How to NOT get Gatekept in Lost Ark

gatekeeping is The Great Divide for lost start on one side people who have put in countless hours into learning mechanics want easy breezy homework and on the other side new players are basically shut down from any and all content requiring grouping up I'm going to break down the wise behind this and what to look for to ease your lobbying experience with a Surefire way to get around gatekeeping every single time welcome to the video I am back with another guide for new and returning players on maybe the most controversial aspect of Lost Art this is my fifth vid that looks to Aid new returning players and with my credentials 6,000 Plus hours it may not be shocking to hear that I also gatekeep using my personal experience I will look to break down its many factors and how you can get into lobbies quicker so what is gatekeeping the easy answer is not letting lesser experienced or geared folks into lobbies for better options in the applications process Lobby leaders 95% of the time have the option to scan a variety of of applications to their lobbies through a quick glance at the initial page and then a look at their character page the lobby leader can learn a plethora of info about the user and the character applying like I said 95% of the time folks are comparing applications in one way or the other to the side whom they will let in that more rare 5% is Lobby leaders just allowing anyone in typically on a first come first serve basis or the more rare option letting those lesser roster characters in To Aid the new player experience so what are these factors I'll break them down to categories of most likely likely and less likely to show the indicators used by Lobby leaders to determine if they should let you into their Lobby one of the main ways you can see as soon as someone applies to your lobby eye level this is a popular Reddit thread back when vaulton vikus gold wasn't nerfed basically on ey Lev applications weren't being accepted because why would someone who has 20 recar applications take someone at 1460 when there's 18 other applications with someone at500 plus eye Lev gatekeeping is the most noticeable in a con Recs since having more con gear gets you higher eye level easier you will noticeably do more damage than someone without a con gear I personally am not 1620 yet and there's almost zero chance I get into a 1620 gargo death Lobby since legendary Elixir just hit different the next factor for gatekeeping and likely the most popular form of it roster level there are two forms of experience you get from nearly every form of content in the game character level and roster level experience character experience is useless after level 60 but roster experience is a huge grind and with 6,000 Plus hours I haven't even maxed out with 300 even remotely yet this is the best gauge for quote unquote experience in the game as it takes a whole lot of manual gring to get which is essentially hours put in I can already hear the yelling no this doesn't mean they are better at the game but it does mean they have more quote unquote experience in the game in most cases for this reason is typically the go-to main factor to turn if someone will accept your applications doing weekly content and things like cubes will gradually get your roster level up but if you really want to juice it running story is giga amounts of roster experience additionally doing things like Adventure tomb and especially the early Tis of tower is brainless content that will boost your roster level especially if you have alts the next factor is your build but specifically a decent 5x3 no weird Engravings like crushing fist but a typical 5x3 a plus one always helps but anything less will likely be an immediate turnaway this doesn't fact INF for supports as they can have a 4x3 and get into really any support drought content next up a fairly obvious one titles typically when a new raid is released there's an achievement related to times cleared this could be related to some initial Gates or just the final gate but with the achievement is paired a title these become basically gatekeeping Staples especially for new raids everyone gets and attaches it and becomes the gatekeeping standard for past and future raids until a new one drops for a con it was cn's accessor to show at least one clear notably using the we end Strat then after 10 clears you become one of the thousands now equipping plague Legion Commander the last of this tier is Gem Loadout if you're running level fives in 1540 plus content you will likely get rejected level sevens are bare minimum at least in what I've seen especially bolstered by multiple Express passes giving out level sevens and eights you can obviously do the content without level sevens but at least in my experience it's a baseline factor that is used these next few factors will be segueing into the likely categorization but more so beyond the border between the too first off is card set I know KLC is somewhat gate kept for Kangle and some do gatekeep for losos 30 but typically it is just for losos 18 or its equivalent sets I haven't personally seen or looked to gatekeep for not having losos 30 but if you're running something like LW s Cliff as a DPS there's a good chance you'll get passed over check the card merchants on your map daily as many of these have the required Card Set uh listed at their merchants and these shops have two inventories daily the last of this tier is server and I assume after a few more months we'll be Rel ated to less likely tier to not even be a factor at all and more specifically the jump start server in September 2023 Amazon game studios offered a WIP server experience for new and returning players to quickly catch up and have their own matchmaking to make the experience less toxic after a few months AGS opened the floodgates and merged their markets with the regions and matchmaking was now region based once again I think in the initial few months these servers were heavily gatee kept but I would imagine that has slowly lifted and will continue as time goes by now on to the likely tier first off we have Synergy typically folks will host a lobby with a few friends already in the group and will build outwards looking to get party synergies that will boost their own output this is where classes like death blade or gun Lancer can get an easy ride as their synergies are pretty powerful on some meta classes and really any crit Synergy will get almost an instant accept this leaves a plethora of just damaged synergies feeling disappointed at the closed door a close tie in with synergies is the class itself meta classes with high damage supports with a cleanse on cleanse beneficial content no non on floor POV glass classes and let's say high stagger builds are great examples of certain priority classes will have when Lobby leaders looking to build out their party an example of this is