    Default Vindictus europe FAQ update

    1. Why have we waited so long for the game?
    We’ve had to invest a lot of time to improve the game and localise the content to meet the high standard and diverse needs European players have, we basically wanted it to be perfect for you. This process took more time than we expected, however we are glad that we can finally put the game out soon and we hope we can give fans a better service in future.

    2. What’s the difference between the US and Europe version?
    Vindictus Europe will launch the Xtreme Edition of the game which is different from the North American version. The Xtreme Edition features fast phased, action oriented game play with combo attacks and additional attacking skills. We decided to deploy the Xtreme Edition in order to make the game more appealing to more people who’ve been waiting for Vindictus.

    3. Where can I get a BETA key?
    We are going to announce the whereabouts on the beta key giveaways very soon, there will definitely be some deployed here on Facebook for you.

    4. When is the launch planned for?
    The closed beta will start in September (the date will be announced soon right here on Facebook) and we are going to advance to the pre-launch stage soon after, in which every player will have access to the game.

    Vindictus is already fast paced (phased? lol) and action oriented gameplay (no clue about combos) so I'm sure it's a marketing trick.

    I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.

    I looked into it a bit more, Vindictus XE is not the same as the USA version.

    It's.. different gameplay wise. Not sure if this is a feature, but Jumping? Air combo's.. and more combo's and more "Over the top" gameplay?

    " from Wikipedia:

    eXtreme Edition

    On July 15, 2010, an alternative version of Mabinogi Heroes was announced for Korea. It is known as the eXtreme Edition, and often referred to as Mabinogi Heroes XE and abbreviated MHXE. The game itself is the same but the eXtreme Edition offers upgraded combat. Based on existing high-quality movements in Mabinogi: Heroes, Mabinogi: Heroes XE will present splendid and unrestrained movements more in line with the public's taste. Moreover, it will start off from a new server instead of being an update for the original Mabinogi: Heroes. Players can choose the normal server or XE server according to their interests. Currently, characters in the two different servers cannot be shared, but character transfer service will be provided in the future.
    [edit]Differences between the two versions
    Compared with Mabinogi: Heroes, Mabinogi: Heroes XE has the following major differences:[4]
    A jumping system has been added. With the help of it, players can easily jump over small monsters and traps.
    Players will be able to strike monsters to the sky. In the game, players can take specific actions to hit the enemy up into the sky and launch combo attacks.
    A combo system will be added. If players succeed in attacking the enemy continuously without being interrupted, they will gain combo points. When their combo points meet a high requirement, they can use a designated skill to deal extra damage.
    Additionally, the XE Version differs from Mabinogi: Heroes in faster movement speed and higher damage of common attacks.
    [edit]Korean Release
    Mabinogi Heroes eXtreme Edition debuted in Korea on July 22, 2010."

    From what I heard normal version is better from XE.
    I love Vindictus in way it is , it doesnt need to be more fast paced.

    No, that EX version also exists in the kr version. Though this

    is a bunch of marmalade that keeps popping up regarding EU releases. As if every euro player enjoys waiting for over 1 year just so there can be a fully translated french and german client. Where's the estonian or romanian translation?

    I think XE is also way easier, but not entirely sure on that.

    Seemed still a bit tactical, but timing, defending. But it also seems fun

    the normal version is way better its harder and doesn't get bored fast. The Xe verion gets bored fast mobs are slower you can evade there attacks easy and there arent many updates in xe version in korea.

    So, EU users can proxy to get the Normal version.

    US users can proxy to get the XE version.

    Best of both worlds if you're willing to put in the hours.
    And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear.

    You shout and no one seems to hear.

    I have no opinions on the XE edition if I haven't yet played it. There is no reason to bash it from one video showing slight pattern changes, "ZOMG LESS ATTACK RADIUS?! NOOBZ", Except obviously with jump combos you don't want a radius that is ridiculous enough to hit you from the side, which would make no sense if they are attacking forward. Look at the Premier Edition, it shows them not physically touching the character, and still being hit. Besides, If you're really that bothered about small changes like this, use proxies into NA. Like Cingal said.

    Never read so much excuses and bs te the same time, delusional, they simply delay because Nexon europe don't have idea how to manage a game. Their incompetence is the cause of delay.
    I 100% bet that the game will be the same as the current american version.

    Please Nexon Eu, go bankrupt and close so better companies can manage these games.

    sounds like XTREME excuse =/. Probably had contractional delays.

    Oh well, Nexon always brings EU games out late and when they arrive, most of the people have already moved on to better games.

    Aside from the fact that NA has Vindictus Premiere in English, the XE Client/Server had never been translated to the English Language.

    That in itself is the reason you got the delay. You got the shaft in getting Crap XE because of either Trolling or an episode of "Ohh Vindictus Normal, or Vindictus Shiney?!"

    NA - 1
    Eur - 0

    Heh I'm actually jealous of EU for getting XE. I'd rather have it over the normal version.
