cyborg7162: First, thumbs up !

I won't doom because you asked for it Memo but i really hope this LOAon will be a great one because the western situation is worrying

therealbazor: All in all, I'm wishing the best for this game as I hold it dear to my heart. I really hope it can bounce back and create the spark we all once had playing it for the first time.

rottolov: "To many ark grid cores" xD What a bad excuse. Meanwhile PoE has millions of skill trees and skills you can customize and they are better balanced

TellusLS: tbh the balance and gameplay of certain classes is so fucking bad atm that any new content is kind of whatever for me since its likely to be the same shit anyway

Hope they release an actual balance patch

Quinsialyn: LOA in West is getting less than 15k players per week.

KR playerbase is declining.

Yet, SG refuse themselves to open a Discord server to gather feedback from every single region from the remaining player base (before it crashed again) to get their game better.

Black Desert Online has been worst or even the same as LOA right now and surprisingly the game revived and recovered a sh-ton of players cuz they were actually listening to feedback.

Less player base = Less or poor feedback for classes for balance patch.

So we can assume worst and bad balance patches.

At this very point right now it seems empty to play and getting stuff so i'm just waiting for the worst, sadly.

이루비-r8m: Please don't treat Inven as representative of Korean gamers.

It's a place where Lost Ark fanatics have driven away most normal users through their behavior.

More than half the posts aren't even about games — they're about affairs, sex, politics, dog posts, witch hunts, and random drama.

It's a closed community obsessed with the idea of "I'm playing the greatest game," blaming outside enemies for why the game declined.

Looking at Inven sometimes feels like looking at North Korea.

ImDefild: This loa-on needs to be good or its Joever :nod:

rc8929: LOAon is likely the last chance to save the west. But I would assume Smilegate would be better served to double down on anything that helps improve Korea and ignore the west.

IGGomezGodoy: Am I the only one who wants under-water based content? I miss it so much!

spritz5543: Balance patch would be nice but it's been asked too much I don't see how true balance will actually ever come, they always introduce a new system/raid fight that changes things up again. I think what the game really needs is to shift more and more towards main only game. The problem is Smilegate ran themselves into a wall because if they do that they'd alienate all the people who actually want to play alts. The other problem is also that there's no content in this game if you don't have alts. You have maybe 2 hours of weekly raiding with your 3 raids on your main and 5 minutes of dailies. So unfortunately, again alts are THE content this game has to offer, further cementing Lost Ark's reputation as an alt funnel game

oldtimebenchmarks5294: Lost ark has infinite potential in my eyes but never fails to miss the mark

Most pressing matters are in my opinion more solo/flex raids

On top of it some sort of cosmetic farming for showing off kayengel wings / thiamine chair

Or behemoth footprints

More things to do on main characters after you're done with all the raids that actually give progression in power to infinitely grind for it and enjoy your class and build more

Balance is important yes but new players dont care about that untill they face it

Zxcastform: thats a cool thumbnail memo

ineriRS: Stay gigachad, spam noted. Hope you doing well Mr. Memorizer.

jacksontof: i wasn't gonna doom too much until i've heard the final seconds of the video

JustMe-tv1uo: As a vet im tired to compete against bussers

mefikFS: New Raid with new prog system that should have atleast 7 layers of rng

ARK GRID CORE

You get 500 points and can upgrade your Core to COre with higher numbers - ofc it wont upgrade if you upgrade gem from Relic to Acients

aeners1515: I think they should have released a male Mage or Assassin first, but not a male Aya. Оld archetypes that have been in the game for a very long time still don't have different genders, and they're going to release a male Yoz? It doesn't make sense. I haven't met a single person in our region who would want to play him lmao

whatucookin2928: "'Its soo over'' - everyone for 3years

jerryy2413: xpp

pifferox: Ggs Memo dooming already!!! (Eheh XD)

Ronaldinhoo111: memo this was awesome video! many good points from kr people, i am happy they acknowledge the problems too, next step is hopefully we can fix them and make the game better for everyone!

chicknwing2742: I would love to see more support QoL to make it easier to play. Let atk power buffs stack duration so you don't have to worry about overlapping buffs and causing a lapse. Let paladin gain identity from all skills while aura is on; let valkyire and bard stack identity duration like Artist can.

melwashingtonverachoque461: NO TRADUCTOR SPANISH?

Trenk2009: Literally any other class than an Ayaya would be a net positiv.

---do2qd: if they release male ayaya i think im gonna quit lmao

kissqt: Overall, I am wishing for 2 things (and i don't know HOW this could not be in the game)

- Alleviate the game for returning player and new player. This is the only game where you need one year at least to be able to play a raid on release (at least on hard)

- Make a permanent TFM raid (it could be TFM, Old hell raids) Just a rotating TFM raid every 4 month that you can spam challenging content on your main

So whale and hardcore player can do speedrun, have hard content to spam on main and when we finish weekly. Casual can just chill on weeklies and New player can actually come back to the game

Director is focusing so much on gold sink and gold inflation but market will stabilize, what's the issue? If an accessories cost 200k or 2 millions, as long a it represents 2 weeks of raids. It's not a big deal It mostly fucked new player. If he really wants to, he can make something like karma. Huge gold sink at the very end for whale, fine for most casual player
