Re: Vindictus

The only other thing I have tested is seeing if equipment that is not from Boat 1 (even as a permarookie you can still level up, mainly from grinding Daily AP quests and from grinding the Gnoll Chieftain) can be not only equipped, but used without having to worry about the condition on the equipment in itself.

You need both armour mastery and weight mastery to equip later sets. Considering that all AP from boat 1 can drop to 0 (due to not using tokens), you won't be able to use any of the later gear and any AP you get is from meditation.

You also lose out on extra skills (like Counterattack for Fiona)

Yeah, those are the only downfalls. But, in the end, given the time and effort, it is possible for the most part, as you can still level up, and of course the meditation AP.

Re: Vindictus

Played it about a week with my friend. We reached Level 11 with ease and decided it's just to monotonous for us.
Pretty fun for a while but too repetitive for us.
Might come back if more diverse content is established.
Also... too many unnecessary/obnoxious quests. Pretty sure we have about 20 quests in the quest helper.

Re: Vindictus

The game is actually quite grindy, yes. I think I've played too many Korean MMOs; grinding is second nature to me now.

They're pretty big downfalls, but whatever works for you. I'd rather just ration my tokens and wait for resets.

Re: Vindictus

Played it one day and got level 11 and i'm already considering restarting 'cause i feel like i level'd too fast instead of grinding all the title and stuff and i'm losing track of which maps to grind to get X item for lol secondary quest. But yeah, this is a lot more entertaining than a lot of random free mmorpgs i've played so far..

Good game but haven't tried with anyone yet.
Are you guys playing in West or East server? ?_?

The titles give +1 stat for stupid amounts of work. It really isn't worth it, unless the title has a funny name to it or something. Some are fun to do (Fanatical Neck Grabber - 500 sp smashes) but I get really irritated when people tell me "SPEAR KILL BOSS FOR TITLE" when I'm running Tyrant/BP or whatever. I couldn't give less of a **** about +1 WIL.

I play on East. SN is Xiao. Lv38 Fiona

Well, a workaround is a workaround, you can't expect it to be perfect. But, I have fun with it, and if someone else decides to give it a go, they're more than welcome to.

Re: Vindictus

Well, today's the day where Nexon will be inviting angry Token System protesters to their offices. I'm sure lots of people are interested as to how this little event will turn out.

Re: Vindictus

I'm not getting my hopes up. The big Evie patch is only 2 days away - implementing a hotfix within this timeframe would be absurd.

Even if it came relatively soon I still can't see Nexon doing much good. Maybe I'm a pessimist.

Re: Vindictus

The token system really doesn't effect me all that much, I hardly play Vindictus to begin with. But, yeah, I have to agree that whatever Nexon decides to do won't be happening too soon.

Re: Vindictus

A bit of a double post, but the meeting has come and gone, and from what I've seen on the Nexon forums, the meeting appears to have been not only a success, but was also productive. From what I've read, bout' 15 people got chosen to go to the Nexon offices, and plenty of ideas were discussed and whatnot.

In other news, can't wait for tomorrow. Gonna get me an Evie and get her started; I believe I'll be giving her my Gnoll Chieftain Hood off of my Lann, since I'm not wearing it anymore (assuming that it's mailable). Fiona has one also, but she's keeping hers, and even if I un-permarookie her, I'd still stick with the hood. Yes, I'm that stubborn, but at least it's not like Maplestory where one incorrect AP/SP application completely screws up and nerfs your character.

Re: Vindictus

Just read the thread. Seems interesting enough, but I'm skill skeptical. I'll wait and see what happens. As of right now I'm just running the dailies and logging off, then killing my tokens on Thursday/Sunday night. Or just helping random low levels run Kobold Chief or whatever.

Re: Vindictus

Oh wow. They actually went with a M/Th/Sa reset, which is perfectly fine with me. Some of my faith in Nexon NA has been restored.

Time to grind!

Re: Vindictus

My Evie's currently Level 13 right now, currently working to get the full Scarlet Witch set so I can be better prepared for Boat 2; this pretty much means that my Evie is permarookied for now until I can get the set together and completed. Essentially speaking, me and the Gwynn's Request and Decisive Battle battle quests are about to become very, very close friends for quite a while.

But I must say, that Scarlet Witch set looks particularly awesome IMO.
