Your videos have been extremely helpful but I have to say - sometimes I get discouraged and question if I really want to continue playing this game. There is so much too it and it stresses me out thinking of the amount of time I would have to invest to truly play it. Is that a common fear that you hear from new players? There just seems to be so much to do/keep track of and I am not used to playing a game like this.
One of the things I have enjoyed in this game is how streamlined the side quests are. I have this weird impulse to click on all those side quests and complete them. They all seem to flow well with the main quest lines. Love it.
I like that everything for the most part moves forward. Yes some are retrieval quests and back and forth dialogue but they move you forward on the map roughly around where the main quest is taking you
The moment I realized that Mokoko Seeds can get placed in areas outside the map in the black void and that paths were often straight up false terrain/walls I stopped bothering to find them myself and just went to guides. I don't mind looking for collectibles when there is a way to legitimately deduce the location through exploration, but when it becomes a case of 'walking against every wall and rock JUST in case'? Nah.
Yea I'm casual but do like "off to the side" stuff like getting the adventurer's tome up to the 70+, but not dropping my casual playtime in to stuff like that either. Online map time.
Completely with you guys, I love collecting these stuffs ingame, exploring, doing everything blind, but I gave up after the first few maps. This game design I hate, when they actively go against the very nature of their game that they created. These hidden "no way to tell" walls forces you to go agains every single wall. Who does that, and also guys creating the guide for us, were they going agains every single wall ingame, and looking behind every shadow?
One additional thing for the UI bit... "Player outline" can be very useful to enable. It _somewhat_ ruins the aesthetics by putting an outline around you, but you'd see yourself much clearer when you are in the thick of a huge battle where a lot of stuff is going on.
It's still incredibly overwhelming and I've barely scratched the surface so far! This is immensely helpful but just goes to show how flipping complicated this game is!
I can’t even believe I’m playing lost ark. I still remember when they released the first trailer for Korea like 7 years ago and it crushed me knowing I would have to wait if it ever came. Now it’s here and it’s everything we dreamed ….. and the servers work !!!
Watching these videos make clear for me 1 thing. This is a second job and i want to enjoy a game, when are they going to learn games are for fun and not a chore. Thanks for your explanation. It was very informative and well writed.
It's an MMO. Their core design is that of a job in terms of time investment and daily dedication if you want to do the end game content. The trick is making the grind a rewarding and enjoyable experience (or as much as grinding can be at least). It sounds like your interests in games just isn't compatible with the genre. Which is fine. The majority of gamers don't enjoy Dark Souls despite what online opinion may lead you to believe. It caters to a certain type of player and you just arent it.
@@nickbohannon2184 I agree they need to make a competionist/farmer/time sink mode that they have for people that want to enjoy those things along with a mode for those that just want to just have fun with some quest/kill mobs/raids problem solved.
i would surely replay this vid...cause im a new player and i didnt picked up everything yet...i appreciate the effort you put into this video..thank you!
Great guide. I've been searching through videos for useful Lost Ark guides, and yours is chock full of useful info, and it helps that you're a clear and articulate speaker. The info is organized but it doesn't sound like you're reading from a script. Well done and subscribed.
Great vid, probably one of the best tips and tricks vids I've seen in awhile. Too many T&T vids cover basic things that anyone with a bit of attention can pick up by browsing the game. It's those things that are hidden a few steps behind that initial veil that are frustrating to find information on, but very few advanced vids cover them since they're...well not quite advanced. This vid covers allot of that stuff. Keep up the good work man!
A lot of tips and tricks vids for a lot of games are sadly clickbait most of the time from creators who have barely ever touched the game sadly. Not our style here. Glad you found it useful!
its very VERY VERY rare i like youtubers content beyond one video. i enjoy all ur content. ur not annoying or preachy. just to the point and informative. u keep ur bias out of it and that speaks to me
That's been Codiak's and My plan since day 1. Make the content we as two dudes that just love video games want to watch. Simple plan. Simple execution. Glad you are enjoying it. Comments like this keep us going full steam ahead :)
I really appreciated how accessible this was. I told myself I was just going to blindly dabble with the game, but I lied to myself. I can’t do it. I’m too much of a completionist nerd. This was helpful to a newcomer, especially because I’m always afraid to mess things up for myself later. This alleviated a ton of anxiety.
As a Casual gamer, i can definitely tell you that some of these things are straight QoL enhancements and I thank you for uploading this video. I do like to do end game Raids and Such, but it's nowhere near as often as other gamers and I'll tend to lose track, so some of these things makes the transition back into end-game a little less rough.
