Answer: Hat eigentlich zwei Gründe. Der erste ist Marketing. Es ist unpraktisch für ein MMO den ganzen Content anfangs rauszuhauen und nichts mehr in der Hinterhand zu haben. Wir werden aber schneller voranschreiten als der US Service und versuchen am Ende nur 3 Monate hinter dem KO Service zu sein. Der zweite Grund ist einfach: Wir hätten mehr Zeitgebraucht, für Lokaliserung und Tests, dass wir gar nicht mehr dieses Jahr fertig geworden wären. Lieber den Content jetzt und dann nach und anch regelmäßig Updates. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Wann wird die OBT starten? Answer: Können wir derzeit nicht sagen. Es wird bald aber eine offizielle Ankündigung geben. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Wann wird Evie released? Answer: Wir werden ca. einen gleichen Weg wie der US Service gehen. Evie wird schon bald nach der CBT verfügbar sein. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Wir bei Evies release eine Überarbeitung der Stabfunktionen integriert sein? Answer: Ich weiß es nicht. Wir gehen aber ja nicht von der NA Version aus, sondern von der KO XE Version. Diese kam einige Zeit nach Evies release und das Gameplay wird an die Version angepasst sein. Daher ist es wahrscheinlich, dass die Überarbeitung mit drinnen ist. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Wann wird Kalok released? Answer: Wir werden nicht die Zeit brauchen, wie die US Version, da wir schneller voranschreiten mit der Version. Wir werden ihn aber in der selben Episode bringen wie im US und im KO Service. Sprich Kalok wird nicht direkt nach den Beta zur Verfügung stehen. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Wird "Schwerer Stand" wieder das werden, was er auf der US Version war? Answer: Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist gering. Da wir die XE Version haben mit einem anderen Gameplay. Die US Version nutzt die Premiere Version. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Wann wird es einen Charakterreset geben? Answer: Nach der Closed Beta, bevor die nächste Phase beginnt. Sprich für die Phase nach der Closed Beta müsst ihr neue Charaktere erstellen. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Wird das Tokensystem kommen? Answer: Gibt keine bestätigten Aussagen darüber bisher. Daher kann ich darüber noch nichts sagen. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Welche IP-Ports nutzt Vindictus? Answer: Keine Ahnung, aber ich werde das anfragen. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Korea nutzt zwei Versionen, XE und Premiere. Werden wir in Europa auch zwei Versionen bekommen? Answer: Nein. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Kann man in der Closed Beta Gilden nutzen? Answer: Nein. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Wo kann ich mich als Forenmoderator bewerben? Answer: Derzeit gar nicht. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Wird es eine Möglichkeit geben, dass wir unsere CBT Charaktere behalten können? Answer: Nein, nach der CBT findet ein kompletter Wipe statt => Löschung aller Charakterbezogener Daten. EN:  Spoiler Questions about organisation: __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will we be allowed to restore our cbt characters ever? Answer: No, total wipe after CBT. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: At the end of OBT, there will be another reset? Answer: The only reset is after CBT. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: When will start OBT? Answer: Sorry, i can't tell you yet. But we will announce this soon from official site. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will the Closed Beta testers get anything out of it? Answer: Just the things from the CBT-Events __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Are you going to make alot of events in OBT, like NX clothes or maybe inventory extension? Answer: No answer right now. I think we will have events, but what kind and how much: unkown. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Korea has 2 versions, both premiere and XE. Does nexon have any plans to integrate that into europe? Answer: No. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Why would you want to release XE, taken from KR? Wouldn't it easier take NA Version because of localisation? Answer: Yes and no. 90%+ of the Texts until Episode 3 were the same. Afterwards it is almost 100%. Mainly events and other settings from the server side making later more Localisation issues than the XE Version. Also German had to be done newly anyways. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Why stick with XE version, or why not bring premiere to Europe? Answer: We can't afford bringing two Version to europe. We believe XE Version will reach bigger audience, attract more people to the game. For example players who didn't played vindictus before got more attracted by XE than premiere, like you said your own. If your only worry is, it's too easy: Please look next question. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Are there plans to change the difficulity settings or interduce new mode above hard ? Answer: Right now we were not thinking about that. We will wait what the future brings. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Is there anything holding back Nexon from releasing the 2 versions at the same time? Answer: Yes indeed. We would need more ressources, more people, more time, more from everything we don't have. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Where can I apply for a forums moderator? or How I can contact with Vindictus staff? Answer: Right not, nowhere. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Are you going to use the token system? Answer: There is no confirmed message about this right now, so i can't answer that for now. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will be there some "Earn free EU NX" features, like in US version? Answer: It's not depending on Vindictus, it's depending on nexoneu.com. If they offer over the payment system systems to earn free nx, it will be also applied for vindictus. But right now we don't have something like that. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Can Isreal and Turkey play from the start of OBT? Answer: They should be, I didn't heard about something else. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: When will be the event winners rewarded ? And who win the events ? Answer: Don't know. Need to wait for that. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: How about translations of Vindictus, will German the only language... and why German? Answer: It could be, that we add more languages in future. But that depends on the situation of Vindictus. We started with German because Germany has the biggest Market for games in Europe. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: will cash shop be added in OBT? Answer: If we make an OBT, no. