      @@furen4962 That's because the casual playerbase are who keep the game alive. The people who spend money on the Mogstation whenever a new outfit drops, the people that spend hours farming for glam even sometimes more than a hardcore raider would spend progging. The casual crowd of FF14 literally keep the game running, the hardcore crowd doesn't really matter that much in FF, they're there to do endgame content and while doing so paying for a sub. So they release endgame content for them. That's about all they have to do, it's quite simple because what other content COULD they do for these hyper endgame players that'll complete all the savages within a week (I was one of them mind you). They give that crowd everything they need to survive. The casual crowd keep the lights on, the hardcore crowd keeps the game fresh with new endgame content as to appease them it necessitates it.

      @@QuestionQuestionMark If you track the active playerbase via those who complete MSQ and then those who have the achievement for completing the raid tier, its actually 50% split. The raiding community has just as much a say in keeping the lights on as the "casuals". Yoshi doesnt know the problems that plague the game because hes too proud to admit mistakes, look at tanks having become practically the same 123 fell cleave tank with slight difference. Look at all 4 healers having the same gameplay loop, look at what happened with Shadowbringers astro, practically unusuable in ultimate content for level 70 it was so butchered. When you think of having fun in this game, its more than likely on a DPS because all the DPS play differently enough from each other to be distinguishable.

    The leveling experience from level 1 to Punika was fucking fantastic. The dungeons were awesome, and some were even masterpieces with their mechanics. As soon as you get to Punika and you have to start farming monotonous bullshit to gear up for the first raid, the game became dogshit. It's like the game went from A+ to F tier immediately.
    Every Korean game always has god-tier combat, but everything else sucks ass. It's like all the Korean game developers took the same "How to make combat good 101" class, and they all stopped after that. It's so bizarre.

      You don't need to do everything on all your alts. You don't need 6 characters ready for the latest content. Focus on your favorite character, then you can slowly push others afterwards. You don't need to do Chaos Dungeons or Guardians on every character every day or even three raids on 6 characters every week to have a character 1580+ well on track to hit 1600 before Akkan is out. For like half a year if not more now I have barely raided after my old static basically stopped doing anything together other than one Brel run a week. (Just weren't as fun to play with strangers over friends.) I have barely done Chaos Dungeons and Guardians. I am still close to 1590 on my main, where my main setback is probably that I have tapped the weapon to 22 going on 23 at 65% pity over focusing on getting all my gear enhanced first. The past couple weeks I've settled into doing (when I feel like it) my Chaos Dungeons on my main and one run per gold earning alt, and only Guardians on my main, as well as doing Bifrost-assisted dailies for Leapstones that are quick and effortless to do on those 6 characters and helping me prep them for when I do eventually maybe do a little item level push on them again from 1490. I don't do Lopang alts, as I don't need it while focusing on mainly my favorite character, I don't do Chaos Dungeons or Guardians on other alts, as I don't really need it, and I don't do more than one Chaos Dungeon on gold earner alts (which every so often becomes a rested run), because I don't really need it, nor do I have the desire to do so. I am certain I will hit 1600 before Akkan hits. Again, I only do these things if I feel like it and will often skip some Chaos Dungeons on the alts. There's no need to do everything so religiously when I mainly focus on my favorite character and at least do some minimum content on that which I enjoy anyways, like the Chaos Dungeon runs. I just make sure to funnel all the extra weekly stuff (like event shop stuff) I can get into that main. Homework fatigue is somewhat self-inflicted because people think it's a necessity, and unless you absolutely need 6 characters ready for the latest content as it releases, there's no need to burn yourself out.

