Sadly the game is Pay2Win. I've reached the endgame and realized that I will have to pay to get better, in a dead game. I used to play this game back in the old days before it came on steam. I used to love it. But now, It got waaaaayyyyy too easy to level up and the dungeons boss are literally one hit kill, until you hit end game level. (80 - 100). Yeah they do some updates each week or two. But the game is literally P2W. It always stayed P2W, wtf....(Just take a look at the CASH SHOP) The game is fun don't get me wrong. But if the endgame is going to be P2W, why would you play it. What matters in this game is the Endgame content and not the start. If you are not strong enough at endgame well you will get kicked from the party, nobody is going to carry you and even if they do you will still need to put money to get better at this game. You are free to try it. I dare you tell me otherwise.

Vindictus is a great game and it's battles are always fun and with the new upcoming season 4. I'm excited to see what they come up with. I've been playing without spending any rl money on the game. They've also raised the max level. I've also had friends who are stronger then me that are always happy to help me with stories. I guess being nice towards other people, always pays out at the end. Cause I've always had people willing to carry me or help me in a battle. I've been part of Vin for years and I plan to stay with it. Their new raids for Season 4 are so far beautiful and sad for the first battle due to who we have to fight. I agree with matej959, people are lazy they try it for a little bit then give up without really giving the game a try. It's really not that hard of a game to get into when given a chance.

I think people just need to try the game out for themselves instead of reading negative reviews and thinking it's a bad game. Based off one person's option.

What kind of p2w has non-targeting combat? I mean how would they even ensure that their whales will win when they have to actually learn and practice to perform in combat?

wtf are these comments these days ... game give u option to go ez way or hard way , u can get all in game except cosmetics. it takes some times but what' the point of game dat end in couple of days or 2 weeks . ppl are lazy this day , no1 stand and farm for like 1 or 2 h to get some drop to advance . try harder dont just whine and ruin game , also no1 get kicked from party bcuz of low gear , cuz i saw it with my own eyes i got into guild and got carried many times until i was able to stand on my own also i came back after 3 years . Grind and u will have it , it's grindfest but u can keep up with others. game also ask for skill in action combat and it's not for brain dead ppl.

thanks. skipping this one.

for me p2w means: any system where a player can purchase something that is not superficial or cosmetic.

real money -> In-game benefits. that simple.

best thing to do is to compare to the biggest titles in the same genre. lets say WoW for example. they sell only services and cosmetics. strictly nothing to help you in game.

I agree the game has become easier and they should fix that (and increase the rewards in the process). But the game is not Pay2Win. Not only is the game PvE and not PvP, but also I'm able to participate in all raids including lvl 100 raids, doing above average damage everytime, and I haven't spent a dime in weapons or armor.

This review has a little bit of harsh criticism and this is the reason i think why. being your a veteran you should know the ease of access cash items were always a thing since inception, they didn't hide it and they never lied about not wanting to go that route, so people knew what they were getting into.

"P2W" assumes that there's absolutely no progression without paying, not true, you can get anywhere in the game without them, it's just faster and easier buying "no risk" cash items.

Your easy early and mid game statement is countered by your endgame claim, you dislike the easy difficulty til you reach endgame then claim it's "P2W" is it the challenge or jealousy of faster progression, they aren't using anything that you can't earn yourself over time, put that effort into striving for your perfect end game char, isn't it always better to be able to say, yea i earned this through hard work, grinding, and determination without needing to throw my money around?

>pay to get better

You don't have to "pay to get better" lol. It's just more of a leeway for yourself. Which in general, sucks donkey ass. At the end of the game, just ask whales to carry as usual lel. It's more crazy to me someone would stay outside just to look pretty vs a whale.

Great review mate. Game is completely devoid of soul compared to the early days.

Think before you attack someone. Just because you have Autism doesnt give you the right to insult others. Think before you speak (not my friend btw) a friend don't attack hes friend
