A new video has been released for Battlefield 1, showcasing numerous weapons in action.
Battlefield 1 transports you to the era of World War I – a time of rapid technological advancement. A wide variety of weapons were developed, which were used on the battlefield and represented the forerunners of modern warfare today.
In BF1, there will also be diverse toys to torment your enemies. From melee weapons like maces and shovels to shotguns, machine guns, or grenades. Some weapons will be showcased in the following video:

Allegedly, extensive research has been conducted to replicate the sound and handling of the weapons as perfectly as possible. Each weapon has a unique character, which you will experience on the battlefield.
Battlefield 1 releases on October 21 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

After the hardcore MMORPG Darkfall: Unholy Wars – at least temporarily – had to be discontinued, fans are now hoping for the successor Darkfall: Rise of Agon.
Darkfall: Rise of Agon is based on the classic Darkfall Online, the first version of the game, which many hardcore MMO fans mourned when it became known that the developers only wanted to focus on the sequel Unholy Wars. Both games simply could not be continued, which is why the license was awarded.
A classic returns
Currently, two new versions of Darkfall Online are even being created: Darkfall: New Dawn and Darkfall: Rise of Agon. The first closed beta of the latter is now approaching. After successfully getting the licensed game running on their own servers, the team at Big Picture Games is now focusing on making improvements to the client and gameplay.
They proceed with caution, as they do not want to change the original Darkfall too much. The reason they acquired the license was that they wanted to revive the venerable MMO. Nevertheless, some adjustments are needed to modernize the game a bit.
The first beta
The closed beta of Darkfall: Rise of Agon begins tomorrow, Friday, August 5. The first two weeks will be free to play, after which you will need to purchase a founder’s package – after all, the development of the game needs to be financed somehow. They hope for plenty of feedback from testers. Anyone who would like to participate in the beta can sign up on the official website and will be selected with some luck.

This was surprisingly quick: The PvP-heavy MMORPG Trinium Wars only left Early Access this June, and now the end of the game has been announced.
Trinium Wars was distributed via Steam, but the game is no longer available there. On the community page, the developers explain that the MMO has been removed from the product lineup and that the servers will be shut down on August 31. With a heavy heart, they admit that Trinium Wars did not achieve the success they had hoped for.
The PvP MMORPG simply did not work
Trinium Wars placed great importance on PvP battles, especially on resource wars. However, there were not enough players for these essential elements to be truly enjoyable. Time and again, new players tried the MMO only to leave quickly because there simply weren’t enough players. During the Early Access phase, even some changes were made, and the distribution model was switched to free-to-play based on tester feedback. But even this didn’t help. The players stayed away.
Something new is coming…
Ultimately, Trinium Wars simply could not generate enough revenue, which is why they can no longer operate the game. However, they encourage the fans. Currently, the team is working on a new MMO that will offer many “hack ‘n slash” elements. More details about this game will be shared at a later date, but they state that anyone who purchased Trinium Wars in the Deluxe or Collector’s Edition will receive the new game for free. All other players of Trinium Wars can expect a discount.
They hope for the understanding of the fans of Trinium Wars and apologize for the chaos.

Evolve is releasing one character after another and promises a coop mode for August.
“Shear Madness” – August will be a month full of new features
Even though the “great demand” for the Free2Play beta of Evolve Stage 2 is slowly fading, the game still boasts solid player numbers. Numerous fans are still playing, so the concurrent players remain consistently between 5,000 and 13,000 – enough to not have to wait long for a match. Generally, the developers are satisfied. According to their own statements, the PC version has grown from nearly 200 players to more than 2 million unique players who have at least taken a look at the game.

For the month of August, the development of new content is relentless. Just yesterday (August 3rd), the adaptation “Quantum Caira” was implemented into the game. Founders receive the character for free, while others must purchase it with Silver Keys from the shop. Quantum Caira does not have a “Healing Burst,” but can create various small zones where allies are healed or enemies are damaged. As a special trick, she can grant all hunters temporary full immunity – perfect for countering a boulder throw from the Goliath.
However, this month is far from over. At least 4 more updates are planned for August, which will bring 2 additional characters and 3 map variations. Additionally, a coop mode has been announced, which many fans have wished for, who are not interested in pure PvP action.
The coop mode is set to be released on August 9th. We will report on it as soon as there is new information.

