However, you can safely enchant using rank 7 & 6 scrolls if you craft one by combining 4 scraps of the same scroll.

4 Echoing Enchant scroll scraps = 1 Echoing Enchant Scroll with a 100% success rate (No risk of breaking)

I think we found the leader of the dead game circle jerk.

Seriously, we get what you're saying. You've practically said it 10 times over in multiple threads. Unless you have something new to bring to the table would you politely put a sock in it. Reiterating the same simplistic thing over and over or bumping your own dead game thread isn't productive at all. Nor is consecutively double posting the same generic dead game crap. It just shows that you have a very narrow way of viewing things and are unable to come up with an intellectual post that holds any significant meaning. Some people are in the same boat as you and think the game is doomed, but at least they can make a well written/intelligent argument unlike you @Someguywashere

I've looked at all of your posts. More than half of them are either straight dead game rhetoric or some variation of it while the other portion is bashing Vin & praising BDO. Going off of how you present yourself in your posts, you probably don't even play Vindictus and have no business being part of this community. Someguywashere? More like Someguyneedstoleave. I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one's that's recognized you as a forum troll, but I'll be the first to call you out on your shenanigans.

These are just a few of his posts.

Stop blindly throwing money. This game is coming to a end. There is no hop.e Maybe if they cared about feedback, but people like you treat that as complaining

I just tried to make a new weapon, hoping to get it to +13. I couldn't even get it plus 11, even with the gobhicrap stones. Also, I waited a half hour trying to get people to do one of the story missions with me and no one wanted to come. I know I've spent a lot of money on this game and that kills me but I guess I'll just have to think that it went towards the times when I really enjoyed myself. I wish I could give away my stuff though, I have a lot of nice outfits and accessories...

You did know that you could have easily bought stones from the seal shop to 100% your weapon to 11, 12, and 13 right? That is unless you were trying to do a level 95 weapon. If for some reason you decide to stick around, go with a +13 lvl 90 weapon instead of gambling away your hard earned lvl 95 in the pursuit of power. As for story missions, did you make a boat & just sit around and wait or did you use a mega? It also helps to have either a large friends list and/or active guild. Kinda sad to see you turned off by these things when they could easily have been remedied. But if it's your time to go, oh well. Glad you at least had some good times.

I can already see that some of our forum regulars are going to pick this post apart and spew the same old dead game bs. Go ahead and make those posts. All that does is show us that you really don't care about the game. I'm betting that I'll be able to quote this paragraph as a reply to someone that didn't even fully read this thread before posting dead game crap.

We had a GM online two days ago in channel 2 around 8:45 PM central time.

To be honest if it was any other game, or any other publisher you might've had a point there. Sure you can blame the community for complaining about things like 10 DAILY MISSIONS ARE TOO MUCH +cry +cry, but the game IS dying, there is nothing wrong with addressing those concerns. The population is dropping drastically. The updates are getting more stale. You see more P2W aspects with every update. You can't blame the players if the publisher/devs are mistreating us the way they are.

I agree that there is nothing wrong with addressing the concerns of a game dying. My problem lies in the fact that sometime last month I clicked the general discussions link only to be greeted by six dead game threads on the first page. Nearly all of them were doing nothing but spewing the same dead game crap without offering any kind of solution. Look, we can have a dead game thread, but notice how I said thread and not threads. We only need one, and it needs to be a proper thread where concerns/potential solutions are actually discussed, not a circle jerk where people repeat the same thing over and over without offering anything productive. And by solutions, I mean something we can do. It's obvious our suggestions aren't taken seriously, so with that in mind the game is in our hands. The question is what are we going to do with it?

I also disagree about this game being P2W. Go play Runes of Magic from GameForge for a while, then come back and tell me Vin is still P2W. I bet you'll come to appreciate how much of a fp2 friendly game Vindictus actually is.

I want you to understand something. EU and NA can do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I admire suggestions like these, but we hold no power. We're just a side audience. The game was made in KR for KR, they just decided to spread it to other regions, but their targeted audience is KR.

We can do something and we do hold power. The game may have been made by KR and their target audience is KR, but if NA/EU is making enough bank, then our servers should be kept alive. Doing what we can do preserve our existing players plus bringing in and retaining new players can make a difference. It will take effort and I'm willing to make that effort unlike some.

No, I wouldn't. And even if I did they'd just quit after 1-2 months. The gearing system is bullshit, you don't feel rewarded after you finish the raid and the only thing that matters is gear. PvE becomes boring after you realize that you're reacting to bosses pre-animation. I get that it can be intriguing at first but don't tell me it doesn't become boring after that. They gave the middle finger to PvP when it had so much potential. I've taught PvP to so many people (had over 50 students) and they all liked it but what pushed them away? It was all the time, the same reason - It's outdated, gear having too much influence, not rewarding enough. I tried making the same threads so many times but related to PvP on old EU forums. Nothing worked. And from that experience I'm telling you, nothing we say or do matters or ever will matter.

I'm going to bullet point my replies here to keep this part organized.

• So what if a recommended person quits after 1-2 months? There's still the underlying opportunity that they will bring someone into the game with them as well. Who knows, that extra person may end up staying. That alone is worth it.
• The gearing system is only bullshit if you make it so. If you can't be happy with +8 armor and a +13 weapon, then you're only screwing yourself in the pursuit of power. You can safely enhance a level 90-95 set to +8 without destruction chance, and you can rune you weapon to +13 through the seal shop. As for enchants, buy 100% scraps so you ain't gotta play the RNG game on enchants. Doesn't seem so bad now does it? Sure you're not gonna be top dog, but it's more than enough to get you by in every fight the game as to offer.
• I personally do feel rewarded after a boss fight even if I don't get a good drop. The reason is because I enjoy the fight purely for what it is. It's an opportunity for me to do better than I did last time and push myself to play better.
• This may strike you as odd, but it doesn't become boring to me no matter how many times I do a fight. Just a little backstory, but I'm a kingdom hearts fan & back in 2011, I had the JP version of Kh2 Final mix imported. At the end of the game, a bonus area was unlocked where you could fight supped up version of some bosses. I've probably played each one of those boss fights hundreds of times and I still find them fun because no two fights are alike even if it's against the same foe. I feel the same way about Vin's fights. I know its weird but I'm a sucker for hack n slash where skill is a high factor.
• I'll be honest, but I've never really done pvp in Vin. I've never done siege or any other form of pvp aside from trading in arena. Because of that, I won't say anything due to my lack of knowledge here.

I'd rather show these things to people that want to start the game to know what they're getting into and then let them make the decision if they want to play Vindictus or not.

I'm probably gonna strike a nerve with some people by saying this, but I think that if you buy a gacha, you're an idiot that fell for the scam. From what I read earlier this year when the topic was more relevant, nexon was lying about % chances of gachas and blah blah. You know what tho? I genuinely don't care because I've never bought a gacha in this game over the 8 years I've played. I don't spend my money on chances, but rather only spend on a guaranteed return. In a casino, the odds are always in favor of the house, and the same goes for gachas. I didn't need this whole lawsuit thing happening to know that gachas are a scam.

Just like in my reply to Curai, Nexon is still providing a free game for you to play and gives you the option to play all the content without spending a dime. That's more than enough of a reason to show support by buying some stuff here and there. Just don't buy gachas and you're fine.

I would show people that Nexon got called out for the gacha scheme, but follow up by mentioning that despite this, they still have a fun product that's worth supporting. (Supporting doesn't necessarily have to mean paying money).
