7s Coming to you from the Amazon Games Community Team, it's the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club!
13s With your host, straight out of the rocks box, it's Roxx!
22s 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.
30s I'm Roxx and I'm here to make sure that DatModz doesn't show up in clown makeup.
35s Right, Mokoko?
36s That wig was ratty.
37s It sure was.
39s All right, let's get into it and bring out our first contestant.
42s Here is Stoopzz.
44s Yeah.
45s Vote for me in the finale!
48s Next up, we have Grenton.
54s Next, we're bringing out Bobajenny.
59s And finally, last but not least, DatModz.
63s Where are you going?
63s Wrong way, buddy.
64s Oh.
67s There he is, the man himself.
70s Now that everyone is here, let's get into our two versus two warm-up debate.
74s The teams are the people on the bongos, the people behind the rock.
77s I think you know that by now.
78s For today's topic, and I'm going to make you decide who you're choosing before I let you strategize, which Sidereal would be the coolest to spend the day hanging out with?
93s They didn't even talk.
93s They just agreed.
94s That was incredible.
97s Same brain cells.
98s Just the one shared brain cell putting in the work.
101s All right, you two - what is your topic?
103s Kadan.
105s Okay, you two.
108s Balthorr.
108s All right, I'll give you all a minute to strategize or do whatever weird psychic s%#^ you were doing before.
114s Okay.
116s He is a Sidereal, but he doesn't...
119s Mm hmm.
119s You already know about that.
121s Kadan, no one knows anything about that guy.
123s He's actually a big, mysterious esther.
125s So all season long, we've been listening to the debaters share their arguments, share their opinions.
129s And honestly, I'm kind of sick of it.
131s I wouldn't say that to them or my director, but I'll say it to you guys.
136s I think I'm ready for some cold, hard facts about Lost Ark.
138s And luckily, I have just the person that can share some of those with us.
143s Greetings, foolish uninformed one.
145s I am Ryan, barrer of knowledge.
147s Okay.
148s Ouch.
148s But like, what do you - what do you do?
150s Tell us what you do.
151s Well, my team, Business Intelligence, we manage all of the data that comes in and out of Lost Ark.
159s Okay, all of the data.
161s What kind of data comes in and out of Lost Ark?
164s Everything from when players are logged in, from what items they've collected, how much damage they've done.
172s We know we have tracked every single one of the 6.8 billion tier one gems that people have collected out of Chaos Dungeons recently.
182s We know whether you succeeded or failed.
184s We know who you did it with.
185s We know everything.
188s That's not concerning at all.
190s Can you share some of those numbers and everything you know with us?
194s Did you know that the Artist is the class that has been deleted the least?
199s No regrets with the Artist.
200s No regrets.
201s She's a great support.
202s The most important emote in Lost Ark appears to be thumbs up, followed by the Let's Play emote.
210s Understandable.
212s And it says here that 750 million Mokoko seeds have been gathered by players.
218s That's a lot of unborn Mokokos.
221s Well, what else does a questionable mushroom tell you?
226s We got about 3.5 million ignea tokens have been earned across the board from players.
231s And it seems that well, I found where all of our silvers went.
235s Somewhere in the ballpark of about 200 billion silver has been spent on triports.
240s That's a lot of money going straight to the Arkesian government.
243s Yeah, it's it's pretty much the heftiest tax on the island.
247s Second.
248s Second, of course, to honing. Lot of honing rate issues, but here we see that actually 60% of all hones throughout Lost Ark's history have in fact been successful.
258s And now we can tell that to all the people who swear it's rigged.
261s Right?
262s 1.6 million players have fallen.
266s And that's kind of a lot.
269s It is.
270s But, you know, everybody's doing their part, such as this one player here who it says has died 46,900 times.
280s One person?
282s One player.
282s He's really doing his part.
284s There is a point where failure becomes success and at this point he is succeeding.
287s Yeah. And now you're number one.
288s Look at that.
289s You can do anything.
290s And that's, well, not our motto at the Debate Club, but it should be You can do anything.
294s About something a little bit less painfu?.
