We're gonna play Vindictus for the next two-three weeks, check it out if you're interested. Vindictus is a hub-based action MMO by Nexon with a dark fantasy aesthetic. You choose from a roster of 26 characters rather than making your own, but you can customize them. There's a fatigue system so trying out multiple characters is encouraged.Download: https://store.steampowered.com/app/212160/Vindictus/Pick the NA servers when joining up. We've got a guild, Vindiesels. Send in an application through the guild menu (Y).MMOdventure thread:>>2051131
have we ever played lunia?
>>726030415Screwed up the /vm/ link.>>>/vm/2051131
>>726030415Official server was fucking awful when I played it years ago.
>>726030486Nope, not yet.There's also Luna Online, just to add to the confusion. We haven't played that either.
>>726031076Leveling is much faster now, at least.
>>726030486>"we"kys aquajeet
>>726031380I don't think the leveling speed was an issue. It was the bloated nature of a game that's been around for too long and hasn't had the overall experience reworked to feel good.
>>726030415have fun 'catching up to endgame'They should remake the whole game as a continuous experience instead of turning it into a single player souls game
>>726032268it's one of those games that was fine early on in its life but has been dog shit ever since
>>726030415any cute anons playing this from your little group?preferably twinks i can esex withplaying this otherwise seems wholly unappealing
>>726032268>>726032330I don't understand the point in grinding weeks until the "real game", especially when we stay only 2 weeks. were there really no classic servers for this not-dead MMO?
Pumpkin.
>>726032268This group doesn't play until "endgame" except in rare outlying conditions. I don't believe this game is even cute enough for the showrunners to idle in.
>>726032801You are such a pathetic little worm. Following the threads just to continuously spam shitpost after shitpost.
Any way to download this through the (shudder) Nexon launcher? Steam is giving me a hard time.
>>726032936Install the launcher, pick Vindictus, click play, should be that simple.
>>726030415All I remember from this was the big guy with the pillar / fists had a cool fighting styleAny of the newer characters cool as well?
>>726032330Without having played it in years, I think it's probably fundamentally still good, just an absolute tedious experience. Apparently, they remade a lot of earlier bosses for the later seasons and just shit out new characters to milk the small remaining playerbase.The early game was always redundant grind to catch up, but they shifted this with every update and made the game even easier to make it even more pointless. Instead of wasting 10hours with little friction you now have a hundred hours without any friction. There is a limit how fast you can just run through the game.this sums it up pretty wellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDDRK59WYII
>>726033420What ever happened to the vindictus general and intermittent /v/ threads? Though I remember they were mostly filled with Evie dumps and coom so they were already on their way out.
>>726030415This is still the best action PVE game on the market. The end game is definitely too grindy, but desu you don't need the best gear to have fun. Try to do the first space time distortion raid before calling it quits.
Last time I played when Kael came out and I was just progressing until I think it asked to participate in raids or skip the story to keep progressing solo then I stopped, although Kael felt like just spamming counter to win it was still pretty kino to play through. Love spear-wielding knight characters
>>726033420>and made the game even easier to make it even more pointless. >Instead of wasting 10hours with little friction you now have a hundred hours without any frictionwhy do devs do this
>>726035795Korea never really recovered from the wars.
>game forces you to ERP for a buff
>>726037910Holy Dragon Nest...
>>726037910what the fuck am I looking at
Has anyone played Perfect World International? I reinstalled after like 6 years and I’m getting nostalgia hit.
>>726030486Lunia's the one with the ice witch and the werewolf with giant hammers right? I remember that game being fun
>>726030415awful ideamaybe if there was an emulation of early vindictus when it was actually a physics based co-op dungeon hacker and you could all have fun playing together from the very beginning.retail is a soulless run forward simulator with 'press button to awesome!' dogshit gameplay. you are going to spend half this time on a solo railroad because it takes longer to group up and load in that it does to spam through 5 stages of now meaningless shit.
They don't take proton emails RIP me
>>726039687Huh? They definitely take protonmail, I registered with that. Are you sure you're not getting an error message related to something else?
>>726030415Kino design, but why can't Asians into lances? LANCES ARE NOT MEANT TO BE THICC... at least not that far into the shaft.
>>726041110>complaining about realistic weapons in anime mmoreally nigga?
>>726040762yep, says The email address you've entered is invalid when trying to set up an account on their site
>>726039478There is that private server windictus. I think its progression is right after the two handed sword guy was introduced.
>>726039478>>726042080Windictus would have definitely been the better choice, but it has been down for a month or so now.>spam through 5 stages of [now] meaningless shitthat has been my exact experience with vindictus 13 years ago - running the same instance over and over and uninstalling out of boredom.
