Tessa is coming, I guess. Got a fancy page up with a link to that old trailer, but no other information or even a pre-registration event page. But it's a sign we're close? Also, lol that the players put more effort into the Michael Jackson tribute event than Nexon did:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA9NbU_R-y4 Tessa's here. Her event page has been updated with more information. Hope you didn't forget to use the 15-day VVIP capsule that expired last night. I let it go to waste and I've been mad about it all day. This is also a proper update: quote:Ver. 2.78 Update Note As for her background: She was an actress who was taught fencing and gem magic by a mysterious gentleman fencer/gem magician, which is why she knows how to do either of those things. Then they tried to heist the ultimate gem for purposes of ultimate gem magic but he betrayed her for reasons unknown. She got out of trouble with her acting skills and is going to use her fencing and gem magic skills to murder the gently caress out of this guy once she tracks him down. quote:2. Dressing Room 3rd Update quote:3. Brandish Update Booba Fett quote:Tessa: The Captivating Bounty Hunter Level on up, to the tess side quote:Level Up Go Go Event Speaking of titles quote:Tessa to the Max! Level-Up Event A so-called Golden Time, but this one's involved quote:<Summer 2021's Grand Golden Time Event> On top of all that, we've also got 24/7 double AP from battles, double expertise speed and proficiency gain, and 50% more completion exp. Also, bonus drops from battles on weekends. Lord of the Gatherings The luminary dungeon's back again. We just had this event and now they're having it for Tessa. Ugh, I loving hate this dungeon. It's not bad but doing it several times per day kind of sucks. Well, whatever, the rewards aren't bad. I just wish it didn't cost Fatigue to complete. They added a few cosmetic items to the essence shop this time around: A shibe that you wear on your heat, and two bobble hairpins that look like kitties and duckies. Ready to Die quote:Die! Die! Die! AP Dice Game Event Yet another Discord event Join the discord. As more people join, more coupons for freebies will be released. The headline item is a shark bobblehead hairpin.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:I started playing recently because of a friend and I have some questions. 2. Some of what Shayla sells goes into outfit slots and some are normal equipment. You can tell the difference by looking at the item description and noting the very first line under the item's name. That line tells you what type of equipment it is and what slot it's for. If it's an outfit item, it'll say "(outfit)" after that. Anything marked as being "cloth" is technically armor and can be fused. Outfit items won't have a material since the material system is for armor and craftables and outfit items are neither. 3. If you're talking about anything valuable from sidequests: No, they're not important. The devs have tried their best to make sure that the rewards that really matter come from the main storyline. The only other reason to do sidequests is for experience. It's possible you'll come up short as you approach major milestones like the transitions between seasons or the point in Season 3 when you need to start raiding. You can save sidequests and do them as you need them and ignore them otherwise. 4. Not in-game. There are places to find that information outside the game, like Vindictus Wiki. It's not yet up to date. If you're unsatisfied with that, ask around for better resources and report back if you find something good I can put in the OP.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiMtCJw_RVc Maintenance happened and we have a new raid. We also have new events. Update 2.79 Notes quote:Table of Contents 2. The friendship system has been updated with more Tessa content. Meanwhile, a few characters are still missing their promised friendship skills  3. It turns out people have noticed that older characters need more AP to max out their skills, so the devs reduced costs for everybody from Lann to Vella and refunded the difference. Intelligence Mastery has also been removed from all characters who don't use M.ATT and that AP has been refunded as well. Some other changes have been made, but they're more like bugfixes. A big one is that they tried to fix a bug wherein you could be knocked out of your ult if you got hit even though that's not supposed to be possible. They say it's a connection issue and tried to patch it. We'll see. Finally, character-specific changes:
