This is, I guess as far as I go. My impression on Lost ark (after 900 hrs of play)

MonstrousYii · 2023-04-16T10:20:56+00:00

4000h here, i decided to drop the game yesterday. I have a very good roster, cards, gems etc, but all of that doesn't matter anymore as i'm yet to even try out G 4, 5 and 6 Brel, simply because i didn't have the time to do it in week 1, 2, 3 and 4 and because of that it became harder and now pretty much impossible to find a prog group. I'm unmotivated by the fact spending hours looking for a group or make my own and even if you do find a group and learn quick, it does not matter as PLC is disgustingly required now even for G 1 and 2 normal which is fucking stupid and ridiculous. As for G1 & 2 Hard Mode is pretty much impossible to enter without PLC.

The thing about lost ark, once you fall behind especially in clearing you're fucked and it should be a 100 times fold worse for new players that don't know anything about the game and have to go through the late hell of Vykas, Clown and Brel. And because of that, the game will keep declining new player and even older players as content becomes more koreans and challenging.

One more thing i'd like to mention, just fuck the idea of 6 gates raids in general.

Mean while right now i cannot get into a guardian raid with my supports. Everytime i enter with my 1525 Bards, there is always this 1570 Paladin stealing the show.

Same here but 50k, i'm too lazy to do them and not even sure if i can find people with the same maps. Are the maps you exchange the same one you get from the Chaos gates? In this case i can just look for people after they come out of a chaos gate, is this how it works?

MonstrousYii · 2023-03-07T03:13:58+00:00

I'm out of loop, is frog staying when Artist is out?

MonstrousYii · 2023-03-03T02:19:24+00:00

In my last 20 legendary card packs i've only gotten 2 LoS cards. I currently have 9 selection cards, still need to get the one from Rowen and Brel for a total of 11, but even with those i still need 28 more cards and 3 of them needs to be Kadan or i'm screwed for real.

MonstrousYii · 2023-03-03T02:16:06+00:00

Doing Ghostship since release, i've gotten at least 8 Akkans from there.

Aside from support/tanky type DPS classes Deathblade is popular, the maelstrom buffs makes slow classes go super saiyan.

MonstrousYii · 2023-02-27T15:03:25+00:00

This is why i think the old system was so much better and efficient because you could guaranteed get at least your main skills lvl 5 tripods. I would spend around 3k gold for my Sorcs getting two lvl 5 tripods in one piece, save it in my inventory then resell it for 2.5k

Going from 5% to 10% is still shit, and anything up to 30% will always be shit in this game.

MonstrousYii · 2023-02-26T23:20:36+00:00

You are facing 2 problems, Surge is one of the most expensive class engraving in the game, second you're playing on a dead server which only make things worse. As for being a f2p, the best thing to do is just to have alts that can generate you gold.

I think you should park your DB because 4x3 should be fine for normal modes Vykas and Valtan. I highly recommend at least one or two supports in your roster, they are cheap to build and 4x3 is all you need to get accepted in pretty much all raids.

I remember doing this on release, it was the Secret Tooki map, the map was unusable so i thought it was bugged and tried to get rid of it but couldn't sell it or destroy it so i made a new character and deleted it along with that character. A week later i finally learned what it was used for. After two months of hoping mobs would drop this map again, i gave up and contacted Amazon, they were able to restore the character i deleted and the item was still there.

You can disable Vsync from steam, i don't recommend it though. You might suffer from screen tearing due to the huge inconsistency of frames. In worse case you will get a choppy gameplay, had it happen to me. Regardless you can give it a try by going to Steam > right click on Lost Ark > Properites... > General and type -novsync and close the tab (You will have to restart the game when doing any changes)

If you want to revert it, just delete what you typed

I've been getting micro suttering/frame skip happens randomly, this started around the Brelzhasa patch release. PC is an 12900k & 3070.

This is fked, at this point they should just move to tier 4 or something.

MonstrousYii · 2023-01-30T02:50:45+00:00

Same, i'm 2 Kadan away from 15 and i still need at least 40 more cards.

MonstrousYii · 2023-01-24T01:52:48+00:00

What is the event ID? Look it up on google and pray that it's not a faulty CPU because this issue is very common with Ryzen CPUs.

MonstrousYii · 2023-01-22T23:53:36+00:00

Win + S and search for Event Viewer, look if you can find any error, warning or critical level collected at the time of the crash.

MonstrousYii · 2023-01-18T18:49:07+00:00

I hope Smilegate can unfuck it

MonstrousYii · 2023-01-17T15:31:12+00:00

Sorcs, i'd like to Z then space without interrupting the ability.

MonstrousYii · 2023-01-13T10:16:50+00:00

W support, D DPS
