I don't understand Corean mmo :(
Concept was cool, way to grindy even for an MMO.
Combat is amazing. Visuals are great. Bosses have cool mechanics and are fun. But due to the way progression works it just becomes too much of a job for most people. Still worth playing until the grind becomes too much.
Lord almighty. Started this one with my friends cuz it looked like a fun free to play MMO, but wow is the grind INSANE. After watching my friend fail 3 times in a row on a 99% success rate bind or whatever, we all uninstalled.
the classes are so amazing id come back just for them but my god. the grinding is disgusting. waiting a week to do an upgrade just for it to fail. goodbye.
Really? Gender locked classes? Last time i checked an RPG lets you enjoy your own fantasy. Im not into playing as i child wearing...questionable "fantasy armoor".
One million people at release, now around 30k.
Also performance issues

don't.
The 8 player water dungeon plus the grind made this game unbearable unless you had a full group of friends playing with you
Besides the fact my playtime is 70% queue time. The game's good. That was during the launch, as for now I'm not sure but as much as I did play it I enjoyed it!
Podría ser un buen juego si no fuese porque quieren hacer de todo al tiempo, no conocí un juego tan disperso como este, las diarias te tomaban mucho tiempo y el farmeo solo era posible mediante alters, la verdad no es un buen juego en cuanto a su jugabilidad, tenía bastante potencial
Banger combat mechanics, too bad the rest of the game blows
Played from Western release 2 Years.
It was a good experience but the Grind got too heavy.

The first MMO I ever got into! I really had a lot of fun with this one. By the time I needed to start going around the different islands to increase my item levels for certain missions I basically fell off of it. But this game makes me way more excited for other MMO's in the near future. Thank you Lost Ark!
cant give it no stars. its a fucking press G simulator
help me i'm trapped in lost ark and surrounded by bodacious smooth-skinned babes with glistening eyes dressed in skimpy outfits. i'm trying to enjoy the gameplay but everywhere i turn: breasts, midriff, exposed skin... help!
Really great idea, the storyline was really okay, the combat mechanics are satisfying. Plus, it's one of the prettiest MMOs on the market. However, the game has a terrible endgame, which is something the genre stands on. Without paying, we are forced to grind forever, hoping that the weapon will eventually improve, if it fails, you don't progress for the next months.
Felt too much like a Cookie Clicker ARPG. Played a few nights with friends and it was 100% just mindless clicking while we chat on Discord.
It's not a game. You can choose what you want it to be.
There are 2 options.
Homework simulator.
Gambling simulator with real life money.

me gusto las primeras 6 horas despues es demasiado rpg chino

I would stay away from any Korean MMORPG, it will ruin you. I never want to touch this game ever game.
Grinded US release in Closed Beta (I think?). Full release I still played it, but I feel like I lost the inspiration once you don't put time into it daily.
Fun game while it lasted though.

this game gets a two star because playing it with friends for the first few weeks was genuinely hilarious but then it got. really bad. unfortunately it is my most played game on steam and i will have to live with that forever
Really fun if I didn't have to grind
i like da combat

‣ Final notes: I never play games like this, because they require massive commitment and a different gaming mindset, however Lost Ark interested me in its presentation. For a free game with no membership limitations Lost Ark has a ton of content for any player. It is mind numbing how much time you can waste playing this MMORPG. The combat is flashy, the graphics are impressive and beautiful, character models are oddly too good etc. I think the main reason why I finally enjoyed an MMORPG was because of its combat design. If you are familiar with games like Diablo or Path of Exile this won’t feel too different to you. The freedom you have is great and different skill combinations are just a sight to behold. As expected, the story is just there to exist, the voice acting is hit or miss and the objectives you do are repetitive. However, even being repetitive the game still interested me in late game areas. There was always a great variety in locations you get to explore and enemies you must beat. Lost Ark offers plenty of bosses to fight and ways to do it. You have other activities to dabble in from time to time like mining, foraging, hunting, and managing your own stronghold which brings a whole new bag of things to do. Then there’s sailing and the explorations of dozens of islands and little continents. Overall Lost Ark is a breath of fresh air in gaming and even if it has pay to win mechanics it still offers plenty of content to be explored without paying a single dime. Yes, it is repetitive and grindy, but what did you expect from a free to play MMORPG?

Lost Time
I wanted to love this game, but, man... after spending over 400 hours playing it, certain aspects have become so bad. While the game has one of the coolest endgame content i've ever seen, getting to that point feels more like a second job than a source of enjoyment and it doesn't stop there.
One major reason why I stopped playing this game is the almost impossible task of progressing with just one character. You need to play with 3-6 other characters to make any significant progression. You find yourself obligated to engage daily content such as Chaos Dungeons, Raids, and other content. This can stretch on for a considerable amount of time, that it starts to feel like a second job. It feels like that the games says, "Either dedicate 8 hours a day or spend a huge amount of money to make any progression".
Moreover, if you're not perfectly geared with the perfect stats, good luck finding any decent raid group in the high-end raids. This problem was already widely known in South Korea (where the game was released about 3 years earlier), and it's gradually making its way here too.
Then there is the card collection system. This is in my opinion one of the most monotonous activities in the game. However, you're forced to do this because don't forget, lacking good stats means no raids in the higher levels. Also not to forget is that you will need to do this for the alt characters too at some point.
I would not recommend this game better to avoid this one, if you want to start with an MMORPG, i would recommend games like Final Fantasy 14, World of Warcraft or Black Desert but stay away from this one if you don't want to waste hundreds of hours to notice that progress will be the worst grind.