298s People seem to have preferences and their aliases on the island.
302s And we found that Destroyers kind of followed a pattern.
306s About 3% of all Destroyers created have "bonk" in their name, which is only matched by Artists, which - about 2% of them - decided to have "Ayaya" in their name.
317s No creativity.
318s But I respect that.
319s You know, that's a lot of good player choices.
322s But yeah, that all sounds great.
324s Thankful for Business Intelligence.
328s I must go.
329s The shrooms need me.
331s It's like everyone is about ready to get into it.
333s So, debaters, whenever you are ready, start fighting.
336s Okay.
337s Mr.
337s Modz, I know you like Balthorr.
339s Yeah.
339s You share the same beard with him.
342s I understand why you picked him, okay.
343s But Kadan is the one Esther that no one knows anything about.
347s You get to build a rapport with all of the other ones in the game.
350s So if I'm going to spend one day with somebody, I want to spend it with Kadan to find out more about who he is.
356s Every time the guy comes out, he has the best cut scenes, the best music, the best hair line.
362s And we know he's the strongest one.
363s He's the big mystery of Lost Ark.
366s So that's who we're going to spend our day with.
368s You're just going to be sitting out with s$#% all day with him.
371s Good. We don't know.
371s A little bit.
372s You don't know that.
374s Kadan is that one edgy, quiet anime character that somehow is popular, but have absolutely no personality.
382s We don't know that.
382s You don't know that.
383s You don't know.
384s You don't even know.
384s Maybe you should get to know him before you judge him.
387s When you look at the facts about Balthorr, what does he have?
390s Beer.
392s That's it.
392s He has a market dance.
394s He has song.
395s He has dance.
396s He is a very lively people.
397s He's beloved.
398s I'm anti-social.
399s He's one of the best new players Sidereals.
402s You think you're gonna get knocked off somewhere, you just throw a little Balthorr at him.
404s Balthorr is - Aren't you new player friendly?
408s Yes.
408s You like new players, right?
410s Yeah. What does Kadan do to help new players?
412s You don't know.
413s No, exactly.
414s We do know what is in the game. Does he do anything to help new players get set up?
417s I'm not sure when - we're not sure when this is being aired.
419s We don't know when this thing airs.
421s But he may or may not save the world.
423s And on top of that - no spoilers - on top of that, Kaden, like I can already spend the day with Balthorr.
431s I can go in-game and -.
433s You watch him sing Romantic Weapon, you don't know what Kadan's doing.
436s You can't do that with Kadan.
438s So if I have one day to spend it with someone, I'm going to pick the person I can't normally spend it with.
444s True. You want what you can't have.
446s And that's Kaden.
446s You said "edgy anime character".
447s You said "edgy anime character." Everyone loves the edgy anime character. But you know what you have with Balthorr.
451s You can go and hang out with Kaden, right, and it's just the worst day of your life.
454s With Balthorr - *indecipherable* Hospitality, though.
463s He looks like a pile of play doh.
464s Which means you're not special because anybody can hang out with Balthorr.
466s But Kadan, if he hangs out with you, you're special.
470s That just kind of makes him kind of mean.
472s Good. Keep your social circle small.
474s Balthorr looks like a pile of play doh.
476s True.
476s He looks like a pile of play doh.
478s A good pile of play doh.
481s Yeah. Good is subjective.
482s Hmm.
483s Just because he has a beard doesn't mean he's good.
484s You're so biased.
486s Kadan is the most powerful character in all of Lost Ark.
489s I can go hang out with you.
493s Me and you can go hang out for a day That's like hanging out with Balthorr.
495s Just like double the height.
499s All right, That's going to do it for our warm-up debate, I guess.
503s When we get back from this commercial break, we'll get into our 1v1 debate with Bobajenny taking on DatModz in their rematch.
513s Travel in Arkasia isn't easy.
519s Lo-Pang Inc is here to help with your shipping needs, no matter how many demons have taken over your town.
526s We track, sort, and deliver packages through our specialized facility and cutting edge innovations.
534s You can trust our couriers to deliver your packages across all three continents.
