The hit MMORPG was released in the West last month by the American company.
Among all the tide of great releases that we have had during the month of February, Lost Ark has managed to make a niche for itself by becoming one of the most played games currently on PC. The title by Smilegate was released in the West by the company Amazon Gamesand the publisher has had to deal with several problems.
The most obvious of all is that of the inconsistency of its servers, with long queues waiting to be able to enter to play, but there are other aspects that have been harshly criticized. One of them is the representation of women through extremely sexualized character designs.
In Eurogamer they have asked the publisher about this, and Soomin Parkresponsible for the franchise at Amazon Games, has assured that they are aware of this problem. In fact, Park commented that, although they are not going to make immediate or categorical modifications, they are planning changes in this regard with less provocative alternative attire.
There will not be very significant changesAlso, they want to stop using the most suggestive armors in the game promotion and in the images shown internally. Regarding the gender differences in the classes of Lost Ark has also spoken out, as there have been complaints that only male characters can be warriors, while female characters can be mages. The system will remain as it is now, but in the future they will release a Female Berserker which will arrive first in the Korean version.
This implementation is not included in the new features announced for March, but Smilegate’s MMORPG is. constantly evolvinggoing far beyond content. For example, a massive banning of bots has recently been carried out aimed at eliminating more than one million illegitimate accounts.
