Not sure which of these is going to be the official thread, guessing they'll be merged, but +20? Really? All the near heart attacks that went into +15 and now there's a chance of destruction all the way to 20 with even worse success rates for +13 and beyond and no rune/shard system to continue going higher? I am not a fan of that at all. It's garbage in BDO and it will be garbage here.

I have to agree as well with all of S1 and S2 and S3 no longer being full 8 person raids. Hero S1 was fun for the luls, and S2 was still a challenge for a lot of players even in 90 gear. Why did we never get Hero mode S2? Do they really think 4 people only is going to emphasize the multiplayer aspect? 4 player parties do not allow for nearly enough Fashiondictus.

I see a lot of positive changes, but it is very clear that these were all done as Nexon saw fit with no consultation from players who are familiar with and very involved with the game. So many amazing fixes but a few that will cause just as much division and stress as before, if not even more in some cases. I really don't think they get that 8 player battles were fun. Even farming Lagho for events was fun having a full group and just messing around. These changes will definitely keep a lot of people playing casually but I can't be happy about the depth it will take away in terms of community interaction.

Huge steps forward, huge steps back, e-special-f'ingly the +20 system. That can go DIAF.

Sort of touched on above, but you don't need to make crazy amounts of gold because prices on everything except for super high enhances and cosmetics are way down. The prices on NA East/West will continue to drop and become more reasonable as the whales continue to disappear and the gold sellers are kept out of the game.

communication with players is actually much better than ever before. i'm still loving this game and spending $ on it.

hang in there!

Not true at all. Communication is horrible at the moment. It's not the worst it's ever been, but it ain't good. OP is on some strong fishing game, but let's not let Nexon Global off the hook when they have been less than transparent about what's going on lately or responding to major issues often.

Yep, commenting a lot.

Current events: Awesome.
Current state of the game: Not so much.

Direct launch is still dead in the water. I can play on my desktop, but the Nexon launcher causes global memory errors on my laptop, which never happened with direct.

Regions who have been blocked still never got real explanation on why they were, leaving players who have spent money out in the cold. I get that the policy agreed to on the game is that it can happen any time, but giving nothing but legalease as a response does not sit well with me. It makes it clear that between that and some of the bans that players can get the boot any time without any recourse or discussion.

Arisha's Resonance still causes the center of everyone's screen to go haywire. Going on a year since that started. Her Temporal Shift still glitches Bark; going on three years now? Longer? Abomination and Kraken can still glitch into perma slow-mo, and likely neither will ever be fixed.

Still no update on the Screenshot contest, still no communication with the community on well put together, thought out concerns. It's clear that Nexon Global has its stance on how it's going to handle the community going forward. Sometimes we'll get things that we like, sometimes we won't, but whatever the case we aren't going to get to have open discussions about what's going on.

I'm still playing Vindi, but I'm playing other things as well and spending my money there and on real life items. I'm done supporting this game with cash until there are some changes. If things never change, oh well. I'll enjoy the game for what it is until it sinks into the sands of time.

@Gewellirious You're joking, right? A free Avatar set and set of toy weapons for every character on your account if you wish isn't "decent rewards"? Yeah, you can take that somewhere else. Sometimes we get shafted on events but this one is more than generous. The only time prior the Avatar coupons were given out prior was for those who completed Neamhaim, which limited it to about 5-10% of the Vindi population. Everyone is capable of doing this on every character. Cheesing it is only an option, and something you can choose to do or not do.

The complaints about being forced to do Today's Battles for the Easter eggs were justified; whining about this is whining in truth, complaining about Nexon finally giving us the same rewards and event types that KR gets. Yeah, I'm laying into you, and I feel no qualms about it, because this event is more than fair.