A server outage is currently preventing players from GTA 5 Online.
For a long time, GTA 5 Online ran smoothly with the servers, but currently, things do not look good. After the servers had a “Limited” status this afternoon and not every player could log into the online world, now nothing is working anymore. Server status RED.
Update: The GTA 5 servers are currently coming back online, and the problem seems to be resolved. However, due to the high influx, long loading times and errors are to be expected in the coming hours.
GTA 5 Online Server Status
Currently, the status shows that all platforms (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Social Club) are affected and allowing no one in.
Often, the error message The required files to play GTA Online could not be downloaded from the Rockstar game service. Rockstar itself has not yet commented on this problem. According to a tweet from the group “PoodleCorp,” this appears to be a DDoS attack by this group targeting the GTA servers.
According to the tweets from the group, they also claim responsibility for some server issues with Pokémon GO. What exactly is behind the attacks remains unclear (as is often the case with DDoS attacks). We will keep you updated and inform you as soon as the servers are functioning again.

The battery saver mode is set to return to Pokémon GO – Niantic explains why it was removed.
“Pokémon GO” developer Niantic stays on the (Poké)ball and continues to provide players with information through social media. Many players criticized in recent weeks that Niantic was too “quiet” and communicated too little. The criticism has obviously been heard, as there was once again a post on the official “Pokémon GO” Facebook page. This time it is about the next countries where the game will be released, the battery saver mode on iOS, and legendary Pokémon that have been taken away from their owners again.
The “Pokémon GO” battery saver mode on iOS devices
After an update in the last few days, some trainers playing Pokémon GO on iOS devices wondered where the button for the battery saver mode is now. The answer was as simple as it was confusing: It has been removed from the game. Whether it would be reintroduced into the game was unclear at the time, but now there is new information from Niantic on this topic.
On the Pokémon GO Facebook page it says: We have heard your feedback regarding the removal of the battery saver mode on iOS devices loud and clear. We removed the feature because many players rated it as “buggy.” We are likely to release a “fix” in the coming days that will address the bugs with the feature.
iOS users will soon be able to use the battery saver mode again, enabling their smartphones to last longer on long adventures.
Upcoming releases and issues with legendary Pokémon
Next, Pokémon GO is set to be released in Central and South America according to a Facebook post. Also, during the Olympic Games in Rio, trainers, spectators, and players will be able to catch Pokémon.
BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment released a new summer update for the golf MMO Winning Putt.
Golf and MMO don’t go together? Oh yes! This is demonstrated, among other things, by the golf game Winning Putt, where you can upgrade your character like in an MMORPG and equip yourself with increasingly better items, and where you play through golf courses similarly to quests to become the best golfer in the world – at least virtually.
Summer is here!
The big summer update brings a range of new features and new missions. It is now possible for you to collect guild rank points with your guild. To do this, you need to complete rated matches for which you earn points. The more points you earn, the higher your team climbs up the guild leaderboard. However, you should think carefully about who you want to compete against. Because while a victory gives you points, a defeat takes them away! To have better chances and more members in the guild, the maximum number has been increased to 40, and your guild can now rise to level 20.
In addition, the summer festival is now taking place in the online game, which not only brings summer decorations into the game but also interesting missions. Depending on whether you have chosen a “cool” or a “hot” mission, different quests await you, including different rewards. It is possible to complete the missions daily so that you can grab as many rewards as possible during the summer festival.
Furthermore, the graphics are expanded with the update. The golf MMO with CryEngine 3 receives a day-night cycle with different times of the day that visually impact the game. If you want to compete with or against other players in golf tournaments, then take a look at Winning Putt.
In Destiny we look at innovations in the Crucible. Are Private Matches and Custom Games coming? And what about the Iron Banner?
The PvP will experience some innovations and changes with “The Rise of Iron”. So far, there are mentions of a new mode and four new Crucible maps. In addition, a new feature is promised, which Guardians have reportedly been waiting for a long time.
The YouTuber My name is Byf summarizes all previous PvP information in RoI:

