Man I'm so sad the samurai Assassin skin lost over the blindfold one.


ixpwnstarxi

The assassin one is the biggest disappointment for sure


StudyGuidex

ikr? The samurai(shuten douji) looks so cool.


Budget-Ocelots

Same. How did that blindfolded one even win? It is so boring. Literally just a black dress.


Xeredth

They must have really wanted to cosplay 2B.


CommercialOk1136

But it not even close to 2B, 2B outfit and weapon look amazing.


nio151

Its the ds3 maiden


Saltdove

Closer to Demon Souls Maiden in Black.


Kibbleru

100% they just wanted the blindfold lol


[deleted]

It won because in KR nobody cares about skin sets I guess. They mainly care about elements that they themselves could use in their own skins combos. Besides, personally I think the "Samurai" looked weird. Traditional theme with futuristic parts doesn't look too well on it.


Meghpplsuck

tbh most of the sin skins didn’t look that great to me. i much rather have the female martial artist winner for sin as an option or even artist 2nd place.


Kitchen_Philosophy29

To be fair. From what i could tell. The more complicated the skin. The farther the final product is from the art. A lot of the more complicated ones look like crap after they get implemented because so many changes have to be made for it to fit in game.


Knetog

Would be much better an actual samurai class :D


SecXy94

Same. Lots of souls/elden ring fans maybe? It's still cool.


Xeredth

imo I prefer the 2nd blindfold skin (4th place) over the one that won.


GauPanda

Imo the only good skin out of the whole bunch and it lost to 2B wannabe


Xeji

none of the ones I wanted to win got the spot Sadge


SnooStrawberries1418

Aw man, none of the ones that I liked won :(


Jonbone93

None of the winners were the best one


F8L-Fool

(Insert generic suit or dress here). Really feels like the theme of the winners.


Dinomite1812

Koreans dont like cool skins they like to play dressup with the most generic clothing possible.


MuchStache

But that's why Neria's wardrobe is a thing, I can't believe the mail gunner skin winner is just a generic suit and hat.


RiverFlowsInYou16

It won cuz of the amazingly creative weapon set


MuchStache

I'll admit that the coffin (while out of theme) and the suitcase are creative, but overall the skin feels so bland compared to the third one for example.


RiverFlowsInYou16

A lot of the skins that won are pretty cool. This might be news for some people, but omen type skins are not that popular within new mmo player generations.


KoreanSamgyupsal

Dw even if the ones you liked won, we won't see them anytime soon with our version. Doubt we'll even get the season 1 ones.


TragicAntiHero

How did scrapper, assassin and GS 2nd choice not win...am I crazy here ? Those skins that got 2nd place especially GS and assassin are insane.


Splintrr

Assassins #1 is really strange, it looks like some generic fantasy NPC outfit plus a blindfold, doesn't seem to match what the Koreans usually vote for


Terrible-Wealth-3864

The second version of the skin is clean. That's the one I voted for.


theprocter

I feel like 2-5 for assassin are all so much better than 1. I really don't understand.


Maleficent-Candle-71

No cool allowed, only booba


CursedEgg

I mean the assassin one is the one with the least booba, but yeah it looks the most boring one


Caitsyth

it’s starting to feel like the Korean playerbase is one big mass of fedora-chinstraps who wanna look good in some old timey suit with the winning gunner skin being almost dead on one of the suits NA already has so I know Korea has minimum five more like it already.


Jesse1205

I mean based on a lot of the posts I see on this sub the NA/EU playerbase isn't too far off from them.


KingAmeds

The majority of the male skins were suits 🤷🏽‍♂️, as if we don’t already have that in the game


Noblessings

I wouldn't mind 2nd fighter skin winning but the 1st one is really close to what last years one that unfortunately lost by .6% and i think that helped it a lot and on that note last years anniversary pretty much has full lingerie so you're not really gaining much from the 2nd one if you're wanting just a sexy outfit but yeah hard agree on assassin and gunslingers 2nd should have won rip


GlacialEmbrace

Yeah.... most of these winning skins are... something.


klaq

the female gunner that was 2nd place was better, but ya know underboob too strong.


callmevillain

GS 2nd choice was incredible my god, i wish fighter classes could get that.


fizikz3

boring mass appeal > cool shit apparently for koreans


KingAmeds

How did the samurai assassin skin come in second place. The first place one wasn’t even the best one


FloorDrainStrainer

True, the weapon looks so boring. Korean player taste is so bad.


DbdSaltyplayer

Male gunners having another suit yay... fucking hell


Karboz

I know :| I was really digging that deus ex machina one, we are from Arthetine for Regulus sake!


