Lost Ark servers temporarily down (March 17, 2022): Time, maintenance schedule, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Lost Ark Servers will be temporarily taken down today, March 17, 2022, as Smilegate will be conducting its weekly maintenance and introducing updates to certain aspects of the game.

The servers across all the regions will temporarily go offline from 12:00 AM PT / 7:00 AM UTC / 8:00 AM CET and are expected to be down for approximately four hours. However, the downtime can extend beyond that, as there might be complications when patching in the new update.

Lost Ark’s March 17 weekly maintenance will look to introduce a lot of fixes to the MMO, including the much-desired error fix for Daylight Savings Time and provide compensation to those players who were affected by bugs in previous raid events.

Smilegate will be looking to introduce many changes to the game. Mentioned below are the patch notes for the March 17, 2022, weekly server maintenance as stated in their official blog:

1) Bugfixes to Daylight Savings Time

2) Grand Prix compensation

Due to issues with in-game timers confusing when the limited-time Arkesia Grand Prix event took place, Smilegate provides all players with 3,000 Grand Prix event tokens. This currency will automatically be delivered to the player’s Universal Storage.

3) Tytalos Guardian Raid compensation

Players who ran the Tytalos Guardian Raid while it was bugged, Smilegate, will provide compensation for items that may have been lost. This exact compensation will vary per user since players will have consumed different items during their raid but may include the following:

4) Updates to Monthly and Weekly Crystal bonus packs
