Unacceptable!

Endgame is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... 12 bahamut runs (today) no weapon drop and when they drop its rng between 19 diffrent class drops. You could get your last awakening weapon after 1 kill or not even have it after 100h farming the boss.
Terrible design.
Also getting double class sigils is also a huge gamba which I am not a fan of... make stuff grindable (even long grinds are ok) and not achieveable through a gacha system...

Everything up to that point (besides damage cap which makes build diversity kinda obsolete) is pretty good. Difficulty is still too easy... the game should start with proud diffculty level.

a big ♥♥♥♥ YOU to FS for using predatory systems like: a hourly rotating weapon shop with random appearing weapons (some take 50+ hours to appear with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ rolled stats or perks), no/minimal crafting systems at (early access)launch, retarded rotation of map pools combined with difficulty and modifiers (sometimes it takes hours until you can play a map with the modifiers you want and on the difficulty you like) ... and the icing on the cake: a cashshop with more skins prepared then hordes appear on a damnation high intensity map.

I guess it is really time to change my hobby and go away from gaming (after 30 years of no-lifing it)... every new game is such a huge disappointment.

MERRY XMAS EVERYONE!

if you like having 1-5 hacker every lobby... go for it.

What a dumpster fire Lost Ark eu launch is.... on top of 20k+ queues (queues start to pop up at 12 am) also instanced content ist a mess to get into cause servers are overloaded as ♥♥♥♥. I have never seen such a bad mmo launch. Stay away until AGS can handle the mass of eu gamers... on the other hand NA has no queues at all and no server/matchmaking issues (copium?). Oh, also something to mention: to reach "endgame" (t3) you have to go through 2 cycles of 40% rng enhancing... either you're lucky and hit t3 fast or you loop endlessy in lower tiers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
IT IS WHAT IT IS -> STAY AWAY AND ENJOY THE GAME AT A LATER POINT IN TIME.

There are currently TWO guns that dont suffer massively from bloom: pp and svk. So everyone uses one of those or a sniper rifle. Nearly every map is filled with WIDE OPEN FLAT AREAS where infantry tries to hit each other getting drive by killed by vehicles or helicopters. If you enjoy long walks, this game is made for you... spawning in and running for ages to reach a point and then get shot by either a camping infantry or a vehicle is the most fun EVER.
Only consistency from previous titles is the low tick rate of the servers and the bad netcode.
I really dont know what 3 diffrent studios worked on for 3 years... everything is filled with bugs and the UI is as bad as never been before.

Login screen simulator... at least we got vip and streamer only early release (to PUMP THE HYPE or whatever?)... now, 7 hours after launch, I am sitting here staring at a login screen that wont let me login to the game in a p2p (?) lobby based game in 2021.
We experienced massive lagspikes, fps-stuttering, non skipable cutscenes, alot of bugs like one person respawns as "invisible" person that cant use skills or cant move and alot of unreal engine crash2desktops.
Paying 60€ for being the first wave of QA testers is just sad but common practice.

I have no more words for this.

if you clear this, you are prepared for any mmo healing.

Communication Error 83-MW1

edit: 10 days and still dc heaven...

trash game... getting closed alpha and beta tested with "INFLUENCERS" only and after going into EA with 15k peak players not even able to deliver stable server connections, no team balance, no refilling teams, xp is not counting visually...
At least they got lootcrates from the start.
