0s Hey, everyone. It's Stoopzz.
2s I just wanted to thank you all so much for watching.
4s But also I wanted to use this as an opportunity to talk about something a little bit more important.
9s And that's the sense of having a strong community in an MMORPG.
12s You know, some of my best friends have come through Lost Ark and I still think the genre of MMORPGs is the best avenue for that.
19s And I know with Lost Ark there's so much going on, there's so much to do, but there's going to be a lot of players coming back and returning to the game with all the events taking place this summer.
29s And I think spending a couple of minutes here and there helping them out can really make the world of difference for them.
35s So yeah, I hope this message finds you guys well and I hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes.
46s Coming to you from the Amazon Games Community team.
49s It's the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club!
52s With your host, straight out of the rocks box, it's Roxx!
63s Welcome to the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club.
67s This is where our contestants debate to prove they have what it takes not to be a Mokoko.
72s I'm Roxx and I'm here to make sure things stay exciting.
79s Let's start our show.
80s First up today, we have Bobajenny.
86s Welcome.
87s Next up, we have Stoopzz.
90s I'm back.
92s All right.
93s What an entrance.
94s Next up, we have Grenton.
96s And you've got a little gift there.
100s Very nice.
101s Oh.
102s Finally, we're bringing out DatModz.
110s All right, we're ready.
111s We're ready.
113s We're going to kick off our warm-up debate.
115s Remember, this is a two versus two.
117s There are no rules.
118s Yell over each other all you want.
120s The teams are as separated.
122s Bobajenny and Stoopzz, Grenton and DatModz. The teams are as separated.
122s Bobajenny and Stoopzz, Grenton and DatModz.
124s Today, we are going to be arguing which one is better: Cardinal Directions or x3.
131s You two closest to me will take x3.
134s You two will take Cardinal Directions, and I'll give everyone a minute to strategize starting...
139s now.
140s All right.
141s We got the harder one.
143s I think x3 is easier.
144s X3 is easier.
145s You can do x3 + 1.
146s Got to say, north west.
149s Today we have a very special guest.
151s Very special.
157s It's me.
157s I'm the special guest.
159s So Roxx, I think we know who you are by now.
162s What would you say you do here when you're not doing all of this?
167s Most of you know me as the Community Manager of Lost Ark.
170s That means I'm often the person interfacing with players in our channels, sharing your feedback with the team, and working to facilitate communication between players in the parts of the Lost Ark team that you don't get to see.
181s And when you're not doing all of that?
183s The rest of the time I get to do weird s$#t like this.
187s I certainly can't complain, and neither can she.
191s I.
192s We?
194s That's enough alt-existentialism for one day.
196s Now, go do your Lo-Pangs for us.
199s Fine.
203s All right.
204s Shockingly, everyone is ready early, so we're going to go right ahead.
208s Debaters, do whatever you want to do.
212s Okay.
213s Listen up here.
214s But listen up!
216s Hold on, hold on, hold on!.
217s I take it back.
217s Don't do whatever you want to do.
218s Okay.
220s North east south west makes more sense because everyone knows to go north east south west.
225s Everyone nowadays in the digital era, they don't have clocks when they look down at their new smartwatch.
233s It just says a number.
234s It's okay. It just says a number.
235s It's okay.
235s When my...
235s when my group was doing Brel, you think, Oh, you guys didn't clear Gate 6?
238s Yeah, because no one in my group knows how to read a clock.
240s They have to take a second monitor and put a clock on it.
243s That's why they didn't clear it!
243s Two things here.
244s That's why we didn't clear it - because it's x3!
245s It's garbage.
246s What if you want someone to go to a specific spot in north east?
249s Like you don't tell them...
250s Okay, listen up - I didn't finish my point!
253s I'm just saying, if you need two people to go to a specific spot.
256s If you say go, hey, go north east...
258s which one?
258s At Brel Gate 1, 1:00?
