guns in general. fists

[turbid brook]

Does anyone know if your name gets reserved when you quickly created and delete a character? ie. if I were to create a character quickly and lock in a name, can i delete that character and make another with the same name without fear of losing the name?

[oblique dove]

All of the basic dps classes will level in a similar time tbh (within 10-50m of one another). But fighters and gunners can level pretty fast in my experience

[little lichen]

Guys, quick question, non-stackable buffs apply for the whole 8 man raid of just for the 4 man group that the class is in?

[oblique dove]

Deleted names are held in purgatory until they do a manual refresh at Amazon

[silk needle]

It’s a 120 day wait to reuse the name you reserved, so no.

[oblique dove]

Just party of 4

[maiden locust]

u have ur first boost when u complete ealyns gift main quest

[ocean perch]

no, if you create name X, and delete name X, the name enters a limbo of 120 days. Not sure if this will be true for this server

[turbid brook]

ah ok thank you

[turbid brook]

thanks

[solar stirrup]

got it - i'm planning to main gunlancer but with these free boosts, seems like i should make wardancer or something to level quicker and then boost, maybe scrapper or deadeye?

[next thorn]

are lostark maxroll guides up to date?

[little lichen]

Thanks!

[vital rover]

what's the info on the boosts? you can boost characters?

[oblique dove]

Maxroll guides are good yeah and will be constantly updated @next thorn

[solar stirrup]

we are getting 2 boosts once you hit 50 with a character, that's instant 50, 302 gear

[next thorn]

ty very much

[little lichen]

is it still not recommended to have a class overlap in abyss raids?

[sage galleon]

The power pass give free end game gear?

[arctic walrus]

Is the plat pack worth if I’m going to buy currency anyway?

[vital rover]

ok so once your 1 character hits 50, you get 2 more to level 50 nice

[rain meadow]

you run what you got, all you're missing out on is additional synergies by running duplicate classes

[eager egret]

what is power pass? i dont get it lol

[maiden locust]

Yup and with KT ideally you'll have 4 max levels day 2

[whole knot]

This is from the launch info on the Lost Ark Steam Page: How does character name reservation and deletion work? How long after I delete a character until it is available again? Do I need to play with a character in order to reserve the name or just create the character?
Completing the character creation process will reserve the name for that character. Character names are not automatically released again after character deletion. Releasing names for re-use is a manual process that we will likely run at some point in the future but it is not something we expect to do regularly or start doing in the near future.

[gaunt dune]

Whats the best server to set up on for primary english speaking?

[maiden locust]

Basically complete msq get two free level 50 boosts for free lol

[muted garden]

north america

[eager egret]

holy shit

[gaunt dune]

for EU, NA servers will be too laggy for me

[rain meadow]

kadan, zinner, thirain

[gaunt dune]

not really up for playing with a constant 250ms lol

[muted garden]

client side pve dw

[misty kestrel]

Anybody have the link to the unofficial server population google doc?

[maiden locust]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?usp=sharing# (not population but guilds stats)

[hollow shadow]

i just spend 90 quid on a game i cant redeem in steam wtf amazon. anyone knows if i can refund it

[strong storm]

when do you use a power pass? is it right at character creation? can i use a power pass on a character that i saved a name for already?

[maiden locust]

just check patch notes https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/launch-release-notes?language-picker=true

[formal willow]

Anyone know if there is a way to lock in names early?

[silk needle]

After the completion of the main questing story line, you’ll receive a boost and an additional one if you watch all the cut scenes.

[strong storm]

thats when you GET a power pass, not the process of how you use them

im wondering how to actually use them

[misty kestrel]

check announcements

[strong storm]

also, they removed the cutscene prerequisite

[whole knot]

There is no way to lock in names early.

[maiden locust]

The Adventurers Path can be started immediately after consuming the Power Pass on an alternative character.
This feature compresses the level 10 - 50 segment for an alternative character through a story told by Beatrice.
It will guide you on the essentials and progression, specific to your class, allowing you to re-live the content quickly through the new character.
Completing the Adventurers Path quest chain will equip your character with the gear appropriate for Vern content.

?

[trim void]

make your character quickly other than that no there isn't.

[whole knot]

Hope you can log in faster than thousands of people and make that character

[maiden locust]

Luckily all my names are jank so if someone steals em never lucky lol

[zenith parrot]

Can I trade stuff with my friend?

[formal willow]

Ah okay. Do you know if Regulus or Azena will be the main raid pushing server.

[maiden locust]

yep, no cutscenes needed, now is just for free after using the first power pass

[trim void]

I've no idea about NA servers sorry, might be worth asking the community in #na-west-region-chat

[oblique dove]

‘Raid pushing’ can be done cross server so no need to make your choice based on that

[formal willow]

Right, but joining the guild is important.

[formal willow]

Thank you.

[fast rover]

Make your toons as fast as possible and say fuck it to appearance

[formal willow]

Ya that was my plan.

[zenith parrot]

Can you trade stuff with your friends?

[woven moth]

Yooo frijjj,any idea what would be max gold we could get on first three chars on first day to make 3rd alt?

[lucid grove]

How does the power pass work? Do I use the 2 free tokens we get on 2 alts?

[vale mortar]

Is there somewhere that has a detailed server breakdown that isnt that outdated image in announcements?

[junior narwhal]

Do you have to watch in this timeframe to get the pet?

[south elbow]

power pass does NOT include completed side quests right? just 10-50?

[woven moth]

You get 1 free,use it on alt and then you will get second one and then use it on the second alt you created/wanna boost

[maiden locust]

How many support classes are in the game total?

[maiden locust]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/launch-release-notes?language-picker=true

[woven moth]

From what it's been talking around,supposedly side quests are included

[maiden locust]

yep

[lucid grove]

3 in total 2 we have 1 only in Korea right now we’ll get this 3rd support later on

[maiden locust]

That sucks balls. Wish there was more whens artist coming out?

[lucid grove]

We don’t know id say 6-12 months maybe longer since artist just got released in Korea

[woven moth]

We have no idea,nothing has been confirmed for artist

[sharp vale]

Would it be a wise decision to use a different class to level up till vern and use powerpass on bard? I'm planning to main bard

[maiden locust]

That sucks. Wanted to play support but both bard and paladin dont look fun/cool

[ruby perch]

does powerpass and knowledge transfer differ in where you end up after the boost? or are they all the same

[woven moth]

I mean yh why not,you get 2 free tokens anyways and if you wanna "somewhat" be faster on lvling wise sure

[simple jungle]

i cant preload it, it closes the window

[cursive void]

Does anyone know if powerpassed characters enable one extra knowledge transfer? Curious because we would be able to have 6 characters extremely fast

[woven moth]

I think we still don't know if power pass will let you let's say boost u to T3 or not...Thats the only thing i can think of...As for knowledge trasnfer it depends on how much gold u willin to spend

[sharp vale]

It states up till lvl 50 with Vern gear

[ruby perch]

but u can always use knowledge transfer on those 50 vern gear chars to t3 later right?

[woven moth]

What exactly do you mean?

[oblique dove]

You can boost 12 characters to 302 through knowledge transfer once you hit Vern. It’s not a 1-1 thing until you start trying to boost past bern

[woven moth]

yh this if u meant tht lol

[woven moth]

Yeah it just costs more gold each time u knowledge transfer to higher tier if im not mistaken

Like for papunika is costs around 2600 alone

All together around 7k i think it was

[cursive void]

Since knowledge transfer is a 1:1 ratio on handleveled characters, I'm just wondering if a powerpassed character counts as a handleveled character

Because if so, I could straight up knowledge transfer 3 more alts after I level a main and powerpass 2 alts

[woven moth]

they don't but knowledge trasnfer isn't 1:1 ratio unless as cho said u try to boost past bern

[gaunt aurora]

they shouldn't no, but it's only 1:1 for leveling past north vern(50+ stuff), you get 12 knowledge transfers for 1-50

[cursive void]

Ahhhhh for sure

tyty

[woven moth]

Plus every boosts from 1 to 50 costs u 600g plus then every other stage it costs more and more @cursive void

[cursive void]

I am blind apparently. TY cho!

[oblique dove]

No prob

[woven moth]

Ur all good,happens lol

[ruby perch]

so if u boost past vern, and u use 2 powerpass and 3 KT boost, do u have to manually relevel a new 2 alts or just upgrade the 2 alts to t3 to boost the others to t3?

[woven moth]

No,you can still upgrade 2 alts to 50

[ruby perch]

yea but what about boosting to t3 on the alts

[woven moth]

Basically you have to repeat each stage of knowledge transfer on those 2 alts to T3

So bern 600g,next stage tht amount of gold and so on and on if it makes sense?

[maiden locust]

Anyone got the list of differences between server and region I am talking to a friend n wanna make sure I get it right lol

[heavy pier]

can someone help me, When i try to predownload on steam it justs says 'preparing to launch' and then the little screen dissapears and the store page refreshes.

