Tier 4 is Here! - The Most Important Updates in Season 3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adding a new currency to craft the new nerfed version of legendary elixir instead of just nerfing legendary elixir to make our saved up elixirs useless is really nasty by SGS.

[angelcrespocabrales]

How stupid is it that solo raids don't drop sidereal energy? hahahahahahahaha anyway, no one drops that, don't fuck with me, yes, I've been playing since day 1 and I've never seen that

[JeyJ]

As someone who teeters between casual and hardcore, solo raids are good for me. I will double my weekly gold.

[ZTooRealGamingZ]

The amount of current players that run 18 raids a week complaining that an easy learning raid gives less gold is crazy. If you're talking about "issues managing my 6 man roster with this little gold income" clearly the solo raids aren't for you. New players that are afraid to raid or get gatekept by other players were getting NO GOLD.

They're not even competing with us so they don't have to worry about keeping up for fomo. If you want 100 percent gold to manage your 6 1620s you're prepping for T4 then do normal raids. If you're feeling lazy and weren't gunna raid anyways or are new do solo raids.

[nayber]

I hope they add flex raids to the solo raid system. I am duoing with another new player, and we can't play real raids because we get gatekept, but we can't play solo together. Sucks

[BlazinBro]

Do you plan on making a video on Striker's T4 ark passives?

[fgmxd]

Even though the effects on T4 accessories are not weighted, which is a good thing, unlike bracelets they cost gold to roll. I'm not sure how I should feel about it. I know you just buy the accessories but I'd assume those would be expensive, especially those with high quality.

[barosia]

There is no good reason for solo raids to give less gold, if they were worried about rice farmers going ham on 10 accounts they could simply make the gold bound so that it never impacts the market.

No one is going to be soloing their raids because it won't be generating enough gold to sustain your main, let alone an entire roster, then they'll just say "hey look guys, we tried but seems like people want to play group content in LoA and not solo!" as if they hadn't designed it to fail

The transition to the ark passive system is incredibly awkward, it makes no sense for you to lose power going into the new system, same with the T3 lv10 gem transfer, the whole thing is so stupid

I wanted to be optimistic but 90% of these decisions make no sense

[BuffPomsky]

Lol theyre cool but not amazing. Why only provide 50% of NORMAL gold? Very hard for those who are new or not even 1600. Sad that solo raids is only meant to lead to the gatekeeping group content. Also idk y they have the llvl threshold. What if i dont have time and just wanna do a quick vykas or valtan for quick cheap gold?

Additionally, more rng gold sinks, no elixir changes, ark passive and 1 time chaos are only in t4 really, and etc. Cool patch but overall loss imo

[chriso]

I absolutely hate the accessories. I hate having to spend gold to see if its junk. It's not even close to as good as the current system or bracelets.. because you didn't have to spend gold for potential junk(unless you're buying bracers from people)

[karai]

@MisoxShiru Bro enough with the copium...the solo raids update is TERRIBLE for new players, I will go even as far as neglecting the part untill 1580 and will talk only about 1580+...
1) On average it takes 654k gold to go from 1580->1620 JUST for the tapping costs (no mats included no orehas), why don't you try and calculate how many MONTHS of running a solo raid that gives HALF as much as normal raid that would take???
2) the 1620 cutoff creates a clear distinction between new players and existing players, segregation galore!, no more need to gatekeep them because now you wont even see them! huzzah!
3) lets assume by some miracle you stuck around and got to 1620 and now you are 1640 with no cards, no trans, no 40 elixir - welcome to T4 gatekeeping hell (good luck finding a group for a daily guardian raid).

[akaJosephK]

50% is so unfair imo because its not our fault to have bots, its devs fault in the beginning. The rewards should be around %75 of the total.No more no less.

[dreadedronin]

solo raids should just give max gold. no-one want to have to sit through PF for 18 raids per week just to progress at a reasonable pace. plus these raids are 50% of normal mode gold not hard so its even worst.

[seraphpaladin]

Lost Ark is such a beautiful mmo, probably the best for me, it has a few flaws compare to others. Its not designed to lose but to win as far as the difficulty. The solo mode is the addition i was looking forward and i am so happy that i will practice every mechanic and still get the rewards (i dont care about sidereal to be honest) but for mounts, skins etc so NO MORE BUSSES!!!! and i will be able to farm gold without selling gems and orecha fusion materials!!
Is it true that they will give a 1600 pass? My main is 1610 Paladin and i would love to delete my bard to make a Soul Eater with the pass!

[angelcrespocabrales]

They didn't do anything with the elixir, how are you going to tell me that they put another elixir in hard mode when we can't do hard mode since we don't have 40 elixir wtf these people have serious problems

[oosik]

100% roster bound gold would have been a smarter play imo

[omkargundla]

having low gold for solo raid eventually reduce solo mode because bussing would be more viable than solo since busses for early raids are samee you get half of gold so why wasting time in solo if you can bus? this is the issue with game is. It should be atleast 80% gold for solo 60% is not even worth to go solo at all.
