Hi there! I'd like to provide some feedback on the latest content patch and offer some suggestions. I'm sharing these thoughts in the hope that they will be considered with an open mind and heart. I believe that making these changes to our server could benefit everyone and enhance the experience for new, returning, and existing players alike. Starting with the feedback on the most recent patch and the "problems" that I've noticed, I'll also provide suggestions for improvement. Patch v123 Feedback. Dungeons/Bosses: The idea behind the 0/10s | 0/2s content being tailored for beginners is fantastic. It is always amazing to see resources designed and meant to help newcomers. However, I feel the execution could be improved. Currently, most of the content seems to be focused on high HP mobs, which might not be the best for players who are just getting started. For someone starting and questing in Vendetta Gear, the World Bosses, 0/10s, and even 0/2s have incredibly high HP. As a “newcomer” using this gear and the Rifleteer class, it took nearly 9 minutes to clear a 0/2 dungeon run. Even for someone who is well-geared, clearing the 0/10s with reality potions still takes a considerable time—roughly around 4-5 minutes per run, depending on the dungeon and class. A common approach to expedite dungeon clears is to disregard the bosses' weaknesses, as it has been observed that nearly half of these can only be broken through elemental attacks. This, in my view, creates an imbalance—there should be a more equitable distribution between physical and elemental weaknesses. 130 Trials: : In terms of boss strength, I believe these trials are mostly balanced; however, I disagree with the only elemental breaks in general, as previously mentioned. On the other hand, I believe the class drop rate is considerably low and should be increased. To evaluate this, I have farmed the trials with a full party of characters while intentionally avoiding breaking the first boss in the Ruined Bloom Sanctuary trial. I did this on three different characters for more than a week, and only received the drop once. As a result, weapons hardly ever drop without breaking bosses. Reroll System:: I believe the 3:1 ratio for weapon rerolling is too costly and time-consuming. Although the team has indicated that these trials were primarily designed for new players, it takes an average of 60 weapons to achieve just one reroll for a single 120% weapon, which hinders their ability to acquire weapons effectively. This wraps up my feedback on the latest patch. Blood Knight Nerf: : I have some reservations regarding the nerf to the DOT skill in this class, as it seems to unfairly disadvantage new players and low-level camped characters like 120, 110, and 100 level runners. Given that this class lacks key performance (KP) for weapons like the guitar, staff, and hammer, yet still allows their use, players often approach the class in a less strategic (or “lazy”) manner rather than building it effectively. In my opinion, a more appropriate adjustment would have been to remove the ability to utilize these weapons altogether. I will include a screenshot as an example of my perspective while ensuring that players' names are blurred out of respect for their privacy. I will start providing suggestions for older content next. PvE Suggestions: Haven of Oblivion: The Haven of Oblivion has become largely underutilized content, primarily serving only to fulfill achievements, especially with the recent introduction of Accursed Weapons and 130-level weapons. While having a full party might make things easier, not everyone, particularly newcomers, have access to such teams. To enable newcomers to solo for their achievements, I would like to propose adjusting the difficulty of this content to align with that of the 100 trials. Alternatively, I would like to suggest that you increase the trophy drop rate to at least 75%, if not 100%. Currently, even when nine or more of 1/11 bosses spawn, trophies hardly ever drop, creating excessive randomness in the experience. Players face a 1/11 chance of encountering the desired boss, only to rely on further luck for the trophy to drop. 110 Trials: Since the content is outdated and anyone hoping to accomplish achievements will be spending more time trying to do so now, I think these should also be nerfed down, much like 100 trials. Partial Enchant Chest Lv9: : Since it takes more than two months to finish a single 125 set, I believe these enchants should not be locked in the abyss, as this content will remain accessible after the enchantments are gone. Recently, I have invested 6,000 souls and did not receive the specific enchant I desired from the box. I recommend that Lv9 enchantments should be added to 130 trials at a reasonable price, similar to 110 trials. Account Wide Achievements: Allowing players to obtain achievement titles on their alternate characters would encourage more individuals to explore and try out different races they may have always wanted to play but previously felt deterred by the achievement requirements. My suggestion is as follows: Upon completing the 1-65 or 1-90 shield achievements on our first character (“Main”), players would receive an "Achievement Title Voucher." All we need to do is show the voucher and the amount of gold that the achievement would have cost (including 129 eternal