| 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! |
| 24s | Welcome to the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club. |
| 25s | This is where our contestants debate to prove they have what it takes not to be a Mokoko. |
| 31s | I'm Roxx and I'm here to make sure Grenton's argument isn't solely based on the Reaper. |
| 35s | Right, Mokoko? |
| 36s | That's all he knows. |
| 38s | All right, let's get today's Debate Club started by bringing out our Creators. |
| 43s | First up, we have DatModz. |
| 48s | You make it? |
| 49s | They get ya? |
| 50s | I was sneaky this time. |
| 53s | Very, very sneaky. |
| 54s | Next up, we've got Bobajenny. |
| 58s | Hi, everyone. |
| 60s | Then we're bringing out Grenton. |
| 64s | And finally, we have Stoopzz. |
| 67s | Lailai! |
| 67s | Lailai! |
| 71s | All right. |
| 71s | All right. |
| 72s | Welcome. |
| 72s | Let's get into it with our warm-up debate. |
| 74s | As always, this is a two versus two debate, and the only rule is that there isn't really any rules. |
| 80s | Get it all out there. |
| 81s | Say what you want to say. |
| 82s | Yell over each other all you want, but don't yell over me because I don't like it. |
| 86s | All right. |
| 87s | Our teams are split. |
| 88s | Today's question is, which loading screen was better, the Seagulls or the Sidereals? |
| 95s | Think about it. |
| 96s | Think about it. |
| 97s | It doesn't matter. |
| 97s | You two will get the seagulls and you two will have to argue for the Sidereals. |
| 102s | Lots of strong opinions there. |
| 104s | But I'll give you all a minute to strategize. |
| 106s | I mean, it's like it's traumatizing loading screens. |
| 109s | It's iconic, right? |
| 111s | It feels like it welcomes you home. |
| 113s | So if you're sitting at home, not commenting on this video and instead commenting on Discord, I bet I know what you're saying - and it's probably, "Patch notes when?" We've all heard that one before, but no one has heard that as much as my next guest that I have for you guys. |
| 130s | Hello, I'm Henry Stelter, the Head of Editorial at Amazon Games. |
| 135s | Can you tell us what you do when you Head the Editorial? |
| 138s | Absolutely. |
| 139s | All of the official communication on our website, everything from patch notes to developer blogs, that sort of thing. |
| 147s | If it's not Roxx yelling at you on Discord, it's probably coming from my team. |
| 153s | Patch notes, developer letters. |
| 155s | It's kind of a lot. |
| 156s | Is there anything else you're planning on covering in the future maybe that players haven't seen yet? |
| 161s | Yeah, absolutely. |
| 162s | As we head forward into the next year of live operations in Arkesia, we're really looking at breaking down the barrier between the players and our studio and my team super excited to facilitate that. |
| 175s | We want to do more behind-the-scenes looks, more talking about how we're tackling bots, bringing in cosmetics, bringing in new exciting pieces of content. |
| 187s | So if you have any suggestions, let me know, let me know in the comments, or just ping Roxx in Discord over and over again. |
| 194s | I know she loves it. |
| 196s | Well, I will be turning off my notifications and I will also be removing you from my set for that one. |
| 201s | I appreciate the work you've done and I'm sure our players will too, in the future. |
| 205s | But for now, that's enough of that s#$@. |
| 210s | It's a good question. |
| 214s | Okay. |
| 214s | All right. |
| 215s | All right. |
| 215s | Everybody feeling ready? |
| 217s | Feeling good enough? |
| 221s | Sure. |
| 221s | Ready to go. |
| 222s | All right, Well, go with it. |
| 223s | Go ahead and kick off that warm-up debate. |
| 226s | Okay. |
| 226s | There's not even an argument here. |
| 228s | Okay. |
| 228s | First off... |
| 229s | Loading screens. |
| 230s | That's not a debate. |
| 230s | It's a debate, Roxx, it is. |
| 234s | That screen is associated with 20,000 sitting in the queue for a long time, not being able to play the game. |
| 241s | When you see the seagulls...and you see the background... |
