People heading into this thinking this is a replacement for any ARPG are going to be thoroughly disappointed. This is korean first, mmo second, action based RPG third. And when I say action I dont mean western style arpgs as a genre, I mean that its more of an action MMO than regular tab target ones. You attacks have momentum, invisibility frames and more importantly commitment times where you can be punished if you use them at the wrong time.

Wyrmthang posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/nxc12f/value_of_the_silver_gold_platinum_founder_packs/ I honestly dont think they are going with the korean rates of currency, too inflated for western audiences. If they are saying 4k currency I'm going to expect its 40 bucks worth, not 4 bucks worth of it. Captain Oblivious posted:So is there any consensus on why certain classes are being weirdly withheld from NA/EU release, despite them being older classes in many cases? None of the classes are being withheld to be cash shop, classes are content in the game and they wouldn't gate them like that. They are witholding them to have content to release regularly to have people login in a few month.

Soulfist can be one of the top damaging units in the game but so much of it relies on her identity and ult that I just couldn't enjoy it. You gotta have a particular lizard brain that likes seeing the biggest one hit numbers in the game and be good enough to understand when to properly use it and thats just not for me. I will probably roll demon demonic. Her constant devil trigger build seems a lot of fun. Either that or I'll flip a coin for either striker or sorc

At least in the korean/russian version its like 1% extra stats, which equates to even less total damage increase. The real bonus is to help boost npc relationship I dont know if the western version is going to do what the other versions do but you can sell mats for premium currency for other players which then you can use to buy cash shop items.

Evil_Greven posted:Started Soulfist, did prologue. Rolled Shadowhunter, and it feels a lot smoother. I might do this prologue a few times just to try some classes. a lot of people are going to see soulfist and be baited into thinking you are goku but like 90% of your power is behind your ult and always feels anemic if you dont have and it feels terrible if you miss it.

A lot of advance classes have two functional builds. Like sorcs can focus on big burst windows or consistent damage that doesnt rely on their identity skill. Demonics and scouters have a build that has them nearly always in their powered up state and one that doesnt use it at all. Soulfist is stuck with spirit bomb build. You gotta enjoy that playstayle of looking for one single big number every few minutes because if you dont you are going to be disappointed. Thirsty Dog posted:Soulfist felt the coolest of the three options for lady martial artist, which I was not expecting at all. Hype is their identity skill, and the spirit bomb is their ult. Hype and her ult goes hand in hand because you need to be at max hype to maximize that burst window. And its not just you keeping track of your window, its matching it with your allies support damage boosters too. All burst window classes tend to rely on more situational awareness on both your bosses and allies to do well. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Feb 9, 2022 |

whalestory posted:From a few pages back but does this mean soulfist is kind of like monk/champion from ragnarok online? like it uses something akin to asura strike/guillotine fist... Not really. Asura knocked out all your MP and it was mostly used to OTK people in PVP. Most monks used that ball fling ability for sustained damage. Also asura was a point and click. Soulfist is a rollercoaster where you keep going down and spike up when your ults cooldown and hype line up. And the spirit bomb has like a 4 second wind up and most bosses constantly jump around screen so its really easy to miss if you dont know whats happening.

joepinetree posted:hopefully it gets better soon, but after ~2 and a half hours of playing my shadowhunter, I've managed to fill up the bar to transform into a demon exactly once. Endgame shadow hunters have a build thats literally transformed 95% of the time. If runs out you do like 2 or 3 cooldowns back to back and go back into demon. Its also the most faceroll combination of the game. You dont have to worry about cooldown windows or syncing with your allies or whatever, just hit button as they go out of cooldown.

I dont mind the anime grunts in this game because they have several different intonations per cast so they dont always get super repetitive like it is in other games. Specially anime fightning games.

Sorc feels like cheating leveling compared to some of the melee classes. All abilities are wide aoes. Some of the widest hitting one are also the hardest hitting ones in general so you use them to chunk bosses. No resource management while leveling, just cast whatever you want thats out of cooldown Scrapper early leveling in comparison is painful.

