| 6s | Coming to you from the Amazon Games Community team, it's the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club! |
|---|---|
| 12s | With your host, straight out of the rocks box, it's Roxx! |
| 15s | Welcome to the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club. |
| 27s | This is where our contestants debate to prove they have what it takes not to be a Mokoko. |
| 32s | I'm Roxx and I'm here to make sure all of our contestants are on equal footing. |
| 36s | Right Mokoko? |
| 37s | My DPS meter says otherwise. |
| 41s | That's a banable offense. |
| 42s | Anyway, let's get things started by bringing out our first contestant. |
| 46s | Here is Grenton. |
| 50s | Next up, we have DatModz. |
| 60s | And... |
| 61s | And Stoopzz. |
| 66s | Okay, finally we have Bobajenny. |
| 69s | What's wrong? |
| 69s | What happened? |
| 74s | Do we need to talk about something? |
| 77s | Can you just start the show? |
| 80s | Okay. |
| 80s | Yeah, let's get right into it with our warm-up debate. |
| 84s | So for today's warm-up debate, I guess we're going to go with, What is the craziest thing in Lost Ark? |
| 93s | I'll give both teams a minute to strategize. |
| 98s | I think it's animal skins. |
| 101s | Yeah, you go in the fun house. |
| 104s | You got a maze. |
| 105s | You know, I feel like nobody ever really talks enough about how weird Lost Ark is. |
| 109s | I'm talking unborn Mokoko seeds, lady bug riding, doing really questionable things on your pet ranch. |
| 116s | And of course... |
| 117s | I'm talking running packages for people when you're the Earth's biggest hero. |
| 127s | And even fighting demons with battle mechs. |
| 130s | Where else can you do that but in Arkasia? |
| 132s | Nowhere else. |
| 133s | Yee-hee! |
| 140s | All right. |
| 140s | Everyone seems pretty ready to get into it. |
| 142s | So let's start our warm-up debate. |
| 144s | Animal skins. |
| 145s | Animal skins? |
| 147s | Yeah, that's pretty normal. |
| 149s | That's not normal at all. |
| 150s | Compared to going into a clown raid where you're going to an entire fun house, where not only do you get shrunk down and you're put on a blackjack table to fight for your life while a little toy clown chases you with a hammer, suddenly you're doing a platforming game, then you have to do bingo with bombs. |
| 166s | You're telling me that "animal skins" is crazier than that? |
| 170s | If you're going to slay a demon dressed like a cow - you're in a very serious setting where your life is on the line - in a costume. |
| 176s | Yeah, but a lot of times you put on a disguise to infiltrate and become more inconspicuous, right? |
| 182s | If you're in a cow costume, you could just go down to all four and you can sneak up on the boss behind him. |
| 186s | Don't you think it's pretty weird - And he won't even see you coming, right? |
| 188s | Pull out your axe, whack him in the back! |
| 190s | Don't you think it's - can I say something right now? |
| 192s | I've tried to stop you five times. |
| 195s | It's the theme on this show. |
| 197s | Yeah, I had to finish what I was saying first. |
| 198s | We're in a serious setting right now. |
| 199s | Right? |
| 200s | Yes. |
| 200s | Yeah. |
| 200s | Don't you think it's pretty weird that you're dressed as a clown? |
| 203s | I'm not dressed as a class. |
| 204s | He's derssed normally. |
| 204s | That's very insensitive of you to say. |
| 206s | What do I look like right now? |
| 208s | A bozo. |
| 208s | Copyrighted. |
| 209s | You go into a raid, and at the end of the cinematic, when you've finally slayed Brelshaza, you have a rat, a hippo, a dog. |
| 219s | That's weird. |
| 220s | That's not normal for a fantasy game. |
| 221s | That's crazy. |
| 222s | You're telling me going into a funhouse to kill a demon clown is normal? |
| 225s | With a giant salami weapon? |
| 227s | You know that's weird. |
| 228s | Look me in my eyes. |
| 229s | Look at me in my little clowns. |
| 230s | I don't want to look in your eyes. |
| 231s | Tell me that's not weird. |
| 232s | You look weird. |
| 234s | I won't look in your eyes. |
| 234s | You just said it wasn't weird that I was dressed up in a serious setting! |
| 236s | That's my point. |
| 237s | When you're dressed up like a friggin dog, a rat pack... |
| 241s | You get shrunk down, you have to guide your friends through a maze... |
| 244s | You're going through a... |
