It's coming and you can't stop it: RISE Update
This summer brings for Vindictus' newest update, and no punches are being pulled with this one. Say hello to the Rise: Revolution update, a massive overhaul of Vindictus unlike anything that's been seen before.
Please note, the following changes may impact on existing characters:
Characters below Level 60 will not be able to enhance their gear, even with Enhancement Coupons. If you have an Enhancement Coupon with an expiration date on a low-level character, make sure to use it while you can.
Due to changes to the Marketplace system, all items listed on the Marketplace will be returned to your mailbox when the update arrives. However, listing fees will not be returned. Because of this, we highly recommend not listing high value items for long durations until after the update is released.
The sheer number of changes coming with the Rise: Revolution update is simply massive, with nearly every piece of Vindictus affected in one way or another. The following is a preview of many of the improvements to come, and we'll be giving you more details as the update approaches, so stay tuned!

Comments
wonder how much a +20 will worth? 100b?
Probably need to sell one of my testicles just to afford one.
I think only people who aren't ready because they do not have enough Money or gold to advance. Yet they are the same people who sit there and complain about things are getting boring, there's no updates, there's no changes.
Just run with it, updating is happening whether you like it or not. A simple "Uninstall" would suffice, and save yourself further embarrassment.
Everything else.....just have to wait and see. (Loving the QoL changes, but those enhance rates.....)
No. That's a horrible idea. You should perform the proper ritual of quitting:
1) Announce your leaving with a thread. This will serve as your resignation letter as a mercenary and a hero.
2) Plan a give away to erase temptations of returning and to pass on your tools of legacy to the heroes who will continue on in your stead.
3) Have an in-game celebration for your characters, your time spent in Vindictus, the people you've met along the way, and a closing chapter in your life.
Edit: Preview derp
I cannot condone the straight idiocy of this illogic that you have.
The fact that you have JamesGross giving you an insightful is more than enough as well.
Junyoop had a number of characters set at endgame gear and he does not want this update.
I have
Arisha
Lynn
Hurk
Delia
Vella
Kai
Evie
Lann
All at endgame gear and many of them with +15 level 90 weapons and capped stats. I have over 18 bil gold sitting on my characters. I do not want this update.
The only good thing about this update is that the moment the server is back up I will log in, blow up all of my weapons (including my +15s which had been stuck and I couldn't enhance them anymore) and then quit permanently instead of the back and forth that I'm doing with the game now. My last guild mate that stuck with me through the last 8 years has just permanently quit 2 months ago as well so this will be the end of it.
I'll take any donations, yes please and thank you~
I appreciate the news post. At least we know now.
Bye
If you haven't noticed this is exactly what our patch notes look like. I expect this to be a copy paste when the update does come. They always have ninja updates. Btw this is cool we get rise before any content this summer we've been looking foward to since Winter. *sarcasm*
Credibility DOL = 0.
Also
Sorry for being in a forums, where people give their opinions.
Anyway looking forward the update still, despite the garbage unnecessary damage changes and the pot animation removal. Rest is fine/ok.
