Fans complain because the most important thing is missing from the summer event in Lost Ark: sexy swimwear

The June update in Lost Ark also delivers a summer event where you can relax and dance comfortably on an island when you get tired of the many adventures. But fans now complain that they have to do it in armor and not in sexy bikinis. We at MeinMMO summarize.

Why are the fans complaining? The June update in Lost Ark is actually really well received by the Lost Ark community. The content is diverse, the bug fixes are long-awaited and the “Quality of Life” adjustments are a boon for every player.

But it wouldn’t be the community of an online game if there weren’t still something to complain about. This time it’s about the summer event in Arkesia, the Heartbeat Island.

On the island you can collect rewards simply by having a good time. In addition, you deny events where you just have to be there or where you should put on a brisk dance in the disco on the holiday island.

However, you have to do the latter in full gear, because the sexy bikinis that were available in Korea for the event have not yet arrived in our version of Lost Ark.

Check out our trailer to see what else is coming in the June update:

What exactly are you criticizing? First and foremost, it’s the lack of immersion that doesn’t go down well with the players. A reddit thread picking up the topic is titled “So we’re dancing in heavy armor? It looks so out of place,” and gets a lot of approval. He has now collected over 540 upvotes and a total of 195 comments.

While the fans are mostly taking it with humor, some are really complaining about the lack of swimwear in the game. Especially because a number of such costumes were released in Korea at the same time as the Heartbeat Island event. Primarily, these are particularly skimpy outfits and ears that tie in with the overall Heartbeat Island theme. So they shine in neon colors and scream “party” out of themselves.

So the users are angry that they are once again getting less content than the Korean model and at the same time disappointed that they have to dance in full armor.

“They went to the trouble of specifically removing these skins”

Unfair release policy: In addition to the immersion breaks caused by dancing in heavy armor, there is again a lot of criticism of the different release schedule for Europe and Korea. Again and again there are discussions on reddit that patches for our version are supposedly being cut.

Many fans are therefore jealous of the updates in Korea and are gradually losing hope in the patches of our version. Although there are also fans in the thread who explain that the skins and the shop are not directly connected to the event and therefore did not have to be removed on purpose, the mood in the thread is clearly negative.

What are the fans saying? The general mood for the update is positive, so we only want to refer to comments about the summer event in this article and in the quotes. So that you can get an idea for yourself, we have prepared an excerpt for you (via reddit):

• Fenris writes, “There’s nothing like a lazy day at the beach in full armor.”
• kingofranks says, “We’re still getting the skins, summer is a while away. Don’t get so upset.”
• Bewbii writes: “Great, instead we get the ugly Umar skins and should shut up.”
• Modawe writes: “Even if they didn’t specifically cut the skins out of the update, it’s still crap from them. They hold back the costumes on purpose. I’m losing hope for the July update.”
• TrueSol is annoyed: “Really, are you upset about this? Dancing in armor? Rather fight demons in bloated cuddly toy suits?”
• winteryu writes: “Finally give me the bikinis. My day is ruined.”

What do you think of the allegations? Do you, like many in the thread, think that complaints are overdone? Do you think the criticism of the release speed is reasonable? Or are you just excited about the June update and don’t understand what all the comments are about? Write to us here at MeinMMO.
