No one logged in today because of Lost Ark

Total War: Warhammer 3 will take some FF14-Time

But...not all

[Kaoru_Nagisa]

I refuse to touch KRMMOs with a 50-foot pole now. I had my fill of their bull with Aion, TERA, and a few others I probably tried out before joining XIV (and forgot about, since they are not all that memorable after a while).

Also, is it just me or do so many KR MMOs over the years look like they ripped TERA assets and changed them up a bit to look 'new'? I swear half of the ones I see nowadays look like that, even all these years later. It's jarring.

I'm definitely up for trying out Lost Ark in a few days. I've seen the interview with the director who seems like someone who clearly treasures the game and is upfront about it.

It also has some really alt friendly features unlike FFXIV that has some really awful practices in that regard. So yeah, until new content comes, I'm hopping over to Lost Ark.

[Illmaeran]

I logged in! It was awfully quiet over on Atomos though; even considering my time difference.

What's Lost Ark? Are they looking for an Ark? There's a dinosaur game named Ark so maybe they should try there.

Edit* I didn't disappear because of that, but I WILL probably vanish off the face of Hydaelyn for a while when Total War: Warhammer 3 comes out.

I'm not exaggerating when I say...."every time I learn something new about Lost Ark I run further from it"

Today I learned it has loot boxes.

The thing I learned today? (moments ago)

The Founders Packs will stop being sold 1 hr before the F2P game launches...gotta get that FOMO before people get a chance to try the game.

That's not predatory concentrated sleaze or anything. /s

That should tell anyone all they need to know about that game.

This games community is so embarrassingly tribalistic sometimes.

[Theodric]

To be fair, 'predatory' business practices are present almost everywhere these days. If someone is eager to collect as many mounts, emotes and minions as possible in FFXIV then they're looking at a lot of 'limited time availability' as well.

The usual counter is that they're entirely optional. Though that applies to other games as well, so...

Did you actually read the thread?

Several games besides Lost Ark have been mentioned and NONE of them are being slammed except LA.
