    @ghengisjohn there's a reddit post where someone tested it with a nice Rizen set. It performed pretty well. I wouldn't rush. There's still a lot of optimization to be done with Rizen's and odds are Nexon will not be proactive in implementing what's necessary even if you have an amazing cpu/mb combo that's meant to work wonders. This game will likely stay dull when it comes to performance until the day it shuts down. I definitely would not buy anything based around how it runs Vindi; buy hardware focused on titles with dev houses that are proactive in getting the most out of their games. It wouldn't hurt to keep single-thread performance in mind for out of date games like Vindi, but don't make it a priority.

    We are also currently at the end of one of those transition periods where people are on vacation until new content comes out. The next major update is expected towards the end of this month or next month, so a lot of players may be back in action soon. School will also be out by then.

    Eh, who's still in school now? University peeps are out, high schoolers are out; everyone who's a normal part of the player base should pretty much be free. The people I know both here and in the EU are already done. Since I've seen the RISE update I've done nothing but log in for free outfitters for the most part, and I know others who are doing the same. I'm putting my time and money into other titles, and again, I know regulars who are doing the same.

    You're right about there being a lull because of the lack of content, but school work isn't keeping the majority of Vindi's pop from resurfacing.

    Lel, RNG on cosmetic item colors. Was bad enough getting ugly wings while some people got pink phoenix, but this is just sad. Vindi can keep this mess and I'll let another company keep my money.

    So if anyone wants some perspective on the enhance rates...
    It takes on average 10,621,060,739 weapons to go from +3 to +20 as posted earlier

    So how much time does it take to go through enhancing a weapon till it breaks/succeeds? Maybe you could do 1 per min with all the animations and resets?
    So you could do 60/hour. If you played 10hours/day that's 600/day or 220,000/year

    So if you played 10hours/day 365days/year and had an infinite supply of weapons, enhance stones and elixirs and all you did all the time you were on was enhance it would take you on average 48,000 years to +20...from +3 without any runes. If you had an infinite supply of +15 weapons it would still take you 4.3 years to get +20 on average....

    Since we dont have infinite weapons how about 1 weapon to enhance per day on average (which is still unrealistic). On average that's going to take you 29,098,796 YEARS (29 Million years) to get +20.

    Well the devs said that they don't want people to get +20 that easy. And +20 will never be a necesity for anything. They introduced it just so people have some kind of goal, even if it's almost impossible to do. They also said that the live success rates will be different from the test server, so we might get higher rates. They said that you'll never need anything more than a +15 so I don't see the problem with that, people that want to sacrifice hours and hours or a lot of money to get that +20 are free to do so, it's all just for fame as you won't really ever need that kind of weapon.

    Putting a carrot in front of players to futilely chase usually doesn't work out. You can go check the BDO forums & Reddit if you'd like to see how happy players are when you actually need the highest enhance in the game to be at the top and players fail at doing so. Their rates are booty also, but at least they have failstacks to increase the chance. Still, once they fail people realize all that grinding was for nothing. A 1% chance at +20 is utterly ridiculous, and because of how probabilities work, that means that far fewer thank 1% of players will ever even see it.

    To put something into the game and tell players that no matter hard they work towards it, no matter how much effort and time they put in, no matter how skilled are at clearing content they will likely never achieve it is a joke. The DOL is a joke. Vindi has become a joke with these changes. This is CNN.