[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

[ruby perch]

so is the optimal path: level first char to 50 and complete bern, get to tier 3. powerpass 2nd and 3rd char, get those both manually to t3, then knowledge transfer 3 more alts to t3?

[maiden locust]

Ty bb

[jade knoll]

Hi , idk if can ask this here I'll delete if it's not OK
I used a vpn to download lost ark since my country is locked out , but do I need to have vpn always ON while playing the game too or Is that not necessary?

[oblique dove]

knowledge transfering to tier 3 is not recommended tbh, the gold cost is wild for the time you skip

[vocal flax]

which server in EU will be the biggest one? like if i want to choose a server with the most players which one will i choose?

maybe a silly question

[oblique dove]

always on

[dull ravine]

just to make sure - everything except class is changeable after char creation? just need buy a customization/name change ticket?

[spiral wadi]

My friend wants to play Berserker but they wanted to be a female berserker, if they go male, can they change from male to female later on or would they have to make a new character?

[oblique dove]

mhm

[maiden locust]

Day 1
do the MSQ
do shoeshire
hit your islands ((panda one))((toto))((serinity))((shadow tower))((seagull))((dreamgold))
then push your guy
chaos dungeons + guardian raids end of the day
spend all your gold you can get use that gold to get 600 gold to do the knowledge transfer to level alt
go to bed with guy leveling

day 2
4 characters day 2
hit blackfang, freedom island, giant mushroom island, glacier island, starlight island hopefully get to 460 ilvl
abyss dungeons, guardian raids
then go to rohandel

[woven moth]

Well idk abt "optimal path".But the way I'm going to do it is basically get first char to 50 do 1 powerpass then 2nd and then knowledge trasnfer 3rd and then yh just do normal things.As for knowledge transfering to t3 as cho alr said i wouldnt recommend it bc it's way faster to do it manually rather than let it knowledge trasnfer basically

[dull ravine]

sweeeet thank you!

[oblique dove]

new character

[maiden locust]

New char

[jade knoll]

Even if the steam account is from Europe? Like does the game actually scan ur location too ?

[spiral wadi]

Rip, thanks fellas.

[ruby perch]

i see, thanks

[heavy pier]

Can someone help me, When i try to predownload on steam it justs says 'preparing to launch' and then the little screen dissapears and the store page refreshes.

[oblique dove]

if you are netherlands/belgium I believe you will need it always on yes

[jade knoll]

I'm in Morocco (North Africa)

[spiral wadi]

Is there any information on female berserker release or will it be a long time you think?

[woven moth]

yh unfortunatly need VPN

[jade knoll]

But the steam account should be from a europe supported country

[vivid trout]

Can amazon lock down a specific server? Don't want to choose Zinnervale and then my friend can't join because it's full

[oblique dove]

We arent even getting female zerker in korea until late this year, the western release for female zerker is miles away

[spiral wadi]

Yikes, rip.

[woven moth]

I believe they can but honestly no idea.In kr they have some servers locked so who knows

[vocal flax]

which server in EU will be the biggest one? like if i want to choose a server with the most players which one will i choose? sorry if silly question

[woven moth]

atm probably Zinnervale or Kadan

But you also need to be wary you can be in queue @vocal flax

[vivid trout]

MAN i dont want to be split from my friends

[gray vale]

can I buy the founder's pack tmr? or does that cut off today?

[maiden locust]

11th cut off

[woven moth]

founders pack end on 11th

[gray vale]

ic ty

[raw fog]

do gunslingers do the most damage

[hallow trail]

What's a good job that's good for someone that has had hand surgery? Trying to figure out what to suggest to a friend who wants to play but has some physical limiations

[vocal flax]

oh. is that so. But if i make a character on one server it will be locked to exclusively just that server right? so i have to make a decision regarding server choosing 🙂

[oblique dove]

yeah steam acc in supported region + vpn is the only way

[heavy pier]

anyone knows why i cant pre download?

[vivid trout]

Let him rest game aint going nowhere xD

[woven moth]

I think so,idk bout that.Any idea @oblique dove ?

[heavy pier]

When i try to predownload on steam it justs says 'preparing to launch' and then the little screen dissapears and the store page refreshes.

[hallow trail]

Oh he isnt recovering anymore. its limited finger movement

and wrist movement

[maiden locust]

Blue gun lancer very slow pace and can face tank an awful lot :)

with the decrease in leap stones and what not do we still do islands?

[vivid trout]

Ouch I would say summoner/ sorceress

[sage galleon]

can someone teach me about the upgrade system? I heard you get it to +15 then you can upgrade to the next tier?

[hallow trail]

Hmm alright. Summoner wont be out at start, sorc should be tho

[signal hound]

how long do we have until to claim the Crown twitch drop? like to reach the 4 hour watch time

[oblique dove]

yeah queues are server based and characters are locked to their server

[oblique dove]

4hrs watchtime

[hallow trail]

how to get that?

[signal hound]

https://www.twitch.tv/crown

[hallow trail]

Ty

[signal hound]

i meant like, when does the event end?

[oblique dove]

ohh i think its 5 streams over the next week iirc

[signal hound]

ohh ok

[mental mortar]

so i bought a founder pack but the date on steam is still the 11th, bug?

[little slate]

I'm torn between sorc and gunslinger

[olive atlas]

The release patch notes include adding a lot of content since closed beta. Does that nullify the “What to do on day 1” guide videos I’ve watched? Or is it more Lv50+ relevant stuff?

[umbral crest]

Is this accurate? Regarding this

Thought you can’t buy gold too?

[bleak seal]

is guild ownership able to be transferred immediately after creation or is there a cooldown

[muted garden]

anyone got an answer to this?

[vale mortar]

Do I still get drop progress if I mute the stream?

[bleak seal]

yes

[oblique dove]

you use the power pass consumable, then the next time you go to character select there will be an option that allows you to use power pass

[woven moth]

no,you can use it on alr created char

[bleak seal]

you just need to have it open in background honestly

[shadow slate]

can or cant

[north gulch]

You select it on a character created from what i understand

[woven moth]

Yeah,basically it will tell you in backroung when u log in and choose server ur in and it will show u which alts are available for power boost

[velvet tusk]

Anyone know which servers people from OCE should be joining? NA vs Asian

[quick flume]

I'm not finding the name of the extension that you have to install on twitch

[fast rover]

giveaway is over so just mute and 160p it

[charred hazel]

Aaah, alrighty! Cheers for the clarification!

[fast rover]

giveaway not tied to channel points anymore so doesnt matter

[maiden locust]

extension is not available in twitch extensions list, u ll need to wait for tomorrow, if u refers to streamer extension

[woeful chasm]

what is max party size for questing?

[tough tinsel]

can u win anything if your account isnt phone verified for twitch?

[open perch]

hey do I need to make an account on lost ark to be able to get the twitch drop? or is steam link just fine

[bronze scroll]

can we even connect an account for twitch rn?

[woven moth]

4 as far as i know?

[fast rover]

just normal twitch drop pet

[fast rover]

uses steam account for link

[tough tinsel]

is that seperate from the lost ark legends event?

[maiden locust]

just link ur steam acc to ur twitch acc and thats it

[open perch]

Thanks!

[woven moth]

yeah i think so

[fast rover]

separate, called crown week

[tough tinsel]

ok ty, so i just cant get founders with an unverified twitch account

[humble kettle]

So first I Start Story completion with an alt and use the boost for my main char ? Makes this sense or not ?

[woven moth]

you can do that yeah

[quasi elm]

chat is gunslinger quite hard to play?

[fast rover]

Yea no founders drops, we don't even know who/how many won just now so its extra lame

[tough tinsel]

wait how do u access that page

[humble kettle]

The boost will complete all side quests ?

[muted garden]

how do you get to this menu owo?

[candid wadi]

could we get 2 twitch drops if we have 2 twitch accs?

[oblique dove]

from the top: Yes west will have revamped upgrade system. We already know that gold cost to upgrade is reduced in t1-2 from beta (0gold from +1 to +10ish iirc) then 10-50g from +10-15 so the economy thing isnt a concern. you trade for gold with players who put their gold on the market for

[maiden locust]

also those founder giveaways in crown stream are exclusive for US residents so yeah

[woven moth]

Not really,hardest one is Devil hunter or also known as deadeye on EU/NA

[quasi elm]

click ur pic top right and go to drops

[woven moth]

That I do not know 100%,but the talk is around some streeamers such as kanima tht they are but not sure...

[maiden locust]

Anyone knows if the Saphia pet is tradable ?

