Greetings, adventurers!

The Lost Ark servers will be coming down on Friday, February 11th at 5 AM PT (1 PM UTC) for a hotfix. Downtime is estimated to last up to 4 hours.

Issues being addressed in this hotfix include the following:

• Fixed area chat, which now will allow all players to talk to other players in a given area.

• Fusion Material rewards from the Welcome Challenge have been increased to better support player progression.

• Mari’s Secret Store will now display the regional server time instead of UTC.

• Fixed quest dialog UI to avoid text overlap on certain 4K resolutions.

• Player names will no longer be shown as “Unknown Player” in Voice Chat UI.

• The words “Royal Crystals” and “Crystalline Aura” are now displaying in non-English languages in the Steam overlay when finalizing a transaction.

• Fixed the title “Nightmare” which was displaying as blank.

• World bosses now drop the proper gear for the Martial Artist classes.

• Added an option for Voice Over on the Character Selection screen.

• Sorceress audio now plays when playing in a non-English language.

• All classes now have audio when using voices 2, 3, or 4 in a non-English language.

• VO is now present in the “Stronghold Ceremony” quest cinematic.

• VO has been added for Kazeros in the “With Gratitude” quest cinematic.

Thank you for your patience, and we’ll see you back in Arkesia soon!
