My experience with joining random groups has been hit or miss, but not because of the players themselves. If a boat is open to anybody there are a plethora of quick join buttons to find a specific Battle and people waiting for a party. Players can choose to attack a Battle solo, make the instance private to friends, or allow anybody to join before the boat launches to the dungeon. There are also various modes of difficulty for each Battle, similar to Dungeons and Dragons Online’s difficulty settings.Īlso at the dungeon menu screen, party options are available. Battles change the formula of the dungeon with length, enemy makeup, difficulty, and most notably bosses as the variables. Each dungeon, such as Perilous Ruins, will have a handful of Battles. At the docks, players are given a menu of options to launch a boat to one of the dungeon instances. There is a single town instance (with multiple districts ala Guild Wars) with all the shops and quest givers, which leads to the docks.
For the world itself it feels mostly like Guild Wars or Dungeons and Dragons Online. standpoint it already loses points in that direction because it plays like an bash-em-up action game instead of the fight-a-single-enemy, skill rotation tacticality of World of Warcraft or Lord of the Rings Online. There is unfortunately still some discussion on whether this game is an MMO. The combat is really intense, and often times I found myself facing four enemies ready to be ginsu’d by my double-blades. buttons thrown in for a little more combat variety. Then there are throw, kick, rush, sprint, etc. The two mouse buttons give a light attack and a heavy attack respectively, and by pressing the light attack one to four times followed by the heavy attack, a combo will ensue. Skills are more akin to something out of a God of War button combination than the usual skill bar set up found in most MMOs. The gameplay of Vindictus is very action oriented. The Source engine also brings some really nice graphics, and I’ve been hearing it looks pretty good on older computers.
You see, “just about everything” also applies to turning all of the above in to temporary weapons. Bosses break down pillars with abandon, pottery becomes pinatas, and there is something really gratifying about picking up a 4×4 wood beam and bashing it across multiple enemies. fame, and the destructability truly shines through the games physics engine. Vindictus is built on the Source engine from Half-Life 2 et al. It was a very balanced gaming weekend filled with creating cliffside overlooks and aquaducts in Minecraft and destroying just about everything in free-to-play Vindictus.Īnd when I say “just about everything,” I mean it.
Of course then Minecraft became a free-to-play weekend, but I am happy to support the indie dev making the game.
#Vindictus private server taken down Patch#
I also laughably bought Minecraft on Friday mere moments before the servers crashed due to patch day overload. I, and just about everybody who wanted one, received a beta key for the Vindictus NA beta event going on until early October (the game is live in Korea).
