The creators of Lost Ark address concerns about difficulty changes

Arch lost It is possible that players who have been striving in the game to enter the content of the late game have discovered that some of those challenges were more difficult than expected, but that will change soon. The developer Smilegate RPG announced its plans this week to reduce the difficulties of Guardian Raids and Abyss Dungeons selected according to the players' comments. This arrives at the same time that Abyss Raids were announced, so if you still want a challenge and do not want things to be easier, you will soon have something else to test your constructions.

The decision was explained to lower the difficulties of some of the incursions and dungeons in a publication shared in the lost, this week. The creators reiterated that they recently committed to adjusting the difficulties of T1 and T2 content, but they recognized that some people had concerns about it.

To help alleviate some of those concerns, Smilegate provided some statistics. Some incursions and dungeons, the developer did not say which exactly, they are "completed for less than 10% of the players", so even if it considers that most or all are easy, apparently others do not. Smilegate said it is important to make sure that new players still have fun as they advance instead of choosing to give up.

"These adjustments are based on a data collection and comments, including the game data that showed very low success rates for the participants (with some incursions and dungeons completed for less than 10% of the players)," said Smilegate. "We understand that people can practice and improve in the game over time, but for the initial content of the particular game, we want to make sure that the new players have fun learning and advancing instead of frustrating and giving up".

The developer also clarified that this is not an indicator that future content is always easier and said he does not want to alter the "central experience" of T3 and the content of the final game. The list below was provided to show what is now being seen in terms of reduced difficulty.