4. There's a new Event Notification window that tells you what events are going on and shows you your progress. You now have a way to see how to earn things like event boxes and how many you've earned today/this week. It'll even tell you if an event's limit is account-wide or not. You can even tag individual events so they appear at the top of the window, or hide events you don't care about. This is a fine addition, I say. 5. You can now talk to NPCs using the keyboard. For some reason. "Skip Paragraph" should also work now, so you can blow through dialogue more quickly than before. Finally, more cutscenes are skippable. 6. When performing Power Infusion on an accessory, you can get bonuses on any stat. Also, in general, when performing Power Infusion you're more likely to get bonuses to good stats like SPD, STR and INT and less likely to get bonuses to AGL and WIL. CRIT and BAL are the same, though, which sucks because those are the good bonuses. 7. DirectX 11 support is in the game. It's officially in beta so they're presumably disavowing responsibility for bugs even more than usual. Cesar, Nyle, and Red Moon battles cost less Fatigue, at 16% base. This is very welcome for Red Moon especially because the cost of running it twice per day was punishing if you're poor, which a lot of players who can't afford 100% VVIP coverage are. There is a pet summon limit in battles. You can summon a pet three times. This was done because people with the fancy wolf pets that boost CRIT for 30 seconds would switch between them to maintain a permanent CRIT buff, which is stupid. For periodically-refreshing goodies you can buy in seal shops, the game will now tell you before you buy it and not after. So far this does not seem to apply to the AP shop. An attendance event, for crystals and outfits quote:Crystal Check-In Event Another attendance event, for steels quote:LV100 Damascus Steel Support Supplies, Motherfucker! quote:Royal Army Recruit's Supplies Event Stone of Growth, for those who aren't quite ready for endgame quote:Stone of Growth for Level-Up Event ArchWizard fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Aug 24, 2021 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxnMAhNOd6A Maintenance happened and we have a new event. No, really, it's new. Never been seen before and hopefully will never be seen again. Red Souls: Prepare to Dye Edition quote:Red Moon's Dyewood Event I have several complaints about the event but the fact that the dyes cost money to craft is what pisses me off most. It's a ridiculous amount of gold. Sure, it's competitive with prices on the marketplace but this is supposed to be a reward for participating in an event. And speaking of the marketplace, you can't sell the dyes or the ampoules or even the New Era mats. Finally, as an added "gently caress you," some of the ampoule boxes expire at the end of September. Not only do you have to pay through the nose for your "rewards" but if you fail to use the dyes you get to watch that money literally rot away in your inventory. Cool, great. Who is this event designed to help? Poor players need to conserve their money for gear upgrades. Rich players can just buy dyes whenever. Bored players don't do anything they weren't doing before. It's just... I don't get it. ArchWizard fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Aug 24, 2021 |

I heard something through the grapevine that is the official discord: The level 110 update may be here by mid-September and the next tier of freebie gear will be added along with it. If you're thinking of coming back soon, consider not doing that for a couple of weeks in case they run some returning player events. Or do come back, but don't craft anything. Just focus on earning money, bravery seals, and titles.

Cross Cut and Typhoon Slash are exceptions; they got a 5% reduction in damage, which is minor. And speaking of Cross Cut: They fixed a bunch of situations so you can actually, you know, use it. There's a big list of enemy attacks that you couldn't cross cut before but can now. are they specifically trying to make me come back? lmfao

OK so I foolishly decided to give the game another shot and after making an Eira and breezing through the story through most of S3 (just past where you unlock neamhain) the "new player" experience is pretty dang good right now with all the free stuff you get while leveling. And there's 18 characters so honestly a lot of content even if you don't want to get involved in the endgame raid and gacha grind.