    The problem with Lost Ark is that people wont even come back for the new raids. Because that would require them to either have fully geared characters to begin with, or they have to grind for 3 weeks before they can start the raid. For the first scenario: Thats probably about 3% of the playerbase at most. For the second scenario: Ye, sure. They will 100% do all of that. 'putting my copium away'

      I came back like a week and a half ago (last time I played there was no T3), and there are tons of ways of catching up. I'm already close to 1500 and have no trouble finding groups for the firsts Legion Raids, at least up to Brel. I'm currently honing my alts up to 1370 at least, and even while it's still playable on the latest content, you can feel the lack of people. There's literally no way of doing old content, or even world group content for the most part. Dead chats, ghost towns all over. People is definitely there, but barely barely enough.

      @@ilovewater8720 Ofc you can get boosted by either spending money, or by being boosted by friends. But that would also require your friends having high level chars (so they continued playing). Also, for Thaemine you will need more than level 7 gems and 4x engravings. You will need level 9+ everywhere and you will probably need 5x+1 engravings. That alone is a fuckton of gold (or money) in itself (especially with how fucked the economy in the game is).

    Being new to MMOs I gave this game a go a few months ago. Progressed through the story at my own pace to South Vern, enjoying the lore and epic battle cinematics. Having a laugh with other players when waiting for a world boss or event quest.
    It was a great feeling when I caught up with everyone else in T3, geared up with raid homework on my 2nd monitor. Finally loading into valtan and vykas to only get the shit flamed out of me for not having flawless movement and awareness from raiding since release like most others. You can watch all the videos and read all the cheat sheets in the world. Theory can only get you so far without actual practice and failure.
    I get that the design of the game and progression systems has resulted in everyone impatiently speed running 6 raids a day across alts for efficiency. But as a casual mokoko trying to git gud and progress through the content after a day at work, the fun faded pretty fucking quick. I lasted about 3 weekly resets and straight up uninstalled the game. Felt so refreshed afterwards. I kinda miss my badass arti main but I'm glad I dodged a bullet with this shitshow.

    The other problem that comes with band-aiding issues like this with Hyper Express passes and other ways to fast-track gearing is that it removes the incentive to play outside of the event limits. I can follow the event pass over a couple of days/weeks to hit the end of it with a new character, when doing it outside of that would probably take months as a casual player. Knowing that, there's no reason for me to play the game when I'm not taking advantage of one of those events. The same is true for 2x XP weekends on RuneScape 3 or any of the events in MapleStory; all these events really do is make it apparent how much progress is being gated normally by time or RNG.

    Something Neeko didn't really mention is they're adding ANOTHER vertical progression system. They already have a system the West doesn't, elixirs, which was universally hated and insanely expensive. Now they're adding another system that makes progressing your character even more expensive.

      Where the fuck you get this info that it was universally hated? I have never ever heard it like that from the KR Coomunity or streamers.
      Quite the opposite, it was VERY WELL received by the players and is probably the best vertical progression system they have released ever. This is the consesus I have seen comming from KR.
      It is also the 2nd cheapest way to get a lot of power when you compare DPS you get per gold spent after Tripods, so I have no idea why you think it is that expensive. It costs 200-500k to max it out on a character. To get 20-30% DPS increase. A level 10 DMG gem costs like 450k FOR ONE SKILL to increase your damage by like 7% from level 9 to 10.
      The point of the game is to progress your character, it is literally one of the core reasons why people play this game and not, for example, FF14 where you have no progression at all.
      The progression systems and their amount isn't really the problem, the grinding required for them is.

    I guess almost everyone quit Lost Ark because they realized they didn't want to spend 90% of their daily playtime basically doing "homework". The game is like a teacher at school that tells you "well you have to do some drill for 90% of the lesson and then in the last 10% we're going to do something fun". Nobody wants that in their freetime. I have assignments and chores in real life, I don't need that in a game.

    To this day, I haven't had as much fun playing a game as I did playing Lost Ark. However, I haven't touched Lost Ark for more than a year now because I never found a static group to do raids with and didn't have money to spend to keep up that way, and not enough time to keep up the grinding way. Sad to see a game with such great potential to be in this state

    The reason why companies are waiting to release updates and changes to their game is because of marketing.
    They are trying to focus changes into bigger updates so that they will have more impact and they are hoping to go viral again and get everyone back into playing them.
    They are sacrificing loyalty today for hype tomorrow.

