A series of delays from the AGS/SG side and a streak of good luck on the honing process allowed me to finally catch up with NM Valtan on release. Being a bard, I am able to Lost Ark Gold  organize a gathering quickly and we walked into. Valsartan washed every inch of the arena by our bodies for hours . But eventually, we were able to get it cleaned. It felt good. Then Vykas came around and this time I was 1460. This time we got wiped more brutally than Valtan. A mistake at Gate 1 often meant wipe because it was more savage that normal. We spent 4 hours at Gate 1 and 3 hours at Gate 2. Gate 2. and 13 hours spread over 3 days to finally make it through Gate 3 on the first week. When we finally beat Vykas, most of us feel more elated than content. Most of us are feeling the same. This week , our team was a bit more sloppy on Gate 1 and Gate 2 but we got through Gate 3 flawlessly. I'm pretty sure I'm able to consider myself an expert in Gate 3 by now haha.

But life and responsibility eventually got the better of me. Tomorrow I'll go back to the office all day long and my time playing will be significantly reduced. I'm sure I'll still be able to play when I get the chance, and I'm hoping that I'll be ready for the show when it is released. I would like to say thank you to NA West and Rohendel players for creating the Lost Ark experience a memorable one. The past 5 months have been my most memorable of recent years of quarantines as well as covid. I hope you guys can continue on and find the last Lost Ark.
People gotta stop with this ignorant regurgitation of Reddit post talking points, you're basically going to bat for AGS/money river when NA/EU clearly does not mean much to them other than a cash grab.

QOL patches are required to be in the game from the very beginning and the majority all of the "free" mats they provided us were prior to Cheapest Lost Ark Gold giving us the deadzone fix they left out in The Lost Ark game to milk whales to Argos.
