Tuvo que salir Gold River a salvar el Lost Ark:

Spark Notes:
- Talked about each of the stuff that people felt was censored but wasn't censored or if it was censored they will undo it.
- Talked about how the development of each structure is done. Explained how they allocated resources from the KR version to support other regions, which led to the model issue on the KR issue recently.
- Talked about the contents that were delayed and why they got delayed (in regards to Thaemine which got delayed to September and Primal Island which came out two weeks later than expected).
- Promised they will not re-allocate region-specific team members to work on other regions to prevent these specific issues from happening again.
- Confirmed he's not returning as director, nor is he going to focus on the CN version.
- He said that they will look for a new director because the game needs it. Previously the existing team wasn't able to agree on a specific individual who could fill the role. He made a promise that they will find a new director by the end of this year, and until they find one, he will be taking over the role of communicating with players.
- They want to change Chaos Dungeon and Guardian Raid. They want Chaos Dungeon to be even more casual and quick and Guardian Raids to be somewhere between that and weekly raiding content. They said they will be doing temporary adjustments to Chaos Dungeon to make it faster (e.g. mobs spawning and moving to you quicker) until they fully revamp it.
- They want to review vertical progression in Lost Ark in general. He mentioned they would like to add other avenues of progression aside from Legion Raids.
- They want to change Hell Guardians to be non-equalized. As equalized contents they apparently aren't appealing so they want to make Hell Guardians some intermediate between high end Hell raids and non-equalized contents.
- They want to recycle old favorite contents and find a way to make old bosses relevant in currently play. They mentioned that recycling the raids requires significantly less resources (e.g. modeling, animations) so bringing back old bosses can be a fun way to re-experience them.
- They will be using Mokoko less in marketing/events because they feel like Mokoko is making the game's atmosphere not serious and too whimsical. They will try to make events in the future more world-appropriate to the actual game world instead of so kiddish.
- They said 3rd Awakening needs more time in the oven, so nothing to really note here.
- They want to make adjustments to sets in general to make gearing up and building characters more interesting again. This is a follow-up to the comments they made previously about using the same set effects for multiple gear sets in a row. He noted Entropy especially in this comment.
- He mentioned that they will probably make adjustments to the 6 character reward lockout system. They're going to internally discuss what makes sense to do with this and then return to the players with 'hard data' (things like graphs and stuff) with their proposal.
- He briefly talked about male Scrapper and kinda just hyped it up. Some weirdos on the Korean community thought that they committed to male Scrapper because of the Chinese server for some reason so he affirmed that wasn't the case.
- They're going to make outfits more frequently. This was a big demand from Korean playerbase. They felt like they were barely making any outfits for the cash shop.
- He said that they didn't re-use any animations or assets for Souleater. But for the animations that players thought were too similar to existing classes that players saw in the trailer, they will adjust them to make them look more unique before she launches.
- He talked about the Hot Deal controversy in Korea. He apologized for the one players hated, and said they'd make it up with one that players would actually like in July.
- He said his health condition has improved a lot, though he's been stressing out lately in the last 10 days due to all the issues the game recently faced.
- Reiterated that Kazeros isn't a Legion Raid, so players should expect a different kind of raiding encounter from what they're used to. Said he couldn't elaborate further on that or else he'd get in trouble.
- Mentioned they're currently working on a patch on G6 Brelshaza to make it so that you don't have to stop DPS because of the golden meteor. Previously, they noted that moving forward, they will be careful with all raid designs so that pause DPS won't be a problem.
- Mentioned that the story will get increasingly more interesting for lore enjoyers.
- Said they aren't going to work on a class change system, but internally they're brainstorming on something that's similar. He didn't elaborate further on that.

