I was a new player until a week ago, i quit. NA is not noob friendly, they expect you to know mechs even if i explained that while i know them from videos, i still need to practice. Most rooms also filter players through engravings. I do have irl friends ingame but they cant help me in raids because of ilvls, they are running 1445, so i gave up. Game is good though, but the stress of finding groups in raid and "forcing" you to have alts to at least be competitive killed the game for me.

i only play this game because all my friends play it and they pretty much boosted me to get caught up, i would never play with random ppl because of what you mentioned. with how dailies/weekly limit ability to earn, this game works well for me because i have limited free time anyways and i'm probably not gonna make an alt, this is just a good way to play some raids once a while with friends even though i screw them over quite often. In the end it's just about spending time with ppl you like and not taking it so seriously and lost ark does a poor job unless you either spend money or have people boost you

Started 3 weeks ago with 60 hours. The game enables the gatekeeping and elitism. Why if a player meets item level requirements people are filtering players for engravings, gems etc. I go to streams and u see people looking at every single piece of gear and stat u got and then decide if u are worthy to play with them. if u need the optimal glass cannon builds to clear then that means the game is poorly balanced. I have played final fantasy and ive cleared content with just min levels no need to get overpowered with extra stats or buffs. The time gating with daily/weekly content is what encourages this toxic behavior and mentality. I'm pushing through the boring progress of story where there isnt a single player and u see bots everywhere, if it wasnt for the bots I would think im playing a single player rpg, nobody queues for any dungeon u are just solo playing the whole time, its very lonely and boring. Single player rpg story progress vibes + knowing that in the endgame multiplayer experience, the elitism is normalized, it takes my motivation away from just finishing the story. It is sad because the raid mechanics look very cool, combat is fun and the environments feel fresh to look at, but just knowing this is the type of community I'm becoming part kinda makes me sick. To be clear i'm not really blaming the players there will always be elitism in any game u go. Is the developers the ones that created this optimal elitist environment.

To anyone new just know 7/7 stones arent what you might think. NA West its ~80k gold PER 7/7 stone. Stones that are dirt cheap (5g stones) will run you like 50k-80k gold and the more expensive ones will take you upwards of 110k. If youre trying to gear out dont focus on a 7/7 stone. Gear will get you MUCH further goldwise.

By the end of the play through you will know if the class is for you. You will save money and actually learn the game. Ive had friends skip ahead and all have the same experience. You will struggle mightily if you don't know the systems or classes. Many will get discouraged and quit. Just my opinion. Unless you want to whale and pay real world $$.

came back a year later, initially left because of bad honing rates, gatekeeping from Argos raid and pay to play mechanics like pheons, inability to purchase potions for ingame currency and etc. do not recommend the game even more than before. Smilegate, so much time later still haven't realized that Western player audience and Asian player audiences have drastically different gaming cultures.... different as night and day. Pheons still in game, potions and consumables that are absolutely necessary for harder content are still not easily acquirable (like, run up to a vendor and just buy it for silver, potions is not something i want to grind hours for, just so i can be accepted into content), you have to grind like hell to get them, once you run out of free ones that game throws at you, or straight up buy them from cash shop. content is still heavily gated, even more so as Smilegate didnt implement any real (as for western player base) catch up mechanics. Even Blizzard realized that if they dont give new and returning players catch up mechanics, they wont play. Like, back in older days, if you missed a season in expansion, it would take you a month + to catch up and if you were a casual, catch up wasnt even an option. so blizzard, just started giving you "free" entry level gear, every season, so no one is left behind. a new or returning player can just come into the game, get full entry level gear necessary for doing CURRENT content within 2-5 hours, and than join the mass player base and enjoy the game. As for lost Ark, nothing similar been done. either you buy a boost, or you come back with pre argos, ilvl (mine is 1350). no gear is given or boosted, you have to spend weeks to get to 1415, or whatever ilvl everyone else plays at right now. honing rates have not been upped to catch up to 1415, (unless you come back during their hyper express event, which in reality should be always on for new and returning players till they catch up to 1415). so yeah, pretty much no catching up. As for playing. I specifically play games like WoW and Lost ark, as multiplayer, i dont want to solo content, i dont like solo content, i want to join groups and just do content together, it's my understanding of fun. So what happened just now as i returned and there were no catch up mechanics in place, which would bring me to where everyone plays at..... content is dead, i can't find a group for chaos dungeon, 10 mins in queue, still not a person. i didn't bother trying anything else realizing the results will be the same. so now that i realized that i have to engage in doing boring catch up content for weeks solo, i decided not to bother coming back at all. oh and as for other players, over the period i tried to figure out what's going on, i saw only 3 players, most likely bots. game seems dead, or at least on ilvl where i play. This coming from North America region.

My best tip is: If you have notoriously bad RNG in any game, don't play this. This game and making gold sometimes revolves around having good RNG... may it be acc drops, golden engraving books or collecting your cards for Light Of Salvation... everything is RNG. If your RNG is bad in general, you will have a very bad time. Another tip: Just start with 1 character, see if you can stick with the endgame grind. If you can, make alts and earn more gold... if not, either quit or casually play that one character.

