Rakion patch adds even more features

Mobius and Softnyx yesterday rolled out “From Dusk till Dawn,” across Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. No, it’s not that old George Clooney vampire flick. From Dusk till Dawn is a new Rakion patch that adds new features to the online action game.

No, you’re not doing a take-two. If you remember seeing a new Rakion patch earlier this month, be aware that this one is an even newer patch for October alone. The surprising part: both companies are promising to release a new patch every couple of weeks or so.

Get a load of the new features that’s added:

Character Preview
This feature comes in the form of a preview window that displays each of Rakion’s five playable characters. You’ll see a brief description, strengths, and weaknesses to help new players decide what character they’d be more comfortable playing and help more seasoned players decide on their playing styles.

Invite Button
This nifty new button lets room masters invite people in one click. Invited players can choose to either accept or reject an invitation by clicking on the appropriate button on their invitation window. Because they were invited, players can also enter password-protected rooms without having to provide a password.

New Ex-Items
The Stage Reset item resets all stages you had previously cleared, allowing you to set new records, earn gold and experience points all over again. The Level Limit Disabler, on the other hand, clears any level limit in all stages. Both items can only be used once and will only affect the character you use to buy it with. The Level Limit Disabler lasts up to 24 hours upon purchase.

Discount Coupons
You can use discount coupons for gold and cash transactions in the Rakion shop. Players level 30 and below can expect a randomly-generated coupon, which can be either cash or gold, in their inventory upon levelling up. Frequent shoppers also have a chance to receive a coupon, which they can use to purchase items from the Rakion shop.

New Events

Golem GM event
In Golem War mode, two teams of players go up against each other in a bid to defeat the other team’s Golem, found on either end of a game map. In the Golem GM event, the Golden Golem will be replaced by a Golem with the face of a Softnyx GM in random Event rounds during a match. The player who successfully defeats the Golem GM gets a randomly-generated item. The player also has a chance to receive a piece of the collectible Elemental Armor Set. Aside from the obvious bragging rights, the player gets to see his or her name in a server-wide announcement.

Stage Game Level Delimiter event
Players can choose to participate in the Stage Game Level Delimiter event, where they can play any stage regardless of level for free, with each event lasting 24 hours from first log-in. Remaining hours can be checked through the time trackers, visible from channel windows and game rooms.

Chaos Reborn event
An advantage players love to look forward to in Death Match games is the Chaos mode, where their character changes appearance and becomes stronger after a certain number of kills. In the Chaos Reborn event, players randomly switch into Chaos mode during Death Solo and Death Team Play modes.
