DRIVE BY RANDOM TITLING! YOU MAY BE NEXT!
I'm using the +5 "welcome back" gear set that seems incredibly overpowered for my level to plow through content before it disappears in a month. At the risk of being forced to run around in horribly out dated gear, how hard is the gear progression as you're leveling up past the late teens?

Edit: in as JohnShaft

Trivially easy as long as you aren't trying to get every single set. Before the XP revamp I was able to upgrade my armor regularly up to level 60, and managed to complete a decent 60 set by about level 61. You'll get a few sets for free anyway. Level 70 is when it becomes a completely ridiculous grindfest which I am thankfully avoiding for now because Evie doesn't really have an amazing reason to upgrade past Wonderland even at level 80. Although it gets so bad at 70 + obtaining poo poo like the 10 Enthusiastic scrolls I'll need to finish my armor set and 70/80 armor sets I've pretty much given up all hope of getting substantially better equipment in this game until they release a whole new tier and this stuff becomes trivial if that ever happens.

- Monster Bingo. It's the bingo event yet again, but the rewards are new.

quote:

Wednesday, May 21 – Sunday, June 8
Details
Certain monsters will drop randomized Bingo numbers every day during the event period.
Monsters will be randomized, meaning different monsters will carry numbers each day.
Monsters carry double the amount of numbers on weekends.
Collect Bingo numbers and complete the Bingo board to receive rewards based on the number of rows completed:
1 Row - Consumable (corresponds to each row on board)
3 Rows - AP 1000 Capsule
5 Rows- Appearance Alteration Coupon
8 Rows- Shared Storage (60 Days)
All Rows- Shining Halo Ring
Pink Tickets acquired during a special Golden Time event can be traded into the Strange Traveler for Bingo numbers on a two for one basis.

Important Notes
Only 25 Bingo numbers will be made available per player.
1 number will drop on Wednesday, May 21 followed by 2 on May 22, 3 on May 23, etc., for a total of 25.
The Shared Storage is a new item that allows all characters on a single account to trade items.

- May 2014 Punch Nuts:

quote:

Hero Mode: The Ultimate Challenge
Several Battle Quests can now be played on Hero Mode, which is only available to Level 70 mercenaries. Hero Mode increases the strength and attack damage of monsters and bosses, meaning you will need to be a truly skilled warrior to survive. If you make it to the end, you will be rewarded for your struggles with greater rewards than a normal Battle Quest.

Hero Mode is available on the following Battle Quests: The Giant, The Dark, Dank Sewers, The Central Garden, Ahglan the Golem, Avatar of Destruction and The Fomorian Leader.

So far, there are no reports of these Hero Mode raids dropping anything special. Then again, they take a while to beat even with a team of geared level 80s, so the sample size is small.

In celebration of Karok’s Revamp, we have a big contest happening right now! “Clash of the Karoks” is all about showing us your most epic clashing moments. Enter in the contest for a chance at winning cool Vindictus swag and in game prizes.

Click here for more information.

Karok Obama, show us the Clash certificate!

quote:

Character Revamp: Karok

With evil looming on the horizon, Karok has been busy training and improving his skills. His Pillar has been overhauled, with increased attack range and speed. Damage and knockdown damage from Pillar Toss has also been increased. Karok's War Slam ability is now far more powerful, and can be linked after all other types of smash attacks. You can also link the Crushing Sweep skill after activating War Slam.

Karok can also upgrade several skills to Rank 6, including Howl, Earthquake, Whirlwind, Absorb Shock, Crushing Sweep, Unarmed Combat and Pillar Toss.

Battle Pillar Karok

Absorb Shock
- Can now be trained up to Rank 6.
- Perfect Absorb Shock can now be triggered during the first part of smash attacks performed with the Battle Pillar.
- Recovery speed has been increased.
- The allowed Absorb Shock trigger time from Dropkick has increased.

War Slam
- Can now be linked after all smash attacks.
- You can now change directions when using War Slam.
- Stamina cost will now be based on the skill’s rank.
- At Rank 6, Active: Crushing Sweep can now be linked after War Slam.
- A 5 stage status will be applied after linking War Slam and Active: Crushing Sweep. The higher the stage, the higher the bonus damage and the more stamina recovered when Crushing Sweep is performed.