A new Crucible mode called “Supremacy”, in English Supremacy, has already been confirmed. Those who have played multiplayer in Call of Duty will recognize this mode as “Kill Confirmed”.
In “Supremacy”, you score only by collecting items left behind by fallen Guardians on the battlefield. These items are called “Crests” and visually resemble Engrams.
A kill does not count until you collect these Crests. If teammates die, you can collect their Crests and deny your opponents the points.
Supremacy comes in three different versions:
6 vs. 6 – Standard.
Inferno 6 vs. 6 – Here, the radar is turned off for a hardcore experience.
Free-for-All – Here, not 12 but only 6 players compete against each other.
The Supremacy mode will demand high mobility from you. You cannot just camp in places and snipe opponents comfortably, but must move to the place of death and grab the Crests. Supremacy will require an offensive playstyle. How tactical approaches will be possible remains to be seen in the future.
New PvP Maps in Rise of Iron
There are supposed to be four new maps in the Crucible:
Floating Gardens: This is a mysterious Vex shrine on Venus.
Last Exit: An abandoned underground station from the Golden Age.
Skyline: An installation on Mars that overlooks the buried city.
Icarus: This map is PlayStation-exclusive. It is located on Mercury.
How will the Iron Banner change?
Since the beginning of Destiny, Guardians participate in the Iron Banner PvP event once a month. In it, you will be tested by Lord Saladin to see if you are worthy of becoming an Iron Lord. In the “The Rise of Iron” expansion, however, Lord Saladin will appear in another role: he will fight alongside you against the new threat and will be present at Felwinter Peak. What influence will this have on the Iron Banner?
First: The first time the Iron Banner will be held after the launch of RoI will be played in the mode “Supremacy”. When that will be is only speculation. But presumably a week after release, starting September 27.
However, who will take on the role as the point of contact for the Iron Banner is not yet known. It could possibly remain Lord Saladin – or a new NPC will provide the bounties and rewards for you.
The bounties and the Iron Banner progression system are supposed to change: The buff on reputation gain, which increases from day to day, will be removed, making it worthwhile to play Iron Banner every day of the week. If you reach rank 5 early in the RoI Iron Banner, it should be worth continuing to play as you can earn more rewards.
Additionally, Iron Banner shaders, emblems, or class items will no longer grant reputation bonuses. You can style yourself however you want.
Iron Banner bounties are supposed to directly grant Iron Banner items when you successfully complete them.
What about Private Matches and Custom Games?
According to Bungie, “Rise of Iron” will bring a new feature to the Crucible that has not yet been revealed. On August 16, this will be announced at Gamescom. Lars Bakken, designer at Bungie, stated that “Rise of Iron” will introduce a long-awaited feature that the community has been asking for a long time.
According to My name is Byf, it can only be about two things:
Private Matches and Custom Games
Or Dedicated Servers
However, as dedicated servers would not necessarily be referred to as a “feature”, he strongly assumes that it is referring to custom matches.
What do you think? Can we finally create private games in RoI?

My.com and developer NetEase have released a new trailer for the upcoming MMORPG Revelation Online.
In an MMO, the game world must impress. It needs to be designed interestingly and offer players the necessary variety and incentives to want to explore it. With a new trailer, you will be introduced to the game world of the MMO Revelation Online. You won’t just see random zones and areas; a narrator will guide you – in English – through the landscapes of the Asian-inspired fantasy world Nuanor.
From the deepest waters to the highest mountains
In Nuanor, many secrets and wondrous places await you. You will explore deep oceans and the highest mountains. The developers place great importance on the fact that every location can truly be reached. However, you won’t achieve this on foot. Search for and catch various mounts that will allow you to fly high above the clouds or dive into the depths of the sea.
The narrator in the video guides you through three major cities, where you will meet the inhabitants of Nuanor. You will see mighty fortresses that you can conquer in the game with your guild. You will also catch your first glimpses of some of the dangerous bosses that await you during your adventures in the dark dungeons. The new video is sure to whet the appetite of those looking forward to Revelation Online. If you want to take your first steps in Nuanor as soon as possible, sign up immediately on the official website for the soon-starting Closed Beta.

