when is the close beta of rakion?
Comments
its on right now, and for a closed beta its very open although laggy.
allways remmeber:
you're special,
just like everyone else.
Just to let anyone hoping to check this out know, the closed beta is over, (though it never really seemed closed to me) but it'll hopefully be going open soon.
once again, a major disappointment, the open beta of Rakion is sceduled for october/november, as said by in the dev letter. i don't blame them though, everyone who played in closed (as myself) must have noticed the inevitable-to-solve bugs in the game, like the major latency cap problem .
I have a tree, a tree that's in my garde, but my garden's too small for the tree, so the tree is in my house, that means i don't have a house .... who am i anyway?
Yeh, the issues with getting into a game when you have some random kid on 28.8k lagging out is pretty lame.
They have to fix the ability to join games, it took me forever to find a server I wanted to stay in, and then most of the time after the match, everyone would leave.
I played in the Beta for only about a week, and in certain modes of play if you know how to use the different char types it can be way too easy. For instance when using the ninja in a Golem War game, even at level one, once you get used to the agility and attacks for the ninja you can win a round in about 20-30 seconds, even with level 10 opponents.
Also i thought that the game was far to easy for people to hack, there where ALOT of people exploiting glitches, there is alot of work that they must do to balance the classes and prevent people from cheating.
It was quite addicting as long as i didnt run into too many hackers.
Lol, yeh the speed hackers were obscene, i'd say ninjas were the hardest class for my archer to kill, though once I got really good at aiming they we're pretty simple. The hackers were the worst though, I'd definately say they need to balance things out a bit more.

I agree that some of the mages spells are way too powerful, for example the missile spell that actually follows you does an insane amount of damage if you don't dodge it, which is stupid because it's hard to dodge if your not paying attention.
If your good with archer you can pretty much destroy anyone, the problem is, once any group realizes you're good they will all gang up on you. Almost every match once I started killing most of the other team I would have 4 of their 5 members on me at the same time, it started to get really boring.
Also, if you saw the speedhackers, you would know, because the round starts and all you see is kill texts because they pretty much insta-kill you at the start of the round, it's pretty lame to say the least.
Lots of work needs to be done, but hey, for a closed beta the gameplay was atleast good, in it's core.
there you said it, i can't help it, but the image of an archer using bows in rakion is quite boring, i tend to like the game far more if everyone is using the melee skills, those are spectacular anyway, besides a mage that just needs a decrease in power for what i find. and it's true, if they spot the archer, he or she is lkely to get DT'ed for the rest of the match.

The ninja may not do alot of damage with the majority of its attacks, but if played right its damn hard to hit and in golem games, it is the best choice IMO, because of the secondary ranged attack that does massive dmg. If you do that near the golem, even more so if enemies are between you and the golem, you do a good ammount of dmg to the golem and with a couple of those attacks, if someone takes the full force of that attack, they are dead, if not severly damaged.
The archer can be extremely good when it comes to killing players, but yes, if you show that you can aim you get swamped.
The mage is quite strong, but its kinda slow so it makes up for it. if you know he is there, you can very possibly dodge everything. If you are distracted tho, they can rip you apart.
The warrior is a dissappointment. Even though the damage stat is higher for warriors, an archer will still kill faster than a warrior. Also the warriors Chaos mode has to be the most pathetic. A mage, archer or ninja will obliterate EVERYTHING that is stupid enough to fight it in chaos mode. Even in chaos mode for warriors it can take a few combos to kill someone.
Ive never really played the blacksmith so im not sure on its proformance.
>Tyzen is right, a warrior is supreme, besides, it's the only character with whom i manage to get 4 S grade ranks in 4 stages up to lv 7. and another thing i right that, if you know how to play with a warrior, you are likely to end up first, i would show my scoreboard, but the screenshot is to large .... and it's jpeg already.
I have a tree, a tree that's in my garde, but my garden's too small for the tree, so the tree is in my house, that means i don't have a house .... who am i anyway?
A really good warrior can keep people on the ground in a endless chain of combos as long as they have really good timing, i've only seen 1 or 2 people pull this off but they pretty much owned the entire servers doing so.
Archers can outkill pretty much any class as long as you have good aim and you're really good at paying attention to your surroundings. You pretty much have to get used to moving around alot and adjusting your aim for your movement, i.e: dodging and firing ahead of running opponents.
The chaos mode for archers is fantastic if you can aim, and theres nothing funnier than seeing a mage windup a spell only to get propelled 10 feet backwards when you pick them off on your chaos mode, I dont know about anyone else but I found this to be hilarious.
Blacksmiths, correctly used, can be very hard for archers because they have a large swing radius, and if an assassin is determined to chase you around its pretty hard to evade them, though the short stun after arrows can make it so you dont really need to run away.
What it boils down to basically is wether or not you can aim, if you can, people will fear you and probably gang up on you a lot, otherwise you usually get decimated by better melee players.
The funniest thing I saw alot in games was people accusing me of being cheap for using my bow as an archer, something about it just struck me as comical.
LMFAO that's a typical noob-desperate scape-goat
Warriors need just more damage and they'll pretty much pwn everything and everyone (considering you can move well). They're just perfect if you know how to use them.
btw why good archers get swamped at once? No one's going to let a good opponent feel lonely in their corner shooting at backs. I for instance don't attack ninjas and archers, I always go for tanks. But of course if somebody's ganking me from 2 miles away I'll respond, and in case of archers and ninjas having golden swords or being the last survivors of the enemy team. But I don't gank one archer with 5 other tanks or such, just so we get clear

I would play it... if their stupid ping limiter didnt ruin every channel that was started
I agree its totally moronic. For example I can get 50-75 ping to everyone in one match EXCEPT one guy that goes between 120-290ms & that means I get booted.
I think its to avoid having dedicated servers, now its spread out on all players (& the player that created room?).
Also what is upp with cheating/buggs? Couple of days ago the enemy gets golden sword & kills our golem but instead we win
Then there was the match where we lost despite the gold golem never spawning & suddenly our golem died (everybody was at gold golem fightning & waiting for it to spawn, no gold sword for anyone).
In that same match we lost final round despite the last enemy player being flat on his face at his own golem (he never stood up & could not be damaged).
Better items = better stats, only paying members get best items (& distribute stats after a certain level) which leads to free players get to be cannon fodder. If they followed the standard "buy items for real cash" they would probably have more players.

Honestly... Softnyx COMPLETELY screwed themselves over when they changed the way to get items in Gunbound, and theyve only gotten more stupid since then. If anyone used to play Gunbound, it was pretty fun. If you got enough gold, you could purchase items, to make your avatar cooler/stronger... that was all fine and dandy. After that, they implemented a system so you could pay real cash... and get items... that was pretty lame, but I can see where theyre coming from... everyone needs to make money. THEN they decided to change it for the worse. NOW you can use your in-game gold to buy things, but only for time periods... if you want to keep items, you need to pay real cash. Can you say lame?
I dont trust theyve gotten any smarter in Rakion... and yeah, that one person who ruins the channel is just stupid. They need to learn to fix their network code. They had bad network code for Gunbound as well
Rakion didn't work for me >_< something about the video card. My friends who have played it though, said the game kinda sucked, so w/e =T
I love this game. Its really really fun. RPG + some kind of Jedi Knight series games. If u are good u can beat any opponent much higher in lvl than u.
The only bad thing are the lack of "Stages" and maybe some kind of "capture the flag" or another game option. Also at higher lvl the items are only for p2p players. And sometimes the ping restriction system its frustrating.
