#CrownArkWeek Founder's Pack Update:

Twitter · Feb 5, 2022, 4:04 AM

[finite wharf]

I told him the one I know was giving Limited number of founder packs

[short lantern]

See tweet.

[finite wharf]

I know

[bitter dawn]

hey guys is there any indication about server selection for tomorrow based on population and language perhaps?

[finite wharf]

They're still giving them away

[short lantern]

A lot of streamers are offering founder packs as give aways, however, Crown is the last twitch chnanel I'd be supporting after the shit they pulled.

[finite wharf]

Watching it for free with no sub. Couldn't really care tbh

[mystic dome]

Get

[finite wharf]

Only in to upgrade my Bronze pack.

[trim void]

We don't know, they have said they won't be selling power passes at launch, all we know is that Roxx said that there will be ways to earn free power passes ingame, this has been done in other regions during event periods that if you have completed certain points in the story you get a free power pass token during the event, keep expectations at a low and don't expect constant free power passes.

[fathom wing]

What is a power pass ?

[short lantern]

Didn't I read somewhere that we get 1 Power Pass for hitting max level?

[mystic dome]

That was in beta.

[trim void]

That was for the beta.

[short lantern]

But didnt the Beta ALSO just give you 1 Power Pass?

[trim void]

it's what the paid boost service is called

[fathom wing]

Oh I see.

[mystic dome]

What

[trim void]

Yeah that's is what we said, you got a power pass for completing vern in the beta

[split summit]

Is it too late to refund my current founder pack to upgrade?

[rain meadow]

no?

[vital cosmos]

When is it possible to download the game ? They said 7 february but I can't download it on steam page for some reason

[raven coyote]

Did you buy it on steam? I would say no. But if you didn't know already, all the founders do stack together so you can technically buy them all

[vital cosmos]

ty

[split summit]

I kind of just assumed that I would have to wait for my refund to be processed before I could upgrade

[copper crest]

In another 2 hours I think the preload time was

[maiden locust]

not late, go refund

[raven coyote]

@split summit If you don't want to buy multiple packs, I bet you could return one and while it's still processing, should be safe to buy a different one

[split summit]

Ok thanks guys

[copper crest]

Wonder when Amazon will send the code

[split summit]

this is what i read, r u sure they stack?

[rustic musk]

Hey guys I am pretty new to last ark and did not play it yet.
I am a little concerned about the p2w aspect. So I would like to know is there a considerable p2w aspect
Or are f2p players also able to get all content just slower

[trim void]

Yes stuff stacks

[raven coyote]

Thanks @trim void I was looking for that same post

[light zealot]

f2p players can get everything @rustic musk

[tawny hearth]

can I lvl up with pvp?

[maiden locust]

dont worry, there will be few whales, but thats good for economy, more demand

[rustic musk]

Ty

[steel thicket]

That depends on your definition of “win”. Pvp is equalized. Pve… well, does it matter if other players clear certain content earlier than you? If it does matter then yes it’s pay 2 win, if it doesn’t, the no it’s not.

[rustic musk]

What do the whales whale though? What do they buy?

[maiden locust]

materials to upgrade faster than you

[rain meadow]

gold and costumes

[rustic musk]

OK tyvm

[steel thicket]

But to me, WINNING is about cosmetics… and if cosmetics are locked behind cash, then yes this game is p2w to me

[viscid pasture]

What class has the most fun or technical kit? Would it be gunslinger or blade, something else?

[rain meadow]

then buy the cosmetics off of the AH

[fathom wing]

@viscid pasture bard

[slate zephyr]

no.

[odd raft]

will slen have also a lot of players or is it a server thats dead on arrival?

[mystic dome]

Blade is most fun and beautiful @viscid pasture

[arctic copper]

gve is a guild pve content right ? and gvg is a guild pvp content ? is there any mix of it in lost ark ?

[vital cosmos]

Does any of you knows how much time it takes to steam to refund the founder pack?

[slate zephyr]

no server will be dead lol, matter of fact maybe they will have to add more
since lots of ppl are ignoring servers with big streamers etc.

[fringe hinge]

Anybody here played russia or kr and used potato laptop? I have 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 , 8gb ram, Intel UHD Graphics. Didnt bought the founders pack because I dont know if potato can handle it

[sly depot]

Where can I see all the classes we will have in release

[slate zephyr]

yes there's GvE and GvG

[fathom wing]

@slate zephyr which server is the big streamer server?

[gritty swan]

they said 9 am pacific time. does that mean if i live some where more west in united states i can start at 12

[slate zephyr]

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

[sly depot]

Ty

[trim void]

if you refunded to your steam wallet it can take up to 24hrs to be able to use the money again, if you refund back to a card or paypal their processes take over and that is usually up to 7 days

[fathom wing]

@gritty swan if you are somewhere more west, you will be in the ocean

[rain meadow]

you still start at 9am pacific

[vital cosmos]

I see, thanks

[slate zephyr]

too much of a mix bag sadly...different for every region too, and lots of big streamers are holding off on announcing till start of headstart launch
Some has announced already like asmon.

[light zealot]

Does the northern lawmaker set come in pieces or is it all one outfit

[rain meadow]

asmon announced? o_O

[dense fiber]

which server is he on? literally the only one im trying to avoid lol

[fathom wing]

Where is asmon playing?

[odd raft]

kk because big german server will prob the most toxic one so i go slen

[light zealot]

Like can you unequip the helmet

[short lantern]

Seems like most streamers are playing on Azmen or whatever its called.

[vital cosmos]

What happens if I can drop a founder pack on the Crown's Twitch, could I give it to my friend ? Or is it only usable by me ? (Which is why I wonder if I should refund my actual founder pack that I purchased)

[median gust]

I have not looked into the game much aside from classes because i want to enjoy the adventure of learning as i go. I plan to play on launch tomorrow. I really like the look of the gun classes. Does anyone have an opinion on which one is a good beginner gun class?

[gritty swan]

asmond said a server with a a. think its either 1 or 3 forgot

[trim void]

it will probably be 2/3 pieces and the weapon skin

[maiden locust]

surely will get a random pack out of 100k+ viewers

[slate zephyr]

Asmon is going NA East; Galatur. Don't blame me if he changes last minute lol.

[fathom wing]

I see

[dense fiber]

thanks for the info ❤️

[fathom wing]

I’ll make sure to avoid it

[short lantern]

He;'s already changed it.

[slate zephyr]

should be in 3 pieces at least, helm, top and bottom.

[rotund flare]

Any of them. Artillerist is the tankiest, but you have to deal with projectile travel speed at times, which might require some mechanic prediction.

[light zealot]

Thanks

[rain meadow]

I've heard three different servers for asmon lul

[slate zephyr]

did he?

clip?

[short lantern]

Yeah, hes going Azena with all the other bigwigs.

[vital cosmos]

Thanks for you answer, very helpful ^^

[median gust]

I am usually drawn to fast attacking classes, any gun classes that fit that?

[timid sable]

quick question - is the server you pick account wide, or per character?

[maiden locust]

Im sorry

[rotund flare]

gunslinger or devil hunter(demonhunter? DH?) EDIT: DEADEYE! ITS DEADEYE!

[gritty swan]

he changed it cause friends going to a diffrent server

[rain meadow]

per character, more or less

[slate zephyr]

has someone clipped it or was it not on stream?

[gritty swan]

forgot which video but he said stoops and some other people playing on a server with a a name

[slate zephyr]

each server is their own progression....guess you could call it character lol, but you can make up to 24 chars per server as well.

