the guardian raids?

[slate zephyr]

10min

go take a break

[potent shoal]

thank yew

[umbral hazel]

Is there an unofficial list on which server gonna be what?

Like how kadan gonna be "the pvp" server

[slate zephyr]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?pru=AAABfsUYCCg

[umbral hazel]

thanks!

May I ask what the roster size mean?

like, is it the known amount of player people who gonna pick that server or?

[slate zephyr]

possible guild/community size they are I think

[umbral hazel]

oh

missread the list lol

[slate zephyr]

@verbal valley ?

[obsidian snow]

hi all, im super ultra giga torn on getting the artillerist founder skin vs. the bard one

[cursive urchin]

Is Infinite Chaos Dungeon an option we choose in the interface? Or thats just a term used when we spam the Chaos Dungeon at our current ilvl?

[slate zephyr]

sorry you're kinda not in the right channel for this, #lost-ark-discussions

[slate zephyr]

not a option, built in.

[quiet ore]

Hello. Do we know how finding a party works? Is it limited to playing with people on the same server or is it locked to the players on the same region ?

[slate zephyr]

cross-server, not cross region, check the pin for more info.

[cursive urchin]

So it basically just means running the same Chaos Dungeon at the highest we can do over and over right

[quiet ore]

Oh, thanks, I missed that one

[slate zephyr]

yeah(or w/e ones you unlocked), but note only the first 2 times at each day gives normal mats, afterwards it's drops trade-in tokens.

[cursive urchin]

Ah kk, yeah was gonna farm the trade-in tokens

tyty

[slate zephyr]

best optimal way is still to have alts.

[turbid barn]

How many runs estimated to get enough tokens for 20 books?

[median dew]

What is legends of lost ark

[summer gyro]

twitch drop event happening tomorrow i think

[vast copper]

heres what you can get from it

https://lostarkive.com/news/legends-of-the-lost-ark-event-full-details/

[slate zephyr]

need 3k tokens, and it's about 90-150 per run, a bit more with rest bonus. Also they are account bound not char. bound, so can do them on any chars.

[delicate meteor]

What books are those?

[turbid barn]

Thanks

[turbid barn]

So do we just view one of the streamer's channel and then we'll auto get the reward?

[delicate meteor]

Make sure your steam and twitch are linked

[turbid barn]

Okay thanks I'll look up how to do that. And the Amazon drop is a code or need to link account also?

[delicate meteor]

You just watch a stream

and it should be automatically delivered, afaik

[turbid barn]

I meant the Amazon prime rewards.

Or is this the same thing

[delicate meteor]

It's not, you don't need prime for twitch drops

[turbid barn]

Are the NA or EU streamers bigger?

[zinc nexus]

General dumb question. On the KR version currently, is there anyway to buy better RNG when crafting and stuff?

[delicate meteor]

Depends, some streamers are starting to pick up lost ark just recently.

Yes

[delicate meteor]

For upgrades there is a consumable, at least in RU.

It might be event item, though.

[slate zephyr]

crafting gear is 100%, no fail chance, upgrading has boost chance items, can get them for free from events or drops from endgame etc., or yeah swipe.

[iron orbit]

For engraving books, what should I be prioritizing? Class specific or normal ones like grudge?

[slate zephyr]

depends if you're DPS or Support.

[zinc nexus]

I guess we will find out if swiping comes to NA. Not really a big deal since that is just rushing you through pve content.

[iron orbit]

DPS in this case

[slate zephyr]

It should still be there for AGS server to swipe T1/T2 upgrade chances are not bad enough to even need those, it's mainly for T3, even if T1/T2 versions of those exists.

[delicate meteor]

Not a big deal but still good enough for people to scream "PEY TOO WEEN"

[slate zephyr]

Since this is a launch of a fresh regional server, there won't be a market already there to get lvl 3 grudge, so for AGS server case, "no" on getting it first.
work on class and other stuff.

Unless you like suffering

[rain meadow]

how do you uhh... get the mokoko outfit?