Medivh appears as a Hearthstone card in Karazhan and brings his staff. Additionally, there is a demon that carries many legendary minions.
The Staff of the Last Guardian
Next week, the next expansion for Hearthstone “A Night in Karazhan” will be released. Blizzard releases new cards every day, which can be unlocked throughout the 4 wings of the expansion. Today we take a look at the latest cards, which will especially please demon and spell fans.
The Warrior awaits the new spell Protect the King! For 3 mana, the Warrior summons a 1/1 minion with Taunt for each enemy minion on the board. This should provide a small life insurance, especially against Rush decks.
The Warlock receives the Silverware Golem, which makes use of the discard mechanic. It is a 3/3 minion for 3 mana that is also played when it would normally be discarded.
The neutral minion Zoobot is waiting, also for 3 mana with stats of 3/3. The battle cry is interesting, as it gives a friendly random beast, dragon, and Murloc +1/+1. In the best case, that means a 6/6 effect for only 3 mana!
The neutral demon Prince Malchezaar has caused quite a stir in the community. With stats of 5/6 for 6 mana, he is already relatively solid, but his effect is hotly debated. When the game begins, he adds 5 additional, random legendary minions to your own deck!
It is important to note that the extra cards are created only after drawing – so you cannot have them in your starting hand. Additionally, Malchezaar cannot create additional copies. If you have a Ragnaros in your deck, Malchezaar will not generate another one. Legendary cards from other classes are also off-limits.
Finally, Medivh, the Guardian has been revealed. A legendary minion with stats of 7/7 for 8 mana is rather weak, but his battle cry makes him a desirable card: “Summon Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian.” Atiesh itself is a weapon with 1/3 and the effect: “After you cast a spell, summon a random minion with the same cost. Then lose 1 durability.”
What do you think of these cards? Useful or just a gimmick for fun decks?

In the second part of the audio play about the backstory of World of Warcraft: Legion, Maiev Shadowsong appears. And Khadgar is not exactly sure which side she is on …
Maiev and the Mage
To properly prepare players for World of Warcraft: Legion, Blizzard releases plenty of background information about the latest expansion. They particularly seem to place great value on a cohesive story, which is told through comics, cinematics, and audiobooks/audio plays. “The Tomb of Sargeras – Part Two: Old Friends” continues the story that began with Gul’dan’s arrival on the Broken Isles.
The Archmage Khadgar talks with the Watchers and tells them about the new enemy that has come ashore. There, he encounters Maiev Shadowsong, the leader of the Watchers. She doesn’t think much of magic and even less of humans. After a (more or less) successful negotiation, Khadgar picks up Gul’dan’s trail and enters the Tomb of Sargeras to confront his arch-nemesis. In the ruins, he makes a discovery that raises terrible fears …

Mein-MMO says: Normally, I am quite critical of voice acting, but with David Nathan, Blizzard has hired arguably the most talented German speaker. In comparison, the English version seems almost dry and emotionless – the speaker gives the story a unique dynamic that wonderfully captures each scene. As such, the audio play is an absolute must for lore fans.
Today, on August 4th, maintenance is taking place at Destiny. The servers are offline on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
Currently, the hype train for Destiny is back in full swing. The site Gameinformer has secured exclusive rights and is now gradually allowed to publish tidbits of information about the upcoming expansion “The Rise of Iron”. However, it cannot be said that these are mere “tidbits” – a true flood of news has hit us in the past days.
One has to calm down first to process all of that, right? Something similar is probably being thought by Bungie: Because they are giving the Guardians a break tonight and conducting several hours of maintenance.
At 5 PM our time, the preparations will begin. From then on, you will not be able to log in to Destiny.
If you are still in the game at 6 PM, you will be roughly kicked out. At this time, all servers will be taken offline. So make sure you finish your ongoing activity by then.
Bungie expects that the server downtime will not last more than three hours. So you can game again before 9 PM.
For some players, this will significantly disrupt evening plans. However, to ensure you don’t completely miss out on Destiny, we will link all the information published in recent days about “The Rise of Iron” below.
The best Pokémon GO hacks won’t help either. Niantic is taking action!
When a couple in Ohio pointed out that Niantic had gifted them an Articuno, many players had already figured out that this must be a fake or a hack. Why would Niantic simply send Pokémon to selected players as an “apology”? And an Articuno at that? Now, the “Pokémon GO” developer Niantic has spoken out and clarified the situation.
Fair Play in Pokémon GO
What was already clear has now been officially confirmed by Niantic. In a statement to IGN, a spokesperson for Niantic stated:
We recently learned that a few legendary Pokémon ended up in the hands of various trainers, although that shouldn’t be possible. To show that we take these cases very seriously and want to maintain fairness in the game, we have rectified the situation and revoked the Pokémon from the trainers.
Articuno was not given away by Niantic
A Niantic spokesperson told Geek.com that Articuno was definitely not given away by Niantic. It is possible that players used a hack or something similar to obtain Articuno. For example, there are also programs that change the appearance of Pokémon on their devices, so that a Caterpie appears as a Zapdos or even an Articuno.
In any case, the world in Pokémon GO is back to normal, as none of the trainers should have a legendary Pokémon in their possession anymore. It’s nice to hear more from Niantic lately. For a long time, it was very quiet, and players were in the dark. By now reporting issues or, as in this case, publicly showing that they want to keep the game fair, the developers are improving their reputation among many players.
What will happen with PokéVision is still unclear – but we have provided a good alternative for you to track Pokémon: The GO Map for Pokémon GO!