[rain meadow]

only 2 A named servers

[short lantern]

https://www.twitch.tv/saintone/clip/InterestingDarkSwanPJSugar-JwFmK7_DnMV5SisQ?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time

[timid sable]

Thanks. Was just curious, wanted to make sure I could play with friends easily. So, we can't transfer gear across then i guess? unless we're able to transfer the toons

[short lantern]

Theres a clip.

[slate zephyr]

5 days ago....

5 days ago Asmon still was saying Galatur

[rain meadow]

you can transfer gear to your toons on the same server, not sure about same region, but you can always try to use AH for that

[short lantern]

I mean, at the end of the day. If you're planning on following Asmon, you deserve server queue time.

[slate zephyr]

no, no, ppl wanna know where he goes to avoid it

[maiden locust]

best EU server tho?

[slate zephyr]

maybe just stalk his twitter guys, alright move on now I guess.

[gritty swan]

yeah azena will be a dead server after like 3 months. either that or market board will be screwed to help streamers

[rain meadow]

||chadan wei||

[slate zephyr]

#lost-ark-discussions try asking there ty

[rain meadow]

the market is regionwide tho lul

[gritty swan]

can imagine people just giving asmongold free loot and gold

[maiden locust]

zinnervale, kadan and thirain are the main eng eu servers

[lusty quest]

Best server to play east?

[maiden locust]

not sure how often this chart has been updated but I found this

[maiden locust]

there are few posts in Lost Ark forum, anyway ill give u a community made doc with that info if u want

[slate zephyr]

the situation is ever changing....seems lots of ppl are avoiding zin now, due to french guilds moving there.

[maiden locust]

french is moving to zinnervale?

[slate zephyr]

there's so many different charts and google docs

[maiden locust]

i heard most stuff is cross-server so doesnt matter

[slate zephyr]

check the pin

cause I forgot the command

[rain meadow]

!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

[maiden locust]

there u go

[gritty swan]

it matters when streamer guilds get free gear from fans and they top of guild charts

[slate zephyr]

trading gear directly requires another hard to earn currency(unless you whale)

[rain meadow]

let them fight it out then, its whatever

[slate zephyr]

same with trading/sending gold

[rain meadow]

peons? lul

[slate zephyr]

yes Phones

[gritty swan]

i believe fans will whale for streamers. at least tier 3 subs will

[short lantern]

https://www.twitch.tv/zackrawrr/clip/ArtisticBreakableSowLeeroyJenkins-p0JFU704nCqsYvSO?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time

Asmon clip from 4 days ago because you need a clip thats less than 5 days old, and from the man himself.

[maiden locust]

why the f are french moving to zinnervale

[gilded zephyr]

what happens if you "accidentally" bought both platinum and gold pack on steam? do they only activate higher one and refund the other? would like as little guessing as possible for answers, thank you in advance.

[mystic dome]

What does it say

I can’t listen

[short lantern]

Azena, like I was saying

[finite wharf]

Were there Platinum Founder Packs given away last week? Or are my "friends" just wasting 100€ for them?

[mystic dome]

You get both @gilded zephyr

[maiden locust]

since 2 days ago lot of guilds moving to Zinn XD

[maiden locust]

all my friends bought the 100 ones

[maiden locust]

why did that happen

[finite wharf]

On my side it's weird they would spend that much. But I believe in anything now

[gritty swan]

i bought gold silver and plat. you get all the items except stuff like titles. you would get 2 northern armor sets

[regal walrus]

where is this pic from btw?

[light zealot]

Does anyone know if my northern lawmaker avatar get bound to the first character I create on launch?

[mystic dome]

No. The char that opens the corresponding box.

[light zealot]

So I'm fine to make a character that isn't the class I want it on first?

[rain meadow]

whatever packs you have purchased will "bind" to the server of the first toon, iirc

[mystic dome]

Yes

[gilded zephyr]

ok, so both packs will, be activated, ty

[light zealot]

Alright thanks

[gilded zephyr]

ill keep that in mind

[maiden locust]

Make sure to choose the right server and class for the packs

[fierce cipher]

can i when i have the plat pack get the northern skin on another character or do i need to pick plat skin and northern on only one?

[slate zephyr]

he said "might" and "I dunno", still not a solid confirmation, anyway just wait for his twitter or pre-stream announcements, move on ty

[maiden locust]

can be different class

[rain meadow]

they should be different boxes

[short lantern]

Got it, can't stand to be wrong.

[fierce cipher]

nice thanks

[maiden locust]

https://lostarkive.com/guides/lost-ark-complete-server-distribution-guide/

[regal walrus]

cheers

[gritty swan]

does the northern armor chest have a expiration date. might want to save it for a class later like deystroyer.

[rain meadow]

i think the northern lawmaker and plat skins are only valid for launch classes

[slate zephyr]

correct, future classes will get their own packs

that should include those as well

[gritty swan]

dang

[slate zephyr]

or they get sold separately later etc.

[rain meadow]

but there's always the possibility that they release more outfits for the future classes, that are in a similar aesthetic to the northern lawmaker

[maiden locust]

they have exp date

[slate zephyr]

the northern skin is base Archetype

they are not subclass bound

[rain meadow]

oh

then just pick it for warrior, if you want it for destroyer

[slate zephyr]

we dunno this without seeing it ingame, because you generally can keep special event packages unopened forever.

[gritty swan]

k sounds like a good idea

[timid orbit]

how is levelling in a duo, does everything flow well or should you just do it solo? are you often dragged to different continents cus you're different classes or is it generally quite fine? thx for an answer 🙂

[maiden locust]

I heard from others, but yea its not official

[rain meadow]

im pretty sure you just follow msq until 50 lol

[median gust]

i am us east and a friend is us east for lost ark tomorrow. Does it matter what realm/world we pick within us east?

[cedar wharf]

Tbh just do it solo, the big story pieces are only solo and the game will constantly put you in different channels

[rain meadow]

at 50 you do your awakening quest, which is probably different

[slate zephyr]

if lvling from the start to 50, you'll have to wait for friends, cause there's story instances that will split you guys up. But generally still fine if you guys are ok going at a slower pace.

[timid orbit]

aight thx :). side question how scared are you guys of massive queues tomorrow and going forward? seeing how amazon did new world lol

[rain meadow]

tomorrow shouldn't be too bad

11th is judgement day

[slate zephyr]

nope doesn't matter what server, only region/realm matters.

[gritty swan]

unless going to top 3 servers then rest good. ny guild picked karta

[cedar wharf]

We are sure they have enough servers on stand by if shit hits the fan

[rain meadow]

are we really sure though

[lusty quest]

Best server to play on east?

[slate zephyr]

the official wording sounds like they do, it's generally not hard for them to just add new servers, like they did for KR's launch lol.

[short lantern]

They said yesterday that they already have enough servers lined up.

And they also mentioned that "Technically, all servers are infinite"

[median gust]

what realms are expected to be good for na east

[rain meadow]

technically

[slate zephyr]

NA east is the realm :P, just go with w/e server.

[short lantern]

So technically, everyone can go to Azeme.

[median gust]

do i need to be same realm to bein the same guild as friends?

[rain meadow]

same server

!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

[maiden locust]

u can check the community made doc to get an idea

[light zealot]

Is this correct? trying to find out what server I should play on if I want to make sure friends are able to join after headstart

[slate zephyr]

well same region too .

[tawny vault]

can we use special characters in our name?

[slate zephyr]

somewhat outdated I think, I remember seeing newer version of this one....
but then again, there's like a billion different charts and docs

[light zealot]

@tawny vault Nope you can't

[rain meadow]

all the data on who's going where is probably out of date at this point; plus it accounts for, at best, 5-10% of the probable lost ark population

[tawny vault]

so thats fake news?

