Archer/Ranger Class

[Johanne Steinway]

Is there going to be an Archer/Ranger class with OBT? Or are they going to add it with official launch or even further in time?

I hope so.

Heard talk that there will be an Archer, no idea when it will be added though.

Not adding the Ranger feels like a bit of a dealbreaker to me. I play one on that which must not be named, and considering (non founder-pack) familiars, premium service and ellun box won't be made account wide, I'd end up not logging in until they bother to add the class (or playing another class when I really want to play the Ranger).

The game is pretty grindy when it comes to questing and I don't really see much point in levelling a class I'm not as interested in - very disappointed it seems to have been cut for no reason.

Hoping they will surprise add it back next CBT. Would make the decision whether to buy the legendary pack and risk the pay to win a lot easier.

I really hope there is going to be, it's the main reason why i wanted to play this game in the first place. They have them in the chinese/japanese version.....

Yes there is an archer class avaliable in the korean version.
Possibly due to textures/balancing or just pacing of the game, it is not in the current build we have. You might see it sometime within a month if lucky.

Every class is a ranger class once you are mounted. The crossbow gives you a slew of ranger-like abilities.

The archer class will be added later, same probably will happen with the loli class they recently introduced in the Asian version of the game. But I think the archer will be here pretty fast, just hope they have also extra character slots on sale by then as currently if you didn't get the higher packs you are unable to go over 3 characters on a server.

The builds seem to be directly related to the build releases of the Korean version of the game, which had Archers released over a year after their Open Beta. The Archer class isn't balanced for level 25, and I believe it uses a feature later added related to the command system.

The content is going to be released in the same progression as the Korean version, just like Blade & Soul.
