Hope so, we also have some őúóüíáé

[blissful vector]

Sørenstrøm here we come

[crimson ledge]

German letters are allowed, so these are probably too

[spiral thistle]

It's in the pins.

[crimson ledge]

So only supported languages, bummer.

[atomic gulch]

Aaa crap

[blissful vector]

rip nordic names

[lyric ginkgo]

What is the daily alt cycle like in terms of gameplay? If I make a ton of bard alts will I suffer from slow kill times or dailies are mainly queued dungeons?

[spiral thistle]

Dailies are fast regardless of class.

Your dailies are completed in under 1hr per character with Bifrost teleports set up

[deft owl]

what were the drops for the recent post by LA twitter? i dont have instagram so i cant view the vid

[cosmic wagon]

Any subclass suggestions for someone who wants to play a fast paced classed with large numbers? I was thinking about shadowhunter, because I dont want to be eforced to hit from the back

[misty tree]

Gunslinger
Reflux sorceress

[spice sky]

yo does someone know if your char name is server restricted ?

[maiden locust]

region

[misty tree]

Region

[spice sky]

thanks

[timber panther]

Does any one know if there is a difference between the 3 major servers for us east?

Or are they all the same...

[violet elk]

If I recycle a +8 item onto a new 340 piece, it'll boost the 340 piece up in ilvl right?

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[violet elk]

So should I immediately enhance my gear once I hit 50?

Since I can keep the enhance rolling

[spiral thistle]

There is no reason not too. W/e you are doing afterwards even dailies even if you don't unlock a new section you just power creep to make things go faster.

There aren't routes really. People just look at rewards and decide for themselves what they want.

[pearl chasm]

I'm sorry people but I have a question and I'd like to have it answered before I choose. In the platinum founder's pack you get two skins, one you choose based on the class that redeems the pack and one northern-styled for all classes. My question is, is the northern-styled skin bound on redeeming it or can I give it to my alt?

Since I'd like to have the platinum skin on one character and the northern skin on my alt

[spiral thistle]

You choose what character gets what

[pearl chasm]

Oh is that correct? That makes my life so much easier! Thank you!

[undone moat]

what happens if you invest on a main for about half a year, and a new class releases how does your progression carry over?

[maiden locust]

Can’t sleep

[worthy shale]

How important are wandering merchants?

[flat vapor]

is there any news on which EU servers are for english only?

[undone moat]

kadan is a good eng population

[spiral thistle]

It doesn't. You might get boost event to progress faster.

[maiden locust]

news about this are like a month old, kadan, zinnervale, but its only discord which is like 5% of playerbase

[flat vapor]

Shouldve clarified, is there any official news*?

[maiden locust]

no, all english officially

[flat vapor]

ah i see

[storm socket]

damn only 5.5h left and still can't decide between scrapper, soulfist and sorc

[worthy shale]

choose all 3

[storm socket]

yeah but at least need to start with one as "start main"

[granite niche]

That is the way

[worthy shale]

You arent going to really invest in their gears any differently from one another in the beginning

you have through t1-2 to really decide on a main

then itll cost you more and more the later you decide

Also, classes are being reworked this year so keep that in mind

[rough hare]

From which level can you do you co-op? If both start play game can you start together?

[trail ice]

What do you think if first of all just bring up an alt and then boost the main by powerpass ? Will receive Solve quest prizes ? i mean will i loose something? Because i want to bring up an alt and then boost the my main hero pala

[brave willow]

what are the things i should be dismantling straight away to keep my inventory space in check?

[storm socket]

then question, which one has the higher skill ceiling?

[worthy shale]

Theres this rare card you want at lvl24...In some stream it was recommended to level to at least 24 before powerpassing a character

[spiral thistle]

Right after prologue if you decide to do that. If you skip you can group up instantly.

[tawny hearth]

so no need to play all cutscenes?

[rain meadow]

no need

[worthy shale]

correct

[kindred token]

34 not 24, solas

[spiral thistle]

Can just do that on create and delete characters. No need to level the one you actually power pass. Just wasting time imo.

[worthy shale]

gotcha

I mean you need 30 of them

[kindred token]

16...

[worthy shale]

your info is different than my info

we talking about the 7% crit?

[spiral thistle]

I understand why people would give that advice but I kind feel it defeats the purpose of saving time if you are wasting time leveling for a single card that you could just do the same on a create and delete character. Literally 0 difference

[kindred token]

Yes what else card at 34

[keen condor]

what is best approach when it comes to life skills? Can u do them all on main character or is it better to train them on alt/alts?

[spiral thistle]

Life is shared between all characters

[rough hare]

How long is prologue?

[kindred token]

And who do borea set 30 is not just solas....

[worthy shale]

Do life skills on a more mobile character so you can move from node to node faster

[spiral thistle]

Too long Dno though, maybe 30min or so

[keen condor]

which is the most mobile class?

[kindred token]

Your info does sound like someone havent play the game

[worthy shale]

lol i got my info from Kanon

[kindred token]

Ye and kanon tell you to get 30 solas

[nova marlin]

even if you have founders on steam it still says available 11th right? or do i have to do something extra

[kindred token]

....

[spiral thistle]

Also just poor tip imo. Can just grab full Swiftness random accessories instead of forcing yourself to play a mobile class because of some running around doing Life.

If you have any pack, you'll get headstart. Don't listen to Steam.

[keen condor]

what rewards do you get from playing PvP arenas?

[lament mural]

So when I create a character do random looks I can change it for 10 euros?

Afterwards

[crimson ledge]

Yes

[lament mural]

Okay I’ll prolly do@that

Need to secure some names

[storm ridge]

Question about EU
We have this server to language assignement, but Im not interested in playing on any server with foreign dominant language.
Which server is the biggest English-dominant server?

[crimson ledge]

Not sure if it's going to be exactly 10 euros but people are saying something arount 8-10$

[lament mural]

Well whatever it@is

Will it be available instantly

On game launch?

[light zealot]

No one can know that for sure

[fleet tulip]

Noob question but when you're selecting skills etc, if you pick the wrong one or want to change, is there a penalty or can you unassign the points/skills and pick new ones as you wish somehow?

[light zealot]

You can reset all skills for free at any time

[worthy shale]

you can always change skills and their tripod effects

[fleet tulip]

thanks

[worthy shale]

I would also watch a video on tripods because later on youll have gear that contains tripod skils that can be moved between gear in different ways

[fleet tulip]

I'll look into it now, thank you

[delicate ether]

How many gigabytes is the game?

[surreal mango]

does the crystal aura stack day wise if i buy the different founder packs ? did i get a mail item to activate the aura ? and/or is it possible then to buy multiple bronze/gold/platin founderpacks

[delicate ether]

If I get the 15 dollar one I still get early access right?

[light zealot]

Yep

[rain meadow]

ye

[crimson ledge]

Any pack

[rugged pelican]

I’ve heard a lot of the game is cross server. How will it impact me if me and friends play on different servers OTHER THAN not being able to run around in open world

[light zealot]

Idk if you can queue with friends from separate servers

[spiral thistle]

That is pretty much the only difference

[rough hare]

Is it even worth 15 dollar? the 30 day aura seems rather borderline useless....

[spiral thistle]

You can through group finder

[maiden locust]

Nope. Its basically maplestory 2

[surreal mango]

cant be in the same guild

[maiden locust]

Wait 3 days.

[sly moss]

!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

[delicate ether]

Is the silver pack worth?

[light zealot]

Worth is dependant on the person buying it and what you consider worth it

[rough hare]

I mean they also limit so much content, eveyr thing is ONCE a day or TWICE a day bla bla bla. so done with content drip

[haughty drum]

can you name your character as the class name? e.g. sorceress?

