I agree with that one rule for sure colour, im sure everyone want an new awesome map, since there the last 2 year they didnt come with an new map i guess, they have to look a little bit to toher RPG games, so they can plan something what they can add some new things in their own game. +1 :)

Game Design is not IT. Learn to Read.
Besides, you are going majorly off topic by trying to bash me.
Note how I said trying, cause it's not really making an impression.

I think I'm more of a man than you'll ever be, if you managed to take an insult out of someone explaining something in thorough detail.
I don't think there's a mental institution in the world that can fix your stupidity.

Excellent. Thanks for creating this topic. I've got some ideas to share:

- Rakion Map Design Contest Events: Those with basic mapping skills (i.e. half-life mapping which is quite similar to the rakion maps), or architecture knwoledge will feast on these. Be it for quickie or long matches, Epic or surreal, gory or funny.

- Rakion Art Contest Event (I haven't seen one since Xmas 2008 - I'd win here everytime). Let players design sets, cells, and maybe characters too., Softnyx has made its GB players do that, why not here as well?.

- Increase game's difficulty a bit - This idea is mainly focused on Golem Wars. Since we're on an age where many people can spam cells easily, they should add NEUTRAL cells guarding the Golem deppending on the ammount of players and their level (Maybe some of you remember there was a time where the golems had the game's creator face on them, those golems would be guarded by neutral mid to high level longbows).

- NEW STAT: Cell Ward - Basically, it speaks for itsealf, a special type of armor which protects the player only from cell attacks. That way at least you won't die on 4-5 hits from a LVL 99 MK (maybe 6-8 hits). Major initial CW points should be put as it follows: archer > ninja > mage > swordsman > blacksmith (too avoid overpowering the strongest classes at first).

- Game Room Master's Deluxe Settings - This supports what you suggested to Softnyx on your 1st post: SE/NSE (enables / disables effects from all items). DeathBlow Handicap (sets the item's speed boost from 0% to 100%). Sudden Death option (slowly decreases inactive/last standing players hp on Boss War/Golem matches on the last minute of the round). Leaving these by default could (or then could not, to avoid exploiting it) an exp boost.


- New maps? - Definitely. They could be as simple as using Sacrifice of Sadro's Lobby for Boss War to new and complex maps that will test (advance) players / weapons' capabilities on different terrain types, or even built strategy based on ramp jumps, shorcuts, mazes, etc. Consider adding some new stages as well. Maybe a zombie invasion for halloween, white cells vs black cells, I dunno (i.e. Stage 70 Dawn of the Dead, Stage 80 War vs Kane Part I).

And maybe if it isn't off topic - Increase Adv Class Base stats - But only a small boost, like +5/+10 points to all attacks/hp&ap&cp per Level of Class advance, in order to make some distinction from non or lesser (in the future) advance classes.

Those are some Ideas I'd like to share for this topic :)

It becomes part of the lifestyle unfortunately. I hate sitting behind the screen, but it's where the magic happens so you got to put up with it.
I work for a company and do freelance projects. Currently on the side trying to re-create a similar version of rakion.

it is your ideas? some of them seems could be usefull to raise up rakion or at least for old players whos waiting for smh unique

How nice I'd like to see your work.
EDIT: I know these must look primitive for someone with your expertise (were done with Valve's Hammer Editor for HL1). It's an sketch for a CTFmap (which can be adapted for a Rakion golem/boss war map)

Pro ramp skills will let the players reach the lateral lookout towers, falling means death.

And the interiors of each keep looks like this:

It's like a Pit version of Gravity/Twin Castle, yeah the chasm ends on a floor with lvl99NSs.


Haha that's awesome, I'm mainly into ink drawing (I use pens), but sometimes color stuff with PS CS5.


Oh no I wasn't thinking on LBs, I was making an example since these were the cells that would guard the golem on that event (it was between 2007-2008 if I'm right). Guards could be Taurus, flying cells, etc. Or simply adding a Pit filled with neutral Lv99NS on new maps. (i.e. imagine covolt peak with lvl 50-99 skyblazers set on the mills) Or maybe not just neutral cells but TEAM-Alligned ones (i.e. Ice-Blue Taurus guarding the blue golem on Icefield and Red Taurus for red team).


Sadly yes, but in the long run the players who make it through will be glad to last longer vs cells from spawned by laggy Cell abusing hoes \:d/


Yeah it's true. But let's hope Softnyx reads this topic and considers fixing that.


Lol I'd be glad they asked me to design stuff, and not create new items based on others' work without some... compensation.


I thought suggesting 10 to attacks or 20 on armor/hp/cp would be too much considering they plan to expand further grades of class advance (otherwise they wouldn't call it 1st class adv). I wasn't actually refering on increasing the stat cap, 137.40 is fine, but adding more base stats to adv chars like explained before would give us a bit more satisfaction.
Oh yeah and the new item for class adv 2 only should be a cape :).

i think here should be changed master golems into dragons. And to golden golem few abilities like fear and poison.

I like this idea, but one mk shriek would blow the longbows to the other side of the room, making their efforts to defending the golem pretty much redundant.

Use cells that do not get pushed by Musktereer Kings poison, or pushed by their bombs.

read first post of the topic...is about what we would like to see in the next event isnt a demand
"#3- Since when has Softnyx ever cared what their American players think" this world have also other continents than America this post is for all i didnt make this topic especially for my server Europe.

Stick with the topic

I need character customization~! and also both sexes for different classes (ex. male ninja/archer). We need capes and more maps and stages. Many new players find it difficult to level and once you do all the stages once your like level 40. More stages would at least let them get to 80 so there would be more item circulation and would give them a point to buy cash in the first place. Also we need different hair styles, face styles, and hair colour. The customizability adds to the feeling of ownership of a character, thus making the player feel more attached and will be compelled to buy cash for further upgrades. We also need some more gold items that don't cost so much. Yeah...that's all I got for now.
