Nexon hasn't bothered with their own weekly contest since March. That to me is not a sign of a company staying on top of its game. Further, Nexon cut all communication with players before they dumped Dragon's Nest off to another publisher. I know that is unlikely to happen with Vindi as they produce it in house via DevCat, but if the end is drawing near or things are simply horrible I don't expect it to be acknowledged. The simple fact is that Rise might be doing what the DoL wanted, keeping new players around past very early game, but it has been very divisive for long time players. I and most of the people that I played with are not playing for hours a day and then turning around and pretending otherwise; we simply rarely log in anymore. On one of my accounts that I used to get on daily I got the Returning Mercenary package when I hopped on.

People are free to see things however they like, and I don't like what I see. I voice it here on the forums, and I make it clear by spending on other games rather than Vindi as are many others. Feel free to enjoy the game if it appeals to you, but don't think that trying to tell anyone else that they just need to suck it up and enjoy the game as is will change that Rise carved the game up in a way that hurt a lot more than it helped. It's harder than ever to obtain capped stats because the resources for it aren't being farmed in near the volume that was occurring.

I guess time will tell if the new players are willing to stick around and grind through the wall that they hit with 90/95 content, but taking away the community aspect by removing even small incentives like seals and larger parties when it comes to doing former raids doesn't sit well with me and I don't want to support that.

@Rade Nah fam, taking 8 man out of most of the game/turning raids into regular missions and getting rid of hard mode, making it one and done for enhancing, and doing away with much of crafting, along with other things that players didn't want, and making combat until end game a complete and utter joke very much killed the game. It is the ultimate irony that so many of the QoL changes that players have been begging for over the years finally show up only to be ruined by changes that destroy the core of the game. People aren't whining, they're speaking their mind. I will play here and there, but this will never, ever be my main title again in its current state and I will never spend another dollar with the main Rise changes in place.

Do not think by being flippant and ignoring player's actual reasons for no longer wanting to be a part of Vindi that you somehow make them invalid. KR and other region players have left by the score as well. Some have stuck around, and some whales are still pumping in money, but the game is not healthy in the ways that it could be.

Would you look at that? Months later and still no update.

Goodbye though

Eh, I hardly play now and I still post some. There are even rage quitters that still post, doesn't mean they actively play. MMOs are about community, and people still enjoy talking to the people who are a part of the community they've been a part of through the game.

I mean compare to what Korean's got 0.03%. We have it easy lol.

It's 5% for ONE of the following, not a 5% chance for you to obtain each.

Indeed. He forgot to mention it's a 5% chance of getting 10 different items, not just the outfitters. On average it will take 20 boxes to see one of the rare items, and then there's only a 10% chance it will be what you're wanting. The chances of getting what you want from any box are 0.5%. 200 boxes on average to guarantee any specific item out of those boxes.

Think about how painful enhancing can be with with 50 and 40% chances. It's fine to throw your money at this if you like, but you're fooling yourself if you think even dropping $90 on a pack of 50 boxes is going to remotely guarantee you the specific item that you're wanting. If Nexon thought that were sufficient they'd simply make the items direct purchase for $90 and call it a day, but they know that the odds favor players having to spend closer to that $360 to get all of what they want, and that's if they aren't an outlier. Also if the wording is correct, it's one coupon per box, which means 250 boxes to get enough coupons for additional items.

Spend freely, just know that you won't be coming out ahead in most cases.