[maiden locust]

Youll only run one dungeon anyway.

[delicate ether]

Wait wdym?

[spiral thistle]

We don't know if that is blocked or not.

[sacred escarp]

is there any pinned post or good guides on how do I access Lost ark if I'm region locked? (am on Philippines/SEA)

[light zealot]

@delicate ether I believe the silver founders pack is the best money for value one you can buy

[haughty drum]

T_T

[still birch]

if i dl the game from another region can i play it on the eu servers or nah?

[spiral thistle]

It's most likely instantly taken if it isn't anyway like all English and Korean names for the classes

[delicate ether]

[rough hare]

end game content is all one or twice a day........ then you have nothing to do basically then meanial tasks it seems.

[maiden locust]

Anyone having an issue with pre-loading, it pops up the preload thing but doesnt download\

[light zealot]

@still birch Wdym, like download the game in USA and play on europe?

[still birch]

ye

[light zealot]

Works fine

[still birch]

k just wondering

[red verge]

is that fox pet available as a drop at the moment or should i wait after launch to start watching streams?

[sly moss]

thats why you make alts

[light zealot]

Progress could've been made on it during the crown stream yesterday @red verge

[solar dust]

just watch and play and u will get one later. i got like 2 hours

[spiral thistle]

When starting fresh there are millions things to do and complete besides dailies/weeklies.

[light zealot]

There's more than enough content in the game than just the daily stuff.

[solar dust]

takes a while before we get there like months and months

[rough hare]

True. but im talking end game. and dailies /weeklies is precisely the bad thing im trying to adress. content drip..........

[spiral thistle]

What? You got over 100 islands to visit, entire adventure tomes to fill out, timed content every day multiple ones.

[rough hare]

Is there?

[solar dust]

im referring to "end game" it can take some people over a year.

[spiral thistle]

Well Argos is after 1 month, then another month for Valtan.

[tiny mesa]

It's worth buy platine and gold pack ?

[light zealot]

Depends on what you consider to be worth

[sly moss]

if you have the money to spare sure

[mellow owl]

Can we buy several pack ?

[maiden locust]

.. you get more gems for the money

[crimson ledge]

Yes. Some items stack.

[tough flint]

Anyone who has the founder packs are they able to launch the game through steam yet?

[heady canyon]

Does gunlancer taunt effect raid bosses like abysal or anything like that? Like you can fully take the agro of the boss to your direction?

[maiden locust]

anyone knows about the captcha issue on steam?

[void totem]

The game will be installed and launchable in about 6 hours now. Right now it's not possible.

[tough flint]

Ahh okay ty!

[spiral thistle]

In Abyss yes. Legion for small bosses usually work but not main boss.

[craggy mirage]

will the guild be with the ppl u raid with or will raiding be like in other games where u will have a static for that?

[worthy shale]

thats probly up to you...

[mossy iris]

Did they say what time the daily reset is? EU

[gleaming sphinx]

1 or 2 am

[heady canyon]

So it works on the small mobs but not on the main boss right?

[modest star]

Do the servers go up at the same time for all regions?

[atomic gulch]

yup

[spiral thistle]

That is for Legion only. Any other content taunt works fine on bosses. It's still only for 3s and bosses gets internal taunt cooldown where they are immune.

Argos probably can't be taunted too. Dno. But that is Abyss Raid and not Abyss Dungeon

[north swift]

How big of a significance is having two or more of the same Classes? I plan on playing Gunlancer, Paladin, and Sorceress but if same Class Alts are big, I’d drop Sorc for another GS.

[sly moss]

its mostly used to interrupt a boss pattern/attack in stuff like guardian raids

[spiral thistle]

It's economical to play same class but it's also weighted vs how much you enjoy playing said class vs playing multiple classes. The benefit is very much there.

[lost pine]

Hi, this game not avaible for geforcenow?

[gleaming sphinx]

noper

[maiden locust]

can people from asia other than japan play the game upon release or no

[spiral thistle]

[jagged kindle]

for the founders people on steam, it still shows the 11th for yall right?

[slow delta]

Hey I am just wondering if someone from Us west servers can play with Us east people in any forms of content?

[spare star]

yea

[jagged kindle]

Alright

[trail ice]

what would be the benifit of bossting your main and leveling an alt first ?

[crimson ledge]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's just exploring islands one after another.

[polar sluice]

How many characters can I have per account?

[trail ice]

I have heared 50

[jagged kindle]

its 18

[rain meadow]

24 per server

[maiden locust]

now thats a lot of opinions

[sly moss]

24 max per server, 6 free slots

[polar sluice]

How much money does 1 slot cost?

[sly moss]

like 8$ or something

if you bought gold or plat pack you get 1 slot

[subtle steeple]

do you only get rewards/gold for 6 characters on server ?

[light zealot]

Gold on 6 characters, rewards for all

[polar sluice]

Thanks

[narrow summit]

Was the Madness Engraving for the Berserker ever confirmed for the EU/NA launch ?

[subtle steeple]

y

[sly moss]

that only apply to abyss dungeon/raid and legion raids

[last steeple]

hello comrades for a casual player that doesn't really have good mechanic and will be playing at 200 ping (oceania) would you suggest sorceress/gunlancer be a good class to play? or do they depend on having good ping/fast reflexes

[sly moss]

you can still get daily/weekly una tokens

but peeps usually just make another account

[rain meadow]

the thing about sorc is that her damage is delayed, if you add 200ms to that... might not be super good

[last steeple]

what classes is high ping friendly?

[oak hare]

Hello, I have a question : I want play Shadowhunter as first character, but it's not going to my main. After reading about the game, I know there are quests reward you can claim only one time by account (skill tome especially). It's an issue if i make an alt before my main as 1st character ? How to avoid these quests with my 1st character ?

[crimson ledge]

The ones with no weapon swap

[chrome oyster]

How far into the story do you get a free appearance change token if at all?

[rain meadow]

oh yeah weap swap for gunslinger and deadeye is a no-no on high ping

quick question guys, if you boost your character after the first one is done. Does the boost only effect the story quests or are sidequests also done after boosting?

[topaz briar]

can i start on a EU server and transfer to another EU server down the line? (paid or not)

Hi everyone! In the gold pack, its written "Founder's Exclusive Skin", do you know what skin it is? The skin info I found online only talk about the "platinium skin".

[crimson ledge]

The Lawmaker

[wild parcel]

Kadan and Zinnervale as per community spreadsheets.

[fathom condor]

yh just found the spreadsheet 🙂 Thanks

[smoky goblet]

Got it thanks

@smoky goblet

[last steeple]

is pvp significant part of this game? like is there alot of resources gated behind pvp?

[crimson ledge]

Which one is the default without coloring?

[rain meadow]

afaik there's nothing behind pvp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRZTak5RMEo

[vast lily]

mounts and skins?

[tame magnet]

I think white for male, and the three female are for each female class

[crimson ledge]

How do you dye skins anyway? Is it a thing for "later down the road" or can you do it early in the game?

[wild parcel]

Where do you go about linking your Steam/Lost Ark account to Twitch for the drops when they start? Or is that function not available yet?

[craggy mirage]

under the connections tab

[wild parcel]

In which client?

[last steeple]

@rain meadow does that mean we can enjoy the game fully even if we don't go towards the pvp aspect of the game? because in some game the BIS gears/best skins are locked behind pvp

[craggy mirage]

twitch -> settings -> connections

[wild parcel]

Gotcha.

[craggy mirage]

there u can link ur steam acc to twitch

[rain meadow]

watch that video, maybe it will answer your question, i don't actually know lol

[elder valley]

Can i use 5 twitch account to claim 5 paper hat chest?

