Lost Ark Patch Notes For Free-To-Play Launch Include More Than A Dozen Fixes

gamespot.com:

Smilegate's newly launched PC MMO Lost Ark is getting a hotfix today, February 11, to address a number of issues in time for the game's free-to-play launch. Servers for players in the early access period are offline currently, but should be back at around 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET with a number of improvements.

Area chat has been fixed with this newest update, allowing players to chat with others nearby. Additionally, Fusion material rewards have been increased to help with player progression, while Mari's Secret Store now shows regional time based on the local server as opposed to UTC.

The voice chat UI is being fixed, too, so it displays names properly instead of «Unknown Player.» Additionally, the title «Nightmare,» which was showing blank, is now reinstated. Additionally, the Stronghold Ceremony and With Gratitude quest cinematics previously were missing voice over, but it's now been added. You can see the full hotfix patch notes below, as shared by Smilegate.

Lost Ark was released in South Korea back in 2019 but it just released this week in other parts of the world. Players who bought the Founder's Pack could get started February 8, while everyone else is getting in to the free-to-play game today, February 11. The game is published by Amazon, which is also behind the MMO New World.
