ye some things due to language differences and normalcy do not translate well from East to West ie Asia to America/Europe

[red lichen]

with berserker, if you run mayhem/madness, can you still use the unique burst mode ability?

[meager birch]

yo where can i find some presets? for character creation

[frail verge]

wrong Channel

[umbral hazel]

Are there any dungeon requirement in the main story questline?

As in, are there any dungeon you have todo to move onto the next story quest (Usually mmo have that)

[spiral thistle]

Yes, multiple ones

[umbral hazel]

Orz

Can you solo it or do you need to have friends/find random?

[spiral thistle]

Solo, they are all super easy

[umbral hazel]

Great news! ty

[delicate dawn]

if i want to main bard/support, should i also have a paladin alt?

[spiral thistle]

Only if you want to play Pala too. It's cost effective because they share engravings since they are both support.

[umbral hazel]

Is engraving unlock account thing? and not char specific?

If I unlock all engraving for scrapper, can I make a alt scrapper that have access to all the engravings?

[spiral thistle]

Server wide, added to your library

[umbral hazel]

Oh wow, thats nice

[potent shoal]

are skill potions server wide?

[spiral thistle]

All improvement potions are server wide

[potent shoal]

thank yew

[delicate dawn]

do we know whether future classes will be added in the same order as other regions?

[spiral thistle]

They can't because we're not launching with same lineup as any previous region

[maiden locust]

does every server have it's separate queue time or is it region wide

[delicate dawn]

Oh I see, interesting! Thanks

[spiral thistle]

Queue is server specific

[maiden locust]

ok ty

[grave hull]

what would be the best way to follow and get all the twitch drop rewards? follow all the creators involved to get alerted and then turn on the stream and leave it in the background to get the minimum hours?

[surreal zealot]

can you play bard in solo in PvE?

[spiral thistle]

Yes. You don't do much solo beside chaos anyway

[frigid arrow]

Will Azena and Regulus servers on NAE fill up quickly before full release?

[spiral thistle]

No one can answer that

[deft owl]

we have no way to tell

[frigid arrow]

What do you think?

[delicate meteor]

bacon

[plush garnet]

i think its likely

[umbral hazel]

Azena probably gonna be abit more populated than most other servers? since its the #pvp-general hub server for NAE according to the pin

[maiden locust]

Plan for me is to see how things pan out and pick the lowest pop server cause I will not sit in a queue on god lol

[uneven bough]

does any 1 know how many ppl a server can hold ?

[umbral hazel]

more than 2k hopefully lol

[uneven bough]

lol

[spiral thistle]

No, it's undisclosed. 50k logged in at same time is KR limit

[uneven bough]

tbh that alot lol

[spiral thistle]

Yet they have queues on every server ^^

[maiden locust]

people expect 1million concurrent, maybe not enough

[spiral thistle]

Yeah but that is across 3 regions too

[uneven bough]

if they can do 50k maybe 100k ?

[languid pond]

nah best they can do is 0 /s

[uneven bough]

and after 3monsths when thing settle go bk to 50k

[spiral thistle]

With their total servers if it's 50k as in KR they support 1mil concurrent

[maiden locust]

if only server upkeep was free, they rather cut costs and have some long ques

Founderspack will still be available to buy on the 8th,9th and 10th of feb right?

[spiral thistle]

Ye

[rotund flare]

To my understanding it will be available until the official launch on the 11th, but please correct me if i'm wrong

[outer vessel]

You can buy it during headstart yup

[languid pond]

yeah

[surreal zealot]

will you be able to create character right after you download today or only tommorow?

[languid pond]

headstart not preload

[maiden locust]

on release date, today is only download

[languid pond]

ye

[maiden locust]

so I know you can stack founder packs, but does your 3, 30day crystalline aura activate at once or can I use them at any time?

[languid pond]

you can stack different founders pack and the crystaline aura is a consumable so you have to use it to use it

[maiden locust]

thanks, I wasnt sure they made the crystalline aura as a consumable item

[languid pond]

yeah at least that is what I have heard and what I was told by people who played the beta

ty

[torpid lantern]

good bot

[tawny mural]

Stupid work

[nova heart]

why does NA west have essentially only 2 servers while NA east have 7, lol

[soft robin]

Predownload is available for everyone

[vocal flame]

its later today ye

[storm terrace]

Cause east is like 2/3X bigger population than west.

But, I wonder if they factored in OC people hopping on west when they decided on 3 servers only.

[nova heart]

well I'm going to have to play on US east even though I live in US west, because I'm afraid west is either actually dead, or going to be overcrowded with only that many servers.

[rotund flare]

With more people turning to the west in terms of content creators, it is looking to be fine. You also have to keep in mind that the majority of players will not be the ones following any sort of existing creator, but people simply playing in their home region.

[sullen hawk]

anyone know what is this for?

looks like it will start a legacy quest according to this site,
https://lostarkcodex.com/uo/item/99029/
but it doesnt state the reward of the quest

[delicate meteor]

seems like you need to activate windows there bud

[nova heart]

@rotund flare if that's true then West is going to be queue time hell unless Amazon adds servers fast

[rain meadow]

they already said that they have servers on standby ready to deploy... whether or not it will help.. only time will tell

[storm terrace]

I've had a lot of internal debate myself over US West/East. I'm US West. I just decided on stay US West. I think there's too much FOMO for not being on the BIGGEST AND BEST USA server. If you got friends in the East or have specific reasons to hop over, then by all means.

[rain meadow]

plus every launch will have these problems, it's expected lol

[young condor]

What would be the more populated sub server for NA East? Does anyone have a spreadsheet or data to confirm what sub server is going to be populated or not ?

[maiden locust]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?usp=sharing&pru=AAABfvam9nE*uRENxwC2WEDMdLw6u7VPmw#
but this is 5-10% of the population at best

[rain meadow]

^yeah, just the existing community and those actively in to discord/reddit

[storm terrace]

I agree, the guild directory is a pretty good start. But you honestly won't know until things actually go live.

[marble geyser]

west won't be dead, u definitely wont need to wait in queues. the only thing I'm questioning about west is the AH. boils down to if there enough whales to satisfy my need for crystals/avatars

[rain meadow]

plus, the servers on the 8th are probably going to be okay.. but on the 11th.. good bye

[storm terrace]

I realistically suspect most populated may just be the first server on the list, lol.

[rain meadow]

^100%

or whichever server gets auto-recommended inthe beginning

[upper pumice]

does anyone remember if the server names and order were the same in the closed beta?

[maiden locust]

I heard it will be random order, cant confirm from official source tho

[wooden tinsel]

Hey guys how do you start the end game content? I hit level 50 in RU but Im not sure how you 'start' the end game content being chaos dungeons and raids

[marble geyser]

they released the server list for launch https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/launch-details

[storm terrace]

Oh, that's new then. Didn't know about that.

[upper pumice]

yea but did they also use these names for the servers during the closed beta? I can't remember

[marble geyser]

no, closed beta had like 3 servers maybe

[upper pumice]

were they named differently?

[marble geyser]

umm some of them came from the list

azena or avesta, i remember seeing one of those in closed beta

[rotund flare]

Kadan was a server in NA beta. It's currently in EU for launch.

[upper pumice]

yea looks like some names got moved around

[grave hull]

do you guys think any casual players will fall behind if they dont go for lv50 and alts from the get go?

[marble geyser]

not really

[upper pumice]

guess i'll just pick the first one server i see and hope the guys i played with do the same lol

[rotund flare]

The great rush race is not real. Play at your desired pace. There is nothing to "fall behind".

[marble geyser]

u could work ur butt off but get slapped by rng while enhancing or later on with ability stones and accessories anyways

[rain meadow]

the rush is real for rankers

[dusk oxide]

Does someone know the weekly reset time for eu?

[grave hull]

ah ok. so i guess those rushing will just hit end game and sit there allowing others time to catchup assuming they get there before the next update/expansion

[rotund flare]

They'll have stuff to do, but you won't be noticeably behind or ahead. Progress in this game is a little different to what we're used to.

