that can be said for any class too
Got a Bard Like It and play it a lot. Since im a person who goes for efficiency 9 out of 10 times its only 1505.
Made a pally…boring as hell. Became a Boss Rush Slave.
Artist? Wont make one playing one sup ist my limit i think. And even If i we’re to make one. I wouldnt push her up to current Raids. Because efficiency again.
And a lot of people i talked with feel the same. (Pally or Bard be like 50/50).
Not sure it will help that much. Wild guess being 1/10 groups get 2 Artists. One of them replacing a bard or pally to become a slave.
Again: I disagree because not any class will fix or at least alleviate the support shortage.
You might want to fact check yourself there. Artist in KR is getting close to 4% even at end game level Akkan hard. It might even get higher than the paladin count given more time. While the bard that’s been in the game for way too long outshines everything.
Give a class some time and people can get it to play in end game.
Compare that to representation of the newest DPS (Aeromancer) that only has around 1.7% and you see that people need time to hone to play the class they want.
PS: I wish we had API access to our servers to fact check populatons like this but sadly we all know it would be 80% sorc bots anyway.
PPS: Of course there is still a shortage 78.3% to 21.6% but it is not that bad compared to our clown fiesta of 20 open lobbies on every region not finding any supports. We can only estimate our populations though. It’s time for the public API AGS!

AGS is shooting themselves in the foot if Artist is not released in February. Whoever thought April was a good idea is a utter moron.

3.8% for something thats been out for nearly a year,on a server thats been stacking mats for a year, and akkan has been out for some time now too, not very convincing
if anything, it shows how insignificant it is tbh
also paladin is pretty unpopular in kr since the beginning, i think its more popular over here
also as far as i know ppl drop aero even faster than artist coz its a flop
so its gonna stay there for a while -source trust me bro
well i only heard it from streamers so cant rly add more to it
i d expect that number to hover around maybe 2% for our version after about 1-2 month when the hype died out and most enjoyers finished whaling on it
imo our version is a lot worse when it comes to dps to supp ratio
something like 90 to 10 at high ilvl
and around 80 to 20 mid tier cause a lot of ppl have a support alt for valtan and vykas, and stops like before clown at 1470
so yeah, artist still wouldnt change anything of significance even on the long run
cant say if slayer would top those numbers since we dont know anything about it
it might be a completely flop class like aeromancer that just ends up as an alt or lopang
also when was that chart made

that is probably sg giving them a time estimate when it will be ready to be released with the alterations, keep in mind we are not their main focus so its probably just a side project for them
i bet if the class was not a child like model it would be released in feb without any hassle
Hell no. We need supports not a 16th dps added to everyone’s rosters… That can wait until end of next year for all I care.

Since the public API updates very frequently the data is less than a day old. Have a look yourself: https://loawa.com/stat/classes
I made the screenshots with my post. So they should be quite accurate of the current state on korean servers.

Arist is know in KR like the forgotten class, everyone was so hyped anjd after 1445 most of the people stopped playing her. she will change nothing here cus people dont like to play support, they want big numbers

They dont want to release this character
You know why ?
Because in some “eyes” she is a little girl
And they indeed will release Slayer in February, but 2024.
Also, AFAIK in Korea Artist is third most played class, so your point about her not being relevant is invalid.
They need the additional time to censor all the outfits.
and also the most dropped class so my point still stands 
just coz something was created in a large number out of hype doesnt mean its good or gonna stick
I guess everyone has to go trough this whose main wasn’t released at the start. Same thing happened with summoner too. Reaper got released a month earlier than brel but summoner don’t. Reapers are able to do brel 16 at this point but summoner don’t or only CEO players who put 100k euro in the game. They don’t care about player’s feedback. Summoner got huge hype just like artists so they release it together with the raid. Business man, money talks.
Bard is the most popular class in KR. Please educate yourself before making ridiculous comments.
I didn’t really notice any hype for Summoner. There was some arguing during release when she was replaced by Sorc, but other than that I barely saw any mention of Summoner. It certainly isn’t anywhere close to the attention Artist is getting, tho I admit censoring did “help” to bring some additional eyes on her. I don’t really see much of that class in the game either.
I think they might have released her sooner and only a month after Reaper precisely because it was low value content, tho personally I think if they waited till January and planned for Artist in April then 3 month gap wouldn’t look so bad as their current plan of 4 months. Not the first or last dumb decision by our beloved duo of AGS+SG.
what’s the point of releasing this class when more people will have quit by then, this game is still suffering from constant dc’s which this team is not solving, all we get is the same shitty response we’re looking into it, we’re looking into it, hey did you know, we’re STILL looking into it
should be fired for incompetence but we live in a woke world

When did i say bard wasnt? Bard might be popular but paladin and artist are bellow 5% lol. Supports are the less played class and when people do it are alts 3x3 or maybe 4x3 with pruple and some yellow gems. I have 6 supports roster and played in RU/KR. Sit down girl
