Lost Ark: The big May update is coming today – maintenance is ongoing, patch notes are here
As previously announced by publisher Amazon Games and Smilegate, out today, May 19, 2022, the packed May update for Lost Ark. The highlight innovations of the patch read as follows:
How long are Lost Ark servers offline?
However, before we can jump into the new endgame content like the Legion raid Valtan or try out the new Destroyer class, we have to do the obligatory maintenance first. The official announcement reads: “The hiatus for the update will begin on May 19 at 9:00 AM CEST (7:00 AM UTC) and is expected to last 4 hours.“So the servers should be back online by 1:00 p.m. We’re keeping an eye on the servers for you and will update the message as soon as something happens.
New cosmetic items for the shop
In fact, we keep seeing people on the forums and in game calling for more cosmetic skins for the shop. The developers comply with this request. You can purchase the following items through Crystals or Royal Crystals in the shop.
