New Raid Battle is here and so is Additional Departure!

New Raid Battle Additional Departure +1 during the Event period!

Hello! This is the Vindictus team. 

Today we would like to introduce our new raid, "Sidhe Palace." 
You can depart for Sidhe Palace in Toward Taratha, through the Sen Mag Forest region. 

The hero's party explores deeper into those woods following Seanna, who experienced a prophetic vision. 
As they emerge the party discovers Sidhe Palace, the resting place of an incarcerated king who spent the final years of his life alone. 
Entering a garden full of red roses, the hero encounters the new master of this previously abandoned palace. 
Bres is the commander of a vampire army... and revels in sadistic slaughter. 
With powerful attacks harnessing blood, Bres intends to force the party into a desperate situation. 


<Bres encounters the heroes in the garden.>

Bres brandishes a long, thin sword and threatens the hero with beautiful, elegant movements. 

After underestimating the strength of these interlopers, Bres conducts a symphony of bloodshed. She shows her true colors as the battle grows fiercer. 


<Bres attacks elegantly, while hiding her brutal nature.>

At the midway point of the battle, Bres uses her own blood to make even more powerful attacks. 
If hit by these and "Excessive Bleeding" is triggered, you take damage over time for a set duration, and enter into exhaustion more rapidly. 
However, if Bres fails to connect with multiple blood attacks, her stance will temporarily falter due to shedding too much of her own blood. 


<Bres makes a powerful attack using her own blood.> 

Bres is also capable of absorbing blood from the roses blooming in her garden, and when she absorbs enough, she makes a very powerful attack that covers the entire area. 


<Bres attempts to make a powerful attack by summoning roses.>

Be careful when her eyes start glowing in the middle of the battle. 
When hit by Bres's red orbs, all of your HP will be absorbed, and you will be incapacitated. These must be dodged or blocked.  


<Bres absorbing HP.>

The Season 4 Episode 8 raid, Sidhe Palace, will be live soon. 
As always, we will do our best to provide you with a great gaming experience. 
Thank you for your support of Vindictus!

Developer's Notes:
We've nerfed the health of the boss monsters in the above battles (which are the first party-recommended raids you'll experience as you level up) because we feel they're a bit too difficult.

We considered reducing boss damage directly or adjusting some of the more difficult patterns, such as instant kills, but we were concerned that these battles would lose their risk and thrill, when they are still being enjoyed by players who are already familiar with the combat. 

So, we've adjusted the DEF effect of Goddess's Guidance for players who are not yet familiar with each encounter, to make it a little easier for them to adjust to the party recommended raids. We'll continue to monitor the difficulty of these battles for new players to ensure that they're at an appropriate level. 

• Using the Skill Reset/Reset Capsule will now change the target skill to the state it was in before training.
  > Gold spent on skill training will not be refunded.
  > Skills provided upon character creation cannot be converted back to the previous state before training.
  > The following are the skill types that cannot be converted back to the previous state before training.
  - (All Characters - Common) Mastery skills, Meditation, Fishing
  - (Lann) Fanning Slash, Fury Infusion
  - (Fiona): Smash: Ivy Sweep
  - (Evie) Alchemy: Mercury Trap
  - (Karok) Boss Bash 
  * Eligible Items: Pure Skill Reset Capsule, Skill Reset Capsule, High-Capacity Skill Reset Capsule 

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Developer's Notes:
We've reviewed comments of those who want to revert some skills to the state before training it, so we are expanding the Skill Reset/Reset Capsule functions.

• Attempting to Depart (Solo) with a character below max level, to a party recommended battle, will now display the guide message that recommends party play.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Developer's Notes:
We've added a reminder message to prevent players who are new to the game from accidentally starting a solo run on Normal difficulty when they first see a party-recommended encounter.

This notification will only appear for characters who are not at max level, and it will not appear if you select Solo Mode. 

• Fixed the issue where ending the battle, returning to Colhen, then entering a building would play the background music. 
  
• Modified the internal operation of the channel server.
