LOST ARK - Raid Basics! Korean raid culture/rules to share

My guild does 1/2/3/4 = N/E/S/W, but I like this x3 thing also. I think it's common from other MMOs in NA where 1 starts North and then you go clockwise for positioning on cardinals. It's also common to rotate CW if you need to go to intercardinals which is basically the same as the +1. I personally haven't had issues with the Cardinal N/E/S/W based on group numbers yet.

Like imagine alot of NA/EU players complain about vertus which is literally a lvl 1 boss and has little to no mechanics and people still complain. you guys just want everything to be handed to you and make everything easy. what's next make legion raids as easy as chaos gates? you guys are affecting the people that actually want a challenge in the game.

Great video. I'll make sure to share this with my fellow discord members. What's annoying with some of our player base(not everyone) is I've had ppl that down right refuse to contribute any kind of bomb or flare when you ask at the start of the raid. Literally "Nah, I ain't staggering shit" Things like that make the raids more frustrating than they need to be. Hopefully more guides like this are welcomed and adobted.

[@Tutorialstand]

Honestly everything here sounds completely fine. I think NA/EU should adopt most of these. Played a few other mmos and usually 1, 2, 3, 4 goes N/NE, E/SE, S/SW, W/NW respectfully, same thing would apply to 8 player content.

[@DazaTheKing]

Excellent video, i love how efficient the KR community has become!

[@grimm4927]

Most mmo's I've played just do 1-2-3-4 = N/E/S/W and rotate CW once if you need to go to an intercard. So N goes NE, E goes SE, etc. I really like the x3 and x3+1 on paper, but knowing people on NA, this will most likely not become the norm.

This actually does help because there are four item loadouts so you can just generally change your loadout on the fly and get this ready

[@Velakor9150]

na problem with western release is people genuinely don't want to put the effort in to listen or to learn. I did the first t2 abyss dungeon, explained it over to everyone as best as i could. 2/3 of the party members understood. I checked up on the other guy as nice as i could, asked if he had any questions. he refused to accept that he was messing up and all i got was "you're explaining it like shit, i could read a guide and learn it." I told okay then go read a guide that's fine. he still didn't understand and continued to fail the mechanics over and over, leaving me and the other two to carry him. eventually we killed the boss after about 10 wipes, we all said GG and well done ect ect for putting in the effort to keep attempting it and learn the boss fight till we succeeded. but of course the one guy decides to blame it all on us, saying we are shit and should have explained it better, it's not his fault he didnt understand (we didn't say anything about it). we told him we tried to help him as much as he could, he never asked questions and he was free to watch a guide/video if he needed to and not to be rude about it. 5min later he created a character on my server, whispers me telling me im so shit ect ect, lots of shit talk. western people are too used to mmos like wow, where you get basic mechanics where you just don't stand in a circle, or can 100-0 the boss, and even if you get hit it's no issue. people are toxic and lazy and not willing to put any effort into learning the very BASIC mechanics like stagger (got nerfed hard already lul).

[@ShayGamerD3]

Pretty sure most ppl approach video games as entertainment, therefore, they expect video games do not require anything to learn, and they should provide mindless entertainment with no effort. At least this is what casual players think. I find very often that such ppl want to play as they wish, do whatever they like, and for them making efficient builds, following rules and mechs is totally alien concept, and negates the entertainment value. Players who are interested in learning the mechs and rules are the minority, and usually form the elite player community in each game. E.g., Blizzard games acknowledge this and are made for casual players: easy to learn, difficult to master. Lost Ark is definitely made with a totally different mindset, perhaps more natural in Korea, and is difficult to learn, even more difficult to master.

[@kriegnes]

i get what you mean, but tbf most people just wanna play a game. personally i dont want to watch or read a guide everytime, i prefer to learn things by doing. for example in monster hunter i never read a guide, i just fought until i got it and actually had fun while losing. also since the early game is that easy people dont need to learn any mechanics, so while they play the game they get used to the way they play and just keep going. many dont even know what stagger is.

[@orrthehunter]

These information are very useful so thanks as I have been curious what kind of battle items will be helpful when raiding. As for state of NA/EU players not learning mechanics. I believe it is the result of a serious case of FOMO. Alot of players are rushing to T3 as fast as possible and I encounter many of them that had the mind set that anything in T1 and T2 are irrelevant and they don't learn anything important endgame wise until T3. This mindset is what I believe causing the lack of learning for mechanics for certain part of the player base before reaching T3 because someone or themselves is established a mindset that they should be able to cheese through T1 and T2 with any relevant learning is when they start T3. Not to mention a lot of players are focusing on reaching T3 as soon as possible to maximize profit as well to store up as much gold as possible to buy all BiS gear once a certain contents are released.