[quasi elm]

Oke, I'd like something that's pretty good at pve and pvp and it seems like a noice choice if it wasnt giga hard to play

[woven moth]

Just gotta see for yourself ig @humble kettle

[humble kettle]

I need to know if I rush the story with alt first or not and boost the main char to get all side quests done

[signal hound]

where do you see that, im blind lol, nvm

[woven moth]

Yh GS/gunslinger seems like a good choice it's decent pvp and pve and it's simplified.Just takes time with switching factor/mechanic tho

[oblique dove]

you dont complete all side quests, some get completed tho

[gaunt flicker]

Wait so we don't have to see the cuts scenes no more?

[oblique dove]

no you dont

[woven moth]

yh.U get 2 free

Basically you use 1 and then get 1 right after

[bronze scroll]

do we know how long the stream will be?

[muted garden]

tyty everyone

[fast rover]

https://tenor.com/view/flash-flashbang-blind-bright-jesus-gif-13586051

[olive atlas]

What exactly is a power pass? Is it a boost designed for speeding up the progression of alts or?

[maiden locust]

not sure right now, director coming later on tonight.

[quasi elm]

Does Powerpass grant your alts more benefits if your mains at higher stages at progression or does that not matter? Hope this question makes sense lmao

[woven moth]

Yeah.Basically power boost/pass get's you instantly to lvl 50 and ilvl 320(?) and knowledge trasnfer is basically 8 hrs wait.They are both same thing but yh

[fast rover]

boost

[obsidian inlet]

How much p2w is the platinum pack compared to the bronze

[umbral crest]

Nothing is just coomsmetics for cool avatar

[woven moth]

We do not know that yet so no idea...No idea if we can get to T3 using powerpass or not

[steel thicket]

will we need VPN to launch the game in blocked areas? VPN wasnt required to download the game

[olive atlas]

So if I level some random class normally, finish main quest, get the pass and use it on my main target, will the power passed character be higher ilvl, better geared?

[woven moth]

Yes you will need VPN

[umbral crest]

Also what’s that knowledge transfer I read up there?

[quasi elm]

Oke, I hope not then I can just try all 3 of the classes that appeal to me right away lol

[woven moth]

That I do not know,but you should be around tht ilvl on ur main i think

[steel thicket]

what will happen if i try to launch without VPN?

[celest sapphire]

can you get to the required ilvl for rohendal and just skip shushire?

[native rain]

anyone know if the Linux version of Steam runs this ok?

[woven moth]

I mean no idea,there is possibility of getting banned bc it's against ToS I believe

[olive atlas]

I see, thanks. And if I only care for one class, does it make sense to create multiple alts of the same class, so I can get the multiple dailies/weeklies but I don't have to bother learning classes I'm not interested in?

[woven moth]

But 100% not sure...Never tried it without VPN

[steel thicket]

isn't using VPN against ToS?

[woven moth]

Uhm honestly no idea lol

[umbral crest]

You’ll get banned if caught iirc

[candid oxide]

When can I make my lost ark account? Tomorrow?

[oblique dove]

if you truly hate every other class you can make multiple of the same yes. You wont share the armor/item level across them but you will share the engravings and gems

[olive atlas]

So if I can share the engravings, does that make sense on a budget perspective, then?

Or do you mean just the class engravings

[maiden locust]

It would def be more economic

[oblique dove]

you share all engravings you get from the imprint books so its a bit economic yes

[olive atlas]

Ah, so the 2 engravings I equip, using the books, correct?

[oblique dove]

the bulk of the cost is still there tho from ilvl and accessories

[burnt wren]

so what can we do on Crown? Only watch for 4 hours? Do I need to get channel points? Is the giveaway for NA only?

[oblique dove]

yes

[sharp vale]

What would be the fastest mobility class for release? Just wanna use it for life skill alt

[oblique dove]

giveaway is NA only. Watching gives you a pet i believe

regardless of region

[burnt wren]

ok so I dont need to collect channel points or subscribe?

[oblique dove]

nope

[burnt wren]

ty

[woven moth]

mobility wise it might be GS along with DH? idk @oblique dove could u lighten me on this one as well if u know?

[olive atlas]

I see, thanks. Can someone point me to a guide regarding tripods, too? They seem to alter skills.
I don't know any of Lost Ark's youtubers or websites so I can't tell which video is actually helpful and which is just random crpa

[oblique dove]

All the fighters, assassins, +dh/gs/madness zerk will move fast, but you can hit movement speed cap on any character by doing islands

[woven moth]

Tripods in general or like any specific ones?

[twilit smelt]

is this normal ?

[woven moth]

yes its encrypted

[twilit smelt]

i guess it hides the files ?

[olive atlas]

In general, as in do I buy them, do I find them, are they more like engravings etc.

[twilit smelt]

ah ok i unistalled and installed again i thought i messed up somehow lmao

[olive atlas]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uI5ng6Qx05UJ_TqsdZ3ZAq1sUtXK-stGckvA31Wlu_I/edit#gid=0
Also if someone could tell me how accurate/useful this is - I'd appreciate that, too.

[oblique dove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=2jitSdiNx74 this one is solid

[trim sinew]

is power pass used before or after character creation?

[twilit smelt]

there are patch notes why u use a doc

[woven moth]

Was just searchin for tht lol,nice

[woven moth]

After char creation

[oblique dove]

looks solid at a glance

[woven moth]

it will show in char selection which alt/char is available for power pass#

dont think ive ever talked this much in here XD

[olive atlas]

I don't understand the question.

[little lichen]

We no longer need to watch all cutscenes for second power pass?

[severe gorge]

do you guys think server issues/queues will be a big problem tomorrow? debating taking the day off

[olive atlas]

Thanks

[woven moth]

yep.Once u use one power pass you get second one and then thts it

[light zealot]

Does anyone know if you are able to use the power pass on characters that already exist?

[little lichen]

This is what it said the first time I read it

WTF

[woven moth]

Yes you can as long as u already manually lvled one to 50

[oblique dove]

if you are chasing a popular streamer/server you might get a queue, otherwise i doubt it as its founders only

[light zealot]

@little lichen they changed it

[little lichen]

Thank god

[severe gorge]

okay thanks. im going into this game pretty blind, how important is server choice?

[oblique dove]

choose the same server as your guild/friends. other than that it doesnt matter very much

!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

[oblique dove]

thats the specifics

[short lantern]

Question about the twitch drops: Its more than just crown right?

[north gulch]

fixed

[severe gorge]

does region wide mean NA or just US west?

[woven moth]

It's region wide NA I believe

[oblique dove]

NAE is a region NAW is a region

[rain meadow]

west and east are separate regions

[severe gorge]

oh damn

[rain meadow]

take it up with amazon

[eager egret]

what is the good site for most builds with engraving t1-t3 recommend?

[severe gorge]

what is the ping difference like for na west vs na east?

[oblique dove]

https://www.cloudping.info/

[rain meadow]

oregon vs virginia

[oblique dove]

oregon and virginia

[manic venture]

how do i play the early access when i have a founders pack do i have to do something before hand or can i just hop on

[maiden locust]

50 ping for me to NAW and NAE op

[severe gorge]

45 vs 93 for me

Rethinking my decision to go SS over artillerist tomorrow. Does artillerist become more fun in the later levels?

planning on maining demonic/shadowhunter, is there suggested classes to use as alts that can funnel to demonic/shadowhunter well? (not another sh lol)

[woven moth]

If you pre downloaded alr just wait for server launch

[severe gorge]

never found ping to matter much in MMOs but i guess i'll go naw just to be safe

[manic venture]

ok thanks

[hard saffron]

Does anyone know where great na streamers will go? 😦 what server

[severe gorge]

hopefully NAw isnt that much smaller than nae

[delicate tusk]

Is lost ark will be only in steam or will have its own client such as bdo for example ?

[rain meadow]

majority of streamers are heading to na east

[torn nimbus]

hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone knows how many character slots we're going to have?

[oblique dove]

steam

[rain meadow]

6 base, max 24 after expansion tickets

[twilit smelt]

which AWS server are they gonna use for NA- W and for NA-East ?

[rough hare]

Is there auto collect for this game with loot ?or have to click each item individual? also is there controller support?

[torn nimbus]

thanks

[river sphinx]

So, how many knowledge transfer will we be able to use considering main char 50 + 2 battle pass chars ?

[oblique dove]

#lost-ark-help message

[raven comet]

Is there a survey out there for which server people plan on going to?

[oblique dove]

pet loots for you, story gives you a free pet early

[twilit smelt]

ah thats odd, i remember on test i had 154, but this one shows 174 now. Maybe its a mix ? or for the test it was on Cali

[radiant osprey]

Are we getting multiple pets (cats) if we stack founder packages?

[bleak seal]

can guild leadership be instantly transferred

[oblique dove]

its 100% oregon and virginia only

ping fluctuates

[oblique dove]

yeah

[maiden locust]

Yep!

[twilit smelt]

idk i had stable ping for all the duration in the game, its all g tho thanks

[karmic goblet]

thought AWS had a Server in Ohio too?