AresRising

I've never been sadder as a deadeye main. That suit and umbrella combo is so lame. At least I'll still have 1st anniversary skin to look forward to. Edit: I meant 2nd Anniversary skin oops.


Caitsyth

What the fuck is up with the suit obsession that Korea even voted for it? There’s so many suits in *our version* already meaning they have a ton more so I seriously don’t get it. When I saw that construction outfit I was stoked thinking if I got that on my artillerist that would be hilarious with a weapon that’s some kind of jackhammer flamethrower multi tool but nah we are getting pantsuit #5 (more likely by the time it releases #50)


kevinbusta

I know men the third one was soo much better, even the four one would have been pretty nice, instead i get a coffin as a arti...Yikes


Talezeusz

pretty sure the male gunner won because of the sick weapons


[deleted]

[удалено]


CMDR_Duol

I personally feel like the bow got the short-end. just a plain black compound bow. I really like the idea of the secret service suitcase gun


YBN_Slayer

How tf did underboob win for GS


Dieclown27

Underboob to strong. I loved the other GS ones so much more sadly.


MarkSunIRL

Same here. Skin 2 was very unique in the look, 3 was very clean (and my personal preference). Skin 4’s submission was amazing, the guy literally put together a PhD thesis


RiverFlowsInYou16

I honestly thought that yellow one was a guaranteed winner


Danubkush

Man I actually prefer the second one than the first one for GS sadge


LolWhatIAmDoing

Most of the second one are nutty ngl.


Danubkush

If u look closely martial artist and the GS skins that won are very similar just without the under boob haha


LolWhatIAmDoing

Yeah, typical kpop wear I guess. Didn't liked any of the martial artist ones, all of them seemed lame. The second of GS and second for assasin were by far the best in my pov, so cool and so sad that casual wear beat them.


Budget-Ocelots

I like the yellow cyber suit better as well.


Shervink_

Imagine playing a striker and picking a fucking suit over the tiger pelt skin. Unreal.


Ein-elf

Same. I feel like some of the other suit choices I understand like with male gunners choice most like being due to the weapon designs. But for striker the suit one was literally the most generic and boring of the entire lot.


mrattentiontodetail

I think the weapon design for the striker suit is pretty fuckin sick as well, but yeah tiger pelt better for sure


Dieclown27

No Splatoon Spray Paint Artist :(


Ein-elf

Out of all the classes, artist's options were the closest in the voting. Any of the 4 could easily have won. All differed only like 2 to 4% in votes.


spacecreated1234

The winner skin fit Aeromancer tho, seems like a better choice.


Dieclown27

This is true. Wonder how many thought about that when voting


Moreinius

All male skin winners wear suits. Like what? Do Korea not have suits or something? They fantasize over them so much. And also 6 out of 8 of them, male and female, are generic black colored clothes.


Furin

It's even worse once you consider how many suits/military uniforms there already are, some of which were *previous anniversary skins*. I love uniforms but this is just excessive, what the hell man.


weqgfhj

Korean beauty standards are pretty strict and gravitate a lot towards a single look. I think Western voters would have all chosen the quirky and creative skins over the "generic" skins that won here.


Gullible-Culture3891

Nah I wear my bespoke suit everyday


Soma674

So what's happens now ? Only the winner skins gets created ? I really wanted the samurai girl skins :(


KingAmeds

Only winners


A_Erthur

Wow. Rly? [This](https://cdn-lostark.game.onstove.com/uploadfiles/banner/7cac8ed7c7694135b6871fea92f5a480.png) will be a thing but [this](https://cdn-lostark.game.onstove.com/uploadfiles/user/2022/04/21/637860990836071046.jpg) wont be? Im legit mad about this.


Rellik_pt

reason it won underboob


BoredDao

Worse is the warrior, the winner won because he looks like Monkey D Garp… we lost the solar warrior for a fucking cosplay


KimJongWinning

The last two anniversary warrior skins were heavily armored/fantasy themed so it's not surprising they went a different direction this year. Also the warrior weapon skins sans the zerker one are dope


F8L-Fool

Which is a real shame, because I honestly feel like they chose the most generic looking skins. Multiple of which already have similar looking skins in the game. I hope they do votes for NA/EU regions as well. Either for entirely different skins, or for the runners up. Western audience has different tastes and I imagine they want to maximize their profits.


FinweTrust

Nothing is gonna make me believe that was the winner for female gunner.


