So was it a "scare" or did you get hacked?

GL getting in touch with Nexon if you did though, they don't give a flying frak. I contacted them... 8 months ago about my account being compromised and haven't gotten a word back other than their automated message, "Unfortunately, we are continuing to experience a high ticket volume at this time."

I'm honestly never expecting a real reply to my ticket, and after this I'll never play or buy anything from Nexon. Was totally about to drop some cash for some bag slots too...

I got hacked too. They took all my gold (5mil, is that worth anything?) and some select items. Any chance of coming back are now over.

Seeing as characters were gone at all and there's usually a week-ish delay tied to deleting characters, I figured something was up. Everything reappeared an hour later.

I had a support ticket in for at least 8 months before from when my account actually was broken into. Had to send another ticket in complaining that it was just email alert spam at some point and they finally took care of it (not getting my actual stuff back, of course)

NIMBLE DASH!!!!!!!

I love the re-balance. I was in a Controlled Black Hammer Raid and got top damage. But here's the thing, I was lagging like crazy for a few minutes, and managed to die twice in it. I didn't even use Trans, but other players did. Yet even with all that shit, I got top damage.

Also did a Colru run without dying.

Looks like I'll just make a Kai and never play it again :p

Was going to do Kai then realized it's actually a class I'd want to play through someday. Started up a Fiona here, seems like a good class to gamepad with.

Curious if their plan is just to get a large chunk of high level players so they can drop season 2.

Made a Lann for the level rush event. Did the pact quest, chose Paladin. Now I feel bad and dont want to play anymore.

Nexon should really give you one more chance to change just in case you didn't like your choice after making it. Especially in a game where they force you to go through 40 levels.

Yeah, I did go the path of the transformation I liked at the time but that didn't serve me well now i want my Lann that's a dark knight.

I would create a new character but the cash to get that gear at level 50 is beyond reach

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Where do you go to choose path of transformation? I have a 19 Lann, but I made a Kai for the level rush, and I'm curious where I can do that.

Quick impressions

Only seeing server options for US East/West and Australia

Ferry to get there is at the docks at colhen
2000g for express or 5 minute wait (lol)

New quests have different selectable ranges for levels (8-29, 30-49, 50-69, etc)
Quest rewards are still aimed at lower tiers no matter the range you start at (5k exp doing a quest at 50-69). Fine for now with the bonus exp event going on
At least at the start, a lot more forced post-quest NPC scenes

Levels have ledges you can climb on now with a climbing prompt

No swinging cameras in empty rooms for new buildings, stores just overlay when you go up and talk to NPCs

New title screen, new character selection as well
s21qjqjv.jpg


Docking area for malina
s22l4q5o.jpg


New character creation selection. Vella's assets clearly in, probably just waiting to flip a switch

Flying dudes, didn't catch if melee attacks hit em

Primer for the two new dungeons since they don't explain it real well

Quests are still received from NPCs, started up like usual when creating a party, and play out in the normal linear way
Quests disappear from your create screen after you've completed them (can still join specific quests from other people)

You can create a party to load into the dungeon as a whole now (much simpler for grinding)
Hotkey for the map is H

SKTij.jpg


All bosses will be available to fight and are always in the same set locations
Have to clear all the enemies in a section to move to the next one as long as it's attached

Bosses drop 'treasure maps' that indicate a treasure is now available and pop up an icon on the map for where it is
The treasure drops a single piece of loot per party member, prf is pretty common
Bosses don't respawn when revisiting an area, enemies do

Hitting the 'Ending battle' button drops you out but first shows the normal results screen even if you aren't host and leave first
Party members can drop out anytime they want without penalty

Trials of Macha are per area short timed challenges now that aren't selected beforehand
Common one is just to kill all the enemies within a set amount of time

A 'relic' will drop from enemies sometimes and are brought to the Altar (Altar icon in D section from above)
Just needs someone carrying it before moving to the next section for it to carry over

Looks like the Steam store has added items to directly buy stuff from the depot
http://store.steampowered.com/dlc/212160/

Dazzle Em Dead Pack 50% off
Inner armor and hair
$5.99

Permanent Storage x3 upgrade 50% off

Snake boss is really easy after learning what to do. Kraken on the other hand sounds like a nightmare, reading up guides and it seems teamwork is a must.

Anyone on GAF still playing Vindictus? I just recently started playing because it finally got an Australian release. Trying out Lann, but I'm not very far along atm, really enjoying the gameplay though.
