Lost Ark Closed Technical Alpha Playtest

"It's been 84 years.." Yes, i've been following, on and off, this game since its early announcement back in 2014. It is a perfect combination of hack'n'slash combat with very action skills AND a mmo formula. It is [b]not [/b] for everybody as you have to like going through questing process, unlockables, some farming, instanced party content, but if you like mmos and games like diablo or PoE, this is your [b] ultimate choice.[/b] [b]The game in EU and NA will be behind regarding available content in comparison with Russian and Korean versions but it will catch up after its release [/b] [b]THINGS I DON'T LIKE:[/b] - Over sexualization of female characters: i believe it's a typical korean style, or simply put "what impacts most" when it comes to these kind of games. Not really a fan of half naked girls fighting demon hordes and squirming while casting spells HOWEVER there's tons of really badass skins for your character. I just don't like going too outside of the fantasy (bikinis...

Recommend? hell yeah! And i'm picky as hell.. Beautiful graphics, immersive story, action combat, wish i could have done more but the character creation and my difficulty trying every character, there's a lot to do but a short time to do it. My only negative experience, is i have to wait until March 2022 to finally get my teeth stuck into it, and replace my real life with the game life lol ▒░░░░░░▄▄▄░░▄██▄░░░ ░░░░░░▐▀█▀▌░░░░▀█▄░ ░░░░░░▐█▄█▌░░░░░░▀█ ░░░░░░░▀▄▀░░░▄▄▄▄▄▀ ░░░░░▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀░░░░░ ░░░░█▀▄▄▄█░▀▀░░░░░░ ░░░░▌░▄▄▄▐▌▀▀▀░░░░░ ░▄░▐░░░▄▄░█░▀▀░░░░░ ░▀█▌░░░▄░▀█▀░▀░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░▄▄▐▌▄▄░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░...

People screaming about p2w need to learn how to read a little. People screaming there isn't any p2w need to also learn how to read a little.

I feel like I am playing a totally different game from everyone else in the review section. There MUST be many out there who feel just as perplexed as I am feeling. I am lev 28 and 6 hours in and I felt like I have just done 6 hours of data entry work. The skills are super cool and fun, but their potential is wasted on the unbelievably bad world and main quest. The levels are narrow funnels with a few throwaway trashmobs and the odd "elite monster." The main quest mostly consists of 30 second affairs of walking 10 seconds to kill 3 monsters nearby and talking to an NPC 10 seconds further down the level. The walking speed feels unnecessarily slow, and doubly so for the mounts. This game literally put me to sleep the other day. The dungeons are decent and feature a boss and multiple mini bosses. These were fun and well made, but consist of maybe 10-15% of the levelling experience at most. I thought nothing could ever rival the epic fail that was FF14s base game storyline grind, but I t...

I really love this game, Lost Ark is a fun that you should definitely play,This game really has a lot to do, It really feels like Diablo3 + AAA Korean MMORPG. Don't listen to anyone telling you this game is p2w

Eheheh, if I get flamed oh whale :^ it's like if diablo was made by good company and an mmorpg, and don't forget this is a top game in the 3 other areas it's fully released in, so be sure to give it it's deserved time.

Didnt expect much but actually had a lot of fun playing. The combat system was smooth, the skills were glorious and the skins were really bad ass.

This has been played spanning a week's time. I will try to keep this relatively spoiler free, so where I'm vague is where I'm trying not to spoil too much. CLASSES: I played several classes that I did not play in the Alpha test, all of which I listed below with my own brief description: - Berserker (Main): Hard hitting, great sword user that can also take a hit and mash enemies like potatoes in large quantities. Although a bit slower than the other classes, it makes up with sheer force and power behind each and every attack. - Gunlancer: The Gunlancer will hit foes hard with each ability...

FYI what I'm saying here is purely my opinion, and there are others who have different opinions than mine. 1. Story: As someone who do enjoy reading and watching story, at first, it seemed a little typical hero story, but I think the story slowly builds up to match what Lost Ark is about. The side story quests seems boring as usual, but the main story seems good overall. 7.5/10 2. Quest: All quests seem to be located around the main story quest, meaning no need to run to the opposite side of the continent to complete the quest, so I find this very convenient and well designed. 9/10 3. Dungeon: Rather than being that typical dungeon you encounter from playing WoW or FFXIV, this is more like PoE and Diablo portal (sorry I do not recall what term they use) dungeon. It's also nice to have two different modes (Normal and Hard) and have two different options, Party (Matchmaking) and Solo. Soloing the dungeon definitely takes longer compared to doing it with a party, but if you just want to ...

It is kinda hard to actually write a recommendation or a review on a game already released in other region and it being extremely popular already. But I would like to mention some points that may help people. This game is cluttered with a lot of misinformation and lack of information, which makes sense as all the information feeded to the western audience is either from the Russian Server or the Korean one, which themselves are different from each other. I never joined either of them and been waiting patiently for a launch so I can experience the game first hand and not being burn out on version a I don't expect to be around, as its an MMO and time investment is one of the primary factors people (me included) look out for. First heavy point I wanna point out, this game is not p2w but it has p2w elements or as I call them "pay to progress faster". It is true that you can get some raw materials for upgrade in the shop, faster sailing and other really nice QoL items, but also the game ...
