Acelerion posted:Is there any downside to just running some content that actually uses the combat system like the chaos of abyss stuff? I have the quest acquired 302 ilvl set. I'm following this guide. If you're at 302 you can hone your gear to unlock a higher tier of Chaos Dungeon that will get you actual upgrades. https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/resources/post-50-guide I guess you can just run whatever is available to you but it's not the most efficient use of your time, and in the case of Chaos Dungeons it seems that those cost some kind of time replenished energy? Not sure how it works. If you were to run a lower tier Chaos Dungeon you wouldn't actually get much better loot, maybe the same ilvl but higher numberic quality.

They didn't fix that poo poo on eu. I managed to get in the queue by reopening the game about ten times. The queue was a bit over 20k. That was four hours ago. About half an hour ago i noticed the queue number stopped updating. I gave it a while and googled to see if other people were seeing similar or if like they took the servers down or something and yeah definitely other people have seen it. Anyway you click cancel on the queue and it pops up the error message that has probably been sitting there since it silently disconnected you. Clicking ok exits the game. Restarting the game gave me the same "oh the server is too busy to talk to you right now" message from this morning. It's genuinely impressively poo poo from a technical perspective. Anyway i had poo poo to do this evening so wasn't actually expecting to play when I saw the 20k queue so no great loss.

Sorceress feels really weird to me, idk if other classes work like this or if it's just her but several of her skills do practically nothing while others one-shot entire waves of enemies. Tried them all at max skill level too, this isn't just a level scaling thing. It's not really a problem I guess because she has plenty of the skills that do huge damage (and they're very satisfying to use) it's just weird that several of the abilities are borderline useless.

It’s like 15 minutes iirc? sorry, i should have been more clear (though it's good to know i can party up quickly) - what i meant was, when will i be able to do things like dungeons or content with more than 2-3 enemies who die instantly with my friends? the post-Pridehome stuff i've seen is understandably very basic (i just cleared out the graverobbers in the 1-screen dungeon thing) so im just wondering when i get to something a little bit meatier.

The first "real" dungeon I think is in the second major zone after Pridehome, in the desert. It's still not that hard but it's a lot more elaborate than the mini-dungeons before it.

I don't get how people say this isn't like Diablo. Looking at the controls, perspective and gameplay it looks like Diablo. Just because Diablo has A slightly different progression/end game doesn't feel like a reason to not call it similar... But I haven't played it so maybe I'm missing something only watching others play it

Ugh, I just googled and it looks like the islands are more press G to interact kill 3 dudes rinse repeat type content? At least you only have to do 10-50 once I guess.

I've been using the following guide someone posted in the discord: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iCDIvEqyuq8gMJgCORDtOD-HO8zkaPhu1vwX0GnHgjc/preview?pru=AAABfw5oB4s*1W1U9ns7CjhhFI6XvAKIow This map helps too: https://lostark-es.com/map/

That’s really not that far by MMO or even ARPG standards. Even at a longer time to hit 50 of about 20 hours, you would be just getting to lower level dungeons in FFXIV or WoW. D3 is pretty quick to cap and start doing Grifts these days during seasons but that wasn’t the case for many years of that game’s life. The game up to 50 is really just a tutorial like most MMOs to slowly introduce you to the world and new features over time. Yes, it’s probably a bit too long. The time before you get your ship should be about half as long ideally.

Just because Diablo has A slightly different progression/end game doesn't feel like a reason to not call it similar... The big fights are more like a MMO fight (single big boss, telegraphed markers on the floor, need to stand in proper ways to not die, have adds and mechanics to deal with) or occasionally a monster hunter fight (single big boss, limited healing, required to read the boss for tells) as opposed to something like Diablo (lots of smaller enemies, things to dodge but not usually very telegraphed, few mechanics). And it's a very different progression system; Diablo and the like is about getting lots and lots of gear and wading through it to find something useful, while this game gives you a single gearset for X amount of content and expects you to upgrade it.

I think it would help calibrate expectations more if people understood that this game was apparently panned very hard in Korea when it launched. The developers listened to the criticism, managed to pull out of a nosedive and started earning player trust with higher quality content and good decision making, but there never was any kind of "Realm Reborn" effort where the entire game was scrapped and refreshed. The campaign leveling experience is the end result of them trimming basically all the fat it is possible to trim out of their original launch content in order to accelerate players to the higher levels where all their efforts have been concentrated. It probably *should* be trimmed even more (IMO the luterra castle siege or something like it should be literally in the first hour of the game), but that's where we're at.

Is there a simple list of "use these consumables while leveling, equip these items, but save these for your main or for end game?" Like, ive been using health potions that are a flat hp heal, saving the percentage ones, and not touching anything else because the guides are shock full of "if you use this you will need to grind for 30 hours to replace it"

They're pretty easy but I could be doing like 30% more dps! Also chaos rifts are basically your diablo gameplay. Tons of weak monsters, tons of drops. You're not getting legendaries or whatever but from what I can tell it's just a steady stream of "number go up" crystals

Just because Diablo has A slightly different progression/end game doesn't feel like a reason to not call it similar... Diablo is about using a handful of abilities to clear rooms of mobs as fast as possible. If you're doing well you might not even see the mobs before they die. In contrast, remember in Vanilla WOW using a frost mage to gather mobs in large packs then you'd AOE them down with Blizzard? Or the same thing later in Legion - you'd accumulate mobs and funnel them into one killzone so you could eye beam them all down? This game seems to lean heavily in that direction. Positioning and crowd controlling mobs so you can nuke them all down with the big hits. At least that's how it feels so far.

Sindai posted:Is that why every quest takes 5 seconds to complete once you actually get to where the objective is? Was it originally more "kill 30 bears to collect 3 bear asses"? From my understanding yes, it was originally far more bear-rear end collecty and you may have even had to grind monsters for XP. That's why they give like 1 experience point when you kill them, it's vestigial functionality from a much shittier game.

Also, in Diablo, you're the main character, while in this game it's Armen and you're just some rear end in a top hat who follows him around.

You absolutely are getting legendaries from chaos rifts, you're just not high enough level to do the ones that award oranges. Level 4 chaos rifts gave me a full set of orange accessories after 2 runs (a single day's worth) then you keep doing them for mats, and to get the engravings optimized. Abyss raids give you entire sets of epic and then legendary armor. It's an entirely different way of gearing than most MMOs and I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but I'm having a lot of fun.

dabble with the engraving stuff i still don't understand, and i hate that you're kind of afraid to interact with any item in the game out of fear that it's the only time you'll get be able to use them without some big payment up front, in-game or mtx anyway i still have no idea how facets and engravings work, and looks like i might have done something that fucks me for the entire game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rUz4pu-kbc&t=207s gently caress me for actually playing the game i guess, poo poo like this is what makes me stop playing games

Get access to chaos dungeons and guardian raids at 50, do those (2x each per day) and finish your story quest. You should be doing nothing but grinding until you at the least open and cap the starter endgame content.
