  Hello Players,
  
  Thank you for providing us with feedback and information regarding your major concerns. Here is a short list of some of the concerns, along with updated information.
  
  
  
  1.) The Gold Issue: Players continue to report that they have not received their lost gold.
  
  Update - This issue has been resolved. Every player who was affected by this was compensated.
  
  
  
  2.) Gold Spamming Issue:
  
  Update: Gold Spam Blocking system has been implemented. While it may not completely block spammers, it will slow them down. We will continue to work on improving this solution.
  
  
  
  3.) Market Place Issue: Players cannot access the marketplace when using a character created with previously deleted name.
  
  Update – The fix will occur with the 12/15 update.
  
  
  
  4.) Lag Issue: Players report experiencing a great deal of lag
  
  Update- The team is going over the data with the developers. We will keep you posted as they continue to investigate.
  
  
  
  5.) Censorship Issue: Players find the chat filter within the game to be too restrictive. The NPCs in the game use words that the players cannot use themselves.
  
  Update- This issue has been resolved and the filter has been updated. Thank you for all the feedback!
  
  
  
  6.) Kick Issue: Players benefiting from dungeons without participating in battle.
  
  Update – No change to this issue. We still need to consider possible side effects.
  
  
  
  7.) Permanent Underarmor- Players have petitioned for Permanent Underarmor.
  
  Update- No additional information available.
  
  
  
  8.) Evie Scythe Marketplace has been resolved and was updated with the last patch.
  
  
  
  9.) Seal of Dedication Bug - Host disconnecting and dropping the mission.
  
  Previous Update- The issue is in the process of being tested and, if everything works out accordingly, we should see this fixed on 12/1/2010. As of 12/1: A few issues were discovered, and therefore this should be fixed in the 12/15 patch.
  
  
  
  10.) Host dropping mission - when a host drops a mission, disconnecting the entire party and results in loss of tokens paid for the mission.
  
  Update- Reviewing information provided.
  
  
  
  11.) Dye Selection- Players would like more control over the dying process in Vindictus. They would like to be able to choose what color they dye their items. If not, they would like to at least be given three chances per dye as it is done in Korea.
  
  Update- This is how the US version of the dye system was designed. Thank you for understanding.
  
  
  
  12.) Multi-Core Rendering - Players question if the multi-core rendering function is working properly.
  
  Update- this issue is under investigation.
  
  
  
  Thank you!
  
  PS. for those of you who are still asking about the Blood Lord and Laghodess, I made the following comment earlier in a different thread:
  
  I just got word that Lagodessa and the Blood lord be released in the near future. I believe some news about Lagodessa will be coming soon........ very very soon. ;)

  
  
  Forum Thread Found Here
  
  ;) Hello Blood Lord and Laghodess, I know a few people that'll scream over that.

  I laughed at this for some reason...
  
  Surprised they're actually giving a crap though, but they don't seem to make any progress.

  Watch them forget again and take another month to implement the fix. ;~;

  The in-game censor is still absolutely terrible.
  
  The gold spam filter is ridiculously terrible.
  
  Perm underarmor's current status: "Update- No additional information available", and dye system's "Update- This is how the US version of the dye system was designed. Thank you for understanding" are just silly. Any good company would have provided some idea the team is currently working on, considering the huge community opinion on those things.
  
  Seals of Dedication breaking OVER AND OVER is just strange. Can it really be so complicated?
  
  "Evie Scythe Marketplace has been resolved and was updated with the last patch", yet my scythe is untradeable. Interesting.
  
  
  Someone made a post recently about how they believe Nexon America's team that is actively working on Vindictus has only around 3 to 5 employees. At first I thought that was a funny suggestion, but seriously, it seems more and more like that is the case.
• Kansi wrote on 2010-12-04 00:40
  Well, at least they're connecting to players via the forum and giving notices. They're not completely ignoring us.

  About that employee thing, there was a picture I think that had around 5-7 people in it labelled as the Vindictus team. Here's the official Nexon link: http://vindictus.nexon.net/News/Content.aspx?boardNo=400&contentNo=008MR There might be more people in the Vindictus section, but most of the coding and debugging is done in Korea I think.
  Also two days ago I bought a Crescent Moon Scythe for 5k and sold my Crimson Blade Scythe via the marketplace.

  Well, I heard that for the dye system in KR you had to pay 3x the current price for 3 tries and that it wasn't until EP6 or so that the price of dying was decreased.
  
  The Depot glitch leads to a direct decrease in their profits, and that is taking them over a month to fix.
  The permanent underwear and hair may or may not increase their profits, how long do you think it'd take them to think about it?

  It's too late for them to make perm underarmor. People can mod now. Game over.

  I'm actually completely fine with the dye system as it currently is. Its just their short response is a little annoying to read, when we all know about the Korean system's current state, they could at least clue us in on whats up with that rather than writing "this is how its designed".
  
  I just feel like there's a bit too much of a mystery around them, while a company that has a TON more problems to deal with, yet still consists of a very small team (Valve's active TF2 team) is able to keep a direct relationship with the customers so tight that its almost TOO tight. In the end, its probably just that the Korean group is "in charge", and Nexon America has to report all changes/ideas to them, leading to a huge delay in every aspect of the game's changes. I dunno.

  Couldn't they easily fix this in the same way that Valve prevents changes to TF2 with "sv_pure" on servers that have it enabled? I'm assuming they'll do this if modding actually gets big.

  IIRC, the model mods don't work after the December 1st update

  Perms back the table
  Inside souces comfirm nexon has killed the mods
• puppypaint wrote on 2010-12-04 02:46
  At least their lameo answers on the dye and perm underwear thing show us they're paying attention to us.
  
  So glad about the censorship filter fix. Gonna go see if I can actually say things like "sucks" and "boobs"! :D
  (Not that two are in any way related. >_> <_<)
• GSDAkatsuki wrote on 2010-12-04 03:33
  Even though there are sv_pure stuff, Nexon shouldn't limit the community to modding. I mean they are using the source engine and it is Valve's. I don't care if I can't use a nude mod but I want to be able to turn off the Goddamn annoying noob undergarments. If they aren't going to make it permanent then they shouldn't stop the community from modding the game.
• Kansi wrote on 2010-12-04 03:40
  Well the thing is they get to decide what they limit the game to and modding the game client that way isn't legal so that's not a real justification.
• Osayidan wrote on 2010-12-04 04:34
  They can't stop it. If a company doesn't want their game moded, don't distribute it.
  On the internet when masses of people want something they will obtain it. It's how it works.