[marble geyser]

not sure if u have seen zeal's video covering swiping/speedrunning the game, basically u just get scammed by AH if u try to get the best gear ASAP. the same gear could cost 200g week 1, but 2-3 months down the line it costs 20g

[rotund flare]

whales will be ahead but you can do the same content as the whales so who cares

[spiral thistle]

1-2 Am Thursday

[grave hull]

ok thank you. im just gonna be casual maybe 1-3hrs per day. and have played mmos where thats no where near enough time investment to be anywhere good

[rotund flare]

That is more than enough for this game. Lost ark actually respects your time, which we love. ❤️

[rough frost]

Is there an actual achievement for completing all the side quests?
Or is it okay just to do all the chain quests + purple + the ones in the adventure book?

[coarse fractal]

Hey guys. Ran into a rather weird problem, and I am seeing if this workaround would help.

Long story short, I did a gift exchange with my Korean cousin, and my Main steam acc got region locked to Korea until March. To work around this, I made a 2nd steam acc, and bought the platinum pack there. When I move the region of my main acc to the US server, can I access my Lost Ark account from that main acc?

[rain meadow]

I want to say no

Not sure how it works outside of steam, either

[delicate meteor]

there should be an achievement, I hope

[languid pond]

I want to say no as well but the NA/EU is the only one that offers the founders pack atm so maybe? wont know till you log in on the account into the NA/EU servers

[rough frost]

Well hopefully I can just do the chain+purple and use the powerpass to complete the others 😛

[mossy iris]

Ingame game language/translation available in spanish?

Said the game was available in spanish but i was unsure what that means.

[languid pond]

oh just read it no you can not merg accounts like that if you buy it on the second account and gift it to your main account then yes but if you buy it for your 2nd account then abso no

[coarse fractal]

The founder's pack is a code right

so does that mean I can just wait

[languid pond]

only if you buy it from amazon

[coarse fractal]

Shoot.

i uh really screwed this up then

[grave hull]

refund re buy from amazon?

[coarse fractal]

welp gonna have to juggle steam accounts because useless support was ADAMANT the world would collapse if they changed my acc region before the 3 month period

[languid pond]

xD you need to see if you can get a refund and instead of applying it to the 2nd account you need to buy as a gift for the main account

buy as a gift and if they ask you about it you can explain I am sure since its your account and not someone elses they should work with you.

[coarse fractal]

as the item is not available in the region my main acc is currently in, I am unsure if I can even do that.

[coarse fractal]

bro I sent them a ticket, and they've been ghosting me

[languid pond]

you should be able to maybe?

[coarse fractal]

after the 3rd ticket explaining my situation.

[warm trout]

hello guys... why is that 😦 ? im living in Turkey.

[coarse fractal]

even though I was being polite

[rain meadow]

timezones?

[languid pond]

its buggy timezones on steam dw

dont worry

[warm trout]

so that won't affect download time right?

[languid pond]

no everyone can download on the 7th at 9am PT

its not limited to founders pack

only to play on the 8th is

[warm trout]

thank you ❤️ i can go back to my sleep then.

[upbeat sinew]

Are the founder pack skins legendary ones? So do they give 8% statboost?

[sudden stream]

What can you do to continue progressing your character once you're done with daily and weekly stuff outside of side quests for skills, Mokoko seeds and other stuff. Is there anything you can do to continue grinding your gs up?

[surreal zealot]

is it hard to find a bard/tank for groups?

[boreal compass]

Can someone give me a run down of the na east servers? Trying to figure out which one i should be joining

[atomic gulch]

it is impossible to find tanks. Heu heu heu.

[upbeat sinew]

Becquse there are none

[languid pond]

its impossible to find tanks as they do not have the healer/dps/tank trio

[sudden stream]

Tanking = doing mechanics and not taking damage

[rain meadow]

founder skins are epic, afaik

[upbeat sinew]

Sadge

[rotund flare]

Every existing region has a support deficit, statistically. Tanks dont exist in this game.
You might find yourself waiting every once in a while for a support.

[tawny hearth]

bought the platinium pack, I'm a total noob, how should I spend my resources? anything I should save for endgame?

[delicate meteor]

there are no tanks in lost ark

[tawny hearth]

also not sure if my first character will be my main because I have no idea

[boreal compass]

Gun lancer is a tankish

[delicate meteor]

there's a difference between being tanky and tank

[boreal compass]

True

[rotund flare]

Scrapper is also "tankish".

[delicate meteor]

save resources for end game

[languid pond]

eveyone just be aware the first server you make a character on will be the server your founders pack gets delivered and locked into

[rotund flare]

i'm gonna find you a video hold up

[tawny hearth]

I shouldn't use anything from the platinium pack until I get lvl 50?

[tawny hearth]

thanks, no hurries

[delicate meteor]

you should have no need to do so

the only thing you can use without worries are potions with certain amount of health restoration, do not use the % potions

[surreal zealot]

should i pick any particular server or just a random one?

[rotund flare]

This video gives a general overview of the contents of the packs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6MXm96PB0A

[languid pond]

ideally find a group to play with but ultimately your choice

[delicate meteor]

My advice is to pick lower pop one.

[languid pond]

Cross Server (Region wide)
Raids, Dungeons, Cube, Plat Fields, Auction house, Character name, Boss Rush, PVP arenas

Server Specific
Guilds, Friends (list), Islands, Open world, Strongholds (cross in KR), GvG, Life skills (professions), Unranked Arena Premades (queue as party, this is cross server in KR)

Nothing is Cross Region

[shy escarp]

what are the reliable sources of purple engraving books early on ? (not including bids)

[sudden stream]

Been hearing for awhile the monetization info was coming this week, today or tomorrow. Not sure the announcement tonight pertains to that. I think it's separate.

[river panther]

anyone know what server i should play on if im from australia?

[delicate meteor]

reward if we hit concurrent numbers like for KR players director promised

[rain meadow]

people are saying aussies are going to Valtan

[river panther]

okay ty

[boreal compass]

Are certain servers in na east for certain types of players?

[surreal zealot]

will bard eventually get replaced by a better support class?

[rain meadow]

no?

[pseudo anvil]

From what I have heard Painter sure didn't.

Painter is too dps heavy supposedly.

[rain meadow]

not explicitly, word is that the pvp community is headed towards Azena, but other than that nothing much

[umbral idol]

When is the twitch drop stream going to start tomorrow? is it 12pm est?

[rotund flare]

8pm est

[umbral idol]

8pm? hmmm, what channel is it? just in case? there is list out there of several right?

[pseudo anvil]

20 streamers per region.

NA, EU, SA

[umbral idol]

Its the live steram by crown right?

[rain meadow]

no

[violet elk]

Does anyone have a good guide for what the best island order is?

[topaz dust]

Guys, pls help, i want know something, if i live on Mexico, near to Calexico US, i mean, i live on Mexicali Baja California, to, 15 minutes on car
Which server is better ? NA West or East?

[pseudo anvil]

Well, crown is doing one but it isn't the same kind of drop.

[rain meadow]

google cloudping

[umbral idol]

oof x-x im totally lost then

[violet elk]

!cloudping

[midnight flax]

Test your ping to Amazon servers:
https://www.cloudping.info/

[rotund flare]

yes, tonight's stream is on the crown channel

[rain meadow]

each of those streamers will be streaming on their own channels, you just have to sit in there for X hours to collect the drops

[spiral thistle]

Best order for what? You aren't specifying anything

[topaz dust]

Thanks

[umbral idol]

And have your steam account connected to twitch right? making sure im not missing anything, (ty btw xP)

[violet elk]

Suggested starter order of some kind. I just found one but I wanted something a bit more comprehensive.

[topaz dust]

Then is better us west

@violet elk really thanks ❤️

[rain meadow]

yep have to connect steam to twitch

[spiral thistle]

I doubt that exist because usually compiled data is for specific needs

[violet elk]

The game server is in Oregon by the way. If you are playing purely for ping that's what you'll get.

