Me: Log on after work, do normal raids, run expert roulette, log off per usual.

Forum: ZOMG GAME IS LITERALLY DECEASED.

What's a Lost Ark?

Luckily, I only play one game at a time, and I can see myself continuing to play this one for a long time.

It's a Korean mmo and has not only all the bad things that affect a typical Korean mmo but it also has phone gacha elements and literally has loot boxes.

And apparently there was rampant duping of the Founders Packs in Lost Ark

Have fun valiant defenders.

First New World, now Lost Ark. Does Amazon have some sort of specialty in creating duping problems or something?

The classics never go out of style.

The exploit so nice, they released it twice!

Duping is fairly common in games in general. The difference mostly is in how Amazon reacts. I think they end up to be even more short-sighted than your average greedy company so they think ignoring the issues and not properly addressing them will save them money.

You know why ARR succeeded? It wasn't just luck. FF publishes also understood the value of reputation. AGS clearly doesn't.

It's very sad, I've genuinely been excited about Lost Ark but AGS have only been screwing things up since the very beginning.
Their handling of PR and the localization has just been completely awful.

It really sucks that Korean games in particular are so hard to get in the West properly because I really love them they're so different and have great gameplay.
I truly hope Smilegate drops AGS at some point and buys themselves out and self-publishes.
The game director seems like a no bs type of guy and I think the guy who owns Smilegate owns it 100%.

I really want Lost Ark to succeed I want to play it on the side next to FFXIV but I have absolutely zero faith in AGS and they've done nothing but prove me right for having no faith in them.

Rofl I swear, AGS is so incredibly incompetent.
It's beyond ridiculous at this point they've only been screwing up constantly even since way before the game came out, and in like two days they've manage to screw multiple things up already.
I feel bad for Smilegate I hope they drop them and self-publish.

Edit: The funniest thing was also when the game director in the interview before launch said that he was completely baffled because AGS hadn't told us why the game was delayed.
So people had been hating on AGS for it speculating wildly about why it's their fault it was delayed.
In truth it was because the game director wanted to add T3 on launch, so it wasn't even their fault.

The game director said that he didn't understand why they hadn't told us and that he was really surprise to read online that people were mad at AGS for it.
The incompetency on display is just hilarious.