258s 2:00?
262s Also -.
262s Okay.
263s Also, who the f^$# uses north east south west?
266s Okay.
268s I know for a fact that when you do your learning groups, what do you teach them?
270s North east south west.
272s You teach them x3.
274s It's pretty simple, right?
275s So if you have a half area, you use north + 1.
279s Yeah. So if you have a half area, you use north + 1.
279s Yeah.
279s So you're like, okay, where am I going to go to?
285s There are people that are watching this video right now, you know want to teach them the wrong info.
289s Who says 1 +1?
289s Literally no one.
291s I don't know.
291s DatModz just said it.
292s Yeah, he just said it.
293s Yeah.
293s You guys got shafted on this one.
294s You guys never do south - 1?
296s That doesn't make sense.
297s To be fair, I used to do it on Argos when I first started.
300s We used to do north east south west.
301s And then after I progressed through the game, everyone said x3.
304s So I just follow everyone else.
305s So you're a sheep.
305s Well, the point of it is, is to have consistency amongst groups when you're pugging.
308s That's a bold way of saying sheep.
310s Yeah but the thing is...
311s I mean, when you do stars, what do you say?
312s I have no friends.
312s What do they use?
313s I'm a reaper player.
314s North east south west.
315s You're lying to me right now, I can see it in your eyes.
317s I've never lied in my entire life.
318s You're lying to me.
318s I think a lot of people don't know basic multiplication.
321s So it's too confusing.
323s They should know basic multiplication.
324s Why do you think they take 12 hours?
325s Because it's x3. Why do you think they take 12 hours?
326s Because it's x3.
326s You say 11:00.
327s How about this?
328s When you're doing meteor drops and you go, what do you say?
332s South - 1.
332s No, no, no, no, no.
334s You don't go north east, north east, north west!
336s You say 11, 11. You don't go north east, north east, north west!
336s You say 11, 11.
338s You tell them it's 5:00. You say 11, 11.
338s You tell them it's 5:00.
340s During lunar groups, I say go 6:00, and they run to 12:00.
344s No way.
344s They have digital clocks.
348s Huh?
350s This is ridiculous.
353s Yeah, okay, we're done, we're done.
355s That's fine.
357s All right.
358s I guess that's going to do it for our warm-up debate.
361s Do you guys feel warmed up ?
363s I feel like you all just feel angry.
365s That's good.
366s Sure.
367s All right.
367s We're gonna head to a commercial break.
369s And when we're back with that, we'll slide right into our serious debate.
373s We'll see you after this break.
410s Thank you for clapping for me.
412s Welcome back to the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club.
414s And it's time to get very, very serious.
417s We're so serious here.
418s All right.
418s Today's debate topic for you two - Grenton and DatModz: What is the easiest class to play besides Paladin?
429s I'm giving you extra time to strategize because I know that beside Paladin...
435s That was my first choice. I'm giving you extra time to strategize because I know that beside Paladin...
435s That was my first choice.
436s As per usual, one of you will have one minute to make your first argument.
440s The other one will have a minute to make an argument.
442s And then one minute for each of you to respond.
444s So as always, here's your time to strategize.
447s Figure it out.
448s Okay.
451s He's got notes already.
451s Besides Paladin, what would either of you pick besides Paladin?
456s I mean, there are a lot of choices, but you can just pick anything on DatModz' roster.
463s You're supposed to be strategizing.
465s He's crying instead.
469s Yeah I didn't expect to get burned on that.
473s What are friends for?
476s I think we can just go into it now.
477s We're ready.
478s Before DatModz starts crying.
479s You feel okay, bud? Before DatModz starts crying.
480s You feel okay, bud?
481s My feelings are hurt a little bit, but my ego will recover.
486s DatModz, I will be giving you the floor first because I feel really, really bad for you after that.
491s Okay.
492s You're welcome.
492s All right.
493s Your first minute for your argument starts now.
496s Okay.
