What is happening to Summoner?

@Roxx @Shadow_Fox I think I can safely say that I’m speaking for all summoner players when it comes to this, and this is not a whining post, we just want to know why:

  1. Summoner was removed from launch last minute after people bought the founder’s pack hoping to use it for the class.
  2. Why summoner wasn’t a priority in class release when she was promoted to be in the game and teased for only to disappoint many players hoping to play her in NA.
  3. Is she getting reworked? Many people are under the impression she is getting a class rework which is the reasoning why she keeps getting pushed back, but we have not heard any official statements stating this. If she is having a class rebalance/rework we would appreciate you being transparent with us so we aren’t disappointed every class release hoping we can finally play our favorite class that we’ve been expecting to play for almost a year now. All we want is to know when she’s being released and why she’s being delayed.

would be pretty nice to ever have some kind of communication on this issue at the very least.

  • promoting the class in promotional art before releasing the game
  • promoting it with founders pack cosmetics
  • letting us play the class in November and it being one of the most popular classes in that beta test and was fully functional
  • her still to this day being shown in the mage class preview video " Classes Series - Mage" on the western lostark youtube channel
  • her being used in the very recent image (along with reaper tbf) promoting yoz’s jar legendary skins

I feel we’ve been a quite a bit more patient than i’d have expected with this, only having one thread we really have prayed in over and over. at this point it would just be nice to get some answers of why she was taken from us, why she’s still not back, and when we can expect her. because if i have to wait until Jan to play the game i’d be better off not playing the game until then to avoid burnout and stress.

Yes it’s very disheartening to constantly be reminded that the very first mage class is not even in the game. I don’t understand the logic behind that since she has quite a dedicated fan base even if it isn’t a lot compared to sorceress.

Would be nice to see what they have to say.

It still has founders pack cosmetics, the skins that have released for a limited time with each new class are classed as founders packs cosmetics, like the current limited destroyer skin, that’s literally his founders pack skin

The founders skin will still come with her when she releases

But I think it’s safe to say she won’t be releasing until November at the earliest as with the 2 month relesse schedule I doubt very much they would release 2 mages in a row unfortunately

From what I read about Summoner - its most expensive class otherwise feels weak. If its true mean people who start it as 1st characters (especially people without any exp ingame) will have rly hard time. I guess they decide to release it later when many people have exp ingame and market is not so empty.
I wanna test her also but I wanna test them all :smiley:

Well the problem with that logic is the longer you delay her, the more expensive she will be. In this game switching mains is very hard, time extensive and EXPENSIVE unless you spend months gathering resources, gold, gems, engraving books, and basically park your whole roster at whatever item level until she comes out. Then when people realize this fact on top of how expensive she is at brelshaza level, no one will play her.

Well people who bought the pack solely for her basically got scammed. And there was no accommodation made for this.

it should get rework as destroyer. So i think they dont want to add it in the game in old version.

It was said MONTHS before release that it’s not coming on release, so you had more than enough time to cancel your founders pre order if that’s the only reason you did order that, so no you didn’t get scammed

Well then I have no idea how players missed that part then. The point still stands as to why tease us in beta only to replace a couple months before launch.

And then not even give a clear answer as to why or when she’ll even be released.

This is how it feels after seeing the Roadmap and still no Summoner

Yea she is most expensive as I know, especially bc of her gems, bc she needs so much stuff and so but still Summon her already AGS! :sob:

They haven’t given a clear answer when any class will release, including scouter, repeat, artist

I don’t understand how you’re expecting them to just come here and comment ‘ah yes summoner will be released on the night of novermber 23rd’

What are you expecting from them? They only announce classes in the roadmap to keep people coming back, if they told us when every other classes are coming, there are chances a big chunk of players would just leave and then come back when their class releases

It’s very depressing to see a beta class you love be pushed last. I understand reaper and scouter players deserve their class too which is why I’d rather them release two classes per month and not 1 per two months. We just want to know why summoner (a beta class that was in our version) is not being prioritized for release, especially being an original class.

Also people are already leaving/taking a break because of their decision to stagger classes at this rate.

I bought the founders pack just 1 day before the game’s head start because I heard summoner was in the beta. I was so excited becaused she was my main in RU but I was disappointed when she was replaced with sorc.

Still I held out hope that she would be released soon because she was one of the OG mage classes and she’s like the mascot of mages for Lost Ark. Then came this roadmap, I now have to face the reality that my main won’t be out for another 6 months at least because I doubt they will release her right after Arcanist. And to put salt on the injury, they just have to put her front and centre on the promotional image for Yoz’s jar like a big middle finger :cry:
