Yeah she had no idea what FYI meant. So that makes sense.

I have been quite happy with the Lynn changes, gives me more reason to care about gold orbs, no flinch resetting stuff like Titan by mistake, and divine spear has a use. Oh and Little Rat blocking just about everything.

It's nice that I don't have to choose between gold orbs and Flying Snow as much as before, but Lynn still needs more improvement. I think my biggest complaint is that Thunderleg isn't comparable in effectiveness to other dodges. Make it go further, or add more invuln frames, or let it pass through obstacles more easily. The only good thing to say about Thunderleg is that it's spammable. That's not high praise when Sword Vella is the only class I play that doesn't have any easy-to-spam defensive skills. EDIT: I just remembered some other complaints. Detonating ten stacks on a boss mid-attack often resets its attack and allows it to act again immediately. This is kind of a problem if you detonate them with Flying Snow, since that skill immobilizes you for enough time that the boss can hit you with relative impunity. I also have a complaint that only make sense in the context of the Muir fight: if you use Little Rat near a ledge then by golly, the game WILL launch you in the direction of that ledge even if you try to position yourself so your back is not facing the ledge.

I like Lynn, spinning around, shlonging through chumps like "heh naw kid, can't hit me" *flying guillotine on your face* Her rotation feels a little long to me though, it's easy to get sidetracked and lose what you're doing and become reactive to the boss instead of proactive. Her actives are/were real dumb though.

People don't want to do 24-man raids because they're the worst ever. How can we fix this?quote:The greatest threats in Vindictus are far too strong for a single warrior to face alone. When facing a beast that could destroy a town just by landing on it, you need trusted allies to watch your back and provide your foe with someone else to eat. To help the warriors of Colhen get more accustomed to fighting in a unified force, the Royal Army has dedicated a bounty of prizes for those who battle as a group!

binow got me into this game, its a lot of fun! general questions for the thread how tryhardy is the pvp? example, in wow you can casually do arenas for fun, but theres ladders and rankings and if you place top whatever you get rare prizes; is there something like that for vindictus? do they have online tournaments? are there pvp groups within lionheart? raiding, are the endgame bosses difficult; needing a certain level of coordination, again, similar to hard mode vs normal raids ala wow/ff14? if so, are there set groups within LH or is it just get whoever together and go? i know there's tons of channels so this probably contributed to why i didn't see a ton of people on, but for the east server how many people typically play, or is that not something that's known? picked evie because i usually roll casters and its a lot of fun so far, so i think i'll be in it for the long haul

Rafza posted:binow got me into this game, its a lot of fun! general questions for the thread PVP is unbalanced garbage and there's basically a few cosmetic things and some useful trinkets that you can get from it, but you can just farm the medals for them in arena with a second account or other people. There's a guild named Siege that does PVP pretty frequently on East. Outside of a couple of raids, high level raids don't really require coordination between people, but they are difficult because you have to learn their attack patterns and how your character deals with them. Most of the fight execution gimmicks can be done by one person who knows what they're doing. There's basically 3 tiers of raids: level 60 (season 1), 80 (season 2), and 90 (season 3 and Niflheim). Your gear level kind of dictates just how hard the raids are, but barring having a totally absurd amount of defense and full level 90 gear, all three tiers have bosses that will wreck your poo poo. Season 2 and 3 raids are the main endgame right now, the season 1 raids don't have much in the way of things people actually want now. For the most part raids are just grab some dudes and go. It's very rare for raids to fail in this game, especially with the self revival cash items (which are frequently given away, I've got like 150 each of the personal and party ones and I've never bought one). A good enough player with adequate gear can basically solo any raid in the game. I'm assuming you're familiar with wow so you can say the raids are more like Onyxia than anything else. You go in and fight a boss, a few of them have a little bit of trash but raids are basically just single 6-8 man boss battles. Lion Heart has a number of people who host raids, and you can host your own raids as well if you've got a good internet connection and a good CPU. If you're in a low # channel you'll probably see a bunch of people. Lion Heart crew sticks to channel 40. Evie owns I should play my Stevie more. Also hit up Holodeck if you're on East and want help/a guild.