QuantaStarFire posted:Nah, mechanical differences of classes based on gender is poo poo, especially if one gender's moveset ends up being mathematically better than the other. It should purely be a cosmetic choice. Im talking about classes being mechanically different enough that math numbers dont matter, if you stick to one of the versions is because you like how they play better not because the math is a bit different. Like in DNF the difference between f.mage and m.mage are insane, each advance class is different from the other. Same with m.priest and f.priest. Samething happens with BDO. It sucks if you are more into the aesthetics of things but from mechanical gameplay standpoint I would rather development cycles be spent making new classes and keeping them balanced than making sure every class gets another model of the opposite gender.

Gwaihir posted:Some classes (gunslinger) have essentially a carbon copy for both genders, and the developer has mentioned that making more like that is a priority, but yeah it is kinda strange imo. They arent carbon copies though. They have different playstyles actually. Superficially they are similar in the same way wardancer and striker are similar from an aesthetic sense but they play differently. This is the same dynamics as in other F2P korean games, classes are considered content. The type of content that has people return to the game to try them out. Thats less likely to happen if the class is a carbon copy with the gender swapped out. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Feb 12, 2022 |

They hosed up some EU servers by temporarily opening the early access ones so everyone flooded to those instead of using the new ones. I dont know if thats happen in the US yet but I hope they dont make that mistake.

Buying anything thats not a cosmetic from the game story is a waste. Right now its difficult to see since the game is starting out but its going to turn into a BDO like experience where turbo whales with way more money than sense spend money for tiny gains and supply an endless horde of cosmetics/cash shop crystals for people with more time than money. Everyone wins except the grognards that take umbrage on someone using money to help get a higher GS than you for a few months before the games catch up systems make the gains meaningless

Saintone is going over some important info and also updated his FAQ to include some other questions. Basically if you are mad that you think you bricked your character because you opened the "wrong" green book for your class engraving then dont be. Theres a repeatable quest you can do max out on green class engravings. Blue ones you are going to have to grind with the other usual ways, he goes over those too.

Mmo is a prefix, not a genre Because when people hear arpg they think diablo and poe and this game might be superficially similar (95% of it is the camera perspective) but the rest is korean MMO. And korean is a significantly heavier adjective than action in this case.

Power pass available means you could boost them if you did have one, they hand them out occasionally in korea but right now you can get 2 from reaching cap and clearing the story up to a point. And yes there used to be a class specific starting area where you had a class without specialization, it eventually led to trixion where you would pick your advance class. Was still disjointed though.

You can see glimpses of the actual proper combat system while leveling when doing field bosses with a small group of people. Even having them be more common would have helped immensely with the difficulty thing. Reality is that they should have the option to enable a hardmode from the start that doubles enemies HP and triples the damage you take.

jokes posted:I want to play 3 classes: sorceress, wardancer, and sharpshooter (bow boi). I am not eager to do the 1-50 three times— how many battle pass boosts do I get if I leveled two of them to 50 and did all the story? You have to hand raise a character to cap and do the story to get 2 passes. So technically just from taking one through the grind you'll be able to play all 3 at cap. You can also use memory transfer to get another character to cap so you can have 4 characters at cap for the price of 1. BUT the power passes aren't really recommended by people that actually have played the game extensively for people starting out. You miss out on a lot of mats and unless you have a plan on how to get them fully online for alt grinding then you could be left with a suboptimal experience.

Coeurl Marx posted:I can't remember if it was in here or discord, but I've seen people say that powerpassing a new main isn't recommended right off the bat cause they'll be lacking something. Is it just cause you won't have all the bound battle items and % hp potions that a levelled character would have? I've been saving all my bound to roster chests full of them, my striker is almost 50 and I was tempted to try out and maybe switch to artillerist once I get there. There's definitely no way I'm taking another character through "press G simulator" anytime soon. No, its usually your class engravings that are harder to get.

I'm actively having less fun and getting frustrated because I'm constantly fighting muscle memory. Seriously get yourself a hand keypad / mouse with buttons. I had been using a g13 for years and if they still made them I would still buy a new one every so often (Up until recently I was using a red dragon monstrosity and now I'm using a razer one), its just convenient for MMOs to just be able to mitigate whatever bullshit the games designer throws at you.