| 244s | While a clown on a ball is trying to run you over and kill you! |
| 247s | It's a fantasy game! |
| 247s | And then if you don't successfully do it, you'll die! |
| 252s | You're taken into space and Brelshaza is dropping meteors on you, it's the raid! |
| 256s | It's not that weird. |
| 256s | It's not as weird as getting shrunk into a clown doll. |
| 259s | It is weird. |
| 261s | It's weird that you're like doing a serious fight, like Brelshaza or something - With a giant salami. |
| 265s | A banana. |
| 266s | A shish kebab. |
| 267s | Running through saws is not weird? |
| 270s | Do you do that in your day-to-day life? |
| 271s | What do you mean? |
| 272s | It's a raid! |
| 273s | Raid attacks and raid patterns aren't weird, okay? |
| 278s | You don't think of running through some saws is weird... |
| 281s | Getting hit by a meteor isn't weird? |
| 283s | Now when you're not in a funhouse! |
| 287s | You're in space, what do you mean? |
| 291s | I think you're just scared to go back to the funhouse. |
| 293s | Mm hmm. |
| 295s | It's an emporium of fun. |
| 297s | This is weird. |
| 300s | I cannot argue with that. |
| 302s | So we're going to go ahead and go into a commercial break. |
| 305s | I guess when we get back, we'll do our very serious one versus one debate. |
| 319s | Oh, nice to see you there. |
| 322s | You're looking for a fun time with your friends and family? |
| 325s | Come on down to Kakul-Saydon Circus. |
| 328s | We got everything you could ever ask for. |
| 331s | We got games, lasers, fire breathers, and explosive bingo boards. |
| 339s | Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! |
| 379s | All right. |
| 380s | Welcome back from our commercial break. |
| 383s | It's time to get into our super serious 1v1 debate. |
| 387s | Anyway. |
| 388s | You know how it goes. |
| 389s | First contestant has one minute to make their argument and second contestant has one minute to make theirs. |
| 394s | Then each contestant will have one minute to respond. |
| 397s | Stoopzz and Bobahenny. |
| 398s | Today's topic is, What is the most important s$@# to be added to Lost Ark? |
| 403s | I want you both to pick your topic before and then I'll give you a minute to strategize. |
| 407s | Quality of life. |
| 408s | Okay. |
| 409s | New raids. |
| 410s | New raids, quality of life. |
| 411s | All right. |
| 412s | Here is your minute to strategize. |
| 413s | Maybe think about some of your life choices. |
| 415s | If you have extra time, do whatever you need to do. |
| 418s | You're wearing armor. |
| 419s | What you're talking about? |
| 420s | Yeah, Armor. |
| 421s | Okay. |
| 421s | You throw it. |
| 422s | You just threw that horn. |
| 424s | Protecting myself. |
| 426s | Think about your debate. |
| 430s | Yeah. |
| 430s | Wonder how they're going to approach these topics. |
| 431s | Having new raids is really important because players need something to continue to do and keeps the game fresh and quality of life. |
| 437s | I don't like this. |
| 438s | What don't you like, Roxx? |
| 442s | He's gone. |
| 442s | Okay. |
| 444s | Go and prepare. |
| 446s | It's fine. |
| 446s | Just keep talking. |
| 448s | Oh no - we lost Roxx. |
| 449s | I guess we're the hosts now. |
| 450s | Anything about quality of life. |
| 452s | I think it's, you know, improves the quality of your life, which is good. |
| 454s | More convenient. |
| 455s | Yeah. |
| 456s | But also new raids is good. |
| 457s | It's like having a microwave and having... |
| 458s | instead of having to start a fire and cook your stew. |
| 461s | Yeah but a microwave makes it soggy. |
| 464s | Yeah, but it's convenient. |
| 465s | Sometimes convenient isn't the best. |
| 468s | Yeah. |
| 469s | New raids though. |
| 470s | That's pog. |
| 470s | It is. |
| 472s | I should go in the rocks box. |
| 473s | I'll be the new host. |
| 474s | No, no, I'm... |
| 475s | I'm okay. |
| 477s | Anyway, debaters are... |
| 479s | are you ready? |
| 481s | Yes. |
| 483s | Stoopzz. |
| 483s | Are you ready? |
| 485s | Are you ready Bobajenny? |
| 486s | *horrified* Yeah. |
| 489s | Be thankful you're not, like, right next to him. |
| 491s | Yeah, that's fair. |
| 491s | I'm protected. |
| 493s | You ready? |
| 494s | Yeah. |
| 494s | You still haven't answered the question. |
| 496s | Okay, Bobajenny, I'm going to give you the floor first. |
| 500s | You have a minute for your argument starting now. |