[slate zephyr]

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

only for german, spanish and french

but special characters like #^%& are not allowed

[light zealot]

@rain meadow I don't really care about who goes where I just wanna make sure I'm on an english server with space for friends on it

[gritty swan]

lets be honest if a streamer has to wait for a que they will change servers.

[slate zephyr]

space is not a issue, there's hardcap is fairly large

[fathom wing]

@light zealot you should care because streamer server are probably full

[rain meadow]

NA east will most likely be english speaking on every server

[wary escarp]

Streamers get paid sitting in queue they won’t care

[rain meadow]

space is up in the air as of right now

[slate zephyr]

queue shouldn't even happen for the headstart imo

[rain meadow]

^this

[wary escarp]

There will be though cuz so many people

[fathom wing]

It would be even worse to have a queue when you already started

Now you can’t even change servers

[slate zephyr]

you can change server, you'll just have to start over again

[gritty swan]

it would if the streamers picked the first server or close to it so basicly fans and randoms will be going into the server.

[fathom wing]

Yes my bad that’s what I meant

[slate zephyr]

yeah that's unavoidable, but they got all the tech sorted already, they know what it's like with mass queueing like sometimes on KR server

[maiden locust]

quite likely they will close full servers to divide population

[slate zephyr]

if anything it will be just a few short hours of queues, then it will equalize

and only on Azena from the looks of it

[latent scroll]

Pretty sure max said yesterday they have priority queue.

[timid sable]

what do we need to link to get twitch drops? just steam to twitch?

[versed silo]

It’s definitely gonna have problems, KR has it capped on many servers

[fathom wing]

I wanna be in priority queue !

[rain meadow]

afaik yes

[gritty swan]

asmond and other streamers can't get into game cause all their fans clogging up server so they move to low pop one lol

[covert ridge]

queues are per-server or region wide?

[slate zephyr]

that's not for joining the server(concurrent playing), that's for new account entry/creation(hard cap).

[maiden locust]

per server

[half carbon]

any recommended guides for leveling routes for +30lvl?

[slate zephyr]

follow MSQ, till Arthetine's last zone, then do some side quests.

[half carbon]

sorry?

[oak scaffold]

Any other opinions on which server to join? After reading 3 websites and knowing the server population I'm still not decided :/

[slate zephyr]

Main Story Quest, once you get your boat, MSQ becomes Blue World Quests. @half carbon

[chilly monolith]

Hi, imma Dutch LA player and too bad the game here is forbidden due lootboxes ish. However i want to play LA so bad!.. Can someone help me outside NL/BE with making an LA account? Please message me!🙏

[half carbon]

oh yea that's what i mean

just do all blue quest then? any order?

[oak scaffold]

Yes I help you one edit second

[slate zephyr]

any is fine, though ppl usually go mokoko place, china then desert

[oak scaffold]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJLQUHwkKgk he adressed this 2 days ago. solving it. good luck

[short lantern]

TLDW: Get a VPN

[slate zephyr]

Just please note things may still change for launch, and those methods could break.
It's not a 100% guarantee, as the servers are not up for testing.

[chilly monolith]

Thanks imma try that🙏

[hexed copper]

Heya just wondering the Launch date/time for F2P players?

[maiden locust]

did you check servers info doc? btw most important mechanics are cross server so

[oak scaffold]

he didn't say so, there are more deetails that he surely is interested in when having that problem.

Already tried that. VPN doesnt work with steam. They somehow see youre on a vpn

[dire fiber]

are raid bosses fairly scripted in this game like in ffxiv, where you know exactly what mechanic is next?

[rain meadow]

you know their moveset, what they use in what order is random

[gritty swan]

i mean most mmo its scripted unless to some degree

[misty tree]

There are fixed mechaincs however they also have random mechanics that occur

[finite wharf]

So it's like FFXIV, there x mechanics they get used randomly in battle.

But you know the cues for them

[rain meadow]

never played ff14 but probably

[gritty swan]

keep you on your toes and not microing everything

[dire fiber]

so the order of mechanics could be completely different each raid?

[rain meadow]

yes you know the cues

[finite wharf]

Yes, just like FFXIV

[dire fiber]

but in ffxiv you basically know exactly what mechanic is going to happen at what time during the raid

sometimes like 2 swap

[rain meadow]

well there are definitely some that are based on phase

[crisp birch]

Can some1 point me to prequest needed for knowledge transfer? cant find it on RU :<

[misty tree]

Do the quests in ur estate

[gritty swan]

think of if boss fights were like monster hunter. we know all the monsters moves but not when they will use them

[tawny vault]

will lost ark have a copy and paste feature for putting in ur character name?

[crisp birch]

TY, i'll try that. Main estate quest line will point me there?

[heady fern]

bit of a specific gameplay question i've not been able to find an answer for:

how does the 65% damage reduction from madness interact with damage reduction from other sources, like we'll meet again's 28%?

is it additive to a cap? if so, what's the cap? are the amounts calculated independently in a specific order from the remaining damage?

thanks

[maiden locust]

lmao, well yes you can do that

[buoyant kraken]

"Kirito" considered the same name as "kirito" ?

[misty tree]

Theres only a few quests in ur estate just do them all

[rain meadow]

probably?

[slate zephyr]

yes, you can copy/paste stuff from outside the game and put it into the game, eg. char creation screen names.

[tawny vault]

tyty

[rustic musk]

I saw a graph with server population earlier. Can some1 post it again ? 🙂

[buoyant kraken]

and "Kiríto" ? asking for all the weebz 🙂

[half carbon]

tytyty

[maiden locust]

idk if i can paste links so i pm u XD

[rain meadow]

it's not super accurate, and definitely out of date lol

[buoyant kraken]

still the loss of "xXx Kirito xXx" will be hard to get over ...

[slate zephyr]

there's like many different ones, mostly all say different things

[strong storm]

we will have to relog/restart game when servers open up right?

[slate zephyr]

please stay on topic, this is not a general chitchat channel, go to #lost-ark-discussions for that, ty

[abstract forum]

what things are now weekly in t1?

[nocturne goblet]

hey guys how can i contact a GM?

[slate zephyr]

dunno if you can even start the game before headstart time

[slate zephyr]

a Guild Master?

Game Master

[nocturne goblet]

someone who can help me with a region problem

[rain meadow]

probably send an ingame support ticket then

[buoyant kraken]

what is a recommended way to look for social guild for someone new to game playing solo? is there something like guild finder in game or do people spam in chat or how is it usually done?

[slate zephyr]

go to Amazon Discord https://discord.gg/amazon-games , but you can just ask here @nocturne goblet

if it's about the IP blocking, they're not gonna undo it

[hoary pendant]

hi, if i buy gold and plat pack do i get multiple skins and pets ?

[rain meadow]

yeah

[maiden locust]

Vpn is ur fix my friend

[slate zephyr]

yes there's a guild finder menu

[placid otter]

What is the difference between normal/hard legion raid is it just the HP or the mechanic is also changed?

[slate zephyr]

yes to both

[nocturne goblet]

but i thought amazon supports israel region ._.

[slate zephyr]

don't think they ever announced support for middle-east etc.

[maiden locust]

Dont think they do

[nocturne goblet]

well fuck me i was so hyped, and idk if i will pay for vpn

[cedar wharf]

No Israel is not officially supported

List is here btw https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/game/faq

[junior geyser]

What's a good char at launch that doesn't have a complex rotation and does great damage solo and in a group. Something that will also be good in solo content not too squishy? Thanks

[heady fern]

can you make your name not a . please?

