[2023] Lost Ark: Tavern Talks with Roxx

Transcript (by Youtube)

9s	Neria, another round here.
11s	Oh, hey, I didn't see you there.
14s	Welcome to Tavern Talks with Roxx.
16s	A new show where we get together and do whatever fun things people are supposed to do in taverns.
23s	We're really glad to have you here hanging out.
25s	We've got a great show in store for you, and it's going to be a little bit different every time.
29s	So we're really excited to see what you have — To see what we have for you.
34s	You know what I have?
35s	I have nothing.
36s	Neria, hurry up.
38s	As the nights grow colder and spooky season approaches.
41s	The Lost Ark community has shared with me their scariest stories from their time in Arkesia.
49s	During Rown release, there was a secret cave you could enter to collect a Mokoko seed.
54s	I entered and to my surprise, there were five Mokoko Seeds.
57s	When I started to press "G", the other Mokoko seeds suddenly transformed into sharpshooters from the opposing blue faction, and they all started channeling snipe.
67s	Scary Stories from Arkesia There was that time where everyone logged in, but all their Pheons were negative.
77s	That **** was scary.
80s	Scary Stories from Arkesia.
82s	We deeply apologize.
86s	I used 250 pheons to cut a 7/7 stone and didn't even get it.
93s	One day later, I get a random stone drop from a chaos dungeon wnd get my 7/7 stone!
100s	RIP my pheons.
102s	Scary Stories from Arkesia.
103s	R.
103s	I.
103s	P.
110s	This one really sends shivers down my spine whenever I remember it.
114s	As a committed player since launch, my mother does not allow me to have dinner before I finish my weekly Akkan Hard Mode with my guildies.
122s	These I had to starve while doing it.
125s	However, after it was done, and I arrived to get my cold dinner, it was not what I expected.
130s	It was a cold soup with beans.
133s	Scary stories from Arkesia.
135s	Muwahaha.
140s	So the Pleccia update came out last month and you've probably been seeing a lot of Armen.
144s	So let's talk about the Delain the room.
147s	Spoilers ahead.
148s	Armen.
150s	What a guy.
151s	The moody half man, half demon Delain that turned his back on you and Thirain, only to walk straight into the very, very questionable embrace of Kharmine.
163s	Let's talk about where he's been and the newest place you can go in Arkesia.
168s	For those that need to throw it way, way back, Armen was first introduced to you as a priest who joined you to help save Arkesians and protect the Ark.
177s	But it quickly became clear that Armen was harboring an unholy power as a secret Delain and fighting to contain his demonic form.
184s	At Lostwind Cliff, Sacrian Executor Solas launched an attack on an innocent group of people and Armen wasn't strong enough to save them.
193s	Broken emotionally, Armen let his rage take over and murdered all of the assailants because two wrongs definitely make a right.
201s	Despite you and Thirain coming to save the day like you always do, Armen refused to return home with his two best friends, instead fully embracing his Delain form and Kharmine.
212s	Not romantically.
213s	Probably.
215s	From here you probably moved on like a normal person, continued playing Lost Ark, and didn't consider Armen for a while until you found yourself randomly on Promise Isle.
226s	Despite being replaced, Allegro assures you that you still are the light for Armen, even as he quite literally battles his own demons, and he tells you that you will cross paths again someday.
236s	But you move forward as always, and eventually found yourself in Elgacia where Armen finally decided to make an actual appearance.
245s	With Kharmine in tow — surprise, the enemy of my enemy is my friend — these two helped you face off against Lauriel and save Elgacia to find the last Ark.
254s	Here he calls you old friend and proceeds to grunt at you for several minutes before finally lamenting about the past.
261s	Talk about giving mixed signals and being a fair-weather friend.
265s	It's now time to adventure to Pleccia, where Armen grew up.
269s	We've had about enough of him and his weird grunting in the present, so it's time to learn about his past in this land of art and romance, where his trail has finally led to.
278s	Cheers to Armen.
282s	Oh God can we cut to commercial?
285s	Cut to commercial.
288s	Disgusting, embarrassing, humiliating.
293s	This fashion has got to go.
293s	Last season's Neria's Qardrobe is the wrong kind of scary.
303s	Do you have a physical form?
306s	Then come down to Akkan's Spooky Costume Emporium!
311s	Look at this drip.
312s	We've got Overlord and Witch Skins, and even little ghost pets.
321s	My shops are spreading across Arkesia.
326s	Here.
326s	Here.
327s	Of course, here.
328s	Everywhere you can catch diseases, you'll find Akkan's Spooky Costume Emporium.
339s	Don't waste away in your corporeal form.
340s	Wear my Plague Legion Wears today!
348s	Welcome back from our commercial break.
350s	You might notice I have a new bar fly here with me.
354s	This is Tim.
355s	Why don't you say hi, Tim?
357s	Hi, Tim.
358s	Perfect.
359s	Tim, why don't you introduce yourself to our heroes of Arkesia?
363s	Well, as previously stated, I'm Tim, and I'm the Senior Lead Brand Person on Lost Ark.
370s	Cool.
371s	Can you tell me a little bit about what that means?
374s	Like what your role is?
375s	My role is to help orchestrate all of the different groups here at Amazon Games that work on Lost Ark to help learn what the players want, listen to the feedback that they have, and then try to incorporate that into educational, exciting, and entertaining ways to help promote both what we're doing in game and what's to come.
393s	Cool.
393s	How would you say that that work impacts players?
396s	I know you already kind of answered it, but.
399s	Well, I think— I'd like to think that we're able to give players an idea of what's coming up to get them excited about the next, you know, next month's content and next month's update.
411s	But also to keep players engaged and interested in what they're doing in the game now to help build that community, which we all so dearly love about games as a service type games.
422s	We love games as a service.
424s	All right.
424s	I have one more question for you.
426s	This might be a hard one.
427s	What is your favorite project for Lost Ark that you've worked on?
432s	My favorite project, undoubtedly, is the video that we created for the first anniversary back in February.
438s	I won't let them forget you.
444s	So we worked with some content creators that are near and dear to many of you, as we've used them for so many different things throughout the years here.
454s	But we really wanted to create a campaign that celebrated the players, all the hard work and effort and all the joy and excitement they had playing the game over for the first year.
464s	And we really wanted to bring that all to life.
466s	So we tapped into some of the archives that we have from the videos and the streams that the creators produced and tried to recreate a lot of those moments for folks so that when they watched those videos, it would remind them of all the fun and excitement they had doing things for the first time in the game.
481s	Yeah, that was a really cool video.
482s	I remember the first time I watched it, actually.
485s	It's just, it's got a lot of those like, great, picked out magical moments that really make like the Lost Ark experience feel, like, amazing.
494s	So that was a great, that's a really good favorite project.
497s	All right.
497s	Thank you for answering my questions.
499s	I have a few more for you.