On the current market Lost Ark is a OK MMO but people need to accept it's a pay2win game. However it's possible to be a free2play player you will just need to have 5-6 alts, play every day 5-8 hours especially if you wan't to catch up to current content. I myself played since release, got really burnt out stopped playing in summer, returned when Scouter/Machinist hit, I understand the game, know how it works but due to my summer break my roster level is 82, and i'm being gatekept due to this, my scouter is 1450 with 4x3 engravings and get refused to raids, when I ask why they say my roster lvl is too low. so now i'm looking for a guild that can help me with this. And the Gold economy is truly afwull in this game, sure you have daily quests, at the end you get to get 3 large gold chests but if your RNG sucks you get like 3-4K gold and that's it.
@kyle784
Жыл бұрын
You need to go into a bit more detail on your engravings/stats as that's usually a big reason why people get gatekept. Say you are EL Machinist. You probably Don't have the 1600+ spec, 500+crit main stats or a standard engraving build. That plus the roster level shows a high potential for inexperience. Joining a guild is your best bet to find people to raid with and help your build.

@kylemenos
Жыл бұрын
The stones work as a drop or a bought item from the auction house or in game merchants. they will have two engravings on them and a number of pips or nodes. you use an npc to 'cut' the stone. its gambling at the first click you have a 65% chance for the node to activate (this is good) if it fails its now a 75% chance for the next one to activate and if it works its 55% to work. So to understand it better i recomend using a stone cutting calculator on google just search for one and play with it. Once all the nodes are full you can equip the stone the best ones for you are a 7/5/4 relic stone for tier 3 and I wouldnt care about anything lower than that. you have about a 30% chance for that to work. Good luck.

If you're looking to start playing a new game/mmo, then avoid Lost Ark. I speak as a new player. Nothing against this guy, who seems to be a decent bloke, but he's just doing his own interest telling you to come play this game, because he makes a living off streaming this game. He advises you to play support so you will be accepted by groups: wrong. As a Pally main at a fresh 1400 in need to gear up, I have to compete with 1445+ fully geared Pally/Bard alts to get into groups. It's like 3 days now that I try to do P1 Argos so I can get my last legendary, I keep getting refused even tho' I already beat the thing at ilvl 1370. I made my own lobby "P1 chill learning" to invite people who are actually scared to apply for groups/busses and want to learn. Not a single soul applied. Pug is out of the question, 1 wipe and everybody wants to disband. And sure sure "jOiN bUsSes" yea, no. The community is toxic, as a new player you can't learn and make mistakes, everybody will flame, mock you and then kick you out. You play with people who have been playing this game since the start, have failed hundreds of times and are doing the same content on their 24th alt char. It's hopeless. On the new event Mystic, applied for pug, we go and manage to get to 3rd phase: all die except me and a really good Deathblade. I went in semi-blind to have fun, I only knew about the mist mech, while me and this other guy/gal are carrying the whole thing, in the chat a 1490 Destroyer dude who was always the 1st to die in every phase starts mocking me because "i just support and I am not killing ads", after him another guy, dead, starts to mock us both, me and the deathblade, can you even believe that? With people in the chat writing "you ded he's alive and carrying you". At that point I stopped playing and we wiped, because I didn't want that idiot to get the rewards if we pulled it. This is very sad. Next day I went and I got my freaking hammer woohoo. Sad. This is the state of the community and the state of this game. Look for a different game, or just wait for Diablo 4. EDIT: some background, Pally with 3x3+1, all the stats in the right place, and even the right card set 3x4%hp.

I would think you'd be fine with lvl.3 Blessed/Expert/Awakening and 1400+swift 450+spec(For Argos P3). For your first section, most people do not want to do P1/2 Argos anymore and only P3 runs are wanted especially after they made the change so all gates are 1370 ilvl. It's very rare to see someone actively play 6+ chars as it's incredibly inefficient once you go passed your 6 weekly gold earning chars and that's mostly for people you play this game excessively. Most people have 3-8 characters(beyond 6th can be used for silver generation and bi-frosts) and do rested dailies and as many raids as they have time and experience for. If you want a good community to form the core of your raiding group you should join a guild. People are usually nice on discord and can guide you through mechanics in real time.

Just don't play, there is no point starting this late, it will take 2 month after u can do all raids, and having proper setup 5x3 that can get u in partys will take more with recent prices, cuz other way u don't get accepted, everyone is just in that mindset of "minmaxing" instead of actually playing the game and having a good time, but if u don't care about any of that and still want to play welcome to the "i have more dmg u suck, u can't be in a party with me" game .

