Add me as another waiting for the artist.
Mostly because I think her powers look AWESOME. I love the way some of the powers draw things and that giant carp power is nifty looking. The pogo stick is just hilarious.
I really hope we get her in June, kind of annoyed with the release schedule up to this point honestly. That’s not a dig at the devs or anything, I’m sure people are enjoying the current classes, I’m just waiting for this one.
My personal theory of soon versus later on Artist release:
Sooner:
RU and JP most likely having Artist release in June.
Shes one of the easier classes not released yet. (Reaper and Arcana especially are high skill floor and Summoner and Scouter second.
The lack of supports and Bards popularity is half of its popularity in KR.
Highest demanded character release.
Harder and harder content as we progress requires supports to be in the raid (Valtan) and AGS claimed they’re releasing classes on what matches best with the content being released.
Later:
She doesnt have that many skins, so releasing her now would limit the skins AGS decides to release to us as they claim they will only release skins that all classes released have one of.
Shes the latest released character.
The “loli” drama surrounding her and dissenting opinion.
Roxx claimed both theyre releasing classes to match content release but also claimed they will probably release classes in original order. Both conflicting info and subject to change.
The 3rd point in the later section is literally like a combined 5 people across all social media websites and the forums included. It feels a bit damaging to recognize their voice as an opinion or the shit they create as drama, when it’s just low tier and low effort shitposting most of the time.
Other than that, she has a fair amount of skins. Like 10 or 15, if not more. Not counting the craftable skins
Nice work. I think ‘highest demanded character release’ is debateable unless you have statistics to back up your claim. A single survey on the official forums show a certain demand for the class, but I don’t think its indicative of the overall demand across most players.
Regarding Later:
Arcanist was supposed to release with Destroyer initially, so it is possible they release Arcanist first.
Skins for Artist require a different body set, so more work for the team when they release ‘general’ skins that are not based on subclasses
Roxx basically confirmed that Artist isn’t planned at the moment in another thread a couple of hours ago
How is difficulty of a class a factor in the release schedule? If it were, I would actually say that this is an argument for a later release of Artist, since all post-release classes have been on the lower end of difficulty (Glaivier and Destroyer, even Sorceress if you count her in). Thus Arcanist and Reaper are the more likelier choices when considering skill ceiling.
This might be a warm take but I genuinely think the whole “generic skins for all classes” thing won’t be happening. They would also need to add those skins to the KR server (and the others,) but KR for sure because the original players won’t stand for having missing content that only a different server has and would have an extreme shitstorm about it.
This is always how it goes in Asian games that get a release in the West. Any unique content we get, they also get, and I don’t think SG will modify their game just to fit 1 server, unless it’s things that no one else would want. It legit sounded just like an excuse to delay skins when they said that, and it still does tbh.
2, 3 or 4 would be nice if any of them win.
1 for me is kinda meh, nice design, but not my cup of tea and also you need to take in consideration, the winner skin will be also available for new upcoming class - Aeromancer, so graffiti style for Aeromancer?.. no… And the 5th one for me is instant pass, is this knife, spatula with paint? giving me weird vibe
Personally tho, I would vote for second one, design of weapon is just too good
Yeah I’m in the same boat. I want 2 3 and 4 almost equally. 2 Would prob look nice in the game, 3 and 4 as they are light now I prefer cuz of the art, but maybe I wouldn’t like them ingame? Yeah can’t decide, they should just add all of them lmao
I’m actually not a fan of the wing on the weapon, I’d prefer if it was a normal wing from the back part.
1 is whatever to me, yea it’s unique but not really into the theme, and 5 is also kinda meh. Could look cute ingame but yea dunno. I’d say it’s gonna be pretty close between 1 2 and 3 when it comes to the actual votes.
Agreed
1 isnt my cup of tea.
2 is perfect though on the sexier side the weapon is mind blowing.
3 has a gorgeous skin and the fan weapon is so unique
4 also not my cup of tea she looks like Barbara from Genshin
5 I like the outfit but the weapon is weird… is that blood on a butter knife?
I dont know how the first one isnt with the theme?
She is a ‘graffiti’ artist…
I think that…
1…Graffiti Artist is cool.
2… Calligrapher has a fantastic weapon.
3… Whatever the third one is… I love the outfit… lol
4… The white and blue outfit is nice but is a runner up.
5… I dont like the sleeves on the last one and a knife with red paint is too much. They all are very good, and I think they ALL should be future skins…
