I quit Lost Ark a long time ago mostly due to the:
Yeah, heard you had to Item Level grind (or whatever it’s called in Lost Ark) to reach arbitrary thresholds to do content.
Also heard that North America server had really trashy conversion rates compared to Korea and Japan.
Like $5 spent in NA is equal to the purchasing power of $1 in Korea or something. Costed easily 5 times when compared to other regions and their monetization.
And I honestly did not trust myself not to spend all my money to get ahead, so I quit cold turkey. Had to do it.
Has been zero communication from the devs that is the part that’s killing me and making me think this games is just not what they said it’s going to be. Sad honestly
Just give up. The more i think of it the more i realize AGS have way to much to fix. And it will never happen…
We’re begging for the bare minimum with some quality weapon balance and a new pvp map…
And we just get ignored.
I do wonder what the devs true intentions and motivations are for New World, and I worry that there’s a lot of carrot on a stick BS and manipulating players to create a value for those things like stacked decks and loaded dice, to support a luck system that is inherently a possible lie just to keep people chasing this carrot, while giving not even the most basic of MMO features any true MMO developer would have on day 1.
i think that this kind of feedback doesnt get to the devs, somewhat the support team turn a blind eye on our complains, there is no other reason why there are a six month bugs still around, muskets, trash perks and skills.
double attributes and aimbotters are being mass reported every day and are still in the game.,
It doesn’t, it’s why the game has a horrible attrition problem.
I can’t wait for transmog to be a pay to play token system! 
I love your work Amazon Games Studio! 
Best small indie company ever! 
I’ve posted this just recently in another topic, but I’ll do so here as well:
right now, AGS just wants your wallet for the initial purchase, then they do. not. care.
They are just looking to “pad their stats” for their shareholder’s meetings to justify their studio’s expenses. AKA, so the shit employees can keep taking their salaries.
Nothing will change until people stop buying skins, etc…
STOP BUYING STUFF PEOPLE. They will not give a f**** otherwise.
I mean if people stopped buying costumes, tent skins, weapon skins and what-not we would have a barber shop and in-depth character customization by this point in time. Probably boob + butt, abs + pecker sliders.
But alas, here we are 1 year deep with “female” characters that have a copy and pasted male skeleton + walking / running animation. Did I mention no swimming animation? Still walking on the bottom of the ocean.
Thanks for posting this. All points are very valid and if only ags listens and fixes 50% would be a dream.
Perhaps it’s really time to move on
I would be so grateful if every game gave me 3000 hours of play for one upfront payment. Instead it is an opportunity to say i expect more.
I gave up some time ago…
Just running M10s, wars and invasions wile waiting for T&L to launch…
The problems are obvious to us players there would not even be a need to write them down but the incompetence of the development team makes it necessary, despite this, they only make things worse! The pvp is in a bad state and the musket hasn’t been fixed for more than a year demonstrates the bad job they are doing, we all love the game and precisely because we love it we cannot make daily positive posts but we must make the developers understand that if they continue so other players will lose
AGS makes so many initial design mistakes that they spend so much time fixing bad design and bugs so they can’t move the ball forward fast enough because they are constantly back tracking. This is the biggest issue with New World. Released 2 years too early.
Bye and have fun on ur trip wherever leads u.
Now I hope u wont gonna make 6k hours on forum.
That would actually be a fun idea and would surely revive cooking. Imagine randomly generated recipes that gives a bunch of other boosts (including, stats, DOT, lucks) but food is BOP. That would promote actually trying to get the best recipe yourself and grinding cooking. The nicer recipe the better ingredients it needs.
Cooking experiments to generate new recipes would also be nice. Mash several high tier general recipes to get a roll on a good one.
Great post!
They don’t care though and it’s evident by the lack of content coming next year. As many people have mentioned, there is zero PVP updates…ZERO! (Don’t mention the cross server OPR as that is not content). The PVE content is meh and the fact we have to wait months and months to get a simple ‘gear set loadout or transmog’ shows how bad these developers are.
I have over 2000 hours in the game and I am done. I can’t defend the game anymore and I won’t defend the game anymore.
Next year we will get Blue Protocol, Throne and Liberty (and hopefully another alpha for Ashes of Creation). Once these MMO’S come out, combined with New Worlds trash roadmap, this game will be dead.
Sooner people start to finally accept this game has no direction the sooner we can move on to the next game.
On that cooking routine… if you can’t catch those legendary fish.
Brimestone area recipes for consistency.
Suggest folks find the following recipes
Beef Braciole-40 strength
Chili con Armadillo 40 dexterity
Ancho Masla Scorpion 40 Intelligence
Armadillo Jacon 40 focus
All of the above requires fish sauce. One ingredient required is 2 fish roe which are rng from certain fish (sturgeon/paddlefish) level 3 (green) and fished from fresh water in territories that are level 50 and lower. Or you just manage to get it in cooking aptitude crate.
Of course you do need the prime meat for type-from predators (beef roundels) and prime armadillos, prime scorpion which is Brimstone area.
Now Constitution 40 needs sumptuous rabbit.
Really?? can’t catch armadillos and harvest for prime armadillo meat?
Get food luck bonus and good skinning tools, trophy.