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: With the next phase, will be there another Episodes? Answer: Yes. We prepared already more content for the next phase. Questions about content: __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Are we even going to reach NA content? Answer: The plan is to be 3 months after KO service. This means also we should be only few weeks behind US-Service __________________________________________________ _____________________________ Question: Why can't we play with full Content of other Version? Answer: Two reasons. First one is simple. Giving out all content we have would bore really fast the players, they would just run through the content and we couldn't keep up destribute new content so fast. The simple rule publisher tries to follow: Try to keep up a certain speed. And sorry, our main clients are not those player who know NA Version, it's players never played vindictus before. Second reason is, it would have taken longer to prepare more content. that we wouldn't be able even publish this year. Not only german localisation. If we start with more content, we need more time to test. The tests before closed Beta were already running for weeks. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: When will you release Evie? Answer: I think here we are going to have similiar way like US Service. But i can't tell you something detailed. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Evie is released will it immediately include the staff rework? Answer: I don't know. But we will get the game play from KO XE Version, not the NA. So it could be, because XE was released few Episodes after Evie, that this will include the Staff rework you speaking off. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: When will Kalok be released? Answer: We won't take not nearly the time NA did. Because or plan is alot faster than NA Version, we want to speed up. But basically Kalok will appear in the same Episode than in NA Version and in KO. So it's not a year, but also not next month. I can't say more right now. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will there be any variation between Europe and Korea in terms of updates/changes? Answer: In terms of normal content updates, there is no plan to alter the german version from the korean. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will we have same dye system like NA or KO version? Answer: Yes. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will Heavy Stander return to "what its supposed to be"? Answer: If you mean, if it will be like in NA version: no The game play are others and if there are XE specific changes we won't change it simply to NA Version style. This doesn't mean, there is not the chance of. I'm not following whole developement in Korea. But for things like this, we are orientated on KO XE version, not the NA version. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: There will be the pvp feature on Vindictus EU or not? Answer: There will be. Later you will have 2 PvP features. a) Duell against another player. You can start duell like in dungeons with other players. b) There will be something like capture the flag. I don't think, that i will take so long until we get the PvP features. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will you alter game system for us regarding Upgrade System, Craft System, Scroll etc.? Answer: No, we won't have special europe Version with complete altered system. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will be there any fishing competitions with prizes? Answer: Right now, i don't know about something like that. Maybe future content. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will there be a setting in the options menu to allow blocked content in the chat? Answer: There is nothing like that planned right now. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will in Hero mode bosses also show HP bar or not? Answer: Something i don't know right now. Will update when i know it. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will there be a direct trade feature or is something like that planned for OB or in the release version? Answer: No, trading is over Market later or via mail. You can send mails and say you want money for the item before another player gets the item. This is the way how you trade in Vindictus. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Why the is there no freedom in this game? Answer: Vindictus is made as Dungeon Runner, thats the simple answer. You could also make Combat Arms as game with free movement over a World Map. But both games from their basic idea don't need free map. For sure, for player it would be maybe nice to have that feature, but i think there is also technical issue, but that is something only the developers could answer correctly. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: What will be the second weapon of Kalok? Answer: His bare hands. No really, he can fight without weapon in his Hands! Questions about technical issues: __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: What IP ports does Vindictus EU use? Answer: Don't know right now, will ask for that. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Why is my country not allowed to play Vindictus EU? Answer: The Publishers make contracts with the developers, in here are the countries you are allowed to make service for. Contracts contain also many times that you need to IP-Block. Thats the reason why you can't play when outside of our Service Area. Even if you can play other Nexon EU games, it doesn't must mean you are allowed to play Vindictus. Contracts are made for specific games. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: If we can't play on nexon EU, can you just delete the ip block to US so we could enjoy their game ? Answer: Not only we have contract, not allowing us this, also NA has contracts like this. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Is there any chance that the block ip change in the open beta ? Answer: Simply no, sorry but we can't change. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Don't we deserve an extension due to yesterdays major login/delay/disconnections troubles? Answer: Sorry for saying it, but thats what an CBT is for. If we would do that, OBT would came later. But i think it's better to get 1 day earylier access to OBT than playing CBT for 1 day longer. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will mobs falling through the floor before they can be finished be fixed before OBT? Answer: I don't know. But as far i know, it's also a bug in Korea. So i think there will be still chances that mobs falling through the floor. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Will language filter stay the way it is? Answer: It's not finally decided yet. But mostly it will be the filter. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: Do we need to download a new client for OBT? Answer: Maybe, it's not clear yet. Depends on the works between the phases. __________________________________________________ _______________________________ Question: What controller can we use to play Vindictus? Answer: Everyone working on your PC. PS3 Controllers doesn't have native support for PC. For Xbox360 controllers we also have pre settings in the game => Controls => Advanced Settings Quelle/Source: Nexon Forum
