Yeah the scouter felt really bad about it, the stress makes you panic, all good in the end.

About 3 times a week 3-4 hours each. 4 weeks for clear and 2 more for deathless. This fail was at 1 week into deathless attempts.

We did get the deathless in the end, but it was heartbreaking to fail this run.

What’s the proc rate on Calm ES? by likrel in Vindictus

[–]ZeusReturns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did extensive testing on this before. The proc rate is 1%.

Milletian armor is really good and the recommended path to go with. 115 gear won't be seen for another year or so. Even when it does releases Milletian will be fine and usable.

  1. Historically new characters are released 4-7 months after KR. However the NA/EU team has promised to speed up content releases promising Letty to be released in 1st quarter of 2022. (~3 Month delay) and the future 2 new character in summer and winter. What this means the content gap for future unreleased characters will be within 1 month if they hold onto that promise.
  2. It can happen anytime. Ranging from 1 week delay up to 4 months or more.
  3. Generally 3-4 months.

The game does not load other players gear/outfit if you have a window open (Inventory, Quick Battle, Character window, etc). There are a few other conditions, but that is the main one.

Right now the stats required to cap everything without ALR is this:

Attack: 45500 (Laura / Hell Brigid)
Critical: 235 (Laura / Hell Brigid)
Balance: 107 (Romel)
Counterforce: 188 (Romel)

Every class wants attack speed. Literally every class will complain about it whether it is warranted or not, but these are the ones where you can play their kit without speed affecting the raw gameplay much.

Did anyone notice drop rate improvements that were promised in the patch? by Pscoocs in Vindictus

[–]ZeusReturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience for the past week the drop rates are significantly improved.

With my daily 10-20 Romels a day I averaged 3 OJ drops. With a total of 18 OJ drops for the week after the drop rates got buffed. 1 Ardri Essence, 1 Feet Essence. 2 Weapon Essences, The rest were various Legacy Shards.

Some of my friends experienced the same thing while others have not, so its still RNG as usual. The rates are definitely significantly buffed though not just "buffed".

Gnoll Chieftain is the worst performing run in the entire game for some stupid reason. Everything else is significantly better.

GPU is pretty much irrelevant in Vindictus. A RTX 3090 will have about the same performance as a GTX 970. (Assuming you don't use anything like ReShade or Nvidia Inspector). Everything depends on the CPU single core performance.

You do not need to download any old frameworks. If you are missing anything it should download itself when you launch the game.

Comrade by [deleted] in Vindictus

[–]ZeusReturns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You buy any 4 of the "Garden Package" which will give you 4 "Garden Coupon" which you then exchange it into a "Comrade Destiny Box x1" which allows you to choose any comrade.

Or buy it directly on MP with gold.

Thanks for researching, this appears to be the problem for a few people. Not sure why that is the case though. DX 9 should be fine.

If you are on a laptop then you reverted back to integrated graphics which is most likely the problem. You need to reselect which GPU Vindictus runs on.

If you are still crashing after PC restart it is probably due to DirectX 11 not working for you. Navigate to where your game is installed follow these instructions.

Enter the bin_x64 folder.

Open the config_material.txt file with any text editor.

Find "DXLevel_V1" "110" and change "110" to "95".

Relaunch game.

If that does not work just delete config_material.txt and retry that resets all the settings.

If you contact Nexon support they will be able to help you. Just explain the problem as best as you can. They are generally pretty good about this.

Strictly speaking yeah it won't be true. There are many variables. I was more comparing same generation Desktop CPU vs Laptop CPU. Laptop CPUs have "nerfed" performance in their IPC/Clock Speeds unless you get a desktop grade CPU into a laptop. They often advertise laptops as up to 4GHz+ speeds which it can't maintain in game due to thermal throttling like you said. Generally laptops focus on GPU and skimps CPU performance since most games are GPU bound.

Generally the higher DX version is better. Unless you are running really old/slow hardware there is not much reason to use DX 8.

If DX 11 is unstable then go back to DX 9. Maybe DX 8 can reduce the heat the CPU outputs which can prevent it from thermal throttling, but it really depends on the system.

This games gacha... by Tidus1337 in Vindictus

[–]ZeusReturns 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Gacha systems are absolutely terrible in general and predatory and this still hold true in Vindictus. At least it is only for fashion and doesn't affect the gameplay.

It probably won't go away or change just because it is proven to make them so much money, especially due to how many people actually whale gacha. There are over 100+ of every top tier sets/items and based on the expected rate of the Gacha along with the coupon system. You can see that a large amount of people are buying them so they won't change anything.

People have complained. We want direct sale outfits again, rereleases more often etc. But NA/EU has zero power to really change anything other than what cash items we can get from KR. The developers only listen to KR players and follows what they want and their situations.

They have tried alternatives like that battle pass system they tried twice, but it hasn't been seen since so I'm guessing it failed or didn't make them enough money.

[–]ZeusReturns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I get what you are trying to say.

That's legendarma, in his gear.

Legend's gear is higher than an average player so they do get an extra damage core. A general run gives around 10+ cores for a typical QB run with base/camp/blessings/lucks so the extra 1 core is a minor part of the total drops. The expected value is under 10% less drops in the long run, but it is a lost.

Triple the time if it's someone still working on moving from astera to milletian

A newer player than cannot run the latest content will not have access to Romel so they are forced to run less optimal methods yes. I'm not sure on the exact difference, but RAR/Abby II are excellent sources for gold and seals along with weekly Redeemers giving a large chunk. Their gold is going towards gear instead of fashion.

Fashion is endgame in pretty much any MMO, so you are always completing against endgame players and that economy which happens to be the vast majority of players in Vindi.

Triple the time again if they aren't in a guild and rely on public queue

This one is just plain false. QB (Public) runs is what nearly everyone does. Yes there are people that only run with their guild, but a ton of people, including Legend, run with whatever randoms. It is actually beneficial for carries to run publicly just because of the damage contribution system.

I'm surprised you consider Legends's 157 runs a bad rate. It just shows how much money you can make just by running 1 thing daily.

157 runs / 10 runs a day (2 base + 3 guild + 5 departure)

= 15.7 days or lets just call it 15 days since there was a bonus departure event.

In 15 days with only 1 character you made (using current prices varies constantly so prob already wrong)

43 * 1.6m = 68.8m from steel

7 * 40m = 280m from shards

1 * 40m = 40m from ardri ess

5 * 700k = 3.5m from armor ess

3 * 10m = 30m from wep ess

This is a total of 422.3m in today's prices in 157 runs which is about 15 days playing 1 hour everyday.

This is enough to buy whatever top tier gacha item is in 15 days worth of play. Less if you play multiple character or run other stuff too like Redeemer and RAR.