[slate zephyr]

same as before, nothing as changed I'm assuming you already know stuff about the game.

[raw atlas]

I know its not guaranteed, but i tested this method. Copied and pasted the cus files after redownload to test. It does load in the presets but when applying them I think it says it's corrupted and would I like to delete.

I dont speak russian when I tested this but it does show another window that deletes the preset after i load it in. Am I the only one getting this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPA7dl9Y5as&t=2s

[fathom wing]

@junior geyser any of the warrior class will do fine

[slate zephyr]

Will be changed soon later XD

[rain meadow]

well, paladin is a support, pls don't play dps paladin 😦

[heady fern]

why not now?

[slate zephyr]

you need to edit the region name inside the file, edit with like notepad++

[raw atlas]

Yeah i did that with Visual studio code

unless i must use notepad++?

[slate zephyr]

uhh notepad is more then enough

change RUS to USA

[heady fern]

my beta presets could be loaded in RU when i changed the files to "RUS"

[white slate]

how does the powerpass work? can u only get it once?

[raw atlas]

Yeah, ik. But i wanted to test copying and pasting once downloaded. Redownloaded RU, set it to RU from the files (or didnt change it) and tried to load it

so when I get to USA ill change it then before hand

just to get the feel of it and that happened

[broken harbor]

Can i as an European play on NA?

[rain meadow]

yea

[half carbon]

how to do this quest? xd

[cedar wharf]

Power Pass is a paid level 50 boost, apparently we are going to get some for free. We don’t have any more information than the clip in #announcements

[broken harbor]

Amazing, cuz my friends are from na. 😄

[slate zephyr]

click on the wall in front of you....

[half carbon]

oh lol ty

[rain meadow]

brace yourself for the ping, and glhf

[grim summit]

Hey guys is there a poll which server you want to choose?

[narrow summit]

How can we earn founder's pack ?

[broken harbor]

U can watch streams tomorrow to make chance of winning a founder pack.

[rain meadow]

buy one, get gifted one, or win one from some giveaway

[hallow oxide]

guys, do you usually want extremely populated servers, or an alright one?

[maiden locust]

if im not wrong each time u reach 50 with full story with one char u have +1 pass

[narrow summit]

Tomorrow ? But isn't the early access starting tomorrow ?

[edgy granite]

anyone else seeing this on their amazon pre order?

"Pre-ordered
Release day delivery: Thursday, March 31, 2022"

[broken harbor]

Yes. But there will be twitch drops/giveaways tomorrow see the lostark website.

[rain meadow]

twitch drops isn't for founders packs

the crown channel stream is for the chance at a founder pack, it's today at 8pm est

[slate zephyr]

yeah founders are not 100% confirmed as drops anymore

they're just gonna give them out randomly or w/e

[rain meadow]

[ionic dock]

Bruh free platinum pack

[sleek stream]

how are you playing already??

[fathom wing]

@narrow summit just wait till Feb 11

[rain meadow]

different region

[narrow summit]

8pm est is 03:00 Am for me :))

[half carbon]

RU

[narrow summit]

Don't want to

[slate zephyr]

dunno why amazon hasn't updated from that placeholder date lol, anyway best just buy the packs of steam instead of waiting for amazon keys....

[sleek stream]

lmao i forgot timezones existed in the world T-T

[tawny vault]

will i be able to copy and paste special characters like " í " into name creation? cuz my alt key doesnt work for the special codes

[charred plaza]

any advice for open the region block ?

[sleek stream]

so RU is fully playable already i guess huh

[half carbon]

for years

[broken harbor]

For a few years lol

[sleek stream]

this is true

[slate zephyr]

as been for years...same with JP/KR etc.

[fathom wing]

@narrow summit best of luck winning a key !

[sleek stream]

i read about that somewhere, i only assumed JP and KR lol

[rain meadow]

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

[narrow summit]

[charred plaza]

i hear it'll banned us

[hallow oxide]

benefits of low populated vs high populated?

[fathom wing]

If only Amazon can send out the keys….

[inland stratus]

do we have a list of worlds bosses locations and drops?

[rain meadow]

i honestly do not know, sorry

[broken harbor]

Ofc u can get banned. Cuz its against their TOS, but hm, played alot on Russian servers and didnt get banned there either so who knows.

[slate zephyr]

take it to #lost-ark-discussions please, ty

[mystic dome]

Russia couldn’t afford to ban non Russians. They needed the playerbase and income.

[median gust]

is there a male version of the sorceress class?

[cedar wharf]

Not yet

[broken harbor]

Well imma risk it if i get banned so be it lol

[ivory plover]

hey, just a quick question regarding the found pack avatar skins. Can i only pick one skin out of the chest or is it for every class / subclass ?

[rain meadow]

one skin

[cedar wharf]

Only one

[ivory plover]

uff that sucks

thanks ^^

[wary cliff]

this says character names are region wide - does it just mean characters are region wide?

[rain meadow]

no

[hard forge]

Does anyone know if you get 50 lvl in Vern if you skip Arthentine side quests?

[long prawn]

Yes just do msq

[cedar wharf]

You have to follow Main Quest

[maiden locust]

!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

[hard forge]

Thanks ❤️

[maiden locust]

refers to just the name, if u get "Bob" name in Kadan, it will be unavailable on Zinnervale

[wary cliff]

ok i see

[slate zephyr]

why? you can't do anything about it on there if you don't play the KR server... or you mean the Korean NA community discord?

[maiden locust]

Are achievements character- or accountbound?

[slate zephyr]

account, but may require new chars to complete most of them.

[bronze scroll]

I plan on making a Gunlancer and Gunslinger, which should I prioritize to be the most useful for teams?

[hard forge]

Gunlancer definitely

[muted garden]

Gunlancer cause it’s easier to play 😏

[fathom wing]

Gunlancer

[cosmic fossil]

Anyone have an up to date NA server list for what's happening in what servers?

[rain meadow]

no

[bronze scroll]

Will grinding be difficult for GL?

[dapper plinth]

I'd be happier to have a gunlancer in my party

[maiden locust]

What about a for example "kill x" acchievement - will the progress reset with a new character

[woeful grail]

Not the NAKR just the KR one, i need to find a message on this discord. Thx if you have it 😉

[slate zephyr]

overall achievement system is shared, that type of achievement is also shared. What I mean by new chars is that there's class/archetypes specific ones, but everyone gets access to the same achievement menu.

[tranquil prism]

Is there going to be a way to transfer guild ownership?

[maiden locust]

yuh

[slate zephyr]

like I said you can't do anything on there if you don't even play on the KR server, it's locked to ppl not on KR server, it requires some tough verification.

[maiden locust]

Nice, so no painful regrinding after changing main. Thanks!

[open perch]

Are there any other servers beside asta where germans go?
I am afraid that asta gonna be super full

[woeful grail]

Ok thanks 😉

[slate zephyr]

just say what you want lol

[maiden locust]

asta wont be even top 3 on eu, ull be fine

[fathom condor]

till when are founders packs purchaseable?

[maiden locust]

11

[maiden locust]

11th feb

[rain meadow]

until official launch

[fathom condor]

thanks 🙂 Was thinking about upgrading to plat from gold. Just waiting for the refund

[maiden locust]

u can get an idea with the community made doc with all the info

[oak scaffold]

Can I download the game this evening wtihout founder's pack?

[rain meadow]

yes

[oak scaffold]

I plan to buy one later

[maiden locust]

yes

[oak scaffold]

what do I need? just steam?

[maiden locust]

in 28 minutes to be exact

yeah

[cosmic fossil]

For NA Servers, what does it mean that Azena is the "PVP established server" or "PVP Hub"?

