I kinda find it weird that the two classes that should of been released first are the last ones to be released

Well we all know the story for Summoner so i wont explain much but yea she was in the beta and than got replaced by Sorceress because of “rework” but do you think guys that had an eye on Summoner would of cared if they had to redo all the gear in a few months ?

I mean look at Artillerist since the new patch they have to do some regearing but i bet ya if they had the option to play on day 1 or wait 8+ months to play dont think none of them would care to spend gold again to regear.

Ofcourse there were also only 2 Mage classes another weird decision she was not earlier in the game.

And now for the other class…Reaper.

This game literally started off without a OG Assassin that i feel like this is the only MMO i have played without an Assassin class.
This is like starting without a Berserker or Sorceress in a new MMO launch. The bulky male, kinda slowish type of gameplay with a big sword and flame effects that you all see in a “New” mmo as a base class.
Sorceress ? Not much to say your OG spellcaster fire,ice,lighting element that was always and is one of the most popular class in mmo’s was also on launch.

There is no surprise that Berserker and Sorceress are the most played here because they are the OG gameplay that players fell in love when they started their MMO’s journeys back then.

So why did Reaper got left out ? When that class has the gameplay and skillset of a OG Assassin that players got drawn into it when they started their MMO journey.
The most mobile class, has stealth,poison,fast animations and wears small “daggers”…oh wait
we literally have that class in this game called “Reaper”.

Shouldnt all the “Base” classes in a new mmo to be here on the start and then create subclasses for it with different playstyles then we are used too ?

I dont know how many of you would agree but back than MMO’s started off usually with a
Warrior,Mage,Assassin,Hunter and a support type of class.
Our version of Lost ark also started with those classes with Berserker,Sorceress,Sharpshooter,Bard except the OG Assassin gameplay with Reaper.

I mean it’s all done already and there is no going back but i kinda wish they would do now a double release with Reaper&Summoner in november so we can start of the new year with a “New” base class called “Specialisation” with artist and aeromancer.

as a summoner i wouldn’t have cared if 7 months after starting i had to change stuff slightly because of a rework.

artilerist will be doing the same.

plus if it was a delay for the rework wouldn’t they have released it right after the rework (so next) just like what happned with destroyer/arcana?

What’s Deathblade to you ? A tank ?

An “assassin” class that feels clunky to play because of her 12759 supercharge skills aint a assassin…so what you think about shadowhunter ?

A guy that always played assassins in mmos and i mean the OG gameplay with being the most mobile has stealth etc wont pick DB over Reaper.

All those Deathblades and Shadowhunters are just reaper mains in disguise. Well some of them.

Lost Ark originally didnt launch with Assasins in Korea, Shadowhunter and Deathblade were added after Lance Master, then Scouter released and after Scouter it was Reaper.

No matter what theme you have in ur head doesnt matter.
Fact is we already started with the Assasin class.

Also you’re clearly biased if you think DBs and Shadowhunters are Reapers in disguise.

Well her rework was one month ago kinda and i bet the plan for scouter was already set for september.

I’m indifferent, those classes are not popular, not meta, kinda squishy and have better alternatives in similar but far more viable classes.

Now summoner is in the middle of rework, it seems bit OP for now but I doubt all this power will be retained in the game. Will still be expensive AF to gear and run probably, as she is now.

If youre into assassin playstyle, DB got you covered. Excellent class atm but these classes do pass thru deliberate “reworks” to keep the meta shifting and people spending.

I am a female zerker main what do you think how long I have to wait for western release?

9

Summer 2023 lol

but realistically speaking we dont know anything about her and shes not released anywhere so u dont count.

10

So why did we start off with sorceress then when she wasnt even in Korea when we got the global announcement that Lost ark comes to EU/NA ?

Lancemaster got released first because she was the most requested and they wanted score some goodwill points after all those launch and argos drama.

11

We started with Sorceress because of the hype the class had around it as a more traditional mage. Also China just announced they are getting Lost Ark and Summoner isnt a launch class either. So i dont know why she was left out from two versions of the game.

Regardless, i dont care which releases first as i plan to make both reaper and summoner 2 of my 6 mains.

And also Summoner doesnt need to run double class engravings anymore, more and more people switch to one engraving now. The only thing making her expensive is the 6 damage gems.

14

See "traditional " mage you said it and for the assassin community reaper IS the “traditional” assassin.

I mean dont know what mmo’s you played before but assassin was all about being the most agile, stealth,poison in their kit and being squishy but doing the fastest dmg in a second.

That is literally Reaper in lost ark. Thats why i just find it unfair that the warrior,mage,hunter community got their “traditional” class but not the assassin community.

have been*

I don’t think it’s any weirder than anything else thats happened on our version of LA

You dont represent the Assasin community, you represent only yourself and you made it quite clear.

Also its what it is, i only care about learning why Summoner wasnt a launch class for 2 regions.

Lost Ark has an assasin category with 3 classes based around that theme, wether you disagree or not with deathblade and shadowhunter doesnt matter, you arent designing the world of the game.

18

I bet ya if i would make a poll somewhere here or in reddit regarding which assassin feels the true OG between those 3…reaper would be #1.

But idk seems Lost ark has alot of “new” mmo players that they dont know what the OG assassin gameplay feels like back in the day.

It doesnt matter what you consider “OG Assasin” because a developer can do whatever they want with them. They can make an Assasin class that plays like Berserker and its still gonna be an Assasin class for the world of Arkesia.

Also…forums and reddit are very tiny pieces of the entire community, they wont prove any point you make.

20

But it matters that you claim sorceress is the “traditional” class ? Ok.

That i kinda agree because myself i started off being a mage player with fire,ice,lighting element but slowly went to the assassin category because of all the things i said what an assassin is about.

Heck i didnt even play WoW and the description of the assassin class there has the same kit like reaper here…stealth,poison,agile etc.

And you said the developers can do what they want…why did they create Reaper in the first place then ? Because they also know how MMO’s started of with the warrior,mage,assassin class. They literally created an OG type of gameplay with reaper.
