So is the only PvP in this 3v3? hmmm, pretty lame.

It's 3v3 or free for all or 1v1 where the looser is replaced by someone else.

There's also PvP islands where anything goes.

Ah. Pvp Islands. Now that sounds interesting. Will give it another try

they really need to increase server capacity.. im not a person who can game for too long, i normally play a couple of hours then have an hour or 2 break and come back
but with this game by the time i want to come back i would need to sit in a queue that can last an hour or more

other than that im enjoying it so far

Give it a few weeks. Once the hype has died down it shouldn't be too difficult to log on when you want. It's always the same with MMOs these days. I'll be very surprised if Lost Ark bucks that trend and keeps 1 million+ players in the EU zone over a sustained period.

Amazon will be splitting EU similar to NA East and West.

Without transfers, which is a big issue.

According to a GM post it's something they will work with Smilegate on, but I wouldn't expect to see it anytime soon. https://forums.playlostark.com/t/free-transfer-for-all/114039/3

exactly, nobody is going to want to start over if they have progressed a lot and claimed any twitch drops etc

Just hit 50, now to figure out what the hell to do....

Im going to re-roll to a EU West server (prolly Moonkeep as I like the sound of that). Only got upto Level 29 on Nineveh. So no biggy for me.

Signed up for Moonkeep and got straight on.

Lustral · 17 Feb 2022 at 17:22

Im assuming you are on the Central Europe server when you last played. You need to manual edit the config file to point you to the EU West Server. See below

a) go to the server selection screen and switch to EU West (if you already are logged in)
b) open the file: Lost Ark\EFGame\Config*UserOption.xml*
this file is (for me) located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Lost Ark\EFGame\Config\UserOption.xml
just locate your game folder via steam and go to folder EFGame → Config → open the File with an editor.

in there scroll down to the bottom. There you find:

2022-02-17 17_56_17-Window766×287 8.22 KB

It will state CE for you. You want to change it to WE for West Europe

save the file, start the game.

Still haven't managed a single minute of gameplay yet, so thought I'd try your suggestion. I can't even get to the server selection screen.

31ms ping from Moonkeep to N Ireland. That’ll do nicely.

Lustral · 17 Feb 2022 at 18:05

I’m assuming now EU West is getting hammered. Don’t give up

Darujhistan · 17 Feb 2022 at 18:54

Transferred over to Moonkeep. It is pretty much all ENG speaking.

Ping 16ms.
