très bon jeu MAIS POURQUOI AVOIR ENLEVER LA LANGUE FRANCAISE ??
I would not recommend this game to new players. The game revolves around a horrible gear upgrade mechanic, has a massive botting problem that has all but killed the in game economy, the community (especially revolving around raids) was extremely toxic, and imo the raids are very poorly designed. Some people seem to like the raids, so this was my experience: I started playing this game when it first came out, and chose gunlance as my main. Gunlance is a slower, tankier class that (how I built it) revolves around shields, counters, and stuns (it also had a taunt). So not a dps build, but a tank build. I enjoyed the combat mechanics quite a bit, and was keeping up with content as it was released. But as I started playing the raids, I ran into a massive reoccurring issue. The main raids, the ones that are the only way to get required upgrade mats, all punish you for getting hit regardless if you actually took damage or not. So now my slow character that has like 3 skills that use shields or gives shields to allies.... is completely useless. Its ultimate ability is literally gaining a massive shield and becoming cc immune in exchange for a significant speed reduction. I could die in raids without taking a single point in damage, because I utilized my shields to tank damage instead of dodging. Oh also, the boss completely ignores taunts. So now the character that I put all of my time and resources into is effectively useless in major raids, which means I no longer to to progress in the game. Also, the matchmaking system sucked and would constantly pair you with bots, people that were afk, and people that refused to communicate in raids that required everyone to do the right mechs or you would party wipe. If you tried to find a team in party search and didn't have titles showing that you had beat the boss, the only parties that would let you in were bottom of the barrel teams that had no idea how to play the game. I once spent 8 hours with multiple different parties trying to beat a boss, and still didn't beat it.

This game is close to perfect. The visuals, the sound effects, the combat are essentially unmatched in my opinion. But that is the problem, I can't find another game that satisfies those same criteria like this one does, but the ways this game falls short are egregious. The aggressive pay to win structure and slow progression without paying is unfortunate. I would gladly pay a monthly subscription if they removed the pay to win aspects. If they had different servers that were pay to look cool, or pay a monthly sub to play and they got rid of the pay to win features.... I WOULD NEVER PLAY ANOTHER GAME AGAIN PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE A GAME EXACTLY LIKE THIS BUT WITHOUT P2W. i need an alternative of this game that is ethical and not pay to win haha
never got to play cus so called greed was so bad someone hacked my account a year or 2 ago just to play this game to cheat or hack and got vac banned
sad p2w
Pay to win crap
♥♥♥♥ game
Genuinely the most heartbreaking gaming story I've ever experienced, this was the best game of this genre I've ever played and the launch experience was so good that all my 300 hrs of playtime were played during the first month of release. I find myself coming back to the store page to see if they change the atrocious upgrading system or at least make it possible to play with only one character but I don't see it happening anymore.
1. FULL ANGRY REVIEW (maximum pissed off) Lost Ark is one of the most fun ARPG/MMO hybrids I’ve ever touched, and it drives me insane that I can’t fully enjoy it because the devs refuse to fix one of the dumbest design choices still left in the game: gender‑locked classes. The combat is incredible, the world is gorgeous, and the rogue-style classes are easily the coolest in the entire roster—fast, flashy, stylish, everything I want. But guess what? They’re all locked behind female characters. Why? Why in 2026 am I still being told what gender I have to play just because I want to use a certain weapon or play a certain fantasy? It’s ridiculous. Every time I get excited about a new class reveal, I already know the punchline: “Oh, it’s female‑only. Again.” I want to play Lost Ark. I want to enjoy the game. But it’s hard to stay invested when the devs keep ignoring one of the biggest complaints from the community. Let me play the damn class I want without forcing me into a character I don’t want. It’s not complicated.
si quieres jugar algo free 2 play este no es el juego para ti, te deja descargarlo sin pagar ni un centavo eso si es cierto, pero de eso a que te acepten en un grupo hay un muro que solo se pasa si le metes dinero. todos en ese juego son toxicos a morir, 1 hora buscando grupo para pasar el raid en 5 minutos lo cual no vale la pena si me lo preguntas, las exigencias en los requisitos base para entrar en la raid no lo son todo y teniendo solo el requerido de la raid the asegura estar todo el dia buscando grupo y no encontrarlo. y las nuevas raids piden una cantidad abismal de poder de combate que de nuevo, solo llegaras si le metiste dinero. de lo contrario cuando salga el raid no podrás jugarla porque te falta poder y cuando ya lo consigas ya estaran pidiendo que tengas el titulo de haberlo limpiado 10 veces, y de ahi solo te queda resignarte y jugar las mas viejas hasta que salga la próxima raid nueva y los estándares para la que no podías jugar ya hallan bajado. hay mejores formas de perder el tiempo y este eso solo eso, una perdida de tiempo. No hará falta el que lo defienda, pero se los digo, mejor no se dejen llevar de ellos, los unicos que duran en este juego son o masoquistas que los prende el rechazo masivo que recibiran por ser nuevos o ludópatas extremos, si ven alguien que supuestamente es nuevo, lo mas probable es que sea la cuenta numero 3000 de algún enfermito que juega 24/7 al juego, pero un juegador nuevo dura en este juego a lo maximo 2 semanas y luego desisntala
