    no players left to do RCB since the system is garbage to begin with

    Unnecessary comment given there are over 100 matches a day.

    So instead of being that guy offer solutions, being critical about something but offering no valid input makes your input invalid as you have not and could not do any better. So next time don't be that guy ok? That guy is boring and really not worth listening to. Offer something instead.

     

    This idea was thought of but we feared it could be abused. We're looking into improving the points system though we didn't expect it to be as punishing when losing.

  2. It's not something we can really do given our current stance on custom costumes. I am intending on working on some events in the future that everyone can get involved and create unique things we can add to the game. However, as of now it's not possible until we've finished some other parts that are needed for such ideas.

    I feel there is a lot less players online now, it kind of feels empty but I guess it is all the bots and shops.

    If you want to feel more full just surround yourself with lifeless teddy bears. That's the definition of us preventing shops and bots. The same amount of active players are playing just because all the channels aren't green/full doesn't mean we're going in a wrong direction. The impact the new client has made towards bots is huge and it's a massive step in the right direction (a step everyone demanding us to do something about if you recall). You cannot win both ways I much prefer knowing the exact amount of players online so I know what's going wrong and right and not just 1000s of bots online and people making a quick buck from gold selling.

  4. Season One Rainbow Battle has Begun!

    Rainbow Battle Changes:
     - You will now gain x2 "Rainbow Penny" when winning a match additional to your box.
    Rainbow Penny can be sold for 1,000,000 gold at a Shop NPC.
    NOTE: You can only obtain a max of 3 "Rainbow Penny" per day. You will still obtain the box each win though.

     - Disabled the use of Sacrifice in Rainbow Battle.
    This skill was causing a lot of problems including the new buff bug we had. The issue with the spawn to Krem is a big problem as well so we figured disable it for now until we find a new solution.

    General Changes:
     - Removed the additional portals that appear after Caligor is complete until further testing has been done.

    Bug Fixes:
     - Fixed cursors missing from the game.

    Information:
     - It is possible due to how late this patch is the RBB schedule is slightly bugged. If it is bugged I will fix it when I return a few hours later (it needs a few hours to sync it's time properly).

    Season One of Rainbow Battle has begun. This season we've decided to keep the same format from the Beta Season but we've made some changes to how the Rank System rewards points.

    Season will end: April 4th 2019

    How it Works
    You will have to attend Rainbow Battle on the "[VGN: RAINBOW]" channel. Announcements will be made 10 minutes prior to the system beginning. You will have to compete in 5 matches in order to gain your rank and then it is up to you how far you go in terms of where you wish to finish in the Season.

    You gain points based on your teams end result and also your performance towards Kills/Deaths(KDA) and Objectives during the match.
    NOTE: Preliminary matches do not count your kills/deaths or objectives it is strictly based on your team's result only.

    Season One Rank Point Changes:
     - When you lose a game you will lose a lot more points than the previous season.
    To reduce this deficit you will have to perform well enough by killing players and objectives.

    The following Ranks can be obtained:

    Quote

    Bronze: 1 - 300 Points
    Silver: 301 - 700 Points
    Gold: 701 - 1500 Points
    Platinum: 1501 - 2500 Points
    Diamond: 2501+ Points
    Diamond 3rd: 3rd out of all Diamond players.
    Diamond 2nd: 2nd out of all Diamond players.
    Diamond 1st: 1st out of all Diamond players.

    You will lose your rank if your points drop to the bracket they belong in. Also players will lose 50 points each day they do not participate in Rainbow Battle.

    NOTE: We do show your "Max Rank". This however does not reflect your reward you must maintain your rank in order to be rewarded. If you have Diamond Rank as max but finish in Gold then your reward will be Gold.

    How can I view my Rank?
    You will be able to view your rank on the website: https://nt.vendettagn.com/rainbow_rank.vgn by logging in and viewing the page.
    Rewards
    Seasonal Rewards will be updated each season. For this season you will receive the following rewards:

    Quote

    In order to receive a Reward you will have to gain a rank placement.

    Bronze: Season One Bronze Title
    Silver:  Season One Silver Title, 25 Rainbow Coins.
    Gold:  Season One Gold Title, 50 Rainbow Coins.
    Platinum:  Season One Platinum Title, 100 Rainbow Coins, Season Minor Prize.
    Diamond:  Season One Diamond Title, 200 Rainbow Coins, Season Main Prize.
    Diamond 3rd: Season One Unique 3rd Place Diamond Title, 250 Rainbow Coins, Season Main Prize.
    Diamond 2nd: Season One Unique 2nd Place Diamond Title, 300 Rainbow Coins, Season Main Prize.
    Diamond 1st: Season One Unique 1st Place Diamond Title, 350 Rainbow Coins, Season Main Prize.

