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.

Rakion patch adds even more features

I’m a sucker for action games, especially when it lets me shoot the crap out of my enemies. I’ve recently taken a fancy for the locally-hosted Rakion, which lets me do just that—shoot the crap out of other players.

The game isn’t quite like GunZ: The Duel because in Rakion, there’s a certain level of strategy involved when you try to unleash some of your deadly projectiles. For one, you can’t just unload an obscene amount of arrows at your target. You have to time your shots and it can be insane at times, especially when you’re fighting a Ninja character that can’t seem to keep still because there’s something stuck up its rear end.

Well, things are going to get a bit more interesting because as of yesterday, Mobius Games and Softnyx rolled out a new patch across Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. And you know what? It comes with new features that could change the way Rakion is played. Know the details after the jump.

Potions
The most important feature is the introduction of potions. Rakion players now experience a significant change in the game system. For instance:

• Health or Armor Potions – Potions allow the player to recover lost Health/Armor points. In maps where there are no health power-ups available, players with potions would end up lasting longer than others.
• Chaos Potion – This grants the user 1 Chaos point allowing players to use their chaos power 1 or 2 kills ahead of the others.
• Fear Potion – A potion that causes an AoE effect, preventing other players from ganging-up on you.
• Stimpack – This provides the player with more attack power; however, Health is sacrificed to activate.
• Cell Point – This supplies the player with cell points which allows the ability to summon their creatures faster than other players.
• Scout – A skill that allows the player to view their opponents Heath, thus providing advantage in picking out the weaker players.

Collectible Armor Set
This patch is the first series of event patches that would allow players the chance to obtain Rare Elementals Armor. These limited Elementals Armor set enhance a player’s attack power and are only acquired by gaining “Party Points” in game.

Chaos Party Event
In Team Game Modes, Event rounds will randomly appear where players will be able to collect Party Points, which can be used to exchange for a piece of the Elemental Set. Event rounds will reward the winning team +5 Party Points, while the losing team gets +1 Party Point. Players must collect as much Party Points as they can in the fastest time, as only a limited number of players will be allowed to exchange their Party Points for a much coveted piece of the Elementals Set.

New Player Bonuses
Now is the best time to create a new character and experiment with a new build. Players powering up from level 1-30 get more gold at every power-up equivalent to 1,000 gold x the level they increase, allowing new Rakion players to purchase gear faster. This will be available, only, during the promo event period.

Purchase Promo
Users who top up their accounts with Rakion Cash will receive additional Gold and Party Points purchased within the promo period.

50 ePoints >1,300 Rakion Cash will get you 1,000 Gold and 10 Party Points
100 ePoints >3,000 Rakion Cash will get you 3,000 Gold and 30 Party Points
350 ePoints >12,000 Rakion Cash will get you 15,000 Gold and 150 Party Points

Now excuse me, I’d like to shoot the crap out of my enemies.