| 245s | and you see the epic boat, it just welcomes you home. |
| 248s | You're like, wow, okay. |
| 250s | *indecipherable* I mean, all you get is the music in the background. |
| 255s | You're talking about epic music and you think the Legion Commander one doesn't have epic music? |
| 258s | Okay. |
| 260s | *infuriating seagull impressions* No, no, no, no, no, no. |
| 261s | It's like relaxing. |
| 263s | It's relaxing and soothing. |
| 265s | Have you ever heard a white noise? |
| 266s | That what the seagulls were when you were in queue. |
| 268s | I'm trying to play an epic game, not listen to white noise when I'm logging in. |
| 274s | I'm getting ready for battle. |
| 274s | You want to know about real white noise? |
| 274s | Photo sensitivity mode. |
| 276s | Yeah, every single time you log in. |
| 279s | Yeah, that's right. |
| 280s | What do you say about that? |
| 281s | I don't care if there's a Legion Commander - That's a bug! |
| 282s | Henry, tell him that's a bug. |
| 284s | You're going to fix that, right? |
| 285s | No way you can say, photosensitivity mode every single time, but - We're talking about the artwork and the music - not the bug. |
| 294s | The sailor one is amazing. |
| 295s | For the Legion Commander one, you just go and you're just like, Oh, I haven't done Vykas yet, I haven't done my Brel 5, 6. |
| 303s | Yeah but you get Nineveh, you got Azena... |
| 304s | Listen up, if you played on EU West, you never heard the seagull sound. |
| 308s | You just saw the epic loading screen when you logged in. |
| 310s | Let's not talk about getting stuff done. |
| 311s | He's cutting me off! |
| 311s | Not honey. |
| 313s | Are you going to break this up or what? |
| 319s | That's the entire point. |
| 319s | Actually, DatModz - get louder. |
| 320s | No. |
| 321s | She's been against me this whole time. |
| 325s | This is literally the point of the warm-up debate. |
| 327s | Let's not talk about getting stuff done. |
| 329s | You couldn't get anything done at the launch of the game because you were sitting in loading screens! |
| 333s | Let him cook! |
| 336s | You couldn't get into the game - that's a traumatizing experience for any player that played at launch. |
| 341s | It sounds like you're on a beach though! |
| 342s | Some people got jobs, man. |
| 344s | They got to work from 9 - 5. |
| 347s | They can't start at 6 in the morning. |
| 348s | My servers - you just have to make make smart decisions. |
| 349s | They got jobs, man. |
| 351s | These people are innocent Mokokos trying to explore the game. |
| 353s | You shouldn't just follow your favorite content creator went - you should have thought. |
| 357s | Yeah, exactly. |
| 359s | It literally sounds like you're on vacation. |
| 361s | NA East. |
| 363s | Best server. |
| 365s | All right. |
| 365s | There you have it. |
| 366s | No answer to our warm-up debate at all. |
| 370s | They let us cook. |
| 370s | We're going to take a quick commercial break and we'll get back right to it for our 1v1 after we get back. |
| 378s | Hey, it's me again. |
| 380s | And today we want to talk about someone a little bit different. |
| 384s | A little bit too different for his own good. |
| 386s | Someone that tweeted 166 days consecutively about a class that does absolutely no damage and that person would be Not Grenton. |
| 395s | Because I, too, would not want to be Grenton at this point. |
| 399s | What can I say? |
| 400s | Class hits like a napkin. |
| 402s | I don't know. |
| 402s | He's kind of a five-head. |
| 403s | So vote for me, Bobajenny, not Grenton, for the live finale of the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club. |
| 415s | Yo, do you got to do a raid together when we get back home? |
| 417s | Yeah. |
| 418s | We should do, like, a Brel Hard or something. |
| 419s | Don't invite Grenton, though. |
| 420s | Oh, my God. |
| 421s | What a loser that guy is. |
| 423s | We don't need someone on the floor. |
| 424s | I'm backstage right now waiting to go out into the... |
| 426s | into the jungle of Mokoko Village, if that's what the other contestants will call it. |
