After nearly three years on the market,Lost Arkis finally transitioning into its fourth tier this week, marking one of, if not the biggest, releases for the free-to-play MMORPG. This brings incredible changes that hopefully will get players interested in trudging through some of the repetitive designs once more, as it looks to help stave away numerous issues it had in the past. While you’ll still be doing upwards of eighteen raids a week, and doing your chaos dungeons and guardians as daily adventurers to hone your character, there will be brand-new systems put into place to help alleviate some of the stress.
While we’re excited about the aspect of reworking our engravings and moving into a whole new tier, one aspect Amazon needs to do is attract new and returning players. This is something the game has struggled with in the past, despite Amazon’s best efforts with ventures such as the Jump Start Servers. It looks like the publisher is continuing this practice by greatly improving the formula and adding incredible value for new and existing players alike.
Lost Ark Sees Huge Changes, Tier 4 in Near Future
Lost Ark will be reworked in a significant way to feel fresh for existing players.
Getting to Endgame
Amazon hasannounced their plansfor the Ignite Servers that will go live on October 9. These servers are put into place to excel the player straight to the endgame, granting them a full roster for significantly reduced effort. When we say significantly reduced, we don’t mean they just give you a couple of buffs and call it a day, but they are handing out gold and materials like candy, not to mention reducing the cost it takes to hone:
Item Level 1540 – 1580
Item Level 1580 – 1620
Changes to Raids and Rewards
The Ignite Servers will also receive their very own event missions and event shop to help players obtain these materials quickly. The difficulty of raids will also be reduced, as Hard modes will not be available for Brelshaza, Akkan, Thaemine, Kayangel or Ivory Tower, but instead be reduced to Normal and Solo modes.
…the publisher is continuing this practice by greatly improving the formula and adding incredible value for new and existing players alike.
To ensure players have enough power to even tackle some of these raids, characters will be granted various rewards as they hit certain thresholds in the express event, giving them full armor sets upon reaching 1580, Deep Dive & You Have a Plan card sets, 40 set of Elixirs (Luck set) and even level 3 transcendence on all armor pieces when hitting higher levels.
Transferring Off the Ignite Servers
On top of that, when the Ignite Servers are eventually decommissioned, players will be able to transfer their characters to one of the many currently populated servers. Doing so will grant them incredible rewards, something that will entice not only new players, but veteran players as well. Depending on when they transfer off the Ignite Servers, they’ll be granted different and tiered rewards:
Item Level 1600 Transfer Gift
Item Level 1610 Transfer Gift
Item Level 1620 Transfer Gift
Lost Ark is available on PC, with the Tier 4 update and Ignite Servers hitting October 9.
