Alariax: Winter Loa-on is going to go so hard.. as we always say.. most important Loa-on ever.

harukoiiwajima: Bruh don't compare Lost ark to BDO.

Bdo has a healthy player base and sustained lmao Lost ark only bleeds players with zero new comers

pvpsum: No meter, no gamin

Most will quit

QuikSnoopy: I really want Lost Ark to succeed. But everytime I play I get so confused, and it lost a lot of it's player base.

OpaSwift: Happy birthday John many loves!

cyborg7162: I think were putting too much blame on AGS and on purpose just to cope and feel better with the idea of SG doing great for the west (like they did for the past years...)

Cold reality might hurt, this PR talk just aim to farm desperate users hope and some additional quarters revenue

anonymousrabbit1784: the ingame meter is dogshit, i don't want to use that trash. if they really going to watch how we play, they should just accept this is how LoA west is

Midoriana85: It was pretty much always obvious since a year back that Amazon wasn't going to continue, they removed the option to buy the crystalline Aura for a year a while back.

So Smilegate taking over was the only option if they didn't want to shut it down.

Kynber: W no meter

ToRecallE: Just wait until The West Discover that all the shitty things that AGS was decide by SG and they couldnt do anything because they arent the developers. and how SG is 10 times more predatory, and worst that AGS in every aspect. let see who they are gonna blame when shit hit the fan.

Alariax: I really hope they make a statement on meter before the transfer.

barsham7881: copium is real, they will try and play catch up and will kill the game even more, with rushed content.

PS get ready to pay blue crystals for pet

Freeulla: Thank you for covering this John.

expecting big things with Smilegate. Good thing our favorite MMORPG wont be shut down.

АртурЯковлев-я5ь: Why is Hugh Jackman playing lost ark?

webbie7503: the game had millions of players at the launch, now its a tiny fraction of that, still more than Marathon rofl but that game was DOA. Amazon really failed hard with this game, i still think the game will be hardcore p2w though even with its original developer since Korean games are pw2.

Karvir: Thanks for covering this. It's much better to hear your thoughts on this than random angry men on the internet.

TheAsmodianleader: good news

leoportu1: Just basic questions, how long or how much ($) its going to cost to get to 1750 from 1700, 8 gems, relic books, without the ark grid cards etc, to much RNG not enough pity. I love the game just not playing to much

jo_ursi: Give me my LATAM Server back!

ghostytoasty999: Yknow i never thought about how ass it must be to be a content creator for a game that gets updated like lost ark where its in another region first. You can't really create anything truly new because barely any updates have something that wasn't in korea first with 100 guides out already, the only exception i can think of is paradise, and i guess frontier system. That means the only videos you can really make, especially news type videos like John does, are essentially reheated nachos. The information's already been covered by others months ago in korea, so its less exciting when it comes here because most people already know the bulk of it anyway. Hope this change lets more Western creators shine when they get to cover the games updates live, and also for our raiders to be competitive in races without all the strats existing already!