539s We know Arkesia like the back of our mouse.
542s Visit Una today for more information.
547s Did you know that every hour one of these pets is eaten by me?
555s Hello, I'm Akkan.
558s I might be the Lord of Death.
563s But I also love cute, fuzzy animals like this cat, this bunny, or this egg, I guess.
575s So please call today and help save these loveable pets. Or I will eat them!
582s All right.
583s Welcome back.
583s It is time for our 1v1 debate.
586s As always, each party will have one minute to make their initial argument and one minute to respond for a total of 2 minutes each.
593s Today we have the rematch between Bobajenny and DatModz.
596s Your debate topic is: what is more impressive, Grandmaster PVP title or Legion Raid Inferno titles?
604s DatModz, you will be arguing for PVP titles.
607s Bobajenny, you will be arguing for Inferno titles.
610s YI'll give you both a minute to strategize.
614s How are y'all feeling?
616s I think it's in my opinion, it leans towards more Top Tier PVP.
621s Just because a lot of people have Inferno titles.
624s Doesn't mean it's easy, but I just think it's - whenever I see some of the top tier people like GM, I'm usually more taken back by that, but they're both impressive.
633s So it sounds like Bobajenny might have some challenges in today's topic.
638s I'm biased though.
639s Yeah.
639s Yeah, that's fair.
640s I shouldn't even bother asking you.
643s I don't know.
643s I think Legion Reign titles are impressive.
646s They're cool, yeah.
647s They're common.
648s Yeah, it's a good consolation prize.
649s I'm curious to see what she has to say.
652s All right, debaters, are we feeling ready?
655s Feeling armed and ready?
656s Let's kick things off with Bobajenny, your minute to make your initial argument starts now.
663s Okay, So I can see how top tier PvP can be very, very, you know, notorious.
668s They're like, Oh, damn, this guy has a title that I've never seen before.
671s But let's have a reality check.
674s Not that many people play PVP.
676s If you got Top Tier, there's probably only ten players playing PVP.
679s I'm sorry.
680s But you know, think about, you know, the PVE raids, the Inferno raids.
686s Not only do you have to save your own ass during a PVP, you got to make sure that all the other members are also alive, especially if you're going through Deathless.
696s Not only are you putting in your time, effort, energy, sometimes budget, you're even putting in battle items.
706s You got to try again and again.
708s You're losing your sanity.
709s So I feel like there is more...
713s there's more challenge when it comes to PVE raid...
718s Sorry, there's more challenge when it comes to PVE raiding because you're not only counting on yourself, you're counting on seven other people and you're counting on teamwork, which is why I think PVE rating is more impressive.
730s All right, that was - You were staring into my soul..
734s Well, stare back.
735s You're supposed to listen.
736s All right, DatModz, your one minute to make your argument starts now.
740s Okay.
741s No, you made some good arguments with Inferno Mode raids.
745s They are fun.
745s They are challenging.
746s However, they are scripted.
748s There are guides for them and it's easily bussable.
752s However, when we're talking about PVP, it's a lot more exclusive.
755s Yeah, there's less people playing, but you only have a limited amount of time to get those titles and they're a lot more limited.
760s Only ten people could get a Grandmaster title.
763s How many people can get an Inferno mode title?
766s You also have no time limit on getting Inferno Mode titles.
769s You could go into Inferno Mode one year from now, with people that have done it before, and you could just be the only person that has not got the Deathless clear.
776s In addition, Inferno mode - you're also expending a bunch of your gold.
780s I'd rather take that gold and tap my weapons. When you do PVP and you get Grandmaster, you get 10,000 blue crystals.
787s You can buy pheons.
790s That's pretty good, right?
792s You also get a sick mount and you get a sick title.
796s All right, that was your one minute bow.
799s Bobajenny, you have one minute to respond.
802s So I see your point.
803s You know, it's a limited time only, but aside from it sounding like a great deal at the shopping mall, I think personally Lost Ark is a team player game.
816s If you go into Party Finder, if you see someone that has all the Inferno titles, you're going to be like, Damn, this person knows what they're doing.