[long prawn]

Events

[rain meadow]

oh so it's not available all the time huh

thanks xD

[long prawn]

You get it in the event and then you have it forever

It is like a chest and you can chose from a selection of colors afaik

[boreal compass]

What classes are the go to farming classes when you first start. Im thinking of going gun blade but im affraid a tanks damage might be a bit slow

[delicate meteor]

GUNBLADE IS NOT A TANK

it's DPS like the rest

[boreal compass]

Why doea everyone keep calling it a tank then? 😞

[delicate meteor]

because people are stupid

[cedar wharf]

Because very few ppl actually know what they are talking about

[delicate meteor]

shield =/= tank

They see shield they assume it's a tank

The only unique thing about him, is that he has a taunt and HUGE self shields.

[cedar wharf]

Reddit Andys

[long prawn]

There are 2 types of classes supports and dps

[cedar wharf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6LJaPOw0nY

[boreal compass]

Okay then ill rephrase. What classes are the go to early game farmers? And ah ok that makes sense

[long prawn]

The one you like the most

[delicate meteor]

Every class

[boreal compass]

Dont certain classes need higher end gear to shine?

[delicate meteor]

The only exception to supports, is that you need a skill set for solo content (with dps abilities)

[long prawn]

All classes are viable

[delicate meteor]

solo content is not based on that

Solo content is made accessible to everyone. Think of solo content as any other RPG where you are killing weak monsters.

[boreal compass]

Oh ok. Gotcha

[delicate meteor]

Your gear comes into play when you are doing group content, and you want to kill boss not in 10mins but in 1min

You also need gear to drive a bus.

There are special cases, when certain 'playstyle' requires certain gear.

[cedar wharf]

At the most basic level you need gear to access the content anyway

[dawn pebble]

Hello, i read through some logs that state that you can try each subclass at level 30(?) but it doesn't do a proper showcase of that class. Is this true? and if so, where is the best place to get a better understanding of each one? Thanks.

[cedar wharf]

You can try a class after 30 in Trixion with engravings and all.

[delicate meteor]

You can try each subclass during character creation, to a limited extent.

[dawn pebble]

So at 30 it's an accurate representation of the class?

[delicate meteor]

Best place to understand a subclass is to play one at 50 through end game content

[cedar wharf]

The most accurate you will get before reaching high lvl content

You won’t have set bonuses

Your only other option is to actually get the class to that high level but which game lets you just try endgame geared classes 3-4h into playing the game

[kindred token]

30 is accurate

Until you see 1445 sets

[dawn pebble]

I see i see ty

[kindred token]

But ye 1445 some class enable new build, or solve their problem with certain things.

Lv 30 trixion will give you a proper picture how classes perform before 1445

[terse trench]

is there any scaling system to allow me to do guardian raids and stuff with my friends when they are a lot lower geared then me? im gonna be playing a lot and probably gonna get ahead of them

[kindred token]

You can do it with them

Carrying is a service in this gsme

But there no down scaling if you are overgeared

[shrewd vault]

Is there any contact thats locked behind a timegate? Ie can only be done at certain times of the day?

[kindred token]

There is challenge guardian which is weekly they will equalize everything except engraving

[kindred token]

Wdym

[shrewd vault]

as in you can only do bosses or dungeons between a set time of the day

[misty tree]

Yep theres a few stuff

[kindred token]

World boss and chaos gate is every hours

The only boss you might miss out on is adventure islands bosses if you choose the boss adventure island. But then again interval is 9 11 13 19 21 23

[shrewd vault]

ok so if im EU wanting to play on NA (because of friends) I shouldnt have much issue with attending content like dungeons, bosses etc?

[kindred token]

If you cant play the game at all during that time then it ok those thing not like you missing anything

Well fyi you can play this game without attending a single time gate thing

You might be less optimize but you can still do end game stuff equally to everyone else

[shrewd vault]

ok perfect, thats good to know

[kindred token]

Dungeons and bosses again if it time gate it extras content

The main content you can do it at night if you have 8 persons

Whenever you can

[shrewd vault]

Perfect, thank you for the info

[kindred token]

This game strike hard with fomo on all the time gate stuff but non of it is mandatoey

It good since it give you extras and help you progress in some way of form

But it NEVER.if you dont do it you stuck

And let be honest if something happen every hour and you cant attend it

Ye.......