509s	Yes.
510s	Are you sure or did you need another drink first?
512s	No, I need a refill, actually.
514s	Neria!
514s	Okay.
515s	She's going to take a while to get here.
517s	This is not— I probably wouldn't have picked this bar, the service is really bad.
521s	But until she gets here: rapid fire.

575s	Oh, you're welcome.

590s	Maybe we'll have you back some time.
593s	Uh, you can go.
594s	That's all I got, I didn't have a way to close out this segment.
596s	Where's the beer?
597s	Find the Mokoko!
609s	3, 2, 1.
609s	3, 2, 1.
609s	3, 2, 1.
618s	Hey, I haven't seen you around here before.
620s	You must be from Jump-Start servers.
623s	You know, Jump-Start servers opened up last month and brought a whole bunch of new adventurers into Arkesia.
628s	And I know a lot about you.
629s	No, no.
630s	Come back here.
631s	It's like mostly, mostly...
633s	come on.
634s	Good things.
635s	Did you know that three out of the six most created classes are actually support classes alongside Slayer, Aeromancer, and Sorceress?
643s	Did you know the most popular class is Slayer?
645s	You probably did.
646s	But did you know that Slayer is 13% of all of the created characters?
652s	And on the other hand, did you know the least popular class?
656s	Wardancer.
656s	Sorry Wardancers.
658s	Did you know there are ten times as many Slayers as there are you?
661s	Did you know that over 2 million Mokoko Seeds have been collected?
665s	And did you know that each of those 2 million Mokoko Seeds have a tiny, unborn Mokoko person in them?
670s	Really gross!
670s	Did you know that 1.5 billion chat messages have been sent?
674s	And did you know that mailbag is coming next!?
679s	Hey Lost Ark Community and Roxx!
679s	In today's question, I wanted to ask you if you were stuck in an endless quest loop, which part of the story would be the scariest to be stuck in?
688s	The part where you fight Banda with Wei and everything is all black and white and trippy, I would just lose my mind.
696s	What's the scariest island you've visited in Lost Ark?
698s	The obvious answer is Metus Island, but my answer is Dreamgull Island.
702s	I can still hear their screams.
705s	Which Legion Commander has the scariest theme?
708s	Probably Brelshaza and her space opera.
710s	I don't like operas and I don't like space.
714s	It's showtime.
717s	Hello, Roxanne.
722s	I would like to ask you and the other Arkesians about the other children of Kazeros.
731s	Which of us is the most despicable, the most evil?
739s	Because I felt so personally threatened by that question, I'm going to make it the community question for the day so you can all feel threatened too.
747s	Which of Kazeros's children do you find the most despicable?
751s	Let us know in the comments.
753s	All right.
754s	That's gonna do it for our first ever episode of Tavern Talks.
757s	Be sure to like, comment, subscribe.
759s	Let us know what you thought.
761s	I had a lot of fun, but we're really interested in seeing what you liked and what you might want to see in the future.
766s	Remember, every episode is going to be a little bit different, so you never know what could show up, and we want to hear all of your crazy ideas.
773s	All right.
773s	Thanks for joining us and I'll see you around Arkesia.
789s	Word.
790s	I am denting the table.
792s	That's okay.
792s	Okay.
793s	As long as you know.
795s	Neria, hurry up.
797s	Did I hit the light?
805s	Oh.
805s	Hahaha.
807s	Yeah.
808s	Yep, yep.
809s	I would be dead if there was another person under this blanket.
811s	I would be cooked alive.
813s	Cool.
813s	Arkesia.
813s	Spoooooky.
821s	I am blah blah blah blah.
824s	That was twice.
825s	Tim is here to make you feel things.
829s	All the feels.
830s	So if you're seeing women with big swords...
834s	You're probably on a Jump-Start server.
835s	That was...
836s	that felt like an innuendo.
842s	Gonna start doing.
843s	You have to play— make some music.
846s	Toby you look so cute.
