Season 3, Tier 4 is bout to come : The future of Lost Ark 

Which is why AGS needs to implement Season 3 in stages and not all together. I’m not sure how this will play out.

Friend is really enjoying the new Destiny stuff atm.

idk its the same mic and I did all the same process. Installed Sonar to see if that helps with consistency with my recording with all the EQ gates and such being handled as I record as opposed to post.

It was originally going to be the director grabbing but I didn't find a good angle for it to fit for the hand.

Yeah, ultimately one of my main concerns is that this isn't enough for newer players. When I talked about a reset in the past, the main point was always that it was a place for everyone to jump in and enjoy everything together while being a knowledge reset. But since you have to still go through T3 and learn how to use every power system essentially twice, it's a little sus. And I don't know if they plan to really address the 1600-1620 push much, which I hope gets big nerfs come t4 at the latest for the new players.

Yep they thought they cooked with T4 but new/returning people are still forced to do Vold + Thae 💀

I totally forget roster 400 is gonna exist. But yeah, I wish there were changes to how elixir/transcendence actually worked. Cards we can still hope they add more to vendors at least.

I'm hoping they don't have to interact with it much, because I do think its bad for them to try to learn how engravings work twice over etc.

Hey, thanks for responding on the reupload. Hope it sounded better. It's really good to always remember that's how the games are designed and monetized, and it does concern me too. I think with systems like Ark Passive, the game will be objectively better since this greatly helps alting and hopefully overall creativity and flexibility. But like you, yeah, you always wonder how long until I'm honing for .83 item level again at like 3% or less hit.

@@Jukwol One thing I'm coping for a lot of the stuff in the ark passive is that they don't just add clearly fillers stuff like endurance, broken bone, propulsion, etc., just to reduce the probability of good stuff to make you spend gold. The accessory reroll is looking like it. There will always be a meta and ppl will gravitate towards it. I think this results from the game being fundamentally dmg driven, in terms of player input. Unlike wow where you have healer, certain classes have spell steal, certain have interrupt, some are good at single burst healing etc. Viability of that playstyle inspires creativity, not just adding a bunch of stuff on an accessory. As long as the game is still MVP screen driven, it will be homogenous in terms of builds.

That's good to know about the 10 10 but also lol oh man, what a dream that one will be to get.

Yeah, a gold nerf isn't enough to save those systems. They're just miserable to interact with. Well, elixirs more so than trans. Its kind of wack thinking that we'll have to go back and run tower and deal with that system if we want to minmax elixirs post nerf.

Yeah we're cooked om

The switch to books being important is pretty nuts. Which I think you will probably need a decent investment into the system before it outperforms our current builds, unless they just make the system that much more powerful at a base level. I will be glad to not look at my loot and see everything good on a drop and it roll domination tho. But I do like how this can affect your entire roster with the same investments on engravings. Though it further promotes playing a lot of the same and similar.

😂

Yeah, that's why I was huge fan of the idea of having bots. So players could learn their role and identity of the class. Roster gems would had went pretty hard, but they did at least turn engravings into something roster wide. But I do agree about unas, and my hope is that by the time they release Season 3 is that we will get more news and information about changes to the overall grind still that maybe just weren't loaon ready to talk about. But unas are still very important for silver for a lot of people. So I think at best we would get a t4 daily mission that is one. Kind of like how they are doing the new chaos as an option. It's a little hope/cope there, but yeah. I understand your point. It could had been a lot more, but to me it's a step in the right direction at the very least.

I know you're probably arguing from good faith here, but it seems like you just want to doom. They're completely reworking the engraving system, and accessories and stones are changing along with it to be better, bracelets are changing, quality is getting a pity system, gems are changing, tripods are changing, and cards are being improved so theres not a huge gap between los18 and 30. Along with a couple nerfs to existing systems and a reduction of chaos dungeons to 1, other than that what isn't improving? Just because it wasnt a jump straight to perfect doesn't mean progress isnt good. Above all else as well they're showing a willingness to make big changes and revamp old systems. We're allowed to be positive about positive changes in the right direction, no need to project some sort of ulterior motive born of desperation because you're still dooming. Also kind of disingenuous to say new players aren't smart enough to recognize that the buff they're applying for solo raids doesn't carry over to a real raid scenario. Do you think supports will also be confused when they aren't doing massive damage after applying their brand? Seemed pretty self explanatory that it was specific to solo raids.

Says the g2g andy. I know you g2g because i said so

@@ghostytoasty5510 Although some of his statements are doomer-like. I gotta say he is fudamentally right. At its core not much changed. Sure there is another stepping stone for card sets (a really old system), but they didn't change the way new players are able to obtain those, oh and they are also adding another card set for elemental damage (yay!); Quality taps got a pity system, that's good, but that's a really old system that we shouldn't have to interact with anymore and if we do it should be way easier to get a 90 quality- 100 quality weapon; gems, well you know the deal, back to farming more gems for T4; New engraving system that eventually will overpower the one we have right now, back to buying more books (relic ones as well, if you want to be competent); Elixirs and transcendence, we don't know how exactly are they gonna make it easier, so it's hard to judge right now. What I can say is that the system needs to be reworked in such a way it's less rng reliant (at least for elixirs); accessories, I took a glimpse at some of the screenshots they showed and oh boy, new accessories look like bracelets 2.0 with the amount of options those have; bracelets, more of the same. I think the only thing that I'd say actually changed at its core it's the solo content but even so it's only for old raids. Tbf, I feel like saying it's a step in the right direction is a little too soon. Some are even saying this will save Lost Ark. At the end of the day think about this: what's gonna happen when we reach T4? Yep, exactly. Back to farming a lot of gold in order to be able to get all the seemingly new vertical progressions systems they are throwing at us only to be able to play 1 or 2 decent characters. In sum, more of the same.

@@Xplicit36 you said what i wanted to say but more coherently. The main idea i was trying to convey is that its season2:tier4 as they haven't fundamentally reworked / resolved systems and issues we have now. Now I'm hoping there are some undocumented changes yet to come, but knowing that they even talked about bunch of useless stuff like strongholds it would be copium to believe that stuff like gem rolling, una rework, or anything fundamentally important wouldn't be mentioned. I'll wait and see. At least now i can recommend friends try out solo raids, so that's something. But for me personally i still need to prog thaemine and idk how I'm gonna be accepted since i have no elixir set, and its still going to be the same painful situation with elixirs even with the discount, and so will be the hours of searching for supports. If you ask me they should've reworked raids to be doable without supports in some capacity ( or extended solo raids at least to thaemine), instead they did a bandaid and you can now do chaos dungeon while you wait. Except that i don't have 5 hours worth of chaos dungeons as that's how long sometimes takes to find prog sups, even when spamming lfg discords.

Yeah, I rather they learned more into monetizing for more fun things so people can feel like they're supporting the game because they like the game. Not the feeling that they're trying to milk you.

Yeah. I think this are all great changes. I think a lot of the pushback mostly comes from the feeling that the time and money invested into the character was wasted. Since we are at the point of like, end of the road, all your power is basically done besides the latest system. So I think people really wanted to feel done with their character. But now not only is it not over, but they feel like they wasted their time/money. It's a weird concept to think about since we're playing a game and it's all kind of wasted. But often when I or others talk about resets, people are actually upset that such a thing exist and that's why they like(d) LOA.
