SG is shooting down bus lobbies in KR

SG is shooting down bus lobbies in KR

the new Belgardin raid has been out in KR for a few weeks now and people are trying to get the special relic title with the three swords icon "Caller of Death", which requires players to complete the Nightmare difficulty missions tied to the raid. (for context, players get the legendary Croche title and lobby background by completing 5/6 missions and the relic title by completing all 6)

with that said, bus lobbies for the raid to complete the missions have out right overtaken regular lobbies in party finder to the point that SG stepped in and started nuking lobbies in party finder that has "bus" in the lobby title (sound familiar?).

as a result, bussers have resorted to making their lobby titles be a bit more creative, like shown here, where the lobby title says "taking people to the dominican republic to see columBUS on a tour" or even here, where the lobby title says "7 man taxi driver deathless run with the fee paid inside"

overnight, inven has "exploded" into a flurry of posts and comments in said posts about whether or not bussing should be allowed at all. and given that inven is a bit like this subreddit, there are many opinionated people voicing their "concerns"

some of the posts below:

So... no fix or punishment for paradise exploiters?

Same people as always top 10. People with 15M power already. People with low power somehow in top 10. People with multiple characters in top 10.

Paradise is just a joke isn't it?

First Intention Wardancer Brel Nightmare Clear

Might as well add to it, adding some FI WD representation.

I was starting to get fried so this isn't exactly a clean run, way too much incap farming, but overall I'm still happy with it.

Client Side Asset Mods

I've been working on a tool, initially as a Lost Ark asset viewer/export but eventually became a full on modding tool allowing for essentially total replacement of assets. I made a post about this recently but took it down as there was a chance SG could take notice, now I don't really care though I've had enough of this trash game. I may release this as a public repo, it's pretty much as feature complete as it probably can get.

But for all who are interested, the game is essentially an open book. I am able to modify and replace any textures and mesh (for the mesh the original skeleton must be kept, anything else is fair game). So far I've modified textures and meshes for some player outfits on Female Warrior and Female Martial Artist classes and some NPCs such as Echidna and Brelshaza (mostly limited to proportion edits for meshes as I don't know how to 3D model). I'm surprised no similar tools have come to light in the past few years, or maybe some have but have kept it close to their chest. Have had modified UPKs installed for several weeks with no ban.

Either way, hope you all enjoy Brelshaza Nightmare prog. Maybe I might release a gooner Brelshaza UPK to help ease the pain. F U Smilegate.

These designers were insanely good.

It's been years since I've played Lost Ark, but it is hands down one of the best designed game I've ever played especially in the realm of top down games. I wanted to google to find some images showcasing the different areas, and literally nothing. For example, I wanted to find some pictures of Moko island, and i got like.. 2. (in google images)

Bruh, these artists were fucking phenomenal for this game, the diversity and unique islands. WOW. Maybe it's a niche appreciation as a lover of 2D/2.5D games... But this game was so well designed that I .. Whatever. Maybe the p2w and bots ruined appreciation for the game. I am almost tempted to download it just to take screen shots lol.

"if they wouldn't had been greedy then the game would still be alive"

I see top comments here often that are along the lines of "if they wouldn't had been greedy then it would still be alive" which makes me feel weird, because if SG had to do it again, then everyone involved with money would do exactly the same thing again.

Even with player base halving every 6 months and game being now on life support, the amount of money they made from whales and giga whales is beyond what a game with 5x population or 10x longer life span would have made.

And because of that I am not expecting the formula to change for future updates, iterations or clones either. The "greed" is staying and speculating otherwise will just stay as "just speculations" for the near term future.

I've really enjoyed this subreddit these past few days.

Thanks to everyone uploading their VODs I love watching gameplay of the new Brell extreme and seeing more interaction with the players. Keep it up! <3 And if you want to upload your VODs, go right ahead!

Another thing I've noticed is that the doomers don't know what to say anymore to trash the game it's simply cinema.
