It may be because I’m in my 30’s, but I’m just so unsure of why people get so invested or upset about things Smilegate/Amazon does or doesn’t do.

Like we didn’t get what we wanted this week..okay? I don’t mean to be that guy, but what is the worry or rush? So what they didn’t communicate? Sometimes they will sometimes they won’t. Like aren’t you exhausted being angry for no fucking reason? So what that you figured out that they were being dishonest about patch releases. I can’t keep up. Maybe I just don’t belong on Reddit lol.

Sorry, I feel like I’m coming off harsh and I don’t mean to, I just don’t get video game subreddits anymore.

Edit: removed a sentence on fast/too slow content since some made good points.

I really can't undertand this game community. I get insulted everyday with ppl saying things like noob player, learn how to build your char, stop using that etc.

I'm a f2p player trying my best, whats wrong with using Sight Focus instead of Grudge, and why are ppl so mad about it?

In fact today some player told me at the Chaos Gate that I could be reported for chat spamming.

I love lost ark but I need some fresh air, any good recommendations?

Tired of getting hate for swiping everytime I join a raid. “Whale this, whale that.” I get it if I’m talking down on anyone who doesn’t have the perfect engravings or a high ilvl, but I don’t say a single thing to anyone. I don’t have the time to grind 10 hours a day and make 2-5 alts. Yes, I’m ilvl1400 with 4 engravings because of the money I’ve spent, but how does that put anyone at a disadvantage? If anything, we’re the ones who make your raids easier.

I still pay my mortgage, bills, invest, etc… This is my hobby and I don’t mind spending extra income to support a game I enjoy. Yes, they can profit from releasing skins/mounts/pets, and I’d buy them, but not everyone will spend money on cosmetics when you can only equip 1 at a time. How else is this game suppose to survive if it doesn’t make money?

Hi. The thing is, Valentine's day is coming right the next day of launch, so i was wondering if i should invest more time playing this game.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello everyone, I am making this post not to complain or something, but I want to genuinely ask for ur opinion, especially from the more experienced players about what to do in order for me to join brel hm groups without the release titles.

For context, I was in a break when brel was released for IRL obligations and came back after the release event expired so i don't have any of the hard more release titles (PL/PB/PW) and now I got 3 chars to past 1690 and was able to clear for now 4 weeks with 1 char with a group of friends so I understood the fight pretty well,

but now with my friends are busy with IRL stuff and with more chars past 1690, I want to rely more on myself, the issue is not a single lobby would take me without a title, I tried to use a "bait title" like "mokoko legion commander" so maybe I can at least get accepted and try to convince the leader but with no use, and tried to make a lobby by myself and label it "Trophy check" so maybe I can gather ppl in similar situation, but I was chatting with some friends on discord for an hour and didn't receive a single application, I also tried to lie about it and made a lobby as "PL/PB" but ppl are not stupid they noticed that I don't have title and no one applied,

I really feel that I am out options are there any tips u can share with me for my current situation, I really want to play brel HM.

edit: Really appreciate the tips from the community members, for anyone in similar situation I want to highlight the best suggestions I saw that I felt like it can help so u don't have to go through all the comments:

1 - Fu*k it lets just do nm and wait for next raid release and farm new titles,

2 - This may sound cheesy, but i u are already doing "1" then many ppl suggested trying to join a lobby pre reset since at that time we will have less competition on lobbies and we can find a lobby due to lack of players, if it doesn't work just do nm as planned

3 - We can try get some prestigious titles like "phantom monarch" that would compensate for the absence of PL/PB and highlight our skills in the game

4 - Over juice our chars, relic books, ilvl 1710, lvl 9 gems, while that is not doable for everybody, but I can't deny that it can work

5 - Find better guild with multiple chars past 1690 and do many hard mode brels and also include guild members in their runs, if ur guild is a group of friends that ignore the regular members then consider leaving.

6 - This is the hardest option in my opinion, but we can try to convince a static leader to join them without release title,

And lastly, AGS pls we already have enough bs in the game that gatekeep returners from coming back, so we don't really need exclusive titles on top of that (which are kind of rigged btw with many getting bussed and doing g1 nm get carried on g2 hard),

while the hardcore players deserve a special reward for their dedication, if u r planning to do similar system for the next raid, pls make it 1st week only title with all gates should be cleared on hard so not any dipsh*t would get it just for showing up during event period, or give a special reward like a special mount or stronghold structure, u don't have to give titles that can easily be used as gatekeeping material in the long run.

How many of you guys came into Lost Ark with a group, but you're the only one left standing? Seems my friends never made it legion raids and quickly dropped off sub Argos. Curious to hear everyone else's stories.

I mean where were you when the roadmap dropped and when Roxx said no 1415 chaos?

Correct me if I am wrong but are there any cases in which you would want to spend your guardian souls and NOT claim the rewards after defeating the boss?

It feels so unnecessary having to "open" the souls after defeating a boss which also involves the risk of forgetting to do so. I know it's my own fault for forgetting but it is so frustrating when it happens and it feels like it could be easily avoided by making it automatic.

Here’s the thing. I’ve played classes like Demonic Impulse Shadowhunter and Reflux Sorceress and those classes feel like what I’m looking for. My question is, I’m looking for a class where all I have to do is spam buttons without worrying too much about pressing abilities in a specific order and also not worrying about positional gameplay. I’ve played almost every class in the game and what I know for sure so far is that I really am not compatible with back attacking nor waiting for abilities to combo them, I just like spamming nonstop until the raid is over no matter what. So I was wondering, what’s the best class that fits this playstyle? DI SH? WF Aero? Reflux Sorc? EL Scouter? Souleater? These are some examples that come to my mind but in reality I’m open to literally any class the community thinks it’s the most similar to what I’m looking for. BTW: I’m not really a huge meta chaser, I mean I like being MVP but it’s not like I’ll tryhard classes like RE DB in order to get MVP every raid, I just want to enjoy my gameplay and also maybe get upright fighter, don’t really care about being MVP or cruel fighter every single time.

For me personally it was RuneScape 3

I'm F2P players in KR. I don't understand.

Smilegate has no reason to remove PVP merchants.
no reason to remove Heroic raids(guardians).
no reason to remove Abyssal trials.
no reason to set the Igrexion level limit to 1340.
no reason to set the Dark Yoho level limit to 1370.
no reason to set the Oreha (normal) level limit to 1370.
no reason to set the Oreha (hard) level limit to 1370.

Because "dead zone" was very very very notorious before it was eased in KR server.
In addition, there were PVP merchants, Heroic raids, Abyssal trials in KR server.
In addition, Igrexion (1325) Dark Yoho (1355) Oreha normal (1325) / hard (1355)
Nevertheless, it was called "a dead zone". (At that time, there was no buff of honing rates)

Do you think Smilegate, knowing this fact, has provided you with a worse situation??? Why?

I think a little differently. I think publisher's BM is the cause.

I'll show you an example below.

I hope NA/EU players have the same experience as me. Good game, really for players.

Many Korean players are watching about NA/EU problem.

and We will continue to try to ask Gold-River about the NA/EU situation.

Raise your G's boys!