[maiden locust]

Pretty sure

[twilit smelt]

ah are we allowed to say anything about || vpn || ?

[oblique dove]

AWS has a server in ohio. The game itself uses its virginia server

[twilit smelt]

im not sure if its just TOS about it

[maiden locust]

You can talk about it, but aren't allowed to use it

[twilit smelt]

kk

[tranquil prism]

are the guilds in guild recruitment just praying that they get the name that they said they would be or is there a way to get it beforehand

[candid crown]

Are we able to use alt-codes when naming a character?

[agile urchin]

How much time should I put into the game before I decide whether or not I like it. Is it like a hard learning curve for someone whos never played an mmo or is it fairly new player firendly

[fast rover]

guess we just pretend all the korean streamers arent playing NA

[bleak seal]

ty

[oblique dove]

you can claim a guild name at lvl 1 with gold which is what i imagine big guilds will do

[twilit smelt]

pretty sure that depends on what content u even interested in, if oyu like pvp only you can check it really early, but if u like raids etc you will probably need to see your full power and raids on what you can do (imo)

[north swift]

Which Lost Ark content creator(s) is universally accepted in the Community?

[twilit smelt]

what does that even mean

[umbral hazel]

Have Crown said anything bout the founders pack yet?

[karmic cloud]

will there be more power passes in the future? or if i want to get up and running fast with upcoming classes should I hold one

[olive atlas]

While leveling 1-50 or 1-60 or whatever
Do I even take a glance at my gear and try to get something specific, or do I just wear the literal highest ilvl thing I find on the floor and keep going?

It's usually the latter in mmos while leveling

[long prawn]

cash shop later on

[twilit smelt]

if you mean affiliated with Amazon to make content, look at the ones they are doing work on the official channel

[ocean perch]

you can still use knowledge transfer later on

[umbral hazel]

https://www.youtube.com/c/SywoSan I like Sywo

[oblique dove]

they already did their first giveaway at the start of stream. If you won you got dm'd. If you dont claim y (10? i think) theyll re-roll

[maiden locust]

They don't care. I'm pretty sure they were forced to say it

[ripe elk]

can some1 link me that server list for EU please?

[tranquil prism]

how much money would it cost to get enough gold to reserve a guild name?

[dapper bay]

Just a couple of questions:
1:Can you spam dungeons? Are there dungeons or content in the game that are not timegated where rare drops are obtainable?
2:Are there other plenty of stuffs to do after you expend all of your energy bar?

[mortal zephyr]

ayo so we just gotta watch for 4 hours and we get a cute adorable pet

[oblique dove]

its not really a 'reservation' you just make it before the point you normally could. I dont remeber the gold cost tho but its not alot

[north swift]

For new players, what's the suggested progression checkpoint to aim for in order to fully experience a Class? I'm guessing it should be right before T3 Item level. Haven't decided on a Main yet.

[brave garden]

looks like we don't need to watch cutscenes for the 2nd power pass now

[rough hare]

I see thats good

[west gale]

If you were to overly simplify the differences between the two, is the male gunslinger more sniper oriented and the female gunslinger more shotgun oriented?

[oblique dove]

the reverse

[umbral hazel]

at T3 you get access to stuffs such as tripod which could be a huge deal. But you get a lot of free level boost when you hit 50 so you can just boost alts if you wanna switch

[karmic cloud]

afaik its opposite

[bronze scroll]

is it bad to be on a very populated server?

[rough hare]

Does doing the max chaos dungeons per day change with the prebuy starter packs?? cuz in default it is 2 is it also 2 in bronze/silver/gold/plat?

[ripe elk]

!countdown

[midnight flax]

Lost Ark Headstart begins <t:1644339639:R>

[oblique dove]

you can spam chaos gate but its not like mmos you may be familiar with where you are looking for an item drop. you get the base set early and you do dungeons to get materials to upgrade it. there are many islands/one time contents that will occupy your time

[dapper bay]

Oh I see ty

[oblique dove]

max chaos is 2 yes

[rough hare]

Guardian raids too? for every version of the game?

[oblique dove]

mhm

[west gale]

Okay thank you, I don't remember where I got the idea that it was the other way around

[rough hare]

Abyss dungeon is weekly?

[oblique dove]

main 'problems' would be queues, competing in some overworld quests, competing for life skill materials

[maiden locust]

its like maplestory 2 if you know it

[oblique dove]

mhm

[maiden locust]

what is this reaper class? is it gonna be avaiable on release?

[oblique dove]

no, its an assassin tho

[twilit smelt]

can anyone tell me if they played raids with around 200 ms how bad/good it was ?

[sand current]

does it matter which server you decide to join?

[twilit smelt]

i cant really find any resource with info on how it feels

[rough hare]

THat's a shame so you cant que for a raid whenever you want like as in other mmo for example WOW

[maiden locust]

when other classes like painter, artist and reaper will release?

[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

[bronze scroll]

can you explain the queue thing for a non MMO player. are there only a certain number of players allowed in an activity at once?

[primal vale]

Are shop outfits separated by class or is it like universal?

[rain meadow]

some are universal, some are based on class archetype

[maiden locust]

It's sort of like a queue to get into a game.

[rain meadow]

a line

[hushed musk]

Do you get a power pass once for your account or for every server? Any info?

[oblique dove]

artist and painter are the same class. but we dont know exactly how long itll take for more characters. Typically its about 2mo

[maiden locust]

You know like, "You are 500 out of 1543 in queue".

[maiden locust]

ok ty

[split cairn]

do attack speed increases affect skill animations or does it only affect basic attacks?

[primal vale]

What’s the exchange ratio for currency? Is it gonna be like $10 for 1000?

[maiden locust]

Most likely, yes.

[oblique dove]

if you use a 'stance based' class like GS/DH it can be rough, otherwise you'll be ok

[primal vale]

What’s the average outfit price in shop? Like 20 bucks I assume in the respective country?

[tranquil prism]

Do you know like the general price range? like 5 dollars or something? also how long would it take to get to the point where you can make your own guild by playing normally? 2 hours?

[bronze scroll]

so dont go for the popular ones. hmm

[oblique dove]

ranges from 12ish to 25

[primal vale]

Gotcha

[bright hawk]

How can I use my founder pack to start playing earlier?

[primal vale]

So I can buy a legendary basically off the shop?

[oblique dove]

takes about 2hrs and i dunno on a fresh server it might be like the gold equiv of 5 bucks yea

[maiden locust]

You'll be able to launch the game tomorrow, it's already added to your steam account.

[oblique dove]

wont be there on launch as legendary outfits are for special occasions but yeah

[vale sequoia]

You ever waste 100$ on not being able to preload?

[oblique dove]

yes animations as well

[vale sequoia]

[primal vale]

Cool

[spice igloo]

question for veteran players: how often to the devs give out free power passes? can we expect to get more when new classes are released or should we be saving these for the future?

[oblique dove]

? click ok and itll start pre-load

[vale mortar]

Will founders packs still be available during early access release the next few days?

[primal vale]

I can use steam cash wallet probably right?

[vale sequoia]

it does not

[coral wolf]

They gave one with all the new classes

[oblique dove]

thats strange i got the same pop up and it worked for me

[vale sequoia]

restarting steam and computer do not either

[coral wolf]

I don't know about NA/EU version though

[maiden locust]

yep, until 11th

[spice igloo]

ah, well I'll save 1 just in case then, thanks

[twilit smelt]

what about a caster ? cuz i wanna play sorceress

[maiden locust]

Try preloading from your library

[primal vale]

Is there a wipe for account progress when Friday happens?

[light gust]

When we create an acc do we have to choose our looks first? Or can we just create the name and that’s it? (Also do capitalized letters count as a diff name?)

[coral wolf]

Nope

[oblique dove]

these days they give them whenever a new character drops

[vale sequoia]

there isn't an option to preload

[primal vale]

Aiight

[oblique dove]

thats fine ye

[maiden locust]

yes no and no

[maiden locust]

Because you already have it installed

[oblique dove]

looks like the game is downloaded no? otherwise it would be greyed out

[light gust]

Ty!

[vale sequoia]

it is not installed

[maiden locust]

if u have the grey button u have it installed

[twilit smelt]

ah probably thats why none is talking about it, how is the dodging ?

[maiden locust]

The name is white and the button is grey. It's installed

[supple tusk]

dps paladin

[dark lodge]

can i predownload it? im eu

[maiden locust]

It's encrypted or not unpacked whichever one of those

[river torrent]

is there a minimum char limit for names?

[twilit smelt]

it is , look at your hard drive space, its encrypted so ppl cant interfere wit hit

[oblique dove]

2

[sour igloo]

Is lost ark only available on Steam?

[twilit smelt]

yes

[vale sequoia]

harddrive is the same

[sour igloo]

Kay thanks

[twilit smelt]

well i have the same thing and i can see i have minus 57gb so maybe you forgot how much yo uhad

[vale sequoia]

as it was this morning a good 14h before preload was available

[lilac heart]

hey guys, can i make guild name not show or will it always be infront of my name?