| 432s | Yesterday was rough - it's hard to just sit there and watch them tear apart your favorite class. |
| 437s | Not only that, it's hard to see Jenny just rip into you. |
| 441s | Don't worry. |
| 442s | I won't stop fighting for the underdog. |
| 444s | No matter what they say, I'll be there in your corner. |
| 446s | You play an off-meta class, you get called ZDPS, Grenton's on your side. |
| 452s | So when we get to the live finale for the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club, vote for me. Vote Grenton. |
| 460s | All right. |
| 461s | Welcome back. |
| 462s | We're going to get into serious, serious, serious things with our 1v1 debate. |
| 466s | As always, contestant one will have one minute, contestants two will have one minute. |
| 470s | Contestant one will have one minute, contestants two will have one minute. |
| 473s | That's a lot of 1 minutes. |
| 474s | They'll make their debates and we'll decide on a minute - She has to say this every time? |
| 481s | One minute, one minute, one minute. |
| 483s | We'll decide on a lot of minutes. |
| 484s | They'll make their debates and we will decide on our winner. |
| 487s | Today we have Grenton and Stoopzz. |
| 489s | Your topic for debate is: to PVP or not to PVP? |
| 495s | After last week's episode where we all dogged on the Reaper, Grenton - I know how you feel. |
| 500s | So you are going to argue for PVP. |
| 503s | Stoopzz, you will argue against it. |
| 504s | I'll give you both a minute to strategize. |
| 509s | You feel like - I feel like I threw him a bone. |
| 511s | Grenton feels at home here. |
| 512s | He's a pew pew warlord. |
| 513s | I tried. |
| 514s | I really did. |
| 515s | Stoopzz, he's tried to PVP before. |
| 516s | He just avoided it. |
| 520s | He just tried. |
| 521s | I'm better than you, old man! |
| 522s | I'm still over here. |
| 526s | PVP is really fun, but sometimes it does get a little bit hard to start the match. |
| 530s | Yeah, but it is fun, though. |
| 533s | We'll see what they have to say. |
| 533s | I think Grenton looks super ready. |
| 535s | This is the most confident I've seen him see... seen him... |
| 538s | Seen him see. |
| 540s | I'm doing great. |
| 544s | Okay. |
| 544s | Clearly everyone is super ready with this and this. |
| 547s | That means they're ready. |
| 548s | Let's go ahead and get things started. |
| 550s | Grenton, today is your day so you can get started with your one minute argument first. |
| 555s | Go ahead and start now. |
| 556s | So everybody knows the most difficult thing in video games is playing against other people. |
| 561s | All right. |
| 562s | Not scripted boss mechanics, you know, not just doing the mindless grinding and farming. |
| 567s | It's playing against other people and challenging yourself. |
| 569s | There's nothing more challenging than Lost Ark PVP. |
| 572s | You go in there, whether it's arena where it's equalized so you don't have to grind and get to 1590 item level or anything crazy. |
| 580s | You just queue when you're level 26 - don't even have to be max level and you can enjoy PVP. |
| 585s | If you do want to take it a little bit more sweaty, you can even do GBG, which is an open world PvP and if your guild wins you get a cool little icon next to your guild name too, lets you stand out, and that one you can invest in your character. |
| 597s | So when it comes to PVP, the challenge is great. |
| 600s | It's probably one of the most engaging PVP experiences in any MMO out out today and it really lets you showcase your skill over less skilled players. |
| 612s | Stoopzz. |
| 612s | You have one minute to make your argument starting now. |
| 615s | Grenton, you're right, Playing against other people is the most difficult thing in gaming. |
| 620s | Not scripted NPC boss fights. |
| 622s | So when people have you on their team in a raid, they are playing against other people. |
| 626s | I think that PVP could be great. |
| 629s | I actually love the idea of doing PvP. |
| 632s | But in Lost Ark, there are a lot of things with PVP that are extremely frustrating for a new player. |
| 636s | There's so many things that you have to understand - stagger, paralysis, Hard CC, and it's frustrating. |
