    Can't play because of queues. You do not need any additional info to give this game zero. You just can't play it at the moment.

    hm Steam says i played the Game 22 hours.
    Sad thing is, 16h of that time I spent in queue.
    The Game is ok to play, but not worth the Hype.

Just because a game is free doesn't give it an excuse for the absurd cash shopI've already put solid 30 hours into it, but the cash shop and clear p2w there was just very off putting. I know I know a free to play game they have to make money right, well there are plenty of games out there that are free to play and make plenty of money without impacting the gameplay balance and experience. Just because a game is free doesn't give it an excuse for the absurd cash shop this game has, and neither do I mind paying for a game or a subscription if it means they devs are not constantly focusing on how can they create a new system (slot machine) of RNG to drain my wallet.

    You might argue that the systems are reasonable for f2p, but you just need to look at the engravings system to see it's not the case.

    Anyway I decided to give it a try with Amazon at the helm since they mentioned they'll change it for western release by cutting down on the monetization, but after playing it for a bit it's definitely not the case, nothing has changed from RU to this version that I could see.

    Straight of the bat this game feels like the typical free mobile game by showering you with different currencies, items, systems and notifications all over the screen every time you do something, there are like 5 screens where you're claiming one box or another getting some new currency. Might be due to the fact that the game has been out for a few years but it still felt like a super cheap mobile game.

    The combat is okay, I would not call it great, it's made to feel impactful and it achieves that very well, but every hit you do staggers the groups of enemies you're fighting making it feel a bit boring. The best part are the bosses this is where it shines and it was the only thing that kept me playing trough tier 1 and 2.

    But that would not be enough for me to overlook the hyper aggressive p2w monetization of the game, as it's everything bad with a lot of today's games.

    The whole game has this design where it's trying to keep you playing one way or another by showering you with crumbs of loot, and making you engage with RNG systems, it just leaves a bad taste even though the game looks and plays very nice.    … Expand

There’s a million different systems in place to try and milk you for overpriced in game purchases, to the point you just feel overwhelmed. I know people have said “it really gets good in the end game”, but I can’t bring myself to suffer through that in the hopes that the game might get good at some point. Lost Ark feels like every other cheap, mobile ARPG I’ve ever played, and honestly, that’s where it belongs.… Expand

    El único motivo por el que todos estamos intentando jugar a esto es porque prometía algo que no ha cumplido.

    El único motivo por el que todos estamos intentando jugar a esto es porque prometía algo que no ha cumplido.

    Obviamente que no os recomiendo meter ni un solo euro dentro del juego, porque no se lo merecen, hasta los jugadores que tuvimos que pagar para jugar antes de tiempo hemos tenido que jodernos con un contenido no admite devolución porque "OTRA VEZ" a Amazon o la empresa encargada de los servidores no le ha salido de las narices hacer las matematicas de que si tienes a los cuatro streamer top moñecos de turno entrando a los mismos servidores vas a tener problemas, pero es que va mas lejos de eso.

    El juego esta mal animado, la calidad de los personajes se reduce automaticamente una vez creado el personaje, no es ilusión óptica vuestra pasa de verdad y es pasable, pero es que los monos todavía van y ponen escenas especificas que te acercan a los personajes y en las que las animaciones que están incompletas igual que las lineas de audio de los personajes no principales, te hacen sentir que estás viendo "WARCRAFT III: REFORGED" pero es peor porque te estaban vendiendo un juego tipo diablo 3 pero mejor, y bueno en cierto modo tenían razón, es como diablo 3, los servidores funcionan como tu amigo Paco cuando se ha pasado de la tercera copa.

    Literalmente la historia funciona y esta bien porque se han limitado a copiar y copiar cosas, pero una tras otra es que a lo poco que vengas de jugar otros juegos MMorpg te ves todas las copias y referencias que han metido de otros juegos. ¿Qué aún así te puede gustar el juego? Obvio, es fácil de jugar, es entretenido y todo lo que quieras y puedes echar unos jajas con tus amigos y te pueden gustar detalles de la historia.