I have great news: the official Discord didn't lie to me. Level 110 is upon us today. The 2.80 update quote:Ver. 2.80 Update Note 2. The level cap has been raised. They've also tampered with a bunch of stats to ruin things for people: - The DEF cap has also been adjusted to 33k. I keep forgetting there's a DEF cap because I will never reach it. - They changed BAL again; the devs claim they're trying to fix a problem with BAL being hard to get, especially on upgrades, but I don't see how the changes mentioned here actually do that. My Tessa's going to lose 9 BAL by moving from a +12 dullahan rapier to a +13 astera rapier with identical enchants and fully improved components. Oh, and they're giving enemies BAL resist, too. It starts with Nyle at 1 resist and goes up to 7 with Romel. They say that Milletian and Ardri equipment sets will give BAL as a bonus, but that's not helpful if you're only using astera. - There are going to be caps on Additional Damage and ATT Surplus, but I don't fully understand how it works based on the write-up. They say it only applies to the new Ardri gear and that Astera and Milletian aren't capped? Maybe it's a way to keep whales from egregiously out-DPSing everybody else in raids for a while. - The Partholon Vanguard has been adjusted. The minimum level to use a character with it is now 105. The devs say they're making sure no players lose the buffs they have when the level cap gets raised (you may recall the incident when the player level cap was first raised to 105 and nobody could use the Partholon Vanguard because nobody had a 105 character). But, you know, this change means it's harder to get characters to the point where they can be used in Vanguard. If you had characters at 100 but below 105, you lose their benefits. All of that talk misses the good change with Partholon: The relic boxes give better rewards. Crappy "Average" element stone mats are out. New Era mats are in. You can also get Legendary Ores and rank 6 enchants from Rare Relic Boxes. Holy crap. Not bad for a game feature that costs no cash or gold to use. - The max enhance reduction is in. +15 is the best you can hope for now, and that means the cap is available to anyone given enough determination. If you own anything that's higher than that it won't be touched, but there will never be 110 gear better than +15. - Mat drop stats have changed. From now on, milletian mats will drop with midrange stats and astera mats will drop with max stats. That will make both cheaper to upgrade via material synthesis. Reforging astera and milletian will also require less Damascus Steel from now on. - Level 100 accessories (elch, macha, lugh, selren) are now easier to enhance. They got the same boost that pre-astera S3 accessories got, so enhancing to +18 can never fail. Which is good. Still expensive, though. - The Warm Welcome shop has been overhauled again. Secret Boxes (the ones that cost gold) are gone. Now we have Super Duper Secret Boxes, which cost the same amount of gold. You can also turn the old Shining Tickets into the new Sparkling Tickets at a ratio of two to one via quick crafting. If you're worried about box titles, the great news is that the titles from shining boxes will still be in the new sparkling boxes, along with five new titles. - The Seal Shop has been updated. You can now buy Jardin Steel with bravery or triumph seals or with monthly mission tickets. You can buy +13 runes for level 100 armor, too, in addition to the rune for weapons. - The last batch of RAR battles (Thor, Titan, Lavasat) has been retired. Now we have Enzo, Juggernaut, and not-brilliant Lugh. The minimum level for RAR has been increased from 30 to 60. I was going to mock the devs for thinking it's a good idea to make new players wait even longer to start playing with other people, but they note that it's easy as hell to get to level 60 and it's not like someone who's level 30 isn't going to just get splattered immediately after the battle starts and where's the fun in that? So I'll let the devs have this one. Rewards for 12-man raids have been improved. Lv. 60 bottles don't give Exquisite mats anymore. Frankly, it was a weird reward. Worse than Godly. But New Era mats have taken their place. Also, there's a Lv. 110 bottle that gives grade 3 mysterious shards. Nice. You're also slightly more likely to get a Lv. 100 bottle, which is what gives grade 2 shards. - Rewards for Redeemer boxes have been changed. You can get grade 2 shards from neam, balor, and brigid now. You can't get grade 1 shards from laura now but you can get grade 2 and grade 3 shards. Not bad. - The old [S] dungeons have been moved out of rotation and we have two new ones: [S] Garden of Tears and [S] Temple of the Fallen Moon. To make things lovely, the level requirement for [S] raids has been increased to 105 and you need 160 Counterforce to join through QB. That's also how much CF you need to join the new raid. [S] dungeons give Jardin Steel now, and the special enchant pouch had a couple more scrolls added to the drop pool. You're also somewhat less likely to get a crappy leather bracelet from the masterpiece bracelet box. - Level 95 raids got de-raided. They're now normal battles so they don't drop Bravery Seals, The Dead or Subdued scrolls, or Damascus Steels. Claire, Elch, and Macha also lost The Dead and Subdued, though Agares and up still drop those. Elemental mat bundles have also been removed from 95 battles and are now dropped by Astera bosses. - Red Moon has been altered. The level requirement is now 105. New Era Remnants (which aren't