So you have no idea, meanwhile people fresh are 1460 bound honing within 4-6 weeks and doing all content bar clown. Stop projecting, I've started a character from the free pass using only bounds on another server and it's a1460 - and they didn't get the moko buff. Keep spouting lies, I only have ONE 5x3 in my main roster, 4x3+2 with a proper build set-up will get you a group or you can make one.

best advice I can give a new player would be to just simply quit. It looks amazing yes but the game runs off FOMO on nearly every level. new content locked behind GS making level irrelevant, new fashion but it's locked behind a currency you can't exchange shit for so if you're f2p you're fucked. It's always going to be catch up if you're a person that takes time learning good luck making friends or being invited to parties. You enjoy looking in party finder just to see bussing groups, you get maybe an hour 30 max on your main before you're off to do bum fuck what ever on like 6+ alts just to feel overwhelmed and have some ass hole say you don't need to do that and that you can just enjoy the game so you take their advice look to your right and see bots, look to your left and see bots, look up and down bots so you get even more pissed off because this isn't a game ran by a new company nor a poor company. The best part of that journey is quitting and knowing you keyboards, "G" key might have a few more months left

My advice: don't force everything at once. If you have the time, split your dailies - or just skip guardians for one day, then chaos the next, then guardian again and so on. I personally have 2 groups. A. Chaos + Una B. Guardians I do either of the two after reset - whenever I have the time. Then before reset - whenever I have time - I do the rest. In my personal case, I am done with Group A in about 2hrs (11 characters). Group B I do with my 6 gold gainers - the others don't have engravings, so I don't want to do Yoho/Deskaluda with them, and it takes about 40 minutes. Group B, Guardians only, has the advantage of it not taking much time at all. Which gives me the time to do weekly raids. If I skip Group A or B one day, it doesn't hurt too much. My sanity > honing materials.

Idk this is the only mmo where i Could get to the endgame and experience big raids, lvling is easy, now you can get carried so cheap while you farm your runes and skill points, supports are op. Expecting to experience the same content in same Fashion as someone who played for 6+months is delusional. The content releases in such a way that in a few months sometimes you will reach the last piece of content before it releases. I remember trying other mmos and never Even reaching max lvl, this Game is actually really calm if you play only at your own pace. Tldr theres people who have 9+ characters at 1490 now and theres people like me who have only 2 by playing since launch and probably ppl who have less, we can all do the content thats in the Game now. Its a grindy mmo so if you play more you have more, Find your balance and remember, its a Game.

Started game when it launched as scrapper mainly to pvp,it disappointed me so I boosted bard for it,did not fit me,then I made gunlancer.. I been playing just that character.Made it to 1570 already as f2p by playing just one character(I tried other classes like scouter/shadowhunter deathblade,I got them to 1460s and deleted as I just had no desire to play them.). New players advice is take longer time on picking class you want to play,all materials you waste on class you don't like will not return.I have regrets on materials I wasted however with the recent content even my favorite gunlancer makes me question the class choice,I can no longer ignore mechanics and face tanking damage is just not an option,my copium is that destroyer was not available when I played so wait for the events that help push characters.the 1490 boost will come eventually and that is when I'll make my 4th alt.(I got 1500/1570/1460 gunlancers.they require bare minimum consumables and finding party's is not an issue and horizontal content is something you can ignore where other classes need those extra skill point potions.) Fair warning ,the class felt great in early content but as you go beyond 1500 you realize you are a support and stagger bot ,some of game content will make you question what even are you,so if I end up switching main class I still got a class I love playing as an alt with memorable moments. In short you can't go wrong by trying game as gunlancer,this class is forgiving on making mistakes or aiding your group when they need it the most,hands down best ultimate in game.

The main problem I see for new players is not to catch up in ilvl but to get on par with a matured player base and consolidated (albeit defect) market. Newbies won't be able to buy Legendary Grudge books at 1,2k a pop, they are almost 20k a book on my server. Next week all the prepared older players will run around in max. Tripods, while newer players will have to pay between 2k-10k for a Tripod upgrade chance of 30% after update, excluding the Pheon cost. Talking pheons, the crystal prices are touching 3k per 95 on my server. That's insane. You pay close to 30k Gold for 100 Pheons now. Back in the day we were buying crystals for 300g per 95 and it was considered expensive. Speaking off, Crystalline Aura, the de-facto sub in this game that you can buy with ingame gold, will cost you 14k Gold at current prices per month. The botting, the insane FOMO, the swipers, NA and EU has such insurmountable Mountans of Gold cost for new players, it's insane.
@DS_Takuya
Жыл бұрын
You dont need to buy tripods you can easily get lvl 4 tripods by just doing chaos everyday. Crystalline Aura is nice to have but also not necessarily needed. Ive been playing the past month completely without Aura (1475ilvl with 1430/45alts). I agree that books and crystals are overpriced for new players but that is the case in every mmorpg after thr playerbase has matured. The problem with this game is as repeatedly mentioned already by others: Gatekeeping. You are forced to gatekeep because you can't waste your time failing/teaching raids with new people bc its an alt character based game and you need the time to do ur homework on all chars.

@Silence0598
Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately no, lost ark is inherently a game that revolves around end game raids and does not have many good 'casual options'. There is horizontal content such as islands and collectables but outside those the game doesnt offer much. Life skilling is tedious, monotonous and above all else completely botted out to the point where turning a profit is inefficient and not worthwhile. The current player housing system on na/eu/sa is not great and is similar to alot of mobile game strongholds. Basically tabs and crafting tabs. In the future they will be adding internal housing decoration but that is only available on kr and we dont know when that update will hit the western version of the game. Hope this helps.
