Also another EU maintenance, in case people who got fucked out of their dailies yesterday due to downtime ending at midnight wanted to try to get them done before the reset.

Why are these fucking clowns doing that a sunday morning? Doesn't sound like an "emergency" maintenance as they paint it out to be preparing stuff to increase EU server capacity. They could have done it on freaking monday morning and literally no one would have minded.

Is a gamepad viable? Keyboard + mouse feels cumbersome.
For movement, it feels WAY better, imo. However the different button combos, etc just feel way off. :(

Just as I did with my keybindings, if I went and customized some things on the controller it'd probably do way better.

I played around with using a ps4 controller and it worked fine once I turned it on in steam. Needed to remap the controls a bit to get off of their reliance on LT/LB for everything. The only annoying part is the mouse cursor is slow as shit.
Leveling a bard now with ps5 control. The auto aoe targrting is pretty sweet!

Yeah, although it wouldn't be so bad if a bunch of people didn't just get in with the island mats while others get fucked by RNG and are time gated until they can progress. They could have also released the fast progression thing, then everyone would be in T3 waiting for Argos. As it stands, when Argos releases, a lot of people are just not even going to be able to enter.

That raid release pace feels like it should have been with the catchup mechanic in, they don't make much sense when not together. That and having classes being "2-3months" even though there's a bunch of them missing.

Anyway just ranting cause of all the fucking failures, I think I'm over 25 now but stopped counting, I got the 100% pity crafts 3 times though including on a 14 > 15 armor.

Also another EU maintenance, in case people who got fucked out of their dailies yesterday due to downtime ending at midnight wanted to try to get them done before the reset.

Not sure how the EU auction house is however, thanks to the East market excessive amounts of materials are available. I bless the whales who were paying me 25x the value on t1 leapstones when the price would always drop the next day and allow me to fail an upgrade x3 and still make a profit!

I have never felt so disconnected from fellow forum gamer bros this game to me is hot garbage on a visceral level. The combat is just fucking awful. Fine with someone liking it but just hard to imagine the rpg mmo crowd we all came from would have any interest in this. Feels like a game you'd play on a tablet and it's just non stop button smashing.

Tell us you're trash at video games without telling us you're trash at video games.

Was only lvl 30 but decided to roll on a US East server. The queues are crazy on EU and the server I had picked is a french server, no thanks playing with them, they dont even use english.

Queue times should be better for me on a US server as its off prime time most of the time. Which server was the popular choice here?

I got the hat and pet drop from Asmo, but I couldnt' figure out where the fuck to finish the supply crate. But, at this point I can't bring myself to bother.
The pet, if it's the Saphia one, isn't tied to the Legends thing, guess it got opened up to all streamers after Crown had it for a week. None of the Teams have managed to reach T3 to open that other pet.

So made it to 35 last night, continuing my slow progress toward 50.

I enjoying the journey even if I have to admit that this is one of the worse questing I’ve done in an mmo so far. The story is not very good, the writing is bad, the voice work even worse. Still I’m going to read everything at least once. :)

The dungeons are amazing so far, maybe some of the best experience I’ve had in a very very long time. They have great design, somewhat non-linear with multiple paths, interesting things to do in them, and some seriously epic set pieces, moving up a ramp while fighting a dragon like demon that follows was super cool.

Unlocked the stromghold, that looks fun with lots to do. I can’t wait to unlock sailing now. Everything is complicated about this game though, like every game system has a lot of depth for good or bad. There is definitely stuff to do for a very long time if I end up wanting to do that.

Time to be a bard again. :)

What are Creation Fragments used for? My googling has yielded no results.
Upgrading Cards. When you use them, you get some Card xp added to the pool that you can then pump into various cards.

Remember the good old days where you could work for 8 hours, queue for 8 hours and sleep for 8 hours? Not anymore, I can't even reach the queue.

People are bashing the game and I still see them logging into it on steam. Its one of dumber things Ive seen lately.

I bashed the monetization of the game before I played it, but I'm still willing to give the game a chance. I'm not planning on taking it seriously, but I'm trying it.

Also it only took setting up two twitch prime trials and a VPN but I managed to get the twitch prime gaming stuff for lost ark in Japan. Also took several long conversations with Amazon customer service which let me know what I was doing wrong.

now I just have to remember to cancel all the free trials before I get charged

I'm not understanding the appeal to this game, so far it's boring as shit.

I find I have to play it in spurts. The game lacks the quality of keeping me entertained for long consecutive periods of time. Hopefully this changes once I get 50th but until then I am pacing it.

sexy anime chicks?

yeah. not sure yet myself. Like, genshin was obviously very fun. gatcha and chinese origins withstanding.

This, eh... ok arpg at best so far for me. standard shitty questing. standard shitty mmo, a billion achievment, collectables, and currencies.
we'll see on loadouts. I was not impressed at first, when doing the "class previews". sorc felt like shit, bard was better.. but still not great. so went bard.
But, I do see, when I got to the training room, theres way more skills then were in the preview. So figuring out a good loadout may have promise. runes, skill choice, and the pick 1 of 3 mods. however, this system really looks like its going to have a right and wrong choice, where in reality, everyone is going to end up with the same "correct" build.
same stay out of the red circles. same stagger/cc break as most games.

I see people keep mentining level design and dungeons being great. I have not hit one yet.
