Heya! Not really a question, just a hello from someone else who plays LoA and has absolutely no one else to discuss it with. This game is so good and so beautiful, why is LoA community so small T_T

I've been playing since launch - I love the game, but it is very time-consuming 🥲 so a lot of ppl come and go, myself included! I'm glad you're here and enjoying the game though 😁

Back in my Lost Ark era, with an updated roster music video :D making these is so much fun, and although my editing skills could never do my girlies justice, I tried my best to feature each of them. Enjoy!

Y'all are still playing Lost Ark but what about watching the ANIME instead? (ʘ ʖ̯ ʘ) Jk, just made these fake animu screencaps a while ago and I wish I could make more but there's just so much to draw aaaaaah (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

With subs for the real feels ™

Also can I just say that Kharmine's voice actor, Alejandro Saab, has been KILLING it as Kharmine? He gives just the right amount of mocking and menacing, it's SO good.

If anyone needs me, I'll be playing through the entire korean version of lost ark just to experience the quest coming in August

Spoilers ahead!

I'm just saying, if it comes between choosing to unite the arks to stop Kazeros, and saving Armen (who I'm like 99% sure is the key/Lost Ark)... welcome back Kazeros.

But I'm genuinely curious as to how they'll wrap up Armens story, it's been a long time coming - and the west has only had the game for a little over a year x_X

Also, Morpheus is back?? I didn't expect them to maintain that kind of story continuity, but it's a nice surprise. Morpheus and Armen were the first two characters we met in the game, on the ship to Trua. Now both of them will be there at the end of this chapter -very much a full-circle moment.

The grip that this character has on me is, quite frankly, ridiculous.

Spoilers for Elgacia! 

I need to cry about the translation change, 모험기님 is a polite way of saying “adventurer”, but they changed it to “old friend”, which just hit me right in the damn heart. Armen wasn’t in this quest too much, but it’s setting up Pleccia WHICH if we’re lucky, should be released early fall. There’s no field boss, chaos dungeon, or endgame content tied with the continent so I’m HOPING we get it pretty soon. 

-it was VERY interesting to see the Lazeniths grapple with their absolute faith in Regulus, and their loved ones being smote with the Light’s Judgment. 

There were so many standout moments for me, in no particular order: 

-I really liked Nineveh showing us around. Seeing her house was a very sweet moment, and all in all her character really shone in this quest. 

-Lauriel was a compelling antagonist and I while I didn’t necessarily feel bad for him, he sacrificed himself to try and steer his people towards the one future where they aren’t killed. And he’s never going to see it :( 

-this quest reminded me how dark Lost Ark can go. Diogenes being imprisoned in agony for 500 years, Lazeniths watching their loved ones being killed in front of them, and Nineveh struggling with being told she abandoned the people she was supposed to protect. 

-and the CUTSCENES my GOD. The Kayangel one, the one where Beatrice opens Trixion, and Vairgrys’ cutscene were so good. I read somewhere that this was Gold River’s (the creator of Lost Ark and very beloved by the Korean community) vision for the end of this chapter, and one of the last things he did before taking a step back to focus on his health. 

I could go on, but this post is getting long- I shall keep yelling, and I’d love to hear what other people thought!

[materialki77-blog]

I have so many thoughts 😐 but I'm going to play it through again on another character to get the full gist. My main thought boils down to, the story has definitely moved into a new chapter, they HEAVILY hinted to something, but there's still a ton that hadn't been cleared up.

[materialki77-blog]

I finally got around to logging back into tumblr after my phone broke, and I am READY FOR ELGACIA BABY

[gogopierogi]

The latest story update on the Korean Lost Ark servers, the one featuring Pletze, came with a daily quest you needed to repeat for a 100 days to complete. Finishing it rewards you with a cutscene featuring Armen.

Spoilers behind the cut! 

Keep reading

Happy 1 Year to Lost Ark. Highlights from playing this game since launch include: 

-not knowing about engravings and using a bunch of books on the Mayhem one, even though I play deathblade 

-thinking that we were going to see Armen pretty soon after he left us on Lostwind Cliff because he’s such an important character so he’ll come back soon right?

-publishing my first ever fic on AO3! And people liked it! And it gave me the warmest of fuzzies! 

-yelling at Kharmine for re-making Velcruze after spending hours trying to break it 

-lailai

-and for the first time, interacting with ppl on Tumblr, which also gave me the warm fuzzies because as someone who doesn’t really have friends who are into a lot of the stuff that I am, it felt great to yell abt Lost Ark stuff with other people 

And, finally: 

- getting the achievement “I’m Dying, sis” from the Vykas raid 

Pls add on with any good memories u got if you want!

Legit about to cry over a lost ark quest

(Spoiler): I-202 sends for your help, you come to help it and realize its friend B-0031 is not working. You do a kill quest to find parts for B-0031. And once you put them in I-202 gets excited, then opens its chest panel for you to take out the engine in I-202 to put inside B-0031. I didn't want to do it but I had to, to complete the quest. Once you do it, B-0031 starts working again. I-202 shows how happy it is before it collapses on the ground... and that's the end of the quest.

I absolutely adore this damn picture.

It's one of their few pictures that isn't doctored or taken for formal reasons. I just love how it feels like a silly goofy family picture.

Plus Bond being in the center is just perfection.
