By the way heres a suggestion, when closed beta starts we turn this into an official vindictus thread.

[Liraiyu]

:\
I'm sad Vindictus seems like a lag-dependent game.
It looks really cool ;-;

[Caim]

Sweet, looks like beta might be right around the corner maybe?

You make it sound like many online games aren't lag-dependent. o_O

You'll get in. Nexon figured that they let in like 500 testers that they choose, then sell to other sites like FilePlanet a bunch of codes that let anyone get in and play. That's what they did with Mabi when it went into CB testing, and I think they did that with DFO (either that or just let everybody that had computers that can run the game, which is pretty much any computer made in the last 10 years). So it's likely that you'll be able to get a code when they come out, unless no one tells you that Vindictus went into CB.

Omg awesome!!

hopefully if i'm too spacey to notice that, i'll at least be here to notice someone announcing it on nation xD
to be honest the game looks interesting, but I still wanna play mabinogi :p

-sets aside a bit of time- i'll save this for Vindictus

[Lie]

Here are the specs for the game. (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/notes/vindictus/system-requirements/115300138496393)

Source engine never fails to impress me with its age.

[Lan]

Woot I'm going to make a Lann named Lan :D

[Osayidan]

So we only can use predefined characters in this? D: *based on the character info of the page*

[Hitaki]

Pi pikachu?

(Where's Pika's Mages and Archers?)

[Chockeh]

Must reserve name's for vindictus & dragonnest :D.

[Arsik]

Predefined and gender-locked. So it'll probably feel more like a 3D Beat 'Em Up than an RPG.

[Chockeh]

Is that only for CB or for the whole game? I tend to not like playing predefined characters. Especially Gender-Locked.

[Arsik]

From what I've seen, the whole game. At least I haven't seen any videos with male magicians running about anyways.

[Chockeh]

Ugh, what happened to Mabinogi's unique no class :/
Well at least I can play out my God of War character :D.

[Raj]

I'm not gonna play...
1. It's kinda brutal - Ehm...
2. The lack of customization >.>
3. 5 GIGABYTES??

I like the graphics though. :]

Oh and
4. Lack of ... Freedom?


Sounds like a good storyline too

[Osayidan]

Yup D: will not be playing.
It had potential but as soon as characters were locked, this game go go screw itself. Had enough of these.

[Baku]

It's character locked because the game's story is about these heroes.
Also, so far the confirmed "classes" are Lann (Dual-Wielder) and Fiona (Shield-User) as you can see on Vindictus' site. There's also Evy (magician-female), Kay (archer-male), and Kalok (2handed blunts). The later 2 have not been released in KR yet, but confirmed to be released at some point.
It'd be weird if nexon released Vindictus without Evy... since Mabinogi Heroes OB already had her... maybe CB didn't I wouldn't know.
I understand how gender locked can be annoying, but it doesn't really bother me that much, it's an action game, not your typical RPG.


As for the person that was wondering about lag-dependency. The game functions via p2p connections, so if you solo: you won't lag at all. And if you party it would depend on the party members.
I partied with korean people and the lag wasn't so bad, and since nexon IP-Blocks the stuff, you'll only be bumping into NA people and you won't lag at all probably. And the occasional proxy user.. but as I said, if I played with KR people with low lag, I'm sure it's going to be fine mostly.

[BobYoMeowMeow]

So you're roleplaying as an actual character

Kitae said that Mabi Heroes is a fun once a while game
not an everytime fun game

[Chockeh]

Was the character lock new? Or from the start of them game? Will it be for the whole game, or just beta? Dx Can you at least still choose to modify your characters appearance?

[Lan]

Lock has always been there. You can however modify their appearance as you see fit, just not their genders or weapon types.

[Chockeh]

Will choosing which character effect the story?

[Lan]

Will choosing which character effect the story?

It shouldn't affect the overall story, but there may or may not be side stories (I leaning towards no)

[Chockeh]

Then I`m leaning to lann, I wanna make a kind of Kratos :D. Hope I can make my char brown though :3

[Lan]

As previously stated, my Lann will be named Lan ^_^

[Kazuni]

Guh, where are the female archers? Owell, guess I'll revert back to female mage like in the old days of maplestory <3.

[Juno]

So basically, each char is limited to one weapon type and only some genders can use some weapon types.

But you can still name yourself w/e and look however you want. Doesn't seem very char locked to me, at least not to the point where it's unbearable.

This. You can dye and customize your stuff as usual, so it's not really locked or like everyone's the same like DFO.

I don't mind gender-restricted classes though.

[Drifter]

Looks fun, and I've seen the customization options and they're pretty beastly. As for the gender lock I don't really mind, as long as I can still pull off awesome moves, I could really care less which gender is the one doing it.

Still looking forward to play this game, ugh OB can't come soon enough

[Baku]

Weapon Types. sort-of.
Lann, has two choices later on, focusing on dual swords, or dual spears.
Fiona can focus on Sword+Shield or Mace+Shield
Evy can focus on Scythe or Staff

_

And yes, there's a good amount of face customization , similar like mabi, and some body customization too (breats, slimness, and I think height... can't remember exactly everything.)

_
Let's also not forget that the game was just recently released, we can't really know what the almighty DevCat may do to improve the game further.
Mabinogi itself has changed A LOT since the original release on korea.
