Hello, this is DEV Allanon.

 

It seems like just a few days ago we welcomed the new year of 2025, and soon a month will have passed.

I am sending you my New Year's greetings, even though they're late.

 

[New Character Neamhain and Golden Time Event]

It hasn't been long since we introduced the new character Neamhain, the boss monster Gorbas of the Glutton's Banquet, and Golden Time.

You've given us a lot of feedback, suggestions, and recommendations, and we've carefully reviewed it all.

In order to resolve the inconvenient parts of Neamhain's character, we made an additional update yesterday, January 23rd. We will also check to see if any other inconveniences remain.

There were many concerns that Neamhain might have been over-tuned, but we decided to fix her by prioritizing playability and comfort.

If objective indicators show other adjustments are needed during future balance updates, we will approach them cautiously.

There was a lot of feedback and suggestions regarding Neamhain, but there was much more buzz regarding the Golden Time event.

There were voices of support for the Golden Time item rewards and many valuable comments on the event's change to a designated-day attendance check method.

We agree with each and every one of your opinions and believe they are valid. Based on the feedback and event data you have carefully written, we will consider ways to satisfy even more players in future Golden Time events.

 

[Mileage Shop]

There were also many inquiries about the Mileage Shop.

We think the Mileage Shop, which we are planning on adding in the July or August update, could replace the NX Reward event.

When you purchase items with NX, you will receive a certain amount of mileage points, and these points can be used to purchase desired items at the Mileage Exchange Shop, which is always open.

It will include some of the outfits previously featured in the NX Reward event, along with the Bres, Eisen Ritter outfits, Wings, and Back Ornament items.

In addition to outfits, we will work on customizing the product list to provide more options for purchasing items, including NX items such as Enhancement Runes or Enchant Runes.

In fact, the most common inquiry about the Mileage Shop is about the commonization of exclusive hair.

The commonization of exclusive hair is an item prepared as a special benefit only available at the Mileage Shop. We plan to make hairstyles that can only be worn by specific characters available to all characters of the same gender.

Since Hurk, Grimden, and Karok have different body types from other male characters, we are reviewing whether their hair can be shared, and we will push forward in a direction where they can while preserving our original intentions as much as possible.

We have also confirmed the suggestion to proceed with the commonization of Exclusive Equipment etc., but please note that we are currently only proceeding with plans for hair.

 

[Recollection Crystal]

We also reviewed the discontinuation of the Recollection Crystal, which many of you suggested.

The Recollection Crystals, which were to provide a chance to obtain outfits that you unfortunately missed, will no longer be provided.

We have made this decision in agreement with the feedback of many players who shared negative experiences, which goes against our original intention.

 

[Character Utility Improvements]

While opinions on Golden Time events, hair commonization, and Recollection Crystals tended to gather attention at certain points in time, the most consistent suggestions were for character utility improvements.

The first character utility improvement update of the year is currently in the works and targeted for release in March.

In March, we plan to resolve the unreasonable play structure as before, by slightly modifying several characters.

We plan to modify characters like Lynn using the Battleshade, Arisha using the Spellwhip, Fiona using the Long Hammer, Cestus Karok, Kael, Hurk using the Teide, and Kai using the Bow.

After the March update, the next update is expected to be around June.

We will start by focusing on improving Vella, who uses the Twin Swords and Twin Chainblades, and then sequentially work on characters that need a lot of improvement.

We ask for your understanding from players who use Vella, and we will proceed meticulously to get good results.

 

We will prepare a detailed explanation of the schedule and the contents of the updates we're unable to introduce one by one in the DevTalk before the summer update.

That DevTalk is scheduled to be released around March, but if it is delayed, we will share our progress through DevComments.

 

As this is a meaningful year that began with meeting our players face-to-face, we will work even harder to become a Vindictus that always listens to our players' voices.

Have a happy New Year in this year of the Blue Snake!

 

And thank you!

Hello, this is Vindictus.

We would like to provide prior notice regarding modifications to the Aurora Effect Destiny Box, which was distributed as part of the 2024 NX Reward Event.

 

[Notice Details]

It has been confirmed that the VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora effect displayed in-game differs slightly from the effect described in the 2024 NX Reward Event announcement.

The three VIP Premium Aurora effects showcased on the event page were recorded during the development process.

During the creation of the VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora, the blinking effect, which appears during the reactivation of the effect, was deemed unnatural.

To achieve a smoother and more natural visual effect, adjustments were made, resulting in the current Flashing Type (VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora - Pulsing Variant).

 

However, as the current VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora (Pulsing Variant) was provided without adequate explanation beforehand, we plan to resolve this issue by adding a VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora (Steady Variant) option to the box contents.

This will allow players who selected the VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora effect to choose the type they prefer and prevent any inconvenience.

The details are as follows:

 

[Planned Changes]

※ These changes will take effect after the maintenance on Thursday, February 25th.

1. The previously distributed VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora effect item will be renamed to VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora (Pulsing Variant).
2. The VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora effect item in the Aurora Effect Destiny Box will be replaced with a VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora Effect Destiny Box.

 

VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora Effect Destiny Box

• VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora (Pulsing Variant)
• VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora (Steady Variant)

 

• Players can select and obtain one of the two types: Pulsing Variant or Steady Variant.
• Descriptions of both effects will be available on the 2024 NX Reward Event page starting February 4th; however, please note that the date is subject to change.
• Please note that the names "VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora (Pulsing Variant)" and "VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora (Steady Variant)" are tentative and may change upon final release.

 


[Details by Player Status]

• Players who have not opened the Aurora Effect Destiny Box
  • The contents of the box will be updated as follows, allowing players to select one of the items:
  • Before February 25th Maintenance:
    • VIP Premium Black Aurora
    • VIP Premium Gold Pentacle Aurora
    • VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora (Pulsing Variant)
  • After February 25th Maintenance:
    • VIP Premium Black Aurora
    • VIP Premium Gold Pentacle Aurora
    • VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora Effect Destiny Box
• Players who opened the Aurora Effect Destiny Box and obtained the VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora Effect before February 25th Maintenance
  • The VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora (Pulsing Variant) in your possession will be retrieved.
  • A VIP Premium Purple Storm Aurora Effect Destiny Box will be sent to you via account mail.
