The international version of “Lost Ark” on Steam was launched in February this year, and the number of players was achieved at the same time. However, it was followed by the server queuing problem. At the same time, it also caused controversy due to the setting of the game’s female characters. In response to the opinions raised by the community, the agency Amazon Games has come forward to say that it has faced up to this problem and promised to make improvements in the game.
The Lost Ark arrives on Steam on February 12Set a record of 1.32 million players online at the same timebut this Korean MMORPG was quickly criticized by the overseas player community. What triggered the discussion was the short post of Riot Games art director dani kruse, showing the female characters in the game’s “beautiful buttocks” walking posture. I think this way of walking is a bit exaggerated in modern terms.
At the same time, some overseas players also think that the exposure of female armor and clothing in the game is somewhat inappropriate.

In addition to the walking posture, the gender binding of certain occupations in the game “Lost Ark” has also become a topic of controversy. For example, there are only men in warriors, and only women in the class of mages.
Now that the game has been on the market for nearly a month, the agency Amazon Games represents Soomin Park to Eurogamer Response: “Occupations are very closely tied to their role models, so adding another gender to one occupation requires more work hours than just applying gender-specific mods.”
“Smilegate RPG is actively working on this; female berserker is the next new class in the Korean version.” Soomin Park added, “Smilegate RPG will maintain a gender-binding approach in the future, but there are more diverse ways to create The corresponding professional role.”
In addition, in response to the player’s reaction that the armor and clothing obtained in the game are too revealing, Soomin Park also emphasized that it will be adjusted. Although the clothing will not be removed, other clothing options will be added instead of completely replaced.
Soomin Park said: “Because we need to strike a balance between the many die-hard fans who love the original Lost Ark content, and those who may not like the existing outfit outfits, we’re adding new outfit styles to the game instead of Take away (one of the parties) the right to choose.”