[rain meadow]

Oregon or Virginia

[umbral idol]

@rotund flare Ty guys : )

[stone rampart]

Guys Quick question, are ppl from Egypt able to play in eu on release? Steam doesnt allow to buy founder but amazon does any idea why is that ?

[pseudo anvil]

Think my Virginia is 55 and Ohio is 48.

[topaz dust]

then is better Oregon that California?

[pseudo anvil]

Not too bad.

[violet elk]

Here's one that has islands included in general starting route, but I wanted an island exclusive one. Preferably in text. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51866206346_a82e8af51e_5k.jpg

[violet elk]

Oregon is where the game server is meaning that's what you'll get on NA West. Virginia is NA East.

[spiral thistle]

Again, it depends on what you need it for. Islands have many rewards.

[warm siren]

Yo I have a question regarding engravings. Can you find class specific engravings on accessories and stones? Or do accessories and stones come with general engravings only?
That's because I think that ideally the class engraving is really the only thing you'd want to equip on the equippable engraving slots, correct?

[violet elk]

That specific guide is for materials. Will it suffice for that purpose?

[violet elk]

Class can't appear on the ability stone

[warm siren]

What about Accessories?

[spiral thistle]

You can use my compiled data in pins, bottom

[violet elk]

Yup

[warm siren]

So they do appear on accessories but not on the stone

[spiral thistle]

Though mine is only for eastern CBT islands. After that I will have to compile on launch for T2 Islands

[patent laurel]

I don't think you can buy it in egypt but you can use a vpn

[patent laurel]

Look at how people in Netherland or Belgium are planning to play the game because it is not available there too

[stone rampart]

Still weird it allows you to buy at amazon xD

[patent laurel]

Idk why is that but probably you won't be able to redeem it

[tawny hearth]

thanks, that was interesting, so I just store the HP% potions for using later on dungeons

[rotund flare]

Exactly. They are veeery useful for raids and hard dungeons. The other heal over time pots you can chug like a madman.

[tawny hearth]

I wonder if mount, pet, skins, titles are for all character or only the first one

because I like artillery and it will be my first character, but I'm not sure if it will be my main

[violet elk]

Pets, titles, mounts are server. Skins are per character.

[tawny hearth]

thanks

if I don't care about visuals, should I spend the 7000 royal cristals on buying crystaline auras every moth? or there's anything else that helps gameplay?

[violet elk]

You'll spend more of them on Blue Crystals than auras.

[maiden locust]

It says this on Amazon founders pack page, I thought you can have more than 1?

[violet elk]

One of each tier. So one bronze/silver/gold/plat. Not two plats and so on.

[tawny hearth]

what are those for? any important consumable?

[maiden locust]

I mean, it says Founders pack, not Platinum Founders pack

[violet elk]

Tons of stuff in the store as well as gold.

[violet elk]

Trust me, it's one of each tier.

[rotund flare]

You can buy one founder pack of each tier. you can stack 1 bronze, 1 silver, 1 gold & 1 plat. you cannot buy 2 gold.

[maiden locust]

okay, so Amazon lied again

[wind summit]

😃

[frail verge]

if i get that right, theres no Chance for EU to reach lvl50 before the First Reset at 1am , right?

[cedar wharf]

No you can plan your first 30 hours of progress or so

Before you need to have your dailies done

[frail verge]

Okay Thanks. But Why 30 hours?

[cedar wharf]

Next daily reset

[raven sigil]

Hello, are there any useful Lost Ark discord bots?

[cedar wharf]

Saint Bot, check Reddit there is a thread up

Hey guys, do you think GTX Nvidia 1050 TI can run the game?

[wispy horizon]

will I be able to make my first character and then make another after, or will it start the game after 1st creation?

[frail verge]

I guess best Thing would be going for Dailys, After that asap doing an alt and then Pushing alt to 50 and doing also dailys with alt.
After that going for Weeklys with both before the First Weekly reset

[crimson ledge]

You'll be able to run it. Depending on your other PC components, you may need to play on lowest settings.

@wary condor You could try using 'CYRI' , just as a guide.

@crimson ledge I just mean my founders pack does not say the headstart date, I wonder if I did it wrong.

[maiden locust]

no

Damn, thanks

[rotund flare]

Mine doesn't either. I think the option will unlock at the appropriate time.

[woven crest]

Okay, thank you

[crimson ledge]

The game will be unlocked for you earlier, just like it should be. Don't listen to Steam, as it only lists the original release date.

[woven crest]

So the minimum required for this game is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, the TI should be ok but probably for the lowest settings. 16GB is the recommended minimum ram.

[maiden locust]

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
minimum

[dense summit]

anyone else cant sleep

30 hours to release

[supple crescent]

Question for you guys, I tried to gift my friend in EU the bronze pack on Steam, but it said because of regional price differences I couldn't (I'm in the US). We're both planning on playing in EU servers, my question is if I buy the bronze pack twice on Amazon US, can he use that code to redeem his game on steam, or will there be an issue because of region?

[delicate meteor]

For discussions go to #lost-ark-discussions

[maiden locust]

gift him a steam wallet with 15 euro so he can buy for himself

[crimson ledge]

Minimum RAM required is 8GB. Recommended is 16GB.

[supple crescent]

Well I already purchased twice on Amazon, just don't know if I'll need to refund

[delicate meteor]

Just give it to him now and ask him to try to redeem it

[maiden locust]

well, did it work? if no, then refund

[supple crescent]

I haven't gotten the codes yet

[delicate meteor]

there's plenty of time, you should get code with preinstall (amazon will send codes on 7th same as pre install)

[supple crescent]

Should I have? I pre-ordered months ago

[delicate meteor]

It's later today

[supple crescent]

Gotcha

We'll check then then, thanks

[half kindle]

Hey all, has there been a server that OCE players have decided to play on? I can't find much googling

[sudden stream]

Is there a guide or chart or spreadsheet or anything regarding engravings and knowing which ones to look for and which ones are trash?

Not sure if anyone has a better resource, but this is what I found:

[bitter cape]

Hi guys what do you think is the easier class to play on high ping(like 200ping)

[delicate meteor]

any of the classes who don't weapon swap

[mighty wave]

How important is being in a guild?

[crimson ledge]

#lost-ark-help message

[surreal zealot]

what can the premium currency be used for?

[bitter cape]

alright ty

[misty tree]

Royal crystals? Everything. Including &

[delicate meteor]

Kinda important

[waxen monolith]

If there are multi language guilds its still gonna be international

[misty tree]

Not true. I have not joined a guild even once

U will be fine

[fervent rivet]

will there be a server limit ? am afraid of taking my time when creating my character and than the server i want to play on will be filled and locked

[delicate meteor]

ofcourse there is a limit, we don't know that limit, though

[fervent rivet]

when am on character creation does that save my spot on the server ?

[delicate meteor]

if you log into the server, you can't get kicked due to server limitations, you choose server, get to char screen you gucci

[fervent rivet]

got it

ty

[rigid agate]

Can i create characters on Eu and NA server to play with different friends?

[delicate meteor]

Yes

[fervent rivet]

i will take my time in character creation than

[delicate meteor]

your founders pack gets bound to FIRST server you CREATE character on

[oak sun]

can u see queues before creating character?

[delicate meteor]

keep in mind you may not get the name you want then

[delicate meteor]

you are in queue if there are any before you get to create your character

[oak sun]

oki

[fervent rivet]

meh.. who cares .. !

[oak sun]

if my region is blocked do I need VPN or I can just create new steam acc on other region?

[fervent rivet]

i hate nameing my characters .. i will just make a stupid one

[delicate meteor]

You still need VPN to create a steam account on a different region than you are in

[oak sun]

yea but if I make acc for my friend and gave it to them

[fervent rivet]

yeah, but i dont need it to log in to the game right ?

[oak sun]

she doesnt need VPN after to play right?

