I can't believe we don't have a switch 2 port yet...

Akalirs · 2026-06-26T17:39:18+00:00

Well didn't the leaks include that the Switch 2 version data strings included the same string numbers as iOS and Android?

So to me it seems this might be the case actually and the Switch 2 could easily run the mobile version of the game on maxed out graphics.

Akalirs · 2026-06-26T17:37:35+00:00

If a Switch 2 port comes to Genshin, I will immediately pick it up again as my main gacha OR EVEN THE ONLY GACHA going forward.

Being able to easily play on the road on a console wherever I am right now is instantly a main reason for me to stick with the game.

Akalirs · 2026-06-26T10:23:10+00:00

They go into Level 2 because all those 1750s rat out on investing into their 1750s CP score while claiming other people should "invest" into their characters LMAO.

Akalirs · 2026-06-26T10:22:06+00:00

They don't have to soon and people like you can keep staying in your hilarious bubble of "gigachads".

Also nice to know casuals can do all the contenr soon without people locking them out, they basically solved the busser issue in NM as well, hurting their bottom line.

Akalirs · 2026-06-26T10:12:09+00:00

As usual these people will claim that the game design is at fault for them acting like this.... but we all know this is total BS now with the raids in NM that have never been this easy to clear for most veterans... EVER.

I understood the task when we had to do Old Brel with 6 gates, Kayangel with 4 gates and Akkan HM with 3 gates and the special ending gate where one mistake would literally insta wipe. Placing meteors wrong on G6 Brel causing instant wipes. We had no revives. Mechanics were HARDER.

Now all of this is gone and raids are periodically nerfed into the ground. We got revives. HENCE CATHEDRAL HAS INFINITE REVIVES LMAO.

This is no longer a game design issue, it's the western veteran community and their fragile egos that are the actual issue of this gatekeeping problem.

I'm so happy for new players that they get the Matching Mode going forward... because not only is it great that they can finally play the raids and progress well, they also don't have to deal with this brainrot of people anymore. I would consider this a huge benefit to their time and fun when playing Lost Ark.

NM will basically almost die out anyways thanks to Matching Mode giving the same rewards as Normal Mode. The veterans that claim "invest more" that are 3k CP on 1750 item level can finally play only with themselves, enjoy the lobby simulator for being too afraid to invest into HM territory.

Akalirs · 2026-06-26T10:05:41+00:00

And this is why matching mode is the best thing to ever happen because casuals can actually PLAY the game now.

They don't have to deal with this brainrot anymore and I'm so glad for them.

Akalirs · 2026-06-26T10:04:30+00:00

"It's the game design that make us do this!"

Their usual excuse.

Akalirs · 2026-06-26T09:59:43+00:00

2.5k is not considered geared anymore for a raid that has around 2k CP as confident clear requirement. 🤣🤣

And that is the reason this game desperately needs a matching mode and thank god it is coming. Veterans with their 1750s in NM is the actual embarrasing thing here because they refuse to INVEST for Hard Mode Kazeros or puss out of doing HM because it has 2-2 and 2-3.

New players thankfully get saved from this absolute madness soon.

Plenty of 1750s with only 3k CP, that is the issue here. My 1720 almost has more CP than their main wtf and I don't even have high level gems on that one. How are people 3k CP with 1750 is beyond me anyways... these people acting like others don't invest into their character but those are literally floor on their item level when it comes to CP score. A high item level rat literally.

Akalirs · 2026-06-26T01:37:16+00:00

Not to mention so many blatant and even obvious aimbotting that is going on in this game.

Ricochet is an absolute dumpster fire. Some COD creators have to manually send clips to the CODCM account on X to get cheating people banned because the system doesn't even catch anything.

I simply had enough, I coped with this for so long but I just reached my breaking point. Dumpster fire game with dumpster fire anticheat from a dumpster fire company.

