I did enjoy it when I played before, but it became too time intensive that I couldn't play anything else if I wanted to keep my characters topped off. Recommended only if it's your only game.

Where do I even begin with this game. As a player that's been playing since launch I've been through the up and downs, the low lows and the high highs. From the whole Argos fiasco to the Brel fallout to the sudden AGS resurgence, I've been there. Do I recommend the game. Absolutely yes. I feel like the combat and raids in this game are pretty unmatched across the genre. If you are into fast-paced, high skill ceiling game play, where you can constantly see improvement in your play, its a great game. Now, I wouldn't call myself a hardcore player nor would I call myself a casual, but I am a veteran in this game. From my POV, the games great. I have people to play the latest and greatest content with and have a decent enough roster to get by through the current progression systems. For a new player though, I can see the struggles of what someone would go through. The constant gate keeping, toxicity, and reliance on DPS meter all make the game a pretty terrible experience for new players that want to play the latest raids. Not to mention the grueling recent progression systems that, albeit seeing some improvement, are still terrible for new players to get through. That's not to say the game is all bad for new players. There's a few pieces of advice I can give to new players: First, Instead of trying to join people's parties, creating learning parties is something that not too many people do, but goes a long way to progressing through a raid. I recommend this to all new players. There will always be those too timid to create their own parties, so create one and see how many people are looking to learn. Who knows, it could be the start of some new friendships. Second, take the game at your own pace. Its been out for 2 years, you are not catching up to day 1 veterans. I'm not saying this out of spite, its just the way the game is designed. Just take it slow and have fun. Third, I recommend checking out some starter guides on YouTube or some community websites such as Lost Ark Nexus, that can give you a good place to learn more about the game, classes, where to start, etc. If anyone reading this has more tips, feel free to comment so new players can see. I also want to add that as of 10/9/24 new ignite servers are coming to the game which heavily emphasize the new player experience and would be the perfect place for someone new to start. Well that's about it for my stream of consciousness. Hope I got my point across decently well. I really enjoy the game, and would love for some new people to experience what I have experienced the past couple years. Thanks! TLDR; Game is fun, Combat is unmatched. New player experience can be terrible, but the experience is based on what you are doing as a new player to get yourself out there. Also ignite servers very good

Good game if you don't have fomo and find some chill people to play with. Best combat in the market. Very nice punishing raids. Very grindy. Daily/weekly heavy.

The community for this game is so bad that they've altered most of the content so you can play alone. If you want to keep up with current content, grinding will become a full-time job. If you just want a free game with amazing combat and don't mind lagging behind, this game is great. There's a solid roster of fun classes to play and raids are very well crafted. Honestly, the story isn't half bad either. Definitely worth a try with all the new updates but don't expect a social experience.

Solo Raids have finally made this game worth recommending to other people. I have almost 3000 hours played in this game. Lost Ark easily has one of the best combat systems in any top-down RPG that's out there. It also has boss design that rivals other MMOs like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14. But one of the biggest problems the game suffered with since released was the gatekeeping that exists in the Party Finder for raids. It was almost impossible for new players to get accepted into groups in order to experience the main appeal of this game, which is raiding. This is why even though I absolutely love this game, I never recommended it to other people because I knew it would be a miserable experience for any new player. One week ago, Lost Ark introduced Solo Raids into the game. This mode introduced an option that allows the majority of boss fights in the game to no longer require a group to enter, and is tuned to be achievable with a single player. In my option, this mode has saved the game. Solo Raids are almost identical to the group version of these raids, and they all provide an actual challenge when done at the appropriate Gear Level. I strongly recommend giving Lost Ark a try if you are a person that loves MMO raid content and are interested in the challenge of taking on epic boss fights on your own.