[delicate meteor]

you do, to both of you

[oak sun]

aw

[fervent rivet]

there wasnt a need for VPN on beta. did that change ?

[delicate meteor]

beta was beta, they even changed TOS for vpn's

They may not enforce it, but it's a risk

[oak sun]

that sucks

need to play with VPN then :c

[delicate meteor]

correct, if you have a good internet and trust your friend, you can make personal vpn for your friend using your PC as vpn server

[oak sun]

these NL block doesnt make sense tbh

in that case they would need to block 80% of the games

[oak sun]

will just get exitlag since it only uses VPN for game and not whole pc

[delicate meteor]

lost ark has system that is considered gambling in NL and belgium

[oak sun]

yea but overwatch boxes and CSGO is basically gamble too

[delicate meteor]

different things

[oak sun]

how so

[delicate meteor]

not the channel for this topic

[oak sun]

literally gamble but okey xd

[cedar wharf]

Stay on topic please like Cyrops said

[rotund flare]

Legal whiffwhaff. Details are available on respective countries' legal sites.
you can go to #lost-ark-discussions if you want to discuss it in depth

[young thorn]

is there a mokoko pet?

[waxen shoal]

oh yeah , i already have NA steam account , but do i need VPN to download the game from steam ?

[nocturne pebble]

is there a first day route guide?

[mild thicket]

ik hard dungeons give better items but do they give more exp too?

[mystic dome]

where are you from? @waxen shoal

[surreal zealot]

pvp is cross server? in other words it doesn't matter what server you pick?

[hollow turret]

What’s the best class for life skills?

[topaz dust]

Guys, if i play on US West Mari server, i can play with my friend of US East Regulus, isnt?

[rotund flare]

I don't think hard mode dungeons give better items? atleast not the leveling ones

[white slate]

anyone got a detailed guide on what to do when u start chaos dungeons. just did my 2 chaos so far im 300ilvl. seems my aim now is just upgrade 1 piece for 302 so i can start my first guardian. is this the right way?

[rotund flare]

you cant group cross region

[topaz dust]

what?

[mystic dome]

@surreal zealot yes cross server

@hollow turret one with high mobility

@topaz dust no only within same region (west -> west)

@white slate doesn't chaos dungeon gear start you at 302?

[prime ore]

Is there a questlist guide on which ones to do in order?

[hollow turret]

Between Wardancer, Scrapper, and Shadowhunter : is there a major difference between their mobility?

[delicate meteor]

just follow main quest

[mystic dome]

I want to say scrapper has highest of those 3 @hollow turret

[white slate]

lvl 1 chaos dungeon start at 250ilvl. or i dont understand ur question

[cedar wharf]

Taijutsu Infighter and Wardancer should be up there in terms mobility @hollow turret

[delicate meteor]

you run until you have 302 from chaos dungeon drops

[mystic dome]

oh you don't have a full set

[hollow turret]

Thanks all!

[white slate]

no full set

[mystic dome]

full set is 302

[white slate]

can i solo the firs guardian raid?

[hollow comet]

so i heared server transfers transfer all your characters. is that true? does anyone know how much a transfer will aprox. cost like?

[cedar wharf]

Guardians scale with the number of players, it’s just more annoying/harder to solo

[mystic dome]

go upgrade your gear first

should help

[cedar wharf]

There is no transfer announced for our region. It’s a very rare thing

[mild thicket]

while leveling from +10, the "hard" dungeons give purple items opposed to the green ones

but for launch people say do the hard ones for better loot

while others say do the normal for it to be faster

[surreal zealot]

is stronghold cross character?

[crimson ledge]

How does Gold and Platinum Funder's Exclusive Avatar stacking works? I've seen 2 different colors for Warrior class skin, so to be able to use both of them do you need to buy these 2 packs?

[delicate meteor]

yes

[delicate meteor]

There's 3 colors total afaik, and yes

[crimson ledge]

Thanks

[mystic dome]

wait did Roxx say there are multiple colors available for the plat skins?

or just the Lawmaker

[delicate meteor]

not sure about plat, high doubt, but lawmaker has 3 variations I believe, red white and black

[trim void]

just lawmaker, all she said about the plat ones was the ones we see are the ones we get

[mystic dome]

boooo

[brisk jolt]

Does anybody know what the appearance change coupon allows you to change? Is it everything that can be customised when originally creating the character the first time or only a limited few aspects like just hair style and colours?

[delicate meteor]

Everything, you get same char creation screen

[mystic dome]

everything except name

[rotund flare]

I see. I don't think its time efficient to do hard mode if we weigh the difference in item reward tbh, it'll be replaced pretty fast

[brisk jolt]

Sweet thanks for the info, one other thing i want to just check: can you choose which letter in your character name is capitalised or is it always the first letter? Since you can only have one, i was thinking you could choose which letter gets to be capital

[tawny hearth]

on beta I tried playing with a friend but most missions were instanced and we were changed channels after every instance, should we just lvl up to 50 separated?

[mystic dome]

if you'd like

otherwise just keep re partying

but if it gets annoying just get to 50 and then party for everything

[rotund flare]

on RU it will always capitalize the first letter. I'm not super sure how it will be for EU's system.

[brisk jolt]

According to their steam announcement post they said that they've restricted "capitalized letters other than the first letter of the name" which to me seems to imply that only the first letter of the name gets to be capital and only 1 capital letter

[deft sigil]

anyone know why we cant download from steam yet =? and why it says download wont be avaible before 11 februar even when we got founder packs ? or is it just me ?

thx

[waxen shoal]

sea

[brisk jolt]

This game is by far the most restrictive in character names i've played to date, not even numbers are allowed...sheesh

[cosmic wagon]

Can someone explain to me what this new announcement about the founders pack and servers mean? I am not sure I understand it

[bold pollen]

Are guild names server specific or region specific?

[rotund flare]

If you make a character on a server, your founder pack items will be put on that server.

So your first character determines where your items go.

[delicate meteor]

region

[waxen shoal]

just want to know if i can download the game just fine with NA account without using VPN on steam , or they still detect my region and prevent me from downloading it

[delicate meteor]

we don't know

[cosmic wagon]

Oh no. This is so weird, I am not sure where my friends will play because not everyone has headstart etc -.-

[tidal dawn]

Hey not sure if this is asked often but is there a resource that shows which servers will be more english focused EU wise

[atomic gulch]

Ask them? 😄

[delicate meteor]

https://la-eu-servers.netlify.app/ (seems it's down)

[quiet sluice]

Anyone know if they will actively ban players playing from a region locked area? BE / NL

[tidal dawn]

Thanks ily

[bold pollen]

Thanks! :D

[delicate meteor]

How can we answer that???

[tidal dawn]

Yeah seems to be down np at least I got it now

[rotund flare]

They have quoted that VPN's are not allowed, but we dont know if they are going to enforce this rule or not.

[quiet sluice]

No clue lmfao

[white slate]

how many guardian raids can u do per day?

[delicate meteor]

only 2 give rewards, you can spam them 24/7

[tidal dawn]

They usually never enforce VPN bans so would be odd if lost ark does

[bleak radish]

how many buttons does this game have compared to something like diablo or POE?

[atomic gulch]

8 main skills

+1 ult

[waxen crystal]

!cloudping

[midnight flax]

Test your ping to Amazon servers:
https://www.cloudping.info/

[rotund flare]

9 buttons, 8 on bars, 1 awakening skill.

You use Q, W, E, R, A, S, D, F. So the two top rows on the left of your keyboard by default.

[nimble mango]

• one or two identity + consumables quickslots

[bleak radish]

it’s either that or my mmo mouse i’m trying to decide

[atomic gulch]

o yea few more consumables, but you can rebind any buttons

[bleak radish]

how many consumables usually?

[surreal zealot]

does it make sense to use more than one founder pack on the same character?

[tidal dawn]

Looked like most rewards are kinda universal?