[maiden locust]

Mine is also 0. It's because it hasn't unpacked yet.

No idea why, but yeah.

[vale sequoia]

0 change in free space on any drive

[twilit smelt]

they dont want ppl to data mine

[twilit smelt]

you can delete it redownload it and you will see im right, cuz i did exactly that

cuz i thought the same that there was a problem

[oblique dove]

to to control panel --programs and features--lost ark and delete that then re-download

[maiden locust]

You will be fine on release.

[vale sequoia]

will that mess up my kr and ru installs?

[twilit smelt]

no

[oblique dove]

no just delete the one that says 'installed on 2/7/2022

[twilit smelt]

unless for some reason you put them in the other games forlder to install

[whole knot]

is the platinum pack good value?

[oblique dove]

its $165 ish value

[vale sequoia]

deleting it from library worked

[oblique dove]

nice

[woeful chasm]

what is the most mobile class?

[twilit smelt]

then you will see it again as 0

cuz thats what it did

[maiden locust]

Wait what?

Why

[oblique dove]

that was for someone with a very specific problem

[spice rivet]

Is powerpass available at launch now?? Why are they giving details about it if it's not available

[oblique dove]

not general advice

[twilit smelt]

lol

[maiden locust]

Oh

My fault 😂

[oblique dove]

it is

[woeful chasm]

powerpass is only earnable while playing the game

[oblique dove]

once you get to 50 and vern you get 2 free

[spice rivet]

Oh wtf

[oblique dove]

not for purchase

[woeful chasm]

no

[spice rivet]

Why level bard then, just play DPS and boost support

[twilit smelt]

ez

same plan

[hushed musk]

But do you only get a power pass per account or per server?

[spice rivet]

And I thought they had announced earlier that boosting wouldn't be there for launch

[grizzled grotto]

anyone know which server to play on if in australia ?

[oblique dove]

probably meant paid boosting

[oblique dove]

lots of kiwis going valtan in NAW iirc

[spice rivet]

I guess that's different

[tiny canyon]

so would it be best to manual your alt to 50 then use the powerpass on your main in order to have all the sidequests autocleared?

[edgy condor]

can you use 2 letter names for guilds and how many characters is character name capped at, anyone ?

[oblique dove]

guilds have the exact naming restrictions as names in west as per roxx

[dark lodge]

can i download it now? or it isnt available yet for download

[oblique dove]

you can download

[rain meadow]

you can preload now yes

[edgy condor]

so 12 letters, can i use 2 letters only ? (sry im not sure about the west as per roxx reference)

[primal vale]

is the gunslinger going to be available for males?

[dark lodge]

it is on steam right?

[edgy condor]

or where can i find the naming/guild name information

[cedar marlin]

Will the game be available for founder pack owners at midnight?

[dark lodge]

im on eu but my in my steam store there isnt lost ark for some reason

[oblique dove]

2-20 characters, no spaces/special characters, some accented characters allowed

[coral wolf]

9am pst feb 8th

[maiden locust]

Not in one of the available regions

[cedar marlin]

ight thx

[maiden locust]

!release

[oblique dove]

gunslinger is specifically female, there is a similar class called deadeye which is the male counterpart

[midnight flax]

Pre-download: <t:1644253200:f>
Headstart: <t:1644339600:f>
Launch: <t:1644598800:f>
These times adjust to your local timezone.
https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/launch-details

[primal vale]

Ah okay

[oblique dove]

assuming you are not in a supported region, you need a steam account in a supported region and need to vpn to launch

[dark lodge]

is it gonna be like that forever

or gonna change after official release?

[oblique dove]

most likely yes, amazon didnt buy rights for everywhere in the world

[edgy condor]

@oblique dove thanks a lot man, glad 2 characters is available, just to confirm so i dont stress rules are for both guild and character

[oblique dove]

mhm

[pine warren]

does anyone know how long we are able to buy founder packs for? tomorrow 12pm EST? or the actual launch on the 11th?

[oblique dove]

until launch on 11th

[maiden locust]

Till the official launch, 11th

[mental flame]

can i create multiple characters right away to reserve names or do i have to hit a lvl threshold to make an alt?

[maiden locust]

how many cards do i need for level 5 card?

[maiden locust]

I think so

[mental flame]

thank you sir

[oblique dove]

base card +15 copies

[strong wraith]

just downloaded, is this fine?

[little lichen]

Yes

[strong wraith]

ty

[little lichen]

Files will be encrypted until release

so don't panic if you see the folder empty

[strong wraith]

i see, first time seeing that

[wide lagoon]

Also, is 57 gigs the actual file size

[sullen finch]

if we got the founders edition we can play tomorrow right

[strong wraith]

57 was the dl, install thing said 70

[sterile seal]

so ive read the maxroll leveling to 50 guide. you skip the red quests while leveling too? so its only yellow main quest line all the way?

[remote forge]

surely this has been asked so many times but why does my downloaded files show 0 bytes?

[wide lagoon]

I saw some people getting 70 gig downloads

[atomic blade]

some one explain to me how the 2 free power passes work

[oblique dove]

encryption

[remote forge]

ah makes sense, thanks!

[oblique dove]

main story is all ya need, everything else is for your entertainment

[pliant vigil]

I think we should reserve this channel for AGs because they need all the help they can get 😆

[forest bramble]

where i can find all the list of servers?

[zinc nexus]

Anyone know if we can transfer character creation templates over from RU?

[strong wraith]

another guide i saw mentioned something similar, for beginner players

[olive atlas]

Is this accurate?

[oblique dove]

#announcements message

[olive atlas]

Or is it still best to shit out alts?

[heavy flint]

hey guys, can you trade gold and/or crystals between accounts? also can you directly trade skins? I got a free plat pack but I had already bought one when regional pricing was cheap for my region so refunding wouldn't make sense. I'm thinking of redeeming it on a new steam account and trade everything I can. would that be advantageous?

[sterile seal]

thats what i thought. some guides say skip everything but others say do those exceptions

[strong wraith]

uh the catch up thing is revoked

[wary lintel]

i myself did a few red quests, they barely take 20-30 seconds most of the time

[warped flint]

i have a supported region acc (steam alt) but the download doesnt start when i click pre load

[olive atlas]

AGS giveth, AGS taketh away?

[strong wraith]

mhm, you prolly missed that 10 minutes ago chat went crazy
the first part still real tho
more alts = more mats

[oblique dove]

are you getting an error code?

[warped flint]

no the page just refreshes on steam without the download actually starting

[olive atlas]

I don't know the game well enough to understand why chat had a stroke unfortunately

I think I read t1-t2 items had 100% upgrade chance and jumped 2 levels or something in the patch notes, something like that

[oblique dove]

ah im not sure then, maybe try restart steam and such

[oblique dove]

apparently the editor didnt catch this and it wasnt meant to be included in notes so it got deleted

[strong wraith]

they yoinked that out

[forest bramble]

@strong wraith can u share that guide here?

[atomic barn]

do the character presets from beta still exist on account?

[strong wraith]

i didn't read it that much, it's in #info-dump
here the link: #info-dump message
changed link for proper sauce

[olive atlas]

Ah so it's a catch-up mechanic for new players in the established versions, and in their copy paste, they forgot to take it out for NA/EU notes?

[oblique dove]

if you exported them yes

[oblique dove]

yeah seems like it

[atomic barn]

i wasnt in the beta so rip lol

[maiden locust]

disgusting. Shitcompany, Glad korea got it early

[warped quiver]

Hey, does anyone know what the best server for OCE players might be? I've heard NA west Valtan could be it but figured I'd ask

[oblique dove]

Korea didnt get it 'early' its just that t3 has existed for over a year so it doesnt make sense to start new players in tier 1 forever

[olive atlas]

Tiers are not like in BDO, right? They're just base levels for items?

Like is the lowest T2 stronger than the highest T1, or is there some sweet spots for minmaxing and whatever else

[oblique dove]

tiers are like expansions but they are separated by base item level gear yes

[maiden locust]

System is the same, just no failures

Still takes insane amount of time

[heavy flint]

can anyone answer my question about direct trading? couldn't find a proper answer by googling.

[oblique dove]

lowest t2 is higher than highest t1 yes

[mental flame]

does anyone have the photo of what regions are for what countries?

[maiden locust]

Its like Maplestory 2 rather were you have a chance on something

[olive atlas]

I mean more like, can a Tier 1 item eventually become Tier 3 if you upgrade it enough, or are they all hard capped in their own brackets?

[dusky bay]

is the Crown twitch stream still giving out Founder's Packs? if so, how do I obtain it?

[oblique dove]

you cannot do this

[oblique dove]

hard capped

[olive atlas]

Ah, so eventually the t1-t2 items will be straight up binned

[thick wedge]

how much does an appearance change cost?

