Yea another bla bla muh class is not here i get it everyone is tired of these post but Reaper is such a weird case and i kinda wanna hear your serious opinions why the “Classic” assassin that would be in almost or is in every new MMO launch included but not in Lost Ark.

All the MMO veterans will know the holy 5 of classes in MMO’s and that is the Warrior,Mage,Assassin,Priest,Hunter class that you would mostly see as the beginning classes of an MMO and then create different playstyle classes of them.

In Lost ark that is Berserker,Sorceress,Hawkeye,Bard,Reaper if you check out the gameplay and how it feels nostalgic to the classes you played in other MMO’s before.

Warriors were defined by being a bit slow, bulky, fire spells and ofcourse a big sword and we have that guy in LA called Berserker.

The classic mage included always the fire,ice/water,lighting element and like you “Amazon” even acknowledged that this is true you included Sorceress at launch instead Summoner.

Hunter/Bow classes there is not much to explain. A far range dps that also attracted alot of players in the past but faded away with time, we can see that example with Sharpshooter here.

Priests/Healer…well without them we could not even play a mmo except BDO i think lol.
No need to explain. Bard/Paladin.

And at last we have the category “Assassin” the class category that players were most looking for and to play in MMO’s well atleast from my older mmo’s experience could be different for others.
The class that is agile,squishy and has stealth,poison in their kits and would dish out the fastest dps in under one second and somewhat challenging to play how squishy they were.

We have that gameplay in Lost ark but still not in our version and it kinda sucks to all the assassin players to not get to enjoy it like we were used too in other MMO’s.

This is like how Berserker,Sorceress etc would still be missing.
How many of you old school Warrior,Mage mmo players went immediately to pick up Berserker and Sorceress because that is what you always played in MMO’s ?

That is the case for me with Reaper and i bet alot of other players in this community too that will mostly play the “Classic” assassins we were used too.

And no, Deathblade and Shadowhunter are not the classic assassin you would see as the “Base” class and create different subclasses off of it.
Yes they were released first in KR before Reaper so did Arcana,Summoner instead Sorceress.

I do get it for glaivier,destroyer,arcanist,machinist,summoner these are all “different” gamestyles from their traditional “main” class category but reaper is opposite from that.

I kinda want to your hear opinions why the asssassin community got screwd like that while the others didnt. (Mage,Warrior etc players)

Would also to know your reasoning amazon so @Roxx how did this happen ?

To the folk waiting for reaper…what do you play as a substitute ? DB, Shadowhunter ?

Non Assassin players, what is your experience in your older MMO’s regarding the gameplay of the classic assassin and our version of Reaper? Would you somewhat agree ?

Only reason i kinda find that they could potentially milk the most out of Reaper mains because there is still a big following in MMO’s regarding the typical agile,stealth class and the ones waiting for her wont just be “trying” her out if they like her.
If they always play these type of class in their past MMO’s they will blindly just main her without question and dump money.

Cant say the same for glaivier,destroyer,arcanist,machinist,summoner. (We did see it with glaivier)

Please lets just keep it civil and a discussion regarding what the reason could be.

Yea i know im also kinda tired to think about it but it doesnt leave me alone the thought lol.
There was just no real discussion going on except bashing eachother mains releasing first etc.

And Reaper is just a special case from all the other classes that launched later so i really wanted to hear “civil” opinions regarding it.

I mean dont think you gonna read it now if you started off your post like that but hey no worries.

Im still kinda in disbelief how Summoner is still not here or atleast was not on launch

Here, I fixed the title for you.

Or just stop crying for no reason? They announced what classes will be available on the release, they told us that we will be getting a new one every 2 months and there are still people who for some reason refuse to understand that simple concept.

6

Well yea i kinda understand you but even tho i would of created for sure a summoner alt because i also like mages but with different playstyle.
I supported the change to release sorceress because that would be a betray for my post how the “classic” gameplay of classes should be always on launch.

