Initial reactions are extremely positive
What does the community say? The initial reactions under the Twitter post of Lost Ark are very positive. People are extremely excited about the updates and practically overwhelm each other with compliments. The comments range from “great patch notes” to “This is exactly what I call a good update”.
The mood seems to be saved for now, though it has already improved recently. Especially the change that Power Passes can now be bought and that it is easier to reach Gearscore 1,370 is very well received.
This makes it easier for fans to get new characters into the endgame and to switch their class or push their main character by farming materials with them.