    PERO TODO ESO SERÁ SI NO TE COMES UNA COLA DE 19.000 PERSONAS O 6.000 lo que viene a ser ¿Qué? 2 a 6 horas de espera y cuidado, que como el juego se cuelgue, te quedes afk, o pases mas de 20 minutos en un sitio leyendo habilidades y mecanicas propias del juego y el servidor de por hecho que no estás te vas para la calle a llorar un rato. Y dirás "A ver pero lo de los servidores es temporal, el juego es nuevo aunque use mecanicas del año de matusalem, ya lo solucionaran todo que acaba de salir"

    Bueno el tema es que retrasaron el lanzamiento free to play, le quitaron un día entero a la gente que pago para preparar la salida del free to play y aún así, la ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, y llevan diciendo de que van a solucionarlo y meter servidores desde que ha salido, tirando los servidores abajo por mantenimiento para "parches" que no solucionan nada.

    Y ♥♥♥♥♥ sabéis que me esta hasta dando pereza escribir todo este texto pero seguramente si te lo estás leyendo es porque estas en la cola esperando, como yo toda esta mañana, para que se caiga el servidor y me tenga que comer otra cola de 6 horas.

    RECOMIENDO JUGAR LOST ARK: NO, PERO NO POR EL JUEGO EN SI, QUE AUNQUE TENGA ERRORES Y PAREZCA UN JUEGO SACADO DE 2012 CON UNA HISTORIA GENERICA POR LO MENOS SE TE PUEDE HACER DIVERTIDO Y ENTRETENIDO, SI NO PORQUE LITERALMENTE LA MISMA COMPAÑÍA QUE COMPRA AVIONES Y TIENE MILLONES DE CENTROS DE DISTRIBUCIÓN PARA QUE A TI TE LLEGUE TU TACITA CON LA CARA DE PUTIN EN UN DÍA TE ESTA INTENTANDO VENDER LA MOTO DE QUE NO SABIAN QUE LO SERVIDORES IBAN A PETAR DESPUÉS DE QUE LES HAYA PASADO LO MISMO CON SU ANTERIOR LANZAMIENTO.    … Expand

    Being a korean mmo it has all the grind, all the weird character art style and all the p2w cashshop items.
    There's really no sugar coating these facts: You can either accept this game the way it is or you don't. Sadly I couldn't, but I hope the people who do are having a blast.

    Its a fun game and has tons of potential even for a f2p with heavy cash shop. Sadly the launch for eue is messed up and the servers can barely keep up making it unplayable for everyone.

    It is a terrible and heavily monetized cash grab.
    The game is also filled with hundreds of thousands of bots, illegaly selling Gold to many players, and also full with cheaters and private bot users.

    AGS managed to drive yet another game in the ground...

    Your average corean F2P MMO, but on a isometric ARPG format. Something like a Diablo 3 clone (combat is quite similar) but with F2P MMO elements inside.

    It could indeed use an "autopath" function and play itself like many mobile MMOs wich plays quite similar. It locks endgame content behind a campaign wich basically consist on getting from point to point getting and completing quest.    Your average corean F2P MMO, but on a isometric ARPG format.

    Combat is irrelevant as enemies doesn´t gives you noticeable exp or drop. Same goes for Sidequest, they could be completely removed from the game and would make no impact whatsoever.

    Playing with friends makes no sense, as the campaign is so easy and straightforward that teaming up will just slow you (there are little combat, and most missions are, again, just to get from A to B for the most part)

    When you reach endgame you´ll be overwhelmed by the amount of different kinds of "tokens" to purchase different kind of stuff. And the renowned endgame content wich you can finally play with friends, will be gated. 2 tries per day.

    That being said endgame consist on running the dungeons (just 2 times per day/characters, encouraging you to make alts) to farm gear and materials to craft gear wich will enable you to get to next tier dungeon. Sounds somehow ok-ish, until you find your progression artificially locked by daily chances or whatever.