[frigid badger]

The trick to stack more than one founder's pack is to get currencies for cheap and most importantly stacking cristaline aura days

You can't stack founders pack of same tier (no 2 plat) but you can stack one gold + one plat

[warped flint]

will the steam version block vpns for lost ark?

[delicate meteor]

depends on class, 8 skills plus awakening and some classes have 2 identity some 1 some 0. so either 9 or 11

[pure night]

some 0 too

[tidal dawn]

Some classes seem to be much more APM heavy than others too

[pure night]

but theres a dash too, so its 10 without consumables minimum

[delicate meteor]

those too

[tidal dawn]

Gonna have to look up some keybind vids probably

[bleak radish]

yeaaa

i’ll probably just do it a bit how i play ffxiv

[worldly pollen]

I just saw a video from KR, are the prices going to be the same?

[rotund flare]

We do not know. We find out either tonight or tomorrow.

[hidden wigeon]

Asking one last time before release, which server are english speakers going to choose? Is it still zinnervale?

[worldly pollen]

oh okay ty

[maiden locust]

Zinnervale, Kadan.

[nocturne pebble]

what are nickname limitations?

[spiral thistle]

Zinnervale has the highest amount of english guilds registered to it. But there is a lot of last minute panicking happening so everyone registered there might not actually go there.

[hidden wigeon]

Okay thanks

[tidal dawn]

No special chars and first letter capital as far as I know

[crimson ledge]

Also no spaces

[bleak radish]

no spaces sucks

[faint pagoda]

Can we use a Number as the first character and after that a capital letter

[celest quartz]

You can use special characters from supported languages

https://forums.playlostark.com/t/cyrillic-chars-in-name-allowed/35919/6?u=silverine

[stark pelican]

Is EU release starting with Season 2 or?

[tidal dawn]

getting early T3 I think

[stark pelican]

not tier but season

[rain meadow]

everything is season 2

[stark pelican]

good, thanks

[mystic copper]

are the servers split into languages?

[delicate meteor]

not officially

[mystic copper]

unofficially is there anywhere to see language % to server (I know it might change day 1 but it would be nice to get an idea)

[ebon jackal]

Timezones are confusing. Do the dailies reset at 0:00 server time?

[rain meadow]

thought it was 1am server time

[delicate meteor]

https://la-eu-servers.netlify.app/ your best bet

[bitter cape]

guys what do you think is the easiest class for a beginner? like my brother has 0 gaming experience but wants to try lost ark

[maiden locust]

yea, like 3-5% of it will be guaranteed english as per that google doc

[rotund flare]

according to guild data

[vast copper]

Why does it say chinese will be west? Don't they have JP, RU?

[delicate meteor]

any class, really, like, really any

[rotund flare]

It depends on what he likes as a person. Tell him to pick the cool looking one! It will probably be fine. Most of the complex classes like arcana wont be there for release.

[maiden locust]

chinese people live in NA and made some Guilds

[vast copper]

Yeah I just figured because of the flag

[tawny vault]

if i make a second account to fish, would i be able to trade all of those mats over to my main?

[surreal zealot]

is there a solo ranked pvp or only grouped?

[cedar wharf]

Only solo ranked

[cloud wharf]

How important are World Events? And how many people do I need for them?

[delicate meteor]

depends on event and your ilvl

[bitter cape]

alright thank you cuz like he’s really new in term of gaming, like hitting to many buttons is already pretty difficult for him and he wants to try raiding

so I don’t want him to go for « hard » class

[rotund flare]

He will be a-okay. As long as he picks a visually pleasing class to his taste, he can master anything without any prior gaming experience. The game luckily has limited amounts of buttons to deal with.

[delicate meteor]

sadly there is no easy mode in raids, since the raids themselves are hard for other reasons

[bitter cape]

aleeight thanks a lot

[maiden locust]

Can you buy character slots as a f2p?

[dark willow]

does the plat founder pack skin automatically redeem on your first character or I can transfer to an other class after ^

[coral gorge]

hey, I'm planning to play casually incl pvp/endgame, should I choose a server with low population?

[maiden locust]

you have to wait like a month to see which is low pop

[coral gorge]

but would it be recommended in general?

[surreal zealot]

so it's 1v1s?

[rotund flare]

Your server choice will not really matter. You can if you want to.

[vast oasis]

Auto redeems unfortunately

[rotund flare]

3v3 tdm

[coral gorge]

ok thanks (:

[dark willow]

oh so I have to do the class I want the skin first ?

[rotund flare]

!region

[midnight flax]

Cross Server (Region wide)
Raids, Dungeons, Cube, Plat Fields, Auction house, Character name, Boss Rush, PVP arenas

Server Specific
Guilds, Friends (list), Islands, Open world, Strongholds (cross in KR), GvG, Life skills (professions), Unranked Arena Premades (queue as party, this is cross server in KR)

Nothing is Cross Region

[rotund flare]

^this is a list of what will matter for server

and what won't

based on that you can choose

[coral gorge]

yea, still have to find a nice casual guild 😄

[delicate meteor]

no, you redeem the skin on the class you want

[dark willow]

perfect thanks, wanted to make sure it does not auto redeem on a char that I test lol

[delicate meteor]

it only auto assigns package to the server you create first character on, so keep that in mind

[broken fable]

Anyone know a good VPN to use?

[delicate meteor]

This only invites advertising.

[maiden locust]

Nord, express, exitlag?

[broken fable]

Fair point, just wondering what people use since the game isn’t in my region

[delicate meteor]

You will get a different answer depending on sponsorship

[maiden locust]

hello, are guild names server specific?

[maiden locust]

[frigid silo]

Is there a way to see ping of a server before you play on it then? My friends want to all play on an east coast server while I'm on the west and I'm afraid my ping will be too bad to play with them

[delicate meteor]

https://www.cloudping.info/ try the ones in east

[tawny vault]

anyone know at what level and where can i unlock fishing?

[pallid geyser]

hello, I have the prepaid pack but it is still telling me the game will unlock on Steam on the 11th, is this normal?

[delicate meteor]

life skills are unlocked via quest at 20 i think

[delicate meteor]

yes

[brisk quail]

IS there mor information about the power pass - saw something saying its EARN not Pay?

[delicate meteor]

probably gold

[high moss]

new to mmos so idk if this is a dumb question. I see pvp arena is cross server but unranked arena premades is server specific. Does this mean you could only be in a competitive team with people from the same server as you or does it not matter?

[maiden locust]

ye, its gold

[brisk quail]

Thanks

[pallid geyser]

@delicate meteor thanks:)

[delicate meteor]

for ranked arena you are only solo queuing, if you want to play in tournaments, you need to practise with people from your server in unranked

[marble terrace]

Do we know is it will be possible to change a guild's name after creation ?

[opal flame]

What is the least popular sub classes in the game?

[delicate meteor]

noone knows

[high moss]

great thanks 🙂 and tournaments are cross server right?

[dire robin]

anyone know if there is a western version of inven character preset? or at least a russian version? or that some site have plans to add it?

[cedar wharf]

3v3

[delicate meteor]

no idea, unofficial tournaments made by players are local to server I think

[frozen storm]

regarding the legends of lost ark twitch event, for the 1st twitch drop the only requirement is watching 4 hours of stream? like it doesn't require the team to earn any points?

[frigid silo]

Do y'all think 100-150 ping is playable?

[delicate meteor]

yes

[ocean perch]

yes

[frigid silo]

Even in pvp?

[maiden locust]

for pvp is kinda meh, but doable

[ocean perch]

used to play with 150-200 in RU, it is harder than playing with better ping for sure, but still doable

[crimson ledge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/qtwznj/closed_beta_most_played_classes_and_popularity/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

[delicate meteor]

irrelevant, lots of people were just trying classes out

[ocean perch]

I did not see the recent polls, and even them are not 100% reliable, but deadeye, scrapper, striker and wardancer will probably be less popular in the beginning of this server

[rotund flare]

Scrims are done in customs.
Customs are cross-server. It will not matter.
Some tourny teams want to have you in the same guild, so keep that in consideration.
Normal unranked 3v3 is not generally used as a method of practice within competetive teams.