Isn't there pvp.... on every server?

[rain meadow]

its where most of the pvp veterans are going

[maiden locust]

pvp scrims, pvp focused guilds flock to it

and easiest to find a premade in that server for pvp

[cosmic fossil]

Gotchya

[maiden locust]

also gvg

[oak scaffold]

it's just the guilds, due to it being f2p there will be alot of people on each server doing pvp, it's really not counting in general pvp people, just big guilds and their plan. but then I heard some guilds will even only decide at launch

[woeful grail]

I'm looking for a place where people sharing theirs personalization of characters. Maybe a Specific discord. I know the korean website, but i was looking for more.

[maiden locust]

refers to guilds yeah

[slate zephyr]

premade arena pvp not cross-server yet on other regions, only KR for now that's why. @cosmic fossil

[valid solar]

Hello everyone! Will the install button just pop in Steam in 90min, or do we have to do something to start the download?

[maiden locust]

I dont think theres one

[slate zephyr]

check pin at #gallery-discussion

[maiden locust]

its in 25 minutes

its insane to me how so many people are bad at timezones

[raw atlas]

thats not answering his question tho

[valid solar]

Sure but that wasn't the point of my question

[maiden locust]

we dont know that yet, its prolly gonna be just a download button

[oak scaffold]

perhaps his pc is offset no reason to bully

[maiden locust]

Yes.

Like every other pre-load you will have to relaunch steam when it's available

[maiden locust]

ive had so many people get the time wrong at this point im tired, sorry if i was mean

[zenith sonnet]

If i.e. I play on Zinnervale and some other friends on Asta. Can we do chaos dungeons etc. together? or am I just able to invite people from Zinnervale?

[maiden locust]

Chill out man.

[maiden locust]

check pins

[woeful grail]

Thanks anyways, gonna search for more.

[viscid pasture]

@rancid charm kanon on YT explains it pretty well I beleive

[copper quail]

What part of "open world" is server specific? I don't quite understand what that means. Is that questing in the open world?

[rancid charm]

[maiden locust]

[viscid pasture]

youtuber

[maiden locust]

all open world is server specific

[copper quail]

So if i want to level with a friend, we need same server?

[slate zephyr]

questing, world bosses, sailing, guilds, islands etc.

[maiden locust]

yes

[maiden locust]

Yes

[rancid charm]

found it

[zenith sonnet]

ok thanks thats exactly what I wanted to know

[somber mantle]

can someone confirm my assumption that guild names are unique and can be changed?

[cyan echo]

Raid groups are cross server, but not cross region yeah?

[somber mantle]

nothing is cross region iirc

[viscid pasture]

"You have to know this to gear properly" video and he has a couple specific guides about lockers and cutting stones

[rancid charm]

do you also want them to cross Na EU with kr jp and ru? yes they are only corss server

[viscid pasture]

I never played sorc but those of you who have, is it a boring class? Compared to like gunslinger or something else technical.

[somber mantle]

pretty sure that's not the case

[bitter heart]

[noble coral]

What is the power-pass in NA/EU?

[slate zephyr]

#lost-ark-help message

[slate zephyr]

only for gear(both buy and sell I recall), other stuff doesn't cost Pheons, just gold.

[tight nexus]

i just read something about a power pass in announcements, what's that ?

[slate zephyr]

check the link above.

[noble coral]

Thank you

[novel kettle]

i didnt play cbt but does download button just sort of appear in 5 minutes on steam?

[gaunt light]

Uhh, just wanna confirm, are NA West servers the best for players in the SEA region for now?

[steep portal]

thank you for answering

[slate zephyr]

check your ping at https://www.cloudping.info/
but yeah seems like west is it.

[tight nexus]

on the phone, don't see it or blind 😂

[warm solstice]

anyone knows this class?

[wintry hatch]

anyone know the preset region flag for eu? EUR?

[slate zephyr]

Gunlancer.

nvm, saw it, feed went too fast

still USA

Anyone knows this class?

[slate zephyr]

Artist

[warm solstice]

ah nice thanks

[hoary trout]

any info on which types of players are joining which server on NA East? i'm looking for a large server that is focused on PvE.

[slate zephyr]

too many different lists and some are outdated still(by a few days), it will be fine on any server for PvE since endgame stuff are cross-server.

[hoary trout]

i guess i'm more interested in making sure i avoid PvP servers, and get a server with a large number of PvE guilds.

[gaunt light]

Looks like NA West is the lowest of them with around 250 ping. Thanks for the help!

[slate zephyr]

pvp is cross-server too, except for premade atm....only thing need to worry about is where your friends at and guilds 😛

[bold marten]

hay I was wanting to know if there are any outfits for the sorceress that are show a bit less? I want look like im going into battle not a ballroom or the "club" if you know what I mean. I already looked on google and cant find anything at all because its all about the founders pack outfit.

[hoary trout]

exactly. that's why i'm asking about guilds 🙂

[rain meadow]

you can wear a mokoko suit

[slate zephyr]

np, but umm 250 is imo too large to play properly you'll need under 200 to be even able to do some of the endgame stuff....

[slate zephyr]

guilds are contained to each server, so it doesn't matter. As in there's no way to dodge going to a server with no GvG happening lol.

also you don't need to join a guild to do high endgame.

[hoary trout]

which is why i'm asking for which server i can find the most pve guilds on...

[rain meadow]

https://youtu.be/FLtSIVfHEzk you can look at this i suppose

[hoary trout]

sorry, not trying to be obtuse

i just thought it was a fair question

[gaunt light]

Ehh, I'll give it a try at least, haha. I probably won't be playing too hardcore, so should be alright... Thanks for the concern though 🙂

[slate zephyr]

it will be happening on any server, there won't be any shortage of it, but you can check this doc if you want to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/edit?usp=sharing

[hoary trout]

thank you

[slate zephyr]

every server will have GvG and GvE

[light zealot]

Anyone else not able to pre-download lost ark

[slate zephyr]

restart steam

[tawny crypt]

Restart steam and it will pop it did for me

[slate zephyr]

not even hardcore, but casually you'll notice lots of rubberbanding

[delicate socket]

Can i play lost ark if my country is restricted, but i have a steam account that isn't restricted?

[tawny crypt]

VPN needed rotem

[wintry hatch]

so i change from RUS to USA and it will work for eu?

[slate zephyr]

this game just doesn't work like other MMOs that's all, gl and hf~

[viscid jolt]

Hardest part is picking up a server

[sleek stream]

Is there a chart on the best server for both regions?

[steep cape]

can i predownload now

[bold marten]

ya i already watched that. I just wish i could have a outfit more like the Assassins.

[strong totem]

is it possible too have the voice in german but text in english?

[hoary trout]

thanks for the link, it's helpful 🙂

[small coral]

hi wanted to ask whats the format for the file for preset character creation for deathblade? Customizing_Deathblade_Slot0.cus?

[spring bobcat]

anyone else not able to pre download?

[slate zephyr]

just still do note that doc only represent a small part of the actual playerbase, as obviously not every possible player/guilds are in this discord filling that doc

[slate zephyr]

unknown if a VPN is still needed, wait for headstart for ppl to test.

[hoary trout]

ofc. any pre-game survey is gonna be pretty small. thanks, anyways 🙂

[tropic panther]

hello i have question game still work on dirext 9.0 or only dirext 11? my graphic card have only 10.1 so no can run game?

[delicate socket]

trying to, though I want to pre-order and Im not sure if i'll be able to play, guess ill have to see

[somber parcel]

why my predownload hasnt appeared yet?any1 knows?