worth much) drop less often. New Era Stones, Leather, and Cloth should drop more. You can also get more orbs from luminary trees. Unfortunately, they nerfed ore piles in Red Moon by adding garbage drops like copper ore. Nobody needs copper ore. Where I come from, if you need copper you break into a remote building and rip the wiring out of the walls. - They've added new pet effects. That is, you can toggle on more bonus effects through Pet Encyclopedia->Pet Effect. You can now have four effects on instead of two, and they have new bonuses. For the third bonus you can get a boost to SP gain, or a chance to buff the stat of your choice for 60 seconds. The fourth bonus can be an instant shield that has a 20% chance to absorb damage (useful when you're running armorless in S2 or S3 battles), or a 20% chance to regenerate 1000 HP when you get knocked down. Finally, Reality Distortion, and I don't know why you'd use that. It's not easy to use. Yes, invincibility on demand is good but it's only for two seconds. - Equipment changes: The freebie gear quests are gone and now you just get equipment boxes when you hit 90, 95, and 100. Yes, that means you can get a full set of +12 Astera gear just by leveling up. What's really great is the level 100 box also comes with a set of +15/+16 Astera accessories and a Book of Legacy. As someone who's run hundreds of Astera raids and gotten exactly one accessory essence, it's pretty nice of them to just hand me what I need to play their stupid game. And, as a consolation prize, if you don't want the equipment from any of the level-up reward boxes you can get a bunch of merc pots and blessing stones instead. - There is a new Abyssal Arena, called Abyssal Arena II. It's level 100+, gives Grade 2 and Grade 3 Abyssal Shards, and there are three titles to be obtained by grinding. - They changed the level requirement for a bunch of raids. You only need to be level 95 to run Claire, Elch, or Macha. All S4 raids are 105. As noted earlier, Red Moon is also 105. 3. Lots of interface improvements and QoL changes. One nice change is that you can see the marketplace from any expertise site and you can buy components that you need but don't have. You can also search expertise recipes by name and level. The inventory interface has a bunch of new quality-of-life features. If you right-click just about anything that's not a potion, a few windows will pop up saying "oh do you want to see everything you can do to this? Maybe you'd like to Enhance it before you equip it? Wanna see what happens if you slap an Enchant you can't afford on it?" It's the menus that pop up when you right-click on an equipment component or shard, but bigger and generalized to all equipment. Which is fine if that's what you want but not if you just wanted to equip the new level 100 gear. It's not as bad as I'm making it sound because this new feature is powerful. You can search to see what enchants you can put on a given piece of equipment (and buy them off of the Marketplace), see what materials you need to enhance or reforge, perform material synthesis, or even do Power Infusion. And it's all from one menu that can be accessed from anywhere in any town. No more loving off all the way to Malina just to get a STR+3 on your new weapon. Another inventory improvement: They added a way to see outfit items only when looking in your NX tab. I would have liked to see an even better sorting system—tabs within the tab, at the very least—but being able to look at cosmetic stuff without going to the wardrobe is nice. 4. Battle changes are mostly bugfixes. One important non-bugfix change is a tweak to Damage Contribution. From now on, you only need to do 5% damage to get cores from level 100 and 105 raids. 5. Other changes starts with more battle bugfixes.  They're also officially announcing here that Average Element Stones, the ones that work on 60-80 gear, are no longer craftable. They've also added a new color-blind mode. Right now it's only for people with red-green colorblindness but they want to add more functionality in the future.Of special note is another beta feature: The ability to remove the 60 FPS limit. They warn that this will almost certainly cause screen tearing, which can be fixed by enabling vsync. Which, if you're using an older monitor, will lock your framerate to the monitor's refresh rate of... 60 FPS. But if you have one of those 144 Hz monitors, it's an improvement! Wow, that was a lot. And we're not even done. There are events. Romel is here quote:Episode 4: Your Evil is My Justice As is usual, there's a mini-event associated with the new raid wherein everybody gets one additional departure per day. There are two events related to raising the level cap. To The Max quote:To The Max! Event Hot Time again quote:Let's Go! Level-Up! Hot Time Event And the rest: Three Cheers for the Hero quote:Three Cheers for the Hero!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyfnY62q0ME It is update day. We're at version 2.81 now quote:Ver. 2.81 Update Note 2. The Raid Passport System "lets you extract departure counts from the hardest 5 raid battles and use them in the easiest 7 raid battles like Departure Licenses." This is account-limited but can be done every day. It allows a weaker character to turn useless departure counts for hard raids they can't run into extra runs for raids they can actually join. 3. The Mood Seal Shop now has items in it and not just emotes. One item lets you pass Mood Seals from one character on your account to another, at a ratio of two to one. The other item gives you a massive buff that lasts for 24 hours. It increases LUK by 5; balance, crit rate and crit resist by 3; and (M)ATT and DEF by 300. But it costs 35 Mood Seals, which is a lot. 4. All Season 3 raid bosses and Aodhan (who is technically a S4 prologue boss) have been nerfed. 