| 642s | People want to hop into the game, they want to have fun right away and there's a huge learning curve when trying to get into Lost Ark PVP. |
| 648s | Also, the materials that you earn from them need to be buffed. |
| 651s | They only be enhanced because I feel like it's not rewarding enough for the average player to hop into and get crapped on by people that have been doing it a lot, right? |
| 659s | Also, the matchmaking isn't as great and you want to be able to play with your friends in ranked, and that's something that a lot of people have been asking for - they want to hop into PVP and want to play. |
| 666s | I would love to play with you in ranked. |
| 668s | I can't do that. |
| 669s | I have to go against these paladins. |
| 672s | The overall matchmaking experience isn't put... |
| 674s | sometimes you don't get a support on your team. |
| 676s | It can be very. |
| 677s | Alright, that is your minute. |
| 677s | Nope. |
| 678s | Nope. |
| 678s | That's it. |
| 679s | Come on man - You had, I gave you like a minute and 2 seconds. |
| 683s | Grenton was summed up in 40. |
| 684s | All right, Grenton, you have a minute to make - He can have my 20 seconds because I got so much ammo. |
| 687s | Oh, you're... |
| 688s | you're ready. |
| 688s | You have a minute to make your response starting now. |
| 690s | You're right. |
| 691s | You know, the rewards could be better, but that's why you have systems like GBG where you can... |
| 694s | you and your guild can make a ton of gold. |
| 696s | Whales. |
| 697s | Not only that, the barrier to entry is high and a lot of people like that challenge. |
| 701s | They don't want to come into a game and just be able to pick it up and dominate everybody. |
| 705s | Look at some of the most popular games out there. |
| 707s | The barrier to entry is high, so once you get over that hump, you can actually show your skill off. |
| 712s | And when people are watching you play, or when you're showing videos to your friends, it's a lot more impactful than look at me standing still, hitting the boss and doing big damage. |
| 721s | So while yes, the matchmaking is also something that could be desired, like you mentioned, it also gives you that skill expression. |
| 727s | So even if you don't have a support on your team and you win against a double support team, you feel a lot better, right? |
| 733s | So there is so many systems in PVP that - once you master them all, or once you even get an understanding of them all - you're playing a completely different game. |
| 741s | And not only that, those skills translate to PVE. |
| 744s | It lets you play better. |
| 745s | You know what your class can do, you know what other classes can do and how to maximize your damage in PVE. |
| 750s | So it's kind of like a big symbiosis. |
| 752s | They work together. |
| 753s | All right, that is your time. |
| 754s | Stoopzz, you have 60 seconds only to make your final response. |
| 758s | A lot of the stuff that you say I honestly agree with, okay? |
| 761s | I know it's a debate, but I do think there's a lot of fun that can be had in PVP. |
| 765s | But the question was, to PVP or not to PVP? |
| 768s | There's like ten people that PVP in Lost Ark. |
| 769s | Okay, the leaderboard, you can literally look at it and there's a reason why because it's a very frustrating experience. |
| 774s | So they've been working on trying to make it more inclusive. |
| 776s | They've added big Rowen events and things like that, but you get like one shot by someone off screen. |
| 783s | GBG you mentioned - it's a bunch of giga juicers that go in there, you stand no chance, they're stacking heavy armor, nobody dies. |
| 788s | So I understand that it's an expression of skill. |
| 790s | I used to PVP man, a lot. |
| 792s | People don't know this, man. |
| 793s | Okay. |
| 793s | I used to be a big PVP'er. |
| 794s | Okay.I know DatModz 15 years ago did World of Warcraft's Arenas. |
| 800s | I used to do a lot of PVP, so I do love PVP, but I still think it needs a little bit more work for a lot for the mass majority... |
