Rumors are all over the internet that CSE plan on releasing CU without the Shapeshifter classes, which are to be added at some point post release. This feels underwhelming, to say the least, considering it sounds like the more advanced/complex class to play. Is there any verified source for such information or is it simply not true?

Well it was the class I was most interested in to begin with, so that figures.
This point early in the archetype's reveal stream. (3:10 if you're on mobile.)
This is not a rumor :) this is fact!
Meh. The fact that it's one of the more advanced/complex classes to play is probably the reason for it.
As for my level of disappointment, it depends on how long "after launch" we're talking about. A month? Hey, fugheddaboutit. 3 months? We'll live. 7 months? Now we're talking big disappointment.
I agree, it depends on how long after release we will be looking to get these classes inserted.
Now hear me out though, if shapeshifter is a class trio that really fits a certain element of a group well, I will be more disappointed than if they are easily swapped out for another class with the same kind of archetype, but just a different way of performing that role.
At any rate, this kind of information will be fleshed out a lot more over the coming months.
Nah screw that I would rather them wait until all classes are ready to go and release it all at once. Its complete crap that anyone that wants to play Shapeshifter would have to suffer a late start.
They won't be in at launch and they aren't the only class trio that won't be.
The game is going to have like 20ish classes at release, I'm sure you can do without shapeshifter for a few months after launch.
20ish classes counting the triads individually? I can't access the site but I thought it was like 8 classes per faction.
8 x 3 = 24
So what is the other trio that we will be missing?
I believe that CU will launch without Spirit Mages (spirit pet summoners), Scouts, Rogues (Veilstalkers/Walkers i.e. stealthers) and of course Shapeshifters.
TL:DR 7x3 = 21.
