Wow that’s… super loving annoying. I purposefully didn’t buy a pack because I wasn’t sure if the game would hook me but I still wanted to play with goons.

Is this pretty much forcing my hand if I still want to get in a goon guild?

You can play with anyone in the region no matter what server you're on. Being on the exact server is only required for guild benefits which are ???.

I find myself badly wishing this game had a version of Diablo 3's Adventure mode for leveling instead of questing. I know Lost Ark is not at all A Diablo despite superficial resemblances but man I just find myself wishing I could run dungeons and smash things to level instead of running around clicking through dialogue, even if it's still not taking a ton of time. The combat's a blast and I feel like all the questing is just getting in the way of the part I want to do.

God yes. Every game vaguely in this genre NEEDS adventure mode leveling.

I went through about 2 hours in a row last night of just doing the most mind numbing quests running back and forth delivering crap and going through stronghold quests, etc. shortly after prince crowning around level 31ish. I think I killed about 2 dozen guys total in that time. Collecting bear asses would have been a huge improvement.

But then I did a pretty cool group dungeon and seem to be back to mowing through guys by the dozen, so I'm back onboard.

I do wish the guild support was better. We have a bunch of full guilds of goons on una, but they all cap at 30 people so at the moment it's like 10-15 people on at any one time and everyone is a different level. It's pretty quiet out there in Atrocious most of the time. It'd be nice to chat with everyone without having to alt-tab out to discord. I guess I could turn the discord overlay back on and solve part of that problem, but 30 is a stupidly low guild cap to start with.

I hit that at the end of of an eight hour day of playing and I'm glad I got it done that night because at the end I did not want to play anymore.

but I woke up refreshed and ready to dive back in.

NA East
Azena
Una

This character creation limit will remain in place for the foreseeable future, and we will provide an update when it is eventually removed.

It really isn't that complicated.
There's no good option, but if F2P goons can not dedicate to a server for like a week, just try things out and see if this a temporary stop gap, I think that would be best. Currently we'd need extra guild organizers in all 3 regions to handle people trying to setup new homes on different server, which if you wanna do that great, and I can help get you guys setup in the Discord. But speaking for NA East, that's not something I want to add to our current load of too many guilds because of this terrible player cap. No good options for this poo poo sandwich.

I suppose even without that or the 10k from the bronze back from login bonuses and leveling in general I have 25k already and I've barely done anything, but it feels bad. :v:

I got the one for 40,000 basic attacks at level 11 which seems... not accurate.

Steam achievements are incredibly inaccurate for whatever reason across the board. Both in getting them too early, and then ones that are really easy showing 0.1% player base completion, while others have more accurate numbers. Whole implementation is borked.

It's just 'hunt 20 times' but you can't complete it as a new guild member (which everyone is because the servers haven't been online long enough for anyone not to be).

You need to complete the main quest chain in the area where chaos gates unlock to get your first

But I guess I can’t use mine for a while since now the server is closed

RIP i bought the platinum founders edition but haven't had time to play until this afternoon and was apparently too late to join before they closed off character creation on the server my friends (and goons) are on. That's what I get for buying the game on Amazon instead of Steam where I could get a refund.

Also, at the top of the list of things I wish I knew earlier, you can get almost a full 20 books of class specialization engravings if you do the purple quest chains from the king guy (theinan?) before moving off the first continent. So like around lvl 35. The last few books needed to unlock the bonus can be found on the next continent. Those can be a pretty huge bonus depending on the class and I was lvl 50+ before going back to mop those up.

Isn't that the appeal of ARPGs? Just slamming groups of mobs and watching numbers go up?

If all of the XP is in quests it sounds like level progression is much closer to WoW or FFXIV than it is a typical ARPG.

For anyone playing from Australia, what's the latency looking like during early access?

I'm still debating between gunlancer and paladin, but I'm leaning more towards gunlancer. It's very slow to start with but it seems more active and flexible in terms of support than paladin.
From all I've seen, paladin support comes in way late in the game and it's just pressing one button from time to time, while gunlancer has an interrupt, a counter move and other stuff too including 2 viable builds.

That's why people in this thread and elsewhere have been trying to warn for a long time, that even though it uses an isometric view, this is not an arpg.

edit: It's even stated there in the op. It should probably be put as a disclaimer in all caps and sirens.