| 503s | All right, so I chose new raids because everyone knows when a new raid comes, tons of people log back on. |
| 510s | And the reason why is that it's fresh, it's new. |
| 512s | People want to know what's next. |
| 514s | And usually with new raids, there's also new upgrades to your equipment. |
| 518s | If there are less raids available for you to do, some people might feel like they're just running in circles, you know, doing their dailies, their Chaos and Guardian, and they're going to feel burnt out because they don't know what they're working for next. |
| 532s | With new raids, it kind of creates these check points for your gameplay. |
| 536s | It's like, Hey, I'm doing this right now so I can get match to hone to get to this iLvl to do the raid aAnd then from there, you can have so many more new experiences with your friends while you're playing Lost Ark. |
| 548s | And that's why I think new raids is super important. |
| 552s | All right, Stoopzz, you have one minute to make your first argument. |
| 555s | You make a lot of good points, Bobajenny. |
| 557s | I do like raids. |
| 559s | I think they're the most fun thing to do in the game. |
| 561s | But QOL is about improving your moment to moment gameplay. |
| 565s | It's about fixing up the UI. |
| 567s | Going back and revisiting some things in the game that may slow down your experience and making them better for the current existing player. |
| 576s | Raids do bring people into the game. |
| 578s | It brings players back into the game and it's a great point for marketing to get everyone super excited. |
| 582s | But just simple things like changing how card packs open and instantly reading them into your collection, being able to preview skins and things like that, although it's not something that you probably slap all over like a big advertisement, it does make the game a lot more enjoyable for your current playerbase and the people that do come into the game for the raids because they are important, they'll have a better experience day to day when playing the game. |
| 608s | And I think it's more about building a strong foundation and stacking things on top of that, like raids, classes, etc. |
| 615s | You want to have a good foundation. |
| 616s | So I think QOL and revisiting that foundation is really important. |
| 619s | All right, that is your minute. |
| 621s | Bobajenny. |
| 621s | You have one minute for a response. |
| 624s | I completely agree with everything you said for QOL, but the thing is you need to grab people's attention. |
| 631s | If they work together, that would be awesome. |
| 633s | But in general I feel like new raids just get people going - like they want... |
| 637s | they want to try, oh, I want to get to this item level to this, to do this mode. |
| 642s | I want to get my other alts onto this raid as well. |
| 646s | So it creates a lot more content in the game for people to feel more... |
| 651s | what's the word... |
| 652s | like, they want to continue to upgrade all of their characters and continue to play the characters that they need to in order to improve. |
| 660s | And overall, new raids are great for learning new mechs. |
| 664s | And yeah, I feel like new raids probably balances all the player... |
| 671s | how to... |
| 672s | online players? |
| 675s | Brings back a lot of online players! |
| 678s | Right on time. |
| 679s | Perfect ending. |
| 680s | Stoopzz, you have one minute to respond starting now. |
| 683s | Yes. |
| 683s | It brings back a lot of players but what's the sickest thing on the patch notes, Bobajenny? |
| 686s | It's hard to be mean to you. |
| 687s | Okay? |
| 688s | But I've got to step up my voice right now because I want to win this debate. |
| 692s | I'm sick of opening shard bags one by one. |
| 694s | You know what they added to the patch notes? |
| 696s | I can open them all at once! Instant card pack reads! |
| 700s | Going through the UI and having better options for my settings! |
| 703s | It feels good, right? |
| 705s | And that makes the gameplay experience better. |
| 707s | The raid's cool, but when I finish the raid, I'm still experiencing the rest of the game. |
| 711s | If they're not revisiting that, Bobajenny, and they don't make those changes, my day to day experience won't be as good, Roxx! |
| 719s | Why are you telling me this? |
| 720s | Because I want you to vote for... |
| 722s | you're supposed to... |