coin/stardust prices, which I believe is reasonable). Players could then either open it to receive the titles on their alts or trade it for titles at an NPC. Using an NPC would be beneficial, as it allows for the consolidation of multiple titles in one location. People will be able to find new motivation on Vendetta as a result, and new players will be able to quickly create alts for all the content grinding they will need to do. However, no one will be able to gain achievement points or rank leech by doing this, and the "gold sink" element of doing achievements stays in the game. Events: : I propose holding more frequent events on the website and in-game. Such holiday-related items were previously available under the "Events" tab, and I believe it would be cool to occasionally reinstate them in between in-game activities. And I'm not referring to the GS-hosted variety; rather, I'm referring to real NPCs, quests, and other activities that provide players with enjoyable activities and minor incentives. Potential rewards for these holiday events could include a complimentary Prime DA pet (NT version, if necessary), five event points, one free name change, or even free VGN. It would be fun to switch between these at random and during the holidays. Despite being "low effort," these are still a means to thank players for their devotion to the server and express gratitude to those who still support Vendetta. Necessary Bug Fixes: I would like to highlight two bugs that I believe should be prioritized due to their significant impact on gameplay. Firstly, there is a Lv92+ character certificate bug, which causes players to lose their certificates after a patch. Second, there is the bag bug, in which the inventory renders completely inaccessible, preventing players from seeing, using, or clicking on any items. These two issues severely hinder both PvE and PvP experiences. Koss Update: I propose removing the CP/EXP Buff from BG and make Koss work for Lv130+. I believe it would be great if the buff lasted at least 6 hours each day and could be claimed once daily so that everyone could get it, unlike BG buff that's only for 1 guild. Viridian Gorge: : It is sometimes very difficult to get 10 people on this server, especially during specific times of the day. I recommend introducing a five-man mode for this content. We went from being able to make one or two gems in a day (ST, DL, 4T, DF) to spending four to five days attempting to obtain enough crystals to make one gem. I would also like to discuss either buffing the viridian crystals we acquire or nerfing the amount that blueprints cost. Celestial Corridor 2 - Pisces: Similar to Gemini, this dungeon has two bosses, however the average party's runs are between 9 and 12m. I would like to request that the HP of both bosses be slightly decreased. The dungeon takes a very long time to finish because the bosses have a 12s sleep, a 5s stun (I believe 5s), a purification skill that destroys OUR positive buffs, and her own immunity skill that requires us to proc a trophy to remove it. Quests: As things stand, some maps are far too dense with mobs, and sharing drops for those mobs takes too long for group questing. I propose that quest drops be adjusted to have individual drops so that alts or questing together can be possible. PvP Changes: TW/GvG/GA: At the very least, I think it would be worthwhile to test this suggestion. Limiting guilds to 10–12 members at maximum within PvP maps, in my opinion, will encourage more PvP guilds and solve one of the main issues with this server. BG/NCTW: In light of the demise of classic vendetta, I propose reintroducing NCTW at 65 cap, to prevent too many broken items within loot pool. That being said, since our community is far too small, Battleground has not been fully tested and has never been enjoyed by anyone. As a result, it will be removed to make room for NCTW. Elysian Island: I believe that having this available every weekday at the same time, or even a bit later, can still be advantageous to everyone in need of the soul. I'd still like to propose another solution to address the elysian soul rate problems: consider allowing us to combine either 2 or 4 white items into an alpha, and 2 alphas into a prime. Additionally, it would be helpful to have the option to buy the prime version with PvP tokens from the NPC in Aven. This would help alleviate the issue since not everyone can consistently make the current time slot, and the drop rate is still too harsh. Though I think it's the best server (even better than Aeria), a lot of people think it's "too grindy." In my opinion, it's just that everything takes way too long, time that the vast majority of players no longer have. We all grew up playing this game, and since we started loving it fifteen years ago, we haven't been able to let go of it. As someone who sees the view of those who don't have a lot of time, kindly try to view it from the perspective of the community and widen your heart and mind to once again be more open and friendly to the player base, like during 100 cap days. We appreciate your efforts in maintaining the server for such a long time. Instead of the server feeling like a chore, as it does now, it would be really cool to see the staff taking care of it again. I hope this server continues to grow and that you have the best life has to offer, thank you.
