ArchWizard: Mar 27, 2009; There's the Roy I know ~~and love~~.

Today is Sunday. There are two numbers. Number 7 comes from Ahglan and Advisor Shamir. Number 8 comes from Longboot Matty and Bark No. 1. Do you know why 7 is afraid of 8? It's because 8 is dropped by the worst bosses ever.

UPDATE: The two babby stimulants, Dead Run and Lion's Roar, are incredibly good for Bark. If you're playing on Easy, you can cross the map in a few seconds with Dead Run, then one-shot all of the components with Lion's Roar. If you're not playing on easy, Dead Run will still let you cross the map incredibly quickly and it even lets you outrun explosions.

Today is Friday and the number is 13. Too spoopy, or just spoopy enough? Well, that's all beside the point, which is that today's number comes from Keaghan and Slithering Mare. Did you know they recently redubbed all of Keaghan's dialogue for some reason? Somehow they made some of the cutscenes worse.

Also: After fighting Keaghan with a scythe Evie, I've decided Evie isn't so bad. She's still not great, but she definitely has moments where she's more fun than my other characters.

There's a Nexon Player Appreciation Event starting tomorrow and it seems pretty crappy. Graces, blessing stones, seven days of VVIP, and a seven-day Cadet Badge. Woo. Cool. And it's one character per account.

Oh boy, it's another number that you need to be 80+ to get. People have suggested this is a ham-handed way to get people to buy bingo numbers, but:

- Most players are missing the numbers on their alts, not their mains
- Most players would rather buy the commander's package because it's cheaper than two bingo pouches
- This whole thing is pissing people off so they refuse to buy anything

I wonder how this is all going to wash out.

If they really cared about their alts then they would also be level 90 and geared and have 400+ titles. Then this wouldn't be a problem.

They don't care about the alts; they care about ~Free Stuff~

Also, there's a "new" event. It's that stupid Gold Junior Chieftain upgrade event so it's not new. It's also completely irrelevant to your life if you don't already have a junior chieftain pet now or in the near future. This is arguably better than an event that encourages you to play on alts you don't like.

Hagie is coming eventually I guess I don't see what this event has to do with him but whatever

quote:

A mysterious visitor has ventured into the town of Colhen, and rumors fly between the townspeople, voices whispering in hushed alarm as Fergus is suddenly giving far better deals than normal on his repairs, and now powerful items are just appearing out of nowhere as others wake in the morning. Whatever is happening, some speculate that this traveler is somehow responsible.

Over the next five weeks, ending Sunday, December 27th, weekly bonuses and a massive attendance event are coming to Vindictus as a new player makes his way into town, and our new friend is just warming up...

Phantom Mage Attendance Event

Rewards are coming for every day for the next five weeks! This Attendance Event works the same as the ones in the past: Every day you login to Vindictus you'll get a new prize down the list automatically rewarded. If you miss a day, you won't miss the next day's prize or have to start over, you'll keep going down the list next time you login. You can't miss too many days, however: you have 35 days to claim 28 days worth of prizes if you want the big rewards at the end of the list!

Phantom Mage Boost Event

Boosts are also coming over the next five weeks, making the war against the Fomors just a little easier. Each week will alternate between making your gear cheaper to repair, so that it stops being in danger of falling off after a stiff breeze, and making the Random Dye system's fees cheaper, so your armor can look its best before it gets torn to shreds. The final two weeks will have a special bonus as well, giving double EXP and AP between the hours of 5 PM and 9 PM PST!

I like that you can miss several days without missing out on prizes. I also like that you don't have to do any work to get the prizes. I only have to log in the characters that I want to play!

This mis-reading of the event tricked the poo poo out of me and I didn't bother to log in while I was out of town. It's just a normal attendance event and you miss out on later items for each day you miss. Goodbye sweet premium rune.

My interpretation was based on this passage, particularly the bolded bit:

I don't know what else they could be saying besides "you can miss several days without losing out on any rewards."

Additional Character Slots

We understand that many of our players have several characters already, and thus might not have room for Sylas. Well, no need to shell out for a Premium Character Slot or agonize over what character to delete: With the Sylas Update, all accounts will have an extra Character Slot to use, a total of 6 free character slots!

We've also expanded the number of character slots per account as well. With the Sylas Update, you can purchase up to 14 Premium Character Slots, granting up to 100% bonus Battle EXP, a total of 20 characters possible per account.

There is a new gear restoration calculator available at http://coronaplease.tumblr.com/aprestore. I don't like it because it's not obvious where the drop-down boxes are, but at least it's up to date.

Also, I finally found out that the next character after Sylas MacHagie is named Delia:

# ¿ Dec 7, 2015 01:40

ArchWizard: Mar 27, 2009; There's the Roy I know ~~and love~~.

The devs actually remembered that "Vindictus humans live under a monarchy" thing when designing Delia:

quote:

Mabinogi Heroes Developer�s Note : The princess embarking on the path of Knighthood

Introducing the 11th character of Mabinogi Heroes (aka Vindictus), Delia.

She is a character who uses a massive Bastard Sword the size of her height and focuses on delivering crushing physical blows.

So the Bastard Sword, which Delia uses for both attacking and defending, can be seen as a representation of her combat style.

Delia�s general combat is designed around [basic attack + smash] + basic add-on smash + enhanced add-on smash.

To provide more detail, her add-on smash changes depending on the timing her smash key is pressed.

She will use her basic add-on smash on a quick keystroke.

She will use her enhanced add-on smash on a delayed keystroke.