[atomic barn]

where do i find the server spreadsheet

[vestal dagger]

Will there be any disconnection protection, like a 5 minute grace period where you can login and bypass queue?

[earnest moon]

Hey, can someone confirm what are the guild naming rules? Is it true we can't have space in the guild name?

[wind quiver]

At what gear level should we start picking mains? 1340? Until then we can easily gear and play anything? Or start of tier 3 gearing?

[cosmic fossil]

So I see the list of cross server activities. If I have a friend in another server I can invite them to a party and then do the cross server activity like raid or boss Rush?

[tight nexus]

what classes are highly mobile? want to main scrapper because I saw she can jump around like cray-cray and I love it, but what about other classes?

[honest stone]

Anyone know if the terms in the game are the same in different languages? I'm thinking of joining a French server, but my game will be in English, so if I ask about "engravings" for example will French speaking people know wtf I'm talking about?

[supple vessel]

Hey, anyone know if there will be further downloads past the 57.1gb on steam when the game goes live? I remember seeing it state 70ish GB required

[honest stone]

~57gb is pre-decription/expansion. Once the game goes live Steam will expand the game to ~70gb

[subtle steeple]

what's your steam country ?

[solar dust]

bard

[lucid escarp]

can you see the files in the folder?

[subtle steeple]

no, steam puts the preload in a different location

[low zodiac]

Ffs that's the class I was going with, but I've read it's kind boring and sucks solo so that put me off

[green gorge]

hello are you able to play as all characters or are there limited slots?

[lucid escarp]

so if i can see the files is it worth redownloading

[crimson ledge]

24 max per server, 6 free slots

[broken harbor]

There are limited slots, but u are able to buy more.

[solar dust]

It doesnt have issues completing content, but if you don't want to play it 😦

[subtle steeple]

check steam, does it say coming feb 1 1, and play is gray ? if so it's normal , all good

[green gorge]

ok cool. also, which server should i choose if im playing from australia?

[pearl nacelle]

Does the power pass skips Shushire?

[low zodiac]

I know I'd be sought after at end game

[crystal vapor]

Hello, if i'm from Asia how do I go about playing Lost Ark? Join the NA/EU release or?..

[lucid escarp]

yeah it does 👍

[subtle steeple]

sywo made a video about that , new steam account with vpn

[broken harbor]

Hi! The best thing to do is create a new steam account with a VPN. So the "regionblock" won't be effected on that account.

[robust river]

luthurnia

[broken harbor]

Thats how i did it atleast😅

[paper reef]

Heya everyone! My guildmaster wont be able to play on EU launch today and asked me to start guild stuff.. can someone tell me how simple or hard it is to transfer onwership afterwards?

[broken harbor]

One click is all it takes

[crystal vapor]

oh damn

[paper reef]

Só like any other mmo.. just click and transfer ?

[crystal vapor]

thank you

[patent laurel]

Do they need to keep the vpn while playing? I think so but i want to make sure

[mossy bone]

Does anyone know if the Beserker Madness rework be on NA EU release???

[broken harbor]

I'll test that tonight😅 I don't think so but we'll see.

[crystal vapor]

what kind of VPN do you guys use?

[subtle steeple]

it will

[mossy bone]

Where'd you read that?

[broken harbor]

Cause it'll be too much work to block IP adresses. Cuz what if u go on holidays bring ur laptop to that country and u cant even launch it.

Don't think they'll do that. LOL

[queen tapir]

Nobody knows yet

[elfin surge]

silly question for anyone that has already played the game... if I make a character and immediately log out to make another it won't "skip" anything rihgt? like some games you log back in and the tutorial etc has been skipped

[willow rapids]

Question about Power pass and Knowledge Transfer.

If I level a toon to 50 and complete main quest, unlock a power pass and boost a 2nd toon to 50, can I now use Knowledge Transfer on 2 other toons? Or does the power pass not grant an extra use

[spiral thistle]

After a character has been created you are put in character selection

[elfin surge]

oo perfect, thanks!

[drowsy anchor]

Is there a way I can make my main character and then make alts directly after (without having to do tutorial on main) so I can reserve names

[deft owl]

we get two power passes, 1 use each, knowledge transfer costs ingame gold

power pass /=/ knowledge transfer, power pass is the cash shop equivilent that doesnt require gold

[willow rapids]

That wasn't what I'd asked, I know what it is I'm just asking if I power pass a 2nd toon to 50, am I able to do 2 Knowledge Transfers at that point or only 1

[deft owl]

think you can do both?

@spiral thistle can you confirm

[broken harbor]

Think after u use ur 2nd u'd be able to use a 2nd knowledge transfer

[crystal vapor]

what happens usually in MMOs if you're playing from a blocked region and later on there's now a server in your region, would it be possible to transfer accounts or no?

[spiral thistle]

Don't know how the interaction works.

[deft owl]

only kr has server transfer, we dont now if /when we're getting it

[prisma mesa]

!countdown

[midnight flax]

Lost Ark Headstart begins <t:1644339639:R>

[willow rapids]

Let me rephrase it abit differently.

Toon 1: Finish main quest get to 50 unlock option to Knowledge Transfer
Toon 2: Use power pass to get it to 50, does this 2nd toon unlock a 2nd use of knowledge transfer

[crystal vapor]

Okie thank you

[deft owl]

once you use the first power pass a second one gets mailed, knowledge transfer is different

[subtle steeple]

we get the latest changes for classes, all guides use this https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/build-guides/mayhem-berserker-raid-guide

[deft owl]

so yes you will get sent a second one after the first is used

[rough field]

is anyone else going into this game blind without researching so much stuff beforehand? its gon be my first mmo and all the info found online is so overwhelming lmao i think discovering the game by myself would be easier but idk

[willow rapids]

That's again notbwhat I'm asking

[oak sun]

5h till release?

[paper reef]

Thx appreciate it Gio

[prisma mesa]

[deft owl]

no idea, we dont know what restrictions are in place for how many characters can use knowledge transfer in NA

[oak sun]

yay

[deft owl]

i dont think they came out with that info

[elfin surge]

should we just sell all materials we pick up while levelling?

[deft owl]

they came out with how we unlock it but i dont think they specified a character limit as far as how many can be used

[maiden locust]

@rough field the game is themepark so dont worry

[paper reef]

Is it possible to Change guild banner after initial one xD?

[crystal vapor]

😦

[deft owl]

you need a steam account created by someone else actually in a different region

[crystal vapor]

vpn doesn't work?

[mossy bone]

Is it expensive to change your character customization later?

[deft owl]

but its possible they will detect a vpn if you use it, will they ban? we dont know

[deft owl]

we dont know the price but we're thinking like $10 or sth

[subtle steeple]

sywo made a video, he creates a new account with a vpn

[crystal vapor]

yes i'm following that video, using hte same exact vpn haha

[broken harbor]

For me a VPN worked fine.

[crystal vapor]

i'll try a different browser

[broken harbor]

Or else indeed ask someone to create a steam account for u

[merry badger]

Hello everyone. So from later on today i will be joining Lost Ark as many of you as a new player. I was wondering, since there are several of them, what server to pick for english players? I live in Portugal but i would prefer to be in a server where english is the main language.

[gray sluice]

Is rapport account wide or character only?

[crimson ledge]

!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

[olive atlas]

How do tripods and tripod levels from gear work in normalized pvp?

[deft owl]

server

[crystal vapor]

oh man chrome and edge not working 😦

[willow rapids]

I'm aware it's different, you're missing my question. Let's ignore power pass for a moment

So to unlock knowledge transfer you have to first get a character to 50 and unlock the first ilvl threshold.

