It has nothing to do with your/our/his/her/its connection. It runs on a peer-based network connection for joining games, which means the lag you get with various people fluctuates very rapidly. That, combined with Nexon's seemingly inability to comprehend this problem, leads to a lot of varying opinions about Vindictus.
I was the CB for it. Then I was in the OB. Then I dropped it. It's nice at first, but once you get to the later levels it's absurdly obvious it was geared to players who can pay for the ridiculous cash shop tokens to get through. Most people burn their all their silver tokens in 2-3 days. I can burn 25 in a 2-3 hour period, because I had a nice guild to run with.
And frankly, it's repetitive. You cannot deny that. The level designs are 150,000% linear.
Sorry it's not Ragnarok online. Your argument went from "herp a derp connections suck" to "i play too many mmos so this wasn't shit to me."
I do not see your point with this statement, not to mention you just popped in a red herring. Thank you for reading my sig.
@topic: GameTap has a lot of free arcade style games. I used to play Metal Slug on it (and it even comes with the co-op!) for free. I'm not sure how it is now though, it seems they've changed drastically since I last played.
My point is that Vindictus isn't tailored for people who play too many MMOs. It's for people who don't want to play MMOs. Which is why I enjoy it.
