Vindictus

From Nexon which isn't the best but the game is already out in Korean (Mabinogi Heroes). Yes it is related to Mabinogi but the gameplay and style is totally different.
Its going to be a Diablo style action RPG with a world a lot like DDO. (central hub town, instanced dungeons)
Its going to have partially destructable environments. It takes a page from Champions with the ability to use the broken bits of the environment as weapons.
The combat in the video looks really good for a variety of characters. Its got a God of War vibe with the combos and the heavy gore.

I also got a little Monster Hunter vibe from the polar bear boss.

Yeah... the jury is out on the boss fights I've seen in videos. (not because it reminds me of monster hunter) They look very grindy to me. Everyone rushes in, takes a couple swings and then risks insta-death if they don't block fast enough. This goes on for 10-15 minutes in 3 videos of boss fights I've seen. (2 polar bear, 1 spider)
They are going to have to fix that or incorporate more of hurling the destructible pieces at the boss.
Also, boss fights without a boss hp bar are a no no. I could give a rats ass about immersion. If you are going to have something take 15 minutes, I need an indicator that provides feedback on what strategies are working.

Does anyone play this? I'm still yet to decide between this, Atlantica, DDO and Pangya.

I would, if they didn't block European IPs. I think I managed one session with a proxy.
Oh, bugger. I'm in Japan, and it's letting me download it and whatnot. Fingers crossed!

Vindictus is a lot of fun: I still play it occasionally even though no other goodger, that I know of at least, does.

Hmm... it's telling me to log in through the website whenever I connect (that's what I'm doing). Not sure whether the servers are being screwy or it'll never work. I'll keep checking back as long as I remember to I suppose.

That sounds familiar. I think it's IP filtered to only allow North American IPs, hence why I was trying to use proxies.
Sigh. Uninstalling Expat Shield, reinstalling Hotspot Shield. Report forthcoming.
