Lost Ark Unveils New Advanced Classes And Raids Coming In April & May
Amazon Game Studios, in cooperation with Lost Ark developer Smilegate, have released the April and May development road for the popular MMORPG. Following complaints of rushed endgame content, the team promised to focus on releasing horizontal content in the near future and give players clear paths to progression without making them feel that they need to pay to move forward.
The first of those horizontal content releases is the new Glaivier advanced class for the Martial Artist. She will be slashing her way to the battlefield in April alongside the opening of the new technology-driven South Vern region and various quality of life improvements.
“Practicing an artistic and deadly form of martial arts, the Glaivier slices and dices her way through the battlefield, weaving together attacks with her spear and glaive. The Glaivier has two distinct skill sets which can be swapped between— Focus and Flurry— with each stance and skill set represented by one of her two weapons. The shorter spear is used to unleash a furious barrage in the Flurry stance, while the longer glaive harnesses Focus stance for gracefully lethal strikes and sweeping attacks.”
May will see the debut of a new advanced class for the Warrior, the Destroyer, and two new Trial Guardian Challenge Raids – Valkan’s Legion and Deskaluda.
“We’ve talked about the cataclysmic impact that Warriors have on the battlefield, but nothing embodies this better than the hammer-wielding Destroyer. Armed with a variety of skills centered around charging into the heart of the fray, their hammer attacks are so catastrophically crushing that Destroyers can bend gravity to their will— slowing, launching, pushing and pulling enemies— whatever it takes to utterly, beyond a shadow of a doubt, destroy them.”
The team, however, says that they might push back the release of the new raids if it puts too much pressure on players to reach the endgame much like the Argos Abyss raid did when it first came out early last month.
“We’ll continue to evaluate data and listen to player feedback, and share summer roadmap content after April & May are wrapped up,” said the team.