15% less health and a lot of gimmicks have been made less irritating. Oh, and in Macha the cutscene that plays after the seals are destroyed is finally skippable. Enchant scroll drop rates have been increased. S3 raids drop scrolls more often, as do the level 95 battles formerly known as raids, but they're raising the drop rates on accessory scrolls that you get by farming S2 battles. I don't want to do S2 battles, they're bad  5. Time for more stupid tweaks. Staff Evie's elemental spells do 4% less damage. Lots of Kai attacks got a 3% decrease to damage. Sword Vella's smashes do 3% less damage. These are tiny baby numbers and I would laugh if not for the fact that umbrella Lynn is not getting baby numbers at all: a few of her best moves got reductions of 7% to 10%. The dev team says that analysis of combat data showed that umbrella lynn does too much damage. Dev notes also say they're not done with the latest round of tweaks and that they stopped here because they ran out of time. 6. Mostly bugfixes. Nothing here is really interesting. Mostly ironing out problems with DirectX 11 support. That's ridiculous. It's not even funny. quote:Eleven Years Old! Check-In Event As an added bonus, there's also Hot Time going on. For the next four weekends we get bonus exp, double AP, double expertise gain and speed, and additional departures. This is the Vend quote:Autumn Vending Machine Event It's not a bad event but I wish they'd add more variety to rewards. We just had an event with R6 armor scrolls. I don't need more armor scrolls. I can't afford more armor because I sank all my money into a milletian weapon that still needs one more R6 enchant.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDX2eB3IdV8 Today's a big day. The 64-bit client is here and Danah's coming soon as well. Also: other things. Wow. V2.82 patch notes quote:Ver. 2.82 Update Note 2. You can now perform finer tweaks on shoulder and waist size. I don't know if that's important. They seem to think it is, and they're having a little event where every character that's logged in within the past few months gets a free Premium Appearance Alteration Coupon in the mail. 3. Most of Hammer Fiona's attacks do 6-8% more damage. Same for Scythe Evie. Cestus Karok and Bow Kai got 5-6% damage decreases. Cross Gun Kai, Sword Vella, and Umbrella Lynn got 3-5% damage reduction to a few of their moves. It sucks for Sword Vella because the affected moves are Cross Cut, Double Cross, and Gale Cutter. You know, the good moves. Spellsword Arisha needs less MP to use Diffusion Warp, and Whip Arisha gets a 7% damage boost to her best attacks. Sylas gets a measly 3-5% boost to his moves, but it looks like most of his moves get that bonus. So that's nice. 4. Ortel Castle is now a Red Moon map. I'm not clear on how that's possible since the castle was razed in this timeline on account of us not being there to end Ingkell's rebellion quickly with a surgical strike. Drop rate changes: The four former level 95 raids drop R7 scrolls more frequently. Level 100 raids drop R6 scrolls more frequently. The exceptions are Meaningful and Wish, which drop slightly less often. S4 raids drop milletian weapon shards more frequently, but drop armor shards less often. They also made Romel drop Ardri armor shards less often wow gently caress them. I knew I should have farmed Romel more diligently, or at all. 5. Added Grems. That is, ten emotes that are gremlin-themed. 6. Turns out some mail doesn't expire? They've changed it so most mail has an expiration date. Apparently people get mail but never delete it, so the information builds up and clogs the database. Marketplace average price information now updates every hour instead of every twenty-four hours. That bit of info in tooltips might actually be worth paying attention to. 7. Back and Tail slots are now outfit slots, which means they're no longer normal equipment. This is good for weirdos who have outfits that include wings or tails because switching gear won't mess things up. Monthly Temporal Missions will be tweaked. There's a mission for doing 100 battles of the day in a month, which nobody does because the drops are largely obsolete and former S3 raids never get to be battles of the day. Instead, it's being changed 40 red moon battles in a month. Which I suppose is fine if you enjoy suffering. They also note that temporal missions are generated randomly at the beginning of the relevant period, so there's no guarantee that this mission will show up next month. Pets are better. Specifically, pets with Greedy Gem will pick up loot much more quickly than before. Ainle At Stake has been tweaked so you can get through it more quickly. The Devil's Cook has also been tweaked so you can get through it more quickly but I don't know how often that's going to come up. The Hero Pass is back quote:November Hero Pass Event The obligatory raid event quote:November Autumn Raid Event To accompany the raid event quote:Lucky Sprint Event Oh right, Danah. Teaser page is up. They're promising she'll be here in a month. Her backstory is not even close to what I expected. She's an angel but also serves hell? And she got kicked out of hell for being too nice? I wonder why we never encountered these guys when springing Milo from the Cromm Cruaich Penitentiary.

