Momentum is picking up for the long-long-awaited
Lost Ark, which just began its closed beta (in Japan).
A Redditor reported that the beta patch included some significant changes, such as the removal of the controversial gender lock and the addition of player housing islands.
“We are currently working hard to prepare for global release,” said the studio. “We can’t mark the date yet, but we want to tell you that we are working on it and looking forward to announcing some good news in the near future.”

You can't just remove a gender lock,you have to ADD in the animations,thousands of animation frames for the relevant class/gender.
Also odd is that this looks way more like a mindless Korean arpg than a Jpn game.
Characters look silly out of place very typical of KR designs and the combat is just ...terrible would be putting it politely.
I have zero interest in arpg's because you can play them with your eyes closed,press one button and everything dies...no thanks.
So after seeing the type of combat this is,now i understand the odd wording of removing gender lock,they are likely using the same animations no matter what class.I mean all you see is boom everything is dead in a cloud or the character spins around in a circle so fast you can't tell what the animation is or even see any detail in the character anymore.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I liked the scouter class video.

Also, this means that I'll be playing the fisting-enthusiast. Giggidy.
If you play PoE on hardcore mode, the fact that one misstep and you die, makes the game playable, otherwise, all arpg are boring.
Have you ever played a game in HC mode
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.

If I can, as you put it, stun lock groups and then take them out, where is the fun in that?
I always like there to be a little danger. Then again, if this is viewed as an mmorpg it sort of falls in line with "grinding mobs."
Also hate the "light show."

The grindfest of Last Ark is an annoying linearity on daily content on what you repeat every day to get the shines so the late game not really balancing well.

Change happened. D1-2 came out a long time ago. Several ARPGs without gender lock were released after, including D3. You can just play the damn game regardless, so why make an issue of it. At worst it makes no difference at all, and it can potentially draw in more players simply by better catering to preference.
