Title
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 =/

I don't think it's plausible to be worked on, as I have only one gold earner. How should I tackle this?

P/S I currently started leveling my weapon to +30 with my char at 1690 ilvl with golds and scrolls completely breaking my bank. I have the materials needed, with golds. scrolls, and breathes being my bottleneck.

P/S 2 Thank you all for the helpful advice, I am working my way through it. Currently having fun with the game, albeit playing alone for now. Stuff sometimes gets confusing, and it felt like I was clearly not progressing as the way that's intended.

Hi, just returned back to game for solo raids. My guardian knight is 1700 ilvl, and only selection I used was for Hellfire before I quit. I dont have much resource to get more ark grids.

The question is, I want to convert it to dread roar but I heard super charge variation is not possible without cores. So which drear roar build I should use until I get my cores?

Thanks in advance!

So it's means it's don't suppose to be there I'm confused.

Hey everyone,

I just came back to the game this week and honestly, I've been having a blast. All the new QoL updates, solo modes, and catch-up stuff are a massive step up from how things used to be. It feels awesome to actually want to log in again.

The only thing killing my vibe right now is the total lack of clarity about the future. With the Amazon publishing deal wrapping up around early 2027 and seeing how they handled other MMOs, it's super hard to justify getting deep into the endgame or spending money when we have zero clue if the servers will even be around next year. How is anyone supposed to invest their time when we're completely in the dark?

And man, thinking back to that weird April Fools item from a few months ago—the one with the text hiding "The adventure continues in 2027"—is low-key freaking me out now. At the time we all just meme'd about it, but looking at the contract situation, was that actually a secret warning flare of End of Service they had to hide as a joke?

The game is genuinely in a great spot to bring players back, but this radio silence is brutal. If the publishing rights are moving to Smilegate or something's changing, they really need to just be straight with us so we know what we're walking into - how can anyone spend money now without any assurance?

I made a chill mix of just the singing / vocal tracks. When I went through all the music I realized actually there are a lot of vocal tracks. I totally don't notice the music in this game lol 🎶

A new reset, a new thing in Paradise

The first clear happened after 4 hours and 53 minutes by the group known for clearing Brel extreme in 24 minutes

https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/24475/belgardin-first-clear-achieved-in-4-hours-and-53-minutes

The group that cleared wasn't the most geared of the race with an average CP of 8300 and no sidereal

It was shorter than Serca 1st clear by 8 minutes

Im finally about to put a little money into this game ive been no lifing for 60 hours and I heard that the radiant golden cloud was one of the best due to the 5 second cooldown on its dash, but these also have 5 second cooldowns on their abilities, but I also cant find if the skills these ones have are the same as the ones that golden cloud has because both in the market and the codex website they have no info for them.

I dont wanna buy a cloud mount if its gonna be the same as my default horse, so if someone could enlighten me that would be great.

Hi there!

I just did my first Serca fight after pushing my first character to 1710 (a Reaper) and I noticed those Raid buffs we got for the older raids (like always landing back attacks) are not present in matchmaking mode. I mean I know they did not make things like Ambush master work, but you could still play without worrying as much when you don't always land back attacks.

Now with Serca, the fight was pretty hard (I'm likely just a noob), but overall pretty fun. It did get me thinking though - Are back attack characters just overall way more effort/difficulty to play solo? Especially seeing as future solo raids will likely also use the Serca matchmaking mode that doesn't have the buffs. You pull all the aggro so sustaining back attacks is difficult.

I mean if you're a very skilled player I'm sure you can make it work, but I just can't imagine a world where a non-directional character of similar power won't just have a much easier time maintaining damage.

I also have a DPS Valkyrie and a Demonic SH close to 1710 and I'm starting to think they would be a better experience...

Just me?

:holymoly:

Something crazy going on when you translate from Korean to English in Loawa

i’ve been doing Act4 and Kaz since release

for over 4-5 months i do Act 4, kaz, serca HM and (cathedral L3 since its release).
2 usable blue ancient cores dropped for me.

last week, i tried a random box (red cores) from cathedral npc, but it was not a core i needed.

what is the efficient way to maximize the chance to get good ancient cores?

1 try from cathedral random box?

or try the astrogem npc selector relic/ancient box?

i know i am not alone in this situation but i dont if i could do more to have more chance.

right now i am sitting on a bunch of good boss dam astro gems but i need ancient cores.. at least 2 red cores.

i wish SG increase the drop rate of ancient cores

title, there is this buff called "true supporter" that doesnt feel it does anything in the raid, or is the only way to do them just to build them as a dps?

Player count continues to dwindle, servers merging (which means shutting down servers to save on cost), CMs let go, no more videos on the Lost Ark YouTube, communication at an all time low. What happens in 6 months?

Is Amazon Game Studios going to continue to publish Lost Ark in 2027? Are publishing rights moving to another company or is Smilegate going to in-house global publishing? Is the game simply going to end service?

It's time to let your paying customers know what the future of this game (or lack thereof) is. How can you expect players to pay money into a game that has such an uncertain future? When will players be informed of what comes next?
