[hide= Info, big.]

Welcome to Vindictus. This is not your ordinary MMO. You will find no auto-attacks here, no princesses. Hope is lost to the people, but through your efforts they may find it anew.

 

Vindictus is a fast action MMORPG built on Valve's Source engine that offers unprecedented freedom of motion and smooth flowing combat unlike anything ever experienced in a free-to-play MMORPG. Use anything and everything to battle against your foes and work with your allies to fulfill the prophecy and bring Erinn to reality.

Blood spurts from enemies, right where your twin blades sliced. Enemies fall, only to become corpses you can hoist and brandish as sadistic weapons. Watch as walls crumble and whole buildings topple, providing you with new toys in the battlefield. With Source Engine physics and destructible, interactive environments, Vindictus redefines everything you thought you knew about "free-to-play."

 

 

h-party-play.png

 

When a spider three times your height skitters toward you, you'll want one party member to whip a chain around its legs to pin it in place and another to distract it by flinging debris from a nearby pile of rubble, all so you can sneak behind and unleash insane damage with your blade. On the sidelines, your final party member casts healing spells. Dungeons change each time you enter them, so you'll never get bored.

Next, personalize your newly crafted gear with stats via the Enchant system and color via the Dye system. In the end, your character will be clad in gear that's powerful, stylish, and unique. Just be careful when picking your undergarments -- too much fighting can break your gear, revealing what you're wearing underneath!

The air is thick with despair, and the battles never cease. Rain falls, yet the land is barren, as if the earth has been drenched in too much bloodshed to bear fruit. Monstrous creatures lurk in every trench, cave, and valley. To survive, people have huddled together, forming ramshackle towns with high walls. Yet, cowering behind those walls does not guarantee safety...

 

What has become of the outside world? Few people know. Fewer care to find out. As the common folk trudge from one empty day into the next, only one thought keeps them going: the Legend. The Legend will come to pass. The people yearn for it, pray for it. They hope and believe. And because they believe, they know.

 

One day, they will be in Erinn.

 

h-erinn-land-of-paradise.png

 

In this world, there is but one moon, and it shines upon a wasteland where Fomors and beasts roam, hungry to tear flesh from bone. Not so in Erinn. In Erinn, there will be two moons, Eweca and Lateka, and they will shine with the brightness of the gods. There, no one will age or fall ill, and the land will be rich with bountiful resources.

 

It is the dream of Erinn, the paradise promised in the Legend, which fuels humanity in these dark times. The people wait, as they have for countless generations, for the black-winged goddess to come and save them.

 

They wait. Because the Legend is truth. It must be, for it is all they have.

h-fiona.png

Fiona is a balanced warrior who wields a sword and a shield. She values defense, so she uses her shield to protect herself during combat and then strikes strategically when enemies aren't expecting it. She is able to wear heavy armor from the start and later learns to wear plate armor as well.

Fiona comes from the south. She treasures her privacy and boasts a solemn, serious personality, so no one knows how she came to join the Crimson Blade mercenaries. She rarely speaks about her past. Even as people marvel at her combat abilities, they can't help but wonder what secrets she's hiding.

 

 

h-lann.png

 

ehh-vindictus01-1276887717.jpg

 

Lann specializes in dual-wielding weapons, especially swords. His attacks are speedy, and in the battlefield, enemies are left breathless at his seemingly non-stop whirlwind of slashes and thrusts. Because he relies on speed, Lann starts out wearing light armor. As he gets stronger, he learns how to wear heavy armor without impeding his quick movements.

Lann hails from the northwest. He left his hometown when it was destroyed by Fomors and came to Colhen to join the Crimson Blade mercenaries. He stakes his entire identity on his ability to be victorious in battle.

 

 

 

Evie

 

vingolem.jpg

 

Evie is a magic user who can wield a staff or later on in the game, a battle scythe. She can use elemental magic spells as well as control gravity. While weak compared to the other characters, she has a different health/defense system (still weaker then anybody else). Instead of taking damage directly from her health points (HP), it is removed from her shields first. There are five shields that must be broken before any HP is lost.

 

She is weaker in terms of health and strength than any of the other characters, but still plays an important role in a group with her high-powered spells and her ability to conjure Golems from the scenery.

Coming either for closed beta or open beta.

 

Unconfirmed release dates:

 

Karok: A giant who uses large, column-like weapons

 

Kai: A male archer that has a druid like appearance with his armor

 

Customization:

 

There are a total of 5 characters in Vindictus. You can only use those 5 characters (once all are added in), but they can be heavily customized. Each time you create a character the system generates a completely new one in which you can further customize, so no two Fiona's or Lann's will look alike, for example.

 

Transformations:

 

After undergoing a series of quests, a player is able to make a choice whether to become a Paladin or a Dark Knight. Paladins care very much about their comrades, and will be willing to sacrifice themselves to save others.

 

Paladin:

 

Paladin.png

 

Role:

 

A Paladin's role is to support of the party and play as the tank. Once transformed into a Paladin, the user will gain a huge defense boost to help support the user in battle. Also Paladins have a unique ability in which when other party members are about to die, the user is able to self destruct and heal everybody else in the party. Roles can vary depending on each class.

