Vindictus

Re: Vindictus

Attempting to spark idle conversation by updating progress on crafting the Scarlet Witch Set. Currently have the top and the skirt crafted, and did a bit of dyeing, as well. Only need the shoes and the gloves, and I will have the complete set. Then I can get all the battle points on Boat 1 and then be on my merry way; Gnoll Chieftain speed run's gonna be a bitch, though, just barely soloed it on my permarookie Fiona.



PS: I realized another potential for permarookies; material farming. Without the need to pay tokens and without the need to repair or anything, getting gnoll leathers, cloth, and pretty much anything that can be grabbed from Boat 1 can be done on a permarookie character in order to save time and money in terms of repairs and tokens. At least, that's the way I see it, anyway.

Re: Vindictus

You can't craft higher level gear with boat 1 stuff, and I could just run it in the fraction of the time with my main. Armour doesn't deteriorate on boat 1.

Re: Vindictus

Still, you never know when you may need generic cloth and/or generic leather for one reason or another (like, say, crafting fine leather and whatnot). But, just a thought. I will probably do this every time I need some cloth and whatnot, mainly so that I can try and continue to give a permarookied Fiona some sort of purpose in her permarookie life. (Although at this point I'm probably just making excuses.)

PS: Random thought, but people are more interested in games ending with the word "craft" than games not ending with the word "craft", apparently.

Re: Vindictus

Bump

I downloaded and played this today

Prologue was cheesy ****

Evie is <3, I lol'd when you can adjust her chest size

Battle seems a bit bland at the moment but I'm pretty sure it'll improve later. Right now non-boss enemies are pretty much a joke and avoiding attacks is easy as ****

Re: Vindictus

I was jealous that I couldn't play it.. Only US servers..

But then I got a proxifier and tried the game out. With maxed out graphics and whatnot, I played it for a day or two. Soon I got tired of the combat I keep using the same moves over and over again. And you have to repeat many levels again and again and the levels have the same mobs. Same routine all the time.

I'm not saying I hated it. I was all like " Oh my god! This is so Chuck Norris! " when I started playing, and I was addicted to grabbing enemies I just lived it. I also achieved the title neck grabber for it. but then I don't know. I didn't feel like going through the trouble of finding proxies to play it. so I stopped.

So yeah. The game was good. I loved the combat system and Tokens system. Maybe it would've been more fun If I played with a party who had Mics and talk smack while playing. Would've been fun.

Re: Vindictus

Of the 3 current characters, Evie is the least bland. Problem is, Evie doesn't get interesting until level 40+ for both staff and scythe. Then the problem with that is that new content (and hence, level cap) isn't slated until December. If anything I recommend waiting until the boat 4 patch is out and see how the mid-game appeals to you. Fiona remains the same until max level, Evie gets a **** ton of skills she doesn't start out with.

I play MMOs all the time so mission grinding isn't a problem to me. I also almost exclusively play warrior classes (berserkers, paladins, etc) so it feels perfectly at home to me.

Best part about the game to me is the fact I can do this to my face:



@ James: the bosses on Boat 1 are obviously going to be easy (why would the starter bosses be hard?). The game is easy as a whole anyway, with the only hard missions being available at 30/36 respectively.

p.s. evie has a nice polygon ass

Karok trailer from the Korean version of Vindictus.

Two words: Holy. ****.

Re: Vindictus

Just got linked. Looks boss, but we won't be seeing him for a long time.

And as awesome as that smash block is, I doubt he can dodge or even roll. That's probably his only defensive maneuvre..

Well, in the case of playing Vindictus I haven't, but whenever Karok comes out for NA Vindictus, I'll definitely have to pick up Vindictus again so I can play as him.

And I do agree on the heavy counter, in terms of balance; since Karok is obviously a big and bulky powerhouse character, it's a pretty good guess that, while Karok will be able to counter heavy attacks from bosses, he will not be able to otherwise defend himself or dodge attacks like Evie, Lann, and Fiona can.

Still, I consider Karok to be a powerhouse character from the teaser trailer, and pretty much a full-on offensive character. But I must say, he definitely looks badass, especially with those times in the trailer where he headbutts a mini-boss fomor and then proceeds to beat the **** of out said fomor with his fists. The backbreaker moment with that vampire was definitely awesome, as well. Hell, everything about Karok sounds awesome.

Re: Vindictus

I tried to party a couple of days ago and it lagged like hell damn
People are surprisingly bad at dodging in this game, maybe it was the lag?

Anyway that Karok dood looks pretty badass
I like it how he just pulverizes everything (not like everyone can't already do that but) and can just stop a ****ing... mammoth? (et related bosses) LoL

Connections are P2P with the party leader. Don't ask me why, because I'm not sure myself. In any case, unless your party leader has a good transfer rate you will lag. Quite badly I might add, because latency with Nexon servers is awful in the first place.

Many times have I partied with people only to discover I skipped around for an entire map or my FPS dropped to like 5.

The spine snap had me in a literal, "OHOHO SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT BOIIIIIIIIIIIIII" moment, where I yelled at my monitor for something incredibly badass in an online MMO. Published by Nexon, made by a dev studio under Nexon.

Why can't you snap spines in MapleStory?

Anyway if I were to speculate how the game balance would work (since if Karok was this awesome you'd ignore the other characters, and I doubt Kai will be nearly as impressive in terms of brute strength), he's going to have a lot of defensive issues. No dodge/roll most likely (or a really crappy one like Evie's hop), the smash block will most likely consume a ton of stamina for a mediocre amount of damage and since I figure he can't block or dodge, his other asset will probably be a large HP pool. Other problems I could forsee are problems with him outside of boss fights are issues with his speed. He'll probably run slower, and generally kill mobs slower than anybody else. In a room with a bunch of weak mobs his showy over the top moves will probably become pretty irritating, compared to spear Lann that runs into a room and Hurricane 3690s until everything is dead in 5 seconds. You can't deny how long his grapple moves took and how slowly he was attacking anything.

But this is all speculation on a single video. We'll see how KR players fare with him