[cedar wharf]

Adventure island also, some other islands, sea voyage, ghost ship

[shrewd vault]

Yeah hourly stuff isnt an issue and if most things can be done multiple times a day thats great. With me being EU wanting to play on NA timezone, I can stay up decently late but not until early hours of the morning so im trying to judge what id miss out on and if what im missing will have much impact thats all

[kindred token]

Nothing you will miss if you play 4 hrs a day

6

9 11 13 19 21 23

Weekend you have 2 island 1 morning 1 evening

[cedar wharf]

Wow why did I think 3

[kindred token]

It was 3

You werent wrong

It was 3 for until like 6 months ago

[shrewd vault]

Thats really good to know. Thanks again for the info guys, helped alot!

[cedar wharf]

So many QoL updates

[kindred token]

Ye the fact that chaos gate world boss ,ghost ship is hourly after 11 oclock

[cedar wharf]

[kindred token]

I still not happy with adventure island time tbh

I understand their reasons

But i am not happy about it

Cuz they want a lot of people to attend it so island doesnt feel dead(long time to finish)

But now i found out server time is same time zone as mine so it gucci

[kindred token]

And ye even if you miss dont beat yourself over it it a game and well it a marathon too eventually you will do everythings

[strong vigil]

Hey Im sure this has been answers but the founder pack exclusive outfit we get. Can we swap it between characters in the same class type you open it on? aka can I use it on sorc and my bard or did they say itll be character bound?

[maiden locust]

Hey guys, I have question I got template customization for fighter male, I would like to use it for berserk. Is there any chance to do it or it is impossible?

[trim void]

The Northern lawmaker avatar yes you would but you won't be able to transfer the weapon skin

[kindred token]

Impossible they share different face and model

Even hairstyles

You can try to custom yourself that about it

[maiden locust]

Oh thats bad news for me

[strong vigil]

sickkk, ok thats good to know. ty

[kindred token]

Between the SAME class only

You cant use on a female mage and share to a male hunter

[strong vigil]

but I can move it from Sorc to Bard to Arcana, etc right?

[kindred token]

Yes

Nothern yes

[strong vigil]

ok cool, tyty

[dusk jacinth]

Does 21:9 force tax your computer more?

[delicate meteor]

It does (edit: should be 40% better performance)

[atomic gulch]

Did you test it?

[delicate meteor]

It's how GPU rendering works

with 21:9 you have more objects to render

[atomic gulch]

but asks for less pixel to render

[delicate meteor]

whats the resolution you get with forced 21:9?

[atomic gulch]

1920x820

roughly

so 30% less pixel if I count right

[buoyant kraken]

Hello, what exactly does my server selection affect? is there some kind cross serve play / matchamking?

[delicate meteor]

comes out to 40% roughly

[delicate meteor]

All instanced content is cross server, your server selection affects gvg and premades

[buoyant kraken]

so nothing for me, cool, ty 🙂

[delicate meteor]

You can't make a premade cross server, but you can use 'group finder' to do content with people cross server (pseudo premade)

how do i get DE’s 2nd ult with the sniper rifle. i only have the first one with the bombs

[kindred token]

Do 2nd awakening quest should take around 5-10hrs

[carmine thistle]

How you can gear a character that you boosted to lvl 50?

[faint pagoda]

gets basic gear

[carmine thistle]

it gets basic gear when you finish boosting it?

[idle zinc]

any requirements for it because i don’t see it

[faint pagoda]

[carmine thistle]

[lucid grove]

Which classes have the most buttons? Lance master,gunslinger,deadeye?

[long prawn]

Gunslinger and deadeye have 16 abilities plus awakening so 17, but you still only have like 8 ability buttons

[raw atlas]

Is there a video or a guide showing how one copy paste a character creation preset?

[long prawn]

Wait not deadeye

Unless deadeye is the male gunslinger

[umbral hazel]

Aside from kadan, is there a second major english server that people gonna choose?