To unlock a 2nd transfer use you have to manually get a 3rd character to 50

Now bringing power pass back into the question, if I power pass this 3rd character to 50 instead of manually levelling it, does that mean I'm able to use knowledge transfer a 2nd time.

[quaint shard]

minimum amount of characters in nickname ?

[gray sluice]

Thanks!

[deft owl]

we dont know, they havent given us details of it

[rain meadow]

i thought there was no gear in normalized

[broken harbor]

3-16.

[rain meadow]

2-16*

[quaint shard]

ok which one is it 2 or 3 ?

[broken harbor]

Go for 2.

[quaint shard]

or 4 maybe ?

[gray sluice]

about power passes, can you use them on previously created characters or once you use it you have to create a new one?

[deft owl]

they literally havent said if power pass qualfies for qualifications, the only thing they told us how to unlock it initially, we dont know if the intial unlock is good for more than 1 character either

[rain meadow]

#announcements message

[subtle steeple]

you can np, might not be as fast as a dps

[quaint shard]

ty sir

[subtle steeple]

there is a youtuber that rushed solo bard in 9 h , he has good bard videos, https://www.youtube.com/c/Aiyulol

[broken harbor]

Just keep in mind while playing Bard that u need to accept the "music" notes.

Fr the reason i quit playing it lol

[subtle steeple]

can you disable them ?

[pure yacht]

What is most efficient? Leveling solo or with friends

[broken harbor]

Didnt think so

I cant read russian😂

[subtle steeple]

from what i've seen , solo , just do normal difficulty dungeons

[spice igloo]

question: would it be more efficient to level and alt character to vern to get the powerpass and then power level your main so they get full 302 gear right away rather than have to farm a day or 2 for it? or is it still better to level main normally?

[raven stone]

yo guys are we sure presets will work at launch ??

[gray sluice]

about power passes, can you use them on previously created characters or once you use it you have to create a new one?

No one knows? I'm wondering because I want to create my 2 characters as soon as possible to save some nicknames I want to try and get :D

[rain meadow]

better to powerpass an alt, and do shushire quests manually on your main

i believe the power pass works on existing characters

[polar sluice]

Which class have the biggest damage numbers? I don't mean dps, but rather biggest burst damage

[gray sluice]

soulfist awakening skill

[edgy condor]

Can i get a link to the guilds spreadsheet, where everyone is going

[prime lake]

can ppl who bought steam founder pack login now? i bought pack but its showing me release date on 12th where's the headstart

[crimson ledge]

Spirit Bomb, what Yazid said.

[polar sluice]

better to powerpass an alt, and do shushire quests manually on your main

[rain meadow]

shushire is a region

[polar sluice]

Why is it better to do these quests on your main?

[rain meadow]

apparently, you miss out on too many mats if you powerpass your main on it

because powerpass autocompletes the quests to get you to 50

[buoyant kraken]

what does it mean if the boss? glows blue or yellow?

[rain meadow]

and you don't get most of the rewards, iirc

[polar sluice]

I played Berserker in the beta so now I'm considering something else and using power pass on berserker. Is it a good idea or should I stick with zerk as starter? @rain meadow

[rain meadow]

that's your call, idk what you want to main xD

[craggy narwhal]

do we 1st complete shushire and then abyss or the other way around

[frosty nebula]

When I click pre load on steam a box opens up but nothing downloads. Any advice?

[subtle steeple]

blue is use counter skill, it will stop the boss/stun him

[civic haven]

Any advice on what server to pick for EU ?

[rain meadow]

roll 1d7

[buoyant kraken]

every class has counter?

[subtle steeple]

y

[polar sluice]

that's your call, idk what you want to main xD
@rain meadow I mean I want to main berserker, but I also want to try other classes. I fear if I power pass a class I know nothing about I'll get lost

[rain meadow]

ohh

[subtle steeple]

maybe your steam country is not on the list ?

[polar sluice]

Just want to know if I miss too much if I start with an alt

[rain meadow]

i mean if you arent opposed to maining zerker for a while, then powerpass two different classes

[frosty nebula]

It isnt but it shows up on the store so I thought its fine

[blissful skiff]

If you do some duo leveling with a friend do you get any less xp from being in a group? For example 50% xp if 2 players in the group or w/e

[rain meadow]

if you end up liking one of the other two alts you made then you can slowly transition off of your zerker and onto one of the alts

[subtle steeple]

it's not fine, to play you will need to make a new steam account with a vpn, sywo made a video

[ionic cargo]

Does someone have a list of Rapport priority?

can't find anything on that on maxroll.gg

[polar sluice]

Alright, thanks @rain meadow

Hey, what's gonna be the main English speaking server?

[harsh zodiac]

so when steam drops the game today at 12pm est i can judt go to library and press play right? or is there anything else i need to do besides that

[rain meadow]

on NA? all of them on EU? kadan, zinner, thirain i think

[dark sparrow]

hi guys, what does this mean?

[tidal yew]

Hi do I need a vpn to play this game if I'm from Singapore? Or do I only need the vpn to download the game but playing doesn't require vpn?

[wintry hatch]

is your steamapps lost ark directory empty too? looks like the 57gb files are under depotcache

[barren fable]

is prologue important ?

I skipped 1-10 level in beta

[subtle steeple]

normal, it will unlock today

[rain meadow]

that should be all you have to do

[dark sparrow]

im from sg also, i got a friend from EU to buy the game for me.

[harsh zodiac]

Does anyone here know what servers will be the go-to for EU?

[primal vale]

Can they be edited again later on?

[subtle steeple]

for $

[rain meadow]

with a ticket

[primal vale]

Ah

[crimson ledge]

Ticket 8-10$

[rain meadow]

unsure if you can buy the tickets from the AH

[maiden locust]

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

[rain meadow]

since people can list outfits on the AH

[sleek onyx]

Does anyone know if you need a lost ark account to buy the founders pack for early access or if your steam account works?

[wintry walrus]

Can you make a character on NA server and EU server, or is your account locked to one region?

[hearty epoch]

❤️ ❤️

[primal vale]

Do you start with like default clothing or does it give you what the game images show?

[rain meadow]

default armor

[primal vale]

aiight

[rain meadow]

you can do both

[maiden locust]

with your steam account you buy each pack

[sleek onyx]

You need all packs?

[rain meadow]

no*

[maiden locust]

you dont, but if you want to buy all or couple ones they stack

[sleek onyx]

Ok thanks

[rain meadow]

if you buy multiple, skip bronze, unless you don't want to get plat, but want 3 packs

[dark sparrow]

uh how do i download the DLC for the founders pack

[wintry walrus]

perfect! thank you!

[rain meadow]

its automatic iirc

[dark sparrow]

alright, thanks. see you guys in 5 hours lmao

[white slate]

how do i upgrade my pack in steam? wont let me refund and they still havent replied

[silver rain]

if based on other servers (KR, RU, JP) jump tickets /boosts are accountwide

[deft owl]

gotta wait till they reply(assuming you contact steam manually for a refund), packs are buyable till the launch onthe 11th, packs stack though if you dont wanna wait

[celest lantern]

So I just click retry on about 4 hours? (I have head start bundle)

[white slate]

assuming they will still refund when headstart comes out

[velvet pike]

So with the boost given when we finish MSQ for the first time (If I understood right?), it doesn't matter if I level any class first? I'm hesitating between Soulfist and Gunlancer, but I heard gunlancer is slow to level

[wispy horizon]

can you edit skin color with a customization ticket

[chrome island]

I know I'm going to play Gunlancer and/or Paladin. I'm playing with two friends. Do you think it'll be hard to find a support for our groups if I run Gunlancer instead of Paladin? I really want to give Gunlancer a try, but would also hate having to wait for supports all the time :)

[odd raft]

ok so i can use it for a char on different eu realm then?

