No one logged in today because of Lost Ark

At least it isn't as bad as Endwalker's launch yet.

lmao that guy is actually SO INSECURE, like no one else feels the need to look up Lost Ark if they don't give a sh*t about it.

You know, when I think a game is bad or trash, I don't read the news about it. I just ignore it!!

I've never heard of Lost Ark before coming across this thread in particular. It must be pretty decent if it's already at 20 pages.

I played the Korean version of Lost Ark and I'm just doing my best to warn other people away from it. A majority of people trying it out in the west have never played a Korean MMO before and they're about to find out why the term "Korean MMO" has brought forth derisiveness from sane people who don't treat videogames as a second job ever since the first Lineage game came out in 1998.

Currently playing through God of War. I think it's good to occasionally be able to take a break, helps on a few levels, honestly I think it probably helps the devs too (assuming you're still subbed lol).

Also glad to hear good stuff about Dying Light 2, but also I'm not because I already am afraid for the time I have- given I'm going to probably be done with GoW by the time Elden Ring comes out. W2B more time, please PST >.<.

I tried the beta a while ago and felt quite bored, but that's just me (>_<)
The game simply didn't have any of the things I enjoy in a game, and I didn't like the combat system either.

Without looking at spoilers and stuff i got disapointed that we cant create a male mage. I HATE genderlock jobs in MMORPG generally. So rip my gold founders pack.

Oh you just reminded me of possibly the most insane monetization thing SE has attempted.

You have to pay premium currency per transaction to use their remote market-board app, despite requiring an active subscription.

Well, to be fair, being able to remotely manipulate the market without even have to be log in on a character would be big oof.
The bots will have won and the players that are big on buyouts and big upsells will have dominated.
Same thing with retainer.
It'd become a mentally damaging thing at the end of the day for the casual crafter trying to sell stuffs. A la housing.

the gameplay's fun, but the systems suck.

decent to just putz around in, at least.

I have lived half of my life in Asia. I have played countless of Korean MMO because theyre so popular. I have played them in Cyber Cafes along with people even. One thing I realized is that most F2P Korean MMOs just like any other F2P games need whales to be profitable. Making it almost impossible for you to have your characters as good as them in the terms of stats and gears because you need real life money for an attempt to do upgrades/enhancements where the chance goes lower as your gears have higher refinements. I dont know if its the same with Lost Ark. But I am done with that kind of system.

Cosmetics and retainers wont make or break your characters. Gears, especially in games where the PvP is big 100% would. It also brings out the e-peen show offs that leads to toxicity.

There’s been an argument the past couple of pages of “ Well *insert other game name here* does it too!

Yes. Many otherwise good games also have varying levels of predatory monetization schemes. They aren’t okay either and they don’t make Lost Arks any better lol.
