LOST ARKS MASSIVE UPDATE SHOWS US WHERE TO PARK OUR ALTS BUT MAKES HARDMODE FOR WHALES ONLY?

Today we're going over one of the latest Lost Ark

update

s and how we're going to make the most of it in NA and EU, hopefully at least soon because it also came with a pretty

massive

class balance patch and I want to work my way through it just like that great man is doing it right there and as always I have to thank you all for all the love on the last video, you guys are absolute legends and if you need any of the stuff I'm going to do it. To talk about them, they'll all be linked in the description so while you're down there you know what to do and just remember my name is Clay Statics and we're running into it and don't forget to like it. video, it's the

only

way YouTube knows it exists and turning this on in our favorite patch notes, I've seen a lot of simple things and a lot of ways to deal with it, but here we don't manage and we always try to make the most of it, even if it's the most bathed red pill patch I've ever seen in a game because the new raid releases with normal at 1580 and hardwood at 1600 but

only

less than two percent of the player base can do hard mode, now I know what what are you doing. thinking and I'm also thinking that they tried a little bit on an amazing man.

I don't know what happened there. I put on my awesome hat and all I saw was money, as you can see they did a really good job at the old think tank. at Smile Gate HQ to put this into perspective for Na and EU, if they did this to us, literally Thanos would just break the player base again, just like our weapons did, rewards people who spend money over people who invest time because no player In fact, you can get to the point of being able to scam on hard mode. If they're casual, you have to play like six or more characters a week, which isn't realistic or fun for anyone and no, I don't want to. do 24 chaos dungeons every day, no one does it and when you look at the clown, which we will have very soon, the Korean players say to make sure you are 15 or more item levels above him because he is very difficult, so when we look at the bare minimum for a hard mode and it's 1600, it doesn't bode well and we were talking about it a little bit on Discord and the screenshot really says it all honestly and it really made me think and made me look a little crazy because Yes prestige in the game is supposed to be Hell mode and there is no prestige on hard mode, so the only reason to turn on hard mode so that such a small percentage of people like it is to force the fomo push which, as we've seen seen it works on that name of yours and normal mode is so easy it's not even fun to do most of the time even the old game master said he wanted all raids to be puggable so the new game masters they must have taken that and wanted it to be the only one.

The way to play hard mode early on and have fun is to level up the item and when we take a look at the new gear that offers a scam that resets upgrade rates for new materials, it gives you a much better conversion rate. the harder you make it, so it actually creates like a toxicity loop, which is crazy. I never thought I would see something like this again. We've seen it in every raid release that it's like, oh yeah, most people are 14-15 years old. or whatever for the Alton pitch and I was saying I was like man I've seen like 30 or 40 people between 14 and 15.

Next thing you know the boss comes out and everyone's pushing, it's absolutely crazy, they're just putting pressure on people. I hate spending money just to make new things and I think we're going to continually see that in this game because that seems to be the direction going forward and the Esther weapon, which is literally just a whale exclusive weapon because of how Whatever It Costs is going to be more. money to become stronger again and I don't really see the point of Ester's weapons outside of Wales feeding in-game money directly. I'll never get one because it's silly to me, but it means everyone can spend their money however they want and that's no problem, but I would like to see the item level requirement for the new raid reduced by 20 for normal mode and difficult simply because there's no prestige to them and I guess in perspective you could say there's some prestige to doing like the last few Gates of Brushaza on hard mode, like the pet or whatever, but when you look at vikas and Vault and hard mode you can't tell me that a casual player shouldn't be allowed. do that when they come out, which is what already happened in nanu right, they weren't, they weren't the item level for those things, they were actually way below, so it was a bit of a Doomer rant, but I Me I like to watch item levels drop so I don't feel like I'm being milked while the player base dries up due to poor management, which is apparently happening because I actually still enjoy the game surprisingly, uh, mostly because I play it once every three. days while we are in the waiting room for new content because the reality is that the new raid will be exciting, it will be fun to do, it will be the only thing we will care about and we really care about how We are going to get rich from it, so a lot People have been talking about all the

park

ing spots made from materials so we can abuse the

whales

' low self-control and the huge amount of fomo people get stuck in, so for the economic patch I'd like to

park

as many characters as possible 1580 for the new Guardians raid in the dungeon just to farm as many materials as possible, but for any EU, how do we benefit from the appearance of the cuckoo?

Most of our main old parking spots are in 14 15 but people already knew that so people who want to get more out of their alt or more out of the game in general, when new things come out we have to start looking towards the future to be able to use our whale friends for speed. On a daily basis, just to speed up your time, 1445 is a good gold generation and trivializes everything you can do in a day. Relic gear

makes

your character ridiculously strong compared to Argos gear, so it's really worth using just to speed up your daily routine.

And your time is more valuable than anything else, so take charge of that and that stretch

makes

a big difference. The next big parking spot will be the one at 2:90 p.m. This will give us access to the new Guardians raid, the cow goes to Magic Dragon and the chaos dungeon, which have new upgrade materials for shaza eyebrow equipment, so the more characters you have here, the more money you can milk from the beginning, so the best time to boost your characters to 1490 is when the market is full of old mats and everything comes down to a gold, especially when we look at the brush straw as a gear conversion table and see how much from a The biggest jump you get when you upgrade your gear to their gear vs rip off gear, the brel fomo is real and people spend a ton of money on it so if some release comes out like KR did and we get normal mode, the boost to 1520 This normal player will still be annoying but a little easier because we are going to have current things for a long time, this also means that parking those characters at 1490 will make you a lot of money when she actually comes out because people It's going to I need your materials to improve that equipment, it will simply be the Whale Festival we always dreamed of and then we will get Elgacia without major material changes.

