    @LumosNXA
    How come the new outfitter, Special Legionnaire Set, is not in the Vindicator Coupon Exchange shop? All limited outfits used to be all in Vindicator Coupon Exchange Shop for exchange for the duration period of the sale, including the latest edition prior to this, which was the Special French Maid Set.

    Can you please add this back into shop?

  • Help with DPS

    I just did a PUG Group in Eochaid spamming void star just to test it out, I have a +12 I/J Regina Scythe and a cat statue, I did not use insane reaper at all because I have 60 spd and I manage my stamina well, and my combo is to do all 4 enhanced smash, then snaps, because sacrifice does a decent amount of dmg and it gives a lot of SP back. I used about 3 Arcane Gate and I spent the rest of the excess SP on VS only, and I did not use transformation either. And I was able to top DPS against people with +13 or higher in my group.

    I know VS can be very situational, but in S3 Raid bosses you can generally hit them with it because the range itself is really wide. I dont use it at all when I'm doing nifi or Neamhaim though because they are super fast and jump all over the place.

    @Question2
    I don't know how you can miss void star in raid bosses in S3, first of all, Void Star is patched with Evie Revamp where if you sprint cast it, it will auto aim at the center of the boss and its range is pretty wide, I rarely miss void star on them. Sprint time factor is completely irrelevant here because if you can sprint cast, you will cast 2 VS back to back without cooldown, so it cancels the sprint time 100%. And you need to factor in the fact that Arcane Gate is a 2 min cooldown, 1:30 cooldown if you are doing snaps in between, and if you are landing your combos right, you will have more than enough SP to spam Void Star, because if you do all the marks and snaps, you get 250SP, and it is very easy to do and constantly spam it because it is only 5 sec cooldown and animation is quick and can cancel snaps. And as for muir, i finish muir faster with VS spam because the area is so narrow you cant miss the target at all, it sometimes even does the break-off for me which is a bonus =P

    oh and i didn't even assume the dmg of MoD and Threads in my VS calculation, without it, its already exceeds AG alone even when you only hit 15 of 30 VS you can spam in 90 seconds, and in between you can also snaps for extra damage. I can make the same argument about you making the assumption that you will hit the final hit on AG to do the yellow dmg, but I'm not going to because I wanna tell you that, under an ideal situation that both hit 100%, VS does more dmg than AG. AG hit box can be buggy sometimes, and not everyone can hit all 5 hits on the boss that you say it was very difficult to land VS on lol, @Gewellirious already made some good points about it.

  • Nexon : No more AFK events please

    Question2 wrote: »
    1. Everyone knows the afk event is designed to get more people back into the game. I said so as much in the OP. The problem is that any event that simply requires you to afk will have the majority afk then logout. Again, its like giving free samples, the majority will eat it then walk right back out. The event could have been better designed to encourage people to play instead of afk. ...........
    It would have been better if there were, for example, two tiers of coins, capped per account and transferable within the same account. You could do s1 to get coins for things like passion and max r8 scrolls, but you had to do nif/s2/s3 raids to get coins for r7 scrolls. People would be encouraged to get coins on their main then, and to run end game content.

    Not do 2x roch/muir/succubus/shakkar then logoff because "ceebs".

    4. I never mentioned that the event rewards were being abused. I said that people were just stockpiling them for future content. The expiry dates are a bad idea...purely because the ones who get shafted the most are new players who need them the most. Lets say I just started and am level 30. I get a +1 coupon. Nice right? But now I need to powerlevel to get a level 90 oj weapon (or at least one with the OJ base) within 30 days or the coupon becomes worthless (because using coupons on low level weapons would be dumb). For the average person who can play a few hours max per day due to RL commitments, this is a huge limiting factor.

    Meanwhile, you have players at level 90 who have been playing a while. They likely have enough seals stockpiled to npc craft something and boom it with the help of any time limited coupons. They certaintly arent being limited by the time factor. Does it encourage THEM to play? No. They just make a new weapon with seals, use the coupons, boom it, and log right back off. They are not affected by the expiry date at all. They are not going to play the game more simply because they boomed another weapon with the help of a coupon. They will log off and go right back to BDO or whatever.