Rare has released a new video explaining what the MMO Sea of Thieves is all about.
In principle, the MMO aims to allow players to live the life of a pirate and fully immerse themselves in the game world. You can do whatever you like. If you feel like steering a ship, you simply go to the helm and set sail. When you see an island on the horizon, you sail towards it, jump overboard, swim ashore, and explore the isle.
Do what you want
If you see a jug of grog, you simply grab it and drink until you can hardly walk straight. If you encounter another player, you won’t know if they mean you harm or if they are a friend. The same goes for when a ship appears on the horizon. Do the players want to trade on board or will they open fire? While in other games such things can be predicted through GUI elements or similar, Sea of Thieves operates much more naturally.
Sea of Thieves will not be comparable to other MMOs that have preset encounters where you know that Boss XY is lurking in that dungeon and if you defeat him, you will receive a legendary item. You will never know what happens or what someone is planning. And you won’t know where to find which treasure. You will have no idea what will happen when you log in. Will you encounter another ship while sailing? Sometimes you might even be completely alone on an island.
Sea of Thieves is an MMO, but not a Massively Multiplayer Online Game
Therefore, you will play an online RPG that is not massive. You don’t want players to be constantly surrounded by other players. Each encounter with a player should be special, and the player should feel like they are something unique, precisely because not everyone does the same things and finds the same items as everyone else. It is believed that each gaming session is unique in this way and remains in the player’s memory. However, the term MMO will be retained, which in Sea of Thieves means Memorable Multiplayer Online Game.
Kakao Games, the developers of Black Desert, declare war on bot sellers. They are expected to not only cease their operations but also hand over the names of the buyers.
Massive demands against the bot manufacturer
The fight against botters, cheaters, and fraudsters continues in Black Desert. A particularly intimidating example is now planned to be made of the programmer of the botting software “Pys”. Developer J. Bosch has been embroiled in a court case by Kakao Games Europe (formerly “Daum”, renamed). The demands from Kakao Games are quite hefty. The operator is to not only immediately cease their website and thus the service but also pay €500 for every bot sold. Furthermore, Daum wants the data of all buyers – presumably to permanently close the associated Black Desert game accounts.
In response, the subscription service of “Pys” has been suspended, at least temporarily.
Mr. Bosch, however, does not seem to be entirely discouraged by this, as he claims to already be working “on something new” – whether it is legal software remains to be seen.
Mein-MMO states: Whether Kakao Games has any chance with these demands is, of course, not yet decided. At least the disclosure of the buyer list could prove to be quite difficult due to data protection reasons. Since the demands seem so exaggerated, fans also suspect that they simply wanted to make a big PR splash to generate some attention, following the motto “Look here, we are doing something!” If this actually makes the botters disappear… good. But that remains to be seen.

A new video has been released for Destiny, showcasing a lot of nostalgia in “The Rise of Iron”.
Last night Gameinformer released another video about the upcoming autumn expansion. In it, the developers talked about some things we have already written extensive articles about, such as the new artifacts and the vendors in Felwinter Peak. You can find all fresh information about “The Rise of Iron” on our Destiny page.
Below we highlight new aspects that were shown in the video. The YouTuber Arekkz Gaming showcases the most exciting screenshots from it:

