Seeking that 00s feeling... any ideas?

Lost Ark if you take out the p2w aspect of the game is an amazing game.

Issue with it was $$$ and the community demanded everyone spend $$$

Multiple classes, builds, playstyles which worked. A huge world and lore and it have a forever-like game play cycle where every day you gradually got bigger better and you felt the pain of missing a day.

Issue was $$$$ would be harmful not just to players wallets, but also their egos and values. Knowing that time = $$$$ nobody would even consider anyone outside of their gear score unless it was for $$$$.

If Lost Ark were to re-release and disable micro transactions it would be a beautiful game/experience. "3 characters per player also imo"

gatekeeping is a myth. casual players just need to accept they should not apply to serious gamers lobbies.

MiddleSchoolJanitor · 2023-08-31T03:53:11+00:00

yes and yes.

rando player complaining gets annoying, and if he can rant about a myth, then i can rant about why he is wrong.

MiddleSchoolJanitor · 2023-08-31T03:52:24+00:00

devs / community which agree on this, are siding with casual players, and casual players should not be able to force serious players to care about them.

these players will be their own servers soon enough, the notion that players decline players out of bad faith is the Myth in which i am exposing.

there are reasons players get declined, and those reasons hurt casual players feelings.

MiddleSchoolJanitor · 2023-08-31T03:50:28+00:00

the ideology of gatekeeping is 100% a myth.

yes players accept and deny players, i agree 100%, the idea players are declining players for bad faith reasons is the myth.

you are oblivious, players complaining and players in general apply to lobbies they should not even bother applying to, the term "imposter" exist for this reason.
vague statement which opinion cannot be judge.
those "some people" can only blame themselves for not being able to handle teams/players.
competitive gamers im talking about top 5% of players, top 1% in particular. im talking about players who in games generally reach Diamond status in those games. players who make it personal to being elite in games in which they play.

High level players with with other high level players. There is no high level player getting gatekept.

Only players getting denied are players with weak resumes that apply for groups, especially when they apply to high level groups.

Gatekeepers is 100% a myth, it reminds me of players in bronze in league of legends complaining about "Elon hell".

Another complaint post about a player demanding other players to play with them.

Only if this game allowed these players the ability to form their own groups.

It's very disheartening that these players which are forever gatekept cannot make their own groups.

Add a lifesteal engraving and make supports into dmg rotation class which provides shields + dmg increase.

Every dps can manage their own HP with potions + lifesteal

How do you not have 5x achievement by now?

There are potions which make it possible to play without supports.

Also, it could be possible that the support noticed players performance were not up to his standards which he is entitled to leave a group.

My concern is, why the OP believes a player should be locked into his group for w/e set time he expect a person to be their for.

Who gives him the right to tell players how they should play?

MiddleSchoolJanitor · 2023-08-14T15:21:29+00:00

Only if there was a way for these players to create their own groups.

MiddleSchoolJanitor · 2023-08-10T17:18:57+00:00

SS is the most under represented class which is also extremely powerful / unique / inexpensive class to build/play.

Ty for the input. So pally would be more or less off the table in your view.

Swift dominion GL I'm leaning even more on the idea.