[inner lintel]

are dailies in lost ark relatively short? I dont want it to become a chore which eventually gonna make me not want to play same with other MMOs i played that had very committing dailies

[delicate meteor]

some take less than 5mins

[rotund flare]

Doing all your daily chores doesnt take more than 30m. Induvidual dailies are short.

[high moss]

thanks 🙂

[rapid girder]

Is there such thing as a “fastest” levelling class? Or is everything about equal?

[crimson ledge]

The most mobile classes are the fastest. You oneshot everything either way.

[inner lintel]

ok ty guys @delicate meteor @rotund flare

[oblique shadow]

https://youtu.be/R8MPRzTONUE?t=274

are things like these dragon mounts and machine mounts still in the game?

[craggy sinew]

For people that have experience with Gunlancer? How slow does it really feel, especially while leveling? Since we get Knowledge transfer at launch I was considering leveling with a faster class and then boosting Gunlancer.

[chilly thorn]

Hello folks 🙂 just a question regarding today's pre-download.It will be available through Steam too i hope?

[maiden locust]

anyone know what streamers are going where for na east?????????

[rotund flare]

[chilly thorn]

thanks 🙂

[tulip prawn]

Any way for person living in the Netherlands to buy packs (not saying I will but..) for Lost Ark? I was reading a thread about it where it's banned by the government. I have a possibility of buying it through Amazon (founders pack)

[tulip plaza]

I wouldn't.

[maiden locust]

you need a steam account with VPN to an unlocked country to use it and play

[tulip plaza]

If you can't buy it on Steam, game won't be available.

[edgy granite]

Didn't they make it so you have to have a local payment method and make 1 purchase in that region first?

I am kind of in the same boat, I live in Egypt and I have no idea if I will be able to play yet

I bought the founder's edition through amazon

[full widget]

Do we know what the unlock requirement is for battle pass ?

[edgy granite]

Waiting to see if I can redeem it

[maiden locust]

steam gift cards from 3rd party and use that as local payment

[delicate meteor]

on RU you have to do daily tasks to get progress for it

[edgy granite]

hmm, does your account get locked similar to PSN after that? i mean if i use a steam usa gift card and switch my region to USA, can i still use my Egyptian card after?

[full widget]

Ahh ok so it's gonna be a while off so still use knowledge transfer ad soon as possible

[maiden locust]

I didnt test it or anything, but you should be able to, and region change has 3month cooldown

[edgy granite]

cool, let's see first if i can redeem he amazon key

[tulip prawn]

[edgy granite]

I was able to with all closed betas and New World

[delicate meteor]

I think you mixed something there, battle pass is not what they talked about

[spice igloo]

I see some speed leveling guides say yo skip the prologue to save time, do you get any rewards during the prologue that's worth it for more casual players?

[full widget]

Battle pass is the irl paid boost right?

[delicate meteor]

no it's a reward mechanic

[maiden locust]

battle pass is the event, and power pass is the character boost, no?

[pliant herald]

how fast do the guilds level in general? i know u get +2 capacity per level, but in a week or so how high will it go

[cedar wharf]

around 2 weeks to level 10 aka 50 slots

[clear needle]

hey, if you buy the founder edition today can you still access the game tomorrow with the 3-day early access thing?

[cedar wharf]

depends if you swipe for it etc

[fathom wing]

I pre-ordered from Amazon, and They have no charges me yet? Do you guys have any info on that?

[cedar wharf]

yes

[willow rapids]

You can swipe for guild slots?

[tulip prawn]

Then would be paying 5 euros a month for vpn a good idea? I have no other choice. Dammit. Game not f2p anymore (bruh, I wanted the founders pack, contradicting) if I need to pay for vpn each month

[cedar wharf]

they will charge you once they send the code out when predownload starts

!release

[midnight flax]

SayNoToScrapper!, you need to wait 14 seconds to use that command again.

[cedar wharf]

bad bot

[storm umbra]

Question about founders packs. Would it be worth to buy more like bronze+silver+gold+plat, or should i just buy the plat one? They're available until the 11th right? Thanks!

[pliant herald]

wait i i thought u get +2 capacity per level, dont you ?

[cedar wharf]

just a typo its 50

[tiny copper]

anyone know what time the stream with the director will be?

[pliant herald]

oh ok, yeah thanks

[rancid charm]

i have a 55gb version from the beta, i can not uninstall directly from steam, should this be a concern for pre download?

[fathom wing]

@storm umbra plat and bronze are the 2 that has the most value

[willow rapids]

It's a separate game ID for launch, so won't be an issue

Besides taking up space in your drive ofc

[fathom wing]

Everything in between is ok but not amazing

[maiden locust]

if you say it like that its kinda wrong

[sudden stream]

Gold has the most value for money spent. Plat has skins.

[delicate meteor]

not true

[sudden stream]

Silver is a waste of money, bronze is for an ultra budget

[fathom wing]

Oh I just felt skins are more valuable

[loud harbor]

Hi. I plan to play on one of the EU servers and have bought a founder's pack. I have read about the fact that you can only claim it on the server where your first character will be. What should I keep in mind when choosing one of the servers? I and 2 friends need to choose one.

Have some communities already decided on this?

[willow rapids]

Sorry to ping again but can you clarify on this?

[delicate meteor]

silver has 1k crystals which are 10usd (according to leak) so you literally get more from silver than bronze

[cedar wharf]

you can buy guild emblems from Mari's shop that give you more guild exp at daily check in

[maiden locust]

Come Kadan

[willow rapids]

Oooh, interesting thank you

[rancid charm]

honestly the only thing u need to consider is that you and ur friend are on the same server

[loud harbor]

Ye, but I also want to be together with a lot of people from here.

[sudden stream]

If you're trying to get the most value, silver offers nothing that gold doesn't offer which has higher value for money spent. Bronze is just the minimum if you want early access on the cheap.

So in that regard, silver is a waste of money.

[maiden locust]

I have a feeling it will be 20

[loud harbor]

Is Kadan the one where most from here will try to go?

[rancid charm]

then its zinnervale or kadan, those are the jam packed servers

[delicate meteor]

that makes silver even higher in value than bronze

[sudden stream]

Wrong @

[rancid charm]

why wrong

i have statistics to back me up

[sudden stream]

Because you @ mentioned me for something I didn't say.

[rancid charm]

oh

sorry the chat moved when i clicked

[maiden locust]

it gives more value to the packs, but later it will cost us more

[willow rapids]

Is the guild check in the daily contribution thing you can do that usually gives 1 xp per player? If so do you know how much it increases the xp by?

[cedar wharf]

dont remember its like 5x maybe even 10x

dont quote me plx

[willow rapids]

That's fine, just knowing it exists is helpful enough

Thanks a lot

[elfin condor]

I've seen guids that talk about Guardian Raids and say not to "collect the soul" for the first guardians, and do the highest one. How does that work? Not kill the boss or something?

[faint valve]

when is the lastest you can buy a founders pack ?

[rocky silo]

Daily attendance - 3xp per person.

[unique dirge]

Can't purchase after release right?

[rocky silo]

You can until feb 11th

[willow rapids]

Is this before or after the Guild emblem is used?

[rocky silo]

That costs nothing.

[cedar wharf]

this is from RU

[willow rapids]

So 3 if you do all those each day, got it. Well to begin with at the start it'd only be Silver

[rocky silo]

You can get extra exp with emblem / gold / silver

[willow rapids]

Is that Mark of Honor the emblem in the shop? Or something different

[cedar wharf]

from Mari's

[rocky silo]

You can buy it with crystal

[willow rapids]

Awesome thanks

[lapis thunder]

thx

[cedar wharf]

they are called Guild Honor Banner in our version and 5 should cost 56 bc

[lapis thunder]

is it possible to get 1 letter names

[maiden locust]

can you level together while being on different servers?