[lunar thicket]

hard capped ofc

[oblique dove]

first giveaway was start of stream, if you won you got dm'd

[heavy flint]

as in, can't trade anything directly? not gold, not crystals, not skins?

[olive atlas]

So they're more like low level gear

[narrow meadow]

I understand how alts are used to funnel materials to a main for progression, but do you just let the alt sit at 50? When to raise the alt's item level?

[oblique dove]

gold yes, crystals/skins no

[sinful plover]

in steam it says that the game is coming on feb 11, but I purchased a bronze founders pack, so I'll be able to access it tmrw right?

[oblique dove]

mhm

[atomic barn]

are the prices of char apperance changes known yet

[heavy flint]

alright, thank you

[lunar thicket]

it's normal, tmrw you will be able to get access like everyone else

[oblique dove]

somewhere between $5-10. prob closer to 10 than 5 for west

[atomic barn]

ouch

[lunar thicket]

pretty cheap

not the 50$ bucks on some other game

[maiden locust]

https://papunika.com/growth-guide/ You get stronger as you progress. As in maplestory 2. It just takes time to upgrade

And their system is the trolly one from BDO

[olive atlas]

Yeah yeah, it's more the semantics, what I'm trying to figure out is must one upgrade their T1/T2 to +15 in order to be able to get into content that drops T3?

[lunar thicket]

basically

[maiden locust]

As you need the ilevel for dungeonaccess, yeah logically? As I said how Maplestory 2 works

[oblique dove]

you need to upgrade your t1-2 gear to +15 yes

[lunar thicket]

you upgrade cheap stuff to drop better stuff

[olive atlas]

Ah, so the entrance is ilvl gated, and eventually gear needs to be +15

I see. Thanks

[maiden locust]

but you can be onepunchman on t1 dungeons with friends

[oblique dove]

its story--> +1-15 (dungeons, guardians etc) --> Story --> +1-15 (dungeons, guardians etc) --> story +1-15 (dungeons, guardians etc)

[olive atlas]

Story x3?

[vagrant hearth]

is this meant to be empty?

[oblique dove]

theres a story section throughout each tier of content

[oblique dove]

yes its encrypted

[vagrant hearth]

[olive atlas]

Ah, I thought it was story 1-50 then daily dungeon spam

[oblique dove]

the post 50 story isnt super long but its there yeah. Even now in korea the main story about the arks isnt done

[olive atlas]

I mean, as long as it's not like Division 2 where it's the same exact quests/locations but you get higher tier loot by fighting higher tier enemies, it's fine I guess

[maiden locust]

can you use blue crystals to change ur character's face?

[hallow echo]

hey would someone happen to have a link to where there's official statement on if server queues are by individual servers or for the entire region?

[oblique dove]

ah nah nothing like that, the new tiers unlock new continents where the story will take place

[maiden locust]

But it is.

Idk y u all talk the game so highly its nothing but a mobile farmer lul

[oblique dove]

everyone has an opinion

[maiden locust]

slither best game on the market

[slate jungle]

How long do raids usually take to complete in endgame?

[oblique dove]

learning the raid is a multi hour experience. A 'perfect' raid is 15-20ish minutes until you get to abrelshud in late t3

[slate jungle]

Whats the timeframe youd think for t3 raids

[hardy fiber]

are first time guardian raid rewards per account or character?

[oblique dove]

well according to the director on stream right now on ttv/crown the first new content (argos) is coming in a month and successive raids shouldn't take too long

[hard forge]

close to 20 minute. Except Abrelshud, it heavily depends on how good your team is, with good team Abrel takes 1 hour, with average one it can take 3+ hours

[remote seal]

What NPCs should you build a rapport with? (which are considered the best)

[lethal violet]

Has there been info on guild creation?

[oblique dove]

theres a rapport guide out there somewhere but you can see the rewards for each in game and the 'best' ones are the one that give gold

[maiden locust]

is the card pack in platinum exclusive or can you find them elsewhere in the game?

[hybrid stirrup]

I have a question regarding platinum skins from the platinum founder's pack.

If I want to play as Striker for my first character but do NOT want the Striker platinum skin and instead want another class' platinum skin (Paladin), is that possible? Or does my first character have to be Paladin?

[remote seal]

You can just not claim the founder pack on your Striker

[oblique dove]

exclusive but the effect is pretty garbage ( like 2% dark/light dmg reduction iirc)

[hard forge]

Start with Sasha (Arthentine) > Thirian (East Luthera) those 2 are the best as they give you much gold, Sasha especially since she gives more gold + Giant's Heart

[remote seal]

Ty ty

[hybrid stirrup]

But then what if I want the Nordic skin on my Striker?

[maiden locust]

@oblique dove so basically I will never need them?

[gilded holly]

Hi, how does the power pass work ?

[hard forge]

You create character, use power pass on him an BOOOM instant 50 lvl with rare tier 1 items, that's it.

[novel sentinel]

His Lance Master gonna be available on release ?

[oblique dove]

nope, its not even worth the time it takes to click and equip it tbh. but its a 'flex' thing i guess

[oblique dove]

no

[light gust]

How many chars can we make on 1 acc?

[burnt wren]

so its better to use power pass on alts?

[gilded holly]

If our main is T3, the power pass only boost to T1 ?

[remote seal]

You can only claim the founders pack on 1 character, and after you take it out to open, it's irreversible
so if you want the nordic skin on your striker, then claim the pack

[hard forge]

Default is 6, but you can buy character expansion slot to add 6 more (this ticket is included in Gold and Platinum Founder's pack)

[hybrid stirrup]

Dang, really?

So, just to clarify, if I want the Nordic skin on character A and the Platinum skin on character B, that's NOT possible?

[oblique dove]

you need to do 1-50 to even unlock it in the first place

[oblique dove]

you can do this

[hard forge]

You need to reach 50 lvl with a character to unlock power pass, so yes not only it is better but that's the only way to use it

[light gust]

Do we get one founder pack per server? Or only 1 for 1 server?

[remote seal]

Sorry, just to make sure, the Nordic skin that you want to get on character A is obtainable where?

[burnt wren]

oh ok, so its like an item that you right click or how does it work?

[oblique dove]

each part of the founders pack will come in a chest, you can choose what character you open it on

[hybrid stirrup]

Can you explain please?

[gritty swan]

can you change pet stat buffs

[oblique dove]

yes

[gritty swan]

k tks

[forest bramble]

Does anyone have Server info? when launchs

[light gust]

Is the cat pet random?

[hybrid stirrup]

I don't mean this in a rude way but, do you know that for sure?

[forest bramble]

i forgot the !

[hard forge]

You can have 3 founders pack in each Account, in which server you use it up to you.

[oblique dove]

i know that with 100% certainty

[hybrid stirrup]

Can I ask how? Is that on the other versions of the game or something?

[light gust]

It won’t automatically be put on the first character we create right?

[remote seal]

No, you have to manually claim it

[hard forge]

No you need to manually claim it in game.

[oblique dove]

yes, you get a bunch of chests when you buy something and you take it from your storage and claim it on a character in every region

[light gust]

Can we put it back into the storage if we decide not to open it on that char? Or irreversible

[oblique dove]

you can take it out/put it into storage as you wish. You cannot save founders pack plat skin for future characters tho

[gusty dove]

What was the announcement?

[light gust]

So if we want to play reaper later on, we can save a power pass and use it on reaper once it’s released? Or does powerpass have to be used within a time frame

[forest bramble]

!server

**South America**:

Kazeros, Agaton

[forest bramble]

!launch

[maiden locust]

not much

[light gust]

Why does NA EAST have more servers compared to WEST?

[oblique dove]

i suppose the biggest single topic was argos 1mo after launch

[remote seal]

I heard that you can buy multiple packs? (Like buying bronze, silver, gold & plat all together)

[oblique dove]

bc east generally has more players

[light gust]

Ohh does PING matter in lost ark?

[hard forge]

Well, East side of United states and Canada has higher population, thus more gamers

[light gust]

Also will we be able to server hop later on? Or we’re stuck perm

[hybrid stirrup]

Oh, ok. So, I CAN have the Nordic skin on character A and the platinum skin on character B. Thank you! I'm so relieved.

Can I ask you another question please?

Once the Nordic skin and the platinum skin are redeemed onto their characters, can they be exchanged between the characters in the account? Or are the skins bound to that character forever?

[oblique dove]

ping is fine west to east. dont expect to be able to server hop for a long time

[plucky sinew]

what was the big announcement........

[maiden locust]

No catch up mechanics!

[maiden locust]

literally nothing

Wooo party

[cold mason]

Question about class engravings can you swap them around freely or when you bind it you can’t unbind it?

[patent laurel]

Hi, can someone explain briefly the catch up mechanic that people are mad about?