[slate zephyr]

[fathom wing]

Alright I got my Amazon code

[slate zephyr]

[steep portal]

[somber parcel]

aw indeed mate thanks!

[sand pelican]

Can try to have the game gifted. I'm in NL and got the game gifted and I'm preloading it rn

[maiden locust]

do you still need the VPN?

[sand pelican]

Not using any rn no

[delicate socket]

[slate zephyr]

it's not named after the subclasses and specially not the AGS server names.
change that Deathblade to Delain or maybe it was Delian...don't really remember lol.

[delicate socket]

Really hope it'll work for you

[fathom wing]

How much space for the game?

[sand pelican]

Nope

[fathom wing]

On steam predownload

[delicate socket]

wait really, are you sure you're from the netherlands then? 👀

[small coral]

[sand pelican]

[delicate socket]

[keen pawn]

[sand pelican]

It doesn't load the store page, but it's in my library preloading rn

[slate zephyr]

about 70gb, 75gb with KR voice.

[fathom wing]

@keen pawn we just got our keys emailed

[tropic panther]

1 hours and dowload ends:)

[sand pelican]

Yeah that's what Im saying

[delicate socket]

bruh I dont want to pay for vpn to play

[sand pelican]

If you get the game gifted from a different acc (got mine from a german acc), you can still just accept the gift and its in your library

You just cant open the store page

[spring bobcat]

ty

[sand pelican]

I cant open the store page either

[maiden locust]

i dont think youll be able to load the game tho

[delicate socket]

Lol i click but nothing happens

[kind pumice]

does the email actually show the key?

[keen pawn]

problem is i bought the silver pack, got the key, then after that i bought the bronce pack to give the key for a friend but still it shows the same key on amazon from my silver pack, thats the problem

[sand pelican]

I'm willing to take the gamble xD It's preloading rn so we'll see if I can actually boot it up tomorrow

[austere palm]

Hey guys. Quick question. Does anyone know when will amazon send out LA codes for preorders? It says on my shit that it'll be delivered on the day it comes out, but I would lvoe to predownload today cuz my internet ain't fast af boi. I live in europe if it chganges something

[sand pelican]

[maiden locust]

[delicate socket]

great vpn, works in 2/2 stuff I tried using, and idk about free i have a friend's account

did info about what patch were on come out yet?

[austere palm]

@subtle steeple Wait really, will try that too, tyvm for the info!

[fathom wing]

No you don’t need preorder to predownload

[serene kernel]

is there voice chat in lost ark ?

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[austere palm]

Damn sweet, luv u guys ❤️

[slate zephyr]

T3 update, but w/e other changes for the server none yet.

[granite niche]

If I bought the Silver pack, is there a way to upgrade to the Gold pack? Without paying full price again of course

[earnest blaze]

Guys can you still get twitch drops if you watch but aren’t connected to lost ark yet? I’ll be watching but I won’t be able to play till hours later

[spiral thistle]

You can upgrade packs. You need to refund otherwise they stack and you get rewards from both.

[spiral thistle]

Twitch drops continue until march so yes

[earnest blaze]

How do they work exactly?

[dusk wadi]

ok i just re logged into stteam and it started downloading

[granite niche]

Thanks, I was worried the refund would be too far away

[spiral iris]

With a vpn?

[subtle steeple]

you need to connect your steam account on twitch to get the drops

[spiral thistle]

Watch stream, get free stuff. Notification at Twitch and you have instructions there on how to redeem.

[sly depot]

pre instillation out?

[spiral thistle]

#announcements

[humble relic]

Are you able to upgrade founder packs if I decide to buy the plat one like a day or 2 after I buy the bronze?

[earnest blaze]

Stream will start at 9 tmr?

[junior dragon]

Can you use beta playtest files to reduce the download volume of real Lost Ark?

[lament mural]

When do i get the key for lost ark on amazon

[spiral thistle]

You can't upgrade packs, they stack. You either refund or buy multiple.

[spiral thistle]

No, it's not the same item in your library.

[humble relic]

Okay so I can buy the Bronze then the Plat and it wont fuck up my account?

[spiral thistle]

Ask Amazon

[novel wave]

what does pvp hub on the Kadan server mean?

[past hinge]

I haven't pre-ordered yet as I want to know the monetization infos, which might be released midnight(I will be asleep). Can I have good night sleep before pre-ordering and make it to the head start? (my release time in about 24hours)

[spiral thistle]

Yes buy as many packs as you want/can afford

[humble relic]

Sick.

[junior dragon]

I was thinking of something like pasting the whole beta file into the actual game one to see if it would locate existing files and just download the rest. Oh well.

[spiral thistle]

Do you sleep for 24hr? If not I'd say yes if they are releasing the monetization information in todays/tonights stream

[subtle steeple]

you can predownload now

[cursive furnace]

play button is grey for everyone?

[subtle steeple]

it's normal

[spiral thistle]

You could try

[dusk wadi]

ofc

[halcyon snow]

wasnt the game supposed to take 50gb? why is steam asking for 70

[dusk wadi]

it unpacks to 70

[slate zephyr]

you'll probably only save like 20gb out of a 50gb+ download lol

[junior dragon]

That's a lot when your download speed is 750kb/s/ Which is why I'm trying to figure something out.

[halcyon snow]

if i manage to find that 1gb somewhere will it use all 70 or hes asking for 70 to have some leeway

[last pike]

Pretty sure they have said before that it won't carry over, and you should install clean from Preload

[slate zephyr]

it unpacks to 70gb

[junior dragon]

Ah poop.

[dusk wadi]

sadly it will take all 70 gigs man

[halcyon snow]

fuckkk ok thanks anyways

[spiral thistle]

Your harddrives should always have 10% free space to keep them healthy dude.

[dusk wadi]

yeah u might wanna delete some sutff

[halcyon snow]

its my 128 gb ssd which i had already previously cleaned and it also has windows

im out of luck ill have to use hard disk rip

[fresh ledge]

for the IGNs tomorrow, can you create 2 IGNs with and without a capital on the first letter? (ex: "Test" and "test") or will it be blocked and you can only have one or the other?

[dusk wadi]

good luck my dude

[slate zephyr]

because there's no cross-server premade yet, so the hardcore pvpers went to there for premades.

[spiral thistle]

First letter is forced capital

[fresh ledge]

gotcha, thank you!

[granite niche]

Are the Platinum and Gold pack's skins the same? do you get all the skins with the gold pack?
Sorry for the quesitons, I'm last minute, haha

[delicate socket]

which class can do this?

[dusk wadi]

uhh idk but it looks pretty cool

[delicate socket]

its like a suckening area

[spiral thistle]

You'll get x2 Lawmaker and x1 Founder. Platinum has both skins will Gold has only Lawmaker

[spiral iris]

Who go the game running with a vpn?

[dusk wadi]

me

even download needs to be done with VPN on... as soon as i turn it off it gives an error and stops downloading /:

[spiral iris]

I remember you said you have the same problem as me how did you solve it?

[steel glade]

Surely the newbie status (72 hour lockout before being able to participate in activities) for joining a guild won't be in the NA launch?

[slate zephyr]

Reaper, the dagger drop is the clue.

[spiral iris]

Oh shit

[delicate socket]

will he be out on release?

[dusk wadi]

re logged into steam and it worked

[slate zephyr]

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

[delicate socket]

do we have an idea when reaper'll be released tho?

[nova marlin]

no, expect it to not be a priority

[delicate dawn]

how many character slots do you start with

[polar fern]

for creating 2 characters, is it possible to create 2 characters without choosing an advanced class for the first, or does it force you through?