Maintenance happened last night. Enough people posted about the past on the official Discord that the Steel event was a success. The code to get your prize is STEEL11VINDI. In addition, there is a new event. It's for Thanksgiving. quote:A Stuffed Thanksgiving Event

Bakalakadaka posted:Danny next week and we gettin' some drop rate buffs and a big redeemer crit buff quote:Notice for VINDICTUS Service Operation Improvements Wow, complaining works. Nice to know the devs actually care what us dirty stupid Americans and Europeans think. In lesser news: The only Dan-Ah event mentioned so far is another outfit giveaway. Log in sometime before January 11th to get an outfit destiny box and a title. It's got those silly mini-wedding dresses again but also the "Refined Eastern Set." So that's nice. And speaking of refined eastern sets: Who do you think wears it better?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qWBHTlHqp0 Dan-Ah is here. It's not pronounced like the name Danah. It's "Dan" and then "ah." Not that it matters much. So we're up to version 2.83 quote:Ver. 2.83 Update Note Dan-Ah's weapon is a big katana that we are expected to call the Soulblade, and it's crafted by Goldsmiths. She has two unique equipment sets, the Phoenix Soul set (Tailoring) and the Grand Soul set (Armorsmithing). She also has a unique tattoo for her face mole. Of all the things to make canon about a character... They've also done the usual rigmarole for any new character. She can be used in Partholon Vanguard. She shows up in the mercenary lounge, thought you can only get her to Close Ally for now. Her favorite gifts are Small Dolls and Energy Elixir and her friendship skill is going to be with fellow soul-wrangler Lethor. 2. You can now spend money and obtain a Regina comrade. I don't recommend giving Nexon money. 3. More Tessa friendship. That would be great if I had a Kai but I don't. 4. Redeemers wins gives crit rate earlier than before, at 1% completion and 5% completion. This is not an overall increase but a shifting around of bonuses. Most of the crit rate bonuses you used to get at 50%, 75%, and 100% completion are now front-loaded. This is mostly beneficial for people who can run Brigid or Laura but haven't gotten many wins yet. They get the crit rate they need faster, but they won't see a retroactive surge of CRIT RTE from having had four wins in Neam or Balor. Worse news: there's now a damage contribution requirement of 2% on Redeemer raids, which sucks. If you have Rookie Redeemers it doesn't apply, but once that runs out you're in trouble if you're trying to play catch-up with people who spam Redeemers every week and are much stronger than you as a result. The only good thing about the implementation is that not meeting the 2% threshold counts as a loss so you keep the departure and can try again. I'm also not clear on how this affects drops in battles that don't have Rookie Redeemer, like Laura. 5. The miscellaneous changes are mostly cosmetic bugfixes. The real Dark Soulblade starts here quote:[Intro] 19th New Hero: Dan-Ah The obligatory leveling event quote:Dan-Ah Level Up Go! Event The other obligatory leveling event quote:Dan-Ah to the Max! Level-Up Event The third obligatory leveling event quote:Winter Peak Season Hot Time Event The Gathering Dungeon is open again quote:Welcome, Dan-Ah! Gathering Dungeon Event A Time for Gold, A Time for Cold quote:2021 Freezing Cold! Winter Golden Time Event 2021 get out quote:Adieu, 2021 Check-In Event More free Steel quote:Damascus Steel (Lv. 105) 2nd Run Event ArchWizard fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Dec 8, 2021 |

Also, her fighting style looks ridiculous.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQHswacESUY Maintenance happened and now we have a Christmas event. Sweet and Merry Christmas? In this economy? quote:Sweet and Merry Christmas Event There's a limit of ten of those campfire kits per character. You can get one Bundle per character per day, thus one coupon per day, and the event lasts for fourteen days. That is, at most, seven campfire kits. So why the limit? Finally: Colhen is decorated for Christmas. Yay. ArchWizard fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Dec 17, 2021 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2THIkC8tkjA Is the next raid Milo, channeling the power of Cromm Cruaich? Or are we fighting Cromm Cruaich using Milo's body as a vessel? Do you think Milo's going to survive or are we going to completely splatter him?