[@Sammysapphira]

Unfortunately NA will almost never follow things like these..... It's true for so many games. In FFXIV you will ask for clock positions and people will barely even know what mechanic you're asking about when there's only 1 or 2 clock mechanics in the fight. Or they'll try to act like clock positions don't make sense or are really complicated... and then proceed to just yolo and miss everything. I tried going into the light sword boss (forget the name) a few weeks ago and saying "Party number is order of swords" and everyone just said "stop complicating it just grab when debuff is free" like.... what? Then they just bombed like 6 pulls in a row grabbing two swords right away or not even grabbing a sword.

[@letsboogie4538]

It all makes sense, in korea, for their gaming culture. It's known that even in other games they adopted solutions westerners would never ever pick, due to a cultural thing. Some examples: -LoL rankeds, people opens mid in kr if the game is lost because it's pointless to "waste" time, meanwhile on eu/na players just get toxic, nervous, start trolling and what not -Blade and soul battlegrounds, if in kr they find out anyone in their team is abusing glitches or using hacks, they decide to afk and lose the game on purpose, in order to ensure fairness. In eu/na if anyone hacks/exploits in bg, their team is pretty happy to get an easier win. I'm a fresh casual on LA, but all I can say is that as long as those items will have a gold cost, pugged people wont use them, even if that means having faster or safer clears. Altho that could become a fashion between "professional" grinders, people who runs stuffs with their clan and tends to be competitive. In the case a raid/dungeon would give a free box at entrance with enough consumables to introduce a "free" addition in the combat system next to classical skills usage, with aswell guides related to it and certain mechs relying on such items only, then even the last random player could consider using those items, if not for other reasons, because LA skills usage is "limited", compared to other mmorpgs.

Either you craft those battle items or buy it from cash shop. If only it was easier to get battle items, people will surely use them for raid.

[@mattias6182]

x3 sounds nice but does require awareness being spread and would probably take months for it to catch on among veterans. Personally when I join "know mechs" groups I just type "Formation" in party before boss room, ping the spots and stand in one of them. One person understands, takes a spot and then the rest of the party catches on. Works really well, especially effective on the underwater abyssal with the arrow formation safe spot. Minimal chat required and provides visual info making it pretty foolproof even for people who somehow manages to forget their assignment when given traditionally through chat.

[@NATK]

Exactly, when i play we dont type a single chat

[@bhandos9062]

@@NATK i just finished my underwater abyssal earlier and my raid was full of randoms and we basically made a form of communication on how to do things. like we were having a hard time with the yellow orbs cuz we were unorganized so we made a circle formation before where each will go in a different direction and taking care of the yellow orbs in that direction we also made an agreement that once the 90 seconds is close people will spam ping so alert everyone to be ready. ^ those guys are all random and no one knew each other and we finished the last boss raid in 4 tries we just had to coordinate ourselves. i dont see how it is so hard for other players to do this like in my stage 1 water abyss raid.

My only issue with the x3 and x3+1 positions... Is that for some reason, I've seen people on NA servers (not only on Lost Ark, but in other games) where they can't even read an analog clock... Although most of the times, I just quit the party, leave or do anything in order to not have contact with those people. It might be considered toxic, but I'm not dealing people who can't understand basic things, nor I'm on a mood for explaining to them how a damn clock works.

Amazing video, thanks for the input. But i highly doubt western region will develop these habbits. 3+1 positions is definitely too complicated of a system to establish for the general player base.

Great video, personally i do most of the content with friends so flares/whirlwind grenade are a must for guardian raids/abysall dungeons. Numbers are used for positions too, so not much different. I'll look into the other stuff but for now the content (T1 - low T3) hasnt required much else besides flare pots and ww grenades. Also whats the emote at 1:50? just the dance emote?

[@uhung-c9o]

This is a dance that can be obtained from the recently appeared pvp continent.

[@uhung-c9o]

In korea

[@Sidesody]

thanks lenin

[@Kurtooo]

lol i hope the consumables thing catches on. last night I had a guy give up on the last boss of alarics sanctuary because he ran out of hp potions. we still clleared it with him afk spamming quit every chance he got

[@SlightlyGrimGaming]

So I have read a couple of guides now saying that a Shock Training Scrapper / Infighter does not need to use stagger items (whirlwind nades) because they're such a high Stagger class. My one ability hits 8 times and the stagger ratio is HIGH. which i follow up with 2 abilities that are mid-high stagger. We've been arguing about it for days now. I really, personally, don't see a need for it. throwing that extra nade TO ME doesnt seem to make much a difference at all when im already high stagger. My guild been pissed at me for a few days now hahaha Thoughts?

