Punch myself repeatedly in ein lacher after taking 2 months off. 54/70.... getting there slowly. Meanwhile, scream at videk for scamming away all the gold I manage to make.
Still haven't been motivated to even try Ein Lacher. Solo content just doesn't interest me much. I'll farm event stuff solo at times, but that's about it.
So, farm event stuff. Hop on random S1/S2/S3 trains Help random lowbies Slowly max my chars. I have three real mains and three alts that I play often, plus my here and there chars like Vella, Fifi, and my former love, Hurk. Even with the update It will be a hot minute before I max anyone out. Grab interesting armor and such when the mood strikes and throw together new sets. Honestly, if Vindi had some real open-world areas I doubt I would touch anything else. As it stands, if they get the combat right in Bless or if KUF2 ever releases and it lives up to its potential Vindi will return to the back burner. I guess we'll see.
I've asked the same thing even before I reached my plan @ old forum. It's good to ask oneself why you got attracted to this game in the first place and stick to that.
Gonna be that underdog and beat bosses naked. Saves repair fee too.
That's a good question, I do a few daily battles and then log off, can't stay for too long and don't even feel like it. It's not that the game was fun back then, but it was the moments we had while playing with others and learning about the game. End-game actually isn't that easy to achieve, you gotta be maxed out on literally everything, from weapon to accessories, but once you've done it all, there's just nothing left to do but to help others get better or show off what you've gotten out of this game.
What I'm saying is like this: Suppose you go to the gym to workout and you've done so consistently for about 4 years, you are muscular from top to bottom. Is there a point in going to the gym anymore? What's there left to do in the gym now that you're buff? Is the reason why you workout to become stronger? or do you just enjoy cardio? If you enjoy the cardio, then keep going man. If your goal was wanting to become stronger (after 4 years) you've achieved it, you can look back and say I've done a good job. What's left? Either try to push yourself even further or just guide others to where you are right now so you can earn their respect (maybe).
Well.. you could try gearing more chars.... I fully scrolled 3 chars so far >.< Maybe I'll go for a 4th one day... but it takes ages to make the billions to scroll chars without spending any nx.
140 crit isn't necessary for Neamhain. I have seen Korean Players going in w/ 120+ crit and they do just fine. 15K DEF? Nice to have, but not needed unless you want to take as many hits possible. There have been several players going in with 12-13K DEF and they do just fine. 24-25K ATT is more than enough for Neamhain. I just don't understand why when new content hits NA, boat requirements become so over-exaggerated.
Edit 1: What is dodge? If you play characters that can absorb/block attacks, DEF should be the least of your worries.
I log in and raid with my friends who occasionally come back for old times sakes.
Otherwise I just play the market and anticipate future content. Been playing other games with my group of buds in the meantime, because really....
There's only so much to do in Vindictus, and doing it over and over again every day is simply not fun. I love Vindictus's combat style, but other games are simply more dynamic, and there's more things to work toward in those games.
Mainetenance mode on Lynn smash timings. As soon as I take a semi-longish break my rates go to the dumpster.
Otherwise, I just do raida that I find fun or fancy at the time. I don't forcr myself to do content I don't like. I still find the combat relatively fun so yeah.
I understand that the population is top-heavy, but not all of us are done with our builds. There's people who are so so so so close to being capped but are missing something trivially dumb, like 5 crit. There's people who aren't goldcapped even accounting for theoretical gear value and never will be. There's a significant pop who are still leveling their road to 90 chars and don't dare touch S3 raids. And then there's people who are lvl<50 who are still learning the mechanics.
Of course there's nothing left for you to do. <i>Your progress is waay above average. I guess what you actually want is new content, now, repeatedly.
Well I want a sandwitch. Guess who's getting what they want.

That's a really weird comparison. Going to the gym for 5 years is good for your health. Sitting in front of a computer screen playing virtual barbie dolls... Not so much.

Rinse and repeat...
Then stand around in panties.