>>726039478>press button to awesomeI fucking hate this so much. People clap and encourage that shit. Like any turn based rpg having a cool 20 second animation and it gets boring so fast. Monster Hunter has it now. Souls games are getting there too.I wished they focused more at utilizing the environment. Shit like nailing down Glas Ghaibleann, stripping Succubus or just smashing shit with random props (even though it was never really good).It was over when they remove the Evie crystal.
>>726040762>>726041838Tried making an account through the steam launcher and it gives me this error code 20097
>>726042878you could try the Nexon launcher. Either to play it, or to create a Nexon account.
>>726043306Tried it, says invalid email yet again. unfortunate
>>726043672damn, you're getting styled on by the koreans
>>726043708It's over... they're double-butterflying all around me
>>726030415Wouldn't playing on one of the private servers be more fun so you can at least enjoy the cosmetics without having to dump 5 million USD into the game?
>>726043672That's bizarre. Are you sure you didn't use that e-mail already in the past to register to Nexon?Is it a @protonmail.com address, or one of the different domains they offer (proton.com etc.)?
>>726043908Never made an account with this email, it's a Proton.me email. didn't know they had different domains
>>726044106>proton.me99% sure that's the cause.Someone was able to sign up with a hotmail account, you could try that, I don't think you need phone verification for hotmail.
this shit is more locked down than fort knox
I give up! I'll go play something else for 2 weeks I guess
>>726030415>VindictusI only know that game from GMod addon that i guess ripped bosses and shit from well... the game.
Cool environments in this game.
>Vindictus>On official serversTerrible idea.
>>726030415>official serversanons, please dont do this to yourselves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SMt8TJGqOg
>>726031380Levelling is/was never the issue>Gear grind>Raid focus (read: 2-3whales carrying 9 mooks)>Terrible economy>Gacha focused cosmetic varietyAre so miserableWhich is to say everything of value is intimately related to dropping fat stacks of real money
>censored bloodwack
>>726030415Yeah I played it a long ass time ago
>>726054940Some crazy ass cosmetics they put in huh?
>>726055150Somehow outdone by their potentially crazy cost>Was gonna try for one>Willing to drop 75x3 for the triple bundle discount>Can only purchase the discount once so the full price for the consolation tickets is 250 instead of "just 210" Fucking stupid
oh, nevermind then
>>726057042You also need more than 500kb of free space to install it, grandpa.
>>726058365I know, it's terrible. I already had to delete Age Of Comam to download this shit, twice.I never expected to be so cucked just trying to play old and shitty MMOs.
>>726030415I'm still mad about the last level cap increase locking out my entire account from doing Royal Army Raids and Red Moon Energy. It was all I was casually doing on a couple of characters and now I'm down to only one who can go on normal difficulty RME and that was only after spending a lot on equipment I was already working on beforehand. And it still isn't enough to get back in to Royal Army Raids not to mention Hero difficulty RME. Normal difficulty RME isn't any different at all so I don't know why they made the requirements for it so far beyond the current poverty gear's ceiling.
>>726042606>smashing shit with random props (even though it was never really good).The ice in Hoarfrost Depths and that rusty golden torch thing in the Sewers were the last times objects did amazing damage.
>>726061451oh yeah the ice, I remember that. Don't know about the sewers though
>>726063741The dark blue ice in the Hoarforst Depths made grinding the yeti object kill titles so much easier. The torch was good for object kill bonuses and I remember there was a brief period where my guild would coordinate chain hooking Thor's mouth while everyone else would smash the shit out of the inner mouth with the torch or attacks.
>>726045742Yeah same. But some of those bosses are cool so maybe it's worth trying out? Anyone know when the second game is supposed to drop?
>>726064054Starting at Blackhammer and Irukul you felt like hitting endgame in the old days. The level 60 bosses were great and had a good variety and mechanics too them which already started to decrease with Episode 10 (Level 70 bosses).
>>726064336Soulsclone Vindictus still doesn't have a date I believe.I remember when this was going to be the sequel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC5_yQRINHI>>726064867Glas was where the game peaked for me. Lionotus onward everything was really annoying. It didn't help that around that time my account got broken into and mugged multiple times. I was still generally okay with the dragons trying to get Infinity Twin Swords with piddly poverty 56+60 gear.
>>726065454Lionotus was a bit overtuned and every lobby ended up cheesing him. The design was pretty cool though including that you could just kill the rider.Glas is just peak design, but I also liked stupid gimmick fights like AhglanI faintly remember Mabinogi 2 receiving mixed reception because it was neighter Mabinogi nor Vindictus.Ultimately Ark pretty much became whatever Mabinogi2 Arena looked like.
>>726033420Its a KMMOKoreans love endless easy grind. Porn is illegal there so the only thing that gets them hard is seeing numbers go up while listening to kpop
This game has plenty of cute chicks.
