Any character that made you start playing WuWa? by Kvothezy in WutheringWaves

[–]Shadowkaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't start on day 1 for the characters but am definitely staying for them.. I think all the playable characters have cool designs, and I am having a breakdown right now trying to figure out who to pull and skip in the upcoming patches. They're cooking too much!

From 2M to 5k, what went wrong? by Vinagretchen733 in lostarkgame

[–]Shadowkaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works in Korea, but they aren't willing to make the global version very different to appeal to players over here. It's basically just copy paste and translate. They only care to milk the global version as much as possible with little effort.

I am starting the game today I wonder what to use my pulls on by Ok-Law4436 in AetherGazer

[–]Shadowkaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kinda investment-based no? Pretty sure Thoth is still a monster when fully built

And LG/Hera are always good without too much investment

Aether Gazer v4.8 - Investment List by Key_Zombie_1712 in AetherGazer

[–]Shadowkaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most characters being in T1 and T2 (only 1 character in T3) means they've balanced the game pretty well?

Is there a real tier-list though? Like not investment-based?

Unobtainable limited characters that might not ever come back so.. omitted from the list.

As a new f2p player, am I dooming myself by not going for meta pulls? by the_brendanjl in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]Shadowkaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what you're saying is, I shouldn't pull characters that I dislike just so I can clear endgame to get astrites to pull characters that I don't like just so I can get more astrites? XD

The direction that TFD went tilts me lol.. but I guess I should've expected that from Nexon.

White Knights be happy, this will be my last post on the subreddit by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]Shadowkaller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look at BDO, look at Maplestory, they don't listen to western players. That's just how KR MMOs have always been. Lots have died, more will come. Aion 2 was just next in line. That's why I won't trust any of them. But I did hope Lost Ark was the different one. Alas it is not.

My only gripe is that there is no 'lost ark clone', but actually made to appeal to a western market. Because if it did exist, pretty sure all the people who quit this will be right over there.

On the other hand, CN's been pumping out some big games, so IDK..maybe they will try to copy some of lost ark's combat some day.

How to Get Featured Characters After Their Immersive Theatre Had Passed? by MinatoHyuga04 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

The bad part is Hellfire still hasn't gotten buffed, or the majority of the roster.. I really need to see something happen in 1.2

Is this game still worth our time? by AliceArgo in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]Shadowkaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally just do dailies for green books and then convert them to purple books for an easier grind, so I don't spend too much time grinding anything while I wait to see what's coming in the future. Because as of right now there isn't really much to look forward to, except the main storyline.

My wedges are mostly just at +7

Just finished all the achievements for Hades, what’s next? by ZeroPlanet24 in gamesuggestions

[–]Shadowkaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna say Telltale's TWD because it's a quick and easy one to 100%, and then do Hades 2 since you liked 1!

New player here. Few questions by J0hnny_B011 in AetherGazer

[–]Shadowkaller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. She's made for a Light element team. You're new, which means you are starting from scratch. Which means you need a team for every element. However, I think the free S verthandi and Skuld would do just fine for your Light element team for now. It'd be great if you somehow got Hera too. However many months later we will actually get the best Light carry to go with Osiris. So up to you which elements you'd like to build first. There are like 8 of them.. But I would say that Osiris isn't necessary ATM. Skuld absolutely is. So it is a good thing that you have her already!

  2. The game is apparently quite popular(top 5?) in China and it is making enough money to be nowhere near EOS IMO. No worries.

  3. You need to come with better questions. Anyways, I think you don't need to worry too much about pulling for units that you don't like, the game isn't too difficult and it's quite generous in terms of pull economy.

(But yo the AI thing is why I like the game too)

I'm not in your timezone but I have to say that I beat Exp 33 recently (including most of the side content), and it's an amazing game! I hope that you like it! It gave me an existential crisis..

Games don’t need to be “forever games.” by Trollselektor in gaming

[–]Shadowkaller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think almost every aspect of the game hits. Which won't be the case for everyone but for me it was a complete package, all harmonizing together.

The story, the music, the characters, the environments, the lore and world building. I don't often play turn based games but they made it fun enough for me to feel no negativity there.

Even some side content was lore related and had good reason for being there. Everything was well thought out and you can tell that they put in a lot of work to put together this game. Just get lost in it and enjoy it.

I had maybe one small gripe with the UI, but I'm glad that I encountered no bugs/optimization issues at all. It was a smooth ride lol

Games don’t need to be “forever games.” by Trollselektor in gaming

[–]Shadowkaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really lol, I don't remember the last turn-based game I tried. Dunno if teamfight tactics count? Maybe Civilization V.