GMs just made an announcement in-game to wish us all a New Year of the Happy variety. They say they've listened to player feedback and have decided that their focus this year will be to shorten the time gap between when Korea gets content and when we get content. They promise to bring us Letty in the first quarter of 2022, the following character by summer, and a third character by the end of the year. They also gave out a coupon code: VINDI2022. It gives a box that contains a title, a 7-day VIP capsule (not VVIP), five +5 LUK scrolls, and a 30-day Reilly's Fireworks toy.

We have heard your feedback. No, not about the universally reviled reintroduction of the stamina dystem.

The servers shat themselves yesterday afternoon and people couldn't play for about fifteen minutes. They have announced that they're giving out a compensation package to every account that logged in up to thirty days prior to the incident. If you did, in fact, log in during this time frame, you can log in again after next week's maintenance and get something you may find useful. Nothing really exciting, just boring-but-useful consumables. At the same time, they've released a teaser video for another upcoming raid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86iGzDrWFoI They're bringing back chain hooks! Again! I felt bad about them making chain hooks largely useless, what with no longer needing them for S3 or [S] Classic Glas anymore. But my time to shine will come once more.

I’ll never be able to get my crew to come back and play this game as long as it has fatigue. But what are you playing mostly?

Hy_C posted:I’ll never be able to get my crew to come back and play this game as long as it has fatigue. But what are you playing mostly? As for other games: I play Genshin Impact, which you all may have figured out because I reference it sometimes. I like the big open world and the plot and a lot of the characters and the music, but I don't actually like the multiplayer aspect and the combat is just the right amount of "not as good as vindi" to piss me off on a regular basis. Plus, the farming is bad. The bosses are almost all annoying and the domains range from tiring to infuriating. I wanted to believe that having friends to play with would improve that part of the game, but when I tried co-oping with goons they either didn't change the flow of battle or completely broke the difficulty. Maybe you'll get different results with your crew but oh, genshin has an energy system that limits how much you can farm bosses and domains. If you're serious about hating energy systems then don't even bother.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxGfBVcH8JI Update 2.84 quote:V.2.84 Patch Notes 2. Hell Mode Laura. I have not yet managed to get anyone to explain what Hell mode is or why one would want to clear a Hell mode raid. 3. You can now get to Destined with Tessa and Dan-Ah. Not that their friendship skills are implemented but you can get their dance emotes at Destined 100% now. 4. Romel now drops an enchant scroll, Advance, for Head and Leg armor. Goddess's Guidance now gives a lot of DEF and ADD DMG, so newbies can do better in raids. It's now easy to see whether you don't have the stats to join a Quick Battle raid by simply looking at the QB window and noticing that raids you can't do have an orange name. Sprint is back quote:Sprinting to the Forgotten Altar GO Another raid event quote:New Year's Raid 2022! Event It is very important to note that the milletian reforge box has been specially-designed to be used for its stated purpose. You cannot take the contents and make new equipment because they're not equipment components in the strictest sense, but are instead unique items that can only be subbed in as reforging mats. Personally, I think it's a lovely thing to do because upgrading to milletian is what poor players should be doing and with this they can't. Milletian Weapon Essences are stupidly expensive on the market right now so helping players get them to make weapons is great. But offering a reward that only benefits players who've already managed to get their hands on one? Screwed up. A third raid event?!?! quote:Redeemers Challenge! Event
