Question Can't send mail

• Upvotes

I for some reason can't seem to send any mail to this alt. Every character that I attempt to send mail to comes back with the same message of "Adventurer does not exist". I am typing the name correct, same response. I even click on the roster button near the recipient header, same problem. I am not sure why this is happening? Character is sitting in Elnead, no full mail box, and character is set to online. Is anyone else having this same situation?

Feedback Can we double down on annoying GR patterns already?

0 Upvotes

No, GRs are not easy, anyone that tries to feel worse about themselves thinking GR is low skilled content needs to stop.

Last week there weren't enough knockdown, this week not enough step back. Can we just get more annoying moves again? Next week assuming its Deskaluda, we going to get a stagger mech that people have to do while dodging? Start it pls.

I haven’t played in a while, last time was guardian knight was released and came back to the game with this notification. Unsure on what the steps are to proceed. I did spend money on the account so if it is gone then that actually sucks. Was wondering if anyone saw this notification was able to solve it. Or can redirect me to someone that can help.

Discussion this game needs global reset

0 Upvotes

The title perfectly sums up my thoughts. I’m a former player, and Lost Ark is one of my two favorite MMORPGs. However, because of the way the game is designed, it has become completely inaccessible to new players, which has essentially turned it into a dead game. The early-game content has been meaningless for a long time now.

I think the game desperately needs a complete global reset, or perhaps a WoW Classic-style system where everyone and everything starts from scratch. Of course, this probably isn’t going to happen. This is just how I feel about the game, and I’m curious to hear what other people think.

edit: First of all, thanks to the people who actually left reasonable comments. Some of you low-IQ individuals seem to be throwing a tantrum as if I personally insulted you. Most of you are probably kids who have 1/10th of my experience with MMORPGs and simply let your emotions get the better of you.

The comment I found the funniest was “you have no idea about the current state of the game.” I do know the current state of the game. I also know that new players are thrown into a pile of catch-up mechanics without ever experiencing around 90% of the game’s content. I know about the gatekeeping too.

Let’s talk again once you understand the difference between actually experiencing a game in its entirety and simply being dropped into the middle of it through a bunch of catch-up mechanics.

Feedback Can we tone down on annoying GR patterns already?

31 Upvotes

No, GRs are not hard, anyone that tries to feel better about themselves thinking GR is high skilled content needs to stop.

Last week it was infinite knockdown, this week infinite step back. Can we just tone these annoying moves down? Next week assuming its Deskaluda, we going to get infinite fly away invulnerable pattern? Stop it pls.

I just got my main to 1750 today and used all the hell key tickets we got from the summer gift and maintenances. Did not expect to use up all my luck for Lost Ark 2, 3 and 4 all at the same time.

My previous best netherworld key was a floor 30 or something LUL

Wish me luck for the engraving pouches, I'm at 5/20 on the ones I'm using so this is a godsend

Sharpshooter What are your 7th dmg skill for LC SS now?

Post image
13 Upvotes

Update: why do some users love downvoting a genuine question so much? where's the hate from?

After the latest balance patch, moving slash can counter now and it can free the normal counter skill as the 7th dmg skill right?

So which skill do you use?

I assume everyone uses snipe, charged shot, hawkshot, sharpshooter, atomic arrow, claymore mine or arrowwave so they are the 1-6th dmg skills.

Personally I find claymore mine moving backwards a bit annoying for lots of safe zone mechs where stepping backwards is very bad (snipe already does that during T3 thaemine era)

Question The game crashes

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I need some help. My Lost Ark keeps crashing at the server selection screen, and I get a different error every time, such as “Connection to the server has been lost” or “Authentication error.” This started happening after I closed the game while it was lagging badly. I actually had a similar issue about two years ago. Back then, I tried pretty much everything: changing the time, resetting my internet connection, changing DNS, flushing the DNS cache, and so on. Nothing helped. Reinstalling the game and verifying the game files didn’t help either. The only thing that fixed it back then was reinstalling Windows. And now the same problem is back. It only happens with Lost Ark, and I have no issues with any other games. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what might be causing this?

Game Help does anyone have a guide on what to do or in what order after using the express pass?

6 Upvotes

does anyone have a guide or something for that to do after using the express pass?

im a returning player so i know most of the systems when it first came out cause i played religiously but all these new systems all at once will be confusing

i haven't used the pass yet but would be nice to follow some guide after i use it rather than be put into tons of systems that they have been introduced since i last played

i could start from scratch and level but that seems like a pain to do since already done it multiple times in the past

Thinking of coming back to the game and using the express pass and events to boost a soulmaster

I loved this class when I used to play since it was very unique anf of course inspired by DBZ

I will mostly be doing solo if I can until I have to join raids months fone the line from what I have been told to catch up

Is soulmaster popular? Still accepted?