Pillar Toss
- Can now be trained up to Rank 6.
- Damage and knock down damage have been increased.
- Smash Mastery will now affect Pillar Toss.
- Time taken for pillar to return has been reduced.
- You can pick up the pillar while dodging with the grab button (only works while near pillar).
- Strength Recovery added after Pillar Toss.
- Fatigued Arms debuff removed after Pillar Toss. Pillar can be tossed freely.

Active: Howl
- Can now be trained up to Rank 6.
- Will now be applied to party at Rank 9 and above.

Active: Earthquake
- Can now be trained up to Rank 6.
- Slow effect has been removed.
- Will now stun monsters.

Active: Whirlwind
- Can now be trained up to Rank 6.

Active: Crushing Sweep
- Can now be trained up to Rank 6.

New Skill: Pillar Counter
- Can be learned after achieving Rank A in Absorb Shock. - Inflicts additional damage when absorb shock triggers during a Smash attack. - More damage and knockdown at higher ranks.

New Skill: Jumbo Pounce
- Perform an extra attack after performing a smash hit.
- More damage and knockdown at higher ranks.

Additional Changes
- Basic Clash damage has increased.
- Clash will now deal additional damage based on how long it’s maintained.
- Normal and smash attack range have been increased.
- Basic kick attack, speed and decision method will be updated.
- Karok's Power Grab prioritized over Evil Core.
Karok: Better than ever!?!?!

quote:

System Improvements/Changes

- Jumping has been removed.
- Shared inventory has been added so that certain equipment and items, as well as cash items, can now be shared amongst characters within the same account.
- Added a sound effect for Hurk picking up objects.
- Made minor changes to how the title Spirited Fighter, Iron-Willed Fighter, Resourceful Fighter, and Indomitable Fighter were obtained.
- Added an error message that appears when you're over the max gold limit for trading in the Marketplace.
- Made a change when there is a grabable opponent and an Evil Core is near your character, character will prioritize grabbing the opponent over the Evil Core.
- Added the Avatar Shop "Louie the Cat", stationed between the Rocheste Dock Entrance/Marketplace Message Board.
- Made changes to update the Tour of Duty item.
- Made changes to the Story "Bleeding Plant". The Item Wild Berry should be easier to obtain.
- Made change to the Bloody Shade plant, now adds M. ATT as well.
- Added a message showing that you cannot place Avatar Items in the Power Infusion UI.
- Made a change so that Fiona will need to Perfect Guard against Smash attacks in PvP in order to guard successfully. (Heavy Stander is unchanged)
- Removed the 8-29 and 30-49 level difficulties in Season 2 dungeons.
Shared inventory would be pretty great so I can get those enhance runes off of my Fiona. Removing jumping is bullshit because jump-smashes were useful for getting breaks. Removing 8-29 and 30-49 for S2 dungeons is mega-bullshit because now S2 is no longer a side-story thing lowbies can do when S1 bores them.

Bug Fixes

- The awkward War Slam attack decision has been fixed.
- Bug where skill rank wasn’t applied to Active: Whirlwind has been fixed.
- Fixed a bug where Active: Howl was shown in Quick Slot when Cestus was equipped.
- Fixed a bug where Weaving decision disappeared from 1 hit smash attacks performed with the Cestus.
- Fixed a bug where Pillar Karok’s attack motion also shook other players’ screens.
- Now, attack motions will be prioritized when pressing certain keys during combat.
- Fixed a bug where equipment appearance was awkward after changing Karok’s appearance with the Appearance Alteration Coupon.
- Fixed a bug where some attacks couldn’t be avoided with the Weaving or Absorb Shock skills.
- Made improvements to mitigate the likelihood of Ghost boats being created.
- Fixed a bug where guild reward mail could not be claimed.
- Fixed a bug where pet disappears when moving form town to the dock.
- Fixed bug where items could not be previewed using DirectX 8.0.
- Fixed bug where the Destoryed Friendship Sword couldn't be collected for the relevant Story.
- Made adjustments to the following titles so that they are obtained after fullfilling the proper criteria: Spider Destoryer, Vengeful, Jaded by the Tyrant, Decisively Easy, Kobold COmmander Slayer, Firefighter, and Going Mad.
- Fixed a bug where Fullness for a pet was reset when adding Pet Auto Feed, then logging in with another character.
- Fixed a bug where pets didn't summon properly.
- Fixed a bug where you could get locked up in certain areas in Ship Graveryard after defeating certain bosses.
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't walk to Rocheste if you were below level 20.
- Fixed a bug with the Bonus Mission "Defeat 4 Goblin Petty Officers" in the "Secret" Battle Quest.
- Fixed a bug where the /escape command cannot used when Karok equips a Cestus.
- Fixed a bug where if you leave an area in Season 2 dungeon without defeating all the enemies, the boss monster will not spawn if you go back there.
- Fixed a bug where the Oblivion Echant couldn't be used on certain Ivory weapons.
I don't think any of these bugs has ever affected me, but good job?

