Sinful

This was also posted yesterday. They lifted it, and locked again. But they aren't just letting it stay locked. An Additional Update to Character Creation Limits We will be carefully lifting character creation limits on servers to allow new players to join servers that they may not have been able to previously. However, we are closely monitoring server populations and queue times, so these character creation limits may return as queues begin to grow. Please be aware that the list of servers with account limits may change frequently, and that you will have to relaunch your client in order to access a server with a newly lifted cap. While we are still aiming to keep wait times low, we hope this helps some players join their friends on more servers.

Update: Looks like Thirain

There are servers, but we don't know names yet afaik. As soon as we do we'll designate one.

I'm having a surprising amount of fun, with the downside of wishing this game would release way sooner

Reddit has a lot of give aways as well, and now the twitch drops should be active if anyone is looking. Feels like a really solid ARPG. Won't overplay the beta, but try some classes and get a feel for it.

Can grab beta keys here: https://www.mmorpg.com/giveaways/lost-ark-closed-beta-key-giveaway-2000001022 (It will run out, but 8k left atm). And if not they will give beta keys as twitch drops as soon as the beta starts. Just watch 30 mins of a couple selected streamers and key is guaranteed. This is more of a open beta than anything else, so you WILL get in, if you want to 7k left now (10:30 CET)

Signed up, thanks!

It's on game pass, so if anyone wants to check it out a bit cheaper that's the way I found it quite so-so. It was pretty, but the base building was very basic and the single thing that made me just uninstall was the frequent natural disasters which tend to damage you're entire f*cking base so you either need to place repair turrets E V E R Y W H E R E or use a single target repair 500 times. Fuck any dev that thinks that's a fun mechanic. But to each their own

Played it couple hours, realized I had not magically become better at shooters and still feel like everyone else is using aimbots (they're not, I'm just horrible) so I uninstalled. Not enough interest to put the time in to become anything more than cannon fodder Besides my complete lack of skill it seemed pretty ok though. The map was really big, didn't help that stuff like opening the map while you're spawned wasn't a thing (not sure if this is a beta thing or a feature), so I had a hard time knowing where I was supposed to go when we capped a point or alike. Was pretty chaotic with little to no teamplay, so some classes felt lackluster. Also had a hard time telling friends from foes, sure when I aim at them the blue dot shows up (sometimes the blue dot was always there, sometimes not) but I found it annoying that uniforms were so similar. Other than that it was pretty and areas felt pretty varied even within the map.

I bought the almost exact same thing, actually JUST built it yesterday 5900X, 32GB Ram, 1Tb M2, RTX 3080. As you might notice there's no GPU in yet, that's coming today. But the computer lit up when i flashed the BIOS yesterday So I can't say much for performance yet. It does feel silly to pay overprice for the GPU, I paid 1280€ for mine. Fully aware people who bought it a year ago probably spent... 60% of what I paid or so? But I don't see GPU prices dropping anytime soon, and with the shortage I can't imagine waiting for black friday will help the slightest. So I just bit the bullet, I've been waiting too long. In Sweden there's still cards to be had. Or rather, one needs to be quick and keep an eye open on forums etc for drops, because 3080's are flying of the shelves, but I got mine within a day or two. 1280€ might sound alot, but from what's available and prices right now it could have been alot worse. Oh well, I'm old and not poor, I can manage

Done, gave you officer!

Yeah, I can do that because I built the dry dock I'm pretty sure. Installing now and I'll see if I can promote!

I uninstalled it a while ago (but will 99% return at some point, so more of a temporary thing 😛 ) but not even sure I got the rank to promote. Can you check who you'd need?

Such disappointment 😔 j/k, thanks for the write up, Nexi! And yes, it's been out in both Asia and Russia quite a while afaik, maybe more places? I mean if it's only $25 this seems like a solid buy. No idea how it will hold up endgame etc, but if it's a good, fun experience until max lvl and a bit beyond that's more than fair for the price and if it turns out to have longevity it's a bonus!

Have not received an invite yet. Nexi promised me I would get one. Much disappointment.
