LOSTARK : How Gold River Emergency Stream Saved a Sinking Boat

[@macjoobyung]

This doesn't fix anything yet. But he does make promises with deadlines and plans to communicate and update the users more frequently. Which I think is rare from a director of any game.

[@mrstarker]

I'm left wondering, though, why they won't fix anything in the meanwhile, even if it's a temporary measure. They could easily, in a matter of hours, push out a patch to lessen the daily grind by half, so that people would have the chance to recuperate until daily homework is revamped.

[@Kalimdor199Menegroth]

@@mrstarker That is simple. They need to keep you engaged with the game as much as possible for player retention and show to investors that the game is popular and worth investing even further. Reducing the homework = less time you spend in the game overall.

[@mrstarker]

@@Kalimdor199Menegroth At least in the west they aren't retaining any players, though. User activity has been steadily declining, with not even big updates like Kayangel bringing people back. People are getting burnt out and leaving quietly.

thank you king

[@99draq]

more like slowing down the sinking than saving it

[@philipdeluca2077]

agree. there are large fundamental changes that need to take place. and they haven't revealed anything that confirmed a huge fundamental change.

[@Course6Beaver]

This guy is sus as hell too. He's just more articulate than those three. Better car salesman.

[@lordofwhip]

The only reason those 3 took over was because goldriver had to step down due to health issues. Before he was the one running the show, and it was probably the best time lost ark had

[@Gibbols]

top notch editing

[@Disfavour]

Not calling us your dear subscribers 😢

[@Moondoggymungmung]

[@GOKK999]

delaying the the inevitable downfall... Sadge.... the truth hurts

[@waron1c3666]

hopefully the game gets better

[@helloccmist]

thanks benji~!

[@Kalimdor199Menegroth]

Some of the complaints that the KR community has are really strange. Like for example the summer swimsuit skins covering the belly button... come on... and Souleater holding the scythe in 2 hands rather than in 1... the fuck, they gonna make her have the Zerk/Slayer stance?

[@NimeniAltu91]

yea I don't feel like thats important. I want to know what are they gonna do about daily fatigue and entropy classes and I want progression content to not be that hardcore considering that the vast majority of people are not hardcore players...I started the game with 4 other friends they slowly 1 by one stop playing in vykas g3, clown g3 brelshaza g5 nm and brelshaza g6 hm... now im playing alone.. or with friends that I have met online.

[@Kalimdor199Menegroth]

@@NimeniAltu91 In regards to the daily fatigues, the best course IMO is to move dailies towards weeklies, in accordance with the MMO trend of the past few years. Lost Ark is one of the few MMOs out there that has such a large amount of daily stuff to grind. IMO, CD and GR need to be transformed into challenge type of content that can be done once per week per character (not per roster). Therefore one can allocate a day to do this content (which becomes a middle difficulty type) and the rest to do raids and other things. Una tasks need to follow the FF design. You take 3 tasks, you complete one, you get the option to automatically complete the other 2 with no penalty. Rest bonus should be reworked as well because as it is right now, it punishes you by 50% if you miss out. If you don't plan on moving this content from daily to weekly, then at least make it worth doing it on a daily basis. I started this game with a lot of friends as well, and 1 by 1 they quit too. However, I got to know a lot of other people and I play with them. It is what it is. Many of the friends with whom I played originally had the wrong impression of this game though (I warned them about it since I played it on RU servers before the global release) and their concern was more about cosmetics and mokoko grind, rather than gearing up for raids. As soon as raids hit them and they saw the difficulty, they slowly started to quit the game. It is what it is.

[@DavidSchleigh]

In their defense... I had the same issue with souleaters stance lol. Shit looks so tacky with 2 handed

[@xxnekrozxx]

haha i like the new ending.

[@rob9368]

Boat still looks like it's sinking fast to me. I need to see changes. If they take a year the game may be fully dead by then.

[@Ecksplisit]

BDO was seen as dead for several years. Now look at it. It's having a HUGE resurgence. Look at No Man's Sky. Star Citizen. Poor launches and now NMS is seen as an amazing game with great devs putting out tons of content for free. Star Citizen was (still is for some) a scam. Now you can go into the game and, albeit filled with bugs, experience a bit of the vision that Chris Roberts has. There are star citizen content creators with millions of views on their videos and over a million subs. Millions of views on tiktok. As long as the game becomes good, it's never too late.

[@tuchung6687]

make legion raid reset every 2 weeks

[@nutrino75]

Phew. So glad lost ark is saved now. So glad. Everything is ok now. Back to brel/chao/gurdian/daily/weekly.
