In Lost Ark, the new update on August 3 has changed how you can get gold from certain sources. An annoying oversight resulted in a button being forgotten – which means players now have to click a lot.
What has changed? With the weekly update in Lost Ark, the game has introduced a mechanic that is meant to further combat bots and “Real Money Traders”. This means that you can only use gold from certain sources very limited for 3 days.
These sources also include characters that were leveled up using a Powerpass. Any gold they earn remains locked for the first 3 days after creation. To be able to separate that properly, Lost Ark has also introduced a new currency.
The gold that you cannot spend is received in 50, 20, or 5 gold coins. You can double-click on these to receive the corresponding amount of gold.
Annoying oversight leads to click frenzy: However, the developers made a small mistake, as a crucial button was simply forgotten with the new item. You cannot use the new coins as a stack like many other items.
So when you receive your gold, for example, a lot at once from your weekly quests, you have to click for quite a long time before it actually reaches you. Players are cursing about this, who already have between 50 and 774 gold coins lying around and have to deal with this annoying chore.
At least the players can enjoy the beautiful graphics of Lost Ark:
“I had to click 774 times because I bought the small bags”
How are players reacting? They are quite annoyed at the moment. Because at times, they have to click for many minutes just to get the gold they have already earned. It particularly hits the users who choose the small bags for the weekly reward.
Because there you only get the 5 gold coins. One user even reports 774 pieces that he had to click individually. In the medium variant, players sometimes have to open 200 of the coins, and even if you take the risk of the large bags, you are not freed from clicking.
People are primarily annoyed by the oversight itself. “They only needed to implement a single button,” writes a user on reddit and receives a lot of agreement. Although almost all commentators assume that the next patch will fix the issue, players remain annoyed.
What do the fans say? We would like to share some of the comments here so you can get an idea of the mood. They come from two different reddit threads on the topic.
- FantasticBreakfast writes: “I hope when they fix this, they also bring a general option to use everything in a stack. The usual 30 at once is way too little for over 700 coins.”
- Sinniee tries to mediate: “Okay guys, calm down. It could be worse. They just overlooked it and it will definitely be fixed with the next reset.”
- Janitalia says: “I have no idea, it was kind of fun to open all of that. Like a loot explosion. Sorry, I’m just trying to be positive.”
- Sweaty Painter writes: “They must have simply forgotten the button.”
What do you think? Did you also have to click like a crazy person, or are you waiting for the next patch? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.