The Return of the Gjallarhorn and the Arrival of Nostalgia
The game director Christopher Barrett and executive producer Scott Taylor mention that nostalgia will play a significant role in RoI. The Guardians are returning to familiar places – which, however, have changed. The Wall is destroyed and the Cosmodrome is marked by winter and the Devil Splicers. Additionally, powerful year-1 weapons are returning, like the Gjallarhorn or the Dorn. When you play the new expansion, the year-1 Guardians among you will surely remember the early days.
But it will be nostalgic for Lord Saladin as well, according to the developers. His friends, the “Iron Lords,” gave their lives to save humanity. He is now returning to Felwinter Peak and must once again face the danger that was once repelled with you.
Regarding the Gjallarhorn, it is already known that pre-order customers will receive an “Iron Gjallarhorn” . This exotic rocket launcher will be acquired through a yet-unknown quest and must first be “forged”. The video from Gameinformer briefly shows the creation of the Gjallarhorn, as the following screenshots show:
A workbench is visible where the Gjallarhorn is currently being built. Presumably, you will acquire your cool rocket launcher at this point.
The Plaguelands will be “big”
Already at E3, the developers talked about the Plaguelands, the new zone in “Rise of Iron”. They often emphasized that this will be “big” and expansive. Additionally, the Plaguelands are said to be full of secrets and invite exploration. The video reinforces the image that the Plaguelands will offer plenty of space:
Felwinter Peak and the Statues
The new “Social Space” Felwinter Peak must first be reclaimed before you can call it “home”. Because nasty enemies have made themselves comfortable in there. Your first task in RoI will be to drive them out so that the NPC vendors can populate this place. Here we present three new NPCs in Felwinter Peak.
In Felwinter Peak there is a statue room:Here you activate your new artifacts: Each artifact has a connection to deceased Iron Lords. You bring it to the corresponding statue, unlock the power of the artifact, and ignite a fire at the statue.
You can directly see which artifacts you already have and which ones are still missing. This visualizes your progress.
What will happen when all fires are burning is not known. Perhaps nothing will happen, but it might also unlock some kind of reward, or maybe a secret passage opens? You know, at least from other games: “Bring all items together in one place, and you will receive something great.”
“You are such a good boy.”
More information from the video:
The well-known strike boss Sepiks Primus is back, this time as “Sepiks Perfected”.
A Splicer Walker is visible:
According to the developers, especially the last story mission will be great and a lot of fun, as many things are supposed to come together there.
In the “Play of the Games” of Overwatch , this time Torbjörn swings the hammer, Ana proves extreme precision, and Lúcio is once again “too cool for school”.
The Overwatch Sandman in the form of Ana
In the past week, many absurd “Play of the Game” moments occurred in Overwatch. We scoured social media, various forums, and Reddit to compile our top 3 for this week.
Starting off is the player Unk with his clip “Budget Genji”. As Torbjörn, he is boosted by an Ana from his team with a Nanoboost and does the only right thing: He takes out his hammer and hammers away. However, not on his own turret, but on the enemy team. In the process, even a built Bastion shatters, unable to comprehend what is happening to it.

The own D.Va is just blowing up her mech, and the enemy team gathers behind Reinhardt’s shield to avoid the explosion unscathed – but not with Ana! A bold sleep dart at the last second removes the protective cover and guarantees a quadruple kill.

Our last contribution comes directly from the current Brawl “Lucioball”. The player Etheralforce seems to have unbelievable luck or can see into the future. Because instead of doing an emote after a successful goal, he plays it cold beforehand – even though the enemies along with the ball are in “his” penalty area.

Lost Ark looks stunning! A mix of Diablo and MMORPG that could bring fresh air to the genre.
At least in Korea, the beta will start on August 24, then players will get a glimpse of the online hack ‘n slash. Whether western players will be included is still not entirely clear. However, the beta is expected to be limited to 9,000 participants. Many are already very curious about how the online game will play.
What classes does the beta offer?
Also, many want to know which classes they can embody. In total, there will be 18 classes in the final version, although not all of them will be playable during the beta. A video has surfaced showing what classes have apparently been selected for the beta. However, this has not yet been confirmed by the developers!
The video shows the Bard, the Battle Master, the Blaster with a huge cannon, and the Berserker. The Devil Hunter, the Fighter, the Gunner, the Infighter, the Warrior, and the Warlord are also included. It seems to be a good mix of tanks, damage dealers, and supporters. It should be noted that you start with one of three classes and can then jump into other classes that you unlock over time. It is more about specialization.
At the start of the Lost Ark beta, more will surely be revealed about the online game. We are very curious!
