Keep the cope. Aion 2 isnt even on the same league as Lost Ark. You paying sub for mobile game, the combat is ass and raids are boring. You could fall asleep and still win.

You missed my point. I'm not saying people can't enjoy the game or that they are wrong for spending money on it. I'm saying that companies follow money. If people keep spending on the same shit, why would NCSoft change anything? From their perspective, what they are doing is working.

If Aion 3 released with the same problems and people stopped spending money on it, do you really think NCSoft would just keep doing the exact same thing forever? Obviously not. They would have to reconsider their approach, because the current one wouldn't be generating the results they want.

Of course, that doesn't guarantee they will make the game better, but money is one of the biggest factors behind these decisions. That's not an opinion, that's how businesses work.

And I'm not trying to change what people enjoy. If you like the game, play it. But don't act like players have no influence over what companies produce and then complain when those companies keep following the same business model. You can't expect different results while continuing to reward the same decisions.

These games dont live long for a reason. They gather your money and move on, on remaking same model on something new.

Normal mode is pretty much useless now, they introduced Matchmaking mode where you can either solo or do with a group but failing is impossible because you have infinite revives and rewards are exactly the same as Normal Mode. The only difference is 50% gold you get is non-tradable.

Hard Mode is usually couple extra new mechs and sometimes some are hidden.
Nightmare Mode is higher hp, more dps needed and more mechs are hidden.(As F2P i can do them cause I played that long but its mainly whale content and besides more hidden mechs the rewards mainly are same and same amount with slightly more gold, so if you experienced Hard Mode its pretty much similar stuff in Nightmare, wouldnt be missing out on anything new.)

RIght now Main 3 raids are Cathedral, Serka and Belgardin.

Cathedral is like a filler raid and super easy, it has 1 wipe mech in G1 where you have to point boss towards the bell and he dashes and hits the bell but if someone misses or gets stunned he does wipe mech, but by that time usually people have Hyper Awakening saved up and if you use it you can survive and party members can revive and continue. In G2 there are spike flags going around the arena in circle. Boss spawns wave from the middle and people go X3 positions and do guard by pressing G and pointing 3 oclock points to 6 oclock and so on, if someone points it towards the boss its a wipe but failing that would be intenional aim at the wrong thing and no one does that.

For Serka there is one in g2 where you have to do just guard and stagger clone.
For Belgardin there are couple too i think.

I know it sounds like its the same thing but its really not. I did play since launch and still playing. The difficulty of those wipe mechs been reduced by a lot. The revives are shared now and restore every 3 minutes, serka and cathedral are 4 man raid and belga new one 8 man. I may be biased so idk but to me if you think failing those mechs are kinda hard.

Because that was years ago and a lot of stuff changed. Its not 2022. If someone asked is it worth playing Lost Ark and you said that outdated info you basically lying. At least that is how it looks for me.

I never said they didnt failed and you are right it was too late.

They would if people werent degends and stopped playing that slop. Imagine NCSOFT releases Aion 3 and its exactly like this but nobody spent a dime. You think they will keep wasting money and releasing that shit or try something new ? They will change stuff if needed. Players just forgot they can vote with they wallets. And hearing comments from some people in this subbredit like they need money to change things is dumbest comment ever. How about you dont make this shit in the first place.

How is asking 110k cp for vakron is a bit :DDDD, not every lobbies so its not a fact for every lobby but the fact I have to see this is ridiculous. They could have easily made raids like equalized for people over 80k CP to be at 80K CP even if you 160K, but if you lower you have what you have. This imo just eliminates gatekeeping if they dont show actual CP on profiles and ban tools that do show that.

Oh so i should get ass drilled on my sin on S1 just cause later it gets better :DDDDD, yeah just just swallow :D What are we doing these days.

You guyz really stop using outdated info from years ago. Its not even true anymore. The game barely has wipe mechs. Yes back in the days game had bunch of wipe mechs and it was annoying but they reduced that by a lot. Some raid dont have 1 and some raids have 1 or 2.

Please stop talking with outdated info :D, it was back then and not now. You can finish 6 alt raids these days in 1-2 days if you wanted to. There are always highest tier raids that only whales can get but those raids are almost exactly the same. The main difference usually right now is that mechs are hidden and you have to see boss movements. Hard Mode raids are perfectly fine as they give exactly the same amount of mats and the gold difference aint that big. The biggest problem right now in lost ark is class balance, gem gap for new players, lack of content and all old shitty systems that need tot be removed faster. By no means it's best game ever but when I hear people comparing it to aion 2 its biggest ragebait ever. One succeeds on PvE content to the highest degree and other is a flop macro auto battle giberish.

No shit, lost ark is miles ahead of aion 2 in combat and raids. Before I even started game i knew its gonna be dead way faster and by dead i mean whales will make this game alive just like aion 1 but nobody will play this toxic ncsoft game. People just never learn, idk if they are dumb or they coping they changed.

facts, those downvotes is a proof they like to be drilled in the ass and they begging for it :D

The game was dead the moment it was launched in KR and TW. The game had 0 chance. Even KR starts rioting against the slop they release. All these KR streamers say its for KR audience are coping. Its most likely the only shit they get released and have to swallow like we do.

I still play lost ark, cause I enjoy combat. If you have static the systems around it are bearable. But it too me 6k hours to reach where everyone is somewhat. I can do latest contents. But I have semi-static. Like at least lost ark has great combat and great raids so paying doesnt feel as bad unlike aion 2 or tnl, or bless unleashed. They are not even trying I swear they have the same excel sheet and they follow it to make games.

Dont you have the 2 cast skill that can evade 99% of attacks. Does it not work on that.

Good. It means the game design was flawed to begin with if you cant move on your own pace. Casual people should stop giving to this bs grind. Move on your own pace and if you cant just quit cause game clearly not respecting your time before you even get to the grind.

Funny you say that. Cause we didnt learn that :DDDD, else they wouldnt release it to begin with. If anything they are the ones who winning and learned perfectly well what it takes to steal your money. Its the players who never learn and keep playing and supporting this garbage. Just stop supporting KMMO genre and they will never release in the west.

clearly bored idiot

Well yeah. But it suppose to be that new island stuff and bunch of other shit allegedly + its been like a year without proper update so if they dont deliver now its like what they were doing all this time.

😂

Actually those 100k are not even tourists but bots. Check the bottom part of the graph. One is linear and one is wavy. Wavy is normal its how it should be and linear it means bots 24/7 and since players aint bots allegedly it should be wave. So all it says enough bots were banned for more healthy game.

For now yes. But not everyone play 160h a week. As casual player since i mainly play lost ark im like 1560 ilvl and 78k gs just chilling. How long will i be able to do that ;d

Its like you baiting for some toxic comments. Best Gameplay ??? ok bud. Open the drawer and check again.

That is only for your first gold piece, the rest is guaranteed and 25% chance for splended. Majority people do mistake by not leveling crafting and doing that like at 70%. I leveled up to 96% i think and i did it first try, not so say i might be llucky.

With what lobbies you gonna do vakron or urugugu if you wait that long ? They not gonna wait for my slow 1500 ass :D, by that time they will ask 150k lobies