[@NATK]

Very dependent for person, its true scrapper gives enough stagger but you can throw one for even more stagger vs i can save bombs so it depends how people take that

[@henli-rw5dw]

Chain destruction fist is only average for staggering, it's not every hit doing high stagger but 8 hits combined doing high stagger. So sounds like your friend need a bomb. The way to not need a bomb is use crushing blow, which gives 20% buff to stagger damage. I pug with this cuz nobody use bombs.

[@henli-rw5dw]

Critical blow I mean. One more thing, tripods change stagger damage. Roundhouse sweep say low stagger but if you do the standard double fist tripod it's actually mid-high, and it's fast.

[@christerjakobsen8107]

I'm maining taijutsu scrapper, and I rarely need whirlwind 'nades, rather shore up my class' deficiencies with other stuff.

[@lucasrfma]

Love your videos. Just a tip, the 'ph' is pronounced like an 'f', so 'pheromone' is 'feromone'. Your english is great, probably better than mine, which ironically makes the occasional mispronunciation harder to understand

[@NATK]

Yeah this youtube recording thing is tough im def getting the hang of it little by little, thanks for not being too annoyed

[@goldenducky12]

The meta in NA seems to be no-one flares and cant do basic 3x multiplication

[@haillenarte]

thank you so much. 😊

[@62videoman]

Unrelated question but at 5:05, you countered the turtle extremely fast. Would it be possible to share your stats with us such as swiftness? Thanks

[@NATK]

maybe like 500-800 is enough

[@Crusader050]

Maybe its education standards changing but idk if the younger folks are still learning how to read analogue clocks. I think it's a brilliant idea though.

[@idotdotdot]

I agree with establishing a culture but I also would like to hear about your response to this. How do you compare a region that is 5X if not 10X the size of Korea and want to influence this type of gameplay? How realistic is it given the language barrier, experience of people with mmo's in general, and the sheer number of players that are casual. Korea is a small region if not just Korea and its much easier to do said things there rather the west.

[@NATK]

thats a tough question, i don't know lol, but i assumed it's good to share and start somewhere

[@dabaker6676]

Very nice video!

[@paliatschiranukai1989]

I think i like this to our guild we are all pretty new to this game and overwhelmed I personol just kept every battle item how i got them since we didn't know what we need.

[@josephbrown9336]

I tried to explain to a pug using cardinal direction the same concept, and I got called “NA Brain” for not doing x3(+1) because of this video lol

[@vapecat1982]

Thanks man very usefull

[@moriyasanae8130]

looks very organized

[@UndoubtablySo]

nice dude great info

[@whatisthat7874]

Idk about trying to explaining to people about this idea, when they still wiped for the 5th times after I explained how to do the dungeons..................

[@OdinMagnus]

What's the "common core" version of x3? Is it purple hamsters? 🐹 lol

[@syllo137]

Quick question, what do you have so many maps in your storage for?

[@NATK]

I was lazy to do them lol

[@_zsebtelep8502]

I feel if you go alone (I mean randoms and not friends you know) ppl tends to be greedy and assume nobody will use them, or worse they think we will lose and will not use them because they think it's a waste of resources. :(

[@klok594]

As an Australian player, I consistently get at least 250 ping. my question is does this bar me from high level play? or will the lag cause me to become a huge liability?

[@Zany34]

Im in the same boat my main is gunslinger i would say avoid gunslinger and deadeye because the delayed weapon swaps might put you off. Been fine though pve wise

[@NATK]

I dont think so because gimmicks give you lots of time as long as ur organized/calm

[@alwar8563]

You'll need to dodge attacks a bit earlier ofc, but it's fine for PvE. People have cleared the hardest content with 200+ ping

[@winston8195]

Informative video, 👍

[@SvenNightingale]

I mean I feel like we use x3+1 in NA as well we just dont call it with number we just use words and call it clock spots and rotate clockwise when required. Also I'm fine with party finders having requirements for battle item but if its matchmaking I think ppl need to chill just let people have fun and enjoy the game. Yes they could be more efficient but if they're doing the mechanics properly and clearing whats the problem. If they're not clearing its def not cuz of the lack of battle item and they should be looking more into what mistakes they're making and fixing it instead of using battle items to cover up bad plays.

[@xAlexZifko]

How reasonable is it to keep stocked up on battle items between event boxes and stronghold crafting just doing the stronghold farm? I'd hope if expected to go through a few dozen items a week it's not too grindy to collect them

[@khmarabroona]

hey do you know if it is worth to farm your stronghold to start making the battle item chests?

[@NATK]

you can do it anytime, I usually buy them at maris so I don't have much experience in them

[@UpperMoon95]

Give me more content!!! Its so good

[@dtroiix]

This makes me feel bad. It looks so organized, without even talking to each other..

[@scope402]

Yeah this helps alot

[@robin2thek]

This is very smart system
