  • We can change Vin's fate!


    Vindi needs to shutdown, they're molesting it while it's beaten on the ground, it's a corpse by now, washed up. I left the game with good memories 1,5 years ago, instead of playing through this abomination of game they made it to be.


    You're such a d1ckh3ad... Not only you don't have any valid argument to show but you also go around in every thread spreading your useless negativity. If you have nothing useful and constructive to say just avoid the forum pls where ppl are discussing a serious matter with all the best intentions. People like you are only a waste of time.

    I'll just reply to one of your nosense: Yes the community (talking in general tho) has enough power to change things.
    Companies goes where are money. You don't need a high school grade to understand that.
    A community spending / not spending can have 2 different reactions/endings on the game itself.
    The game meant to be for koreans means absolutely nothing. If tomorrow for absurd the earnings in NA/EU become double of what they have in KR, you would see korea become their 2nd choice.


    Back to the topic.

    I appreciate the topic and is nice to see so many ppl trying to propose any kind of way to save our game.
    About the JP panic I'd like highlight that some info are wrong or just rumors.

    First of all there're ppl who actually played there for a while and they stated their playerbase is around the same as EU and NOT the triple.
    Also the reason of the shut down isn't still clear. Everybody speculated about the financial problems but that's not written anywhere. For now is just speculation.
    There're also other reasons behind which doesn't have to be necessarely a money issue, like investing in new projects or the mass flooding of games in japan or like someonelse
    mentioned stuff about some kind of japan strict rules about games which i didn't even understand well.

    I don't want to state how things really are but i suggest to wait for some enlighments before speculating and spreading misinformation and useless panic of the 'why has been closed & we're next'.

    That said, If you want to concern about something that is for sure, you should mention that korea established that Season 3 will be last one.
    So however the game goes after S3 we won't see any new content and what will happen after that only they knows..


    I agree with the OP about the advertising. That might actually help cause the game never been really well advertised in both NA and EU.

    I also agree with the OP comparition about the concept of 10ppl spending 10$ each instead of 1 person spending 100.
    I alwasy think about that and how nx items prices should be lowered to a decent term in order to turn more free players into paying customers..
    the microtransactions imo gives way more earns than big milking stuff for just a few ppl.

    <<Ehi this thing i need cost just 1 2 dollars/euro let me buy it.>> and without noticing after a while u're reiterating that spending way more than a casher because psycologically u're spending nothing.
    Stuff that cost 20 30 40 or 50 Dollars all at once are quite a repellant to many players that could be potential customers.

    And about the game itself, yes this game have a lot of potential.
    Despite being old compared to other titles it has its own fashion and on some points is still unbeaten. I saw and talked personally with many ppl which can go anywhere playing lot of different titles BUT they always come back to vindictus.
    The addiction this game have on ppl can't be compared to any other game i know.

    If one day they terminate for good this game they either don't really understand how much this game can give, like some ppl don't understand art, or they might think to rebuild it from scratch keeping the same good recipe.
    That would be outstanding.

    I wish the best outcomings to you and all the other ppl who are spending their time and efforts trying to find a solution that will keep our beloved game alive and kicking.

    Man you really made vindictus into a part of your life, you should get out more. The community has 0 power, if you've played this game the most feedback we ever had during all the years we had in this game was: "we forwarded your suggestions" end of that, never ever have we changed anything with our suggestions, you're just another dumbass who's getting used, and you can't see it. Literally the same type of people that keep going to the casino hoping to win, when they are indebt.

    They give no info, because they won't say, "our contract with the servers has gone by, and we won't bother spending money to renew them, because you guys don't pay enough money for us to make it worth and pay our salary"

    As a player whose spent 7-8 years playing Vindictus I can say that I still care about this game.
    You probably saw a thread posted few days ago that we wanted to make Vindictus great again.
    It’s obvious that servers closing would be really waste of game potential also our progress and time.
    I don’t regret a single moment, any single minute I spent in this game as solo player or later with my Guild.

    I always recommended Vindictus highly on all community forums, blogs and even in free dialogue with friends.
    I could easily find tens or hundreds of arguments why this game is so cool.

    To be honest I would like to recommend it still but only Vindictus before RISE patch.
    Or rather Vindictus before few handicapped updates that makes this game too easy.
    As I stated in my previous post Vindictus is not the same game anymore.
    You can’t control your character skills because ADD Damage makes everything now.
    You can’t Raiding with your Guild because Vindictus is only co-op for 4 players right now.
    - Two most “pain in the ass” issues that most of my allies and players that I used to know just left the game.
    You can disagree but all the time I spent on asking other players about today Vindictus in last year was mostly about those issues.
    (and upgrade fails, but its aint matter when RNGesus rules in this world).

