Game itself is already really good. A mixture of Day Z, Project Zomboid and Tarkov.

First-Person-Only Mode and Multiplayer would make this game insanely good imo.

Can't do anything wrong for this price, try it out!

Our group was really hyped for this game, we started with around 10 people. I was the last one playing to this point, everyone dropped the game off.

It started really good, Lost Ark was not a classic MMO and it reminded me of Diablo, but had more depth to it.
The servers were hardcore overloaded and the only reason I was able to play was because I was either in homeoffice to log in early enough or was able to remotely start the game. I assume most people did it like this.

The reason for this? Unimaginable amounts of bots, they allowed that situation for way too long. It went like this for over a month, people were furious.

We had this bot problem kinda solved, even though there are still a lot of bots walking around, but the biggest problem is this:

I got to gearscore 1405, I wanted to push 1415, but I realized something. A lot of "real players" are using Chaos Dungeon farming tools, basically a script/bot which runs infinite chaos dungeons for you. That is the reason I dropped this game, even real players are starting to bot around, controlling the market and outpacing everyone else.

The moment you get into lategame (Tier3) the progress gets a lot slower, everything just feels insanely slow. You need to organize yourself well, which daily to do, rapports and getting adventureres tomes and so on. At some point it felt more like "working" than "playing". I don't really want to play a game where I need 2 months of farming to reach my goals, then some goofyhead with a bot comes around and gets to that point after 2 days, I think everyone gets the point.

And yes, this game is pay2win, you can literally buy gold from the item shop for €/$. Many people don't want to accept this sad truth.