[cedar wharf]

2 is minimum

[lapis thunder]

👍

[willow rapids]

Sweet thanks a lot

[cedar wharf]

thats info i recorded on beta so take it with a grain of salt

samne with exp that screenshit i posted is from RU

[pure yacht]

What is Power Pass?

[rocky silo]

5 costs 80bc in korean server. Haha. Why is it cheaper in here. 🤔

[willow rapids]

Yea that's still fine, the fact something like that exists is enough

[surreal zealot]

does PvE progress matter in PvP at all?

[cosmic fulcrum]

Can casual players keep up with the latest content without having to create multiple alt characters?

[willow rapids]

Are you still limited to giving one daily or can you give more if you have emblems to give

[cedar wharf]

no most pvp is normalized, only in GvG gear matters and thats really niche

[cedar wharf]

yea still the limit

[willow rapids]

Okie dokie

[tidal lagoon]

Have the different communities already started staking out their servers yet?

[cedar wharf]

in tier 3 you should probably get a few (2--3) alts rolling but that is based on the other regions.

[pure yacht]

What is Power Pass?

[cedar wharf]

level boost to 50 that is paid usually

[maiden locust]

Done that since the servers were released

[pure yacht]

ah

[west lava]

Have they said when T2 and T3 plan to be released? Im reading they can be considered like expansions so not for a while?

[cedar wharf]

we have t3 from start

[maiden locust]

Released on launch

[tidal lagoon]

There a list somewhere?

[cosmic fulcrum]

But is it mandatory in order to take on the latest raids and stuff?

[rough field]

do you guys think it is worth it to upgrade from bronze to silver?

[cedar wharf]

if you want to get into the raids the day they release you will need to play more than one character as complete free to play, if you dont mind being a bit late you dont

[rocky silo]

Yea since silver gives 1k royal crystal which is $10 worth.

[rough field]

^^ yeah was thinking about that

[tidal lagoon]

NVM, I think I found a list. Very generic for my area.

[maiden locust]

How do you get in the lfg guild channel ?

[cedar wharf]

doesnt make as much sense for NA, EU is different we have to worry about 20 languages

[maiden locust]

Set region

I did

[maiden locust]

You didn’t

[cosmic fulcrum]

Okay cool thanks

[cedar wharf]

no region flag check #navigation

[tidal lagoon]

I just didn't want to end up in a French server but I did find out that there are already streamer and PVP ear marked servers so I know what to pick.

[cedar wharf]

but you have a NA flag? the french arent going to the US to play you know

[narrow heath]

im looking at the Founder's Packs is this not just a one time payment type of packs? :S why do i have to agree to steams Steam Subscriber Agreement ?

[cedar wharf]

or are you afraid of a canadian invasion

[maiden locust]

It’s possible. Pretty sure they did that on NW

[tidal lagoon]

We have a province full of French people so yeah.

[maiden locust]

They do that for every purchase

[cedar wharf]

they are all one time payment, steam subscriber agreement is steams Terms of Service

[dusky bay]

when do the Founder's packs become unavailable? specifically date and time?

[mystic dome]

2/11 12 PM EST

[dapper heath]

may I ask, do you guys know if I lose anything much by going into pvp servers or pve servers?

[mystic dome]

No

[dire robin]

Steam Subscriber Agreement is what you need for any payment in steam, steam doesnt actually sell you any games its more of a subscription to games but as a single one time payment for them, technically you dont really own anything in your steam library

[cedar wharf]

there are no pvp or pve servers, the pvp community just decided they all wanted to go on the same server

[dapper heath]

oooo I see

[toxic crypt]

Is Lost ark well be playeble in GeForce now?

[mystic dome]

No

[cedar wharf]

no

[dapper heath]

so Kadan is it for EU right? o.o

[cedar wharf]

yea

[tropic elbow]

Which server is that? Kadan or Zinnervale?
I keep seeing spreadsheets/infographics with fluctuating information

[cedar wharf]

Kadan is the PvP Community Server for EU

[tropic elbow]

Thank you very much

[dapper heath]

can we server hop later on? like buy a ticket to transfer to another server?

[cedar wharf]

No server transfer is very rare in Lost Ark

[dapper heath]

ooooof

[cedar wharf]

you only need to be on the same server for unranked premades anyway

[violet elk]

Quick question about Abyss dungeons. The maxroll site says this about them: 3 per week per Abyss Dungeon. Availability is per character. You can only complete one difficulty per week.

What exactly is difficulty referring to?

[cedar wharf]

!region

[midnight flax]

Cross Server (Region wide)
Raids, Dungeons, Cube, Plat Fields, Auction house, Character name, Boss Rush, PVP arenas

Server Specific
Guilds, Friends (list), Islands, Open world, Strongholds (cross in KR), GvG, Life skills (professions), Unranked Arena Premades (queue as party, this is cross server in KR)

Nothing is Cross Region

[cedar wharf]

thats old info its 1 per week now with a gold reward

[worldly pollen]

uhm, so we can pre-download in 3 hours and play in 15 hours?

[violet elk]

So I can only do one clear of Abyss in a week?

[cedar wharf]

yes

[mystic dome]

Play in about 27 hours @worldly pollen

[violet elk]

Does that mean I should wait to do the highest I can possibly do before a reset?

[mystic dome]

You can clear each dungeon 1x a week

[smoky rain]

what times are daily and weekly resets?

[cedar wharf]

you should always do if possible

[violet elk]

Each one. Not one Abyss, period.

[mystic dome]

Each abyss dungeon iirc

[violet elk]

As in I can do the 340 and 460?

[cedar wharf]

Just read the offical information
https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/launch-details

[mystic dome]

I believe so, yes.

[elfin condor]

😮 Twitch has Lost Ark ads

[tough flint]

If i have bought LA on steam on a german account do i need to activate a vpn and set it to germany or can i just launch it? I remember for kurtzpel i could just launch it

[subtle steeple]

amazon is the publisher and amazon owns twitch too

[cedar wharf]

just play the game

[tough flint]

Okay nice!

[maiden locust]

unless he is in a locked country

[tulip prawn]

.

[tough flint]

Netherlands here

[cedar wharf]

which germany is not

[tulip prawn]

Yeah same, NL too

waiting on whats gonna happen tomorrow

[cedar wharf]

Please no discussion in this channel, it is for questions only

move to #lost-ark-discussions if you want to discuss region locks etc

[tough flint]

Okay ty

[cedar wharf]

wait you said german now you said nertherlands?

what is it

[maiden locust]

I didnt find where he said he is in germany, just german acc

[cedar wharf]

i mean when you say german steam account i assume you are german

[smoky rain]

ty, but i dont see the day for weekly reset, is it sunday?

[willow rapids]

Thursday

[cedar wharf]

thursday

[violet elk]

Now I'm curious if it's one clear per Abyss dungeon, or one clear period. Hmmm.

[tough flint]

German acc but i am located in NL

[cedar wharf]

then you probably need a VPN but you just have to test. Sywo has a video that might help you.

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

[tough flint]

Okay will see if i can launch it without vpn first

Ty!

[willow rapids]

I did a quick search but couldn't find an answer. Regarding the LoLA event tomorrow, I'm planning on playing in the EU, am I able to watch someone that's on Team NA i.e Datmodz and claim the Tiered rewards for myself to use? Or do I have to watch and claim from Streamers in the EU team?

[surreal zealot]

royal crystals are used only for cosmetics?

[fathom wing]

For people who bought LA on steam, you already have lost ark unlocked and ready to download when pre download starts?

[cedar wharf]

doesnt matter, everyone will unlock everything eventually. Also drops should be enabled for the entire directory now.

[spiral thistle]

No, various things. Blue Crystals boxes e.g.

[willow rapids]

Alright thanks

[cedar wharf]

yes

[fathom wing]

Yea I am still waiting for my steam key from Amazon

[trim hedge]

Anyone know if guild logos can be changed when created? If so what are the costs ?

