Lost Ark Dev Tracker

I’ll always share and crosspost here of course, but in this case it was some pretty big news, so much more exciting to have a lil surprise announcement than drop a forum post first

Unfortunately we won’t have a public API at launch, this could be revisited in the future hopefully

Hi there,

Unfortunately this will not be changing prior to launch due to my previous mentions in this thread. We may revisit this post launch, and if/when that happens we will provide an opportunity for players to change their names without cost

I most recently said we were evaluating the timeline, and that timeline has been evaluated and set! While things are moving quickly so close to launch (which is normal) we were planning on announcing on stream today – I understand wanting info as soon as possible in many cases, but for something like this since the moment was so close we wanted to celebrate with the community on stream so I couldn’t spill the beans

This is correct!

Dragging this post up to confirm the Berserker rework will be present at launch!

Greetings heroes,

Today we wanted to share that Lost Ark’s recent upgrade to DirectX 11 will be available in our version of the game at launch! This means that you will see improved framerates and performance, leading to an overall smoother gameplay experience.

As always, thank you for your patience as we worked to integrate this upgrade into our version of the game. We’ll see you in Arkesia next week!

No plans for it at this time unfortunately

There is a Twitch Drop that will be available for everyone who signed up for the Creator Program. Stay tuned for more information on that. But, to be as clear as possible, that is unrelated to the Legends of Lost Ark event and the rewards for that event.

Not before launch, but we want to revisit that in the future (and if/when that happens we would provide a unpaid opportunity for name changes for players already in the game)

There aren’t many changes we can put in place before launch at this point, but we are definitely willing to revisit chat filters in the future – appreciate the suggestion!

This version of Lost Ark will be available in the following North America, Europe, Latin America, and Oceania regions:

Aland Islands (Finland), Albania, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominica, The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Faroe Islands (Denmark), Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar (UK), Greece, Grenada, Guatemala, Guernsey (UK), Guyana, Haiti, Holy See, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man (UK), Italy, Jamaica, Jersey (UK), Kosovo, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Montenegro, New Zealand, Nicaragua, North Macedonia, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Suriname, Svalbard & Jan Maye...

There is nothing banning the use of any languages in chat; even if preferred language servers are put in place at some point in the future, using different languages would not be strictly enforced or bannable

We are discussing the potential for this, but since it is not currently a feature we will need to discuss with SGR to see if it can be developed and implemented smoothly (and at this point our launch build is locked in, so it would not be available at launch if it happens)

While errors causing issues when communicating in languages other than English have been improved, I do not have an additional update to share at this time
