Lost Ark Online

[Damned Registrations]

Yes, 'rare' shit like being able to fast travel instead of spending half your time walking through empty roads to go back to town, having enough inventory space to not clean out the vendor trash (and 30 types of lootboxes you can't ever open) every 5 minutes, being able to run a dungeon more than once a day, having more than one character... all that irrelevant shit.

disgusting amount of content added, wave-based dungeons, something called arcade mode, expedition mode (?), "epic raids" which look like interactive movies

more new classes (will they ever stop adding these? must be over 20 classes by now)

Micro-transactions will be related to 1) cosmetics, 2) pets, 3) convenience (pretty standard for a B2P Korean MMO tbh)

It's F2P in korea.
They're planning on taking a break at around 18 classes.

37th class announced

That is one hell of a trailer... I really liked it.

 

[Sykar]

37 classes? Can they even be distinct enough?

 

[deama]

When the fuck is this thing coming out already?

 

[Nelka]

When the fuck is this thing coming out already?

RU open beta is out, you can easily play via VPN. It's f2p, but no idea about in-game itemshop. Also there's a unofficial English patch and a way to change audio from RU to korean.

Last time I tried a VPN for a game it gave me around 200ms latency, I think it's best that I wait till it releases, I keep hearing it should come out next year?

 

[Gerrard]

Too bad Russian is not any more readable than Korean.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Playing this one a lot nowadays, English patch is meh at best but still does the job, got a good VPN also (kinda needed in Turkey anyways...)
Game is really an Asian MMO grindfest but we are having fun for now, much more better gameplay than most games.

 

[Gerrard]

I just hope that if it comes out in English they get a good publisher not some jewlord like Enmasse.

Game is really an Asian MMO grindfest

If you just want cool story missions you don't need to grind. Running only main story quests is enough to get you to lvl cap. Grind starts after this.

Stopped reading at "Korean".

Stopped reading at "Korean".

Yeah, females are not manly enough for your taste.

 

[luj1]

Sykar it's crazy how influential LA ended up being.

Diablo 4

Wolcen practically cloned the classes without shame

 

[Alphard]

Why games like this, with fun gameplay, come to west after they are already old and when the hype has already died out? And when they come publishers prefer to milk the whales and kill the game fast, instead of supporting the game with content? Do they do not realize the potential of these game, and the starve for fun action combat mmos, or simply they are too greedy? I don't understand

Korean MMO Lost Ark will not release in EU and NA in 2020

Popular Korean MMO Lost Ark will not be coming to Europe and North America in 2020 as the developer Smilegate don't have any plans for western expansion in the near future.

Lost Ark is a fairly new MMO from the Korean developer Smilegate. The game gained huge popularity upon its release but was only available in South Korea and has expanded to Russia recently. Still, the game lacks Europe and North America release, where a huge chunk of players have been playing the game using various methods, which include purchasing Korean accounts and phone numbers.

Last year, Smilegate said that Lost Ark will someday arrive to EU and NA but since then, nothing has been said about the expansion and by the looks of it, Lost Ark will not have a Western release anytime soon. Korean website The Bell reports that Smilegate do not have any plans for EU and NA release at the moment and are focused on the existing versions and the upcoming Japanese release.

Apparently, the localisation is the biggest issue for the developer as it takes a lot of time to translate all subtitles and record new, English voices. On top of that, the devs are pretty busy with the Japanese version, which basically means that you can forget about Lost Ark EU/NA servers in 2020.

Now, this will come as a disappointment to many MMO fans who wait for the English version of Lost Ark but according to reports, Lost Ark is losing popularity in Korea pretty fast due to its poor endgame and monetisation model, which is described by players as "pay2progress".

All in all, by the time Lost Ark finally releases in the West, players will probably have much better options available in Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2.

It's decent game to finish story once, but after that it's one of the worst mmos i've ever played. It's fucking BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING! You do same things EACH DAY for month to upgrade your t1 equip and when it's maxed - you do EXACT SAME thing for another month to upgrade your t2 equip. And quess what? After that you start doing EXACT SAME THINGS to upgrade your t2,5 equip(and this time because russian publisher decided to sell upgrade materials in shop and changed recipe)

So its exactly like every other Korean mmo.

Damn, I was so hyped to play it this year...