[novel wigeon]

Thank you for the response! Still sad that I might not get to use Korean for my name tho.

[civic loom]

hello, a question, the power pass will be available as in the beta after doing the story of vern ?

[edgy granite]

I hope we can just redeem amazon keys on our steam accounts

i don't wanna create a new account just to play the game

this is horrible

[spiral thistle]

We don't know yet.

[maiden locust]

You can

[elder grove]

Hey guys, have a question, if I buy the gold pack from Amazon can I use it on Steam? Or how does it work?

[edgy granite]

So i can just preload with the amazon key and play with something like ExpressVPN without the need for a new account?

[maiden locust]

Yes. You can

[subtle steeple]

lost ark is only on steam for na ,eu

[fathom wing]

@elder grove did you get ur key yet?

[olive cairn]

Pretty sure there were instructions in the news articles @edgy granite so id just follow those. Looks like only one extra step but yea

[oak scaffold]

will the server affect which people I see in the open world? or just guilds, islands

[elder grove]

I havent but was wondering what would happen if I do

[cedar wharf]

yes you can only see ppl on your server int he open world

[elder grove]

Thank you

[oak scaffold]

will the AH be for each server, or will I have to deal with millions of other people looking at the AH?

[rotund flare]

AGS does not endorse the use of VPN's.

[cedar wharf]

[oak scaffold]

Ty @honest kindlenoto thy

[maiden locust]

I think you will need a new account

[olive cairn]

Cross server. See the bot post above

[fathom wing]

@elder grove it’s just gonna be like what you do when you buy steam games on other websites. There will be a enter the code on steam

[maiden locust]

millions of people looking at same AH is better for you, trust

[clear needle]

is the game going to be free-to-play after the launch on friday?

[cedar wharf]

yes

[edgy granite]

No company does lol

[elder grove]

Aighty, just wanted to make sure :p

[oak scaffold]

I didn't like it in GW2 TBH. Also not in Wow (fairly low pop) , but in LoA there are only few servers = many people per server, so I hoped for an inbetween.

[trim void]

AH is cross server, so every server in the region has access to the same AH

[surreal zealot]

is GvG important?

[void totem]

With the game launching through steam over here, do we need to make an extra account anywhere? Or are we expecting it'll just launch straight through steam?

[maiden locust]

only if pvp is important to you

[cedar wharf]

no its pretty niche and there is also GvE if you want something to do with your guild that is competitive but not PvP

[languid pond]

from what I understand its fairly dead in Korea

[rotund flare]

It is a steam game.

[oak scaffold]

Ah thanks for the explanation

[rotund flare]

GvG is popular in KR.

[void totem]

Unsure if it launches a launcher from steam though, like a tonne of other games do

[trim void]

It doesn't

[fathom wing]

@rotund flare don’t you need to link your Amazon account to your steam account ?

[void totem]

Thanks!

[languid pond]

ah then I have heard mixed messages then xD

[cedar wharf]

no only on the website for support

[fathom wing]

Oh

[rotund flare]

It is considered a highlight of the week by many in KR. ^-^

[cedar wharf]

here is a nice video about guilds, GvG, GvE etc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3gGIrf2gOw

[cedar wharf]

and just as many ignore it completely

[finite wharf]

any benefits from installing LA into the SSD?

[fathom wing]

Gonna be hell of a work balancing all these classes in pvp

[cedar wharf]

is there a game in existence that doesn't load faster from an SSD?

[finite wharf]

Some games you barely notice it.

[rotund flare]

Faster loading. That is the purpose of an SSD.

[cedar wharf]

but its not getting worse

[rotund flare]

Help I'm lost. How do I link my lost ark account - how do I even create it . does it mean the steam?? - for the legends of lost ark event..

[maiden locust]

link your twitch account to steam, in the settings

[ashen scaffold]

I've got a few friends that are curious, how does this game fair with Controller gameplay?

[edgy granite]

did anyone get their amazon key yet?

[steel thicket]

they'll probably release it in 2.5 hours

[stoic shard]

no 😦 im also waiting

[shrewd portal]

is custom arena pvp also equalized? Or only the ranked 3v3 with randoms?

[tawny hearth]

every gold guide I find is about selling things on market, but where does that gold comes from? there's no activity which rewards gold?

[olive cairn]

Dailies and weeklies

Mostly weeklies

Dont know what guide you're looking at but its not a good one if its telling you "just merch"

[maiden locust]

@shrewd portal all arena pvp is equalised @tawny hearth almost everything you do gives you gold

[shrewd portal]

cool, thanks

[spiral thistle]

Una's Badges, Abyss Dungeons, Adventure Island(s), rng room in Chaos Dungeon. Those will be your main incomes in our release.

[oak scaffold]

Thx I'll try

[surreal zealot]

only PvE matters when choosing your main, right?
because for PvP your progression does not matter

[oak scaffold]

This is correct. You get 26 then all are even.

[surreal zealot]

so when choosing main, you pick solely based on PvE?

[oak scaffold]

Headup: They even plan to do implement such as moba and ffa

[shrewd portal]

open-world pvp is not equalized, so not entirely true

[slate sphinx]

!release

[midnight flax]

TSRappa, you need to wait 25 seconds to use that command again.

[surreal zealot]

is Open World pvp important?

[spiral thistle]

Not really

[shrewd portal]

afaik the rewards for winning island gvg are pretty good

[spiral thistle]

Yeah and it's also whale territory

[kindred token]

Hardcore can compete but ye t party won twice now against chinese whale but ye 2 vs 44 record

[half carbon]

2 wins 44 loses

[shrewd portal]

you talking about KR? Is every server dominated by whale guilds there or just the most popular one(s)?

[prisma summit]

does anyone know if u can buy character extension slots as f2p? or is it real money only? also same with the 30 day crystalline bonus

[rotund flare]

You can buy royal crystals with ingame gold.

[kindred token]

Ru it mostly 2 whale guild that dominating 1 server. Kr is probably more competition or more like multiple whale guilf

[prisma summit]

appreciate the response ! ty

[kindred token]

But ye ru recently dethroned 1 whale guild for 3 weeks in a row now

The other guilf still undefeated

[spiral thistle]

No you can't

[tulip plaza]

Blue crystals yis

[fierce cipher]

anyone knows if u have platinum founder pack are u able to get plat skin on one char and the gold skin on other or are both bound then on the first u create?

[rotund flare]

oh shit is it blue crystals

[rotund flare]

Blue crystals*** not royal crystals! sorry!

As the bot says it's adjusted for your timezone

[mystic dome]

BruV you can’t tell hours?

[finite wharf]

DMed you

[maiden locust]

i can we just dont use PM and AM so it confuses me abit

[tawny hearth]

seems gunsliger is the most popular class?

[mystic dome]

No Sorc is

Sorc Bard Paladin and a few others

[short lantern]

Is it possible to do all of leveling duo?
And
If a friend is going Pally, what would be a good duo class to run with him?

[mystic dome]

You can but certain aspects of the story are solo instanced

[finite wharf]

Berzerker maybe, or Gunlancer

[mystic dome]

Any dps is fine @short lantern

[tawny hearth]

kinda painful, on beta most missions were instanced and every time we finished we were at different channels

[finite wharf]

But yes any DPS will do

[maiden locust]

is shadowhunter ranged or close range like berzerker?

[tawny hearth]

heard there were some twitch drops I should keep an eye about, any info on that?

[mystic dome]

Mixed? iirc it has some ranged skills.

[finite wharf]

Crown twitch channel

[maiden locust]

oh so i can comabine abilities?

as i wish?

[mystic dome]

What do you mean?

[vagrant crystal]

guys will we have a free power pass boost on launch?

[maiden locust]

like use skills i want and do that play style?

[mystic dome]

Probably. But it’s not like there are 30 skills and you choose the 10 you want.

[maiden locust]

aight cool we'll see tomorrow

[tawny hearth]

is it today?

Check schedule, it starts tomorrow, at least in my timezone.