having two mediocre stagger characters and maybe a nonv support on fourman content a high stagger class will get high prioritization in this instance to Aid the Run proper stat accessories is big if you have a greeted 100 quall neck that is your perfect engraving setup but it's one meta stat build like I don't know crit and something like endurance there's a good chance that if they notice you may just get pushed away this is similar if you have a spec only class but for some reason are running only crit if the lobby leader notices once again it may not be great odds for your off meta build one last one of this tier list that will likely move up as we get further into normalizing a 1600 main six roster is elixir the only place that is currently noticeable is gargod death lobbies as lobbies with 1620s will only take 1620s as the damage difference between having 35 or 40 set and not having any at all is massive with the normaliz ization of a roster of six at600 eye level my best guess is this will get worse on the na Service as this did happen in Korea uh with the normalization of roster of six at 1600 eye level now onto the less likely tier car damage is a rare thing to gatekeep and until recently I didn't even realize that people could see your card bonus damage I genuinely thought that the lobby tiles with 5% damage bonus or bust were meme but I guess some people just refuse to take showers until their annual bath from their mother another less than likely option would be a small metastat difference this is slightly different than the previous wrong stat option this refers to assern builds that have slightly tweaks on say just a ring for more efficiency but some folks may not like say a full spec class that doesn't scale as well with spec going with one crit ring in place of the spec the final of the less likely tier is maybe the least likely thing but I have seen it name and character's outfit if you have a name that is even remotely bought like it may be GG's for you in some cases additionally some folks may get priority to Lobby because the fit their character is rocking hits some sort of nostalgia bomb once again I think this is the least likely thing to get gatee kept for but I have seen it so I thought it was noteworthy I provided many different ways in which you can get gatee kept as a newer player typically most of these are already sufficient in players who have been playing for a while whilst you new and returning players will be in the lobby Simulator for an unnecessary amount of time now at the start of the video I did promise one foolproof method for bypassing this and that is make friends it sounds simple enough but by simply joining a friendlier Guild on your server and joining their Discord you'll get into lobbies at a much more frequent speed when I was first getting into this game at release I played with some Pals as our first MMO basically we did vault in together as a four pair and lobbied with the other four I learned quickly the lobbying experience of lost AR and this was super early into what would become a staple of the game I found that there was an enormous amount of players who would lie about their experience fake it to you make it style the main issue I found with this was like 50% of these people who didn't know the raid would rage about any and all mistakes and not take accountability that it was them this would typically result in me Vibe checking people in the lobby to see if they're quote unquote chill having someone learn a raid who isn't toxic is significantly less straining than the other option so when my pals eventually gave up at vikus I subjected myself to getting gatee kept into Oblivion as at the time I played probably the most gate kept character in the game the Berserker after months plus of dealing with this pain I saw a cringey guild advertising needing more members and out of desperation I joined immediately I was offered an opportunity to join a static for the vikus even though some didn't know the mechs explaining to them was easy enough and was a fraction of the time compared to the lobby simulator and actually allowed me to practice on polls fast forward a few months and I began recruiting folks for the Discord regardless of the experience but to have more people be able to experience more raids and not have to be stuck in a Lobby simulator I don't love teaching Mass amounts of people raids especially since there's this phenomenon in this game where people will not watch guides or will glaze over one in 5x speed and expect you to spend like 3 hours teaching them blind for some reason but there are some people out there who do enjoy this and regardless of if you're joining a learning Discord joining a guild on your server assuming it's not one of the sweaty ones is a great first step this is because if they know you somewhat they will typically invest in you regardless of your roster eye level or experience so that they can get a smoother time weekly typically it's a win-win for both parties this is why it's my foolproof method for getting past gatekeeping and lost art I am super introverted but I'm telling you this one method saves me so much time and stress weekly another great option for this is the lfg Discord it has lots of friendly people looking to teach but also just Lobby up or just make Statics I've used it plenty of times for new content Statics so it's definitely worthwhile I will have it linked in the description below in the end I don't hate gatekeeping it serves a purpose for me when I'm at Homework phase of content and I just want to coast and relax with similar experience experienced folks I do though see its negative aspects on newer and returning players a reminder though there are typically six plus DPS whom apply to a Lobby immediately so they may just have not seen your application and if they did bypass then it's likely for one of the previous reasons but don't be so discouraged hopefully my highlighting of the factors used in gatekeeping based on their likelihood may help you correct factors to make the experience of the lobby simulator smoother I would definitely push you to Branch out on your server with guilds or even try out the lfg Discord as an int myself I didn't love this option but I'm telling you it makes the game experience significantly better playing alone or just with a few newer players can be a terrible experience so just try to take that extra step to experience a better version of the game I hope this video helped check out my last video with a lengthy guide on buying meta builds for cheap especially for newer players I've made a couple of lost Arc videos geared specifically to the newer and retarding player crowd so check out that playlist where there are a couple of them grouped together as always I will answer any questions in the comments below and if you want to see something in the future let me know until the next one goodbye
