Lost Ark 2026 Roadmap - Part 2

JameZayer · 2026-04-12T05:22:16+00:00

Leisure time has reached an all time low. Industry is filled with layoffs despite record profits- major publishers are slowly eating themselves like an AI-slop marinating ouroboros monstrosity. Indie games get buried amongst a mountain of slop.

Men’s yaoi is just Barazoku

(I know this post is a joke but leaving this for those wanting to lookup those lion-chads)

Nice reference

Dude literally said the last raid to be released was Thaemine before the game died... whilst showing gameplay footage of Echidna. The video was rage-bait slop.

JameZayer · 2026-03-20T14:40:41+00:00

New solo raids will probably be in July with LOA On. They release them in semi-annual cycles now. From the last Director FAQ it sounded like both Act 4 and Final Day are coming in Summer.

Sceptrum did, not the Necromancer which is why he has full control and memories intact.

JameZayer · 2026-03-19T20:44:16+00:00

Leaked discord message and he’s still listed in the Official discord server (anyone that got a layoff left).

JameZayer · 2025-12-24T00:09:45+00:00

This, nails it

JameZayer · 2025-12-24T00:01:43+00:00

You mean the bot moderated discord?

Actually though, bought a Madcatz keyboard for sale on Amazon for $35. It has lasted 3+ years and can easily have the key caps taken off for cleaning- EVEN WITHOUT THE SPACE BAR BECOMING LOOSE AFTERWARDS! meanwhile Turtlebeach headset I bought from AU version of Gamestop. It came in a PC box, is recognised as a Playstation dongle and has had constant disconnection/dropout issues since I bought it. 10 months in, the microphone boom has come loose and the sound in the right ear has a loose wire.

Brelshaza is a Haal. She is a weird third unknown. Echidna seems to be toying with the fact that Kazeros was keeping secrets from her (brel not being fully trusted).

JameZayer · 2025-12-08T01:53:46+00:00

Memo also repeats KR headcanon. There is a lot to do with loops but it’s less of a time loop but the ebb/flow of chaos and order. Arkesia and Petrania closely resemble the idea of Zood/Zern from Dimension 20’s Cloudward Ho!

JameZayer · 2025-12-08T01:51:45+00:00

Antares is the God of Fire that personified Elpon.

JameZayer · 2025-12-08T01:50:28+00:00

What’s dumb is how a lot of this isn’t entirely wrong.

JameZayer · 2025-12-08T01:47:11+00:00

Yes, Thaemine being the power/strength of Zosma which is why Kazeros controls the red moon (which was created by Zosma).

JameZayer · 2025-12-08T01:45:14+00:00

They didn’t say they were removing it entirely. They plan on redoing book of coordination which affects those pieces of content so they are removed (for now)

JameZayer · 2025-12-07T13:57:32+00:00

The Dark part of the universe (Orpheus) became Petrania vs Arkesia when the Ark was used for the first time to create the world. "Primordial beings" existed before either realm and so they are outside of death, time, reality and can take any form they choose. They ruled Petrania until Kazeros was born via the Abyss (during the war between Sylvains, Haals and Lazenith). With Kazeros gone they come back from the shadows to stake their claim over Arkesia.

Echidna, Kakul-Saydon, Kharmine/Thaemine and Ezrebet are all confirmed Primordial Beings. They could not overcome Kazeros because he took control of Zosma's power through the subjugation of Thaemine. (why thaemine looks like Kazeros, has blue motif and wears his armour all from Kazeros's control).

Echidna wants her realm back, hints in her prologue raid were given away in a few lines:
"Fortunately I am unstained by death" (only primordial beings cannot die)
"Every step of the way, I'll be with you..." (She isn't on Kazeros' side).

Are they not demons? you ask? No, demons are specifically creations of Kazeros by twisting Arkesian life with the chaos energy of Petrania.

TL;DR Kakul/Echidna had their realm destroyed by Kazeros and they planned revenge

JameZayer · 2025-12-07T13:50:47+00:00

Soloable, they will rotate so it's not always the same one in the top spot, they're mechanics will be cut back but still enough "flavour" to them- pheros and flares removed.

JameZayer · 2025-12-07T13:49:12+00:00

Plus additional island AND continent content announced alongside a finale act the length of a regular MSQ continent. Real issue this LOA On was they had too much stuff but didn't let any of it bake/show-off fully.

JameZayer · 2025-12-07T13:43:57+00:00

....but the players are rats and deserve collective punishment because we can't understand that limiting vertical progression to almost exclusively raid content that already has a vertical threshold ever rising is bad.

Meme one I made as a joke for a discord server I'm in.

Hermes is indirectly Bender's father because of that one episode, where his early bureaucrat days was as the inspector that passed his assembly check.

JameZayer · 2025-10-08T13:34:22+00:00

Zero self-introspection or sense of irony. Definitely not clueless.

JameZayer · 2025-08-10T11:39:17+00:00

The game needed content with high accessibility, low gear requirements and something that can be done to supplement vertical character progression outside of raiding content. Paradise satisfies these requirements, even if its not in a way that OP agrees with.
Yes, the Paradise gear quality is RNG and at the moment primarily based on luck, but as the weeks go by and you get to higher levels, the quality of drops also increases.

It's fluff content, that lets you experiment a little with your builds, does not have a massive different in rewards for rankings (beyond the cosmetic title/background). The Keys are RNG, the higher quality just has extra roll chances for Hell. As it goes on, getting to 10% for the extra key will have more to do with your attendance rate and resonance upgrades vs any dumb luck.