[plucky sinew]

wtf they said big announcement and it was a jebait?

[maiden locust]

yep

[oblique dove]

the plat skin is bound to a 'subclass' meaning its stuck on a specific character (i.e only GS, only bard etc). The northern lawmaker skin is bound to a class (meaning you can put it on any gunner, any fighter, any assassin etc)

[onyx vine]

Seems like choosing the "right" server is important from the beginning. How do I even know which server is better than another for NA?

[oblique dove]

its much less important than you think

[umbral hazel]

[red lichen]

what exactly does it mean that Azena is NA east's "PvP hub"? I plan on doing a good bit of PvP, how detrimental would it be to not play on Azena?

[maiden locust]

I feel like that's fraud, as its not announced during a beta but in anticipation for the full game

[clear falcon]

Should one care about optimizing engraving or any specific gear prior to the T3 gears?

[oblique dove]

you would be better off watching a guide on engravings as a whole based on your question. the short of it is that engravings can be swapped freely but its a process

[cold mason]

Okey, thank you

[gritty swan]

if i watch say 3 streamers for lost ark program does that mean i get done 3 times as fast

[vocal reef]

No lol

[oblique dove]

when you reach t3 you'll be replacing your accessories and gear, whether or not its worth to you depends on how long you plan to be in t2

[hybrid stirrup]

I'm so glad I asked while you were on! I was super worried that I would have to play as a Paladin for my first character in order to get the platinum skin that I wanted.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

[gilded sparrow]

Does anyone know if there will be character appearance change tokens, or something similar in the shop at launch?

[surreal hollow]

14 hours

[red lichen]

14

[gritty swan]

noon so like 11 am for me

[light gust]

So 1 steam acc = 1 lost ark acc? So if I want to make another account I would create another steam account?

[clear falcon]

I see thank you that's kinda what I wanted to know. Even if it is suboptimal ill use it and be careful about over investing.

[forest bramble]

in NA where are gonna be the most ppl?

i mean server

[sick thunder]

can you buy character slots with blue crystals ?

[oblique dove]

in other regions no its only, not clue for west in particular

[sick plank]

If I’d link my old steam account to a Amazon account my I was playing new world, and now I want to play lost ark on a new steam account, do I need to unlink my Amazon account from the old one first?

[cold mason]

Wait engravings can’t be used in pvp?

[sick thunder]

darn

[sonic gulch]

Does Tunnel bear VPN work for NA/EU server?

[oblique dove]

if you mean arena pvp then no, arena is 100% equalized and no engravings/gear etc

[cold mason]

Holy shit wait that’s awesome

[flint sorrel]

Hey guys just wondering, will completing an island and collecting collectables from said islands carry onto an alt character or would we have to do it again?

[oblique dove]

any island progress is shared throughout the server

every character in your 'roster' completes it at once

[flint sorrel]

@oblique doveAhh okay thank you!

[light zealot]

Do the game files show up after 5pm GMT today, just wondering so I can put my character presets into the customisation folder

[tiny canyon]

so would it be best to manual your alt to 50 then use the powerpass on your main in order to have all the sidequests autocleared?

[oblique dove]

it'll probably show up right before launch and we'll have to unpack. you'd be able to do that then

[tranquil forge]

Can we use Knowledge Transfer on a power pass boosted character to level other char?

[oblique dove]

thats an option yes

[raven comet]

which US east server is recommended?

[light gust]

How did you do your char presets?

[gritty swan]

does it count if i rewatch a stream video worth 4 hours

[light zealot]

I installed RU made my characters and swapped the region in notepad++ to USA

@light gust

[oblique dove]

the base 302 knowledge transfer boost is 'unlocked' for 12 characters as soon as your main hits 50 and does the quest in the stronghold

[light gust]

Ohh whoa smart!

[light zealot]

@gritty swan I believe it has to be live

[tranquil jackal]

do you use the founder pack skin for first character you created?

[red lichen]

regulus and azena are equally the largest servers with azena being the unofficial pvp hub, una is mid sized, the rest are smaller population. at least based off of guild information.

[tranquil forge]

@oblique dove but cant you just boost 1 character with knowledge?

[light zealot]

@tranquil jackal You do not, its in an inventory you have to pull it from

[oblique dove]

the 'one boost per leveled character' applies to knowledge transfers ABOVE 302. not for the 302 boost

[maiden locust]

yes, if you have all knowledge transfer requeriments done

[warped flint]

anyone from eu here?germany?

[vale mortar]

What other streams can I watch to get progress on the pet?

[shadow kite]

Is the game region locked? I have a friend who is in the EU and wants to play with me in NA east is he locked to only playing NA east or can he change the server later on (Not transferring characters of course)

[sonic gulch]

Could any1 help create a US steam account?

[oblique dove]

if you are in a supported region then you can play on whatever region you want. (so EU can play NAE just fine)

[pulsar ocean]

Can NAE servers play with NAW people for raids etc or is that a diff region

[oblique dove]

different region

[raven comet]

whats the best way to join guild?

[sage galleon]

anyone have progression guide?

[red lichen]

check out the guild recruitment channels or this doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?pru=AAABftIO9EI*Z6azBO0a7hIEmumVRkLgjw#

most guilds have discord server that you can just join and start chatting

[errant citrus]

If you make a character, can you still use the name you give after you delete them on another character on same account?

[light zealot]

You cannot, once you delete a char with a name the name is gone forever

[red lichen]

presumably no. theyve stated that the name database has to be manually refreshed to clear up deleted names, which could take a while.

[foggy mason]

Anyone tested that? 😄

[red lichen]

the game isnt out yet, what do you mean test it?

[light zealot]

They stated once you delete a character the name goes to the void, it is gone forever until they find a way of that not being the case

[foggy mason]

In other countries *

[red lichen]

in other regions its different.

[foggy mason]

Gotcha

[red lichen]

not sure why

sadge

[foggy mason]

Probably because amazon is hosting it and they are not known for being good with servers /s

[red lichen]

possibly. theyre naming rules in new world were strict as hell.

[foggy mason]

Oh lol, I was joking but that's weird

[light gust]

Can we change our looks later on?

[light zealot]

I believe you can buy something from the cash shop to change character appearance

[light gust]

Is there anything that is permanent when first making a character? Like height/weight etc

[light zealot]

No

[light gust]

Oh okaybty

[woven moth]

Yes but it will cost you royal crystals

I belive it was around 9-15E/USD in value of RC

[delicate schooner]

hows the lag from playing from a different region

na playing in a eu server

[oblique dove]

check your ping to frankfurt AWS server

[light zealot]

depends on your internet connection

[foggy mason]

Anyone know if you get to wait to redeem the platinum rewards?
Also, are there beta rewards in that game besides founders?

[light zealot]

There were no beta rewards

[delicate schooner]

[foggy mason]

Noice

[oblique dove]

no reward for beta, you can choose when to claim your founders reward

[foggy mason]

Thanks! Nice to know

[wary lintel]

are there things in stronghold that can be crafted/made without gold? so i can have something going on?

[potent shoal]

can i afk fish?

[maiden locust]

no, fishing is interactive meaning u have to click stuff to actually fish

[potent shoal]

oooh gotcha ty 🙂

[still nymph]

Can I upgrade my pack from Bronze --> Gold?

or do I have to buy Gold?

[vocal reef]

While we're on the topic , is fishing fun? That's the most important MMO aspect

[solar dust]

you can refund and buy the goldl

[woven moth]

nope,you can refund and buy the gold one or just stack the gold one on top of bronze

[fallow cedar]

Did the predownloading start?

[woven moth]

yes 8 hrs ago i believe

[maiden locust]

i know the game is not up yet but is there a way to check ping?

i want to check which server iam good at

[honest perch]

what's the release time?

[still nymph]

So if I stack 2 packs, do I get 60 Days Crystaline Aura?

[maiden locust]

tq

[foggy mason]

You can check here.. but it's more for amazon servers
https://www.cloudping.info/

[oblique dove]

yes

[covert panther]

anyone know where the preload is stored on? for steam

[barren valve]

Have they done server merges for KR/RU before in the past? Not sure if picking a low pop server on launch is a death sentence for endgame content if it dies out

[signal hound]

could i hold powerpass forever? and save it for when i decide on a alt?

[nova ivy]

Since we are getting a free power pass. Does that mean, that if I level an alt to 50 first and then use the boost on my main, my main will have completed all the side quests, meaning everything would be unlocked account wide?

[still garnet]

Hi does anyone know if there is a prequesite to creating a guild? Or will it be available from entering the game in the community tab?

