I like playing as a guy because in real life I'm a dude, gender locked classes always turn me off no matter what the game is, I like immersing myself in the game feeling like this character would be what I would be in a game, me being a girl in a game when im a dude irl isn't my cup of tea
So play one of the other classes that are Dudes...
Or just not play the game lol
If a class is gender restricted and I need to play as a girl just to be the class I want I'm no longer doing what I wish I'm catering to someone elses wishes on what I personally want to do in a game I play, I find such things silly, why must I change how and why I want to play as based on what a dev wants me to do based on their logic, I've done enough catering to devs for a life time I'm kinda over it, If can't immerse myself by playing how I want to play even something as little as gender control I just won't play, in the end I'll do them a service, they wont be hearing me bitch about said game and they can keep forcing others to play how they want win win
Yes. If you feel very strongly that you MUST play only 1 particular class and it MUST be a particular sex, then you should skip a game that has gender locked your class...
As I said... I find it silly to have laser guns, mechs, kung-fu tournaments, swords, pirates, and aliens in the same game... but I play it because it is THEIR world. If I found it too off putting I would skip it.
But what they shouldn't do is whine about it everywhere, when it's clearly their decision and personal problem.
I believe it's called Customer Feedback.
Yet no one from Smilegate or Amazon Customer Service is reading these forums to my knowledge, so it comes across as useless whining.

Or, you know, maybe you're the problem. Maybe you, who do not mind the issue, have no business telling others how they should feel. Maybe they *should* voice their opinions to enact positive change, because it does lead to responses, like the one that started this thread to begin with. Whether they actually adequately follow through remains to be seen, but the response is worth *something.*
And it's not like the issue doesn't predate the game's western launch. They've been unlocking classes per posts years ago.
Oh good heavens no, forums were made to point out other people's silly behaviors, all part of the fun you know.
How do you feel about reverse mouse look, must have or no issue?

Truth be told, I am not a fan of Gender Locked Classes, why not just make 1 class and have both genders play it, as opposed to making a male and female version of the same kind of class, with different names.
Just comes across as Ridiculously Pointlessly Gendered, and it's an instant demerit against the game for me.
But, depending on the reviews, and gameplay, I might still give the game a go.
But no joke, I am walking in already not liking that feature, so a lot of other things in the game will need to make up for that.
That is not to say I have any stipulation against playing male of female toons, I just think gander locking classes is weak minded stupidity.
Egotism is the anesthetic that dullens the pain of stupidity, this is why when I try to beat my head against the stupidity of other people, I only hurt myself.

Honestly, I don't know how reverse mouse look works for this genre, nor how many people prefer to use it.
My general opinion on settings is that more is always better, and Lost Ark in particular could afford to improve its control options.
(I tried playing it on controller, btw, and it's such a load of wank. They seem to have implemented all menus and dialogue options in the most unintuitive way possible.)