Only scummy thing they did was outright remove it or atleast be released first with reaper to fill out the 3rd subclass instead glaivier and destroyer.

7

Why for no reason ? Did you even read the post. If there is one class that is questionable to not be released earlier is reaper.

If you are new to MMO’s you wont understand what im trying to say here and why im curious what the reasoning is to hold off one of the OG type of gameplay for so long.

I’m with you here. The fact that we don’t have all classes yet just sucks and there is no excuse to it. Doesn’t matter if it is Reaper, Summoner or Artist. We should have gotten them all by now.

Yea it was also a good opportunity if we had all classes at launch they could of gave us artist in May in september aeromancer and a global release in december/january with female berserker.

With this move we would of been atleast on par with KR regarding classes and would enjoy the LOA’s more getting atleast hyped about new classes and test ourselfs instead just watching the streamers.

I stopped reading after this

Did the same :smiley:

Maybe Reaper or “Dagger maiden” or whatever Amazon trolls with is just stealthed in the corner and you just havn’t found it yet?

17

Class release order, was pretty much set in stone around when the Glavier came out (that time when AGS went to Korea to plan stuff with SG), which is why player feedback about what classes should be released first, “logic” such as “Assasins only have 2” is basically worthless to them.

You mean the Deathblade? imo Deathblade looks more like your average MMO Assasin than Reaper, Reaper is more like an “Advance” class version of Deathblade.

Also, I don’t understand why all these Reaper posts always say Reaper is the most popular unreleased class, yet (at least here on the forums) the artist thread is the one with most views and replies. I don’t think class popularity plays a role in the clasas release order and in any case although popular I doubt Reaper is the most popular (Specially true for players from KR and Ru that are playing in NA).

19

Yea its not for me about assassin classes have only 2 subclasses argument but more like reaper should of been instead deathblade/demonic or atleast released early to appease the Assassin community.

Like how they did it with Sorceress instead summoner because well SHE is the classic mage what you also saw in your older MMO’s.

They made the mage community happy, the warriors are happy for their berserker but the ones that play the classic assassin got left out.

20

ok but deathblade/shadowhunter were the first assasin classes to release.

21

I think, and I’m only speculating, the reason they did it, was because the low popularity and difficulty of the class in KR compared to the other 2. Or maybe it was because those 2 were released first in KR.

But we’ll never know for sure.

Oh men, you should have seen the cries and walls of text for summoner, even Roxx said she mained a summoner on the beta and was a bit dissapointed she couldn’t do anything about it. Is just that most Summonist enjoyers gave up on the forums.

Ok, I give you this one.

22

No way is deathblade the face of assassins. Well maybe depends what mmo’s but from my 3 older mmos i played they had stealth,agile,poison, fast attacking animation ( DB charge skills really?)

And i always played that type of class.

Well yea artist is different to reaper. She looks different of a class and gameplay for an mmo class so i can see why the interest comes. Reaper is a OG class that always existed in mmo’s and not existed was always also the original roster of an mmo.

23

Maybe they thought that DB was good enough as an assassin, you may think it’s not but the point still stands that it is lol.

It’s been almost 6 months, assassin players are playing their assassins, not sure what you’re in disbelief over.

Artist, Summoner especially along with reapers are waiting on their classes.

24

Well when you put it like that, makes sense. My vision of an “assasin” class is basically a ninja, mostly a melee class no magic other than a few special habilities, on this note, I can’t understand how SH is an assasin at all, but whatever.

25

But no more then lower then destroyer,arcana,summoner and almost on par with scouter think with shadowhunter too.

Well summoner and arcana was also released before Sorceress and yet we got sorc at launch.

Yea can understand this part but i bet more “Sorceress” mains got happy by that because you cant go wrong with that class if you were always the spellcaster mage in the mmo’s before.

But yea that was a whole different case because they really knew months before they got to play their summoner and then not so i can understand their outrage. (Cant say the same to the rest)