    There is no reason to be surprised that players going to leave from Vindictus.
    I’m still playing in a force of habit and sentiment as well, its not as pleasurable game as It was.

    However I will do everything in my power to help Vindictus and it’s players as well.
    This game sucked my soul and I can’t get it back so what can I do.

    Completly right, the game isn't what it was, it's vastly different, bosses nowadays are chores, back in the days they were interesting when you actually had to open your eyes and play, I can literally login and spam potions/attacks and finish the game faster than I did with my eyes open.

    Day1: yep I did all the bosses, now I go afk in ch1.
    Day2: I did all bosses + neamhain, daily chores are done, time to afk ch1.
    Day3: time for farm dungeons for 6h so I can do my chores faster in day 1 and 2.

    The gameplay vindi was famous for doesn't exist anymore, oh wait it does exist, in one single raid in the entire game. Totally forgot that, we can use vindictus' awesome combat for a raid 4 times a week. which by now 1 run takes 20minutes?

    The reason most still play is for, either vindictus has become part of their life(chore) where they meet friends and chat etc, and farm the same bosses everyday like cleaning your room, or they can't leave because they know they spent so much money on the game, that leaving would be such a waste, so they rather play the game, when they don't even enjoy it anymore. where's the fun in joining a S3 raid where you kill all the content in less than 30min. And before someone says "just remove your gear" then why do you farm mindlessly to obtain better gear, and do the S3 train now in 25minutes instead of 30, saving time on the tedious chores of course.

    Or right! the DOL was very clever indeed, introduce a ranking system, where you make players spend more money and time on the game to become rank1 and show your big internet d1ck to anyone who cares. And now this time solo the S3 raid in 20minutes instead of the 25 you did with the party! feelsgoodman, I can finally finish the S3 raids so fast, that I can spend more time afking in ch1, GOOALLLS!

    once a millenium they introduce a new season where they increased the difficulity on the bosses, but s3, lets make all of s3 just as easy, s2, yep same stats on every single boss, at least in s1 they knew how to make a game, not copy paste the power of bosses, but instead tweak them accordingly.

    The only content in the game is, climbing the rankings and stay in ch1 and showoff for the 2people and that one rolling bush in the distance.

    What they need to is upgrade to from the freaking source engine 1 they are using from valve, there is a freaking source engine 2 they could port it into, but they rather milk the remaining money of all of the 50people playing religiously.

    Or shut this **** down, and make a vindictus 2, and become a great MMO. Everyone has noticed that there is a massive audience for MMOS, I mean freaking bless, even worse and more outdated than vindictus reached 200k viewers on twitch on release, that shows that everyone is desperate for a new mmo

    The community holds exactly 0 power, if you've been playing since 2010, you'd surely realise by now that the community is simply a money tree, there is nothing that can be done, as we have 0 contact with any GMs or Devs. Only region that will survive is KR and TW.

    The fact that you tell people to spend money monthly to keep the game running, show's how brainwashed you are. They don't deserve any money, when they treated this game like some vending machine.

    there are barely 500 players in both NA/EU combined, I am sure you noticed the ghosttowns by now, people move on, find newer games.

    If you love the solo bossing all day everyday, you might as well pick up way better games for that, vindi was meant to be a social dungeon crawler, but hey, they are slowly making it into a single player game.

    Wouldn't surprise me if some patch they make it so you can only do bosses/runs as duo, and say, it's for you guys, not everyone can host, so we decided further minimize the party. So you won't wait 1h and use 20megas to fill up a 8man party.

    I admire your optimistic views of the game, but it's time to see it in a clear view, and not from a nostalgic view,

  • So where are the patch notes?

    I just dont get why quality of service have declined so much on this game, wish they could just add English patch to the Korean server and merge em, but p2p would make that awful so we doomed either way

    Quality has declined ever since EU gms went to become BDO gms.

    Furthermore, if the lack of patch notes isn't a clear view that the game is simply there to milk the last ounce of money from you people who keep buying into optimistic views of this dead game, you only got yourselves to blame.

    Do the smart thing with your time, quit playing, or find a game that is worth playing.

    But hey, this means when game shuts down we get 50% off our next nexon purchase woo!

    I swear, you do these posts just to see if there are active mods on this forum XDD

    Ahah you sure do know me. But in all honesty dauntless has pretty much the same mechanics as vindi, and people play this until monster hunter world comes to PC. The fact that the game had 100k ppl on queue to enter the game is a bright future, unless they go the vindi route and commit sudoku.

    I am sure by now people are tired of the same raids over and over again, so wouldn't hurt trying that game out with some friends, it's free afterall. What makes MMO's fun is whom you play with