[tough umbra]

is this permanent? https://gyazo.com/35c0008003fb9e795a571fc85d390af4

[foggy mason]

Really good question.. let me check

[signal hound]

once you reach first town i believe, and for 2k silver WRONG REPLY, meant to reply to @still garnet

[still garnet]

Yeah ive seen that but other guides say level 15 one even said level 30 so i have no idea whats right and what isnt 😫

In that case does anyone know how long it takes to reach the first town? Just want to get my guild set up asap

[drowsy anchor]

Are guilds character specific like WoW or is it a region thing

[slender yew]

whats the amazon game server website that tests your ping and stuff

[foggy mason]

Might be here: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading

[drowsy anchor]

Ok sick so I can still be in 2 different guilds then since I'm making PvE and PvP characters on different servers

[bronze whale]

is there discord notification for traveling merchant for NA?

[red lichen]

cloudping.info

[slender yew]

tyt

[covert panther]

welp, as long as it's the same case for everyone, that's cool

[true chasm]

what can you buy with royal crystals

[summer bronze]

Does anyone know if you're allowed to pass guild leader?

[foggy mason]

https://www.reddit.com/r/outriders/comments/mh4fx4/preload_on_steam_finished_no_files_in_folder/
It's in /depotcache

[true chasm]

if you buy from amazon does it still run on steam?

[gaunt aurora]

yes

[naive cobalt]

Anyone know if there are extra steps to get access to the game tomorrow? Steam says wait till the 11th to download but i have the founders pack. Will it just let me download tomorrow? or is there a special option i gotta do? (I have never preordered a game through steam before)

[edgy condor]

any idea how usefull this will be: 5 Stronghold Activity Relief Chests(its in plat edition)

[foggy mason]

Just gotta wait for tomorrow and it will open magically

[true chasm]

so there's no difference from buying from amazon vs steam?

[foggy mason]

Nope

[split summit]

Is it too late to get the twitch drop, since stream ended?

[covert panther]

alright ty ty

[foggy mason]

You got the whole week for this reward. It was only 2 hours today

[split summit]

Will there be more streams or do I just watch the clip?

[edgy condor]

Gold vs Plat pack, efficiency question, if i use the 50$ that i save from not buying the plat pack, can i use them more efficiently for items since the plat pack seems to only give more silver, battle items and mainly skins (how imporntat hard are silver/battle items to get) sry for long question

[split summit]

Oooh okay

[novel horizon]

guys how do i pick a server

[visual sequoia]

is the founder pack one large lump?

like if i want to main sorc, but i don't want the founder's skin on them

can i not open it for a while?

[hollow crane]

You can hold onto it I believe

[true chasm]

what do you buy with royal crystals?

[visual sequoia]

but all the other benefits

are the mounts tied to account or char?

[steady tendon]

is there cross server pvp and pve, what cant you do cross server besides guild

[hollow crane]

Can you play the story content with friends?

[little slate]

Sorc founder skin is so ass

[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

[rough frost]

Is pre loading not going to work? I read on reddit that steam is viewing founders pack as only dlc

[obsidian fiber]

are custom matches region wide? Wasnt there some korean patch in anticipation of their new Royal Roaders season where they added more pvp functionality with spectating etc

[kindred token]

Custom is always cross server(region wide)

[mental flame]

does anyone know what the aussie server is?

[raven comet]

what will the ping different if I live in CA playing on east server

[maiden locust]

are wandering merchants server specific or region wide

[vast copper]

80-90

[west idol]

Anyone know how to refund founders pack purchased through amazon? Looking to upgrade

[maiden locust]

no aussie server

[maiden locust]

Contact support

I think

[west idol]

Through amazon or steam?

[maiden locust]

Amazon?

[dull plover]

if you bought it on amazon its through amazon lol

[delicate schooner]

whats pvx

[wary spire]

anyone figured out how to preload your character customizations from like the ru servers to the na preload

[obsidian fiber]

so if tournaments are held on azena i can play from una?

[hazy ridge]

if a friend is playing on another server, is it possible to queue up together for raids and stuff?

[maiden locust]

Can’t do it right now since files aren’t unpacked

[wary spire]

i mean u can stack the preorder bonuses

[wary spire]

ahhh okay makes sense

[undone moat]

is shadowhunter hard to play?

[maiden locust]

.. its a point and click game

[wary spire]

not really

[little flower]

thoughts on soulfist fellas?

[wary spire]

mained it on ru for a bit its fun class pretty fast to me

[maiden locust]

Dragon ball Z

[undone moat]

how difficult is transformation build?

[wary spire]

soulfist u go boom

[little flower]

heavily considering it

[west idol]

yeah but silver is not really worth stacking with another pack right

[wary spire]

i mean it is tbh

[wary spire]

the potions are worth for end game

[turbid meadow]

soooo boosting main vs alt - I might not want to level with bard but idk if I should stick through with it ?

[maiden locust]

Some people have stacked all 4 packs.

[wary spire]

sadly me XD

my plans hold the avatars till everyone uses them up sell big

[west idol]

What's the point of stacking bronze and silver?

[turbid meadow]

ppl just don't bother to refund bronze imo

[topaz pagoda]

are the avatars sellable? In like a player AH or something?

[cosmic garden]

can we create characters on different servers with the same account?

[wary spire]

cause u can market off your avatars, but right now i think they took the founder packs off marke think they nfs anymore

[wary spire]

you can action them off for gold

[wary spire]

same as the packs u can buy in game

[topaz pagoda]

ah nice! well am finding it a hard time to pick one from this list 😐 https://lostarkhub.com/all-lost-ark-platinum-founders-pack-avatars-in-game/

[maiden locust]

You can’t sell the plat ones right?

[kindred token]

If you are in the same region ye(naw and nae count as different region)

[west idol]

Avatars = skins?

[maiden locust]

Yes

[wary spire]

i think all the founder avatars are the same for the packs

[west idol]

wtf it isnt BOP?

[topaz pagoda]

as much as folks liking the Paladin, I have played enough of D3 with collectors edition that my DH with angel wings look pretty much like Tyrael.

[wary spire]

oh i neevr noticed plat has its own special pack it should be marketable though

[maiden locust]

Is paladin actually the best class right now

[maiden locust]

There is no best class. Play who you want

[wary spire]

strikers avater looks like streetfighter

my character name is gonna be ryu now lmao

[maiden locust]

Ino but ive seen some tier lists say its on S tier and others put it on support

[topaz pagoda]

am not a fan of bard's sleeves...do like the berserker's hefty look

[maiden locust]

Yeah it’s an S tier class

People put it on support since it’s necessary in every raid

[wary spire]

lost ark pretty balanced imo

[maiden locust]

Hmm

[topaz pagoda]

am tossing between: Gunslinger, Bard, Berserker. Gunslinger for solo DPS push, Bard for group play, Berserker for easy first toon to understand the gameplay mechanics

[maiden locust]

Okay thanks

Idk if I answered your question

[wary spire]

gunslinger is like jace from leauge but alot more face mashing on keyboard

if u like mashing alot keys then its the class for u lmao

[maiden locust]

U did dw i understand now

[mental flame]

i mean the best one to play on if ur from aus

[maiden locust]

Why its so important

[maiden locust]

Heals

[wary spire]

i wonder how they will handle ques

[maiden locust]

It’s AGS so poorly

[wary spire]

hopefully que not as nasty as ffxiv

[maiden locust]

Hopefully not as bad as New World

[wary spire]

i mean look at new world hm hm hm

[maiden locust]

Hopefully they learned their mistakes and fix it

[novel horizon]

Guys how od I choose a server?

[wary spire]

ooof i just realized i mixed hgun slinger up with dead eye

[novel horizon]

Also I think there was people talking about specific ones being designated for stuff

[maiden locust]

Personal preference.

[grand zinc]

hey guys is there a appearance change ticket in this game?

[cunning jolt]

sorry if its been asked a ton already. how do i do the early download? I bought gold pack on amazon

[grand zinc]

Can I redo character creation later in the game in any way?

[maiden locust]

Did you get an email or whatever it is with your code?

[wary spire]

its amazon u dont

[wary spire]

yes but it will be $10

[grand zinc]

ok

[wary spire]

from what was leaked

[west idol]

I bought from amazon and already predownloaded fyi

[wispy sigil]

Does anyone know the situation of the eu server and the separate split between languages of each server

[cunning jolt]

amazon doesnt have early download?

[wary spire]

idk im not sure it should have details in your email though

[light gust]

Can we respec stats? Or only skills

[grizzled shore]

anyone know if lost ark founder packs can be claimed separately between servers if we purchased multiple?

[wary spire]

We recommend that you purchase the game on Steam because the game will be added to your account instantly. If you do it through Amazon, it may take some time before you get the key in your email. If you purchased it on Amazon, check your email on that day because you’ll receive a Steam key to be able to download it.

got it from a blog

[wary spire]

https://lostarkive.com/news/lost-ark-release-and-preload-information/

[sonic gulch]

Any1 from US can help create a steam account?

[maiden locust]

Do you need to pay to play today?

[wary spire]

yes or wait till friday

the free to play launch , even if u pay 15$ u still play today