[compact cedar]

Will the founders skins be tradable

[fierce ruin]

Hey guys is there a poll we can vote on what server we are going to?

[wispy vector]

Zinnvervale seems to be extremely busy. do we know anything about how big servers are? on beta we had to wait a few hours to enter the busier servers.

[silver rain]

Gunlancer is somewhat slow and lacks mobility but he has no problems clearing mobs/killing boss what-so-ever. and yes if you value mobility you could go for soulfist for msq then boost gunlancer

[chrome island]

is boosting something you do with real money?

[velvet pike]

You get 2 boosts for free in game

[misty wren]

and one more question i heard that we can get founders skin with gold or trade 🤨 i hope its true cuz im so mad that i just refunded my gold pack.

[velvet pike]

1 for finishing the story, second by using the first boost

[chrome island]

does a boost just make a char lvl 50 instantly?

[velvet pike]

Yeah, also give you appropriate gear

[spice atlas]

Is there a link in this discord that shows all classes and stats etc

[chrome island]

they really want us to make alts huh? xD

[hexed crest]

Anyone have the link to the server spreadsheet?

[velvet pike]

Thanks, I'll probably flip a coin to decide

[limber breach]

Hi, I have a question about playing the same class as a friend for the pve content. Is it okay for us to play the same class and join the same parties end game? Or would we have to pick different classes?

[minor coral]

I am conflicted between Wardancer and Paladin. The last few years, I stopped playing DPS in MMOs purely because it's so much easier to get groups as a support (and I don't mind playing it), but I read that in LA it does not matter as much . Is that true or just people trying to overhype the balancing of the game?

[velvet pike]

It's better to play different classes as they all provide different buffs to the party and it doesn't stack

[maiden locust]

you can pick the same class, is not that difference, u will have more gems and engravings for your class, so better for you

[misty wren]

i dont know what class should i pick : (

[silver rain]

yes

[odd raft]

great

[limber breach]

Would it be like it's better to pick different classes but being the same is still okay?

[spice atlas]

Same brah

[misty wren]

brah moment did you buy founder pack

[limber breach]

At most it'd be a bit slower of instance runs since less synergy offered?

[spice atlas]

Bronze. You?

[maiden locust]

if you want to main only one class u can pick the same without problems

[wintry hatch]

is your lost ark directory under steamapps empty too? looks like the 57gb files are under depotcache. I tryed to copy my presets but nothing there

[crimson ledge]

The files are encrypted

[misty wren]

refunded my gold and i was about to get it back but the price is now x8 more expensive so i bought bronze too nice

[maiden locust]

u will always have your main so, alts are for farming

[velvet pike]

Play everything you're interested in at first, then decide. Better to try a few than not enough and regret it later on

[maiden locust]

yep, encrypted until launch

[limber breach]

Ideally I'd want to main lance master but that'll have to wait XD
Ty for the answers tho! Just wanted to know how much it would matter

[silver rain]

there's also another thing called knowledge transfer which we will get at launch basically a boost with gold. you pay (either 600or800 cant remember) gold and 8 hours later you have another lv50 ilvl302

[vale rapids]

Any update on spreadshits links for server choice ?

[misty wren]

btw can i use same nickname for every class

[maiden locust]

they update it each few hours https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?usp=sharing#

[chrome island]

is gold the real money currency? and why the 8 hours?

[tribal dust]

if i download a russian .cus file to use on EU, do i open the .cus in notepad and edit the RUS to EU?

[wintry hatch]

Can I unzip them by myself to place my presets?

[velvet pike]

Names are region-wide, you'll have to get different names for every characters

[silver rain]

in-game 8hours just so it doesnt out-shine paid boost kekw speed running msq takes about 9-10hours btw

[rain meadow]

just regular gold

[hallow trail]

So I watch the stream earlier that was suppose to have the drop but I dont see anything about it anywhere

[misty wren]

ah need to find some good rare names : (

[rain meadow]

you need to watch for 4hrs

[hallow trail]

I did though, pretty sure I did

[misty wren]

what drop tell me 🤨

[rain meadow]

they're doing multiple streams throughout the week

[velvet pike]

Crown stream was like 2.5h

[rain meadow]

they only streamed for like 2hrs

[misty wren]

crownchannel?

[craggy mirage]

Could i put the downloaded files of LA on a stick and give it to a friend to bypass the download for him?

[hallow trail]

Ah then ya am mistaken then

[velvet pike]

My drop progress is at 62%

[chrome island]

what are the drops you can get?

[misty wren]

aw it was too late in turkey so i just missed the crownchannel

[maiden locust]

whats the command here to show who can play with who like global and server stuff? I saw it yesterday and want to share with a friend

[rain meadow]

a fox pet

[misty wren]

founder pack?

bruhhhhhhh scam.

[fair latch]

Can we play the game with ps4 or ps5 controller?

[maiden locust]

ty

[misty wren]

they said we will give founder pack

[velvet pike]

No, progress for the pet

[velvet pike]

Founders pack is a giveaway, not a drop

[rain meadow]

they did a random giveaway for a founder pack

[velvet pike]

US exclusive too

[misty wren]

giveaway💀

[short compass]

guys, is lost ark worth to play like a "single player" game? just get to the end game and go to the next one?

[remote yarrow]

Hi guys anyone know whats better/faster to level as party or solo >?

[misty wren]

💀💀💀

[rain meadow]

leveling is probably faster solo

[silver rain]

one more thing that makes gunlancer really annoying is he has backward dash every class when press space bar they go forward but its the opposite for gunlance you need to get use to it

[maiden locust]

leveling is solo

[rain meadow]

because you won't have to wait for your party to finish their unique instances

[misty wren]

sorry asking again but i heard that we can get founders skins without buying founders pack with gold or something

[odd raft]

ye with gold but gonna be eexpansive in auctiohouse

[rain meadow]

not sure if they're tradable like other outfits

[velvet pike]

I used to play gunlancer on Monster Hunter, it had the same backstep

[misty wren]

Les goo

what is auctiohouse

founders skins is trash (gold) for me dont be mad

[rain meadow]

the... auction house, the market board, the trading post

[odd raft]

auctionhouse

[lapis gull]

something poe players want yet never had

[misty wren]

oh okay

[primal vale]

For NA release, can we just use steam account to log into the game itself or will it require account creation?

[rain meadow]

its through steam

[primal vale]

Alright

[chrome island]

Did anyone here play on one of the other regions? If so, how big a deal is the "there's always a shortage of supports" ? I'm torn between Gunlancer and Paladin. If it's not a big deal to find a support for the group, I'll play Gunlancer. If it's a pain in the butt, I'll play Paladin.

[misty wren]

i dont like mmorpg games i only liked poe but not so much eh i dont know should i buy gold pack again :/

[silver rain]

Gunlancer is semi support but mostly DPS they can provide shield.

[rain meadow]

main gunlancer and alt the paladin

[primal vale]

If you buy cosmetics do they share account wide with alts?

[chrome island]

I get that, but It wasn't my intention to replace the Support spot with the Gunlancer, I'd like to have both, which is why I want to play Gunlancer, but if support is hard to come by, I'm better off giving up the dream of having both, and just play support myself xD

[rain meadow]

per character i think

[left roost]

Can me and my buddies play in groups and finish regular quests together throughout the whole experience? like WoW or is it like new world?

[rain meadow]

never played wow, but it's like new world

[silver rain]

its serverwide and some can be shared among the same class magician, asssasin, hunters

[left roost]

so no quest sharing, random spawn on different maps, and we cant complete any quests together?

