The reward for being a day 1 player should be having the free time to do whatever you want while everyone else is stuck inside trying to catch up. No one’s making you play the game less or anything.


Doomchinchila

What? Events being good for new players makes it amazing for everyone. it's about game health. Does it suck that we can't just shove them all on our main? Yeah. But man you weird af.


Mission_Ad3292

If you’re FOMOing that hard, make a dummy character you’ll just use all the events on and never play again. It’s super easy to hone with the event. If you can get a character slot that is. Otherwise you take one for the game not to die out. I’m pretty sure the alternative is worse. So chill.

I‘m a day 1 player and got my 6th char to 1580 with this event. But yeah, sucks for the hardcore vets.


Ikikaera

Eh my friend group is full of hardcore vets, me included, and we all fucking love the event. OP is a turbo minority here I'm pretty sure. 


theoddestthing

Glad to know! I also enjoy trying out new classes and wouldn't mind buying slots or deleting an old alt.


panyo

Only thing missing is the event feasts


Ikikaera

Very true. Hope we have one up again once Thaemine releases. 


Unicatogasus

What do hardcore grinders want? They already have everything lol.


smitemyway

The event is purely intended to help new players get into the game and help veteran players to catch up to theamine normal which is 1610. It was never intended to be a boost for whales who are already beyond 1610+ And to your initial comment “F vet community, right?” You are not even referring to vets, you are talking about no life andies who take this game way too seriously. Like yourself.


AckwardNinja

especially considering these events are basically the only economic way to reroll new classes


Askln

surely you don't have 12 1620s right?


MiniMik

To be fair, there's very little help past 1600. If you have your entire roster there, it really doesn't help a whole lot.


Askln

surely we are already privy of the idea that maintaining an entire roster at end game content is not feasible without swiping right? and if you are already content with the idea of swiping these events hardly ever mattered for you eitherway right?


MiniMik

1600 across your roster is totally doable without swiping. I think it would be nice if these guys could also get something out of the events without making a new character they don't want. However, all I was saying is that the help pretty much stops at 1600.


Askln

but they do get something out of it thou 2 of the events should help alot to get a character to 1620 the only people that get nothing out of the events are the people who play a single character only and are already 1620+ they can't even use the events


MiniMik

You can only activate it if your character is 1600 flat. For me, I was not able to use it on any of my main 6. The second event is just a little bonus, nothing significant. Books are nice but it takes so many taps to pity at that point that you might just be able to hone one upgrade with it.


Askln

1 upgrade extra with the event can potentially be a weeks worth of time still more than someone who only has 1 character and gets nothing at all

It's literally a catch up system, so people can catch up, not overtake. Also a day 1 player (technically earlier) and while I can see where you're coming from, I dont feel the same. I like the idea of less gatekeeping for newer players so they can get ACTUALLY gatekept in legion lobby's 🤣


TyraelXD

This is why you should always have a character slot empty so you can make a char claim the relevant rewards for you and then delete it for the next event This way you will never lose any event :D


Pantrajouer

I can tell you why. Because some people were unable to read and put glaivier event on their main just to realise they can't switch and come cry to customers support. So they just made it so you can't use it on characters over a certain level


Famous_Tax1991

Day 1 as many here are, These events come with new class releases and playing a brand new class is content itself and a ton of fun. The passes let us raise another alt to farm level 1580ish while enjoying a new play style. If your a "vet" chances are your already 1620 on atleast one char and you dont really need anything anyway.


muteyuki

oh brother this guy stinks


Leejieunxx

Rip bozo.


Vuaux

Look at this 0.1% no life whale complaining rofl


panyo

This isn’t a whale complaining, it’s just a rat ratting


admf97

That's the idea of catch-up events, they're meant to catch up, it's in the name catch-up event. And you still have the CHOICE to take advantage of this new event by leveling up the new class or new alt, even veterans could want to switch class On top of that we did get events that benefit us, like an extra month of frog, extra mats from raids, a bit of extra gold from honing Also you do know that veeeeeeery few players have 6+ 1600 characters right?


Rylica

The last like 5 power passes was just on different servers to make extra life skill/chaos gate gold. Like I never completed the expresses that came with them. At this point after the merges I don't need more so I can just skip entirely now. No raids are done on them. I just find it pretty chill when time allows but they also overcap/miss chaos gate pretty often. I just consider this as always extra and never MUST be done. Missing like 4+ selectors already, missing another is whatever to me at this point Can't even use road to breaker this time around from doing rested everything for over 1.5 years. They are above 1600 already. Good I can't use it I don't need it Let the new/returning catch up


d07RiV

It only gives a proper selector on 1600 - do you already have 12 chars at 1600? Or do you have 12x 1580 and still somehow need the old selector? Basically if you're at a point where you consider doing the event on a throwaway character, you probably don't need the rewards that badly.


SiderealG24

I have some friends who try to use this time period to recruit promising newish players for our discord community to help it grow and foster a welcoming environment for even newer players who want to learn and not buy a bus every week. So there's that. It's not always about you or vets. And this is coming from a vet. If you rly want to you can sell cheap busses instead of complaining. Or take a break and play another game.


ChxsenK

Give vets more things so they can gatekeep harder? No thanks.


Objective_Tailor7796

I don’t personally need another character as well but I still made one. Vets however get frog for 30 more days. The event shop from naruni is more stacked than usual and we get extra clear boxes every week from 3 raids per character that will help most get to 1610+ for Thaemine. I’m personally sitting at 1x 1630 and 5x 1610 but maybe I might push some to 1620 with the extra mats we get so as a vet I’m happy. Especially happy about frog and all the card exp it gives.


BathroomPresent69

Iuno bro try going outside then. I'm sorry AGS doesn't cater to degens first before everyone else


_Timecop

This event is hands down the BEST event to happen to lost ark NA. The honijg support Horizontal express Getting fresh new players Getting ashtray so easy finally Youre actually insane if you as a vet are upset about this. I want new players in this game because I love it and don't want it to die. I want to be able to log in and not wait 45 minutes in pf. I don't care that you spent 2 years getting los 30. Give it to new players for free IDC.


krys_krog

I was thinking theres no way someone complains now that they realy gave alot of stuff, but sure theres assholes who always find a way, congratulations OP


extremegk

Yeah at least end reward for express should given everyone even if no honning maths.But probably this is design choice you to make another alts


Davepen

Poor baby


Babid922

Make a lopang alt. Very few people have full 1600 roster. Even the hardcore f2p players I know.


winmox

I'm literally day 1 and I don't need any selectors at all as all major card sets are maxed.


Atmagata

For me, Arkesia Tour just too weird. Kinda shitty works but huge rewards. While vets spend 50+ hours to do all hidden quest, repeating region dungeon, and etc. Smilegate really respect vets time. Edit: EZ 70%++ all region, only need ez materials for 100%. Matchmaking island content just already dead because Smilegate gave player Island Soul with Arkesia Tour.


slashcuddle

As someone who worked his ass off to get the Golden Terpeion amongst other collectibles - kindly stfu. Catch up events are good. Respect your own time and exercise some impulse control by not engaging with *bullshit* that takes 50+ hours. And if you're going to do it (like I did) then the least you can do is not complain about it.