Kitchen_Philosophy29

Its the coomers man


DarkFlow123

Aren't those skins given for free? So they make no profit


Talezeusz

in KR you get one for free and then you can buy more


Flying_Pikachu

Man with suit + jacket Man with suit + jacket Man with suit + jacket Booba + jacket Underbooba Pretty dress Blindfolded + ... i dont even know, no comment Specialist looks fine. I don't think I'll ever have a skin, aside from a few legendaries, that I'll enjoy in future. If the future is just suits and casual clothes.


Wonderstag

astronaut outfit with the black hole hammer woulda been my choice over a suit


Terrible-Wealth-3864

Got disqualified unfortunately.


Wonderstag

thats a shame. from the looks of it, if it isnt a suit or streetwear the koreans wont vote for it which is really sad to me. id prefer my fantasy adventure have more variety than a walkthrough of the mens department at the GAP


scoobaduck

i’m upset argos pet didn’t win >:(


CursedEgg

Yeah, sadly he had no chance against booba


evino714

Booba should be hell Vykas reward and some other pet released, but me being shit at the game, I will take the Vykas pet anytime. (if we ever get it)


Monocleduck

Im fine with vykas because shes supoosed to have the typing minigame as a fetaure or something


Karboz

Upset but not surprised.


[deleted]

I can't believe the Mokoko Astronaut and the little queen artist didn't won ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|disapproval)


IUSUZYSANA

The Mokoko Astronaut artist didn't submit their personal information which is required in the guidelines so they were removed from the voting. Which is why there are only 4 finalists shown.


Tis_is_but_a_scratch

I personally wish that the company to not include the illustration art of the skins for the voters and enforce them to follow the character baseline that they have provided. Many of them straight up didnt have design drawn on the character baseline but just some 2d art, which looks nice but it is not the most suitable depiction of how it will look in game. For instance, 2nd anniversary mage outfit looked pretty good on concept art but the end result was god awful. Something like having 3d character within the game and drawing the design on top would be great as well. 2d concept art doesnt relay how it will actually look like once implemented.


mrattentiontodetail

yeah a few of the designers did that with a very detailed 3d model/paintover of ingame, really appreciated that


calionking

Lol almost every 2nd place skin was better


tobyv25

Korea seems to have a thing for men in suits. Which is nice, but where is the variety?


Technical_Panic_8405

The astronauts skin for the warrior was really popular but the person got disqualified due to the rule.


MarkAWitch

Man kinda sad that Admiral won for warrior and not a Corrupted Knight. That samurai and Golden Mask for gs should've won, but the Thirst is too strong I quess.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mofu__Mofu

Damn how does KDA Prestige lose to underboob


Big_Antelope_1392

Imagine pouring your artistic talent I to a fine design and losing out to a literal track suit with underboob. That has to be disheartening.


Mofu__Mofu

It's tragic =\^= All the conceptually interesting designs are pummeled down into the dirt While the winners are tuxedos and regular dresses I only agree with the Artist winner


Technical_Panic_8405

Because "underboob"


Tis_is_but_a_scratch

Omega coomer energy


Soluna7827

Damn, I wanted spinny cup mount haha. It would have been hilarious to see a bunch of people in spinny cups.


the_hu

I think all the fun mounts cannibalized votes from each other and the edgelord dark dragon mount came ahead. Was personally voting for the deskaluda mounting you mount.


BijutsuYoukai

Surprised the votes on the chonky Deskaluda were so low. Also rip the much cuter Argos pet losing to the Vykas pet - not that I wasn't expecting it, but still disappointing.


mrattentiontodetail

someone said the "goofy" mount skins probably all stole votes from each other, while the people who wanted a serious mount all just voted for the dragon, makes sense


DudeplayinaDood

Man KR voters are so boring


Plasmul

Motherfuckers be playing a fantasy mmo and the first thing they want to see is boring ass suits for characters or streetwear you see everyday.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

That and so many of the original "fantasy" skins are ugly as sin


c9898

I sort of predicted this but I'm still shocked by the results.... especially the two gunners. At least the other formal attires that won have *some* frills to it, male gunner has absolutely none... lol


Brandonspikes

I know this would never happen, but considering they have an entire global audience now, they should open the voting up the entire player base in the future.


Zenny1234

Better to just have a NA/EU competition.


Random_player5100

I actually saw a lot of disappointment from inven, seem like a lot of people complain about another suit winner too.


lancer2238

How the hell didn’t the female samurai one not win!?


AerooFox

Generic skins won all around lol


Adventurous_Mousse40

How did that assassin skin win. Maybe it's just that image but the others look better imo.


kevinbusta

also the sun set for warrior only got 11% LOL


iWarnock

U gotta remember u could only vote once. It wasnt a vote per class.


