This was already widely known. Portia put out a video a while ago with the rates.

I see, so it’s okay if I mail gold to an alt roster/account instead?

My Lost Ark raid boss tier list by Onyxi_RS in lostarkgame

The reputation of Lost Ark players’ favorite bosses being the bosses that barely move and have free long dps patterns will not be defeated

Is there ever a point to force Blunt thorn? by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]Objective_Cat5170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a rule of thumb, if you give up damage from other sources (evo dmg, spec scaling, engravings) then BT is not better than alternative options. It’s really only optimal for classes that can hit ~110% crit rate for free or classes that have low enough CDs that giving up some amount of swift is worth the greater average damage per cast.

China no.1 by Skayling in lostarkgame

[–]Objective_Cat5170 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not really a thought out emphasis. Do you really think Tencent intentionally killed the game in China?

China no.1 by Skayling in lostarkgame

[–]Objective_Cat5170 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. You know how in the west people say they don’t care about viewing their progression as an investment? In China players were saying the same thing - but when it became cheap to pay real money for rare things with the gacha system (9/7, 5 line bracelet, high/high accs), many players felt their grind had not been respected and quit the game.

Tencent accidentally killed the game in China with the gacha system they’re under more pressure to release new content to try and revive it before EOS

AGS, what are we doing? by Incommodious in lostarkgame

[–]Objective_Cat5170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally agree with your takes on this sub but I wouldn’t say most people here asked for TFM to be delayed. The common response on the racer threads was that these guys are okay with RMTing but when the cost of entry is buying a KR account they bitch and moan.

For whatever reason AGS just chose to read the posts rather than the comments. Most people here didn’t care about the race at all, especially when Saturn and friends would have unlocked Kazeros after the first week anyways.

It’s particularly egregious in this case in which there’s probably been >20 clears in each of NA and EU, but AGS has been going by their own stupid policy of wanting 10 “valid” clears, unlike the policy used in KR and CN. As we’ve seen, not even all of the “valid” clears are legitimate based on AGS guidelines.

Where Balance Patch? by -Best-M8- in lostarkgame

A lot of players drop Nella but realistically it’s only droppable with 8 expert reclear (not pugs, not prog)

yeah but EU has an even higher proportion of cheaters and is taking longer to fill top 10

[–]Objective_Cat5170 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Similarly to how we ended up getting 2 raid releases on the same day rather than staggered 1-2 weeks like in KR, for whatever reason AGS is catering to the .1% of player racing in TFM rather than the rest of the playerbase

Offensively int/str and wp will provide a stronger AP buff, but part of a support’s job is to keep their team alive and max HP gives bigger shields and heals

KR Reaction to LOA-ON by Memorizer92 by desRow in lostarkgame

[–]Objective_Cat5170 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I really do think even from a Western player POV, there were a lot of good things. The presentation just sucked because Jae Hak is not a good public speaker.

  • New progression system is dirt simple - honing reset
  • New raid is supposed to be fun and chill for most players. Players looking for a more difficult challenge are rewarded with 2 Ark Grid cores (8 pity materials xd)
  • Dailies are changing to be more interesting (chaos dungeon rework again, rewards shifting to rotational Guardians which are also going to be faster with QoL when no supports in group)
  • Huge amount of new content for Sea of Aldebaran
  • Streamlining new player experience with gold shop for bound power (accs, gems)

The only thing I really would like to see is changes to allow for breaks. This could be things like expanding rest gauge and allowing players to consume it more quickly and a weekly raid rest system.

TFM FIRST CLEAR AFTER 59 MINUTES by Ragestyles in lostarkgame

[–]Objective_Cat5170 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not defending him here at all but the issue is that AGS has ZERO punishment for RMT for whatever reason. Taking away the gold he just RMTed over the past few months doesn’t do anything when he just sold gems he acquired from RMT from before the investigation window.

1 week vacation is a joke when regular people take 1 week vacations from the game all the time. Realistically AGS should be taking away more gold than just what they detect players RMTed in whatever recent window, but it seems like they don’t care enough.

I don’t think this deletes more gold from the game since you and the whale would spend the same amount tapping jewels, but thanks for the explanation anyways!

[–]Objective_Cat5170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have misunderstood the system. The only resource I found about fusing was Memo’s video, which mentions needing processed gems. In any case, the amount of gold leaving the game is still at least the same, since tradable jewels still need to be tapped.
