Over 1.3 million players frolicked for the release ofOn Steam to explore the world of action mos. But after the enormously successful publication, the number of players quickly went downhill.
Today only a fraction of the numbers at that time is reached and the Steam ratings are also falling on a descent. The developers now want to counteract with big changes.
What should change?
The plan for Lost Ark was originally announced in a Korean live stream, buton steamThe developers also summarize their plans for the western community. Above all, it's aboutPlayers and players make progress in the game easierand reduce grind. Especially at the beginning of the game, it is very slow and resource -intensive.
Weapons and armor
The upgrading of equipment such as weapons and armor is significantly reduced with the April update. More precisely, it's about sharpening (honing) and transcendence (transcendence)
- Advanced sharpening:The shards, silver and gold costs are reduced by 20 percent. Material costs are also halved.
- Armor transcendence:The gold costs for residualization and purification were significantly reduced
- Weapon transcendence:The gold costs for residualization and purification were significantly reduced
Jewel
According to the developers, the jewel system currently limits the character progress and the flexibility of the play styles. Smilegate has not yet found a final solution to this problem: the developer studio is currently only familiar with working on a solution.
Class balance
While some balance changes in the classes have already been made in the Korean version of Lost Ark, they are still long in the western version. As Smilegate announces, there is still no precise plan, but the balance adjustments should appear with the April update.
T3 Deadzone
Between the equipment levels 1580 and 1620, many players find it difficult to improve their equipment. This weak point should be approached soon - but there is no precise plan here. In the meantime, builds are supported, which are particularly affected.
For players who enjoy the Lost Ark in German, however, there is bad news in the Steam update: Because the German and French version of the game are hardly used, the support of the two languages is stopped in May. From then on, dialogues and texts will only be available in English.