----------------------------

- Regarding the Anikka contreversy
 - Historical issue where the three-legged crow (traditional Korean symbology) was used in the Anikka continent (Chinese-inspired zone, this area is called Anihc in the KR server, which is China backwards)
 - They will remove the symbol since it has significant historical meaning in the relationship between China and Korea
 - As an FYI, this symbol has been in the game for 5 years now, but only recently people in KR noticed due to all the  drama and contreversy and they're only making an issue of it now

- Regarding the actual structure of development of the three regions
 - Tries to explain how there are separate teams for each region
 - Explained how specifically the CN region, there were issues when working on their specific localizations (challenges? related to development, communication, unsure) so it took much more time and resources comparatively

- About content
 - Thaemine's G2/G4 ended up having development problems so he's saying that's why it was delayed to September
 - Reinforcing the idea that the CN server is not why Thaemine was delayed (community skepticism)
 - Primal Island was delayed by a couple of weeks due to internal development issues (related to balancing), so it released later than expected (it's currently in the game now for a while)

- Note to chat: The censorship thing is like the biggest controversy in the game at the moment, enough that it made it onto major news outlets in Korea... (like, normie people TV)
 - It's of course, related to topics or themes that the CCP considers to censor in China (e.g. the color red, concepts of religion)

- He's currently going through different things that people are calling censored and explaining each of them
 - First was talking about Kazeros' Red Moon not looking very red
 - Second was removal of cross symbology in various parts of the game, he just explained how some of the NPCs have the cross stuff on different parts of their uniform - they still have crosses apparently just need to check other side of them I guess
 - Third is Jibawaki (the bat guardian that comes after Magugalac, originally it was a red concept, but recently it was shown as purple, so people thought this was related to CN censorship)
 - wtf how does the right one look less generic than the left one it's just a recolored bat
 - Fourth is about Souleater's outfit being less booba in the most recent reveal (original concept was booba, most recent showing is full-body leotard)
 - The arts were just based off of the two variations of the launching skins apparently (okay you get a pass on this one)
 - Then was summer outfits, regarding one of the outfits apparently being censored but he explained that all that booba wouldn't comply with CN censorship anyways so it was kinda moot
 - The next subject is regarding mob models getting swapped out to the CN-censored versions
 - They more or less admitted to incompetence by splitting responsibilities in an already small team

- Note to chat: So far everything is reasonable enough and obvious enough except for the Jibawaki thing (that was the dumbest thing I've heard all day)

- He said moving forward they won't allocate team members that work on specific regions to other regions (as previously, they were supporting other regions development, which is how the model controversy occurred)

- Next topic is regarding the vacancy of the director position since he left over 1 year ago (you've got my interest now)
 - He confirmed he is not returning, even though people thought so
 - He also confirmed he is not pulling a Bing Chilling John Cena and moving to CN service
 - He mentioned that he chose to not appear in front of players as much as possible since he deferred the leadership role to the 3 bozos, so he wanted players to look to them moving forward instead of thinking he might return later on
 - Regurgitated literally what I've already been saying about how 3 bozos can't be a leader, only good at what they were already doing beforehand
 - But they could not find someone capable of filling his shoes, either the 3 bozos couldn't agree on someone or Smilegate couldn't agree on someone
 - Remember: barring what you've seen from the 3 bozos, they were responsible for the best parts of the game. As in, they're good developers (listening to instructions for direction), but that's where it ends
 - They will increase their efforts to actually find a proper director for the game. He made a promise they will find one by the 5th anniversary (that is end of this year).
 - Until they find a new director, Gold River is re-assuming command of communications between Smilegate and the playerbase (thank fucking god)

- Note to chat: Health-wise he does look much better. It doesn't look like they're hiding shit with make-up. I wouldn't worry too much about his health.

- Chaos Dungeon & Guardian Raid Homeworks
 - Intent to change these contents so that Chaos Dungeon is casual solo content and Guardian Raid is somewhere between that and Legion Raid, but no elaboration and just that they're thinking about ideas here
 - Considering before they said they wouldn't change jack shit, it's a step in the right direction, but god knows how long it'll take for them to actually implement anything in regards to this. We'll be playing Riot MMO by then (try not to miss the joke).

- Vertical Progression
 - They want to change how vertical progression works in the game.
 - He feels Lost Ark needs vertical progression but it shouldn't be confined to just Legion Raids.

- Considering Hell Guardians (specifically Guardians) to be non-equalized contents.

- Finding a way to make old encounters relevant (variations) since it's easier to do resource-wise. I don't mind this, some of the earlier fights were enjoyable. If they can make them different enough.