Hey man, not sure you'll ever see this. I'd never come across any of your videos before, but I'm glad I found this one. I watched it a few days after I started playing, and had already made a couple mistakes, but nothing I can't remedy, and no more surprises, thanks to you. I appreciate you and this video, and the time it took to make. As concise as possible, and it filled in all the blanks I came looking to learn about. Kudos man, thanks, you've got a new sub in me!
this is a really good guide thank you! the more i learn about this game the more impressed i am. like it actually seems like the devs want to make some things right with this game. for example having the option to skip doing dungeons for a few days as a casual player without losing out on loot. that's such a good mechanic.
Just started playing this game, and I doubt a channel of this size reads outdated comments- but man, you have THE BEST presentation skills of anyone I've ever seen on RU-vid. If you weren't a broadcast journalism major you have quite the gift for "public" speaking.
I can get that but sounds like having different characters if very useful and maybe by the time you get to high end game the new classes might be out or you could take a break by this point until they are? Just a friendly suggestion xx
Good reason to take it slow, explore lateral, and maybe stockpile resources with a few alts. Leave two or 3 spots open for the new classes of course and save some gold for knowledge xfer. Then turn main into alt.
@@pokermitten9795 doesn’t seem worth it to use gold for knowledge transfer. You still have to go through the story regardless. The story is already pretty easy.
I like playing games when I can drag my knuckles and hit things with a really big sword. Just roll my face across the keyboard and HULK SMASH. Yes I'm a bezerker
I’ve played tons of different mmorpgs, BDO, Albion Online, New World, GW2, ESO etc. and I could never get into any of them. I played max 1 week and realized that I truly didn’t enjoy playing them even though the genre seemed to fit every little inch of my wish list, but I just couldn’t get into it. Then this game came along. I was a little scared to try it at first because of the controls, but I gave it a shot and boy am I glad I did. This is single-handedly the most fun I have had on a game by myself in a REALLY long time. I was looking for a game exactly like this. I’m so happy I finally found my game.
I couldnt get into any of the MMOs you've mentioned either, because they suck. I've played wow all the way up until 3 years ago, and it's the only game and now lost ark as well as an old Korean MMOs I used to play that lost ark frankly seems to be heavily inspired by....it's like a mix of the two. Just look up infinite dungeons in dekaron and compare them with chaos dungeons. Gear progression in lost ark is very similar to wow.
This is pretty much the first video i have watched on lost ark. Kept hearing about it but didnt look into it. This looks like an insanely awesome game from someone who wasnt on any hype trains.
@@lubosaust7454 I agree. The camera angle is similar in some moments but the combat I feel is more technical and has more purpose. I have to battle with intention. In Diablo. It's kinda just button mashing
Getting this game as it is today is like getting wow like 5 years into the game. It’s so polished and so much has been done since it came out years ago over seas. What a joy.
only found this video recently I tip my hat to all involved, this has taught me so much in a concise and easy to understand way, great job all, seriously appreciate it
Super helpful video. As a side note, Roster is not account wide. Not region wide even. Roster is only server wide. A lot of people lost their founder stuff not realizing that stuff is ONLY bound to the server you claim it on (pets, mounts, currencies, etc.)
Another tip: Emoting, for those who dont know; Hold alt and then hold left click and drag mouse You can change what emotes to put in your emote wheel by pressing y - Hope this helps
New to game and watching your video was Great. Boy! that was a lot on one plate, well covered, good job, and thank you for your time putting it all together for us.
Wow, Great video, I knew most of these things from past experience but my jaw dropped when you mentioned you could port straight to your ship, so much time wasted going to port then running to dock lol thank you.
the first tip is so important, for me atleast, i wanted to be a full on wardancer kicking boxing style main because i'm a one trick windwalker monk main in WoW but after trying out other classes while getting my wardancer to 50 and ilv420 i realized i really only had the most fun playing the glass on a PvP basis so then i wsnted a new main which also has more skillcap compare to wardancer and my answer was surge deathblade. now im a proud ilv580 surge main soon to be 600 if i don't loose all my 50/50s 😭
i did this test so nobody else has too. i used 19 green Paladin Blessed Aura books on my Striker then went on the pally and ofc not able to use the skill, so then i went to the market and bought 1 green book of the skill used it and now im able to use the skill on my pally and am up to the blue books. :) so i would say dont worry about just using books
I remember you made some hunter videos back in the Legion days of wow. I don't remember anything really except you were a the only goblin hunter I had ever seen. Once I saw your face and then your name it all fell into place. Anyway, super excited you are making content for LA and love this video!!!!
