For the fourth anniversary of Lost Ark’s release in the west, the MMO action-RPG added a bunch of skins that, in the original Korean version, were designed by and then voted for by players. The results are mostly in line with what you might expect from Lost Ark’s skinsāfor a while I played a sorceress and every time I went up a tier her outfit got skimpier, so I’m unsurprised to see the skin here is literal lingerieāexcept for one.
It’s a pretty blatant contrast compared to the winning skin for lady warriors, your slayers and valkyries, who get a boob strap and a skirt with a slit that shows their right ass cheek. It could be worseāthat one martial artist skin with the crotch zipper is wildābut still.
This anniversary’s new mount is also pretty unusual, in that it’s a bus. Remember to thank your driver when you get dropped off at Prideholme. Unlike previous years, the 4th anniversary mount isn’t a free gift, so have your credit card at the ready.
The big addition in Lost Ark this month is the Guardianknight class, a halberd-wielding fighter who can tap into the power of the Guardiansāgigantic creatures who are the focus of Guardian raidsāto summon scaly shields, wings, and other monster-themed additions. Also she wears high heels and has a walk cycle like a Grand Theft Auto streetwalker, because of course she does.
