The Apocalypse of Vindictus

Members..I'm afraid you've all predicted the worst to happen...and here it is.

Preview on level 80 Fiona Weapons.

The hammer has the power of a +13 Black Hammer at +0.

The sword has the power of a +14 Dreamwalker Longsword at +0.

At +10, the power saturates beyond +15 and possibly hits the +16 level.
At +12, the power saturates beyond +17 level.

GG everyone, all +15s are now worth 50mil at best.
It's been highly speculated that Nexon would release +10-12 runes. However, they would release +17, which is actually the same ATT as a +12 Ep 11 Weapon.

Now before you wet your pants and think to yourself, there has to be a silver lining in this entrapment. Well, unfortunately, this is just the beginning sonny. If Pirates of the Caribbean weren't enough for you, I think it's best you crawl under those covers right now and run away from this wall of text. After all, this wall of text has nothing else to offer you but the truth. This truth is that all of you who claim to have skill with 13k ATT (I'm raidhunter, I can solo things with 13k ATT, that is why I deem myself overqualified for boats!) don't even realize the epic truth of Season 2.

Ladies and gentlemen, here it is. Boats now require base ATT of 15,000. You won't even crack the defense with 13k. On the Kraken, your attack MUST penetrate at least 16,000-,17,000 ATT. The video below shows a failed run with trans AND stimulants. Just look at those tears fall..Nexon sure loves drinking salty water. As if dodging and using a strategy weren't already tough enough, it's almost impossible to crack that defense.

However, in all scenarios with seemingly impossible tasks, there is a silver lining. This, my friends is that Kraken and Snake boss have just been released. Players will naturally react that they have no idea what to do in these raids, and as a result, they will fail. They. will. fail. Do not think this is your excuse out of hell! Oh no buddy, things just got started. Don't forget, these are players who are Korean. APM levels of 300+ with Black Widow Mechanical Ultimate Gaming Keyboards and 5600 DPI Mouses with Precision Accuracy. They also have perfect communication, some may even have voice chat, but for the most part, this is an ORGANIZED team. America? Well, 12k ATT, 50% of pugs which don't speak Engriiiiiiiiiiiiiish, and APM levels of which I'm older than.

So here's the order.
1. Some Snake boss, 15k base ATT, not so bad.
2. Kraken, regular run 16k base ATT, 18k, run failed
3. Kraken, super stimmed run, Transformation WITH STIMULANTS, 18k+ ATT, failed.
The problem lies in the fact that Kraken has over 17k DEF or something of that sort.
It's almost impossible to crack his defense and there's even a bigger problem here.
Players must focus on certain tasks within the raid to prevent their "boat" from breaking.
In the 3rd video, the players failed to meet such requirements and as a result, the Kraken destroyed their boat. Notice how the Karok survives. In zombie movies, the Karok would be the first one to be eaten....if you know what I mean....(see what I did there).

It's okay, calm down, here's something to cheer you up. Another skin.