I watched the whole thing I will only retain about 10% of this haha I look forward to coming back and rewatching a few times this video is packed with useful info. I wish u explained the dismantling a bit more as Im a complete noob and I still dont understand what items need to be dimantled vs which ones have buffs you want to transfer off.
I avoided these type of videos because I didn’t want ‘spoilers’. But now that I’ve actually played the game, I realise it’s just another ‘Tera’ type, no deep plot in sight. 😂 So, let’s get to it! I’ll be rewatching this video a few times. 😋
im 14h into the game and alot of stuff u covered i did not know about....thanks for this video it helped alot...it throws so much at you...im lvl 32 and its still throwing new machanics my way...my brain is exploading...
I myself I'm lost between 3 classes. Martial Artist, Berserker, and Paladin. Paladin skills for me, are the coolest I have seen in the game, so far. But Madness Berserker seem so nice, although I don't have Madness iet, so can't know. I played Paladin a bit in beta, now I'm trying Berserker. But even if I lose some time, I plan to try all 3, and decide on one.
So I have a question: Did Lost Ark at some point have the players using the 'base' class before picking a specialization later? It really feels strange to suddenly get that specialization right out the gate. Feels like it was a change made post-launch due to smoothing out mechanics or streamlining things.
Yes it did. Each class started in a different region iirc. I remember playing my Artillerist on the RU server and going through a Steampunk-wasteland zone. Annika I believe.
@@Ikaraii Ah okay. So they just ended up condensing everything? That explains why it felt incredibly strange going from class selection into the tutorial, lol. I couldn't quite pin it down but I had this strange feeling of disconnection and that things went oddly quick despite what the creation process had led me to believe, lol.
This is one of the best tips and tricks videos I've ever seen, for any game. I've watched a few for lost ark already and I still learned at least a few things from this video. Also, the production and information delivery was perfect, audio was crystal clear and Codiak went through the script without any stumbling or "ummm's". (there had to have been a script, it was too perfect) I'm gonna check out your other stuff just because the experience from this video was ideal for me, and honestly I could just listen to any information presented this well.
One of the best detailed video! But honestly when I reached lvl 50 I realised I dont have time/mood for grinding so many things, havent even logged in in the past 3 weeks lol. If this game would have released 5-10 years ago, I would grind the hell out of it, now im too 'old' it seems :D
Been waiting for an mmo to get stuck into, feel like im way to behind for WoW, feels so good being able to start an MMO at launch and just watch it grow
Great video man watched it all the way through. When I looked at your subscriber count I was mind blown, thought it would be in the millions. Keep it up 👍
Honestly the best thing ive learned so far is that I shouldnt waste time on facetting stones at all, just spam click that shit cause its really just rng and im almost certain i am either extremely unlucky or the % are bullshit, i usually get more success just spamming them and it usually goes like 1 spam is always gonna turn out bad and 2 usually turn out decent to good
I like how the first thing he lists is to play what feels good. Too many people chase trends and metas and FOTM classes ever since paladin became the god class all the way back in Burning Crusade WoW. Crazy how nothing changes, glad that the perspective is finally shifting.
Whew... that was a lot of info... Kudo's to me? Kudo's to you Codiak! Much appreciated! Cant wait to get going and just waddling through everything in 3 hours now! 😆
I only played Path or Exile before this but never really quite enjoyed it to the fullest only getting 14 hours in the game before getting tired of it. Maybe it’s because my interests have changed or something but I’m about the same amount of time into Lost Ark and I just wanna keep playing it.
Played gunner and I am level 30. I picked this character because it was the hardest to play character and I love it. Personally it's about the story for me. Game is great.
I would like to point out the female gunner. It is loaded with dodges, flips, slides, and jumps. There is the dodge on space, than 2 skill dodges, and an attack that jumps you backward (all before lvl 20) The female gunner is high mobility, high dmg, high area, and moderate tank, can even spec into some debuffing targets for the team.
@@leonstanable it’s actually rated as one of the best classes in the game. High damage and high mobility for both PvE and PvP. So I don’t know what you’re talking about.
You just got me so hyped for the PvP islands oh my god. I shall sow more destruction than any other Gunslinger out there. 😈 Watch out for Gunslinger Jinx!
Did not know about the counter , honestly I never changed armor from the char profile... about a day after 50 I realized I had 2 earring and 2 ring slots. The entire playthrough I had 1 up to date ring and earring and the other was the first one I got at the start 🙁. Never noticed because I felt like a God while leveling.
This is such a high quality video. Good shit man. Picked this game up yesterday after seeing the Twitch.tv hype and I needed a vid like this to explain all the overwhelming things thrown at me.
