I don't like what you wrote here. Of course not all parts above, but some I think it's just a poor excuse.
This game has many things that lead people to quit not just this one. But your reason is what I don't like.
First, I say again we re playing in EU, and we have bots but the price isn't affordable like what you wrote.
Second, the items for Int char is always cheaper than Str chars. And you said you re top 4 but can't make new rings even you have played every day. No I dont mean 24/24, but even my friend plays only 2-3 hours/day. He still can make these rings and now can enhance them.
Third, the content was released at Korea few months ago. It means if you have come to forum and spent 10 minutes at Future content, You should have known these things. But I think the reason is here that you wouldn't want to change even if you knew. Why would I do this when these rings still can be served me well? And that why people quit long time ago after Rise. They choose to leave/quit instead of adapting the changes.
Before Rise, my 80+15 weapon was still good that I didn't need to look at 90 weapon. But thing changed when Rise came. The new Add damage, the new cap att, crit, att limit ...etc that forced me to start building my set again. At this time, I could choose as you did now or step forward.
And what I write here not to keep you stay in this game, but to share my thought. That the real reason you leave/quit the game that you feel frustrated and busy in real life then it's ok. But not like a top 4 Sylas cant continue the game because of a stat that introduced long time ago!
Getting new content is fine, making it more difficult with higher stats requirements is ok too. But imo this counterforce thing is just an another nexon scam - they just punish players that play normally without any cheats with this huge mats/goldsink.
If I havn't been saving mats and gold for about a year now I wouldn't be able to enhance accs and I still have my favourite event lvl 80 ring that can't be enhanced and replacing it would be like getting new +13 dulla weapon (enchants for rings are hella expesive/rare - havn't got The dead es since rise update- and after this update even rings prices went up).
They could have enabled enhancing all accs (with less cost and less cf gain) so normal player can rly progress.
Nexon created another hole between endgame players and new/progressing players so endgame players will gain even more money while it will take progressing player double/triple the time to get to endgame (I hope new players like grinding since all of the things they get will be underpriced since endgame player can farm it 2x faster even going solo).
I totally understand Aibou: If they want to duo the new raids and they only got old lvl 80 rings - changing both rings (enchants + infu) and enhancing them to +20 to deal some dmg in new raid would cost about the price of +15 dulla weapon in EU (if they had mats then 2x new unenchanted rings +15 would be about the price of +12 weapon, but if you don't have mats saved then no chance) (less)
@rondomiza -> You never heard of hp scaling?
@noctred -> Vindi became same gridfest as BDO (or is slowly becoming), BDO at least got more things to do and it isn't purely pve … (more)oriented as vindi. Yet vindi is more lacking with new content than ever before. When will you stop playing? When you get all equip +20? Well good luck with that, I don't need to run same boss 200-500 times to get gold for maybe +13
As for this thread I'd surely love to see that old combo numbers at the right corner, old XE move, being able to jump in town (if it was buggy in battles why can't you jump in town where it wasn't bugged?), 8 man raids (there were plenty soloers, duos, 4 and 6 man back then with hp scaling), also I would like to see less diference between equip and more teambased play so even the worse equipped players can feel usefull. Those times when you were happy you have karok for clash, sylas and evie for hp regen, lynn for interrupt, kai and vella for bo. Everyone just play solo play in 4 man like you don't care about others now. I wouldn't count Vindi as MMO - it's just a singleplayer + coop game and in that genre you can find many better games out there.... (less)
Even if you think RISE didn't cause decrease of playerbase it showed us where the game is heading -> less content (but quality isn't any better), gearbased, more gacha boxes, events … (more)that doesn't rly reward player, less free stuff (we used to get new gear with every boss), longer time between updates, less options, less teamplay, less special actions (where did karok x delia combo went with new updates?), forcing annaoying mechanics to prolong battles (dullahan insta shield after 8th bar), less bugfixes. What improved? Hmm... shorter w8 times and battes?
Overall quality went down... As a free game it's still good...
And for anyone telling others to go without gear to increase difficulty-> it's multiplayer game so it would bother other party members (i don't prefer solo, for solo there are better single player games). The game is still about improving your skill and gear so if bosses are too easy that means you have nothing more to do. (less)
