I bought the expensive version of Lost ARK

Subjective! I’m under the impression that my Sims experience is better. We get nowhere with statements like that. :frowning:

I tried to play the least expensive version of Lost Ark with today’s release and…

Due to deployment issues the Lost Ark launch is unfortunately delayed. We hope to have this resolved in a matter of hours, and we appreciate your patience. We want your time in Arkesia to be a great experience and we’re working hard to get Lost Ark live as soon as possible. Stay tuned to our social media and website for updates.

There are two things that keep me from trying out Lost Ark:

  1. Asian design. I don’t like the manga / anime style.
  2. We start out as demigods. I just loved how I started out as an everyman in WoW. I wish I could still kill bandits instead of going to the afterlife to save the world.

And the DLCs too

Any person less prone to make good decisions than others buying this Game have done a ups ups. Play diablo instead, or play FF (BARF) if you want to cute anime and tentacles. Lost ark is for streamers to make money and the company to make the big bucks for a month or couple then have it die out so they can work on their next hit that’ll milk your pockets so the executive can buy his vacation house in hawaii.

All it is

I think I’m just gonna wait for tomorrow to play it.

Or they could have you pay a subscription, pay a new expansion, have a cash shop, and a token that translate to in game money. Incentives to pay a 6 month cycle while doing new content (gated by the way so they squeeze you really really hard) only by the end of the cycle while slapping a flashy new mount in your face because you want the mount right?

Sheeeeet, but at least 3rd person is good, and the game is good. lost ark isnt. and if you want some strategy up in the clouds camera game play diablo, right.

overplayed it. there is not much new stuff going on there, and no seasons dont bring so much stuff, every season kinda feels the same.

I guess. :slight_smile:

I like that you deflected the fact that if we were to compare about who squeeze who really hard wow would be miles ahead on that game.

Sheeet, the difference is that blizzard make good things, and have done over the years and to be fair most of the things that people find appalling today is truly the community that asked for it, let us be honest my subjective feeling is that blizzard make the best. And yours is most likely too, since you’re here in some shape.

Like the rest, there is no game or company out there that is close to blizzard in talent and skill when it comes to creating great games.

Now put aside your subjective thinking of its blizzard, because it really isnt everything they add the shops everything is something people have been asking for, it really is most of the things they add.

You can blame blizzard for the way they did it, but you wouldn’t like any other option available either, I see that subjectively everyday people ask for one thing, get it and then dont like it.

Blizzard can only do so much, they’re adding tons of awesome things to the Game that you dont have to pay for, but you have to play to obtain, if you either play too much or your taste in mounts or transmog is not the same as millions of others then how can your subjetive oppinion about the lack of good mounts or transmogs be bad that maybe you dislike the shop.

They’re an option, and someday, sometime a mog, or mount will come that you like that others dont that is free to grap.

Its all subjetive.

A lot of people dont understand that today, but at least in the end the Game is good, not like lost ark.

yes WoW is the best mmo on the market.
But make no mistake, lost ark is free, wow is a very expensive hobby.
if any mmo out there turns out to be able to compete I think my wallet will thank me a lot.

Yes, but what do most other Games do to make up for the money, they P2W - which people dont like, and while wow do have a cash shop there is no pay to win elements in there, wow isn’t a winning Game.

You can’t win arena at the highest level for buying a wow token and being carried, or M+, or raids - You as a player do not win if you pay, pay to win is when there is an advantage over others in terms of an economical standpoint, take a mobile game - If you need resources to build more armies and you can pay that’s an advantage, if you can pay to get legendary gear that never changes, or super items that’s pay to win, or other things.

World of Warcraft is different, there is no winning. You dont have an unfair advantage over others, you dont have more resources or legendary armor, or super armor, or other items that take away any chance from others.

Now I dont know what lost ark have, but they’ll eventually have things that give players super advantages, or they’re going all out on costumes, or other things its not free. Because in the end it’ll entice a player, or force a player to maybe make a micro transaction or more to enjoy it.

Have you seen that south park episode where they talk about freemium, Free games are bad by design, playable but bad. But you can make them awesome by paying, where as wow don’t do that, they make whole content, compact content, and its fun and enjoyable from the get go, but again everyone has their dislikes and likes but wow is different. You pay for the full package, you dont in lost ark.

wow token gets you anything you want in this game.
Speaking about enticing players imagine you play a game you go on adventure you enjoying yourself suddenly you hit 20 and the game stops and says ‘‘Ops you need to pay to continue’’

What do you call this?

Well would you rather pay the full amount then be dissatisfied and not be able to get a refund, or try it out a bit then decide wether you want to pay to play it. And no not in the same way as P2W is classified, and lost ark will have a p2w factor that goes along the lines of having a super advantage.

World of Warcraft dont do that, it’s in the end about skill - You can’t beat a whale as people call them in P2W games if you’re free to play.

You can easily beat someone that buys tokens to get carried, and well… You dont have to pay to get help, I know of a way that is free.

You could try Elite Dangerous. The devs have a policy where they make no announcement about what they’re adding to the game. So the players always have the feeling that they may be the next dude to discover the newest addition to the game.
Exploration done right, imo.