[delicate meteor]

The guide I have says you get it in mail, idk

[idle zinc]

weird

[hazy reef]

I'm confused on the yellow side quests, some people say to do them since they are along the way and others say it's safe to ignore and do on alts? Are we guaranteed 50 by skipping every single yellow quest?

[long prawn]

You get 50 just by doing main story

[delicate meteor]

You just click save, go to folder and take the file, then copy it into the english release directory. If you are using other region client, you need to change region in the .cus file

[faint pagoda]

Lost Ark Beta Playtest\EFGame\Customizing

i’ve seen in some streams that some big streamers are going to go on azena

[delicate meteor]

Not true, my lost ark folder is now named lost ark live, in steam directory

[faint pagoda]

well mine isnt

[delicate meteor]

https://papunika.com/beginner-guide/#how-to-get-my-awakening found a more detailed guide

[umbral hazel]

that be the NA server, is there one for EU?

[faint pagoda]

dont go kadan

[delicate meteor]

there aren't that many streamers from EU, I only know of Sywo

[umbral hazel]

trying to find a alternative

[delicate meteor]

people migrating to sinnervale, last I heard

[spiral thistle]

There are lots and lots of EU streamers

[carmine thistle]

cuz' of the queues?

[umbral hazel]

^ probably

[faint pagoda]

is gonna be full af

[paper wind]

when does arcana feel nice to play? i heard arcana was a fun class. however, i'm playing her in the beginning, her attacks hitbox seems low and hard to hit enemy

[delicate meteor]

Try to keep to this channels topic, you can have discussions in #lost-ark-discussions

[delicate meteor]

They are reworking arkana in KR

[spiral thistle]

Not a single class is fun pre-50 in comparison to post-50

[delicate meteor]

Deathblade is fun from level 1

[wicked aurora]

So if i understand correctly, the servers are not for the specific languages that were appearing in that screenshot

[umbral hazel]

you mean the reddit one?

[wicked aurora]

yes, or what is that announcement from today

[umbral hazel]

this is unofficial and just a bunch of community guild who decided on X server

[wicked aurora]

huh ok

[spiral thistle]

Also that image is outdated. They made a new one.

[umbral hazel]

there also this google sheet if you wanna manually check

[umbral hazel]

https://i.redd.it/qqjkwadu8jf81.png

[sly moss]

i still don't get the dude putting CN flag there but put OCE/SEA at the note part

[slate zephyr]

finish 1st awakening and finished Rohendel, to start the 2nd awakening quest.

[idle zinc]

thanks

[dusk jacinth]

Wait so you get more performance if you force 21:9 as opposed to default? Or lose? @_@

[delicate meteor]

You should gain, but visual quality deteriorates

[dusk jacinth]

👀

Well I guess everyone needs that in pvp right?

[delicate meteor]

Not really needed.

[dusk jacinth]

I heard ppl say you're trolling if you dont cause you cant see as much as others then

[delicate meteor]

People are spouting bs, my eye sight is more important.

[long prawn]

It will help but if you suck you suck

[spiral thistle]

You'd see a bit less than others that doesn't mean it make or break pvp experience

[dusk jacinth]

🤔

I see

[real marten]

Will name restrictions be the same on na as they are on ru/kr

[spiral thistle]

No

Amazon has much worse restrictions as detailed on their website

[real marten]

In terms of banned names moreso

Not the style of names

[delicate meteor]

Here is visual explanation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGvFIZnIslQ

[spiral thistle]

Impossible to know what their hidden banned stuff are but considering how much they filtered in chat its probably horrendous

[dusk jacinth]

Thanku ❤️

[real marten]

Damn one of the names I tried on ru was filtered so I was wondering if na would carry the same banned names

[delicate meteor]

What did you try

[acoustic hearth]

What content isn't cross-server?

[delicate meteor]

open world stuff

[real marten]

I'll give the name another try on launch maybe it'll go through

If I miss I'll be sad though

[slate zephyr]

check pin

[delicate meteor]

It can go through and later be forced to change

[real marten]

Are we gonna get arena premade cross servers?