497s So a new player starting the game, there are a few criteria that they're trying to look for.
501s One, that's a high mobility class, something that's not forgiving, something with good effective health so you don't get one-shot by everything and just die when you get in every Legion Raid and then get kicked out.
511s So that's why I think Fire Power Artillerist is one of the best new player characters.
517s It's 50/50 crit swiftness that has mobility there.
520s You have good stagger, you have good destruction, your abilities are not super...
525s well, they're really, really forgiving because if you miss some of your bombs or anything else like that, it doesn't matter.
529s The cooldown drops quick, so you just keep on dropping them.
531s You also, if you get in trouble and you think are going to knock back on like Brelshaza, you could go into your chair and now it'll make it so you don't get knocked.
538s So if you don't time stop, you just go into your chair.
540s That'll give you additional shield and stops you from getting knocked.
543s So outside of that, yeah, Fire Power Artillerist is honestly just like the perfect class for a new player.
547s You have your shields, mix all of your different mechanic checks, stagger bonuses, destruction, good mediocre damage.
555s And then when you decide that you've finally learned enough about the game - That is your one minute.
559s You go barrage!
561s Hanging on.
561s I'm hanging on.
562s Grenton, your one minute for your starting argument starts now.
566s So, yeah, you mentioned high mobility, right?
568s Forgiving class to play?
570s And good shields?
571s So a class that does it better than what you're talking about is none other than our good old friend, the Transformation Machinist.
578s Who says Machinist?
580s Not you.
580s You don't say anything.
582s This is my time.
582s This is your time.
583s Keep going.
584s So you're talking about missing skill shots, right?
586s Yeah.
586s Machinist - the cool thing about it is, once you're in your evolution form and you drop out, you retain some of your meter.
593s So you don't actually have to hit all your skills to get back into your meter.
596s Not only that, your counter is your biggest damage skill, which means no one expects you to counter.
602s Right?
602s And the class also doesn't do any damage.
604s No one's expecting you to do damage, so you can just enjoy yourself.
607s Get on the class, have fun, transform, look cool, shoot lasers, and that's it.
611s It's super easy to play.
613s You don't have to think about, Oh, well what if this happens?
615s Or what if that happens?
616s Because you have a big juicy shield when you're in that when you're in that transformation mode, unlike Artillerist, where, Oh, I'm going to get knocked, I got to get into my my little wheelchair or, oh, I got to do this, I got to shoot this laser and then - going barrage?
629s Let's be honest, you don't really got to focus on doing damage.
632s We're talking about easy classes to play here.
634s It doesn't get easier than our good old friend, the Machinist.
636s All right, Grenton, that was your minute. DatModz, you have one minute to respond.
641s Yeah, I think you're...
642s I think you're right about Machinist.
643s It is the easiest class to play, because when you go to apply for groups, you're not going to get in any.
649s And you can easily throw in double sphere, absorption, and run Lo-Pang really, really quickly.
655s And then one of ...
655s also your arguments?
656s You said, Oh, it's forgiving if you..
658s once you come out of your shield mode it's easy to restore.
661s However, it's also kind of squishy and if you deplete that shield because you don't know the encounters, let's say you're on Clown and you hit by some smashes, some debuffs, that shields' depleted and then you have to go through more drone skills to rebuild your meter.
672s Also, when you go into your scouter form, every single, basically, every single ability has a movement associated to it.
681s So you have to know when a boss is going to do a swipe attack so they don't get knocked or your damage seal just doesn't go through view that they'll have super armor.
689s And then other than that, instead of...
690s it's kind of a lower damage class, you going to need level nine gems to get into the trade.
693s That's expectation nowadays - not just level seven transformation classes, since you only got...
700s That is your minute of tearing Grenton apart.
702s Grenton, you have one minute left to make your final response.
704s Well, thank you.
705s Thank you very much for saying that you only need two gems for the class, so it's easier to get set up and get going.
