Mmo With Dark Souls Combat
As for the combat, the Souls games do reward a slower, more reactionary and timing-based style. Dark Souls 3 does speed it up a bit, and introduced various special attacks. Bloodborne's combat is MUCH faster and actively encourages being aggressive, though recklessness will still send you back to the Hunter's Dream very quickly.

Many, many players running around the same world. But the combat barely works online as it is in a peer2peer system, making it client2server would just make it WAAAAAAAAY too laggy, except if everyone in a specific area in the game is in the same geographic area as the server itself. Sure, that could be resolved with many servers closer together, but then you'd have player scarcity and it would defeat the purpose of making the change in the first place. Beta player of Vindi since the beginning.
Vindictus is very similar to Dark Souls III combat style. Though, it's a gender locked class locked type game. For instanceLann: Uses Dual Swords/Dual Spears, pretty much does the Dark Souls combat with his dodges. His DPS revolves around landing a critical hit, then using his signature skill for damage, evasion, and positioning.Fiona: Uses a longsword+shield or long hammer+shield. Basically would be the Ashen One girl, but her dodge roll has no i-frames. You're relying on your shield for everything pretty much.Evie: Uses a Staff/Scythe.
She's the typical mage. She has her own form of Tears of Denial on her, her Scythe style I'd liken more to Sister Friede I guess.There's at least 7 other different characters in the game too. You want to know more, message me about it. Okay, so this'll go for anyone interested in it. At the current time, my recommendation for playing Vindictus is actually.NOThis is the wiki for the game. You can read about every character on it.Vindictus currently has 3 seasons.
The seasons are the content. Season 1 is Episodes 1-10 and it involves all of the battles.Season 2 was them taking a different approach that had mixed results. It went with a more open world style, more similar to Dark Souls I guess but you have to go through a loading screen for each area.
All of Vindi's battles are instanced. You can party up normally with 1-4 people (More on that later).Season 3 is the current one and it's kind of a mix of Season 2 battles and season 1.Anyway, Vindi has a leveling system. 90 is the current cap (Soon to be 95). There's weapons for every level range, and you can only use weapons your character specializes in.
Dark Souls Combat System
There's enhancing and enchanting your weapons (+15 is the absolute max but good luck), but beyond +6 there's a chance your weapon will reset back to +0. +8 and beyond it might be destroyed. Enchants you have to find a scroll in harder difficulty missions, then utilize magic elixirs to up the success rate and attempt to put it on. Enchants go from rFr7. R9 and above will destroy your stuff as well if you fail. Nexon is a Korean MMO company so there's KR elements in it.Anyway, from levels 1-51 I'd say the combat is still very similar to both games.
However, past that level, raid bosses become very ridiculous. A Raid boss is a special boss that you can bring 6 and later on, 8 people to fight against.
They tend to drop good mats for the better weapons in that level range and later on are the main way you get the best stuff. Up to level 51, you can solo all of the raid bosses if you want. Beyond that (aside from two that are both for level 52), they gain so much HP that soloing them becomes a chore unless you have incredibly high attack power, attack speed and crit. Oh, and you know them well like a Dark Souls boss.The early levels have been nerfed a lot and they've continued to make the game more beginner friendly. You'd be hard-pressed to find a lot of new players joining the game to be honest.
If I had to recommend Vindi to people, it'd be that it's best to play with a friends. And by friends, I mean a group of 4 and up. That way, when you guys do the raids, you have a full party and don't have to wait for people to join (It also means you won't have someone to carry you through the game, because I'm sure a lot of lower levels are just alts really) so you'd have to learn the Dark Souls way.Fashion?
This is the Fiona character I was talking about. Looks nice right? Actually, I'm using an inner armor (Bra and pantsu, yes) that I bought. Basically, no one likes the default inner aside from a key few outfits. Anything that's not shorts or pants most likely won't look ideal if it has this default shit. How to not deal with?