[fallow hazel]

Hey everyone! Other than your natural mana regen and Bard buff, there's other ways to fix your mana problem for mana hungry classes?

[spiral thistle]

Food and Judgement/Conviction rune combo

[slate zephyr]

not for AGS launch, it's in KR only atm.

[umbral hazel]

Do we at least know if its on the roadmap?

Or anything like that

[slate zephyr]

will come shortly after launch

[quiet ore]

Hi there. Do we know anything about upcoming gender options for classes? For example I'd love to play a male summoner or shadowhunter but those are not in the game. Have they said they intend to make all classes available for both genders or something along those lines ?

[fallow hazel]

Need to check the source of those runes then.. any fav food for that?

[spiral thistle]

In due time but it's going to take a long time. Male summoner might be after female Zerk

[slate zephyr]

they have to make them first, so far next one is Female Berserker, then maybe after that is a Male mage.

[quiet ore]

Ok, cool, so they did say they intend to put them in at some point. Thanks !

[spiral thistle]

Just anyone with mana regen

[fallow hazel]

K thnx! I'l try to get those runes first on EU then

[spiral thistle]

Getting Judgement takes forever

[maiden locust]

can u use (eg) Artist Dance with other classes?

[elfin condor]

That would be blasphemy

[slate zephyr]

the dance emote?

[maiden locust]

aw damn man, I wanted to see my Scrapper doin those moves

yess the dance emote

[slate zephyr]

each archetype and opposite gender archetype has their own dance animations.

[maiden locust]

F. Thanks ☔

[fallow hazel]

Ealyn is hard to raise? Damn

Guess i'll keep my gifts for her

[humble pagoda]

Question:
can you take an "Odd" number of people with you into dungeons.
basically I'm asking if I can join instances with just a friend or is it only
SOLO or full party?

[kindred token]

Dungeon is 4 /8man only

[humble pagoda]

So basically, Solo or 4 person, without any variance

[atomic gulch]

no, 2 person can go in or 3

[kindred token]

2 3 person are story dungeon i dont count it as anything cuz it irrelevant tutorial

[subtle steeple]

i don't see why you could not queue in with 2 or 3 ppl, should wrk fine

[atomic gulch]

R we ralking about leveling "dungeons" or dungeon dungeons?

there are many type of "dungeons"

[mellow barn]

Chaos Dungeon/Guardian Raids 1 up to 4 players, as many as you want.
Other Content 4/8 man full.

[carmine thistle]

Are there any limitations for them? Or you can spam them as much as you want?

[mellow barn]

2 times a day for good rewards. Anything beyond that nets barely anything.

[humble pagoda]

just leveling dungeons, well the tldr
is I'll stick as a solo player, if there isn't an option to just go with my bf
I'm fed up with toxicity from other MMO's so I'm done with "matched content" period.
(I don't deal well with other peoples anger and blame throwing, and after leaving savage raiding, I'm simply ... done )

[spiral thistle]

Hard? No. Need a lot? Yes. Just don't use all items when you get them instantly on her as you know exact points needed so calculate is my tip.

[vestal cargo]

When you leave a guild is there a timer before you can join another one ?

[humble pagoda]

So I was simply asking if leveling content can be done with an odd number of people, I'm not talking about endgame stuff ( not going to touch that )

[atomic gulch]

during leveling there are smaller story dungeons where u go alone, but there are dungeons where you can go alone, or with friend or with machmaking party

[delicate meteor]

sadly you need full party of 4 or 8 to enter end game instance

[humble pagoda]

So translation, solo all content it is

[mellow barn]

Leveling can be done with as many people as you like besides certain instances that are solo.

[humble pagoda]

Just hoped leveling dungeons could atleast be done

[delicate meteor]

dungeons are like 5% of leveling, you go solo to make it faster, you also need full party to do it non solo

[mellow barn]

No, you can party up and enter

you do not need to be full 4 man for story dungeons

[delicate meteor]

I see.

