Pretty crazy considering they basically missed out on EU primetime.

 

[AJUMP23]

I played the prologue had a good time I will play some more.

 

[Fuz]

So far, it's doing crazy queue numbers.

 

[SSfox]

So this is on PC only?

 

[Holammer]

So this is on PC only?

For now, no plans for consoles yet.

 

[Sygma]

This game is gonna be dead af once people hit the pay wall end game. RIP

What do you get out of talking out of your ass tho

 

[Liljagare]

Good job on them servers..

 

[The_Mike]

Tried it today for like an hour.

I like the sorcerers fire spells, they look cool.
But the game is nothing special. It feels like it's a game I've already played, so feels kinda generic.

 

[cheststrongwell]

I don't know if I can handle not being able to skip these awful cutscenes.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

I played it for three hours. Very slow start, awful cutscenes, incredibly linear like every Korean MMO... idk if I'm gonna keep playing.

all i needed to read to know i wont be downloading

 

[Kaachan]

We've now hit the 1 mil mark!~

 

[Sygma]

Completely expected, following always has been huge through years and pvpers finally have a solid title to play for free

 

[BossLackey]

I played it for three hours. Very slow start, awful cutscenes, incredibly linear like every Korean MMO... idk if I'm gonna keep playing.

The campaign is just to familiarize you with mechanics/skills. It fast-tracks you to max level. The game doesn't even start until then.

 

[LOLCats]

Oh God I hadn't heard of this and it's a Korean fucking game

I am fucking screwed... I'm gonna go install this today.

omg, watched some twitch, looks sick

Pejo Fake Fuz you guys try this Yet?

 

[Bernd Lauert]

We've now hit the 1 mil mark!~

It could realistically reach 1.3m and become #2 of all time, after PUBG.

Steam always gets its concurrent records on Sundays, so let's see tomorrow.

 

[Subterranean]

Put in about 2 hours last night, not going to completely judge the game on the early introduction portion and wait to see what late game entails but I didn't like the UI/menus. Though pro tip for you all, when pulling up the overlay map hold down middle mouse button and you can drag the map to the side. I much prefer it to the mini-map.

 

[Javthusiast]

All thanks to waifus. Diablo, nobody knows what that is or is craving that gameplay style.

 

[Holammer]

So it's installed and ready, which server EU is English speaking or should I just bite the bullet and roll on a US server?

 

[BennyBlanco]

This any good?

I'm balls deep in path of exile new update but I'm kinda tired of running this same campaign over and over

 

[demented waffle]

Probably better off going on an NA server if you don't mind the ping.

server status

All EU servers are full.

Pejo Fake Fuz you guys try this Yet?

Yeah, trying it. Not impressed tbh. Combat is uninteresting so far and it's kinda boring (level 14 now).
And I can't roll a MALE assassin, literally unplayable.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

I got 10,000 XP for riding my horse over a bridge, I don't care what you all say, I'm loving it.

 

[Honey Bunny]

The people want their waifu simulators

 

[RoyBatty]

1,248,432 right now

EDIT:

 

[skit_data]

Dafuq's going on with this game? It just passed DOTA2 in peak concurrent players!

I've barely heard anything about this game before today. Realize how unplugged I am from most parts of gaming.

 

[Polelock]

Its a pretty generic arpg but it fills the Diablo dopamine pretty well. I'm not minding it. Cutscenes aren't great but its serviceable

 

[Mithos]

Been waiting to get back in for hours(?) since I accidentally closed steam and the game shut off.
Started at ~14-15.000in queue, down to ~2600 now...

I just logged in immediately with no queue. What region are you playing in?

 

[Mithos]

Europe, Sirius server.

 

[Fuz]

IMHO it will go the way of Wolcen.

 

[recursive]

Europe, Sirius server.

I am in NE USA, can't remember server name but they were all "Busy" when I logged in.

 

[JokerMM]

1,321,363 now
i cannot fucking believe it passed CSGO. fucking madness
the thirst for a new good MMO is so real

 

[LOLCats]

Yeah, trying it. Not impressed tbh. Combat is uninteresting so far and it's kinda boring (level 14 now).
And I can't roll a MALE assassin, literally unplayable.

lol, yeah gonna try tonight

 

[Bo_Hazem]

The diablo starvation is real!! Blizzard dropped the ball again.

 

[dorkimoe]

itll be under 300k in two weeks

 

[JokerMM]

you know, i think if Diablo 4 releases on steam, the numbers are gonna be batshit insane

 

[Fuz]

The diablo starvation is real!! Blizzard dropped the ball again.

Giving the players what they actually want instead of what suits think they want WORKS, who would have known?

 

[Ogbert]

Not for me.

Combat is done well, but I can't handle games with a constant level of free to play bullshit layered over the top.

 

[Holammer]

First impression? It's not for me. Going in blind I expected a bit more Diablo than Korean flavor of the month MMO.
Everything about it is stupid. Chosen one backstory, select your prestige class, a boring long ass prologue & lore dump, tons of systems and attacks right out of the gate. You are level 10 now and and here's your horse, don't let the world chat confuse you. Because it sure looks like God confused their language.

All the motivation I should need a is a dying guy outside the church giving me a quick lowdown before he croaks.

 

[Gaelyon]

This any good?

I'm balls deep in path of exile new update but I'm kinda tired of running this same campaign over and over

Despite the camera angle it has nothing more in common with PoE (or Diablo). It really is a MORPG (not Massive, just Multiplayer Online RPG) with a ton of content (the game is like 3-4 years old with massive updates), a huge end game grind raids/dungeon and side activities. The main campaign is just an appetizer. So it's good but grindy, you must like this genre to appreciate it, and the art direction is classic korean fantasy which might be a hit or miss.

 

[LOLCats]

character movement animations is from like 2007.

 

[Tg89]

man this game sure has an absolute ton going on at 50.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

character movement animations is from like 2007.

Are you serious ? Animations is way better than Diablo 3 a game released in 2012

 

[Algan]

The situation of European servers is absolutely insane.

 

[lefty1117]

It's alright. Not sure how long I will keep up with it. There's an over the top feel to it, like all the animations and stuff are just a bit EXTRA and it kind of makes me tired. IDK I'm going to keep at it, it's free, but there are lotta games coming in the next week or two so idk...

 

[BadBurger]

Sorry if late:

Lost Ark becomes the second most played game in Steam history after just 24 hours

The Diablo-like MMO only launched 24 hours ago.

[TheMan]

IMHO it will go the way of Wolcen.

This game could probably lose 90% of it players and still be more successful than Wolcen. Funny how the positive WOM on that one turn so ugly so fast. I actaully forgot I owned this lo.
