Another update slated for later in September will introduce the new Machinist advanced class along with the Kakul-Saydon encounter, the game's third Legion raid that will pit players against the killer clowns of the Midnight Circus. It's not as big or exciting an update as Lost Ark players may have become accustomed to, but more is on the way soon. Strongholds are receiving some major changes with the update, with new items added to the Pet Ranch, improvements to the Stronghold UI, the addition of a Stronghold activity notebook, and the ability to more easily visit the Strongholds of friends, guildmates, and other players in general. Across all classes in PvP, the conditions for activating Super Armor have been reduced. Players will no doubt be interested in the various class balance changes coming with the update, and while there are a few classes that haven't received any changes, most are seeing a few of their abilities tweaked in some form.

Servers are expected to come back up at approximately 2 PM PT / 11 PM CEST. The team is working through a fix that may allow us to release the September 7th Update later today, but unfortunately this will require additional server downtime. A free-camera spectator mode has also been added to Proving Grounds, and there are two new hairstyles for each base class to choose from when creating a charactor. Jumping into Proving Ground matches should now be quicker, with a shorter introduction sequence and the option to skip cinematics when entering a match. Improvements are coming to Lost Ark's various chat systems, and friend lists are now Roster-wide rather than on a per character basis.
WHEN WILL ARK 2 RELEASE PATCH
The update is on track to go live following server maintenance, which is expected to end around 2 PM PT/ 5 PM ET.Īs detailed in the official patch notes, once the update is live, players will have the ability to alter aspects of the game's user interface, including the size of the HUD and various buffs. It also will include back-end tech changes to set the stage for the game's first round of server merges, which will happen later this month.

The latest update for Amazon and Smilegate RPG's free-to-play MMO Lost Ark is set to arrive later today, with a focus on delivering various class balance changes and quality-of-life improvements over the addition of new content.
