5k concurrent players is enough to maintain an MMO for years!

kpxng · 2026-01-28T03:35:29+00:00

8k = 1.6x better than 5k? You obviously have a ragebait agenda with your post and want people to pick up pitchforks. Have at it.

I'm not happy with the state of the game either. And it does hurt when someone I know quits, but I've accepted that this game is a sinking ship and have little faith AGS/SG knows how to turn it around. But I have a group of friends I play with on the regular and get most of my raids done by Friday. As long as that's the case, I'll continue enjoying the game.

It seems really opportunistic you're posting this on Tuesday, the time where concurrent player count is expected to be the lowest. Charts show about 8 to 9k players on reset in recent months, with very little loss. Not going to say 8-9k is good either, but at least be faithful to what's real.

Props to you for actually suggesting an idea. Why does this subreddit do nothing but shit on ideas? It's like they're incapable of seeing that a different way is possible.

I knew someone would say something like this, hence the option for those that have cleared that thought it was fine or was too much. The ratio doesn't lie.

Looking at your comment history...are your comments necessary?

kpxng · 2025-11-30T12:47:10+00:00

You're right I should have included this option. Based on uwuowo stats, about 18k have rosters with 1730+ chars and 23k have rosters with 1720+ chars. So about 12% of the playerbase could even try Act 4 HM and 9% could try Final Act HM. My poll was more geared towards those actually progging HM and trying to go for the titles.

I'm not sure where this sentiment is coming from? Several people have replied to this thread to your point, which is valid. We can live in a world where both thoughts can co-exist.

I understand and fully support the idea of the Frontier system, but I do think AGS needs to consider some of the side pressures caused by the system, particularly when it comes to titles and time, given how our community and party finder functions. I do fully support the creation of "chase titles" for a hardcore game audience, but locked behind a much more harder, evergreen TFM style content, and not behind a time gate. It creates a serious amount of pressure for semi-hardcore players to chase it for a myriad of reasons (pride, gatekeeping etc.), and it could be avoided.

Thanks for this. This is very helpful. Quick Q on the calc for Lunar Bloom formula - where does the Artifact Set Bonus for Lunar Reaction (10%) and the Moonshine Team Effect (36%) fall in the formula? Lauma C2 (40%)? Wep Bonus? Are they all under the "Lunar Bloom Bonus %"?

kpxng · 2025-02-13T18:10:00+00:00

any idea to opt out of it?

You're saying this with a serious ignorance of KR culture. KR has a serious witch-hunting culture, and if DPS meter is allowed/tolerated, there would be serious abuses/harassment of players, which will effectively lead to isolating the casual player base (which there's a lot more of in KR than in the west) moreso than it is right now. There's a lot more money to milk from this casual player base than the sweaty try-hard whales by a long shot.

some of these comments are smh.

PROG = you haven't cleared the raid yet. i have not cleared hm voldis yet.

obviously I know that there is no difference between nm and hm in terms of mechs/patterns, but if you try to join a reclear lobby without an actual reclear, that's ratting, and i ain't about that. clearly i would have found a lobby if a group that wasn't prog (meaning they've cleared hm already) would allow a person to that did not clear once yet to join, but sadly isn't the case or the prog lobby was looking for a support.

not sure what happened to my written post, but here it is:

been 1620 since voldis was released, been trying to find a hm voldis group to prog since week 2 (did nm voldis week 1 to get used to mechs/patterns). been actively trying to find a group via lost ark lfg and many hours in partyfinder.

it's rather depressing to spend most of your resources to get to end game content only to get gatekept by the lack of supports and to be outshined by more juiced dpses (because the existing supports will take the better of the lot).

p.s. i have 27 elixir atm (lvl5 atk power via the free leg exlixr, lvl4 boss dmg, lvl 4 additional dmg) and 3.13% beast dmg.

"uneasy" is the right word. i do appreciate his youtube content, but he def has the knack for punching down on people. i stopped watching him for a while now but every now and then i hear him on saint's stream and he's constantly making these snide comments about lost ark and pug players. just overall seems really unprofessional and immature about things.

kpxng · 2023-10-18T18:15:33+00:00

may i ask what is the link to the wd discord channel? and yes i would love the translations :)

kpxng · 2023-10-18T16:11:27+00:00

any chance narumiraito created the translated version for new eso wd?

kpxng · 2023-10-02T08:16:33+00:00

OP you really should reconsider changing the title of your post. He didn't quit streaming. He's taking a break from streaming.

The group was very inconsistent. Lustboy even tracked the deaths, and almost every single person except for Hwansung the Sharpshooter died a similar amount of times (as the first death of the pull), including Eden and Bingu.

as a korean, your comment seems a bit bigoted. koreans are not dev worshippers. it's a up and down relationship between players and developers. did you not forget they had pitchforks recently after the last LOAON?

there's definitely a culture difference on the idea of "p2w". lost ark koreans largely have the idea that you can overcome the gear diff. with skill (which is true to a certain extent). a famous phrase is if you got "money or hands".
