  • help i've been thinking about playing lost ark should i play it?????
    yes my son play the game and don't let the big scary bad people tell you the game is awful because of x y z despite them having gotten literal thousands of hours of enjoyment out of it
    game has problems but you're new and none of the issues are so egregious that it should be cause for telling people who are interested in the game to stay away

      true , this game has the worst catchup mechanics ever.
      and that's why it's dying so fast and has 0 new players besides bots.

    I realy enjoyed the game, but some systems made me quit after 2k hours (dont regret them, had a Lot of Fun).
    Maybe when they fix the farming and remove pheons from Stones and bracelets i'll come back, thats what made me quit:
    First - ALL the farming stuff: Dont get me wrong, i like farming, bc i enjoy the classes gameplay (i only play classe i enjoy and recommend everybody doing the same), but with ALL of the stuff u can do, some ppl want to do everything in one day and thats insane, thats why ppl gatekeep soooo much, bc they're ALWAYS in a hurry, im not a bad player, i get mechs very easy, but It doesnt matter If i know the Raid and Boss atk patterns, If someone misses (not their fault, we are human and make mistakes, and, everybody needs to learn) but what pisses me off are the entitled ppl that gets tilted bc someone made a mistake, and then proceeds to quit, so you need to Go out and find New parties, If ppl werent in a rush to clear everything as fast as possible gatekeeping wouldnt be that big of a problem, of course this balance should be taken with 6 chars in mind, If someone wants to have 15+ alts thats their decision, and problem, they made It knowing its a Lot.
    Second - Pheons: Specialy when buying Stones or bracelets, i dont have a problem with ACCs pheons, since they are a single purchase, but OMG the Stones, why leave them in RNG itens????
    I spent more than 150k Gold and did NOT got a good Stone for one of my alts, see, the problem is not spending 150k on Stones, i wouldnt mind that, but most of this Gold was ALL spent on pheons so could buy the Stones, If ALL this Gold was spent exclusively on Stones i would prob got a good one.
    So yeah, maybe If the game fix this twoo problems i Will get back.
    If you're still playing i Hope you're having Fun!
    Nice day to everyone!

      taking a break isnt a bad idea either, and you're always able to come back later. i definitely understand the feeling though and even if you decide to not play again later on then at least you (hopefully) had fun with the time you spent in game

      @shredman59 Рік тому +4

      The end game content takes a lot of time to learn and trying to do it solo (ie...with Pick Up Groups) is very hard. Some people are pretty toxic and have no patience for people trying to learn. But the only way to learn is to watch guide videos and actually try the content. It's a bit of a catch-22. BUT, I recently met a small group of people in a guardian raid who invited me to their discord and brought me on a couple of raids with them. It was a complete game changer. They helped me through the mechanics and it was a lot of fun. If you did enjoy the game, I would encourage you to find a group to join up in voice chat and do raids with. I don't know the best ways to find a group, but maybe joining in with youtube content creator groups.

    Chris Bro. Supporter and subscriber and love this direction. The game needs lil Mokokos and lil Mokokos need content creators like you...
    But..
    This will probably just confuse someone unfamiliar with the game. You're a minute in and you're talking about Rapport and Omnium Stars and finishing a quest called Bervers Friend and like so much specific stuff only someone with 100hrs+ starts to comprehend.
    Just take a step back from all the interconnected specific pieces and keep it high level: there's horizontal progression that rewards you over the long term, those rewards can also make you more powerful. The game benefits people who stick with frequent small progress.
    Just think about someone with no idea about the game - other than general MMO things - and frame it for them. Good luck brother C, this is a good direction and valuable content.

    I would like to share my own thoughts as someone who started playing the game a 3-4 weeks ago. My lostark experience so far was both horrible and fun. The goldmaking is huge problem for beginners, I sometimes need to wait a week just to progress a little on my main. after getting my alts relatively good spot I'm having a bit better time but still, its a problem. Gatekeeping is also a huge problem but thanks to joining a beginner friendly guild I get lots of helps, they even offered to do learning runs for me. Overral I would say if you enjoy the game you can play as much as you want without caring what anyone has to say, It all comes down to enjoying.

    I started to play WOW and FF. I will still play LA but not much due to the amount of gatekeeping little to none learning parties for each legion raid. I created multiple learning groups just to sit for hours and no one joins. As a support main the amount bitching of a support shortage but being gatekept at G4 Brel. I will still play this game but spending my money on WOW and FF for a piece of mind. WOW can be toxic but rather take the toxicity of WoW players than LA.

  • @1995Intervention
    @1995Intervention Рік тому +21

    I have to say, Lost Ark in my opinion has one of the worst new player experience of all time. Here's a couple of reasons why:
    1. Gatekeeping: in terms of sets, titles, engravings, cards, roster lvl etc
    2. Insane investment needed to play the "fun" raiding content.
    3. FOMO: Unless you play daily there is no way you will be doing the newest content on release, and if you don't you will have an incredibly hard time finding groups or supports to join your own learning raids -> which circles back to gatekeeping.
    4. Every relevant content for your account like: abyssal dungeons t1-t2 are completely dead content for the current player base, and even if you get a group they will oneshot everything for you because they are doing "card runs". I have had multiple friends asking me if they should start playing Lost Ark with me but I could not find myself to actually recommend the game for them at all (I did highlight the cool raids and screenshared for them).
    5. Powerpasses are microtransaction bait.
    6. Almost forgot to mention the bot issue which lead to multiple changes to gold aquasition which again lead to newer players having almost no way of making gold in a reasonable pace. Try telling someone they either have to swipe if they want to get to some cool content and to play it or do 10 minutes of dailies every day for like a month. Yeaah not gonna happen.

    Thanks for the video. Would recommend trying to write a script to make it easier to go over the points you want to get across. I stopped playing while waiting for clown over summer, guild merged and i got kicked while waiting, for not donating and contributing. At that point I had other stuff going on so I didn't want to find another guild and was scared of going into clown with pugs and being rusty.
    I am excited for Artist and have been looking for an excuse to start playing again which is why i watched this video.
    I will say that this game is not great for playing on and off, it kind of needs to be your "main" game and is deffinatly the most fun with a community or friends. I think Lost Ark is way better than Diablo 3, but i've played in the last 4 seasons in D3 just to check out what is new. The barrier of entry and time commitment is very low.
    I put over 1000 hours into Lost Ark, just about as much time on the game as my full time job at avg. 6 hours a day. Basicly a second job at that point. I loved it and it was the most fun I've had with a game since being introduced to WoW back in WotLK.
    I will try to give the game a chance by playing Artist, and a bit on my main. But I can't go back to grinding 6 characters. There is just so much great entertainment content I want to consume during a week, that timegated progress and content just doesn't suit me that well anymore.

    So true.....a marathon not a sprint. That being said, smilegate really needs to work on the beginning game content. Lucky for me I started playing relatively early after release but still there were very few actual human interactions. It felt like a solo, questing arpg for many hours of play. Unless you have friends that play and encourage you to continue, a lot of players will quit the game. Especially now with all the bots.
