Token Planning Guide

I'm hoping they don't go with the original system and increase the token respawn rate in order to get more players.

After all, KR Mabi used to have a 2hour/day limit, but NA didn't implement it and it was eventually trashed even in KR. NA might take a similar view to the dungeoning restriction in Vindi. After all, people would be more inclined to play more if they could spam dungeons more and thus, spend more money on NX.

More + more + more = more profit to Nexon.

Problem with this is Platinum Tokens. If Nexon implements this token system into Official Launch, then there would be no point in Platinum Tokens, meaning less money from players because they only spend the occasional buck on new looks. Honestly, while players may not like it, but from a business stand point, having the Silver Tokens reset every hour while people play now will make people say, "Oh, I can spam dungeons all day, so I can grind to my hearts content." And then, when Official comes, and with it the intended Token System, players that were so used to dungeoning all day will get antsy when they can't do so, so they'll shell out money to buy Platinum Tokens to be able to continue grinding.

And besides, people don't like the Fatigue System that DFO has, and I didn't see Nexon take that out, because of it turning players away from the game because of limited grinding time.

Well, people can still spam dungeons all day even if the system is implemented. All they need is 7-8 characters.

But how many people do you know would want to play on multiple characters instead of focusing on their main? :p

All they have to do is make multiple characters their main =x
Or, they could farm mats, and send them to their main

Running dungeons all day isnt all there is to do in vindictus. o-o
You might spend some time in pvp/fishing.

If you wanna play all the chars but still have one main then you can just make alts and play on them for fun or for farming. Either way you can still concentrate on having a main. Once you run out of tokens on em but still wanna play, just go work on your other chars. Not hard, I do it all the time and quite enjoy playing with varied styles

I would like the tokens to be less frequent than they are now, but I think twice a week reset is just ugly.

Hopefully NA will get them daily or Bi-daily

Or even if it balanced out more like 4/3 rather than 5/2.

It is 4/3. It resets on Monday morning and Friday morning.

And for the solution, buy skeleton keys for a chance at red tau potion now to replenish your grind time!

Wow, only 8 dungeons a day or so? If I do 5 minute Polar Bear runs, I can barely only play less than a hour of Vindictus.

Well, you wont' be doing 5 minute runs later on
Some raids can last up till 20 minutes

That's still only about 4hours a day, and stretching the time is pointless, I'm sure you can do it faster than 20minutes too, there's always some way of speeding it up. I've done quite a few 3minute polar bear rungs, still haven't broken 3minutes though.

Mammoth Raid Speed Run:

Took 18 minutes, and that's with a very good party.
Normal runs take up to an hour.

Honestly If anything I hope they implement it to be 50 tokens once a day. Its not such a drag then and it should still get players to buy platinum tokens at that right. Either way honestly even if it goes in that rotation I can live with it really. Its not as bad as people make it to be. I mean its literally an hour doing 4 minute bear runs now due to extra factors and all with 4 tokens being charged.

Why IS there a token system? Why can't we just run dungeons as we please? We can do that in Mabinogi, for example, and since when was that a problem?

Honestly, even though I haven't hit the token limit yet (well I've come close but still)... Knowing that it's there is really annoying. I'm glad I've already finished the Hoarfrost Hollow quests, but the 3rd boat will surely have the same system and I wouldn't be surprised if later dungeons had the same system as well.

Every boat other than perilous ruins uses tokens.

Only 4 hours a day... O__O
Just how long do you play per day D:

There is a way to farm tokens easily, but it requires getting someone to willingly kill themselves while running perilous ruins and using phoenix feathers on them to get seals of dedication which can be turned in for tokens. It doesn't really come in handy unless you plan on spam white tyrant with a large group of ppl a crap load of times.
