  • Character Skill vs. Reward

    I normally do not participate and refrain from posting on these forums, but I feel like I may have to pitch in. We should only give our legitimate personal experiences with the characters we're knowledgeable with and actually play, instead of comparing other characters merely based upon rumors of what other people say about their specific character, and what YOU theorize what YOU think determines the said character is harder to play than the other character. Experience is a better teacher than analysis. We only qualify to give the comparisons of the two different characters IF we have the actual proper knowledge and experience beforehand to even begin to compare the two.

    With that being said, for me PERSONALLY, Spear Lann is the hardest in terms of the most difficult character OVERALL to master. I was going to say "OVERALL to play", but I think some people might just correlate "play" with "DPS", which is entirely not the point, just only partially. I say overall, because in order to determine what makes each character more difficult overall than the other are determined by several factors: character vs boss match-up, survivability, optimal combat performance, etc. I'm not saying spear lann is the hardest just because he's my main, and want to make out as if their own character is the hardest just so I can "feel special". I have a good amount of experience with other characters as well. I have several Golden Gods, Glaive Lynn included. She is definitely my second hardest. My plan was to get Golden God for every character, but I lost interest simply due to boredom, not difficulty, even for Twin Sword Vella. So, no Golden God Twin Sword Vella. Few may argue that you can play like a coward in Ein Lach, and that it takes no skill, just patience to get Golden god. Well if that's the case, Spear Lann was and is still the hardest because even though sometimes I did try to play safe, there was some danger to that as well, since you just drag the fight on for a long time. Usually, there are match-ups more heavily favored towards certain characters than others. However for spears, every Ein Lach was a struggle. I got Golden God with spears as a testament to my hard work. I was the only Spear Lann that got Golden God on all spears in the NA and EU region before the +0.13s dodge and 50% Ein Lach boss health reduction, not because I was "good", but as a testament to my hard work ethic. What I'm trying to say is, is that regardless of how difficult your character may be, you can accomplish anything due to a testament of your hard work ethic. Of course, there are characters more easier than others in terms of overall difficulty, but ultimately in the end, it's you, as the player to master your character.

    As you can see, everyone has a different opinion on which character is the hardest. Experience is a better teacher than analysis, and your mileage may vary.

  • Combat Nuisances - Hurk Deflection and Gust Sting

    Hello! I am a Golden God on Spear Lann, so I hope this gives some credibility to my addressing of the issues regarding certain skills of some characters for the sake of all Vindictus community. I sincerely apologize if this statement sounds like I'm bragging, which is not the intention. I just feel like it's the best way to give my suggestion more weight and considered more cautiously. Let's keep this forum G-rated :) Here is the ticket I submitted, but I would also like some support from the rest of you guys as well as any feedback you may have to offer.

    There is an issue with deflection upon being in transcendence state for Hurk. During Hurk's transcendence state, Hurk may do a smash attack, but unintentionally try to deflect during the middle of a boss' attack animation, prompting Hurk to raise his greatsword to parry, but then dropping the parry immediately due to being at 0 stamina to not be able to deflect, which then forces Hurk into a stamina "out of breath" state, resulting in Hurk being vulnerable to the boss' attack during that time. This is my #1 reason as to why the majority of my hits for Hurk in Einrach are due to this issue. My recommendation is to include a separate key input for deflection.

    The next issue is regarding Sword Lann, Twin Sword Vella, and Longsword Fiona; Gust Sting. This is an issue that has been around for a very long time. Gust sting shares the same key input of smash attacks, and I feel like this is creating some issues. The input of smash attacks lasts too long to the point where even if the player is already left clicking to do normal attacks even before the smash animation ends, it prompts the player doing an accidental gust sting. This is an incredibly annoying issue that is affecting too many characters, and I feel like this would make a lot of people happy if this was resolved. Since gust sting and smash attacks share the same key input, my solution is to include a separate key input for gust sting, which would completely remedy this problem instead of having to modify or completely remove gust sting altogether :)

    Thank you very much for your time for reading all of this and I do hope you strongly consider my request, not for me, but for the sake of the Vindictus community and all it's lovely people. Hope you have a fantastic day.