    NOTE: Rainbow Coins can be sold for 2,500,000 gold in-game at any Merchant.

    Season Minor & Main Prize
    This Season's Minor prize is the Tier 1 Divine Rainbow Crystal. The Main prize is the Tier 3 Divine Rainbow Crystal:

    How does Rainbow Battle work?
    Please view the following thread on how the new Rainbow Battle works.

    Rules:
    All standard rules apply as normal:

    No Boosting - Anyone caught boosting or being boosted expect to be banned from the game altogether.

    No Intentional Throwing - If you're caught throwing a game expect point deductions from your rank. If you're caught with repeat offenses expect a Rainbow Battle ban indefinitely.

    Leaving/DC'ing - If a player leaves the match they will receive a 3 match ban from Rainbow Battle and a deduction of 100 points off their rank.

    but is not my fault  if nostale is a korean game, one of best p2w mechanic , you change much thing but it's normal i need spent +1000$ on vgn and play 4hour per day  or more and this rng just make me feel bad ?

    Ofc it makes you feel bad but use the right terms is what I am saying to you.

  7. 9 minutes ago, channel said:

    yeah but for player who has short time he can't end content. but in vgn game is more geek to win than p2w

    That doesn't give you the right to assume P2W though. If every game catered for the people who didn't have time to play their games then what for the people who do have time? Do not throw terms like that around and trying belittle our game and services because you can't keep up.

  8. Just now, channel said:

    p2w is based on rng, dam you never play a really no p2w  ?

    Lol no...

    P2W is short for "Pay to Win" as in when people use real $ to get an advantage over a non-paying player. It has nothing to do with RNG at all in any sense. You could call it P2W if for instance we left the scrolls in the NosMall instead of the shop.

  9. I had the idea of creating a "database" of some sort that can be accessed via the website. I never got round to it and the more I designed it the more reasons it made me believe we didn't need it. I'm not one to totally say never, but this is something we probably won't do (at least on our part). We welcome anyone who wishes to open such a site but as any external site that doesn't belong to VGN be careful please.

  10. 5 hours ago, channel said:

    they no want p2w game but want keep p2w mechanic , you really bad luck.

    i waste 10b for craft shoes and glove fail ,  so feel my pain .

    Before opening your mouth you should know what P2W actually means. Another term being thrown around incorrectly as per usual. Rates are a lot better than official but go learn some maths first and understand probability just because it's 1/5000 doesn't mean you will get it in 5000 tries for example.

    NOTE: Before the example is taken out of context understand it was an EXAMPLE and not true rates.

  11. This time of the day the game is less active, it's always been this way, but last night there was a lot of players. So I wouldn't say it's dying at all?

    The new protections we've added has definitely made an impact as we've lost around 30% of our "online players" count but that just says to us that at least 30% of logged in accounts were bots.

    So I can assure you the game isn't dying and those saying it are the same people who were saying we're shutting down for the past 2 years.

    We also increased the capacity count on each channel and do remember we have a lot of channels so I wouldn't worry about it "dying" we're growing every single day.

  13. Hey all,

    We've decided to begin taking further steps to counter against malicious activity going on in-game. One of the biggest complaints we have are those who abuse packets, hacks and those who use clientless bots.

    We've now added protection to our client and our network to further prevent such activity. We hope this is a great step into cleaning up the community here at NosTale Vendetta as we are proud to be hosting such a game on our network.

    We have plenty more methods incoming over this year to prevent further abuse of the game. It will be a clean NosVille someday!

    NOTE: With the change will come issues with our client. If you have problems loading our client or your anti-virus detects our client, then please whitelist the application to proceed. The detection is a false positive and is only triggering because we have not assigned a trusted certificate to the executable.

    I'm sure some conspiracy theories will float around but I can assure you all the application is safe it is only encrypted.

     

     

    Please check your Nostale install folder to see if Nostale.exe is still there. If you do not see it, it means that your anti-virus program has already removed it. You will need to go into your a/v quarantine section, restore the file and THEN add it to your exceptions list (though many anti-virus programs automatically ask if you want to do that since you are restoring the file).

  14. It would only diverse for a short period until everyone got to the next high rank.

    We're looking into ways of improving rank points in-game tbh we're just not sure yet on some steps due to alt abuse.

  15. Loyalty is updated by the server side and only when it reaches certain values does it respond or take effect due to the messaging the server to client handles. So something like this wouldn't really work to your standards. If I can find more information on this I can do such an idea for you but I'll need to double check.