[primal vale]

Ah okay so like similar tree? Like gunner can use gunner and mages can use mage for ex

[copper copper]

Out of curiosity, when only doing the msq, what level is roughly the halfway point until the msq is finished?

[rain meadow]

there are some quests that you can party up for, but after the instance the game will dump you into random channels

[silver rain]

hmm since people will definitely running alts 'supports' arent that hard to come by really but a good one is especially those with full support engravings

[buoyant kraken]

Platinum Skin from founders pack can be claimed only once? for one character? or is it like TERA collectors edition that every single character can claim it?

[rain meadow]

when you get to the islands it may be better and you can party up, but i didn't have much time to play beta to get to the islands

[chrome island]

cheers! I'll start off with Gunlancer then, if getting support becomes a hassle, I'll make the transition after getting a boost :)

[silver rain]

you could play both 🙂 since you get 6 char slots

[river gust]

Is it too late to get the free pet twitch drop?

[valid hill]

no, you've until march 7th if i'm not mistaken

[sharp zealot]

Does the game just unlock at 5? It still says "coming Feb 11" on my steam library?

[silver rain]

imo the 'shortage of support' comes after Legionnaire raids if you dont have static pt by then then finding a good support for these raids might become a problem

[earnest summit]

Hey guys what time can you get in queue you think?

[sullen finch]

a queue

[torpid maple]

Hey guys, since one of the conditions for the powerpass is to watch all cutscenes, do you know if that can be done on a second character instead of your first one?

[earnest summit]

They removed that

[maiden locust]

The cut scene requirement isn't a thing just complete msq n you good

[torpid maple]

Oh right, im not sure where i got taht from then, thanks!

[maiden locust]

yes, they removed that, complete main quest and after using the first powepass they give to you the 2nd one

[elfin surge]

Was a mistake in original patch notes

[maiden locust]

do we have to wait until launch time for the game to install ?

[elfin surge]

Tripods n gems are separate things but yes

[elfin surge]

After claiming it will lock to the server and only apply to the class you choose

dunno its called tripod gems in the russian translation

or atleast the menu

since summoner not available

is there a keybilnd that talk to the nearest npc?

Ya got 4 hours to choose

[violet sparrow]

How is it claimed though? I don't want to accidentally use it on a different character.

[polar notch]

i dont know if i should go deadeye, bard or soulfist; the huge nuke from soulfist looks really cool but it being able to miss so easily kind of turns me off, generally i enjoy high apm characters but being in high demand as a bard if the playstyle is fun enough also seems cool to me; does anyone have any input that could help me decide

[elfin surge]

That I do not know…

[silver rain]

spam G

[mighty wave]

can u help me, i want something rlly good and basic for pvp and something very easy for pve

[elfin surge]

Do all 3? You get two free boosts

[crimson ledge]

You can always use the second awakening skill on Soulfist.

[polar notch]

i dont think im gonna go sweaty from the start

[elfin surge]

Pressing boost isn’t sweaty :p

You then have all three at 50 and can choose the one you like

[polar notch]

idk what boost is, you dont mean playing 2 alts?

[maiden locust]

Friend told me they changed the second boost but not how. Anyone know?

[elfin surge]

Boost fast track levels a character to 50

So you play one through normally, get free boost

After using your first boost you get a second for free

[lapis gull]

are 2 boosts free for everyone or only certain founder packs?

[elfin surge]

Everyone

[polar notch]

so i can insta get 3 characters to 50 the moment i hit 50 with one?

[elfin surge]

Pretty much

[polar notch]

huh

[lapis gull]

that's nice

[copper copper]

Out of curiosity, when only doing the msq, what level is roughly the halfway point until the msq is finished?

[elfin surge]

There is a small part to play through

Might take an hour per boost

[crimson ledge]

Free after you complete a certain quest at around lvl50

[violet sparrow]

Oof.

[polar notch]

this is the one with the beam?

[crimson ledge]

Yup

[polar notch]

sorry i dont know what you mean lol

[copper copper]

tyvm

[polar notch]

i just heard the nuke variation is a bit slower

[clever thicket]

How feasible is to advance in Tiers/endgame progression playing without grouping/friends/group content?

[gritty edge]

I’m joining a server that’s 4hrs behind me, so I’m wondering if that make raids/GvG impossible

For example can raids be done in a 12hr time period or are they only open for a few hours?

And is GvG the same time and how long does it take?

I don’t want to blow founders on a server that I can’t even play on

[tardy canyon]

what i will do with mokoko seeds?

[hearty epoch]

How can you "blow" your founder?

Is it a 1 char thing? 1 server thing?

[lapis gull]

bound to server once u use it

[elfin surge]

Server and class locked rewards

[silver rain]

i'd not recommend Soulfist nuke in early game tho you need certain stats to make her goods with the Z buff. without that stat, stage 3 Z buff can have up to 1 minute downtime. basically you have around 20s of burst DPS time with around 50s-1m downtime

[hearty epoch]

Oh shit, when does those rewards activate?

[gritty edge]

If I can’t join raids on the server I use founders on then it’s a huge waste

[cosmic drift]

if i do this does it mean the gold pack isn't going to be sent to me and I can wait for a refund on it?

[crimson ledge]

It's a possibility.

[maiden locust]

wdym

[hearty epoch]

Like the founder rewards things, how is it possible to "fuck em up" so to speak

[polar notch]

then what would you say is the class with the fastest/most intense feeling gameplay is

[maiden locust]

un can activate your funder pack when u want

[hearty epoch]

Oh okay cool

[silver rain]

fastest would either be gunslinger or deadeye they have a lot of mobilities. but if you wanna go with soulfist shes not bad just not recommend playing the nuke version in the early game (still can use nuke)

[soft sparrow]

Hey is there a google docs document or something where I can select all the collectibles I already farmed ? Like the seeds so when I get some while the leveling process I can track them ?

[maiden locust]

Oh I can’t wait to collect all the Mokokko seeds for the 3rd time

[open abyss]

I want to upgrade my pack from silver that I bought on Steam to gold. What should I do specifically?

[soft sparrow]

Refund silver and buy gold

[maiden locust]

Probs refund and then buy gold

[whole basalt]

hey i have purchased the plat pack dlc still , i don't qualify for head start?

[maiden locust]

u have ur collectible list ingame

can you change your character's appearance after creating it?

[open abyss]

do i need to refund via steam? do i need to wait for the refund to go through before buying gold?

[maiden locust]

did you download it

[subtle steeple]

it's normal .for all of us

[idle zinc]

I just realized this but are there any options for reducing or just outright removing skill effects

[whole basalt]

yes, downloaded.

[open abyss]

yes

[rugged musk]

is there a guide to spending Royal Crystals

[maiden locust]

@open abyss via steam

[soft sparrow]

Yea but does this list also show that I collect Seed X on Island X for example ?

[maiden locust]

then u need to wait until 18:00 GMT+1 like all of us

Yes it does milbekeks

[maiden locust]

yep each island has its own list

It shows you 66/90 collected seeds on x island

[whole basalt]

i mean it says i cant play untill 11th :S?

[soft sparrow]

Thats sick thx

[open abyss]

i have no idea how steam refunds work, well, i guess i'm just buying two packs then...

[maiden locust]

It couldn’t be easier steam refund

[open abyss]

because it says "refunds are not typically given for blah"

[maiden locust]

It displays that to everyone dont pay attention to that dont worry

[whole basalt]

oh, thankyou so much!

[delicate dawn]

are there anti-afk measures? like, getting kicked out after 30min of activity etc

[open abyss]

which one do i pick here?

