Never really thought it would be for you. What does surprise me is you're not at least getting some joy from the Adventure Tome. Perhaps I don't know your tastes as well as I think, but I did feel like that part of the game would tickle your inner explorer at least.<br /><br />I'm similarly surprised by your opinion that the world lacks opportunities for interaction. It may not be quite as rich as something like GW2, but Lost Ark's world definitely feels more rich than many other MMOs I could name. There's Mokoko seeds, specialty dishes/ingredients, hidden stories, secret areas, world bosses, rare spawns... There's so much more to do in each zone than just quests.Tyler Edwardshttps://superior-realities.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-33337261468371027832022-02-22T09:20:52.677+00:002022-02-22T09:20:52.677+00:00As of last night I'm in the mid-20s and just i...As of last night I'm in the mid-20s and just into some zone beginning with Z. I did the sunken city instance and then a bit more. I've not only done every side quest available so far, I also explored every map on the first two (three?) continents and opend all the teleports. It seems as though almost all side quests ar gated by either progress in the MSQ or level, not sure which, because apart from a couple here and there I wasn't offered anything in any of the later zones. I did get the Sudden quests, though.<br /><br />I have finally been forced to pay a small amount of attention to the actual combat skills in some of the instanced content, although button mashing still gets most thngs done. If I said I hated the mindless zerg mobs, I hate the Kill Me Eight Times bosses a thousanfd times more. Who ever thought that was a good mechanic? Just give the damn things all the hit points and one bar, for god's sake!<br /><br />Anyway, probably should save that for another post, not a comment reply. I am going to get that boat, though. Sunk cost and all that...Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-23372288911540797652022-02-21T23:05:32.620+00:002022-02-21T23:05:32.620+00:00The level you get your boat will vary somewhat dep...The level you get your boat will vary somewhat depending on how much of the side content you do. For myself, it was Stronghold around level 30 and boat around level 41ish. <br /><br />From your experience so far -- in particular if the combat is showing no sign of engaging you whatsoever, I think it'd be difficult to justify the time investment required even that far.<br /><br />I was wondering whether the skill points starting to open up more tripod options might make the combat a little better for you, but if you're around the attack on Prideholm section I think that's still at least a little ways off before you can get even to your first Lv 7 skill / 2nd tier tripod.<br /><br />As with many ARPGs though, those tripods (or Runes in D3, or whatever else mechanics the game in question may have) can in some cases quite significantly affect how a skill plays.<br /><br />One other thing I'll note though, I took upon a challenge to grab some screenshots of Lost Ark not in cutscenes (or even Vistas) to (hopefully!) show how the game can look. The only concession I've made for these challenge shots is to turn the UI off. Probably have that post out soon. :)Naithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830174305806727004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-56231151440424109032022-02-21T18:56:00.445+00:002022-02-21T18:56:00.445+00:00That was a complaint a friend of mine had about so...That was a complaint a friend of mine had about some of the clothing choices in WoW Classic. If you wanted to go with a vixen look, fine, but she wanted the option to not go that route. And too many MMOs just don't do that. I guess you could point to the destructive influence of certain personnel at Blizz for WoW/WoW Classic's issues, but not every dev team had to do that. I mean, TERA (and a lot of other Korean MMO-esque games) makes WoW look like a prude by comparison.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-76210459050772683482022-02-21T17:54:25.398+00:002022-02-21T17:54:25.398+00:00That's my target, too.

Every new piece of gear I've equipped so far has looked pretty much exactly the same, other than one that was a different color and I did get a choice of hats. I don't really care if other people want to go around looking like you describe so long as I get other options, which so far I haven't.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-25937476698339446902022-02-21T17:07:01.901+00:002022-02-21T17:07:01.901+00:00The thing I've observed in the Lost Ark posts ...The thing I've observed in the Lost Ark posts that you and others have provided is that the graphics remind me of those in cheap hentai/dating sims, and that leaves an uncomfortable taste in my mouth.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-42441729316836534502022-02-21T16:46:01.282+00:002022-02-21T16:46:01.282+00:00I found out that you get a boat at level 35, so I ...I found out that you get a boat at level 35, so I am going to stick around until I at least find out what that is about.Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.com