    And again, the annoying missions persist as dailies: run from A to B then go to C and talk to D wich will send you E.

    So overall: its your regular F2P MMO, now with isometric view.

    If you are into those kind of games, go ahead. Its more of the same stuff. Otherwise, stay away.    … Expand

    I have played this game for like 4 hours with a friend of mine and my impressions aren't very good or even nice. You can tell it's just a major cash grab from amazon with what it's possibly one of the shallowest games since basically ever and here is why:

    1st - The Story - You want a meaningful storyline with some new ideas and interesting character development, nevermind this game.    I have played this game for like 4 hours with a friend of mine and my impressions aren't very good or even nice. You can tell it's just a major cash grab from amazon with what it's possibly one of the shallowest games since basically ever and here is why:

    1st - The Story -
    You want a meaningful storyline with some new ideas and interesting character development, nevermind this game. The story in this game is a click fest, every npc that talks to you just has a lot of expository dialog that doesnt bring anything new to the table or anything remotely interesting, and if you skip every line of dialog you will still understand what is going on because of how many times you have seen this story in other games. Same old, same old.

    2nd Gameplay
    It looks fun, it even feels fun. You can tell that a lot of work got put into the development of the gameplay but ends up being extremely repetetive and mindless. Sure, if you play all the way through to the endgame, you will find some challenges along the way that make it worth your while, but you'll have to deal with all the mindless content and brainless combat for the majority of the game.

    3rd Gameplay + Story
    By "mindless content" I mean all of the quests from basically every NPC that go along the lines of "Go there and kill that for me", "Go there and get that thing for me (and kill that thing for me while you are there)", "Go there and take this thing to that guy for me (because even though there is magic I still need the help of someone I met 5 minutes ago)". It's just tedious and extremely repetetive

    3rd The Grind
    As any MMORPG, there is a grind fest as well. I don't mind grinding, as long as the Developers find a way to make it fun and entertaining in some aspect. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. It's just, again, mindless and the loot that you get as a reward isn't even that rewarding.

    4th - Multiplayer
    I didn't explore every aspect of this, but me and my friend did try to do a dungeon together and as soon as we tried this happened: He played an extra 40 minutes than me so, for some insane reason the game required us to be at the same quest to enter the dungeon together. This means that if I later on I want to help another friend level up, I can't. They have to do all that excuse for content by themselves because the developers seem to think that the experience alone is rewarding.
    To be honest, I only lasted as long as I did playing this game because I was with a friend otherwise I would've uninstalled it after an hour or so.

    5th - Conclusion
    It's a shell of what appears to be a beautiful world design, when in reality it is the most generic game of the year so far with a lot of story that doesn't mean anything and gameplay that will turn your brain into a vegetable. I gave it a 2 for effort and for just existing.    … Expand

    I've been playing for about 100 hours now and I honestly don't think I'm going to continue. Honestly a pretty major letdown after so much relentless pushing of the game from many content creators.

Honestly a pretty major letdown after so much relentless pushing of the game from many content creators.

    The combat starts out good, it's very flashy and meaty-feeling, but it begins to get repetitive after a bit and unlike many other MMOs it takes a very long time to get new skills, which ends up making your character feel stagnant in terms of power.

    The races suck. Each class being locked to a single race is honestly garbage. Want to be a Mage? Well, you HAVE to be a female elf so you can play as a Sorceress then, tough if you wanted to play as any other race or as a male character. And if you thought the World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV character creators were limited, they look like PSO2 next to Lost Ark's customization.

    The story is a joke. It's not even good for a laugh, it's the most soulless basic fantasy storytelling I've ever seen in anything. Before the game EVEN STARTS you're given a backstory where your character has already killed tons of important enemies presented as a slideshow. The fact that I've heard people compare this game's story to RPGs like Final Fantasy XIV or The Witcher is ludicrous.

    I will say the game LOOKS very nice though, if you're into a game for just the graphics this is probably the best MMO on the market visually currently. There are a few graphical bugs though, mainly to do with hair (longer hairstyles clip a LOT with armor too), and some of the running animations are almost comedically bad.