[open abyss]

no

[maiden locust]

Just say purchased by accident

[cunning zenith]

I tried refunding today and they wouldn’t let me lol

So I bought two packs now lol

[subtle steeple]

contact support

[whole basalt]

also guys, first time trying.. which is a newbie friendly class? and which EU server will have english speaking population .. i love owpvp if the game has a related server

[lapis gull]

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

[whole basalt]

ty so much

[open abyss]

so when you say "it's super simple" i don't know wtf you're talking about

[maiden locust]

Maybe try click the silver founders pack instead of bought accidentally

Cause the game is free it’s just the founders packs that cost

[open abyss]

i clicked the silver founders pack and then selected the accidentally

[maiden locust]

Oh well...

[open abyss]

that's the screen you get

[rich marlin]

hi, are there any updates on the regions that are ip blocked?

[wise pecan]

Is it posible to receive Lost Ark Twitch Drops from watching VODs on relevant channels, like Crown?

[subtle steeple]

no

[calm needle]

so if i downloaded this game without a VPN (i have EU steam but i don't live in EU), will I still need a VPN?

[soft sparrow]

I clicked the same options as you did and I can easily refund it

[merry badger]

Hello everyone

[open abyss]

well maybe it did request a refund - i don't actuall yknow because the ui is confusing

[pliant gulch]

when is the game launching today :0

[merry badger]

Is there an updated spread sheet about the servers and their populations etc? I'm really lost as to which server to pick

[celest lantern]

Does the server I choose matter?

[long prawn]

!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

[celest lantern]

Same

[long prawn]

only for that server specific list

[subtle steeple]

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

[rich marlin]

its in 3 hours iirc

[open abyss]

You can’t do this with some DLCs like Founder’s Pack. There is no refund before 2h.
Seems like since i played the beta i cannot refund it

[merry badger]

thank you @subtle steeple

[maiden locust]

Seems like if you’re English you want to be going on kadan

[merry badger]

Are there any servers to avoid because of streamers and overpopulation?

[storm plume]

can i create my guild instantly and invite 100 people or do i need to level the guild first ?

i have 70 members and im not sure if i should open 2 guilds for now

[long prawn]

you gotta level it

[celest lantern]

Or Zinnervale?

[viscid needle]

Can someone explain to me what a power pass is?

[lapis gull]

Do you think Kadan will have big queues? Seems it will be a huge server

[icy zephyr]

is the gold avatar for 1 character too?

[storm plume]

yes

[subtle steeple]

kadan will be full of streamers, Zinnervale or Thirain

[merry badger]

Zinnervale seems to be crouded no? How many players can a single server hold?

[storm plume]

does it take long ?

[icy zephyr]

thxx

[tawny vault]

I want to main bard
But can I just got zerker day 1?
just to get to stuff faster
and save all the mats I get to level my bard gear up?
Do mats get shared like that ?

[long prawn]

months and months

[maiden locust]

Yeah zinnerdales looking like an option too. But yeah kadan does seem like it’s gonna be massive

[subtle steeple]

yes

[storm plume]

fuck, then opening 2 is the way, thank you !

[viscid needle]

Can someone explain to me what a power pass is?

[wanton turtle]

can u change ur hairstyle/color in game?

[maiden locust]

Might go zinnerdale, I mean most content is cross region/servers anyways

[subtle steeple]

free lvl boost

[storm plume]

instant level 50 boost

[long prawn]

level boost

[viscid needle]

So once we complete the story and hit 50, we instantly get 2 more level 50s?

[old sleet]

Hi, I've got a question. Do I have to activate the DLC on steam? or was it already activated the moment of purchase? Does the play button become clickable once 12pm hits?

[subtle steeple]

y

[limpid mason]

does the game have an estimated queue time?

[subtle steeple]

and for 600 gold knowledge transfer , is another lvl boost

[limpid mason]

????

[lapis gull]

9 hours

[subtle steeple]

did the beta have one ?

[limpid mason]

you mean like that people presume that the queue will be 9 hours or what

[maiden locust]

why isnt deathblade pickable as character on this discord server? its not available at launch in the game?

[burnt wren]

if a class releases way later will it costs too much to make it your main? How would that work with RNG and time gates etc?

[lapis gull]

or 69 hours

[storm plume]

Receiving your founder's package has been clarified:
You will receive it in your product inventory first.
Then you will be able to claim it on whichever character / server you want to.
Once you've claimed the package from your product inventory, your choice is irreversible.

[limpid mason]

great thanks

[lapis gull]

no one knows mate

[limpid mason]

i didn't ask how long the queue will be

i asked if the game has a system that estimates time that will take you to get through the queue

[sour matrix]

as someone used to these types of games controls, does the prologue provide anything but story?

[lapis gull]

then I didn't get your question

[cosmic garden]

Does anyone know if we can we create characters on different servers with the same account? and then transfer items between them?

[old sleet]

But then I'd have to go in-game to do that right? Would I be able to launch the game when 12pm hits?

[subtle steeple]

yes, teaches you game mechanics , its in patch notes

[merry badger]

How many players can a lost ark server hold?

[storm plume]

director said he wishes for 200k at launch ( today )

so plenty. :P

[subtle steeple]

from what i've heard you put an item with main on action house and buy it with alt from different server

[olive atlas]

The "material island" things are one time things, right? So I just do them whenever, no rush or anything

[storm plume]

no clue mate

[maiden locust]

I doubt there will be queues to be honest, I mean spread out on the servers most end game content is cross region and the beta had like 80k players on one server so should be fine

[merry badger]

on each server 200k or that's the total of all servers?

[old sleet]

hm okay, thanks anyways!

[storm plume]

not sure he didnt specify it

[amber spruce]

will something happen at the 3 days head start(special stream or anything?)

[olive atlas]

I remember someone saying servers are like 10k cap

[cosmic garden]

So the shared account storage wont work on any ALT that is not on the same server?

[subtle topaz]

Hey guys, quick question, you think if I copy the client/download files from my friend's pc to mine, it will work? because where I am I don't have internet to download in time

[maiden locust]

Nah he might mean a 10k cap in one channel. Each server has several channels that people can hope between

Hop*

[subtle steeple]

shared storage is server

[light zealot]

You still have 3 hours to predownload it

[lapis gull]

I used to do such things with few games and it worked, no reason Lost Ark shouldn't, I guess

[mighty cypress]

hello im planning on playing this game from japan (on na server), which means that if i was to buy the founder's pack, i will need to pay in japanese yen. If I buy the pack in japanese yen, will my game be japaense server or does that not matter

[maiden locust]

Channels are all separate to each island/place

[small wyvern]

is sharrpshooter a good pve class?

[subtle topaz]

I know, but with my current internet it'll take me the whole day, my friend downloaded already so I wanted to see if I can go and copy the files

[mossy iris]

Do you start with 10 000/10 000 work points?

[cosmic garden]

What about account progression. Will having alts on separate servers disconect their account progression?

[hallow oxide]

Would this button be clickable when it gets released in like 3 hours?(got founders)

[lapis gull]

if u can't download it in time, no reason not to try it

[amber fox]

so I have question about this twitch drops and I dont know where to ask so I will here,,, If I need to ask that question somewhere else well sorry.... so question is, there are streamers EU and NA, im from EU I watch Eu streamer but they all have different pets.. can i watch all and get every drop every loot, or im locked to EU and just watch Eu streamers to get that and thats it?

[subtle topaz]

I see

[subtle steeple]

nothing caries overs to different servers

[amber spruce]

yep just after u copy the files the game will do some adjustment just put it in the right place

[subtle topaz]

I see ty all

[subtle steeple]

japan is not on the na,eu country list, so you would have to make a new steam account with vpn, sywo made a video about that

[cosmic garden]

Got it, thanks!