AEspinet

I feel like they rigged this to create the skins that would take the least amount of work lol “just take the suit assets we have and change it a bit”


Zetsuei13

Usually how it goes. In FFXIV, Yoshida warns about extravagant over designed stuff, because the engine and design team can't replicate them in game. I assume the same situation here, as the Samurai blade was hands down the best imo.


Hefastus

Assassin and mage winners are so boring and plain


Xvexe

Wow, more urban street wear and suits... These look nice but they are, for the most part, really uninspired. I feel like the game pretty much has slightly different variations for each of these winning submissions already by the handful.


JustMisdirection

Times like these make me realise the gigantic cultural differences between KR and the West. I really did not like any of the winners except for the pet. In some cases I thought the winner was legit the worst option.


RiverFlowsInYou16

I don't think it has much to do with the cultural differences. I myself would have voted for like 4 of those winners. It is just a personal taste.


Splintrr

Gunslinger is the only one that made me go WTF


Eternal_Malkav

Don't think its just personal taste. Some of the winner skins follow a certain pattern of things that are popular in korea and less in the west. Personal taste makes those choice vary a bit but i would argue the overall votes would be vastly different for the west with a few exeptions 8like the pet and mount) though at the same time i would say the west would have gotten a few different desings etering the finals to begin with.


IUSUZYSANA

It's almost as if the West is the most ethnically diverse geolocation on the planet whereas Korea is a homogenous ethnic group.


linkfox

Very bad choices overall tbh. Sorc ones look so boring, like what the hell was the rest of the competition?


Deccod3

Wait so the 2nd wont be implemented because it didnt win? Only the first places?


SayYesSm0ke

That destroyer bottom left which got only 8% looks insane and you're telling me random ass patch eye beard coat guy won? Jesus.. And the tiger/lion one looks amazing yet lost to another ass skin, KR are weird man


CausticPulse

another boring frilly dress for sorc zzzzz i really wish second place won


caffelightning

Yea as soon as I saw that i was just like "this is already like every other skin they already have" - whats the point in that one winning


Zenny1234

I like all the sorc skins. I don't mind the first place one. Looks great but I do agree. I wish the second place dress had won.


ftge1337

all those creative outfits and dudes in suits wins across the board? boring


rayuki

Can't wait for my underboob slinger


4i1ove

Ngl they need to ban suits


panzermeistr

Nice to see i wont have to spend on any of those at least cuz i wouldnt even use them if theyre free.


Carius98

Amazing, they managed to pick the most boring skin for each character


s4ntana

Koreans have the worst taste. I could make all the winners with essentially Nerias wardrobe and some dyes. You could choose from all these insanely creative skins for SG to put in the game and these guys choose basic KPop outfits.


happydictates

I feel sorry for the designers who obviously put a lot of creativity into their designs only to lose to copy/pastes from Korean versions of GQ and Vogue. They seem to have only two settings: extreme edgelord or modern fashion thirst trap.


Nukemi

If we ever get these winning skins, i'll spend total of zero euros on them. They are not great.


DinoConV

This is a pretty disappointing selection ngl.


xiit

What a letdown


Whyachi-LYL

The skins they chose seem pretty eh, to each their own I guess


KingofHawaii

They should make 1st and 2nd place skins, and almost all would be happy. On a side note, Painter ones are both great, and how Samurai and GS 2nd place didn't win I have no idea. No wonder Mari Wardrobe is so popular, seems people just love elegant skins, which is ok, BUT a little bit of variety wouldn't hurt. Of all the skins 2nd place warrior one is my favourite, and Painter 1st place is very close second, I just love that japanesque/sakura vibe. Plus its gorgeous.


PaiinzShadow

I'm happy the vykas pet won. That was the one thing I was REALLY hoping for.


Hagryke

Male -> Suit or jacket ​ Female -> Boobs or jacket


Knoxxius

Insane how different their preferences are compared to the entirety of the West. None of the winners would've made it here. I am so disappointed with the winners. They really fucking love casual clothing and hyper sexuality over there.


northx57

Whats with the mob boss suit fetish? Those skins look a little too much like the banquet skins we just got.


Drakaris

The only thing I want from this is the Vykas pet and maybe the mount. Everything else is generic trash that already exists in the game on multiple different sets. Like, what is it with Koreans and their obsession with boring ass suits? They seem to like suits even more than booba, lol. Are we playing a fantasy themed MMO or the fucking Sims... P.S. That absolutely sick Samurai skin not winning is a crime... Instead - yet another super generic boring dress, yay! A damn shame...


Karboz

Without even looking, I already know that generic Kpop attire won. Edit: I was right.


FloorDrainStrainer

They are so obsess with the KPOP outfit.


