My Lost Ark Tier 4 Plans and the future of this channel 

He's one step closer to being free boys.

I downsized to 3 chars a while back. Now ive got 3 high quality chars, 2 of which ill park t4 and main will continue to grow. As for any other gold earning needed on the other alts, ill probably do solo every now and then.

I was in the same boat as you but I realized how unhealthy and unsustainable it was back in Dec 2022. I was already 230+ roster at that point and im only 2 selection packs away from LoS 30. I just came back to do solo raids at my own pace. Which means I will be 1-2 current content raids behind all the time, and thats fine by me. I can't play 16 hours a day anymore. I would much rather play 2-4 hours and live my life. I only like Lost Ark for the raids and now that we can solo them I dont need to interact with anyone lol.

Well, I'm glad you're taking a step back. And frankly, I'm surprised you lasted that long considering how much you were playing. Oddly enough, I never got to that level of play, and I managed to keep myself from FMOing much at all. The thing that always makes me step away from the game is when I don't have people to play...or rather the people I played with before stopped playing. Having people to run with always helps keep it from feeling mundane. ...but solo mode though.

Good luck my man. I'm in a similar spot.

yeah i quit playing seriously last year after getting Los 30 and realizing this wont be sustainable. Nowadays i just chill with 4-5 raids a week on 3 toons and wait for solo raid, life is a lot better 😊

i reduced my roster from 6 to 2 with Kayangel release because its all just repetition. My 2 Chars made it to 1630 and 1610. Now I just gave up, sold my gold and maybe I will just do some Solo once a week and good bye. It was a great time, but the repetition, the RNG grind etc. is simply exhausting. T4 wont be better. And now when I think of what I could do instead of doing all the repetitive stuff I just had to decide and quit playing this game.

How are you load times so fast? I have a 4090 PC and it takes like twice as long at least.

lost ark was my first and last kr game, they know how to be a predators

I am on the other foot still sadly. I was really looking forward to getting to behemoth and chilling for a bit because people were thinking tier 4 was a ways off. But now with tier 4 out its kinda but bit of a bummer that its basically resetting our progress in terms of grinding. I love the game to death though and love to continue to grind with tier 4 but there are just some outstanding grinds from tier 3 that I am not looking forward to repeating namely gems due to the fact class gem balances is so bad right now. I feel stuck with tier 4 coming out and not taking advantage of it with alts to setup myself up well for the future. I even took a break for like 4 months and that set me back loads with the release of brel hm, akkan, and voldis. The season 4 fomo is such a double edge sword

You wouldn't be burrnt out if you just used the chaos bot like everyone else 😜

Love your videos and would certainly tune in when you stream. About the people who whale rmt bus etc is actually so true, I for one am neither of them, I did bus at the start but stopped because bussers are hella toxic and I do buy the battle passes except the kindergarten kid one cuz I didnt like the skin, I mainly buy them for the skin and the stuff you can't get with blue crystals. I spent a lot of money in cosmetics but never gold and I really notice how the game state gets worse day by day with all the unfair advantages that people have, I don't mind whales because I am getting blue crystals from whales so it's at least something. But all the cheaters just take the fun away from the game and makes it quite impossible to progress as a normal player who doesn't cheat. For now I stopped playing maybe until tier 4. My current gold roster is one 1620 one 1610 two 1600s and two 1580s without a single level 10 gem on the entire roster because I simply cannot afford them., I can't get into raids with my lower chars even though they are built well and I just can't enjoy being stuck in a pug for hours without a clear anymore every week. AGS truely ruined the game with their mishandeling of botting and cheating. Overall the game has issues in itself but the cheating issue just worsened it by tenfold, maybe t4 will be fun for a bit, but maybe t4 will be even worse if AGS does nothing. My personal assumption is that at least 60% of players RMT'd in this game and that a lot of streamers who say the game is fine are rmters.

I can’t wait for the solo content, do the gold farm on my own, not being gate kept. If I got jail is my fault.

Many people have been downsizing their rosters recently. I think many have similar feelings and concerns that you have, which is that the game is too time consuming, so doing 18 raids a week and being at the forefront of every new content release on multiple characters is very taxing on your free time and sometimes even mental health with all that proging, multiple reclears, statics, lobby sims, jails, etc. People are just burning out slowly but surely, so with the T4 announcement it's a good time to reflect on how you have been approaching the game and what other things other than LA you would like to try out or pursue.

I share all your thoughts and you totally should take a "real" break from the game, best moment is right now. Wait till T4 release and don't do any demanding activities any longer in the game, it will all be wasted effort in like 3-4 months. The game developed in such a bad way with more and more homework raids and shores, that it should be no longer called game^^ The day T4 got announced i didn't have to think twice about pausing Lost Ark till T4, seeing it as a new game start and having lots of time to enjoy other games, as you mentioned too :)

Imagine how many games you can play. Just don't hop from loa to nexon for your main game. Spread the love, make vids on everything you try

I never fomoed in this game main is 1635 and have 2 alts at 1620 and the the rest are 1600. I only do Echidna on my main, no point wasting my time in jail lobbies. There have been many times where i haven't finished all my weekly raids and I honestly dont care. I feel like ppl treat this game in a very unhealthy way. Many ppl say that this is how the game is designed, but in KR most people dont even have 6 characters. Its 100%a community issue that will eventually eat itself.

Bro you got like 900k Gold... you are fine if you even play just 2-3 characters.

First step before leaving the cult Congratz sir

Dand 6 1620 plus sounds like time to chill... well and try not to freak out over elixers/trans

Your stream is the content we need!!!! 😬😬. Imma pull up!

That's y u dont swipe, u rmt since otherwise ur wasting time and money 😂 rmtd 10mil+ and was only ever banned for a month.

Holly shit !! One 1630 and five 1620 without spending money ?! And that's the game fault ?

You are almost there. Just a bit more then u can truly feel the freedom. FFXIV has done a good job on combat changes. U will see.
