I must say, my assumptions of Vindictus were way off. Thought it would be good, turns out its epic. Played for like 10min and already im in love with this game.
As of right now my favorite feature is the secondary wep feature. Which can be used to manually aim and throw spears and chains, adds a nice element of strat into the game play rather than just hack and slash.

Spears, Chain hooks, also bombs (though bombs aren't that useful till you get to hoarfrost hollows where you can mine iron/copper/ and other ore with them).
Btw, character name?

I started the download last night and fell asleep so I started playing early this mourning. Only went through a few stages but already there were a lot of things that I liked. The character customization was pretty nice though most of it is chalked up to the detailed graphics of the game. Then again, knowing nexon, 9/10 times the high majority of the character customization options are going to become cash shop. (Like Mabinogi) Other than that, I like that the loading times are very short. The only thing right now that I see that needs to be fixed is the dodge feature. Maybe you can dodge better as you level up but as of now the dodge motion is not as fluid and useful as it could be. The time it takes to trigger the animation + actually moving - the distance that you move results in a somewhat ineffective dodge. Half the time I found it far more useful to simply move out of the way rather than use the dodge feature.
In any case, my screen name in game is Sorain. I debetated on selecting ele360 or some form of that as my name, but I decided that this game seemed far more... idk.. authentic than to have such a name, it felt like I should use an actual "Name" you know?

Nah if your not lagging dodge is fine (better for Lann than Fionna, fionna's isn't as far because she can simply hold space bar and use here sheild to reduce 80% of incoming damage. Lann has no such block so he relies on his dodge).
If you talk to merric he gives you a story where if you get your dodge up a few ranks you gain a skill from him (one that can't be upped) that gives you a short immediate "second" dodge for a bit of stamina.
So you'll like dash a bit, then do a small dash right after, super helpful. I got my dodge maxed so it costs only 11 stamina to do. Note you don't have to get out of the way of an enemies attack with the dodge either. You're invincible for .5 seconds with dodge, more if you increase the ranks.
Thus if you study an enemy (usually a bosses) attacks enough, you can learn when to dodge and actually dash right through their attacks, I do it all the time to stay close (so I don't waste stamina running back to them).

Tried adding you in game it didn't work, normally it does even if the other player is offline. Ah well, try adding Desmond when you get the chance.

InuVash255 Is vidictus going to have an open beta eventually? I dl'ed the game, but can't play it xP Yes, Closed Beta ends the 23rd and open beta should begin shortly after. Only reason Ele got in is because I was given 2 more codes from nexon (1,000 people in cbt that gave good feedback where given them) and gave one to him since he showed interest earlier when I was talking about it. The other went to a fellow game design collegue.

Ill switch servers today.

That would explain lag as well on your dodges (well if you where with a party, if your by yourself you should have absolutely 0 lag (provided your graphics card can handle it) since it's peer to peer)

My graphics card can handle it well enough. Granted I wish I had a little bit more to work with. Currently have a single core and its killing me, Im also at my grandmothers house for the summer and her internet is crappy. I can play well enough though to experience the game. A good example would be in s4 I generally run a ping of about 98-105. When on Vindicuts, my connection with the other players is not horrible but it could be better. In about two weeks I should be moving back to florida and then within a week or so afterwards ill have my broadband internet set back up, *Fingers Crossed that open beta will be out by then*. Right now im just hoping and praying that the game does not get ruined with the cash shop. As much as I love this game, I just know how Nexon is. I was part of the Mabinogi beta test and let me tell you damn near half the features of the game quickly became cash shop. Mounts, Pets, Tents (Very useful to have), a hell of alot of the character customization features such as hair and eye colors, all turned into cash shop.
With a game like vindictus it only make sense that for it to be f2p with such good quality, that the cash shop MUST be loaded with useful features.

Eh that's bumfu'ked....
Focusing is free, yes.
Making a check against someone isn't free....
I still see one more turn no matter what..... by sora not making "Actual turn" movements It would grant him that third post.
I don't really see the logic in how you explained it DBL....
So in the sense now, Sora knows where his enemy is but can't make a action towards them.......
Somethings messed up within the system,.....
Negate sora from the picture and you still have a puppet with via +1 action to take....
Seeing as the puppet in placement of sora took the check, that would grant a second post in order to oppose the opponent.
it would only be logic to do so, by you saying that the third action is voided your negating the Ally effect all together, Seeing as Focusing is not a real turn.
that's my debate anyways, I'm sure Sai or Ele will correct me if I'm mislead..
DBL you may try to....but I'm not mentally well..... vast enough to understand your greatness upon thinking sweatdrop

As a puppeteer I can tell you it's basically that the puppet takes your turn, if you had a summon or ally item it would have a separate turn. If you have two puppets the second puppet acts by taking the summon/ ally turn. So 1 puppet means it will always take your turn, 2 puppets means 1 takes your turn and the second takes the extra turn of an ally/ summon whether or not one is out.
In other news, I just don't see anyone maxing their jutsu accuracy buff. I would need nearly 2k intelligence to pull that off.

DBL you may try to....but I'm not mentally well..... vast enough to understand your greatness upon thinking sweatdrop Thanks for being on my side, but your misunderstanding the problem. The problem is not that I am unable to attack even though I know where the target is. The problem is that according to DBL, I have already used my action when I focused, and so i cant then take another action as the puppet because the action was already used. But, from my understanding of how puppets work, you do not loose your entire turn to the puppet, you simply loose your "attack" action to the puppet. So lets say I were to use Sora's turn to activate a buff, then use my puppet to attack. I could do that. (I think). So why cant I chakra focus and then attack with my puppet? What I did was, Zavits stealthed. As such I get a reflexive turn. Reflexive turn - Sora (Chakra focus) Reflexive Turn - Puppet (Check) Check passed Normal Turn - Sora (Chakra Focus) Normal Turn - Puppet (Attack) So the issue here is rather or not I am able to chakra focus, and still attack with my puppet. Which I thought that I could, but apparently I cant. Its ok though, the only thing that upsets me is, Now I know that I am going to have a very hard time in this fight, because I am going to have to beat Zavit's stealth check all over again, (unless he attacks me).

In other news, I just don't see anyone maxing their jutsu accuracy buff. I would need nearly 2k intelligence to pull that off. I understand that now, and im not even really debating it. I realize that I just misunderstood one of the rules on puppets. Quote: "A user can not take attack actions of his own during combat, instead he gets his normal turn given to the puppet and can have one more puppet take a turn as well as one would have with a Summon or Ally Item" I read that as the puppet takes your attack action, not the entire turn. Though now that I read over it, when it says gets his normal turn given, I should have taken that as the full turn. IDK, I got confused.