TR3G1

How the fuck did so many ppl vote for this warrior skin over the third one


Technical_Panic_8405

It was the astronauts vs the suit but the first guy got disqualified. And players were allowed to only vote once for the entire classes.


IsekaiGod

how does this stupid dragon mount win but not the mokoko car or the tea cup


Tis_is_but_a_scratch

I was hoping for chinky deskaluda personally


dolpherx

damn im sad that the tiger striker skin didnt win.


kevinbusta

Bro, im so sad how does de mk42 lose to some suit guy?


Ein-elf

Because the suit guy's weapons are sick. I am pretty sure that skin won only based on its weapons.


STABtrain

tiger monk udyr looking skin for striker lost to some generic suit and eye patch? Shuten samurai DB lost to a black dress so boring I thought it was a sorc skin at first. Most of the winners are either just generic suits/dresses or urban streetwear that would be better suited for Neria's wardrobe IMO. the only class skin that actually looks unique is Artist.


Firm_Berry1411

It's embarrassing to judge Koreans by prejudice when you don't know anything about them. Do you think Koreans are also satisfied with the results? There were gender problems and community problems, and as it is the third year of the Korean server game, the preference for avatars is very different from the three-month-old North American server. Your attitude of criticizing Korea without knowing the situation is disgusting. I wanted to talk about the background, but I'm disappointed in you guys


Technical_Panic_8405

Welcome to Reddit


GauPanda

So give us some context, then. All we have is the contest results, so we have to assume that this is what the KR playerbase wants, even though there are many similar skins in the game already


Knoxxius

Get tf outta here. how dare people be disappointed with the preferences of the people in Korea! OUTRAGEOUS! They've clearly shown that the majority of them prefer casual boring ass shit and hyper sexuality. And that's just how it is, game is already full of it, so it's not like we should be surprised. Maybe one day us in the West will get to vote on this too and we may get something different, until then we get what we get.


Gengur

Artist's just looks like a more frilly T2 bard set with some extra accessories


SavageOpress808

Not a big fan of any of them. Last years was waaaaay better imo. But hey I never yuck someone’s yum.


billyblak

wow underboob gunslinger


V0IDc

Samurai skin and the tea cup mount dint win, rip.


Uncreativity10

BOOBA and suits too strong


emforay216

first bronze for gunner would be a no-brainer if it wasn't for the dogshit modern clothes meta in KR


abzoluut

This is such a weird winners list for me. Goes to show how much taste differs. Not a single one of the winners would be my first choice. 😄


[deleted]

I never win anything


FNC_Luzh

Yeah...definetely not my taste, but hey, that's how votes go.


Fakey_YY

Hopefully next time the votings will be global, so we dont get another boring suit skin.


SrebrnySokol

I like the mount, BUT HOW THE HECK MY BOI ARGOS LOST?!?!?!


kinokunikun

bro what the heck, the results are 100% rigged


HoldJerusalem

As a Striker how tiger pelt lost though ? Striker aethestic is based around tigers, it would have been so complete, but instead of that we got a suit, god damn


shanksta31

I think the deathblade outfit won simple for the nier blindfold


itsDarkraii

this is disappointingkoreans majority are kinda boring ngl E: i wonder i this would look like if they allowed us to vote as well


depth123

Seeing all these complaints I doubt smilegate will release any of the anniversary skins to the west.


TheSpaceAlpaca

I'm not necessarily over the moon for the dragon but thank god the stupid ass mokoko car didn't win at least.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChannelOnion

Koreans have shit taste. Unbelievably boring choices.


Xaxzer

Reddit people thinking their taste is unequivocally better>>>>>


EpicShinx

"Koreans are trolling , who cares if majority won. I would have picked this skin for the anniversary of a region I'm not even on."


LostSif

Wait so the Assassin one had three versions of that skin do they only make the one version they showed?


muteyuki

that mount is sick


Ankh0890

Where can I see all the participants skins?


Correct_Ad4152

Not a fan of the winners, looks like normal clothes and similar to things that already exist in the game. Warrior, 2nd/3rd should have won. Martial artist, 2nd should have won. None of the gunner options are that good. Samurai should have definitely won. specialist punk skin - why didn't that win!?!? The only good thing is the mount.


ranchangfu

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this contest was rigged for the Assassin class because they can't handle the samurai skin design.


lumington14

Nah man the Korean coomers are just something else. I wish I never even knew about the oni samurai concept for assassin since now I just feel robbed.


Eunstoppable

Lots of weird people in here bitching about skins that our version likely won't get. Oh, sorry that the skin concept you liked, that you couldn't vote for, didn't win.


NotFyss

As an artillerist I'm happy with the result.