Rafza posted:cool thanks I don't think there's any real ranking system, although your character sheet will track your arena wins and your duel win/loss ratio (duels can be done within battles so they are extra dumb). FORTUNATELY they don't gently caress with the main game of monster slaying for the sake of PVP balance, practically every ability works differently in PVP and stats get weird. You probably won't be able to reasonably PVP until the level cap, since that's where all the people who bother with it will be. If you want to know more about PVP from someone who doesn't think it's the dumbest poo poo in this game, I can refer you to a friend in Siege who might paint it in a positive light Raiding is the real game and it owns bones. I like to describe the combat in this game as some kind of combination of Monster Hunter (fighting big things and sometimes knocking off bits of them), Dynasty Warriors (wasting mooks), and Platinum's games (super fast paced and precise combat). And all that is wrapped up in some really dumb standard Korean MMO poo poo but its still good. Bakalakadaka fucked around with this message at 15:47 on May 20, 2016 |

I'm on vacation and phoneposting so no link, but the Lochlann update is coming soon. Since there are now boss drop outfits for all four armor types, upcoming raid bosses are apparently going to drop essences for accessories. Accessenceories. The next boss will drop an essence needed to make earrings. Those of us who are still wearing shield badges and sarghamiu's nose ring will get a good upgrade. If you're wearing black pearl earrings then maybe it'll be worth it I dunno.

Lochlann is here today. First, The actual update page: quote:The war against the Fomors has shifted to the offensive. As the Royal Army leads the charge against the Fomor horde and pushes into territory long lost to humanity, the path ahead grows darker, more bizarre, more... wrong. The next chapter in the story of Vindictus has arrived with the Lochlann: Plains of Corruption update! quote:Enchant Scrolls in the Marketplace We can finally buy and sell enchant scrolls without interacting with other people. I wonder how many man-hours went into overhauling the market code to make that possible. quote:Additional Changes The Clover event is back loving crap poo poo hell drat crap: quote:As you venture out into Lochlann's corrupted fields and beyond, you're going to need all the backup you can find. An experienced warrior at your side, a powerful spell enchanting your blade and... the finest earrings glinting in the starlight. Three events arrive for the month of June, here to help you grow stronger as the story of Lochlann unfolds. UPDATE: Scratch the hell out of this complaint; the packages are tradeable within accounts. Everything is good. Everything is fine. quote:Faint Essence Event UPDATE: Turns out the Broken Essence is almost as rare as the actual Eochaid Essence.

Titles obtained by doing stuff and/or things in Lochlann Plains. Is it possible to escape Pestis? I think the game says to mash E but that's never worked for me or anyone I've asked about it. UPDATE: I checked the forums and found a thread about the issue. Someone said mashing E 25-35 works and, well, I didn't count but it feels like that many presses. I'm currently 9/25 of the way to getting the title. ArchWizard fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Jun 7, 2016 |

The Jump Event is back in a form that is okay I guess?quote:You've beaten your way through Seasons 1 and 2, slain countless foes, fought through dungeons one after another and laid low monsters that were a few hundred tons heavier than you. You’ve proven your skill, and as you look to try out one of Vindictus' other characters, the Jump to 75 Event is here to help you bring your newest mercenary up to form in no time at all! The big question: Is it worth using my free bonus slot to make a character that I can power level to 90 for free accessories? Of significantly lesser interest is the Orchid Fauna Chest event, wherein Nexon sells you a box that might contain an outfit. I don't normally mention cash shop events but I have to bring it up to ask: At what point during the sale event are you supposed to get the lowest price on outfits from the marketplace? The middle? Near the end? Because I suspect having a bunny babe outfit on hand will pay off some day. UPDATE: I totally forgot to mention an important thing. Did you notice the new equipment slot that came with the Lochlann Plains update? It's for tails. Tails come in the Orchid Fauna Chest. Sometimes. They're not cheap.
