Playing for about a month after it came out, I honestly saw no real spark to the gameplay.
Sure it might be in it's "Early stages", but it'll always be a copycat of Monster Hunter to me. Get on a boat, kill some small enemies, get to a big enemy, spam spears on it then stab it when it's down.
Even if nexon were to incorperate a life system like mabinogi, it won't be a success in the late future due to the limitations of the game's combat system and overall gameplay.
There are no field areas to grind in, so your forced to pay a couple of tokens which are limited per day in order to train. Then when your in the dungeon you have a 1 in 4 chance to get a key item to make a better weapon which does just about as much damage as the one you already had.
The only good thing I can think of which vindictus has that might have alot more potential is boob physics which is awesome.
At least monster hunter actualy had solid npc's rather than portaits inside noisy ear-rape buildings you can't move around in.
It's kind of a waste of the source engine when you think about how it could have been way better. Like it could have been half-life 2 with swords and spears, but it's a copycat of monster hunter instead/
