  • Less attack speed after RISE?

    @Order5
    I've only messed with Delia, Sylas, and Lynn--aside from Fifi, but she's been sped up overall, so it's hard to measure with her--and two of them are min height, but all of them feel slower. Maybe we'll get more heads up on this as people continue reporting what's going on in KR.

    This is not as bad as people want it to be. As I said, there is literally no reason to be outraged by this, The game is still largely the same, strong players will hard-carry and weak players will leech until they become a strong player, or quit. Vindictus has always been like this, at least for the last few years. This game is like Warframe, it doesn't matter how strong other players get, it will always be mutually beneficial for everyone they interact with. This is all I am saying. In my opinion, the fact that they made the raids faceroll, or you can't enhance restored gear anymore are way bigger issues because these directly affect every player in the game. I could not care less if some dude that has better gear than me anyways, got some more AD than me. This is a beta issue especially for this type of game.

    Also, getting the gear to begin with does take a degree of skill as well.
    Spamming the same morbus boss to get money sure takes skill lol... ^^'

    Makes me understand why Rise actually happened on this game when I see certain posts on these forums.

    There is skill in patience
    There is skill in time/money management
    There is skill in planning
    There is skill in spending your IRL money wisely (unless you are just a rich whale that can waste money left and right)
    There is skill in having the sheer willpower to play this grindy ass game.
    The game isn't just fighting the boss, most of the game is farming, grinding, planning and patience. There is a reason some people cannot and/or will not ever be as geared as the best players. It is not ALL skill but it does take some skill to achieve this in any game. Everything in life, including breathing and reading this post, takes a degree of skill to execute.

    Those things that you mention don't equate to skill in game. For some reason you missed that others are arguing that the point of this update is to get people to feel their best option is to spend real money to progress. Someone who drops a few hundred--or a few thousand if they're unlucky--on the new special runes and premium runes and NX boxes for airtight items to sell for gold to buy whatever they don't get lucky on does not reflect in game skill, and it never will.

    Guess what? Once that person who's all geared out hops into a raid even if they're horrible that stacked gear will keep them alive and ever hit they get on the boss in their unskilled flailing will get them more rewards than someone who knows the bosses, knows their character, and puts in the effort to play well--simply because they don't have the gear.

    That is not a good system. You believe what you like, but your point has been refuted in other threads and multiple times in this one.

  • post-rise goals?

    PrototypemindPrototypemind
    I have none. The current state of the game isn't worth the effort of trying to do any kind of progression.

    Before the update actually dropped and I found out how badly they'd messed it up, however, my goal was to actually start enjoying my alts more and to continue having fun doing all content. I enjoyed the combat of Vindi paired with the social aspects. The challenge is gone for all but S3, and S3 Hero at that really, and the power creep to do that area on even my mains? Nah.

    If they ever revert some of the changes to make the game more social again and to make it so that even in the best gear Hero S1 can be a challenge for all, and so that S1 Hard is a challenge for a good number of players--and that mode actually gets put back into the game--I'd love to get back into things.

    I have multiple +15s and I'll tell you that they don't make those 4 person runs feel any less lonely, hah. I really, really enjoyed doing a Royal Army Polar Bear run and just seeing a large group interacting again. Massively Multiplayer Online, and DevCat has taken that away for most of the battles.

    Sorry for the diatribe, I just really am let down that the game has been turned into this when this update had the potential to make the game amazing for both old and new players alike.

    The market is absolutely saturated with sellers and thirsty for buyers. They trivialize the difficulty while at the same time opening up the RNG floodgates. Why does the DoL not understand balance?
