whoizrez: im ngl people that say "lost ark is too easy" are either oilers, RMT'ers, bussers, or copers. the game is plenty hard enough since it requires coordination from everyone and memorization of raids. we dont need every game to be dark souls bois.
asdf86yt: Bro the game is hard enough. Yes, prog was fun but I'm over it. Let me farm my gold and take half the week off, ain't nobody wants jails.
Absolutely shitting on raids is its own kind of fun, and I'm all for it.
mertyaman3318: if anybody want hardmode on lost ark create new acc and face against gatekeeping/gold earning/cardset/trans/elixir/gems/roster build/ gettin 10x title/dailies-weeklies. dont rmt dont swipe dont get u in lobby with friends try hardcore lost ark lmao bozos bricking everywall with money rmt then complaining lost ark too easy.
kenpachithe3rd185: The frontier system is good as it is, if you want more challenge ask for hell content... as a member a the casual community ( who dabble from time to time on hard modes) we like the raids the way it is right now (raid difficulty and raid homeworks). you said it yourself.. you are a whale and play with whales.. you dont represent the majority of the player base. 4 stages of nerfs, 2 weeks each is perfect.
MiguelSedek: L take nobody wants to spend the whole week jailed in a fking hard raid.. thaemine times comed to my mind
PikaPika-s6k: L take, of course the game is easy for people playing it like a 2nd job
odinnosferatu: More solo modes. No one wants to play with you sweats that take a video game this serious.
FancyPantsNick-f7g: I don't like the titles because I'm permanently branded a shitter just because I was busy for a few weeks during the release of brel. I spent 12 hours in PF the first 2 weeks and I was doing 125mil in G2 but I just couldn't put in enough time and roll the dice on enough parties to get a clear, so now I get mocked by other people over something I effectively had no control over.
CCCPWarHammer: noone cares...your a streamer you still get carried and given easy road....you will NEVER experience the true pug feels.....bozo
HUNTOisbehindyou: If you play the last hm raid 6x times each week because you have an insane roster, no shit things are easy LOL.
georgiefav: I do like the guy, but his effort to make objective overview is truly hilarious. Me as a 1700 db and a the ability to play late I still coudn't find a way to prog this raid because of time constraints. I also have infinite money because of market shenanigans. The raid is hard even at last frontier, since people die left and right all over the place.
ABILITY TO ENTER HARD MODE AFTER I CLEARED NORMAL MODE (get the additional mats if you manage to clear hardmode after normal) A REAL NEED.
This allows normal andies to actually make the game not dead at the end of the week, where we have completed our homework and can chill on hm prog without the stupid chase for money mentality. Allows normal andies to further train their mains and not get locked after 1 hour of raiding with the current HW raids.
Rocru19: I know you say gatekeeping is having standards but gatekeeping. Keeps new and returning players from learning the raids and i know you mention joing a community. But what community will teach any new or returning player said fight? People learn at different speed and some people might pick a fight in one or two runs and some people more. I don't see anybodys discord or any other type of community doing this. So yeah Lost ark is a slowly dieing game here in the west. In the end I enjoyed the game when it first released but hate to be a doom sayer. I can not wait for this game to die..
Drummerfy: Extreme versions of every raid would be nice, like Hell Hanu with no book of coordination, one time clear rewards but able to reclear for fun or maybe even a token of some sort to exchange for stuff would be interesting.
Thereisnohope6699: This content creators don't know how critizies the game anymore and let look the game bad to new people and returning
potatoe1975: Guy doesn’t live in the real world.
Tell a new player he’s got to farm 700k worth of good by earning 25k from 6 raids per week just to enter T4 on one character.
We’re mentioning the QoL cussion on endgame and forget about the elephant in the room.
OpinionsAreFree26: I think 2 weeks after the final nerf, they can reintroduce 'the first unnerfed' back into the raid as a seperate mode with additional gold and chase items. That way the player base can enjoy nerfed hard mode and the sweaty players who want a challenge can get that challenge
SojuGrizzly: Nerfing the DMG on a boss like Brel HM was good. This is a homework raid now and to be honest I do want to get it done. I do think with the frontier system you could give people the option to do it on a higher difficulty for no extra rewards if they want to but once a raid becomes homework it should be a good time but also a thing that gets done.
