This is actually the perfect time to take market share of other arpg games like poe and Diablo as lost ark has the best combat in comparison to the arpg games. There is also nothing new in that space for a long time till at least when poe2 comes out which might be mid to late 2025.
Really looking forward to the solo-ization of content. I'm a returning player, and I'm finding it pretty difficult to push past 1415. No parties for Valtan normal to progress along the gear treadmill. Even tried joining a guild, but I don't think they run it either. I boosted a breaker with the Elgacia pass, but I don't want to use the mokoko express on him; the class is fun and all, but I don't know if I want to make that my main. Not sure who'll read this, but if there's any advice for a player like me, it'd be much appreciated!
use mokoko pass, there will be other passes in the future so don't be that worried right now besides having that character at that level now would only increase the amount of gold you could make to save up for when solo content drops. just use that class to play some of the "newer" content have some fun in elgaycia the story there is not half bad tbh I recently came back I want to say maybe beginning of feb there's a lot you can do just to have some fun until we get the solo content perhaps grind the adventure tome? might not be the most fun path in the game to take but it will 100% help you in the long run when solo content drops just try to get all the skill points at min. try joining random lost ark discord servers and asking if anyone there would be willing to run valtan with you or if anyone has an alt that needs to run it I assume most people don't now days but when I came back in feb I was able to get into a few through dc you just really gotta look around in ALL the lost ark servers.
There's going to be so much players that will play solo raids and not touch current raids due to the gatekeeping/toxicity. It's a good thing at the end, more players is always better.
Thank god man cuz I’m hard stuck at 1490 and oreha fusion is a bitch to get so being able to do some raids would help us who started later in the games life to be able to enjoy the other content
theres such a thing as morale. if the group is very hostile some players wont play as good as they are when there are 7 other people breathing down your neck for 1 mistake.
It is not about people sucking. Some people cannot even get the chance to prove they are good and learn raids because of the community demands as well as the usual unreasonable gatekeeping. Also, 90% of Western player base is casual. All MMOs that have achieved a degree of success here have made old raids solo. And only kept end game raids group-oriented. If Lost Ark wants to survive long term in the West, it has to attract the casual audience in some way. And solo raids is a good trade off. You will reach a point where you will no longer care about most raids, because on your main you will only do the 3 latest raids and the rest you just farm for gold.
Time for my name to shine! Massively Singleplayer Online RPG That said, a lot players (not all) enjoy playing alone while still existing in a game world that allows them to interact or group up with people should they ever want to. That said, how this gets executed would shape the experience immensely. I'm open to the idea since I like playing solo in MMOs as much as possible.
FFXIV can be soloable mostly and works just fine. Hard content should be the only thing that requires interacting with people, the rest should just be soloable and would work just fine.
when they speak about balance, i dont undestand why nobody ask them if Demonic impulse or LEgacy ovelution are balnced for them.... 2 gem 0 tripopd class that never shine
Why does support shortage matter so much at this point, my prediction once solo raids starts nobody has to worry about shortages at all 😂 imo. Who would play with a bunch of picky people when you yourself can finish the raid with any engraving you want or have.
@Carlos-qg2me new and returning players mostly run raids for the progression mats. Like eyes and orbs and elixirs. I'm sure if u gave them the same mats they won't care about a few k gold nerf if they can actualy complete the sett without some mouth breather gatekeeping them
So, basically, they are going back on everything they promised to improve when everybody left the game ? Well, only have to wait for people to be pissed off enough to leave massively again so we can have better balance, better QoL and so on, see you then.
"game is perfectly balanced" lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣, at this point, it's either they have become delusional since they don't even play their own game, or they just don't care anymore, and just try to milk LOA as much as possible to fund that mobile game, which tbh is gonna net them a ton of money when they release it in china
im far from hardcore with my BA ilvl 1450 i used pass on a paladin to lose mokoko stat try some new content getting easy accepted while properly learning mechanics on my play char.. i love LA but i feel like this game hates newer players like me with mokoko status and no full engravings i got blocked from even joining hard valtan, now i lost my mokoko buff still same ilvl and im getting stuck with players higher ilvl than me not knowing mechs.. gg powerpasses
make solo content> everyone does it> no groups> everyone gets bored since there is no mmo aspect> everyone quits postives: newbies have easier time xdd
as gold river said, the solo content will never be a main content from the game, that's only little help for newbie to catch up, if you want to do latest content , have to join a group
nope, people won't get bored just because it's no group content, only if the content is bad. look at path of exile, you can pretty much do 100% of the game alone if you play SSF or 90% alone if you play trade league, given that 10% is just you waiting around to trade with other people
Tbf I just made an alt account and she struggles getting into brel with level 10 surge gem rest level 7’s, 5x3, and DD18. It’s almost impossible for new players to find groups
I really hope they do the solo raids properly so it doesnt fuck over all supports in lower content
I hope they fuck it up for supports so while dps does it solo they have to find a group and suffer like all dps did waiting for supps to join
@@sayo2170 I already have to suffer with dogshit dps like you in my party
@@sayo2170 such a bitter attitude to have.
up to voldis? damn I might actually have to come back and see this for myself
memorizer translated that director said "back attackers and supports will not have disadvantage" for solo mode stuff
If the reworked solo content is as challenging as it is now in groups how will theamine be that much different? More tilting because of teammates?
???????????????
When will it come? Is there any timeline for that?
Couldn't wait for this banger to drop 😂