| 806s | mass population, majority of people to get into it. |
| 809s | And yeah, I just think it's a little bit frustrating to get into, but I would agree that if you do get into it, it is a lot of fun. |
| 816s | I just think if the question is to PVP or not to PVP, the numbers speak for themselves. |
| 819s | People like doing raids and killing bosses. |
| 822s | Time! |
| 822s | All right. |
| 822s | That is your time. |
| 824s | I'm going to bring the spectators over to discuss and we'll declare a winner shortly. |
| 829s | All right. |
| 830s | I have the spectators here with me. |
| 831s | Let's talk about what we just watched. |
| 833s | How are you all feeling? |
| 835s | I think Stoopzz made a pretty good argument here. |
| 838s | PVP is fun in bursts, but there's a lot of things that gate keep you from getting into PVP. |
| 843s | If you're doing the whale... |
| 844s | whale war stuff, Rowen and stuff like that, you need to spend Phaeons on the appropriate gear, endurance gear has different attributes and stats, right? |
| 851s | So you have to vest in your character. |
| 854s | If you're doing the normal stuff, you can't just queue up with your friends. |
| 858s | And then most of all, the monetary rewards aren't really the best. |
| 861s | There is some vendors, need to get some loot, you might get a selector pack and stuff like that, but outside of that, Lost Ark players, they just want to make gold and they just want to hone, and there's not enough incentive for them to do that. |
| 873s | How are you feeling? |
| 874s | I mean, at the same time, I feel like Grenton made some really, really good points. |
| 878s | If you are new to a class or if you're trying to even get to know a class better, you can either play as or play against them to learn more. |
| 887s | So aside from guild PVP, which I know is very, very different from like deathmatch and the normalized content, I feel like you can learn a lot and get a lot of practice in. |
| 898s | Although the rewards might not be as enticing, it doesn't give you that much gold etc. |
| 904s | materials, but as a whole I do agree with them with the symbiotic phenomenon that it can create by getting to know a class better, and you'll do better on your raids as well. |
| 916s | All right. |
| 916s | All right. |
| 917s | Any closing thoughts before we decide on a winner? |
| 921s | Mm hmm. |
| 922s | Add more selector packs to Rowen. |
| 925s | All right. |
| 925s | It's finally time to decide our winner. |
| 928s | Grenton, I'm not going back and forth with you like this again. |
| 931s | Stoopzz, I'm gonna do to you what I did to Grenton. |
| 935s | Make you really think about it. |
| 936s | Stoopzz. |
| 940s | You are. |
| 943s | The Mokoko. |
| 943s | Sorry. |
| 945s | There is a personal agenda against me on the show. |
| 947s | There absolutely is. |
| 949s | You're trying to block me from getting to the finals of the show. |
| 953s | Stoopzz, everyone gets to the finals. |
| 954s | That's not how any of this works, because none of this matters until the live finale. |
| 958s | But you all have just been so mean to Grenton and the Reaper. |
| 963s | Don't tell me this is a pity win! |
| 963s | I think... |
| 966s | You should do more Lost Ark PVP. |
| 967s | It's not. |
| 969s | I do like Lost Ark PVP. |
| 970s | I do. |
| 970s | That's why I don't like Sorc players. |
| 976s | What?! |
| 978s | She just picked you! |
| 979s | Yeah, it's a pity pick! |
| 979s | I can - I can have Michael roll it back! |
| 982s | Can we do another take? |
| 983s | It's not scripted No, no, no, no, no. |
| 990s | It's a joke. |
| 990s | So I can be the winner. |
| 991s | We're good, we're good. |
| 993s | No more takes. |
| 994s | That was our episode. |
| 995s | Stoopzz is a loser. |
| 996s | Okay. |
| 996s | All right, we'll see yoi next week for our next episode! |
| 1001s | Oh, that was great. |
| 1004s | Oh, my God. |
| 1031s | Oh, look at that. |
| 1032s | That was pretty magical. |
| 1034s | And you know what else would be magical? |
| 1035s | If you like this video and subscribe to our channel so we can keep bringing you more Lost Ark video content. |