- They feel like they've overused and overmarketed Mokoko in general (e.g. all the events and contents related to Mokoko)
 - Has to do with how people feel like Mokoko make the game feel silly and 'at peace' because of the Mokoko, kind of killing the world vibe they were going for
 - They'll try to make more events that are more world-immersive and interesting (idea for example of making the game lighting different from the Red Moon, stuff like that)

- Stated that it's going to take a long time before people feel like Thaemine is on 'farm status'.
 - This isn't far-fetched, it took a few months before Brelshaza felt like she was 'on farm' before all the nerfs.

- 3rd Awakening
 - Needs more time in the oven.

- Regarding Sets in General
 - Looking to make changes, acknowledge that they want to make adjustments to Entropy (specifically mentioned)

- 6 character raid lockout
 - Was previously necessary, before that there was no lockout so people were playing 24 characters of raids in most extreme cases
 - They're looking into potentially adjust this as well, but they need to talk about it more internally. It will be brought up again, and he mentioned he'll bring hard-data on this matter (graphs?)

- Scrapper (lol)
 - People think they are sticking with Male Scrapper as the next gender unlock because of China (wtf?)
 - Hyping up male Scrapper

- Release frequency of new outfits
 - They'll go back to making more outfits more frequently (KR people really love their outfits, let us throw money at you Smilegate - is the vibe)

- Some people were mad about Souleater because they felt like some resources/motions were being re-used from existing classes
 - They said that nothing was re-used, but they will adjust the ones that look similar to other classes to satisfy those people

- The Hot Deal thing
 - He acknowledged that the last Hot Deal was shit by player standards
 - He's promising a better one in July that players will actually like

- He mentioned his health condition is a lot better but in the last 10 days he feels like it got worse because of all the controversies and issues (he laughed while saying this)

- Mentioned Kazeros
 - Mentioned it's not a Legion Raid, so people should expect the encounter to be a little different than what we're currently used to

- Working on the DPS stop issue in G6 Brelshaza currently
 - They will implement a change that makes it so you don't have to stop DPSing for the gold meteor
 - Note: in the previous livestream, they mentioned that they will be careful in all future encounters will keep this in mind so that players don't have to stop DPS

- Mentioned that the story will get more interesting, so lore enjoyers can look forward to it (tl;dr more Lore Ark episodes when I'm not lazy)

- Mentioned that he doesn't think there will be a class change but they're looking into doing something that might be similar?
 - This is too vague so let your speculation run wild I guess.

- More promises that the CN version isn't affecting development of the other regions

- They will make temporary adjustments to Chaos Dungeon to make it faster to get through it on a daily basis until they actually revamp Chaos Dungeon in its entirety (as a band-aid).

#12170 Pues TJDS.

Se que te suda los huevos todo el foro y realmente serás el troll mas grande que he visto en un foro. xD No tiene ni puto sentido que juegues a algo para lo que solo tienes quejas y ha cada poco deseas que cierre el juego. No he visto un solo comentario tuyo ayudando a nadie ni haciendo nada productivo solo jodiendo a la gente, llorando y criticado el juego. Creo que tienes un problema de ludopatía grabe simplemente eres jilipollas, lo que prefieras.

#12171 Hablado de lo de cerrar el juego... Estamos ya un poquito más cerca...

Va, que esta ya casi. Juraria que al BDO no juega con el cliente de steam ni el 20% de los jugadores. Asi que vaya telita.

Si te parece, despues de comerme pitty tras pitty, mientras veo como streamers en 3 taps suben varias armas al +20, voy a desear que el juego triunfe. Cuando el esfuerzo que he necesitado en subir 2 armas al +20, a otros literalmente les ha costado 20k, hace que te replantees muchas cosas.

4 intentos de gema al 10 de daño, 4!!!. Ni una sola puta gema de daño. Que le den por el culo.

Solo tengo una carta al LOS30 full max. Pues bien, me ha salido ya 7 veces.

Lo que decia, el puto juego se rie de mi. Literalmente si algo ha podido salirme mal el este juego me ha salido.

Respetar mi tiempo, los cojones. Estoy deseando que el juege baje a los 20-10k players y pueda dejar un juego que ha hecho cero por hacer que siga jugando. Jamás habia tenido tan mala suerte en el honning en un juego como en este, ahora, hace 3 meses y en el principio del juego. Seguia engañandome a mi mismo diciendo que ya me lo recompensaria. Sigo esperando esa recompensa...
