Thanks :D yeah it was fun

It's a lot of fun and definitely recommend players to try it out for themselves.

True, could have targeted it and I dont remember what I was doing at that moment besides splitting the push between hitting the 3rd and 4th simultaneously but true.

They were fun; win or lose, it's always a blast with this new mod.

No new player is capable of bussing when they're starting out. Just because they've got the gear for it doesn't mean they're skilled enough to bus. In fact yesterday, I was watching my friend trying to do Valtan with a 1613 player who couldn't do orb mech in Valtan and the party disbanded. As for the rewards; it is difficult for new players to even get into Akkan to learn him in the first place, let alone fill up a "learner" party with people who are willing to ignore the "reclear fast" parties. That's partially why I said in the video that solo raids should pay similarly to hard; depending on how they're designed, it should prove to be just as challenging, if not more so than the party raids. Instead of having people to keep going if you die, you've gotta restart over and over solo. New and returning players should be sped past the older content/older raids so we can get more people towards the newer raids/newer content. If you cannot get enough of your player population to the newer content, then good luck filling lobbies in the nearest of futures. There was already a post on reddit that I was reading yesterday talking about Thaemine lobbies having difficulty filling due to lower player populations at that stage of the game, which has resulted in even more busses (filling up the slots with dead weight just to raid). www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/1digcju/endgame_playerbase_increased_raid_difficulty/

As a day one player, the game just isn’t accessible for new players, but a lot of that will change with the solo mode. It still doesn’t solve the gatekeeping due to not leaning the raids week one, but it is a start.

@@rc8929 As a day one player who took a year break, things definitely need to change to help new and returning players re-integrate with the community. I'm only able to join raids because I managed to get LoS18 as I quit so people aren't gatekeeping as much. For my buddy who is new, it's been incredibly painful for them to get into raids solo and has had to tag with me 95% of the time.

What a dumb take. They are doing it for very obvious reasons: to milk whales using FOMO for every last dollar. It's the entire idea behind this game. Make gameplay worse for players and make the solution spending money - typical asian/mobile game.

@@SeOuLStEaL Los18 is easy enough to achieve as a fresh player nowadays.

@@sele4049 Not really though; new players might be getting handed more white, blue, and purple cards but not tons and tons of legendaries. It'll still take quite a bit of time for them to come close to LoS 18. My Mokoko friend only now got their LoS18 about 2 days or so ago and it took them a long time to get it. The change to wandering merchants was definitely a good one, but I would like to see more of the legendary cards made possible to acquire that are part of the LoS through the merchants. I don't even know what other way I'm going to finish my LoS besides the RNG packs that we can get with pirate coins and the stronghold stuff.

Thats why its just my opinion as a returning player and thinking about my mokoko friends; not everyone has the same luxuries as those who have been playing much longer. The main argument for wanting the buffs sooner is to help mokoko's be able to bank more gold with more characters sooner rather than later. It makes it gives them 1 less month to prepare than someone such as myself who has their 6 gold earners + 14 characters that can run chaos dungeons/guardians. I'm only about 1 month into my return and I'm not sweating the whole transition; but I see plenty of people who aren't and I'm thinking about them more than myself.

Yeah, it was a misclick but still xD

I am returning and I quit after doing brel for a month and now I am back and most likely not gonna see thaemine for like 2 years at this rate.

Other thing which I think could be a fix somewhat. For example when you choose your 6 gold earning characters. You login to the game it should pop-up tab letting you select 4 legion raids you gonna do. After you select them there are few options what to do with the rest raids: Mentor feature where you raid with mokokos and you getting gold reward. It sounds like a bus and probably would be. You could also new currency ikr more currency. You could easily make Mokoko tokens where you can buy weekly pheons, card packs. Basically stuff most people would get. Adding rewards that are needed for some gear progression. Like advanced honing pouch or something like that. But you must have one mokoko/returning player in a group.

Also the big mistake on Smilegate was to assume everyone will go together to the new content. What kind of logic is this in MMORPG genre. This is like Single Player ass logic where you pass through the quest line and you don't ever comeback. This is similar to gatekeeping. The ones who started on launch like me were having fun and when you now that high the previous content no one does or barely and that creates a situation where new players are gatekept so they throw a bone of express pass. It's like you a new student being thrown in an audience of 1M other students to say speech on your first day in school. Than people wonder why he never showed in school the next day and the next day he changes school. I really like this game raids, chaos, guardians, combat but the rest is just PURE GARBAGE. If this was my game I would have done like FF14 and bombarded the game and drop all garbage and reworked the things that did not work. I know that is what they did in kr super early lost ark and it was for the best.

Ban all RMT users even if they are top players, content creators I don't care. That is illegal and people still gonna RMT if you just give them 1 week ban and make it negative gold. Sure if you in negative by 48M gold there is no way you gonna make that up like you finished, it's over. But I am talking for like 1M. They still can play game. WHY ??? Even if you track person for RMT 10 gold just permaban. I used to play AION in super old days and when someone RMT they would get banned within 5-10minutes. That is what I seen on videos and I can't confirm myself since I don't do this shit.

I have a Zerg/Protoss army; using the best units for the situation from each race. A hybrid army :)