You can farm the dragon or go to 1540 and farm the gorilla he has. the same maps as the dragon, so you're probably looking to just float them all to 1490 at that stage of the game and bring your average to 1580. Then with the release of ocon you'll get the new materials at 1580 with the new Guardian and the new chaos dungeons, so hitting those breakpoints early is huge because the game always rewards getting in early and, especially if you don't mind pushing for the first week or two, you'll be Giga rich and ultimately the ultimate profit. to push 1580 is a top tier Boss Rush so along with this raid

update

they are getting there will be some pretty crazy class balancing so last time they did class balancing Na and EU also got class balancing pretty quickly, so I want to review.

That's because there are some big trades I really want to get my hands on and Berserker nailed it 100% with the Burstech trade. I will talk everything in detail in the next Berserker update video, there will be a max floor for Cuckoo the Clown and it could just break the meta, it is an incredibly strong buff, the change from critical damage to outgoing damage really opened up the stacking of so many options and it just made it a lot more fun to play with bigger numbers. I want to say rest in peace with the 385 meme. critical damage build the guys built we will miss you but your update is the strongest and I can't wait to show everyone its true potential as for the warlord it has a quality pretty big life span on a tripod, you always need an extra reach uh pretty much in every skill and I don't play a warlord so I don't even know if they use this tripod so let me know if they do in the comments regarding Destroyer, don't get me started on Bonk's level, he's going through the roof and all these changes just make him even more fantastic, the New Move ability itself is incredibly clean and has decent damage too, it really does It makes getting in front of the boss a lot easier, but the main change we're seeing is with all of these abilities, they're taking away their dead tripods that no one used and they're swapping out with an increasing Gravity rating percentage and that simply means that For our non-destroyer means that for gravity training engraving you will get the Bonk even more now.

For the Awakening skill, you know, I did it better here, but in the game it will get an attack speed buff that will make it incredibly clean to use, but now one of the biggest changes and personally one of my favorites is to do training gravity, a real engraving, got

massive

upgrades and is incredibly powerful now and I think we'll see it a lot more as a meta build in the future that will really change things up, you basically become unkillable with tons of bulk. damage that comes with a ridiculous amount of awe and I couldn't be more excited.

I really hope they continue down this path of making all off-meta engravings really good because it just makes the game better as a whole, so with the four percent on the fighter. Nerf is probably still fine Soul Master again, little Nerf, nothing crazy, especially if you're doing that ultimate one-shot build with broken bone and as for Lancer, you have a small buff for at least half your kid if you play Pinnacle but now you get in artillery and I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about this and one guy had crazy DPS in that clip and then a couple more have come out so when there's a will to make something work there's one way and there are some pretty substantial improvements here and with just a quick glance, they're nothing but good stuff.

I don't play artillery slash Blaster, so again let me know what you think of these improvements if it's your main, but I've already seen it do some nasty things with the double engraving build, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what people can do with it. the single engraving builds that smogate seems to be focusing on for the future and as we can see in LOA, people have already done that. a big change to the artillery upgrade which is a bombardment upgrade in the n, a client now for Hawkeye, little boof, nothing wrong with that and the same for the scouter and I don't know what the weather machine is, But I hope I can make it rain. my garden so they can grow bigger and stronger.

Gunslinger got a small shotgun buff and some weak spot detection changes to two skills and then a five percent damage buff on Peacemaker for shotgun damage, but a 15 crit chance there, so whatever , that works. Whether it's a DPS increase or decrease we'll know soon but we know they got a flat five percent for pistols so congratulations to the firearms players and as for Summoner we saw massive improvements and I know that many people could. I don't think they really pulled it off, but that spec change alone is massive enough and just a quick scroll again, this is nothing but positive and as one of the least played classes in the game, it's great to see how it gets a buff and all the animation upgrades it got were the real win here because if you look good you're a lot stronger than anyone else around you anyway and I just watched random clips popping up of some of the new stuff and they really took it to the next level. so anyone whobe waiting Summoner will definitely be excited about it and as for the Engravings, there are a lot and I don't really want to read them all, but they are a lot of Upgrades again and it's all linked in the description.

If you really want to read it all in Deep dive, but everything is really good and will make Summoner an absolute unit and finally the Arcana Infinity shower was removed, no one used that skill anyway, but there is a new skill that I haven't used. my way of looking at it all, so it's going to be a lot of fun when we see that don't forget that if you have tripods for the old skill, you'll get a little token, you can click for tripods for the new skills. and under the new tripod system which I hope we get sooner rather than later and then there are some random changes to abilities that could make a big difference.

I'll have to try it out for myself to have my own opinion on it, but I hear that the four-of-a-kind benefit is actually pretty solid, so we'll have to wait and see what kind of numbers we get. It's nice to see them trying to make all the classes better and more fun by making the dead skills actually not terrible. and hopefully that's at least the goal for the future and on top of all that for Arcana they gave us a couple of new cards to spam and not keep track of which I really appreciate it and the big change in the engraving is that having an engraving of Level three Emperor will actually give you an extra 80 damage on the Emperor card and some of the combos you'll be able to do could end up being pretty. crazy, so it's a pretty solid balance update all around.

Berserker got that crazy engraving upgrade. Arcana Summoner and Destroyer all got crazy buffs, nice fixes for their abilities and I really can't wait to see the rest honestly and for all the real ones. Always stay until the end of the video. I've been having some computer problems over the past few weeks, but I think I finally fixed them. It was tremendously frustrating, so we should be back in full swing and I have a few things coming up. I hope you really enjoy it. I want to thank all my sponsors, thank you again for the extra support, it helps a lot and I just want to say make sure you are still beautiful, blessed and safe out there so I can see you.

In the next