Lost ark is not an ARPG. The game is not complex like PoE and is not braindead casual enough for D4 fans
Good summary, thanks. Hopefully they won't fk up anything

what you describe is the man itself. pugging all the way. kanima

Supports don't get gate kept anyway so they have nothing to worry about, they can just do group content.
"im asian, hes asian" bro that math part had me dieing
when they speak about balance, i dont undestand why nobody ask them if Demonic impulse or LEgacy ovelution are balnced for them.... 2 gem 0 tripopd class that never shine
Anything to kill bussing, its a big fat W if they keep the rewards the same.
Why does support shortage matter so much at this point, my prediction once solo raids starts nobody has to worry about shortages at all 😂 imo. Who would play with a bunch of picky people when you yourself can finish the raid with any engraving you want or have.
i feel like "time to troll" the other gs engraving is doing better than PM but gets gatekept even harder, atleast in the west xdd
I actually like the solo content up yo voldis, I don't have time for people
I think as long as the mats are the same, but u get less gold from solo than you would from raiding. it will be good.
That would kinda defeat the purpose if they did that but I can see it.
people mostly run raids for gold, it would be dumb to do that 💀
@Carlos-qg2me oh yeah completely, but this is sg where talking about they definitely would lower the gold or mats cause you're running it "solo."
@Carlos-qg2me new and returning players mostly run raids for the progression mats. Like eyes and orbs and elixirs. I'm sure if u gave them the same mats they won't care about a few k gold nerf if they can actualy complete the sett without some mouth breather gatekeeping them
See you guys in 2027 for the west solo content
GoodTake

It's gaslighting to maintain their cash flow
im far from hardcore with my BA ilvl 1450 i used pass on a paladin to lose mokoko stat try some new content getting easy accepted while properly learning mechanics on my play char.. i love LA but i feel like this game hates newer players like me with mokoko status and no full engravings i got blocked from even joining hard valtan, now i lost my mokoko buff still same ilvl and im getting stuck with players higher ilvl than me not knowing mechs.. gg powerpasses
Meanwhile supports shrieking
Finally solo raid No need for support and the end of RWT Bus ❤ so G2G finally shutdown
make solo content> everyone does it> no groups> everyone gets bored since there is no mmo aspect> everyone quits
postives: newbies have easier time xdd
most people go raid for group content how do you expect them to flex their walle.. i mean skill kekw
as gold river said, the solo content will never be a main content from the game, that's only little help for newbie to catch up, if you want to do latest content , have to join a group
nope, people won't get bored just because it's no group content, only if the content is bad. look at path of exile, you can pretty much do 100% of the game alone if you play SSF or 90% alone if you play trade league, given that 10% is just you waiting around to trade with other people
Solo content would make me play more
Tbf I just made an alt account and she struggles getting into brel with level 10 surge gem rest level 7’s, 5x3, and DD18. It’s almost impossible for new players to find groups