- Things I have heard in-game: Bark raid is actually for-reals broken and cannot be beaten somehow. Good thing I made my Skeleton Chainblades right before this happened, or I might have paid even more for barrel frags.

Right now it's at +7, which is as high as I was willing to take it without enhancement runes. I also put a Maelstrom ES on it since I figured it was a good enchant and worth the risk and it's not as if I paid for it because it came from an Ultimate Objective pouch. I guess my next move is to buy NX from someone in-game so I can rune it up.

Also, I can confirm that one Rocheste hero mode raid drops new stuff: Titan drops three-star equipment. Level 54 equipment :catstare:

Since the patch, I noticed that drops from Perilous Ruins and Hoarfrost Hollow now NPC for 0 gold. I also noticed that equipment drops that NPC for 0 gold cannot be dismantled. Today, while checking the Vindictus forums for today's bingo missions, I found out that this is part of an attempt to frustrate gold-farming bots. In addition to making low-level drops worthless, low-level missions give absolutely no money as a reward. A side effect is that it's now borderline impossible for completely new players to get money since the only way to get money is to put drops on the market and whoops it's not as if those drops are worth anything to the people who have money.

The Vindictus Sun Also Rises:

quote:

As you may have noticed, Vindictus now sports a new logo, both on the Nexon Launcher and in-game. Astute players may have noticed that the logo, inspired by the same Celtic mythology Vindictus is based on, features the goddess Morrighan at its center. This attention to detail not only shows our appreciation for the game's lore, but the direction we are taking Vindictus in the future. We want the style, look and feel of Vindictus to match the brutal combat and dark world players have come to know and love.

To that end, we are improving the in-game experience in addition to the new logo, new art, and new brand image. From technical changes that will improve the combat and battle experience to a more streamlined character selection window, we're implementing changes that will improve your Vindictus experience across the board. We're also redesigning our game forums to provide you with a deeper, more immersive, and more enriching community experience. More details on forum changes will arrive later this summer.

In addition, we're rebuilding the monetization system from the ground-up. We hate the label "pay-to-win" and want to ensure that Vindictus is fun for all. This is a work in progress, and we’ll have more details for you on our new shop system in the coming months.

Though we know change can be scary, we believe that ultimately these adjustments will better reflect the true spirit of Vindictus.

Welcome to the new Vindictus. Welcome to a world beyond.

Lynn is coming out in a week or two, so we need to work on that OP. We also need a new thread title. My opinion: don't ask for my opinion because look at what we got last time I picked a thread title :smith:

What better way to celebrate dads, than with items that every dad loves?
My dad's dead, so I don't know if he would want any of this stuff. Probably not; he preferred golfing.

We're getting some really good poo poo this weekend. Maybe. Too bad I already used my free enhancement runes to get my weapon to +10.

Well you obviously have to get a new weapon for your free +10 coupon (no one is getting anything higher than 10 this is Vindictus).

The Lynn trailer page has been updated with more information. Age of Wushu must have spoiled me because I feel as though those skill names aren't China enough. "Drunk Mantis" almost makes up for it.

Hey now. Someone will get a +15 coupon. They will doubtlessly already have a +15 Skeleton Weapon of their class choice, but you know.

Realtalk there are 2 dudes in my guild on East that have made multiple +15s each. One has like 7 level 60 ones and the other has made 3 or 4 level 80 ones and who knows how many lower ones. They will probably both get +15 coupons because that's how it works :shepface:.

The weapon buying/making frenzy is amazing. I turned what was probably 15m in mats into 70m by waiting until 10:15...

Thanks Nexobama :freep:

Golden Time is over and we have entered a dark age that will last until S2E4 comes out. I don't know when that will happen, though I do know Lynn will come out next week.

Oh! It turns out that quality boost coupon Nexon gave out today is a guaranteed coupon. That's a nice change from the lubber coupons that can actually make your equipment worse. I hope that Nexon giving out genuinely good stuff isn't a sign they're getting desperate to retain players :ohdear:
