  • When are best inner armor sales?

    http://vindictus.nexon.net/news/18703/black-friday-sales-event-preview

    Has some mentions of what will be for sale. There is some talk of an "amazing price" on a package that contains inner armor and hair, but if it's more then a dazzle em dead package I kinda wouldn't see it as a huge value.

    That said here's hoping that inners will be available cheap, I bought one on my delia I wasn't nuts about because I was tired of the default and it would be nice to get another inner coupon cheap to use down the road when more inners (hopefully) become available for her. I know they usually have a sale for national underwear day but that's in August.

  • Vindictus Pumpkin Carving Contest [ Winners]

    Going back to the topic at hand, I am not looking for a win here. I am simply wanting judges/gm feedback on what THEY believe I could have done better, and in which criteria was lacking score.

    As previously stated, the assumption was actually spot on. I attempted a hieroglyph style carving for Ancient Lakoria. I do not see why my pumpkin is being targeted here, but it is interesting that there were not more winners, when the winners themselves seem to believe there should have been more winners.

    On a more positive note, I did not let my Lakoria pumpkin rot, in fact it is now a half eaten delicious pumpkin pie~
    I was planning on cooking braha, sort of like cosmic justice. He eats me, I eat him, cycle of life. But then I lifted up the lid about 10 minutes ago and it's getting moldy already. Aw come on. Can you beleive that Blizzard contest pumpkins had to be carved by the 26th? No way those were making it 5 days to halloween. Just last night at around 2am I turned the light off in there and there was no mold. I'm kind of amazed really, lol.

    Okay that is your opinion, and here I am stating mine. Sure it could have been worded better to not have been so harsh, and "rude" in your terms. How would you feel if you didn't win and lost to some other entry that was lacking 70% of the criteria, you would be upset and don't lie to yourself( I remember a post you made in another contest thread complaining how the Haiku/Limerick contest should have been judged on how creative and unqiue the entry were and not random) So please don't act all righteous.. Why have a criteria? If you aren't going to commit to it fully. Just boggles my mind, I'm not saying MINE should have won, Spider did a great one, and so did some others that were a lot better in terms of execution.
    • Creativity and originality – 40%
    • Use of Vindictus Theme – 30%
    • Technical and artistic skill/execution – 30%

    I am just disappointed in how the criteria was handled that is all.
    You can't control how other people will act, but you can control how you react to them. If I had lost I would be upset. I might even get depressed. That doesn't mean I would trash anyone else. And being upset is no justification for tearing other people down. When I asked that the haikus and limericks be judged, Order5 reminded me of something important, and that is that judgment is subjective. If you recall/look up that thread you'll see I knew right away he was right about it. Now I don't see any entries that ignored "70%" of the criteria. I don't see any entries that I thought weren't at least creative. I liked everyone's efforts frankly. I'm sorry you're disappointed man and I know how much that sucks. But clearly whoever judged the contest just saw things differently than you did.

    I am just disappointed in how they handle the criteria, why have one if you aren't going to force it. One of the winners just doesn't cut it, lack of creativity and artistic skill and I'm sure everyone can notice how bland and boring theirs is compared to the other winners..

    Harsh to say, but it's the hard truth.

    Thanks for the feedback, I guess.
    Well if I may be harsh, your pumpkin wasn't so great that you have any grounds to be rude to any of the other participants. There's a lot in your own work to take stock of before you lash out at others.
    How is there a winner's list if the contest is still ongoing...

    EDIT:

    image submitted an entry exactly 1 minute before the official deadline...can we at least get judged? I thought our idea was really cool even if we're not as technically skilled as some of the winners :(
    If I may judge your entry it's pretty awesome imo man. I think it's cool that you also hit upon the idea to make a Braha-Lantern and I like that you depicted both sides/aspects of Braha. The different colored lights were a really nice touch and they look pretty cool.
