Lost Ark I͏s͏ O͏V͏E͏R͏

it's funny that this video is 1year ago asmon talking about LA and new world will be dead and now New world has 4k player and LA is 20k and 50% of that is bots

go play wow gurl

surley people will come back for t4 this sept? Aware

Ong I played it for a couple days on release and was like this is gonna go down hill

Now down to dead player count

The first year of the game was absolute FIRE.

Lost Ark's director in AGS just dipped today.... not good

Oh wow this video has aged well, after 10 months, pretty much Lost Ark West is beyond saving at this point after Thaemine released. Now it is 10k sweatlords playing with 50k bots. Steam revenue is dipped sometime even lower than Stardew Valley , what a joke.

I was end id because of All the Bots and the high prices to Upgrade

Players only kept increasing since that video
This is quite a good score for mmorpgs these days. Most of mmorpgs I played had like 1k playerbase

seems like its turned around. 60k players today alone

lost ark is shity game,shity system,shity comunity,lost ark is not cassual or newbie friendly,100% PAY TO WIN

All they got to do is stop acting like a dying korean MMO and be a good korean mmo lol. Their competition is dev studios who threw in the towel and embraced apathy. AGS and SG, just give a shit lol

No one cares anymore. just quit mmos . there is a reason why that is a dying breed

Im so fucking disappointed with how lost arks downfall is going. Dont get me wrong it could have been avoided they dug their own graves, but Ive never liked combat in a game as i did in this one and im so fucking sad they made it pay to win and grindy in late game. :C

for me it`s was one of the best rpg games but now its dead sad

I played since day 1 right until valtan release and i ragequit cause even after not missing a single day and playing 4-6 chars depending on nhow burnt out i was i still wasnt allowed to play valtan on week 1 cause i was 2 upgrades short ............... now i come back 2 years later use a powerpasse and the gatekeeping shitshow im witnessing with all the toxicity and pay2win clowns is atrocious. you are not allowed to play the game literally

From the moment the delivered a game with incoherent story because of cut content and triple L writing, the game is already over. How are you going to keep players invested in a world on NPCs that they couldn't care less.

Do the developers just not understand how damn annoying the game is to a Western gamer? It's annoying even to Eastern gamers.

Lost Ark is the kind of game where their problem isn't that they're lacking things in it. They are 80% fluffy garbage. the game would be amazing if the it was stripped down to just that fun 20%. Make it a game about dungeons and getting dope gear.

All MMO are trashed. They all paid to win, grinding. Same shit over and over again. gets boring

Even asmon hoping for this game raise again, to be honest this is best game i've ever but my favorites is the raid i just wonder when this game got delete i will never forget all of the feel when im raiding brelshaza gate 6, that was completely amazing raid i've ever run, but it is what it is...................

i put over 200 hours in game but i quite due to grinding for a very tiny boost in upgrades.

The thing was Lost Ark is they dont think about their competition.
Why you gonna play that p2w garbage over PoE which is free with no fomo or p2w?

not a good mmorpg out right now

if the game has shit pvp, the game will die. Lost ark's pvp is a bad joke

I argued with people about how the monetization design will doom the game from the beginning and there was so much cope, everyone saying "it's fine just make alts" or something. I played like 12 hours a day to reach the raids, I reached them and beat them with a guild I joined, and my opinion never changed. The campaign is boring most npcs are all the same and clicking through the dialogue is a chore. Islands are decent but nothing special, all of them are copy/paste quests an AI could write that have you fetch or kill something. It is a soul sucking piece of shit game that forces you to do the absolutely most mind numbingly monotonous shit and abuse it's own premium mechanics just to be able to play it without running into a wall that only your wallet can hammer through.

you know i didnt mind the grind because my boot camp was everquest when i was younger but i stopped playing lost ark because i always had this sence of feeling like i needed to spend money to catch up to the crowd

I wish to come back to this game, but that Pay to Win thing is insane...

I hated that is was basically a bot ridden chore-simulator. The combat is literally the best thing about the game and what is the most limited in terms of progress? Combat. You pick up shit as dailies and get timegated for everything thats combat. How stupid you gotta be as a dev? I don't make the best racing sim in existence and then let the players cut grass near the racetrack daily as the progression system lmao

Don't get why he says 'you really have to fumbn le the bag to have maplestory beating lost ark' when he knows NOTHING about maple? The game is actually really good and fun to alot of people and that's why it's still relevant after 20+ years. The boss fights are fun and cool, people enjoy the classes and systems alot, and the dailies are actually extremely tolerable taking only about 20 minutes a day.

Plus they have 'Reboot' which essentially removes trading eliminating all pay to win in game and the only way you could possible have 'p2w' at that point is paying for carries, but they saw that and even updated it so you can't get loot from a boss unless you do 5% dmg which eliminates hyper carries and makes it so if ur going to pay for a carry u still have to do a decent chunk of damage and stay alive through mechanics or u will get no loot.

It's a god damn shame that this had to be a Korean MMO of all things as the actual gameplay and everything leading up to endgame is stellar and even the endgame content with legion raids and whatnot is fantastic, but this game was absolutely ruined by the grind and p2w aspects that accompany every korean mmo in existence. If you weren't playing 6 characters or racking up your credit card bill then you would be progressing at a snails pace which means that by the time you hit certain tiers of endgame content, it's gonna be dead and the only people running it are gonna want people who have done it before or people who are charging others to get carried through it.

Trying to find a group for legion raids that wasn't completely toxic was also impossible unless you had a static group that somehow stuck with the insane grindfest, meaning you either put up with the toxic dipshits and have a horrible time OR you pay a guy to carry you through the whole thing and have a horrible time.

This game is a prime example of an incredible game being ruined by its playerbase and MTX, though the player base being insufferable was definitely the bigger issue I had with the game.

watching this in december , 5 months after this video and i can tell you now that lost ark is indeed not dead and the same people play that cried about this :D

as a more casual player of lost ark, all I want is to be able to do everything by myself, nothing sucks more than grinding for an island's soul and finding out its impossible without 20 people. Also, the daily system is trash, I hate being grind limited based on daily caps, I would rather need to do 20 quests/dungeons in a row that take me 20 hours then 10 once a day.

D4 is far from killing LOA, look at the steam chart...

I returned the other day and elgacia made all my time feel worth it

Maplestory is and will always be better than lost ark 😂2D pos? Cope machine go brrrrr

Islands were fun the first 30+ then it got annoying doing daily stuff, if they could add the monsters into the actual world and maybe changing it up every month or so might be enjoyable but honestly, the issue is combat/doing the same shit everyday sucks no matter what we do. I quit cause I didn't want to grind as hard, they made it to easy to level up then to hard at the end. I got about 1k hours in then was like nah, im good, did horizontal content, was fun.

Also you can’t get the 7th ark yet

the boosting to 1540 is good, lot of people know to play but they just dont wanna grind to endgame. But then your still stuck there, whenever the event is removed, you lose your 5x3 engravings, you lose your gems, you need like 500k gold to recover and do actual 1540 raids but yea, is overwhelming

is a no life and p2w game. I did to 51- 1100 set and was enough

i would do a chaos dungeon 100 times in a day. but twice a day everyday is absolute garbage. being forced to do things on their shcedule to get any rewards is not fun for me. i want the option to grind and progress when i wanna grind and progress.

to be fair, maple story 2 also lost to maple story

try to do a co-op stream with Saintone to talk about the game.

REMOVE ALL 1 SHOTS AND MAKE THEM INTO HIGH DMG MECHS INSTEAD PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE

Asmondgold's takes here are actually not good at all
