It feels like they have a fair bit of shit they are throwing out at the moment. I might be able to get a couple of characters to 1620 before the T4 release, not sure if I'll have the money to do all the transcendence, elixir, and advanced honing shit though.

The card packs for blue crystals is nice I guess but that's still a lot of money for most people.

Everyone is posting about how juiced the events are and I'm stuck in an airport. Sounds like they knocked this one out of the park and made it so it's impossible not to reach 1620 using the combination of the events.

Community managers commented and said the event tab reset was "intended" or at least not something they will try to revert. More orehas, books, and card xp

Superbooks the entire way for a character is nice and will definitely take some refunded gold, but the 9-20% RNG bracket is still all over the place. Some people have only spent 50k after the refunds while others are pitying and out of pocket 150k+

Can you use the event on a 1620 char just for the additional mats and such?

Rewards are not handed out until you click claim for each mission. Superbooks and Thaemine mats become character-bound so make sure you are on the right character before you do, probably no restrictions past that.

Akkan honing they specifically want +16 or above for mission progress, honing 1585-1600 on an alt did nothing.

edit: Epic selector from an ember STILL does not have Veskal in it, assuming Echidna was not put in the legendary ones either.

I've been stuck travelling for work but some thoughts relating to this patch:

It's fucking awesome. Double the drop rate of Fate Embers is not something I knew I needed in my life but I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I've gotten about 9 in total, with 120k gold worth in two days. The double event shop, additional login events, chaos dungeons shop rewards, return of the best daily event, etc. Everything results in you generating loot at a pace similar to an ARPG and it's a fantastic feeling. I haven't gotten to do any of my raids yet this week but I continue to look forward to playing, especially with the direction they've taken things and the upcoming content. I know it's an unpopular opinion and everyone continue's to think that this is an Asian grind MMO where you have to P2W to do anything but this is the best MMO on the market bar none and it isn't even close.

I'll be on home & on Discord this weekend for anyone who wants to check it out and has questions.

Finally got my roster to level 300 in anticipation of T4 and finished a lot of the stuff I wanted done. The only exception is some of my alts are still behind in transendence by virtue of how god awful it is as a system. I know it's next on the chopping block and that it's going to get the Elixir treatment (multiple nerfs) but I really hope the fix they put in is just paying X gold to unlock a 3 flower. The system can't be salvaged and needs to go away.

Their marketing team really does need to step up though, releasing T4 & Ignite servers in two weeks and I haven't seen anything. It's the biggest release the game has seen since launch with a lot to look forward to and it's crickets.

Amazon has probably given up any hope of people playing this. T4 should be a reset and a fresh playing ground for people. Instead they are locked behind the turbo gayness as you pointed out.

Really enjoying watching the Brel release race in KR. The combat in LA is incredibly satisfying and they've clearly tuned this to be a challenge. There are a few former pro league players that picked up Lost Ark in KR and went hard (Esther 9's) that are also competing, so there are about 5 groups with a legitimate chance at winning. We're about 2 hours in and G1 should fall once the stagger mech is solved, gonna be interesting to see how G2 plays.
