Lost Ark received a hotfix on February 23 that resolved several bugs. The focus was on matchmaking and a trick with the Crystalline Aura, which no longer works.
What was this patch? The hotfix on February 23 is only a few megabytes in size but brought some important changes. The matchmaking for dungeons and PvP was worked on, which caused many problems on the European server in recent weeks.
Another important change concerns the login rewards on the EU-West region servers. These previously provided 44 free days for the Crystalline Aura. However, the update changed the rewards so that there are now additional completions for Una’s Tasks and a rare engraving instead of the Aura and the crystals.
However, those who had already reached the three logins before could keep their extended Aura.
Additionally, a display bug with the “Launch Event” rewards and a bug with the Battle Item Bundle were fixed.
When does the patch come out? The patch was applied at 6:00 AM German time. There was a server downtime of two hours, but since just before 8:00 AM, all servers are active again. So anyone who wants to play now can start right away.
Lost Ark Update on February 23 – Patch Notes
- Applied a fix to help address matchmaking issues. We will continue to monitor matchmaking closely after tonight’s hotfix.
- Fixed an issue with the Launch Event showing an item level 1420 Rapport Chest as the Day 15 reward.