    The endgame is also, from what I've seen of it, incredibly grind-y. Maybe that's your thing. But personally I think I'm going to pass. If you're a casual player MMOs like FFXIV or PSO2 are probably worth your time more.    … Expand

    Constant server issues, hour long queues and random disconnects.
    Honestly feels like a disguised mobile cashgrab.
    Buggy and poorly translated text and UI.
    "The fun part" starts at level 50 but getting there is incredibly tedious.
    Endgame starts with info-dumps about many, many overly convoluted systems.
    Cherry on top is the aggressive pay-to-win cash shop.

    Edit : My opinion on the game stands, but Amazon Games is one of the worst gaming companies ever.

    I think this will go down in history as one of the best games of all times, at least in its genre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. С открытия игра была великолепна. Хорошая графика, интересный сюжет. Но сейчас это просто трата времени. PVP просто не сбалансировано, персонажи сильно отличаются по урону. Сами игроки испортили игру. Те, кто уже имеет всё, завышают цены на товары в аукционе. В итоге новичку очень трудно как-то собрать себе хорошего персонажа, но фишка в том, что без хорошего персонажа тебя не будут брать в рейды. Даже если ты знаешь все механики босса, но у тебя нет полного сета, или плохо с гравировками, или самоцветов нет, или колоды нет, тебя не возьмут! А возьмут собранного человека, который так же не мог зайти в рейд и покупал проходки. В итоге человек не знает, что вообще делать и его берут с собранным персонажем, а тебя нет, потому что ты не собрал персонажа. И можно конечно покупать проходки этих рейдов и забыть про этот факт, но это же RPG, где совместная игра? В проходках? Пока ты чай пьёшь, а кто-то за тебя побеждает босса? Ещё игра очень зависима от твинов, ведь от них весь основной заработок ресурсов и голды. И по моему, это ужасно! В общем: старички ставят цены как хотят, а точнее высокую (есть гравировки 4-го уровня по 5к голды, их надо 20. И ГДЕ брать новичку 100к голды только на одну граву? Это несколько месяцев фарма без твинов... Ещё вторая гравировка и бижутерия в основном покупается, потому что рандом здесь искусственно занижен ненужными гравировками. Так же проводки покупаются, ибо без собранного персонажа тебя просто не возьмут. Старички играют на куче твинов, тем самым делают проводки и фармят ещё больше голды, чтобы купить дорогую вещь у такого же старичка, это по мне уже никуда не лезет. В итоге: игру крайне не советую, если у вас нет 7 друзей, готовых пойти с вами в игру надолго, с ними и будете проходить активности.… Expand

    Disgusting P2W game of the worst kind. Think Diablo Immoral.

    Has multiple layers of P2W elements designed to force you to pay up, or else you cannot even access the end-game contents.

    Only other option is to grind on 6 characters like it's your 2nd job. Oh wait, no, like it's your only job.

    It's a good game with horrible P2W systems. Pretty much what you would expect from every MMO these days. If you want to RMT or P2W through the store, this game can be really fun. If you want to be a F2P player like I was, you are too late and you will always be behind. Go try a newly released MMO instead.

    Interesting character classes, enticing atmosphere, visual attractiveness, satisfying combat – Lost Ark hit the mark on everything one expects from a good action RPG. I could feel my character’s power from the very first step in this interesting, varied world, and saw potential for one of the best Diablo’s cousins in years. It’s a pity that the MMO aspects of Lost Ark forced some compromises and simply get in the way of enjoying the satisfying Diablo-esque side.

    Lost Ark is literally great enough to re-ignite my passion for MMORPGs after 15 years. That’s not a joke, and it’s not something that I’m just saying for the sake of this review. Because of that, I don’t know that I should be reviewing this game so much as I should be thanking it. I’m incredibly happy to have finally found an MMO that I can look forward to playing every day, and, if you’re willing to take my word at all, I think you’ll find that you’ll end up the same way once you sit down with this game for yourself.