You pay some money to the company to buy any inner armor that's available. They use NX as their currency, you can buy it through a card or finding a karma coin card at various stores.Later on around 70 and so, bosses start having astronomical defenses. You'll want a certain amount of attack to be able to properly kill them in an efficient manner. How do you get stronger?
Enhance your weapon, enchant it, etc. You can buy stuff from other players, but making money in that game is basically just through trading and selling stuff. There's nothing you can spam to get money till literally endgame honestly. Endgame is doing the season 3 battles and a few other raids from season 2 to get enchants, enhance your gear and enchant it up to become as strong as possible.I should mention, when you kill the boss, the battle is over. The game then take screenshots of you while you're in the death blow animation. You can choose to save them if you'd like.
Also at the end, it shows how your DPS was. If you got 1st place, 2nd, 3rd etc. This does nothing but stroke your ego. If you die in battle, you can pay money again to revive for with 15 seconds of invincibility. It also restores your armor.Right, I forgot your armor can break in this game. When it breaks, you lose lots of defense points. It breaks mainly in battle, but its durability goes down with each battle you do.
So you go to an NPC to repair it. What if it breaks in battle? You can make a campfire if it's durability is low and get a buff from it that makes your armor heal itself over time along with providing an anvil you can use. Or you can carry armor repair kits to do it mid battle. Of course, it makes you vulnerable as hell, so do it when you have safety from an enemy/boss.I think that's MOST of it. Really well written, and sadly it seems like nothing has been fixed.This is hands down one of the best games I've played, but I had to stop when I reached a point near the end of Season 1 (the lizard riding on top of a big mastiff-like monster).
People were asking for attack scores that I could only reach with a +10 weapon, so I constantly got kicked out.So by then I was stuck with a +7 weapon no one wanted (or at least, not for a good enough price to allow me to upgrade), barely any money and no way to farm for items or materials thanks to the daily raids with abysmal drop rates. I basically had the choice to either start playing the marketplace with the little gold I had (which would have taken an eternity to reach the millions I needed, plus it's something I hate to do in MMOs), buy gold from shady 3rd party websites, or stop playing.
Such a shame:/. Oh, you played during that time? That was when the attack requirement boats really began.
It got A LOT worse since then, up until Season 3. Season 3 introduced the Seal Shop. Think of it like.Ludleth I guess? You get a seal of bravery for each raid you do, and you can trade them in for materials used for the weapons. The seals used to be really expensive, now they're very cheap to trade for items.
I can do 4 raids and have enough to get one of the rare drops from the dragon bosses of episode 10. 12 raids means I can make a level 70 weapon from them. There's other weapons you can make as well from farming normal bosses, but obviously the raid ones are the best. Biggest change I'd say right now is that as you level up now and complete certain stories, they give you gear.
Dark Souls 3 Combat Guide
I completed S1 on my Kai a few months ago (2-3 to be exact) and they gave me full level 70 gear, along with an enhanced bow and Xbow for him. So it's a bit more beginner friendly, but I still recommend only playing with friends to get the real experience. If you're solo, then I suggest don't bother honestly. Yeah, after my message I checked the Vindictus subreddit and Nexon seems to be as greedy as ever.Such a shame, too. As much as I like Dark Souls, nothing comes close to the fun I had tackling bosses like Irukul on a Scythe Evie. Fiona was amazing too.
I loved the dynamic of having to switch between normal and heavy blocks depending on the attack (I wish shields worked that way in DS3).I actually came back to try out Lynn and Arisha (Arisha is amazing oo) during the Road to 85 event, but I found myself stuck in front of the same upgrade/farming/gold wall as before, just at a different boat. Attack speed requirements are a big problem LOL. You bring up a good point.
Long ago, there was a pro Spear Lann named Raidhunter. He would solo most of the s1 bosses (Spear Lann was the hardest character to play at the time because he didn't have a dodge that had i-frames. He literally had to position himself constantly to avoid damgae) and he soloed one boss in particular, Ingkells in about 10min.I then watched another video of an Evie using gear the average player would have. Took her 30 fucking minutes to do the same thing. And she knew the boss well, not as well as Raidhunter but pretty good to be.