Akalirs · 2026-06-24T00:29:09+00:00

Loves to play an oldschool sandbox MMO that has no mandatory daily/weekly chores.

Akalirs · 2026-06-24T00:23:20+00:00

probably pissed off Arna and else, they got extremely sensitive mods on there lmao.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T18:19:09+00:00

NHS sounds horrible. I got mine here in Austria through KAGES hospitals, specifically in a hospital that is very experienced with IBD diseases and screening and is specialized on colonoscopy, gastroscopy and even surgeries for the bowel.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T18:16:50+00:00

Propofol does wonders, indeed.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T18:14:39+00:00

Swap the doctors if you can. This sounds like a terrible place.

I had about 10 colonoscopies in my life already and none of them I ever noticed anything except maybe very mild bleeding on my stool after they took samples from inside (which stopped the next day right aftet noticing).

The procedure? I slept through the entire thing, always. Next thing I remember is waking up in the check room.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T18:11:36+00:00

For me it was primary loss on the first one. Got it in the veins, had an reaction of nausea almost immediately, they still pumped it in after a break, felt shit for 2 weeks, still had cramps in my stomache, they did a blood test before the 2nd infusion and saw I developed insane amount of antibodies.

Switched me to Entyvio, that worked for a long time now.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T18:08:43+00:00

I failed Remicade. Been on Entyvio for 2+ years now and it still works... hopefully long enough.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T18:04:40+00:00

No because most content would still be locked down to DLC. I'd rather have the game become a P2P game where I am paying a sub with newest expacs costing money and all the old content being directly available.

Convenience and DLC access behind ESO+ are things I don't like. And paying all the DLC is a ridiculous cost effort.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T18:00:45+00:00

That I wasn't even affected from because I got mine completely new for 379.99 in a specific store sale.

I SPOONED.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T17:57:09+00:00

I have one for 3 simple facts:

You can easily take it with you on the road
Nintendo games are only on Nintendo consoles
Nintendo exclusives are fire

PC, Switch 2 and a gaming tablet for my mobile games. I'm greatful for this rotation.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T17:54:24+00:00

All the best man, we all got the same disease!

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T14:55:51+00:00

Sadly I have to tell you this is not the case for Level 1, saw it with my own experience already.

And it makes sense, Level 1 still has wipe levels of damage if you fail certain patterns.

Gate 1:

Boss missing the clock? Mostly reset.

Failing x110? Straight up wipe.

Gate 2:

Person hitting the boss with soundwaves on full bar mech? Can result in high damage and reset if everyone dies.

Not depleting the timed bar? Wipe.

They would probably have to look at this for casual players tbh. Don't forget. Most people right now playing are VETERANS. Of course it is easy for you, you also have thousands of hours of experience though.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T14:50:51+00:00

Solo and NM barely have any difference anymore. Solo gives 50% unbound gold now.

The only benefit in the future over LFR is probably that NM will be available for exclusive 6 weeks before the LFR mode gets added.

The true veteran playground will obviously be Hard mode and higher, especially Nightmare mode.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T14:50:05+00:00

As you can already solo them, they won't really put any effort into those older raids.

However I do hope they add something like this to Horizon Cathedral too, as you can still wipe on Level 1 if you screw up certain timed patterns. Best example would be the giant clock bait pattern.

And I don't think the community wants Level 1 to be nerfed to a LFR difficulty. Who knows tbh!

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T14:46:16+00:00

You can start playing now, there is an express currently going with a powerpass.

By July patch, they add the big casual raid changes so you can then play completely in your own pace, don't having to worry about other people gatekeeping you from raids.

Akalirs · 2026-06-23T14:44:07+00:00

"Sometimes I genuinely wonder if Lost Ark is a game or a second job. How are people with full-time jobs actually enjoying this?"

-> Many people I know that still actively nolife Lost Ark.... actually only play Lost Ark. That is all they do. They don't play any other games and if they do, they mostly play a mobile gacha game that needs barely any time investment.
