lost arc is just your standard generic Asian cash grab mmo. look at the skill systems and the menus etc. Just looks like your basic asian garbage copy paste game.

lost arc will go down in the list of middle-bottom tier mmos after six months of being out. I will put it at 1/5th of final fantasies player count on average once it regulars out.

Is out for 3 years in KR. Its biggest MMORPG out there currently. Its the only MMORPG that grown, instead losing players.
But I guess since you dont like it, it means it will fail, am I right? /s

read what I said. that koreans play their own garbage game doesn't in any sense mean that it's a good game to a western audience. hence my comment on its standard generic asian cash grab mmo. thats what they play there. so you saying its the most popular game in KR just further proves my point that it is infact, your standard korean game.


p.s. theres a game in some middle east/asia country where they slit the throat of a sheep and then cut off its legs and throw it around on horseback. its the most popular sport in that location. this means a western audience likes it, correct? its the most popular there hurdurrr i like anime teehee

Lost Ark has a comical artistic approach that is typical in Asian RPGs. Voluptuously perfect characters with small heads that are symbolic of perfection versus the asymmetry and grimy approach to western RPGs.

There's a reason Darkest Dungeon is so popular in the west. It's the same reason Game of Thrones was so popular before S8. We have a great appreciation for earthly realism. That's another thing I dislike about modern MMOs. A 100lb female throwing around a 100lb sword. Just like Arya killing the Night's King. When you go too far outside of our reality you lose us.

Lost Ark will eat PoE alive, and I m very happy about it. PoE devs stubbornness is replacing fun by chores and job-like gameplay.

I didn't understand one thing while watching LA streams. Why everybody run away somewhere? There are many monsters to kill! Clear the area!
Well, I figured it in closed beta.
It is MMO not ARPG. You get 2xp for killing monster.
I can not vote. These are different genres. But March 2022, i will be there...

Lost Ark is difficult to compare to PoE. PoE's main selling point, what it objectively has over any other ARPG existing currently, is build variety. The game is like a giant lego set that you can mix and match in various ways, and a big part of what makes PoE exciting is finding ways on how to "break" the game, find that obscure interaction or buy\craft\drop that one\several items that give you an insane synergy. I wish the developers would embrace this side of the game more instead of doing, in my opinion, completely idiotic meta shifts, hurting their main competetive advantage over other ARPGs.

Lost Ark is an MMO first, ARPG second, and hence it has different approach to leveling, endgame progression, open world zones, build variety and overall balance. I don't really see it taking many PoE players away for good. However, personally, when I was finally fed up with PoE and realized that the things that bother me the most will never be addresed, Lost Ark was the game to fill that ARPG slot, Grim Dawn, Last Epoch or Wolcen did not look appealing to me personally for different reasons.

Its literally most hyped game to be realesed in near future. In the west.
You are just another perfect example of "I dont like it hence its shit" type of person.

Playing Lost Ark for 2 days now, on Russian servers. First impressions:

1) LA is a game for casuals, unlike PoE.
2) Female chars are just gorgeous, it's the thing that attract me the most in LA.
3) Dialogs and quests are stupid garbage, even kids won't buy it.
4) Skills quite interesting so far.
5) Skills customization kinda underwhelming.
6) Gear customization nonexistent.
7) Bosses look interesting but fought only a few.

Thats how you make your game have 10 times more players playing it. The more casual it is, the more popular it will be.