 

Info:

 

To transform into a Paladin, the user will need to use 10 ap and also fill the entire sp gauge in order to transform. Transformation lasts for 2 minutes, and during transformation the user will have unlimited stamina to attack. Their weapons also become augmented with light which will extend the reach for attacks and also increase their attack speed. Once the time is up, the user will transform back into a human and will have all their armor broken.

 

Dark Knight:

 

DK.png

 

Role:

 

A Dark Knight's role is to be the main damage dealer of the party. Once transformed into a Dark Knight, the user will gain a huge attack boost to help deal additional damage to the enemy. Also Dark Knights have a unique ability in which whenever a Dark Knight attacks a monster during the transformation, the hp lost by the monster will go towards and heals the Dark Knight.

 

Info:

 

To transform into a Dark Knight, the user will need to use 10 ap and also fill the entire sp gauge in order to transform. Transformation lasts for 2 minutes, and during transformation the user will have unlimited stamina to attack. Their weapons also become augmented with darkness which will extend the reach for attacks and also increase their attack speed. Once the time is up, the user will transform back into a human and will have all their armor broken.

 

PvP

 

Capture the Flag (aka Capture the Flowerpot)

 

Rules & Goals:

 

To Get your self started in PVP, you have to choose between two teams. Red Or Blue. Each Team has a different starting point and a different placement of the Flag. To score, grab the opponent"s Flag (Its technically a pot but I am gonna call it a flag) and bring it towards your own flag pole. With each scoring of either your team or your opponent"s, the current round will end and it will signal a start of a new one. Scoring the most within the time limit will allow your team to win the game.

 

Balance:

 

To even out the game for all players, your stats, equipment, and weapons will be set according to the PVP system. In note, all skills and effects will be set according to the type of PVP. The necessity for this placement is so that all players can enjoy this brand new type of heroes without complaints. So for our Sub-weapons and potions, we decided to place them in treasure chests around the map for you to find.

 

Rewards:

 

Same as fishing, you will receive the Piglet"s Token (Collect 80 of these for 10 Silver Coins!) for every match. Since this is for fun and games, every player who's willing to participate for a round will be able to enjoy each game since both winners and losers will receive the tokens. More rewarding items will be in future updates.

 

Future Update Content:

 

There will be even more updates for PVP Modes later on. CTF mode will receive a new map to make it even more diverse for this game type. Also, we will be adding in a guild ranking PVP system to challenge your skills and tactic to be able to aim for the top.

 

 

pageheader-things-to-do.png

 

Marketplace:

 

The marketplace is where you buy and sell items with other players. To browse what people are selling or list your own items to sell, head over to the board located between the Forge and the Dock.

 

Selling Items:

 

Click on the "Sell" button that appears under the pig.

A window will pop up. This is where you list your items. Pick the price, quantity, and sale duration of the items you wish to sell.

When you are ready to upload the items into the Marketplace, click "List."

Once the item sells, the money will be sent to your mailbox.

Note: New to the selling game? Don't worry! When you list an item, the game will automatically suggest a price for you.

 

Buying Items:

 

Click on the "Marketplace" button that appears under the pig to open the Marketplace window.

Use the search box at the top left of the window to search for specific items you'd like to purchase. You can also browse items using the category menu below the search box.

Once you've made a purchase, the gold will automatically be deducted from your account. Your purchase will be sent to your mailbox.

Nothing like a package in the mail to brighten your day and motivate you to go out and kick some Fomorian butt!

 

Crafting:

 

In Vindictus all you need to do is gather the materials. The NPC's take care of the crafting, so if you hate spending hours clicking the same button over and over, this is great news for you. If you prefer creating items yourself, then you may see this as a negative. You can also craft multiple items at a time. At higher levels drops are rare and the majority of the equipment you'll get will be through crafting.

 

Fishing System:

 

First, you have to buy (or maybe make? We'll have to wait and see) a fishing pole. Then you can stand on the shore, throw your pole into the ocean, like a shoe, a crate, or a small barrel or, with luck, an ABNORMALLY HUGE FISH that's two thirds as tall as you on average. Then you have to de-equip the fishing pole and beat the fish–which will try to attack with its tail fin–to death with either a weapon or your bare hands. Once it's dead, you can carry it around and toss it 20 yards away into a campfire.

This game is pretty fun, it's in open beta at the moment and worth a spin.

Played closed beta, had fun for a few days, quit when I realized I pretty much had done what the game had to offer.

 

A significant lack of content in the NA version not to mention no PvP yet (IIRC) and a very small amount of classes made it fairly meh for me. Also it's a pretty loose definition of an MMO considering you're spending 100% of your gametime in an instance (like Guild Wars).

I'm playing it right now in open beta. Fairly decent game, though the KR version gets updated like 6 months before the English one. Also, for your fishing section, most people fish with harpoons, as fishing rods cost NX. And Evie's not coming soon, she's already released.

That's Nexon for you. Easily one of the worst devs out there.

 

Though Vindictus is pretty fun.

How is it an MMORPG if the classes are named individuals?

Retired

2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes

 

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

The names are more like character classes, really. Each character generated can look different, and have different weapons and etc.

 

It was either this or the typical "Warrior, mage, rogue, paladin, etc". Which system is better is up for debate, but it's not like it really matters.