[shadow slate]

6

you can buy more

[polar fern]

I want the skin for a character I will be creating 2nd, but it says skin links to first advanced class character

[surreal zealot]

are character names unique per server or per region?

[shadow slate]

region

[cold badge]

Do we have here ticketing # chan?
Steam doesn't let many of us start download Founders pack with the CD-KEY we got from amazon (error occurred app is not release yet)

[oak scaffold]

Hi I have not seen this answer answered in any guide unfortunately:
the Cat pet in the founder's packs: Will it be only for one char, or can I use it on all my account ?

[queen wigeon]

all account, but only for one server

[bright merlin]

anyone got the server allocation link?

[oak scaffold]

oh? that's different to char skin. What about the chest (like at te silver founder), will it be one account or one char only?

[hollow inlet]

Anyone have that Zealsambition guide on transferring preset to steam folder?

[hollow mirage]

guys, do i need a fresh install? because i just pre-loaded the game without it

[oak scaffold]

oh damn only one server, then I can't swap from kadan if its too full^^

[hollow mirage]

and it shows play in grey

[queen wigeon]

Yep, that's true. Once you claim it it stays there

[rose cave]

ofc start is tomorrow

[oak scaffold]

thanks

game seems to explode, can we even play with those queues? xD

[hollow mirage]

the size its showing is 57 GB didnt they said it will be 70gb on disk ?

[sour lotus]

heyyo, hardcore WoW/FF player here - are there any metas that are enforced for high end raiding/pvp?

Are there logs?

Is there a generally accepted tier list for DPS/etc. + difficulty?

[oak scaffold]

Yes this is usual, it makes installation easier. it's only a reservation edit: = temporarily.

[dusk wadi]

prob to re download then... u might be missing some stuff who knows..

[hasty stone]

character build meta is enforced people won't invite you to groups if you don't have the right engravings, no and no afaik for the other two

[maiden locust]

no things like in wow

[zenith sonnet]

is there a list of all the upcoming events where you can get a free pet and other things?

[sour lotus]

what is character build meta? and engravings?

[restive tusk]

Is it still possible to refund a pack on steam? Want to upgrade

[hasty stone]

dps characters need grudge, support characters need the support engraving, things like that

[oak scaffold]

No, it's actualla a modern technology increasing installation speed, I'm not an expert to explain it but I know it's done, in modern games tha tare very big.

[maiden locust]

saying just grudge will make people use it lvl 1, +4 dmg and -20dmg taken

[remote forge]

hey guys, i bought a platinum key on amazon NA but i can't redeem it on steam since i'm on region locked country... what do?

[sour lotus]

what is engraving? : O

[maiden locust]

vpn

[hasty stone]

can read about engravings here https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/resources/engraving-system-guide

[dusk wadi]

oh damn.. how do u even download it that fast? i wanna do that too

[oak scaffold]

yes usually if you didn't play a game (edit: yes on steam) more than 2 hours you can refund your purchase, but I'm not sure here, it can always vary.

[remote forge]

VPN on steam? wouldn't that get me banned

[maiden locust]

either risk ban or not play at all

[dusk wadi]

nah people use it all the time...

[remote forge]

ahh fuck it...

will let you guys know what happens

[bitter heart]

vpn all the way coz i am sure they arent going to release it in india

[remote forge]

first i need to find a vpn

[prisma island]

Are you able to cross over servers?

[edgy granite]

People who keep saying VPN are clueless

[oak scaffold]

? No you download what you need, it just reserves space to easier installate it, he asked about 70 and that's why. It's not actually 70, but you need 70 free space. Got it? Wonderful

[worthy comet]

I want to play support and I am between paladin and gunlancer, which one do you recommend as first character?, taking into account that I will not play support role until later since I must first reach 50 and get equipment. Thanks for help/comment

[remote forge]

what do you mean?

[subtle steeple]

sywo made a video about it , you basically make a new steam account

[maiden locust]

but change steam region and always use vpn when playing, and try to use payment methods from that set region

[dusk wadi]

i see i got it😂

[hasty stone]

if you want to play support, go paladin. gunlancer is great but not considered support

[remote forge]

could you please link me it?

[faint pagoda]

I thought i could paste my char chreation files into the game now but the folder is empty

[subtle steeple]

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

[edgy granite]

You can play with a VPN that is not bannable, you can't redeem with a VPN because your steam region is tied to your account not IP. To switch to US for example you need to make a store purchase with a US payment method. Then it switches your account.

[tawny notch]

I suppose English speaking servers for EU are Zinnervale and Kadan? 😮 Just trying to make sure when I do play I join the right one for the most guilds!

[remote forge]

thanks a lot!

[edgy granite]

Someone said gifting the game works, need more confirmations on that

[worthy comet]

I say support but tank is good too, still better paladin?

[hasty stone]

you should play whichever one is more fun for you, but gunlancer isn't a proper tank like you might think in other trinity based mmos. Bard and Paladin are the support classes

[oak scaffold]

It will be 57 on your system next day (after finishing or restarting of pc).

[remote forge]

so the only way is to create a new steam account from NA? will i be able to play on EU tho even its an NA key? i'm closer to EU

[maiden locust]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?usp=sharing#

[dusk wadi]

wow thats kinda like... magic? 😂

[edgy granite]

I would imagine yes because i don't think the game is region locked from inside, but i can't confirm.

[worthy comet]

ok thanks

[maiden locust]

I see people talking about twitch drops... How does that work? is that only for creators?

[delicate dawn]

is the stream from smilegate director gonna talk about anything upcoming or just a "thanks for playing have fun!" kind of thing

[dusk wadi]

2 options.. either make a new steam acc in the region u wanna play... or stick with ur existing one but make a purchase on steam using the currency of the region u want to play in...

[hasty stone]

wasn't he going to release a new trailer?

[tawny notch]

Thank you! @maiden locust

[oak scaffold]

lol. Well think of reserving more space when building a car. you need space around it to easier connect the small parts. but afterwards the car is rather fitting on the street 🙂

[maiden locust]

link your steam acc to your Twitch acc and thats it, u will receive the drop watching streamers with drops

[dusk wadi]

hmmm thats an interesting example but i get your point

[young nebula]

is there a benefit to making an alt w/ same class as ur main

[remote forge]

i rather make a purchase on steam with a US payment but what counts as a US form of payment... if its card then i can't

[dusk wadi]

idk any payment in dollars then

[edgy granite]

The problem is it's against TOS, you most likely won't be banned but you're putting your main account at risk

[frozen pewter]

we can claim the founder's package when we want or is there a time limit?

[edgy granite]

and it's not payment in dollars, you need to use a US payment method

someone said US gift cards owrk but i am not sure

[maiden locust]

packs are available until 11

[maiden locust]

steam gift cards from 3rd party

[dusk wadi]

any of the available steam payment methods... doesnt need to be card

[edgy granite]

Anyone from a working region willing to try and help with gifting the game? i'll gift you the needed wallet amount. We can try it on the $15 edition

[pseudo silo]

In which server should i go in, EU btw

[west lava]

Does picking a specific server really matter? Ive read for US East Azena and Regulus may be the most populated shouldnt those be avoided then cause they may fill up fast?

[dusk wadi]

does that rly work? i wasnt sure myself

[maiden locust]

maybe u can get an idea: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?usp=sharing#

[hasty stone]

only matters for guilds / playing in world with friends

[civic haven]

Any server advice for EU ?

[maiden locust]

take a look to that doc link

[remote forge]

thanks for the information guys, i'll try it out and let you guys know

[maiden locust]

for example if you have a turkish account ,you need a turkish payment, easiest way is to get a turkish gift card
I didnt test myself

[lost iris]

any way to get the game of my region isnt supported?

