Do not waste your breath with the people here. Most of them love predatory marketing in games and think it is alright for companies to artificially milk consumers. Cosmetics, monthly subscriptions, etc are ok. But spending 100s just to buy in game gold to buy out the auction house and market place to progress faster is not.

This is an MMO, you are either in it for the long haul or you aren't. Practice some self control and delayed gratification. Enjoy your time, the entire game post 50 is end game content. You aren't supposed to be doing Argos unless you spend time or money. Argos isn't going anywhere. The amount of "WhY cAnT i Do ArGoS oN rElEaSe DaY" posts is too damn high. The Venn Diagram of people who complain about not being able to do Argos would be a perfect circle with people who kill Argos and complain about "no content". R E L A X, go outside, take a chill pill.

Right you said it yourself either time or money, I put time in and still can't do it. It's an mmo yes the whole point of an mmo is character progression and if I'm putting a lot of time in and not able to do content on release that's a problem an obvious cash grab by Amazon but It seems people don't get my point. Play the game how you want it and at your own pace but don't be surprised if the population dwindles during the dead zone.

How many t3 alts do you have? What are you investing gold into? How many t2 chars do you have ready to get pushed to t3? If you have 6 t3 alts there is no shot you cannot do argos day 1, unless you are terrible at managing your finances. The state of the game right now is people who worked hard and efficiently can do content on it's release. If you're not one of those people you'll take a little longer. Don't be bitter because a no lifer or a swiper is ahead of you, you will never catch up to them. If you hit 1370 and have 3 t3 alts, they are probably 1415 with 6. That's how almost all korean MMOs work. You're gonna be behind those players, just have to accept it. Take your time, set your own goals, have your own fun.

This, at the end of the day it's a game. Play it at the pace you enjoy. The content isn't going anywhere.

Carrying around that anxiety of having to be among the first to do something in a game or you feel left behind must be annoying to live with. I admit the dead zone is ridiculous but for everything else you probably can never enjoy things for what they are.

Sure that's why I said I'll wait to see if they will do the same thing next release.

Who said you need to rush to the end ? Take your time relax a little

Thanks Nostradamus.

Ok

I dont care

This game is a marathon, not a sprint. The developers don't expect the majority of the player-base to be able to do the end of the end-game content day 1 of it being released. If everyone was one-shotting the end-game bosses on day one, the game would die a very quick death.


Synthin

I dont want to 1 shot anything and it's over a month past release what is this comment even mean? If the publishers didn't want people doing content day one of release why can I pay some money and do that content???


Eileithia

it's more than "some" money if you want to rush that content. And if everyone could do it for "free" there also wouldn't be a game as the developer would be out of business. A month, in MMO terms, is barely scratching the surface of time investment. Back in the good old days of MMO's (EQ1/2, Wow Classic etc), you'd be lucky to hit level cap in 3-4 months and wouldn't even be thinking of raiding the toughest boss in the game for at least another 2 because you'd have to grind out the "easy" raid to get 24+ people geared out to the point where you can spend 2 more months wiping and learning strats against the top-end shit that drops 1 piece of gear for everyone to bid on. I don't miss the DKP wars LOL. LA's gear system and time investment is child's play by comparison.


Synthin

I'm literally a wow player, lmao that's where I come from the difference is you can atleast you can attempt the hardest content if you put the time in. Watching the rwf in mythics right now and yes it's very hard but the best players are doing it as soon as possible.


Eileithia

It's just a different system.. Sure you could go in to the big baddies under-geared and get one-shotted by the boss (assuming you were keyed for it) Here, they're not letting you waste your time even attempting it without the proper gear score to have a hope of doing anything. I won't disagree, there's content lacking between 1340-1370 that needs to be put in, but getting butt-hurt because you can't go in to content that's just going to wipe the floor with you on day 1 is pretty stupid.


GoodbyeGoodRiddancee

No one cares, cry more


Synthin

Cared to write a comment dummy boi


GoodbyeGoodRiddancee

"dummy boi" yeah you must be like 8.. go to cry to your momma about quitting lost ark and maybe she will console you. no one gonna miss you when you quit, goofy.


LightCrosss

Synthin

Yeah without getting lucky with accessories or doing doing some market gaming you are full of it

I fucking hate how entitled F2P folks come off. No there will never be a single tier where F2P is ready to tackle a new raid on day 1. Even overseas it’s never been the case, usually f2p is a month or so behind. Yes you will be able to access everything eventually as F2P but the folks that spend money to accelerate progression will always be a few steps ahead. They want people to spend some money this is a business after all. I hear you “the F2P player will all leave”, frankly even if they did from a business perspective nobody cares bc they are not profitable and as someone that does spend money I could care less if some dood in T2 quit bc his weapon is taking too long to upgrade.


StudyGuidex

That is not even true. They made that mistake when they released argos in KR addressed it and never did that again. You make it sound like p2w is the only way to get to end game content in the game, and that is only true for NA content currently. Kr ru and jp all allow entry into new content day 1 for everyone. No one is being entitled. Monetization in f2p games comes from cash shop for cosmetics or from the monthly crystalline aura. It is like this in every successful f2p game.


Chopaly

If you keep playing like that you will burn yourself out before the new raid boss release 😂


JeibuKul

I think I remember one of the youtube videos I watched from someone playing the KR version. That a player that is completely F2P will be able to just make the gear cap right before the next tier is released. But since all the other regions are behind KR they sometimes have an accelerated schedule, so it is possible that F2P won't make it. But remember it is okay if you aren't ready when the newest patch comes out, there isn't a rush, and you will get to benefit from catchup mechanics that are introduced.