Delia�s basic add-on smash can be used to quickly attack an active opponent and immediately avoid any retaliation and her enhanced add-on smash is slow but can be used to deliver a powerful blow against an enemy with an opening.

So these two smashes are her key feature which are chosen depending on the situation.

Delia�s basic add-on smash comes with additional effects that aid her in battle. On-hit, she will gain a stamina recovery effect and an effect that increases the damage of her enhanced add-on smash.

Meanwhile her enhanced add-on smash has multiple hits on it to increase the feeling of impact of the attack and to provide a way to maximize her dps by timing enhanced add-on smashes correctly so that all hits, maxed at 3 hits, connect.

The keyword for developing Delia was �strike�.

We tried to design a character that players could enjoy purely centered around powerful physical blows. Wild Star is a skill that exemplifies this concept.

Wild Star unleashes a different attack depending on how much it is charged; starting from a flinch to initiate a combo to an attack that sends her opponent flying.

A full charged Wild Star causes Delia to pursue her enemy to deliver a powerful strike. If this attack is delivered to a groggy opponent then it will be followed by a powerful skill named Queen�s Grace.

Queen�s Grace is a devastating attack that also locks down an enemy for a long time.

One more thing about Queen�s Grace. Delia has a special connection with Karok and Queen�s Grace can be used more effectively when teamed with Karok.

Is there anything here that makes her more than a sexy Hurk?

Also lol

quote:

The final skill to introduce in this note is Rose Crush.

Rose Crush is a skill that greatly increases Delia�s combat ability for a short duration in exchange for destroying her armor. Since the duration of this effect is limited, it should be used with caution. Preferably when the battle is about to end.

Is there anything here that makes Rose Crush more than a second, worse transformation?

    Each Objective will only reward once per account.
    Prizes will be automatically rewarded to participating accounts, once the Objective is completed, to the current character if the player is online,
    or to the last character that contributed to the Objective if the player is offline.
    Ultimate Objective Packages and Tickets can be sent to other characters on the same account, either via Shared Storage or through mail.
    Ultimate Objective Footprint Tickets can be redeemed until the maintenance on Wednesday, January 27th, 2016.

Pay attention to that requirement: For best results, either contribute to every objective with at least one character. Or, you can just stay logged on.

    Login Appreciation Tickets will become unusable once the Login Appreciation Event is completed
    Login Appreciation Tickets are placed in the NX Tab of a character's Inventory

If you just want a free permanent inner armor for one of your less-favorite characters, that's slightly over four straight days online. That's not too bad, I guess.

Since it's free grace time, I decided to make some progress on my Evie and fought Muir for the first time. Holy crap I cannot believe how fun it is to zip around with Blink and keep smacking him while he can barely touch me. It took a while because of my crappy gear, but I managed to beat him without even using any pots or graces. Then I got to the point where I had to knock him off the ledge and it only took three tries. It felt really drat good to finish him off with so little fuss.

In conclusion: Wizards are actually... good?!?!?!?!?

what got me was.. that's not even a raid

My guess is that they're farming for loot, so they want to go as fast as possible.

It's a shame you don't have someone like West server's BattleLore. He hosts 70-80 raids with ATT maximums and carries the people who join. Nice guy. I think he even wears a Santa outfit while he does it.

The Karok revamp is almost here.

General:

Karok does more damage
Karok takes less damage
More SP gain while hitting stuff
Less stamina consumption while hitting stuff
More ranks for Clash, Boss Bash, and Grapple Mastery
Every Karok gets a super-duper skill reset capsule

Pillar:

Several new passives that boost your stats and damage
A skill that can be used after you've thrown your pillar that lets you beeline towards it while giving no fucks about whatever's in your way

Cestus:

A new skill called Weaving lets you basically no-sell an incoming attack (didn't Karok already have that? I could have sworn I saw it in an early trailer video)
A new skill called Brutal Flurry that turns the punching up to 12 and lets you beat on a dude until your stamina runs out

Alas, this update comes with a severe gently caress You to all the players: Season 2 is no longer for noobs, scrubs, choggs, bloufs, or turrs.

quote:

Season 2 Improvements
While Season 3 has been the big story for the last few months, it's high time for Season 2 to get a second look. With the Karok Unleashed update, Season 2 will be overhauled from an area for level 50-70 characters and will now cater to characters between levels 70 and 90, with improved rewards, increased difficulty and more. Characters below Level 70 will be unable to enter Season 2 missions, so get up there if you want to keep exploring the islands around Malina!

I have yet more news about my least favorite solo boss, Muir. I was reading yet another thread on the Vindi forums about how much everybody hates Muir and I learned a tidbit: His weakpoint is not on his back. It turns out it's actually on the back of his right leg. If you aim for that, you can flinch him fairly consistently. Getting him into position to get knocked off the ledge without getting knocked off yourself is still hard with certain characters, but at least I no longer flail at his back and get mad because it's not affecting him.

But giving people less choice in the content they are able to do at any given time is always a bad thing and it's especially bad when a game already asks you to repeat so much of the same as this one does. They could have added another tier of difficulty on top of the existing ones instead of just upping the level on it.

Season 2 battles have had Hero mode tabs on them for years, so I think this is what they intended to do from the beginning. I guess they changed their mind around the same time they decided to remove the 8-29 and 30-49 difficulties.

There's a +1 raids and bonus EXP/AP event going on this weekend. This is a good time to level up some alts so they won't be shut out of the new Season 2 or the next bingo event.

We're going to get Battle Priest and Battle Nun outfits soon. I don't care. I only want the Battle Rabbi outfit.
