[@brelyxp6290]

i'll put this here made by saintone about the raid difficulty G1 and G2 aren't meant to be cripplingly difficult (against Thaemine's captains). It's meant that you're able to actually complete them without fatigue weekly. On the other hand, there is a severe difficulty spike starting from G3. It's not meant to be completed without great trouble, even on subsequent clears. The fights against Thaemine himself will introduce new types of patterns and mechanics that they haven't used in previous raids. Thaemine's G3 is comparable in difficulty to the initial prog of Brelshaza G6. However, Brelshaza G6 was mechanic/gimmick heavy, whereas Thaemine is more heavy on normal pattern (high complexity regular attacks). Thaemine's G4 on the other hand is on another level of difficulty beyond either of those. The developers believe it'll take over a week for the first clear to appear (for reference, Brelshaza's first clear took 3 days). They think it'll take 2 days for people to arrive at the 3rd gate. Gate 3 has three different phases within that gate according to one of the developers. The group that defeats Thaemine first will actually get a special reward. They'll be recorded if they're able to defeat him in the first week, and there'll be something else (unmentioned). This is the very first time they're doing a first clear kind of thing for something that wasn't a Hell Guardian. A unique title reward will be given to the first 10 groups that can take down the boss in the first week. There is also a special trophy and statue for the stronghold for the first ten clearing groups. Three types of rewards based on your placement.

I am sorry, but where is the link to the original video????

[@wanted11123]

That fight looks straight out from Final Fantasy LOL

[@ilovewater8720]

Without all the flashing epileptic lights everywhere..that shit is cancer to watch.

[@nateschwartz8677]

This fight screamed Advent Children

AS I WAS WRITING ABOUT THE QUALITY asmon says it doesnt have blizzards polish etc, i DISAGREE. I think they've raised the bar above what they did for d4 even though that was really high.

[@baconbankai]

yeah I'm never coming back to this game doing 12 guardians and 12 chaos dungeons a day between 6 characters was not fun. Along with all the scheduled rng events needed for skill points and other needed stuff. All my friends quit before even hitting Vultan the only enjoyable part of this game was the raids which you only get to play like 5% of the time the rest is just chores. The game has a monetary incentive to make the character and account progression as tedious as possible.

[@mohammedbilaluddin2630]

Unironically with the current catch up mechanics you could come back and do the first 3-4 raids within a day or two of making a brand new account. Then quit after you had your fun progging the raids.

[@papercuttzi7297]

Damn this cinematic screams "asian". Armor so detailed, it looks like noise, but graphics somehow look really low quality at the same time. And every little detail is stolen from some aspect from the west, without little to no shame.

I love how asmon never played BG3 but steals the soundtrack for his videos. goblin/10

[@savagedonut]

Arthas is Darth Vader. This villain is a super cheap Arthas and in the end a cheap korean Vader.

The only thing bad about this game is the people

[@RKGrizz]

Too many FF and Warcraft vibes.

[@VerySaneDr]

I have 1490 arti as my main that hasn't seen Brel because raids do not grab my attention but I will return to play the campaign for sure. This trailer was epic.

7:05 babies first words

[@stylishskater92]

If only the game would be good.

[@TSHawkz]

Wonder how much it'll cost to get to the max level.

[@JamCie]

I love how this was basically Anduin vs. Arthas in Shadowlands and BFA Trailer Scenes but in anime style xD

[@Kahez]

yeah but anduin is not a bitch on this version

[@treyouth2834]

This has me wanting to like the game again, if they put things like this in game like Square Enix cutscenes it would be amazing. Things need to feel rewarding playing, rewards are so low rng and there's no cool class cosmetics from highest raid content. Potential is all there, but everyone doesn't have time to play full time to get something decent. I get that this raises the incentive for players to swipe, but they need balance or its not fun. Can't only be fun after swiping or after 5k+ hours

[@silvertaken]

I apreciate when the villain and/or the hero don't spend the whole fight talking, overexplaining their motives and excuses about why they fight. They know each other, they know what they have to do, so everything else that has to be done is fight.

[@justwill8239]

I saw some folks saying that this is a Shadowlands cinematics copy, but other than rock throwing, and one guy looking a lot like lich king, it's nowhere close to same. Also, in terms of the characters and story goes, this cinematic is much better as the fight is actually on equal term, not a one sided bullying that results in making one of the most bad-ass character/boss look like a loser. This cinematic makes the good guy look badass. It also makes the bad guy look badass. AND it also shows a bit of reveal (how the bad guy under the helm also has silver hair just like the good guy, making players be curious on who he really is (and how he is related to the good guy). This is cinematics done right. Sure, the character model isn't perfect, and the animation is a bit off (early combat), but holy shit, Blizzard can really learn from this.

[@nevswain478]

one thing i didnt like about lost ark raids/bosses etc, is you spend more time moving around and dodging mechaincs than ACTUALLY attacking.. becomes boring..

[@jamescallaghan3484]

why arn't they making anime like these game trailers they are just so good, action and everything

[@cybertubeman745]

What I saw: -Devs investing into cinematics when the game is struggling -Greyscale VFX on a greyscale environment -A lot of VFX clutter -both pizza and annoying random bullet hell at the same time

[@ReddieEX]

looks like the jailer of shadowlands like he could've been
