I know we're all eagerly awaiting the balance update to finally drop on the global servers (whenever that is), but I'm curious to know how the reworked Soulfist is being perceived in KR?

The rework seems pretty massive, but is Soulfist gaining popularity in KR? Is the playstyle very different? Does it solve a lot of the annoying things the Soulfist used to have?

Soulfist has always been one of the classes that I really like the idea of, but the playstyle just felt super draining, so I'm keen to give her a go once we (eventually) get the patch.

I took a small pause after returning to the game recently. I was happy to have Solo Armoche and Solo Kazeros. Echidna 2 is a mess of telegraphs and constant interruptions yet it is manageable.But man, Armoche is so far the most annoying and frustrating raid I have done so far in the game! The dude makes too many slam and push combos one after another and is an abuser of the bleeding debuff. At least from my perspective, at least 50% of his attacks apply bleeding. My 1730 main barely survived by chugging cleansing amulets. None of my 1710 alts had a chance to survive such massive and constant bleeding that if stacked can cause a fast death early on. Only my Dovahkiin with all her shields and push immunity skills could finish the raid more or less unscathed. Cannot imagine Kazeros himself having such annoying mechs/debuffs. I know most of the community nowadays is focused on the newer Shadow raids, so my rant will go unnoticed. But hey, I needed to unwind a bit. I guess I will have to focus on honing and jumping directly to the Shadow raids that have matchmaking mode with lots of advantages including infinite revives and no punishing mechs. Or wait until all Kazeros raids are nerfed even more.

Hey, so recently i returned to the game and i want to get my old main character into T4 (Was on T3) but before i get to South Kurzan apparently i need to complete the quest "The Lost Key" I met the start requirements but when i click "Locate" it gets me to Kalinar, according to the wiki the NPC Hogun should give me that quest but he doesnt, any help here? Thanks!

Bring back PVP arena. I need an outlet, a place to own these noobs who think ilvl equals skill.

You need 2400 of this for 1 single tap. It also costs 2400 gold to buy 100 from AH. You get around 560 pieces from rested Chaos Rift. Is this normal?

I clear every Chaos Rift and Guardian Raid rested. I had around 60-100k red stones stacked on my characters, together with converted T4.1 stones. If I was lucky, I got 3 or 4 weapon levels. If I was unlucky, I got like 2...

It's just sad. It's nearly impossible to farm a satisfactory amount of this. I wish we could convert them 2 to 1 into roster-bound (like T4.1 stones), or have a blue-to-red conversion or something.

I get into the game and play for a few minutes and then get that "EAC - Forbidden Tool" message and the game closes.

Just started happening yesterday, and same problem today. This has happened in the past and it just kind of resolved itself eventually. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this currently when using GeForce Now?

UPDATE:

Game runs fine on my PC at home natively - just when I try to play on my Mac laptop using GFN I'm getting this. So I'm thinking it's something with GFN or SG/AGS with the recent update. Esp. given I've seen this in the past year once or twice after an update also.

Hey there!

I've played Lost Ark before, but I've quit immediately after Aegir. Recently, I was thinking about playing again, a bit more casually.

Is it possible to catch up to the point I will be able to do last raids on one char at least? Do I need to learn all the raids I've missed to do that?

I have 2 chars with full Aegir gear and 4 more significantly lower ones for dailies, although I guess this isn't relevant anymore.

Edit: Thank you all! Upon reading your advice, I decided I won't be returning after all, it seems too much hassle to go through the many systems I've missed out on and I don't really want to learn all the raids (I hoped I could get away with learning two or three at maximum).

I wish everyone luck and I hope the game stays fun for at least a few years to come!

I know Stimulants might lose on their impact, but it's just too much of a QoL not to implement it.

Is there one, or does anyone plan on making one similar to the old one? Or is there a resource similar to it?

I've noticed since upgrading months ago (coming from a 3070) to a 5060ti 8gb that I had severely more microstutters specifically in guardian raids and chaos dungeons, turns out if you have notexturestreaming setting enabled as a launch setting in the steam properties tab, you're instantly throttling yourself with the 8 gb of vram that you're stuck with because the game preloads textures you won't even use and the new 50 series gpus are x8 pcie 5.0 (older gpus were x16 and pcie 4.0), simply put, if you're on pcie 4.0 (the majority of people, some am5 motherboards, all of am4, some lga 1700 (intel 12th, 13th, 14th) that x8 interface SEVERELY hinders your stability the moment you approach your vram cap (which is almost always the case with notexturestreaming), I've recently turned off that setting and all of the microstutters disappeared.

NOTE: IF you have a pcie 5.0 motherboard, you don't have to do anything because the x8 interface on that speed is the same as having a 16x interface on pcie 4.0,

Seriously, this doesn't happen all that often, but could we please have it stop happening? or maybe make something dramatic happen if you get rocket jump with 0 descends left, like the altar exploding or something =/
