I'm level 47 now, and I still haven't finished that quest. I figured it wasn't even worth it.

Edit: Also, for anyone who cares, Nexon are uploading the images for the Vindictus Fighting Form Event to their facebook. Not all the images are up yet though. I figured we could try and help each other by posting a link to our image once it shows up and "Like"-ing it.

Edit: Here's a link to my entry

Wow.

I just bought the ice.

In some of the later missions (I'm 61 now) ice crystals drop pretty much like mad. I have about 9 kicking around in my inventory to give to friends to finish that quest

[placeboing]

Yeah I have a ridiculous amount of ice crystals, I don't even think they're worth too much anymore. That quest was really annoying when the level cap was still 44 and ice crystals were super expensive, but now you can just buy them all.

[slayer20]

This is ridiculous! The top two right now are some guy who looks like Jack Sparrow and Iron Man.

There are a lot of other great ones in there. I can't believe those two are winning...

Edit: The Iron Man guy has 160 votes and Jack has like 90 votes.

Mine only has 9 :(

Anyone completed Boat 6 (Fomorian Base) and know what it's like?

[MastrCombine]

Boat 6 is pretty easy overall. A lot of the bosses in that episode have fairly long delays between attacks. The only annoying thing is sometimes when you hit a trash monster, its attack still goes through and hits you.

[Ducluck7]

I know this is late, but is it possible to still do this? If so how, or is there a download?

[placeboing]

OK, I found out that some of my Vindictus items are worth millions, so I have enough to buy your TF2 hats again!

1 non vintage, craftable TF2 hat = 1 million Vindictus gold for you!
1 vintage hat = 1.6 mil.
I've done trades with 3 people so far, 2 of them Facepunchers.
I'll send the gold first if you are a regular Facepunch poster.

Send me a PM if you're interested.

Hmm...

Vindictus' folder structure is set up just like any other Valve game. I would imagine that you create the folder Materials and Models and then figure out what the name of whatever model it is you're replacing and do some fancy model replacement.

So do you guys play on East or West?

West coast here.

Also does anybody know about the new golem mastery rankings? I notice it no longer says it's maxed at rank A, but there's no marker for what story I need to complete to continue leveling it. It just says you need to complete story:<blank> to continue leveling this. It might just be that I need to be a higher level, but I'm 61 almost 62... so that'd be a bit silly

Just finished it - it's pretty good. There's some bosses that aren't melee, and an ACTUAL HONEST TO GOD CUTSCENE with voiced characters.

[placeboing]

Boat 6 = Black Hammer?
Finished it when it first came out. Some of the battles are fun, the new enemies are kinda neat, the bosses are fairly interesting (mainly Black Hammer).

Unfortunately it uses the same old formula of "4 stages of random nonthreatening trash mobs to speedrun through, final stage = boss" on almost everything, aside from the dungeons where perhaps an easy miniboss or two are thrown into the mix.

Also the Black Hammer cutscene is the worst thing ever, and if you don't hit Esc to skip it, everyone will hate you.

Oh, and all the levels are just copy-paste of one of the earlier boats, with a bit of a color change and run in a different order.

So don't expect much.

Err... if you're playing the missions that can be solo'd on hard on normal mode with 3 other people it's nobody's fault but your own that it's boring. The enemies are pretty threatening in fomor base, they're determined to hit you and most of them can kill me in 4-5 hits once my mana shield is out. Still, I've managed to solo most of the missions on hard including the one with vehemence in it.

And yeah most (not all though) of the areas in the base copy pasted, which is annoying but there's a bunch of new level styles right after fomorian base so I don't really mind. That and it's part of the story line - the fomorian base is inside the prarie (which is what it looks like).

[MaGnUm]

The new one (Ortel Castle) is actually quite well done... It has many new map mechanics including new traps, balliste, and multiple routes to complete a map segment. Its getting better imo.

I haven't played that boat since when it first came out, I still had Temptress armor, and was just at their level requirement. I soloed all of the missions too, only doing one attempt each. I had no trouble with any of them aside from Vehemence and Black Hammer.

The problem is that the pre-boss areas are way too simple even solo, and I don't enjoy soloing NEARLY as much as playing with others. Seeing their loadouts and armor, communicating, possibly saving them at times, playing with others makes this game so much more fun for me. And that's where the problem is... when playing with others, the pre-boss areas are just "kick the crap out of everything within 5 seconds of them spawning".

You stated exactly why I am annoyed with the latest updates. When playing with a group, we still are just kicking the crap out of everything until the boss. The pre-boss areas are simply time-wasters. I was fine with this back when all that was released was up to Boat 3, and everyone was still dreaming of what the game had in store for us in future updates. But this far into the game's development, it really disappoints me that more creativity isn't put into the level design. And when I need to re-run a mission for a certain drop or for more BP, that's just a slap in the face at this point. Especially when that mission uses stages of levels that we've already seen in previous missions from the same boat, and when those missions copied the levels from the Prairie levels... the double-copying just pushed me past the limit.

I just want to see some more creativity. This game is a great free-to-play game, it has SO much potential, and its cash shop really doesn't interfere with a free player's experience at all. I WANT to still like this game, and that's why I get so annoyed with it. Unless I see something mind-blowingly awesome that comes after the Sewers, I can't even get through the sewers. Each sewer mission is the same damn thing as before.

[DilemmaMan]

Any updates on EU?

[Kogitsune]

Just got to level 50 and decided to futz about in Hero mode waiting for the hour to turn for transformation and getting to level 52 for plot quests.

So I decided Hero mode on Friends? would be a good idea. Dear lord I have never used Whirlwind that often - 10 times before I was done.

This is going to make dailies far more interesting.

I actually took a vid but it isn't very good because all we were doing was just running around in circles since the host killed the boss in 1 hit somehow

What level?

Glitch boat or what..

[MastrCombine]

They're console commands accessed through hacks.

[placeboing]

Yeah. It's typically a good idea to leave the party before it launches if you see people hacking (if you care about your account), but at the same time its pretty hilarious.

[Errorproxy]

Hacks?..

Hacks for gender mix ups?

I approve of this hack.

[placeboing]

Yeah, they've been doing stuff like this for a while. Its just console commands I think, but of course you aren't supposed to be able to access the console in Vindictus. The problem is that when Nexon bans for it, they often ban people that were in the dungeon and did nothing (at least, this is what you constantly see people complaining about on the forum).

Here's an old one, someone might have posted it already... it made me laugh

That ain't hacks. Someone hauled Gmod into the game.

But yes, that's highly disturbing. Although maybe the giant breasted giantess Evie wasn't as much... but still.

I haven't played since closed beta. Did the closed beta guys get anything special?