    If you actually had to play to get the coupons, that would have been far better as it would be fair to all involved, rather than penalizing low level players who cant make a level 90 weapon in time.

    Whether or not people are appreciative or events is completely irrelevant to the point of this thread...which is that afk events do not encourage people to play, and should be re-designed to encourage people to play instead of afking then logging off.

    Please keep all discussion limited to the point of the thread.

    I find some of your points are contradicting themselves.

    1. First of all, this was not meant to be all afk event, the main event which @2edgy4u mentioned, is the prime event which is 6 hours of play time bonuses everyday, ie. +2 raids, +2 cores, unlimited revives, and etc. The log-in rewards are meant to be a side bonus you get from playing during the prime time event for the duration of the event of 4 weeks, that is more than enough play-time for you to actually play and also get 100 hours of the rewards (6 x 28 = 168 prime time hours).

    2. Nexon is really stepping up their game for this event. It is being very generous to us by giving us all these free nx items, you can get up to 3 premium enhancement runes, perma inner armor coupon, 2 premium enchant runes, and etc, their values can be easily exceeds more than 100,000 NX. So I don't understand how this is not generous? Vindictus is a free to play MMO, they need to think of a way to gain profit in order to keep the game alive.

    3. & 4. First, I apologize in advance for not knowing what ceebs is +shy. Your point of stockpiling is technically a way to abuse the event for future content gains. However, that is not the case from your argument because you said the expiration dates are a bad idea. Stockpiled players won't be able to use +15 coupons on a lv95 weapon if they expire before the content comes. So they can only spend it what is already existing in the game which is lv90 gear and weapons, and that is not stockpiling at all because that is what we currently have in the game.

    New players will not be affected by the expiration of these rewards because it's extremely easy to lvl up these days with all the event box EXP bonus and character growth rewards, it takes roughly a week to lvl to lv90 playing non-stop, and you only have to be lvl80 to unlock season 3 recipes and enhance lvl90 weapons, and you have at least 30 days to do so if you wanna use the coupons. And getting an OJ essence is very easy now, they are like 10mil on MP, and if that is too expensive for new players, it takes only 140 seals to trade one in the sealshop, and you can obtain to up to 20 seals a day or 140 seals / 30 days = 4-5 seals a day, so it's totally doable.

    Your point of playing to get the coupon and new players needed to powerlvl to use the coupon is contradicting. You are saying people need to play to get the coupon, but on the other hand, you are saying low lvl players cannot have enough time to powerlvl to get to lvl90 within 30 days. So does that mean that low lvl players don't deserve a coupon? Your way would be penalizing the low lvl players then if that is the case.

    Also, you mentioned that new players might not have time to powerlvl because of real life commitments. That goes the same with higher lvl players as well, which I mentioned in my post. Some players decide to do S1 raids to get coins because they don't have a lot of time to play, and some even have multiple characters to farm on. For me personally, I hosted Rocheste and Colhen 8 man raids during the Scroll Shop events, and if you were active during the event, you could see megas were constantly going for S1 Raid Trains. That doesn't necessarily mean that people are lazy. And prime time event we have now is what Nexon does to revive S3 and S2 contents.

    I cant speak for all the players in this community, but I can say that I am an OK active player, but I don't have seals stockpiled for mass enhancing at all, not once in my 4 years of playing Vindictus have I had the opportunity to do so with event coupons. But it didn't stop me from playing. And this event we have at the moment, it does encourage me to play and farm for essences in S3 Raids and Synthesis Materials for my characters. And you can tell that game has been more active since the event because the MP price for essences have dropped significantly, for example, lvl85 belt essence dropped from the original 200mil to 50mil now, and weapon essences are around 10-15mil, etc. If all players are afk and not playing, how would you explain the sudden drop in MP price?

    Tl; dr: I understand where you are coming from, and I know you want Vindictus to be more active and successful. But while you complain about the bad aspects of what Nexon is doing for events, you should also look at the bright side of things and the benefits an event can bring. You can't just ignore the prime event and say this event sucks. We all should just be more appreciative. +best/
