everything is declining , not a single decision helps to give this game any rebound. the game has taken countless blows, to name a few:

- let down to fashiondictus : the laziness to create diverse set for mix match. everything is outiftter with no broken down model, and no chance at normal dye
- let down to soloist : they nerfed down the good bosses up to a point where they are just completely insignificant. (hero klaus is sure super bad)
- let down to the raiders : 4 man party instead of 8
- let down to the gamblers : increasing the enhancement level to +20, reducing the chance to +14 and +15. enhancement is one of the main reason people keep playing the game, at least til they press the button (at least i dont say, the disabling of double boom was bad. it's a decent move)
- let down to the elitists : the increase of additional damage value up to a point where skill is becoming so insignificant. in old time, good player with +11 can overtake +15 user. at least elitism gives more flavor, competitiveness, compared to war of the riches.
- let down to the forum addict : this new forum is crap. where is the custom avatar option, which has been long overdue? and they wiped out my 15k posts from old forum too
- let down to PVPers : no updates to seal items. wait till they delete it like the labyrinth
- accumulation of useless and stupid craps : useless giant shield, useless light of palala, useless NPCs selling useless gold items (everyone sells wooden weapon and rookie armor. great)
- let down to the Monster Hunter / Dark Soul fans playing this series : not Nexon fault. the developer keeps coming up with ideads inferior to what vindictus really was about.

I loved this game, but I only loved how it used to be. the current state it is in, is already different from how it was.
I want it to run forever, even though I may just log in for a few minutes, just for a quick visit. but should it is superseded as it's becoming a dead weight, I won't be too surprised.

fashiondictus: This just sounds like you're sad they don't do multiple armor sets per level anymore and there are reasons for this albeit for money. Dullahan armor is way too strong and is basically required for future content. Fusing a dullahan set and keeping it high enhance(12 or above) is a massive undertaking. They didnt make other lv95 armors because lv90 was such a disaster with a boss set per boss you had one armor getting all the love from players(terminus) and no love (braha,regina,lugh,abom). With dullahan set acting as the functional 'stat' set they are now free to just design outfitters to sell and you don't have to worry about losing your fuses if you use a outfitter (airtight system allows all players to have at least one).

soloist: I don't know why everyone forgets that they added ein lacher for the soloists. They are not perfect one to one recreations but they will kill you if you don't dodge like the old days and their old attack patterns are left intact. It doesn't have every boss i admit but it has most of them from s1 onward. A recent update to ein lacher even lets you do any battle one time per day regardless if it's the daily rotation so you can just play w/e boss you feel like doing.

raiders: I agree this change should have just been a party size option

gamblers: The problem with the old system in their eyes which was not an issue in NA was that it was too easy. Apparently in KR it is way more common to see +15's everywhere because they have more players to supply trying i guess? Apparently keeping everyone at the same level competitively is not allowed. Also +20 will never happen it is added as a lofty goal no one will ever statistically achieve.

elitist: no a +11 wont beat a +15 user even back then unless the +15 was doing nothing or you were using hurk in his hayday. Character imbalance was rampant back in s2 which might contribute to this viewpoint. It is much better now trust me.

forums: agreed so many promised things just forgotton including having a mod team.

PVP: agreed so much potential in pvp but it's wasted. PVP almost needs a tutorial or you will get beaten just from lack of knowledge.

useless stuff: agreed changing npcs to do nothing was kinda a weird move. fios large shield is situational.

mh/ds: removal of any tangible reward from break offs was a huge mistake imo

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 did use a mega, twice actually. None of my friends are on anymore and every guild I join doesn't really talk. I do admit to try and get a +13 level 95, I'm just tired of seeing people with people with better weapons than my +13 level 90 (I keep seeing people with +14s and 15s).

They have +14s and +15s cuz they either got lucky or have actually tried and failed multiple copies. You sound a bit salty if you only tried one weapon and gave up. That's not how this works with those odds. I wish it worked another way but unfortunately this is how it is.

i actually prefer it the current way. Back in pre rise when r7 scroll drops were stuck to s2 bosses it was a huge pain to do all those bosses + do s3 bosses for their essence no way a normal person can keep up that kinda raid grinding over months. i prefer the streamlined way we have it now where s3 is all you need to do to progress.

its a minigame to lower her defense i think? not the true bo i believe. you have to hit her with a smash when the text comes up and you have the buff. You get the buff by standing near her when she does certain moves. Hiting her with 2 stacks + 3 stacks + 3 stacks again (or 3 +2 + 3) in solo (not sure how many stacks for party or if same) breaks her outfit and gets you 1 progress to the fashion police title out of 10.

LoLoBooty has an excel he/she has been keeping track of the rise drops.