824s So you're more likely to choose them over PVP.
827s And alongside with that, PVP - you already kind of know who you're playing with because there's only ten people playing PVP.
835s For PVE, you might get pugs, you have to deal with players of all different calibers.
843s They could be really good players or they could be, you know, kind of normie players.
847s So I feel like the amount of patience and perseverance that you need to get these Inferno titles is way more impressive than PVP.
856s All right, DatModz, do you have one minute for your final response.
860s No, you are right.
861s When you have an Inferno mode title, it does break that barrier to entry in a rage.
864s When someone sees Addicted to Delight, they're like, Wow, this guy is good.
867s But the thing is that it only gets you into the raid, a lot of these things are bust and these players might not be good.
871s So when they start dying over and over again and they're addicted to the floor, you're going to get kicked out of the raid.
876s Or if you can't do Prokel, you're going to get kicked out of the raid.
880s In PVP, you can't be selective of who you're playing with.
883s It's ranked brackets.
884s I can go into the Inferno mode Discord, and I can find a bunch of good players that I know are capable.
889s When you're in PVP, you might get some better players, you might not get some, you might get the worst players.
895s So you're going to have to carry them in that match or do a little better.
899s And also in PVP, it's reactive-based combat.
903s In the moment you're going to be doing stuff, you're gonna have to to be saving your spacebar.
906s You got to be using your immunities, right?
907s You're paralysis immunities.
909s You don't really need to do that in PVE.
911s You know - Oh, okay, here's the health bars.
915s Oh, this is happening.
916s There's a stagger.
916s Okay, this is coming next.
918s We're going to move to the corner of the Sidereal.
920s You kind of know what's coming ahead and it's already planned out.
923s All right, that is your time.
925s I'm going to bring the spectators over so we can discuss the debate and pick a winner.
929s All right.
930s I feel like that was a really solid debate, but I want to hear both of your thoughts.
934s I think DatModz might have got his first win.
937s Yes, I think Bobajenny is right though it's not Hell mode titles - Inferno titles - are impressive, but I think what DatModz said was really true - is that you can get those Inferno titles at any point.
953s You could get a group that has cleared it a year ago.
956s They're really polished at the fight and they can kind of bring you in and make your journey a little bit easier.
961s Whereas in PVP it's a select amount of people that are able to earn it.
965s It's a short period of time when you can earn it.
968s So they're both impressive.
971s But I think DatModz probably had a little bit of a stronger argument.
976s Grentom, I kind of know probably how you're feeling.
979s But yeah, I mean, Jenny, Jenny actually has some really good points as well.
982s So as someone who's done both PVP and Inferno, there are challenges in Inferno that you won't see in PVP and vice versa.
989s So I think it comes down to what you're better at.
992s Some people are just better at like 1v3ing, so even if they have two griefers on their team and people are just staying in spawn - because I've had that happen before - they can still somehow pull out a win.
1002s But in Inferno it's really hard to just solo carry seven other people, especially if they're going for Deathless.
1007s Because if you have people in your group who are squishier and they just get one-shot by a couple of mechs, you've got to restart.
1013s If you're on Gate Three Vykas, and you're at the stagger mech and then someone dies, okay, well, you stop the raid, you go out and you start from Gate One all over again.
1019s So I think they're both very impressive.
1021s They're both impressive.
1022s Yeah, but, I mean, I'm biased.
1025s Well we knew that going into this so sounds like this was a really solid debate, I definitely have some things to think about.
1030s Thank you for your input.
1031s I will send you back.
1032s That was a really solid debate.
1034s But Bobajenny...
1039s She's going to lose.
1041s Bobajenny, unfortunately, you are our Mokoko.
1045s This show with not rigged.
1047s It's all right, Bobajenny, it's okay.
1049s It's all right.
1051s All right.
1051s Thank you for joining us for this week's episode of the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club.
1055s And remember, it's okay, Bobajenny, it doesn't matter, because you can still win in the season finale when the Community votes on who is and who is not a Mokoko.
1063s All right.
1063s We'll see you next week.
1064s Go PVP.