710s Right?
710s Because you don't need 11 gems, one damage, one cooldown, and you can just laugh at all your friends who are crying because they gambled the level ten and got another cool down gem and you have to post it on the auction house.
719s So not only that, super cheap to build, right?
722s So it's easy to get going and easy to set up in raid, and yeah, the movement skills, you just got to know you're going forwards, you've got...
729s it's one direction, it's not like other classes in the game - the one I play that goes all over the place. So it's easy to get going and easy to set up in raid, and yeah, the movement skills, you just got to know you're going forwards, you've got...
729s it's one direction, it's not like other classes in the game - the one I play that goes all over the place.
736s It's a very easy class.
737s You just, you just go and do it.
738s Artillerist, you kind of have to preplan your damage, and you got to make sure that, like you said, you're playing 50/50.
744s So you want to make...
746s you're not super fast, you're not super slow, but you're not a Machinist that is just flying around, soaring everywhere.
752s You barely get hit by mechanics.
754s And like you said, if you do, you have that big chunky shield and sure, you might drop out early, your skills are back off cooldown anyway.
760s You'll just get back into that transformation mode.
763s Time!
763s All right.
764s That was your minute as well.
766s That was the entire debate.
767s I'm going to bring the spectators over here so we can discuss.
770s You set me up so well.
771s All right.
771s Thank you for joining me.
773s That was a kind of an interesting debate.
775s I want to know what you guys thought.
777s I feel like they said a whole bunch of nothing.
778s I don't really know what they were talking about.
780s I think...
781s I think Grenton watches a lot of Legalia tier list and he put scouter doing zero damage and DatModz was selling me on barraeg.
788s I'm not sure - what do you think?
790s I mean, like, I play evolutionary legacy because it is a bit easier.
796s So you know, I'm a little bit biased on that, but I think they both have pretty valid points.
802s What are you thinking?
802s You play Reflux Sorc, right?
804s Yeah, that was neither of those two classes.
809s It's okay.
809s I also played Reflux Sorce so I get it.
812s I benched it.
812s But, you know.
814s I mean, that's fair.
815s But yeah, I mean, I have my own ideas about this, but neither of them are relevant to Reflux Sorc.
820s I feel like I'm being bullied in my own box.
824s Jenny, what else do you think?
827s I feel like.
827s I mean, I feel like it's very forgiving when you play evolutionary legacy, because, for example, like in certain, you know, raids, you can just kind of walk through things.
837s But, you know, I think Modz has a really good point on swiftness because when I first started playing Lost Ark, I just wanted to go fast.
844s That's pretty much it.
845s And that is absolutely why I play Reflux Sorc.
848s All right.
848s Apparently that was a good point.
849s But I think we have enough information to decide who the winner is.
853s Yeah, I do.
854s All right.
855s Thanks for your input, as always.
856s Send you back and we'll announce our winner.
861s You're not going far.
862s I love Stoopzz' jazz hands.
864s Do I stand here?
866s Go back.
867s Okay, I'll go back.
870s All right.
871s After another interesting debate, it is finally time to announce our winner.
875s Grenton, here we are again.
880s You're making that face at me.
882s Grenton.
884s You.
886s Still you - still you, Grenton.
887s You are not the Mokoko.
890s There you are.
891s Sorry DatModz.
892s Oh, not again.
894s I'll get Jenny.
894s Jenny won't leave me hanging.
897s Good job, Mr.
897s Modz.
898s Don't shake my hand.
902s Fighting the fight for Machinist.
904s Yeah.
904s I'm still not inviting them to my group.
909s You do what you got to to win.
911s All right.
911s Thank you for joining us on another episode of the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club.
915s Remember, none of these arguments really actually matter, because what does matter is the live series finale where you, the community, will choose who is not a Mokoko.
924s All right.
924s We will see you next week for the next episode.
928s We're all doing jazz hands.
930s Jazz hands..