[vestal cargo]

Or u can take it easy and enjoy doing hard difficulties woth 3 other dum dums ;)

[mellow barn]

Would not recommend doing hardmode dungeons while leveling

[delicate meteor]

Hard is too easy solo, unless it scales?

[mellow barn]

Don't do hardmode, rewards are irrelevant and you will just take more time for no reason

[humble pagoda]

Huh, Doing hardmode solo right now, I've not found any issue between lvl 20-40 ( just leveling dungeons )

[delicate meteor]

Not talking about relevance, rather the challenge.

[mellow barn]

There's no challenge in leveling content

[kindred token]

hard mode in story dunngeon is waste of time that about it

[mellow barn]

it's levelling content

[delicate meteor]

That's what I said

[vestal cargo]

@mellow barn thanks for the classes in a nutshell series, helped me out and many of my friends :)

Alright ill skip the hard mode

[mellow barn]

You're very welcome :)

[atomic gulch]

But if you like, you can, you do what you want 🙂

[muted chasm]

yeah if ur not really rushing the game and want to do hard mode it is up to you

but in terms of rushing it is not time efficient

[delicate meteor]

Hard mode for story dungeons is not hard enough for a challenge, so just do normal.

[mellow barn]

There's enough challenging content once you reach level 50

[atomic gulch]

Not everyone is prau

[mellow barn]

I really do not advice to do hardmode leveling dungeons, the mobs just have a bit more hp and do a bit more damage

[humble pagoda]

Oh I have no plans for endgame.
I plan on bumble around with all the horizontal progression content in the game, the fruit / stuff, I've done enough game at "endgame" and honestly you grow tired of the elitism and people demanding min maxing to stupid degrees, while they keep standing in dumb themselves

[humble pagoda]

I've found the droprates for the bosses at HM is consistently purple, so not complaining and only takes a few minutes extra to do

[delicate meteor]

Yes, horizontal progression is a great addition.

[mellow barn]

You will replace that purple gear 2 levels later basically

so that's no argument to do them. If you want to do cause you want to - go ahead. I'm merely saying it's neither really a challenge nor good in terms of useful rewards

[chrome orchid]

I can't decide between sorc, soulfist and scrapper. Which is easy but effective in the hardest content? Do they have required positionals? I'll probably level at least 2 of the 3 but not sure which to really play

[humble pagoda]

I believe the answer is the class you feel most comfortable playing 🙂

it's the same argument in other MMO's yes SAM is top tier in FFXIV, but I can't play it for my life, and usually OutDPS all SAM's I see playing anyway

[chrome orchid]

I only really played soulfist in beta. I kinda wanted insight into what is good for progressing hard raids

[muted chasm]

not sure abotu scrapper but soulfist you have to be on point with almost everything and sorc is squishy so you cant unga bunga

[humble pagoda]

just because a class is statistically the best, if you're not compatible with it, it becomes moot 😄

[mellow barn]

Scrapper +Soulfist are backattackers. Sorceress isn't! All viable at endgame

[humble pagoda]

first time I'm hearing that I've had everyone tell me to try out Sorcerer instead of Demonhunter

[mellow barn]

I'm sorry, I don't understand?

[broken trellis]

? he is just saying Scrapper and Soul have positional attacks

[humble pagoda]

That sorcerer isn't viable in endgame, I've had everyone and their grandma tell me to ditch the Demonhunter
for sorcerer because it's "stronger"

[muted chasm]

hes saying sorc aint a backattacker. and they are all viable at endgame

[humble pagoda]

Ohhhh I read it as "aren't" viable

[muted chasm]

the wording was just kinda tricky but ye

[mellow barn]

Ingition Sorc might be a little bit stronger at endgame but not to a stretch where it matters

[atomic gulch]

I'm also afraid of mele classes because of this back attack thing

[mellow barn]

Shadowhunters have cleared all content just like any other class

[delicate meteor]

There are melee that don't rely on back attacks, like gunlancer.

[muted chasm]

so for us filthy casuals it is better to use reflux than ignition i guess?

