You can now recover weapons using AP.
Skill Capsules finally have a use!

However....

Quite Late, Guild PVP

Team/Guild Battle PVP is here.  Not sure what this is exactly trying to accomplish.  This is the same exact concept as regular pvp, just throwing in more players.  In my opinion, this will be a complete failure because all our teams will consist of Kais.

Who needs Lanns, evies, fionas, or karoks when I could shoot one arrow to stunlock you for about 20 minutes?

Kais. OP.

Le Success.

So I found out a way I can enable you guys to post comments/make blogs without having to login.

If you want to add a comment to a post, you can simply just click on Comments and post something.
You have to select Anonymous though in the "Comment As" selection box.
Much more simpler, so hope you guys give more feedback.

If you want to make your own post, you can do so by sending me your email address for this blog.
What this allows me to do is add that email to a list of "admins" that can post things on this blog.
Now I won't be the only one talking!

Somebody hacked my account and took this picture.  I have nothing to do with this, trust me.


Open Blogging

I'm thinking about opening up the blog for others, so that when you login, you can post a frontpage blog for everyone else to see.  I'm not exactly sure how to do this, but worst case scenario I can just make a free account and distribute the password to everyone.

By the way, has anybody noticed the SOON? If you know what I mean...


Get your vindictus action figures today!
Make Lann become a helicopter or Beyblade!  Or play Barbie with Evie and strip down her clothes like we all did during our childhood!

Failure.




What's that?  You're excited about the long awaited release of Season 2?

How about we screw up the servers and then leave for the weekend!

Better yet, how about we get your hopes up by creating a 6 hour maintenance and then do nothing about it!

Oh! You know what would be the best idea yet?  How about we leave the problem, and then go on vacation for Thanksgiving!

Don't even think about Vella.


On a serious note, guild systems haven't been fixed this maintenance.  My assumptions, well with my experience with Nexon I don't think guild systems will be fixed until next next week, or at least until December.  Nexon doesn't focus on guild systems, but they should at least question why nobody is buying their guild slots.

Communication

Hi guys, I'm going to start posting a lot more now, mainly about little issues here and there so I can get the team more involved while this guild bug lasts for 18,632,193 years.

In order to give ourselves a fresh start, I've been looking into revamping the appearance of the blogspot, primarily the banner to begin with.  However, I've also considered the usage of a forums, which most communities use in order to make little posts with feedback here and there.

Just like Kristine's comment posted in the last post, I like to get feedback on issues so that I can make the community more involved with improving our communications systems.

P.S-Who is Kristine?

Oh, and I felt this image was completely necessary in order to express my love~

Is That A Horrible Banner Or What?

5 minutes.  That's it.

Hi everyone, this is another personal note from Zokku.

After a few months of waiting for S2 and Vella, the release has not quite reached my expectations.  However, Vic and I have been discussing plans for the guild and it's in our best interest that we finally relieve ourselves from Isolation Mode.  As you know, Isolation Mode was no recruiting, no events, no raids, and L*tarded Zokku for about a few months.  This process was used to filter out members for those who liked the guild for the people and for those who just liked it for whatever reasons.  Our main goal in this plan was to keep members who would still stay by our sides even though the guild would fall into probably one of its deepest recessions (Hah, get it?).  In other words, WeTheProud is changing its interface-ial name from a Guild to a Team.

Guild Changelog/Plans for S2:
1. Recruiting system is changed.  Players will no longer be accepted through friends/connections/recruition(Shotgun approach)/guild thread.  Instead, players will only be accepted through Interviews and Tests of "Decent" Skill.  More information on this later.
2. We decided to limit the recruitment of people to 1 per 1-3 weeks.  The reason behind this is to make sure our guild stays as a close knit community that doesn't turn out into some huge explosive and scattered cliche mess (Ex. T-*Cough*).  There will be exceptions to this.
3. As the new guild slot limit is 200, it's unfortunate for us to say that we'll have to start calculating Activity times for people.  This means, Alts to some extent will not be accepted into the guild, and it's part of your responsibility to make sure you're active enough to stay in the guild.  (Remember, this is just another small conduct in order to make sure we don't have 3 month old players that are level 10).
4. Guild Expansions and Chests are completely useless.  I already took into account of what these features may include, but they're absolutely useless.  Don't bother wasting your time.
5. As we no longer have dedicated raids or events, we're going to try to keep the team together by having 1 favorite activity that everyone can participate in.  This activity is unknown for now because our main source of "guild related" activities were Raids.  However, Raids have become stale and its in our best interest to include something different such as "Guild PVP", which is coming up in the next patch.
6. Admins.  VictoriqueDB is the only admin that players can refer to for now.  Bulldogg and Ohashi don't have time anymore, so they're going to have be relieved from their duties.  Ikame is still on and off, so you may refer to her whenever she is available.
7. Zokku.  The reason why I've been acting extremely childish and like a complete retard was to test the community's feedback from a leader's perspective.  I'm extremely glad to find out that members weren't affected (to some extent) by my behavior, and this has shown me proof that I don't have to layout rules or policies.

Website Changes:
1. We're going to drop Dolby Axon.  It's too inconvenient.
2. We're still going to keep Steam, but it won't be as prominent to members' communication methods.
3. We're restoring Scribblar.
4. Blogspot is restored too, I'll be posting more often.

Personal Review of S2:
TLDR: Honestly, S2 isn't quite what I expected it to be.  In fact, it's a bit repetitive in my tastes because it's all about killing new monsters, hoping for impossible drops, and then making equipment that isn't exactly the best looking (Avenging Blades, LOL).
So I raise my question to Nexon and to the Team, what path does Vindictus have from here?  From this moment on, it seems that the only route for Vindictus is casual play, just as how we've been casually playing on/off throughout the years.  It's a sad story to tell, but nevertheless, casual player is better than ladder anxiety.

Future Updates:
1. Open World.  Vindictus Devs have begun Open World development, where players can fight (PVP) and kill some monsters in Town.  This sounds a bit inconvenient, since we still have map changes.
2. AP Reversal Weapon.  This is only a rumor or terrible translation, but the devs log announced that
players will be able to restore their broken weapon such as going from +12-13 by sacrificing an ENORMOUS amount of AP.  Probably sacrifice about 3-5 Rank 6 Skills.

Emergency! Read This About Guild Bug!

1. All guilds in vindictus cannot be disbanded BEFORE the patch
2. You cannot join a guild even if it was made AFTER the patch
3. You cannot remake a guild with the same name

In other words, all WTP members, please do not leave WTP as a guild (not that you have a choice), but try to add each other on friends and keep in contact until there has been a fix.

Apparently there's a huge guild bug where people can't join guilds or remake them due to certain issues.
We'll just have to wait for a few days or few weeks to see if Nexon is able to fix this.

Instructions:
1. Stay in the guild channel, this is our only means of communication
2. Colhen and Morvan CAMPFIRE will be our main pad area for socializing (You'll find me there)
3. Try to stay on Scribblar (Brought back, dropped Dolby) until we can fix this issue.

It's Time.

Season 2 is here.  Get ready for some big changes.