| 722s | you're... |
| 724s | Bobajenny! |
| 728s | QOL is as important as the raids. |
| 731s | Gimme back my horn. |
| 731s | That is as important as the raids. |
| 735s | Okay, because the raids will bring you in. |
| 737s | But we need to make sure the foundation of the game is strong. |
| 740s | Raids are something you add on top to the foundation of the game. |
| 743s | And even though... |
| 744s | That's your - You interrupted my time. |
| 747s | Okay. |
| 750s | QOL. |
| 750s | I think she's scared of clowns. |
| 751s | Let me see that for a second. |
| 754s | Roxx says be quiet! |
| 756s | *honks horn* Oh my God! |
| 758s | Oh my God! |
| 764s | I'm losing control of my life. |
| 766s | Here you go, sir. |
| 767s | Why did you... |
| 768s | how did you...? |
| 768s | Oh, my goodness. |
| 770s | You got to use a little horse. |
| 771s | I ran out of steam at the end. |
| 772s | I don't know. |
| 773s | I think that was the end of our debate. |
| 775s | I'm going to bring the spectator and the other clown over here to talk about that, and we'll get back with the winner shortly. |
| 783s | All right. |
| 783s | Thank you both for joining me. |
| 785s | I want to know what you thought, but for some reason, I have this feeling I'm not going to be able to take DatMoz seriously today. |
| 791s | So we're going to start with Grenton. |
| 792s | But can you ever take me seriously? |
| 794s | Not right now. |
| 796s | They both had very good points. |
| 798s | Stoopzz kind of hit the nail on the head in his first argument with, you know, just making the day to day more enjoyable and a smoother experience all around. |
| 806s | But then his second argument was just him repeating, you know, quality of life is cool over and over again. |
| 812s | I mean, he had me in the first half. |
| 815s | But Bobajenny also has a very good point because raids is the biggest thing that brings players back to the game and keeps people playing the game. |
| 821s | Just like any MMO. |
| 822s | It's very seasonal. |
| 823s | You have drop offs and players and what brings them back? |
| 826s | It's the raids. |
| 827s | So I definitely think that the raids is one of the most important things to keep adding. |
| 831s | And like Stoopzz said, it's the best content in the game, so you wanna make sure it continues to be the best content in the game. |
| 835s | All right. |
| 836s | DatModz? |
| 836s | Yeah, and I agree with that. |
| 838s | Improving your day to day content, it's very, very important. |
| 840s | And remember that annoyance from what players are basically interacting with every day. |
| 845s | Just make it convenient is good but... |
| 846s | if the endgame raids aren't coming in and they're not good, people are just going to log out because there's going to be nothing to do. |
| 852s | So I would say raids are a little bit more important than improving people's day to day quality of life. |
| 858s | I'm sorry I said I wouldn't take you seriously. |
| 860s | That was a great assessment. |
| 861s | I really appreciate it from both of you. |
| 863s | And I think I have enough. |
| 866s | You're supposed to be on my team, bozo. |
| 873s | All right. |
| 873s | I think I have more than enough information to make my decision. |
| 876s | My nose! |
| 879s | It's lost in the mushroom forest! |
| 881s | Anyway, I think I have more than enough information to make my decision. |
| 886s | And more than enough in my brain than I ever wanted to have. |
| 889s | So I'm going to send you two back and I'll declare a winner. |
| 893s | Stoopzz. |
| 911s | You may be a clown, but you are not a Mokoko. |
| 916s | Wow! |
| 921s | Screw you, bozo, let's go! |
| 923s | Oh. |
| 926s | All right. |
| 927s | That's going to do it for this really ... |
| 930s | Let's go! |
| 930s | That's what I'm talking about! |
| 930s | That's going to do it for this week's episode of the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club. |
| 934s | Remember, none of this actually matters until the live season finale. |
| 937s | Where you, the community, will get to vote on who is and who is not a Mokoko. |
| 942s | Thanks for joining us through whatever the f$@$% this was and we'll see you next week. |
| 970s | Please like this video and subscribe. |
| 974s | And your pressing of that button could change a tiny little Mokoko life. |
| 979s | Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. |