[chrome orchid]

Yeah back attack is really what makes me worried. What is the damage penalty for not using skills at the back?

[mellow barn]

Head-Attack :)

[humble pagoda]

Yeh it's what I was hearing everywhere that every class is viable, hence by that logic I find it's better to pick a class you're comfortable on playstyle wise xD

[mellow barn]

Reflux is much chiller to play indeed

[delicate meteor]

Huge, there are engravings that give 30% damage to back attacks.

[broken trellis]

once you get your ingravings it can be a pretty big lose,

[delicate meteor]

If you play back attack relying sub class and don't back attack, your performance is worse than supports.

[mellow barn]

Most Melees rely on back attacks. Some that dont:
Shadowhunter (transform)
Berserker (has a few but doesnt really rely on them)
Gunlance Front
There's one Scrapper build apparently that doesnt rely on backattacks, but I dont know enough about it.
Soulfist, while it is backattack oriented, mostly focuses on their ultimate/awakening damage.

[long prawn]

it is like imagine playing a fps game and not headshoting

[chrome orchid]

Yikes, sounds like sorc is a good start for me then to learn, maybe once I'm experienced with content I can try a back attacker, or maybe hammer will release and I can play that

[atomic gulch]

So I can dps as support, YESS 😄

[delicate meteor]

No, even worse. It's like playing FPS and spraying without ever aiming.

[delicate meteor]

There is no such support that afk's and doesn't attack boss.

[humble pagoda]

Ayy lucky me, plans on making a transform focused build is still on track then xD

[mellow barn]

Have fun tickling the boss!

[delicate meteor]

Sorc is deceptively tricky to play, since you have to hardcast abilities. But it's a bit different than having the need to track boss positioning.

[tardy pollen]

is there some hidden mmr system in arena? I'm legit always losing more points than gaining even at positive win rate

[delicate meteor]

It's not hidden?

[tardy pollen]

ok mb, hidden point scaling or w/e

[mellow barn]

Ofc there is

just like in every other game

[chrome orchid]

Positioning is something I'm typically good at in most games, but having to adhere my positioning to an erratic target is sometimes just a little too much for me haha

[tardy pollen]

But why does it work the other way around xd

[long prawn]

every elo based system has it

[delicate meteor]

That is part of the challenge in Lost Ark combat 🙂

[humble pagoda]

lack of WASD positioning is my biggest handicap in this game xD

[tardy pollen]

aren't u supposed to be gaining more than losing when ur winning more often?

[long prawn]

[mellow barn]

You're probably better asking this in the PVP channel

they have more knowledge about the system

[tardy pollen]

[maiden locust]

Which are the highest dps classes

[chrome orchid]

Eh, I've played enough isometric games to be pretty good with mouse oriented movement

[mellow barn]

all but Paladin and Bard

[humble pagoda]

Yep, I've not xD
I've not played an isometric game since like OG diablo 2 ;D

[maiden locust]

Hows soulfist in pvm

Is it high dps?

[mellow barn]

Like I said

All Classes are fine

[tardy pollen]

if u have correct build every dps will be doing good dmg

[maiden locust]

Bro thats not answering my question no offense

[mellow barn]

Bro this is not WoW where one spec is shit

[maiden locust]

Like which are the top 3-4 dps classes

[tardy pollen]

a lot of it is just skill based

[maiden locust]

I see

[long prawn]

not even skill based, it is gear based too

[humble pagoda]

Let me translate what FOX is saying.

All classes are balanced to a point where if you play it right
the best player of one class will have such a small difference in dps between best of another class, it's not worth rerolling for

[half carbon]

"there is no top" dps classes, you won't find yourself playing a class because dps

[tardy pollen]

well yeah just saying if u have the correct build already

[half carbon]

mostly skill based arti

[tardy pollen]

Comparing same class on same gear etc

[maiden locust]

I zeee

@mellow barn my bad mine bro

[delicate meteor]

There is no DPS meter so you have no reliable metric to judge performance.