It's enough that learning a raid takes 10 hours in a week and that is fine every couple of months and exciting, but HP & DMG nerfs, so that simply you dont have to fish for that one run where nobody messes up or later on simply makes it that 95% of the runs are clears right away, is good.
1NabbinatoR: i mean guys, just wait for act 3 and kazeros raid if u think the frontier system nerf is too much or too fast. (responding also to the part of nerfing the damage taken xd)
i will be here even for just look at the comment section to see if you guys change your mind!
since at this point is pretty clear that the monetization of this game is all about baiting people in with easy to moderate content like Aegir at the start of a season, ù
to then progressively milk the invested playerbase with escalating harder content like brel, then act 3... then kazeros raid
(director already confirmed in a live that he want outdid thaemine difficulty btw)
so is the same cycle. average to casual people won't even clear gate 3 in normal mode of act 4,
and they will get gatekeep because like in ACT 3, spoiler allert xdi, another hard mode lock material is in our way. yes. they are repeating more or less the same mistake.
because is not a mistake. is all intended to make SOME people quit.
They don't want SOME veteran people stick for too long because the game has a broken economy of recycling gems and what not.
somehow the gold sink of this game become more manageable without swiping for ppl that stick for long time than lets say a completely new face player..
and as a starter u know what system are a scam and what not.. and when and how much to wait.. they don't want the game will only "aware people"
is a difficulty concept to explain without a wall of text but that is my theory
anyway. about the phantom lord title, we will see how the situation evolve in future raids, because is not clear yet what will happen to people brain
when and IF the difficulty get INSANE like in kazeros.
maybe in that raid people will start to ask the week 1 title for homework. who knows. we speaking 2 soon. in general those new title are dangerous. i don't like them.
but if i have to give a feedback. at least make the phantom lord one week only and not 2. so that way is very borderline to bus, and add that extra week of time in title 2 and 3 difficulty.
about equalized hell mode i hope they fix the ark passive stat and yes... that they put all the new raid for fun and the usual title. like u said it takes almost 0 dev time in the end.
chinoez: I think Cauttyh is a pretty cool guy. Eh does backflips and doesnt afraid of anything.
prosperigiorgio: The best way to deal with frontier system could be waiting 2 weeks and look on the data of the % clears and decide if its’ the time to go on next stage or not, and so on.
Doing it on time base is easy, but to be fair if they put some more effort on this they could just look on the data first
MyKarlFranz: Why i alwause hear "lost ark is too easy" from ppl with full 1690 alts rosters?
Atyuialsen: I agree with a lot of your points. It's just a shame that some of the changes require dev work which SG doesn't do unless they see profit
JeyJ24: Parse goblins should be punished more. I agree
TheJungleWalrus: Are we ever getting frontier nerfs on the soy levels?
Luckys-Rease-0liver: Still felt like a toss up pugging brel hard on ilvl this week. Seems like everyone on ilvl has an overhoned wep and just get one shot by stacking mechs. On the flip side normal is really ez. Ive seen 2 scouters and 2 sups solo the last 145 bars with copious amounts of time left before enrage.
cyborg7162: Agree with the 2nd part of the video because stage 4 HM "easy as fuck" may be a sweaty POV, i bet the avg andy still stick in NM or could clear HM only due to last stage,
In EU if u dont have PL/PB, you are excluded from the big majority of HM lobbies, even the PW struggle to enter, let alone people that has no title LOL,
My worries is that without official game metrics (% users clearing HM during first two stage) it is really hard to say if nerfs were good or not for the game OVERALL,
We could be completly out of touch with the global playerbase (non-twitch sweaty users) and those takes could lead to alienate a playerbase that is already getting to the size of a cult
AlexLBF: Its not easy LFG Aegir for 1 character takes from 1-5 hours to find a support or even get invited into a group. So yeah its hella hard 12k concurrent playerbase btw dead game and im addicted to it ...