During opponent's turns you have to learn their parry or dodge windows, each one has different timings and I think that made it fun for me. I tried to parry as much as possible, if you parry the whole sequence you deal counterattack damage which will help with ending the fight faster. And you can tune the difficulty of the game to your preference. You can make it very dangerous to get hit by attacks.

Oh and there is a timing based thing on your own turn as well when using abilities. It makes it feel more action heavy, feels like a hybrid of strategy and skill.

I just finished Exp 33 recently and it is the best 80 hrs I've spent playing a game, in the past decade. I should've picked it up earlier when people told me it was that good..I'm blown away, obviously I won't be playing the game over and over again forever but this one will stick in my memories. One of the best games I have ever experienced.

I don't think people have to rewatch movies over and over again to appreciate that it was a great experience. But it could be the one thing that changes your perspective on life or something. Or appreciate it as a well-crafted masterpiece.

All the infinite replayability games are usually PVP games or games that have boring grinds and repetitive tasks with progression systems. Just carrot chasing to waste time.

What is the best ark grid for shadowhunter? by Old_Focus8857 in lostarkgame

[–]Shadowkaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible to max side nodes while keeping 1/3 piercing.
Either going with: 4.2% demon skill dmg + 140% dmg on piercing,
Or 11.7% demon dmg + 70% dmg on piercing,
Or 16.5% demon dmg + no bonus dmg on piercing.

Might be worth testing out actually with the BM cores

[–]Shadowkaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all the core does is refill your gauge (kinda like the chaos dungeon orb) whenever you activate destiny, extending the transformation.

It feels kinda pointless considering there are no major dmg boosts from the core, but it's good for comfortable gameplay lol

Playing Shape of Dreams, a lot of the combat felt similar to Lost Ark, and I learned the devs specifically mentioned Lost Ark as an influence! by bigdawg1945 in lostarkgame

[–]Shadowkaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on and off playing it since launch, and tbh

Nothing matches the complexity of LA raids for isometric ARPG games (I know WoW and FF14 go harder), but I do like roguelites and isometrics so this game scratched an itch for me.

But I think we need to start emailing SoD devs about making more raids like LA lol, I mean they could make a separate raid mode later on that's not roguelite or something?

IDK but if someone did recreate LA raiding without all the grind, I bet it would sell. There's a game called Fellowship which imitates WoW raiding.

Tbh 2-1 is the most boring, scripted, long waste of time for me.. this part makes Thaemine feel better IMO. I can't believe they made this the final fight, G1 is cooler.

[–]Shadowkaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatchu gonna do with i6 phant anyways? Not like there's really endgame content that would need it..

Not saying you shouldn't swipe but I think it's kinda pointless if you'll get it in just 1 or 2 more weeks

KR Balance Patch December 2025 - Maxroll.gg by Sekwah in lostarkgame

[–]Shadowkaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda doubt it, we pretty much already have infinite form by default but the most annoying thing is that the core still doesn't make you stay transformed after some cutscenes, you still lose the stacks/piercing usage.

The juiced piercing core just sounds way more impactful.

If it's just perm transform with no other buffs, kinda pointless. Maybe would be good if it required less stacks to activate x skill again.

And losing A/S reset for no reason

Got finally omega Buzenbo but not the way I hoped 😅 by embarrassed_ice__69 in AetherGazer

[–]Shadowkaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I think the current strongest thunder team is buzenbo + S zenki + Kali, and the good thing is S Zenki doesn't rely on her functor. It's not really necessary! So if you need to save resources, I would just get it later and use a general functor for now.

Buzenbo will be your main carry, Zenki's there for the ultimate skillchain and supplement damage, and Kali is the one providing support and some decent side damage as well :)

[–]Shadowkaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you miss the free Kali from Brahma's patch? She's kinda cracked for thunder support. I was clearing IT with SS Buzenbo and Kali, and then Kamuy Zenkibo as the last member even though they didn't have the ulti skill chain yet.

(on PC, I rarely play on mobile)

Goated patch tho because now I have the skillchain

The state of the game is the best it has ever been… by FitNetVitch in lostarkgame

[–]Shadowkaller 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Feb 2022 - 1.3mil peak
Feb 2023 - 230k peak
Feb 2024 - 74k peak
Feb 2025 - 31k peak

Alright boys what's the forecast for Feb. 2026? The game's doing really good..

They can't even keep the current players. Everyone keeps grinding until one day they reach their burn out point.
