    Liars! because opening a EUW server block does not help as it seems. Add more servers, do something about it instead of saying stuff but not fixing sht.

    Only for the 3 day head start the cheapest package.

    The problem is LA is made for a single country region, this version had to have coverage on several continents Smilegate developed the option for regions allowing to get past the problematic internal pings, etc (that the game wasn't designed with it in mind), but they end up having to be isolated from each other.

    The downsides then kick in, server transfer can come but it won't cover cross region that is specific to our version. They don't seem to be able to add more servers to the same region either as it clearly overwhelmed the global services (that work across all servers) and caused issues from the queues to the marketplace, dcs, massive lags, etc. Pretty much they ran into the limits the game has attm.

    Amazon did a horrid calculation in the beginning. Now they should just offer better awards for rerolling since there is no transfer option. Their current rewards on the new server is just horrible. Like I would dump 5 level 50 toons one almost top raid gear ready for a daily dose of invisibility potion. Give me extra power pass and a tier 1 gear reward, then I would move on. 

    PS. got two from powerpass so I have leveled only 3.
    PSS. I started leveling on the new realm up to 35 or something but the rest of my mates dragged me back as they are too lazy.

    This game needs WAY MORE mounts and skins in the cash shop. The offerings in the cash shop right now are not great.

    I just wish they figure out what's causing the micro stutters and the not so micro ones. They happen way too often for a lot (most?) players judging by the posts on the official forums. They happen to me.

    This x100.

    Seems like they're not making the most of the momentum they have currently.

    It could also be that they've used most of their resources in other places to stabilize gameplay which would be a testament of their desire to improve quality rather than sell stuff so /shrugs.

    Actually, my dad owns both Smilegate and Amazon, so definitely can tell you they are listening.

    This sucks for everyone involved.  There's a series botting issue according to a lot of posts in the Lost Ark Reddit and the forums.  People are posting endless series of auto-scripted groups of PCs logging in in groups and auto leveling in these long ant trails.

    So far, I'm actually enjoying this game.

    Hmm, I've not even opened the cash shop, despite having 7K to spend from my pack.

    In fact, I haven't opened many of the chests from the pack or earned in game, just shove them into inventory to deal with later.

    Seeing I've already got 3 mounts not seeing a need for another yet..just cracked level 40 and getting ready to try my hand at sailing.

    Most of the mounts are shitty looking IMO , and they really need to add Weapon skins .. tired of lugging the Transmission from a 68 Cadillac around on my back ..

    Meh, the black horse was nice, same for blue cerebus, the streamer hoverboard is goofy, same for in game turtle.

    Did see a pretty sweet Pegasus someone was riding, but those Stay Puff marshmello Pokemon monstrosities can DIAF.

    That pegasus mount is free. I got it a few days ago in the mail as a "celebration" (I think) bundle. Check your mail or chests you might have just stored without looking at them.

    I was one of those who started over at EUW after 70-80h on EU Central and everything has been running 100% smoothly. No queues nor matchmaking issues. There should probably been a more justified reward for starting over in a new region, but hey, was a few days of irritation, but all good now.
  • LinifLinif Member UncommonPosts: 340
    Give me a way to have my new character on EUW drop in at 600 ilvl and I'll gladly move. I'm just not willing to go through 302 to 600 again, Amazon.

    LOL! You wish. We are talking about the "Easy mode, handle everything on a silver platter" generation players here.

    Elden Ring is way over their little heads. Way too difficult for them to handle. They will rage quit within the first hour, two hours tops!

    From Software games are very specific niche. They are popular sure, but still a niche in the grand scheme of things.

    I wanted to play / test this game, but cant due to region block (anti-gamble laws) Somehow I do feel protected instead of violated.
  • kreakrea Member UncommonPosts: 237
    Did move to eu west myself on first day and game is fine now , no queus /no lag and i got all my founders stuff so all fine for me . Think the only option is or to stick it out till queus will get less in few weeks or just move to the new servers .
