Vindictus

This MMO is like 5 years old and I have legitimately never heard of it. The screenshots and stuff look cool. What makes this game worth playing?

I had fun for an hour or so with it many years ago.

It was fun when it launched, and it actually got pretty damn hard. What drove me away from it was that I felt I was playing at a severe handicap by trying to solo, but their net code didn't really seem that great for grouping -- and grouping with random retards was ALSO frustrating.

I'm sure the game is totally different now.

I don't know what the state of the game is like now but I've played it. The game has action RPG combat with adventure zones for solo, small groups(4ish?), and mid sized groups(8ish?). Most of the good gear was crafted through a crafting system that would eat your mats if it fail, so you had to choose between lots of grinding for mats or buying failure reduction reagents on the cash shop to save time. Also it uses P2P hosting so connection quality can vary wildly if you're grouping with randoms.

The thing that kept me from investing a good amount of time into the game was Nexon support. It's awful and the forums were littered with people waiting up to a year for replies from CS. The Korean version of the game seems to be much less buggy and better supported from what I gather, but I have no first had experience with that. I've kinda avoided Nexon games because of their horrific CS reputation. If this has changed I wouldn't mind trying their games again.

The short of it is it's a fun game and worth a try if you think you'd like an MMO action rpg with fun dungeons and classes. But be wary that if something goes wrong with your account you may not get very good support.

It's a Nexon game so like all Nexon games you basically run the same 5 missions over and over again. If you've never played a Nexon game before it's worth it for a few hours of fun but the shallowness of the game becomes pretty obvious pretty quick.

Also yeah, the lag is horrendous in groups to the point of why even bother.

I've never played a Nexon game before. I'll probably give it a shot just to check it out. Thanks for the replies

Played a few years back for quite a while and loved the combat mechanics / engine. It's pretty heavily pay2win at the high end but there's still a lot of hours of fun to be had.

It's alot of fun at the lower levels, some really fun boss fights with a friend or 2. It gets to be shit at anything over level 50 - 60 though.

I still remember that polar bear fight, loads of fun with a friend.

I played this for a few months a while back and I'd have to say the combat is what makes it worth playing. The combat system is very in-depth and places a heavy emphasis on learning encounters. It reminds me a bit of dark souls where you must learn all the boss moves and animations and properly time your i-frames to survive. Leveling up is hella fun, and so are a lot of the raids. Each of the character classes are great and have their own unique play styles.

That said, the post level 70 grind is pretty terrible, and the RNG enchantment system is garbage.

I quit the game a while back, but they are supposedly going to be raising the level cap to 90 and adding season 3 at some point (it just happened in korea version so probably be 6 months down the road). I'll probably check it out again when that is released.

Also, if you like playing virtual dress-up you will like his game.

Oh yeah, I spent some money on panties as well.