[near vigil]

trying to use the "move files" steam feature to move lost ark from HDD to SSD, but it says "failed: Lost ark: update required". So was thinking of just uninstalling and installing on to ssd. Anyone think download speed for the game is low due to many ppl downloading right now?

[mighty cypress]

what if my steam account is already US?

[light gust]

For the founder skin are we able to mix and match pieces?

[subtle steeple]

you might still need to use a vpn

[mighty cypress]

so in order to play lost arc in na server from jp, I need to use a vpn. how about purchasing of the founders pack? can I pay it in Japanese currency and still be able to play on na servers?

[old sleet]

I believe so. DLCs were the only available ones in the steam store. F2P downloads prolly become available by friday. So everyone who has bought the dlcs could probably launch the game at 12pm

just my guess

[hallow oxide]

thanks!

[gray vale]

is there a way to change my looks in game, I want to randomly create a character just so I can get the usernames I want

[humble talon]

do groups have both paladin and bard or just one or the other?

[long prawn]

you have to pay

[subtle steeple]

sywo bought a steam gift card , check his video

[maiden locust]

Are you able to pre-load? I am in Korea and I can't pre-load the game. I don't want to buy a founders pack until I know I can play...

[light gust]

For the founder skin, how many pieces is it? Helmet, body, pants, weapon? So 4?

[long prawn]

you cant preload

[maiden locust]

Even if I use a VPN, pre-load won't work

[mighty cypress]

i can't pre-load

[subtle steeple]

you need a new steam account with steam county that is on the list

[long prawn]

no one can preload

[maiden locust]

is there a twitch stream that counts towards the loot drop that is EU timezone friendly?

My account is USA

[long prawn]

only pre download

[maiden locust]

pre-download doesn't work I mean

@humble talon just one

[mighty cypress]

are you planning on buying the pack in korean currency or us currency

[maiden locust]

US

I am from america, just live in Korea now.

[subtle steeple]

try restarting steam

[maiden locust]

I did, even tried restarting my computer. Haha

[subtle steeple]

sorry i don't know

[lapis gull]

Once the head-start opens, can we still buy founders' packs before the official release?

[subtle steeple]

yes till 11 feb

[silver rain]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/community/legends-of-lost-ark you could choose from these list i'm pretty sure the EU team is EU timezone friendly

[subtle steeple]

all of them count , does not matter if it's eu or na

[cloud cypress]

I've been trying for hours to try to copy this character face with no luck. Any tips?
https://www.inven.co.kr/board/lostark/4823/101791?p=11

[humble void]

Hi question will there be any kind of server lock ? Like will they lock character creation if the server is too populated ?

[maiden locust]

Hello I did the predownload but when I try to launch it it says the game is not available yet and on steam it says the game will be available on 11th, is it gonna be unlocked on 5pm ? Cuz I have the founder pack, ty in adv

[burnt wren]

maybe you need a VPN active, not only a US steam account.

[broken harbor]

Game wont be available for like 2h and 50min.

[analog kindle]

I am in blocked country could pre download without vpn

Netherlands

[subtle steeple]

normal for everyone

[burnt wren]

yeah but he can not, doesnt hurt to try with a VPN

[maiden locust]

Ok ty for reply, I thought I'll be able to get the loading screen, cheers!

[broken harbor]

Or his steam is set to a blocked region.

I'm from the Netherlands and have a German steam account thats why it worked for me lol.

[analog kindle]

Yeah my steam is france for example, with netherlands i wouldnt be able to

[broken harbor]

Ohwell will see it in a few hours

[maiden locust]

Ah I got it finally! Turns out los angeles servers on VPN don't work. seattle works now. Thanks

[analog kindle]

I am wondering if blocked countries need vpn for playing

[rain meadow]

100% do

[analog kindle]

Which vpn is recommended?

[burnt wren]

ah didnt read you already tried with a VPN, well at least it works now

[grizzled grotto]

So to get a certain username i just gotta create a character and click done before someone else does? I don’t have to load into a world ?

[light zealot]

That is correct

[subtle steeple]

y

[rain meadow]

indeed

[maiden locust]

I was going to buy 99$ founders pack, but now I am nervous my ping with vpn haha

[analog kindle]

Does anyone have recommended vpns? I already have cyberghost, will that work?

[rain meadow]

i dunno, exit lag?

[lapis gull]

exit lag worked fine when I was playing on RU

[subtle steeple]

exitlag is good

[analog kindle]

Does exitlag work well with steam games?

[silver rain]

wait and see i guess only a couple hours left till headstart

oh nice

[subtle topaz]

2hr and 46min

[maiden locust]

yeah, try with free trial, exitlag does support lot of games

[red lichen]

my friend really likes pvp, so hes convinced that we absolutely HAVE to go Azena. how do i convince him otherwise?

[mighty cypress]

does exitlag require subscription

[analog kindle]

Yes after three days

[light zealot]

@red lichen pvp queues are cross server so it doesnt matter

[hallow oxide]

Is auction house cross server?

[silver rain]

ranked PVP is cross-server

[mighty cypress]

so we'll have to pay money if we want to play after three days

[subtle topaz]

how do I remove the RU from my nickname?

[maiden locust]

#navigation

[hallow oxide]

pay like 15$ for 3 days early

[light zealot]

Feelsbad for people that need a vpn to play this game

[mighty cypress]

no i meant exitlag

[maiden locust]

after trial ye

[light zealot]

There isnt a perma free vpn so yes you'd need to pay for one

[subtle topaz]

tyty

[light zealot]

@hallow oxide pretty sure it is yes

[red lichen]

i told him azena was the unofficial "pvp hub" and now he wont drop it lmao

[hallow oxide]

oh nice, so regions dont mean much o.o

[polar notch]

how do i predownload? i dont see a link on the website

im trying to predownload LA on steam but i get this ss error. i was told we can predownload starting feb 7

[light zealot]

Try restarting steam

[gaunt aurora]

there's some but they're either complete shit or have to restart trials constantly, VPNs are usually really cheap for playing though if you get a VPN that does bandwith based costs, since games barely use any bandwith

[cunning jackal]

might need to restart steam, I had to yesterday

[maiden locust]

tru

[light zealot]

@maiden locust he meant cross server not cross region

[maiden locust]

did u download it?

[polar notch]

oh you can only download it from steam?

[light zealot]

Yep

[polar notch]

[compact creek]

Going to open a guild for some friends, but I won't start lvling with my later main. Can I just open the guild with my other character and give myself guidlead later on or do I need to lvl my main for creation?

[maiden locust]

I used exit lag when playing on kr/ru try that

[light zealot]

@compact creek I don't see why not

[silver rain]

you can transfer leadership

[slow elbow]

nordvpn for me, totally fine and stable

[compact creek]

Nice, thanks guys

[maiden locust]

@sand pelicandid it work? 👀

[silver rain]

tho it takes around 3 days since newbies cant do shit in guild

[outer crown]

Prologue gives u a cosmetic right? But is the cosmetic bound to your character or can you create a new character later on and get the cosmetic and give it to your main?

[light zealot]

its like some random level 1 pair of goggles or something it doesn't matter that much

[cold badge]

All founder pack owners see on steam "Coming feb 11, 2022" ?

[light zealot]

Yep

[lapis gull]

yeah

[outer crown]

Are you able to go back and get it on another character and give it to your main?

[gaunt aurora]

once you've done it once you can craft it at the stronghold for any character

[real pecan]

anyone know how to refund founders pack from steam? I want to upgrade from silver to platinum, I haven't claimed my code yet in steam

[native jay]

Hello guys, If I’m from South America, I will be able to play lost ark or I need vpn?