    They literally forgot that Valtan was the peak of Lost Ark's success, that raids needs to be accessible to average player base, not those top 1% hardcore grinders and swipers. Statistics speak for themselves. The entire first half of the game is literally about exploring and progressing, but then suddenly they have to put a wall to time gate players from getting to the next raid, that's when it falls apart because the catch up experience sucks.

    • @BuffPomsky
      @BuffPomsky Před rokem +8

      Valtan is a raid where it's easier to finish with all 8, but it can ALSO be finished with just 1 player. The first couple weeks when Valtan came out, the feeling of seeing the last person in ghost phase clutching the entire team was incomparable.
      idk why every new raid has the "one person fails -> raid wipe'. I would much rather have a raid where for each person who dies, the damage taken increases by 10% or something so it can still be finished but still punishing.

  • @SMACKYOURB1TCHUP
    @SMACKYOURB1TCHUP Před rokem +111

    I sunk 400 hours into Lost Ark. The best part of the game is the content. Can't remember what they are called but the monster hunter type things were really fun and challenging. The raids were also great. The worst part about the game is it's a free korean MMO which means they want you to spend money so the upgrade system makes you want to commit suicide. Seeing all your resources dissapear because your upgrade is a gamble is soul destroying. You literally can't play with friends. Your friends could get really good RNG and be able to play higher level content while your RNG is bad and you're stuck on lower content. What's sad is Diablo 4 has taken allot of ideas from lost ark but have not taken the best bits which is the actual content. All the content in lost ark is harder, more engaging and more enjoyable.

    The gate keeping is real and the frustration of being forced to do raids only for the best loot instead of being able to solo farm or at least only have to do 4 man content would be a lot nicer. I had a lot of fun with the dungeons playing with friends besides the terrible loot upgrade and pheon system but then they all quit at Argos being forced into an 8 man weekly before the legions raids even came out. Trying to get into public raids as a solo or new player is incredibly toxic even if you watch the fights before to try and learn the mechanics.

    i really like the gameplay,combat, raids and cinematics.

    Problem is, actually getting there to do it and when you finally get there.
    you are not invited to groups because people expect that not only you don't make a single mistake the first time you do it, but also they would rather invite people with overgear to farm it "quickly".
    is really hard to find or make progress groups. and all of that takes a long, long time.
    is a shame because the combat and raids by itself is really, really good.

      Lost ark “raids” were one boss out of a regular MMo actual raid. And yet repeating that one boss would be the ENTIRE endgame for months at a time.
      Lost ark dungeons are copy paste repeat instance but only the top 2-3 gave gold.
      99% of the content doesn’t matter because it’s below oneshot enemy difficulty and literally rewards you nothing. Yet every new content drop simply replaces the one endgame fight with a different one.

    just feels like they're trying to rinse as much money as they can before the game dies

    I prefer my solution for Guardians Raids and Chaos Dungeon, let the amount of boat dispatch not consume the amount of dispatch in a day after you fully finished your 1st CD and GR both times, after that, you can dispatch the amount of the character you have to complete them. Job Done!
    The thing is, I don't think they care if they fix the game or not, the 5% of the richer and more addicted people of the game who still play, pay their all their build.

    You should be able to do homework on ANY character (if you have 10 characters, you should be able to do 6 sets of homework on 1 character if you want, or 3x2, or all on each char, etc..) If you feel like focusing your main, or your new alt, you should be able to.. It's so un-fun when you are enjoying a character but CAN'T keep playing it, because you ran out of homework to do on it.

    Still can't believe the people behind one of the most F2P friendly mobile Gacha games ever made (Unless it's a different Smilegate Studio? I'm not sure.), did Lost Ark.
