Vindictus - action mmo

Justin Meisse

Played this today at lunch and it was pretty fun, heavily instanced so maybe I should call it a MORPG, sort of like Guild Wars but with a console action feel to it.

It's in Beta but keys are spreading out fast, every person who registers a beta key gets two to give away.

ZacD

I wanna try it out, if anyone has a key I'll give ya both keys I get.

BlackulaDZ

I played this almost literally all day yesterday. it's hella fun, although as you said, heavily instanced like guild wars. It's kind of like demons souls + guild wars + dynasty warriors.

aesir

This is a free to play game right?

Martin Henriksson

The gameplay looks fun but that has to be some of the worst writing ever!

BlackulaDZ

yep it's free, currently its in like an "Early release" close beta kind of deal

XenoKratios

Ahhh Mabinogy Heroes finally makes an appearance. I was looking forward to this game for sooo long, but I'm not sure my current rig can run it .

I think this Christmas I'm getting a monitor and video card, so baby lets make love.

Oh and don't mind this guy's voice/what he said much. Very veryy annoying!

Every time I see another 'action MMO' I become just a bit more bitter about my internet connection....

So does it play well?

It's 4 people in an instanced dungeon... similar to Monster Hunter actually, each instance is a series of interconnected pockets.

Ahh, snuck that one in while I was waiting for the page to load. The game looks interesting, but I'm not sure if my wonderful 'mobile broadband' connection would be able to handle it.

Zpanzer

Do you need a key to play this game or is it open beta?

Wells

you need a beta key

gave mine to meisse, i'm all out

haiddasalami

Time to bug my friends :P

HonkyPunch

it's pretty fun choke slamming a goblin into a group of it's friends.
also chucking spears through people's faces and shit.
It's a good game.
I will have to play with my monster hunter friend.

I've been waiting to see how this would turn out for a while, anyone got a beta key left?

Martin Henriksson

Yeah, totally interessted in this game if anyone has a spare key! ;D

Purplepaint

Damn, i wish i would of seen this post earliar, i gave away my two spare keys last night(posted em right on my Facebook for everyone to see), the game is definately a welcomed changed, the first few battles however feel a little repetitive but it is expected in a mmo.


Edit: forgot to mention, grabbing monsters throwing em to the ground and punching them out till they die is fun.

venain

highly interested in this game, been trying to score a key from their official forums, but haven't had any luck so far.

HntrLuc

Some european friends are playing the game using Aol. It should has appeared in europe aswell, i have been following the development of this title since its first days :S and it's frustrating to use tricks to play in USA servers.

BTW, i'm surprised to see people liking asian games here, i'm customed to see haters XD

The fatigue system is a really great plus for this game imho.

Thanks guys. I got keys from two different people, so here's the leftover one & the two new keys:

The game is pretty fun so far. Problem is, every time I try to join a party it lags so unbelievably much it's 100% unplayable, so it's really just a single-player action RPG for me right now.

But the combat is fun enough to keep my interest so far. It's like... the meatiness of Demon's Souls crossed with the casualness of Dynasty Warriors. I haven't tried pumping up the difficult yet, though.

achillesian

kinda boring, only 2 classes, 75% of the fun is source physics, so you could play dark messiah (hack and slash rpg for source engine) and get pretty much the same experience. The character designs and graphics are nice, but almost all of the asian mmo's tackle that well. Doesnt seem to be alot of depth so far. It also moves a little fast for my taste, if i'm in a group i like those groups to require communication of some kind, because ultimately mmos are about interaction between players, and 4 people jamming on the left mouse button until something dies, doesnt quite cut it for me.

tera online is the one to watch, and i can't fucking wait

bounchfx

just finished installing, friend gave me a key. looks pretty interesting. gonna give it a shot tomorrow when I wake up.

BlackulaDZ

I'd post my key but i already gave em away
have a screenshot.

picked up a pumpkin, lagged, and ended up with a pitchfork

Blaizer

My brother is playing the game with aol, and i must say i like it a lot, although it can be very repetitive.

Want more games like this one?

Dragon Nest is pretty cool, and C9 is better for me compared to mabinogi heroes (Vindictus). Anyways, is a good game to play with, in a casual way.

ZacD

I was surprised how good the spider looked from a distance and how bad it looked closed up.

Thanks Zpanzer!

Neat game so far, but I am that the 'Go to town' option with the oracle girl in my room didn't work how I wanted.

XenoKratios

Sorry to bump this but I downloaded this yesterday (Finally!).

Playing with my buddy back home and it's just too much fun!

It also has a multicore option like TF2, the benefits of the Valve's engine .

Lord McMutton

I'm waiting for them to introduce the heavy character.

XenoKratios

There's an update tonight, but I watched a video of the update (I think). They're adding some new items and events and stuff.

No Heavy dude yet , probably released in Japan though?

TortillaChips

I missed this topic, it says it's offline on the site. Is it only playable at certain times of the day or is it because of the update? Looks like it could be good, but is there any dialogue/story?