[maiden locust]

ty. any streamer recommendations?

[oak scaffold]

yea it's explained to me in a similar way, the IT isn't as simple as it looks to a user. it uses alot of tricks to offer more space (like same hardware but more space), but this makes some first time installation harder, and then using more space during installation deals with it. If you are interested about it there is actual experts, I'm not ^^

[daring zenith]

Does anyone know when the game actually goes live? That's my only question really and I don't see it in FAQ.

[frozen pewter]

I want to know if i can skip my skin on my first character and wait for an another character ?

[dusk wadi]

yeh me neither.. but thanks for explaining it to me 😉

[maiden locust]

you cant use it on later classes, just the released ones now

[maiden locust]

i would recommend you those who have drops haha https://www.legendsoflostark.com/teams

[subtle steeple]

tomorrow 50 min ago

[daring zenith]

[frozen pewter]

ah yes just because I don't know yet who my main character will be

[lusty turtle]

Do we need a code for head start access tomorrow?

[oak scaffold]

the easiest example is when yo look at picture extensions, maybe same quality but less space. But maybe that's a bad example for experts. An actual true example would perhaps be compressing files (win zip or win7).

[maiden locust]

I meant for the classes like Reaper, Destroyer
If you havent decided the class from the current list, then I can assume you can claim the skin later

[somber mantle]

#announcements

[strange moat]

it says Coming 11 Feb, 2022 on steam. If you have the founders pack, will you be able to play tomorrow?

[delicate dawn]

how does this legends thing work? i just choose literally any of the ~60 streamers and watch them until their team reaches tier 4?

[maiden locust]

drops are available 8 to 28

[daring zenith]

According to the bot post above, yes, at noon.

[sour lotus]

Do all DPS classes do around the same damage at the highest level? Are there logs or anything?

[dusk wadi]

ahh that perfectly explains it... i get it now

[modest lynx]

Founderpack skins will only be usable on the release characters, u cant save it for a class that we dont have yet

[somber mantle]

what time I mean?

[oak scaffold]

sure. I wondered too^^

[frozen pewter]

ok thanks

[maiden locust]

8 18:00h CET - 28 09:00h CEST

[somber mantle]

thank you

[clever thicket]

Are guilds size limited on the beginning?

[maiden locust]

there are 2 supp classes, paladin and bard, rest is all dps with more or less tankiness, no dmg logs or anything
game is balanced for every class equally, no meta comps, but having 1 supp and 3 dps is recommended

[maiden locust]

Yes

[modest lynx]

Guilds start with 30 cap limit, can go up to 100, but it takes a long time

[maiden locust]

guilds size starts with 30 ppl

[clever thicket]

So, would be fine to create a guild for my 10 or so friends, and in case we can't grow it well enough on the first few days, change guilds? Or better to join some rando big guild on day one?

[tiny pike]

Just confirming im good to go right? i saw the retry thing so a little nervous

[sour lotus]

So what class does the most damage though? Or are they all the same?

[uncut violet]

If you’re using the Korean voice dlc can you choose to have English text?

[maiden locust]

you’re fine

[robust hazel]

Can you buy upgraded gear from the market or do you have to do the +16, +17, +18, etc. yourself?

[copper crest]

Same for me, as well as the files not being unpacked

[maiden locust]

mostly the same

[robust pulsar]

mine says available on the 11th even though i have a supporter pack, is that correct?

[maiden locust]

Yes

[candid wadi]

i got zero files too, i guess when you play the game it unpacks

[dusk cape]

@delicate socket done with download?

[fallen iron]

I predownloaded. Why the folder is empty?

oh that's a common issue?

[delicate socket]

i wish, only 10gb in

[fallow fjord]

Is preloading and unpacking on a fast m.2 ssd better than just downloading on launch? I have 1gbps internet

[dusk cape]

[candid grove]

Q About Collectibles: If I claim stat potion reward on a character and apply it, will it benefit only that character or all chars on that server?

[copper crest]

Sometimes devs choose to have the game "packed" and unlock on release so they hide files

[delicate socket]

i'll try it out with my vpn, if it works i'll let you know

[hasty stone]

this issue with trying to answer this question is that it is highly situational - for example some classes get bonus damage when attacking from the back, so in fights where they have high uptime on back attacks they might do the most damage, but there will be a lot of fights where high uptime on back attacks is unrealistic. There's a lot of factors like this that make a tier list pretty impossible to make, as well as the fact that the devs balance classes frequently.

[candid grove]

Q About Collectibles: If I have one char on Kadan (EU) and another on Neria (EU) is my collectibles progress shared or they have individual progress?

[copper crest]

Download now, unpacking will be done in a min

[dusk wadi]

im currently downloading it with vpn on... but if its okay for outside region players to download it without habving vpn on it'd be great

[worn salmon]

For receiving the founders pack is the "product inventory" something you access in game?

[sour lotus]

Are there logs for this game?

[hasty stone]

no

[stray knot]

Where can I find the product inventory?

[sour lotus]

How do you know if people are playing their class right? Or how much damage/heals ppl are doing/

[delicate socket]

yes, you can , i turned off my vpn and its still running

[maiden locust]

if someone is playing bad, you fail the raid

[modest lynx]

Product invetory is in the top part of ur game, its like mail thingy

[stray knot]

You can also download it from a Mexico Steam Server. Its so fast there because less people downloader

[stray knot]

ok thx

[solid trail]

Why i can't download game?? I have bronze pack gifted

[maiden locust]

restart steam, and if still not, then its region locked?

[solid trail]

Its in region list

[hasty stone]

I'm not sure. Everything is ilvl gated and I get the feeling that by the time raids become hard enough for this to matter people with the ilvl high enough to do them will be competent with their classes. You can also inspect their builds and make sure they are built correctly

[lament mural]

When do we get to see the Patch Notes for NA EU Release?

[delicate dawn]

will i have to choose an advanced class immediately upon character creation?

[tough charm]

yes you start at level 10

but you can test them

[subtle steeple]

maybe in 7 h when the game director does the live stream

[lament mural]

@subtle steeplewhat livestream?

[alpine meadow]

do u change the full thing in ENG or just part where it says RUS ?

[maiden locust]

they said patch notes are coming today or tomorrow

smilegate director will be in crownchannel stream today at night

[modest lynx]

any idea when that stream will be?

[edgy granite]

Ok i am downloading now. You don't need a US payment method since you can get your key directly from amazon.com

[maiden locust]

2 am gmt+1

[edgy granite]

You just need to create your 2nd account with a US VPN

if you want to buy from steam you can use steam US gift cards from any 3rd party

[wary condor]

anyone has the map eu server nationaility distribution ?

[wary condor]

thank you guys

[weary yacht]

Emergency I need help, I bought a lost ark silver pack for a friend month ago and she decided to get plat and wanted me to refund however I can’t refund it so.. is there a way for her to upgrade the pack upon what she got for a cheaper price?

[maiden locust]

most likely as RU but lets wait patch notes

[weary yacht]

Like 25-26 dollars is silver so around 75ish for plat pack??

[little juniper]

is there any way to get early access for free?

[weary yacht]

Is it possible on her end I mean

[spiral thistle]

No upgrades, everything stacks. Either refund or buy a stacking pack.

[supple crescent]

Has anyone gotten their amazon codes yet

[weary yacht]

Ugh

[dusk cape]

Have you checked your junk?

[tidal oyster]

on 3 diferent build and guide sites is the old one .. that's why i'm asking

[wary condor]

what time tomorrow will the game open btw?

[supple crescent]

I did, nothing there

[weary yacht]

If everything stacks she would get items from silver and plat?