[half carbon]

just learn the class and style you think you like and play it xd

[mellow barn]

IT's fine, I understand other MMOs can't balance properly so the fear of playing low dps class is understandable

[half carbon]

maybe bard or paladin

[maiden locust]

Yeah the only mmo i played was like that super skewed

[half carbon]

are the "lowest" dps since some are based on buffing and tanking

[delicate meteor]

That is the only rule, supporters do no play as DPS

[chrome orchid]

Haha it's mostly wow that is the biggest culprit

[mellow barn]

XIV still cant balance properly either

[humble pagoda]

basically DPS differece between players will mainly be
Build/their ability to play said build and gear.
Not the class ( but instead individual player skill )

[humble pagoda]

XIV does a decent enough job, I've never felt the need to hard swap off a class to get through savages

[mellow barn]

Unless you main Paladin this expansion

or Machinist, ever.

[humble pagoda]

That's WAR being COMPLETELY broken xD

[half carbon]

been maining paladin in wow for years, not touching paladin in lost ark tho

[chrome orchid]

I didn't play the new expansion but I think xiv balance is way better than wow

[humble pagoda]

I'm a main support, how do you think I feel ( cries )

[delicate meteor]

Please keep to channels topic

[half carbon]

it's topic enough come on

[humble pagoda]

Oh do we have any ETA on potential class releases, I accidentally fell in love with the Arcana before I realized it wasn't in EU, I had only noted we wouldn't get summonor but got sorc instead

<_< I'm regretting my life choices

[long prawn]

nothing yet

[old plaza]

is permanent madness gonna be available on launch?

[delicate meteor]

Arcana is in the bin for rework, which isn't on the road map, yet.

[chrome orchid]

Same thing happened to me but with hammer, I'm sad it's not out with release. I wanted to home run bat bosses

[delicate meteor]

Wait for patch notes.

[humble pagoda]

Yeah the "class skill" felt a bit underwhelming
but I enjoyed the rest of the kit

[mellow barn]

Probably yes.

[humble pagoda]

Yeah, my bf fell in love with Scouter, same story there T_T

[frozen storm]

does anyone know if queues will be from server selection to character menu or from character menu to ingame?

[misty tree]

Server

[chrome orchid]

I feel like artillerist is actually just a tankier sorc with a gun, is that mostly accurate? It seems more forgiving

[mellow barn]

If there are any, they should be where you chose your server

[mellow barn]

You got it, that's pretty accurate.

There's a few more differences but that's a good tldr

[frozen storm]

so in theory I can safely log off a character into another without having to face another queue

[mellow barn]

yeah, as long as you are logged into your server that should be no problem.

[long prawn]

there is a quick char switch function in game

[humble pagoda]

I swear lost ark is the first MMO to make me willingly roll alts outside sub classes in FFXIV, count me impressed, even wow I refused to alt ( Gw2/ etc etc as well )

O_O

[chrome orchid]

Sweet, seems like a good choice for a beginner like myself. Btw, your content is great, I'm a big fan!

[mellow barn]

Absolutely agree, Artillerist is decent for a begginer. Only downside is a bit of delayed damage from your nukes which is a bit harder. And thank you! 😳

[humble pagoda]

So another quick, derpy question.
I think I've understood it correct that if you want all platinum skins you would ultimately need to whale 1000's of USD on multiple accounts to transfer them to your main.

and doubling down on that, you also only get 1 mount color, and like the skins would have to buy an insane amount of packs to get the rest

<_< nvm account bound

[night valley]

Does Striker require the gear optimization that Wardancer requires to get off the ground?

[elfin condor]

Pretty sure neither of them can fly

[tardy pollen]

actually if we buy plat pack can I keep it till the rest of the classes release and use it on one of them?

gs skin is dogpoop

[humble pagoda]

I think it was confirmed to only contain the current classes

[tardy pollen]

ah damn

[long prawn]

pretty sure that when those future classes come out they will sell it for a limited time, so you can just save your rc for that

[solid trail]

isn't there better ingame skins anyways

[long prawn]

there are but some people like the exclusivity of it

[elfin condor]

There will be many skins available at launch and in the future

[solid trail]

well i can see why but its way too fucking damn expensive
