Rant to Softnyx #2

[EAGLEGOLFER]

I just had my second rant to Softnyx:

This is a reccomendation from a loyal member of Rakion. I bought Power User before this new patch so I was able to redo my stats and also so I could add my stats as this was before one of the latest patches. But along with this latest patch, Softnyx added the Longbow and Soul Cannon as only Cash Creatures. This is crap. Most people were looking forward to being able to use these cells, but then you also make it so they are most expensive cash inventory object. $20 US for a game object? CRAP!!! I think you should make it available for just gold, but make it equal amounts in gold, or just slightly more, but at least allow regular players to obtain these cells. Please.



If you guys want to see if you can also get these new cells without paying cash for them, just re use this email or change it to fit your opinion. But I say we boycott this.

I'll post my reply from softnyx when I get it.

I agree, this is crap! If I want 3 soul cannons I have to shell out over 60 bucks for a few bytes of data! Who in the right mind would do that? Unless of course your only aim is to piss off others who can't afford them. The long bows are rediculous too. They cost $30+ for a set of three. I would have hoped that people wouldn't pay for such crap, but just yesterday I was owned by some Aesir mage, just cause he bought 3 longbows. They are rediculous, with their homing arrows and crap. I would like to have them, but I can't afford them. I can barely afford power user (I'm still debating whether or not to buy it). Actually I was pretty certain I would buy power user, until this patch came out. It just didn't seem right to buy it after this patch came out. I didn't like it one bit. And did you see that they didn't actually extend player slots or inventory, but make you buy it through an ex item? Thats lame. They should tell the truth in their patch descriptions. Something like, "We will be adding Longbow and Soul Cannon, and expanding character slots and inventory, only if you shell out lots of dough!"

My word! This does tick me off quite a bit. Thank you for reminding me how lame Rakion can be. I think I will email them. Can you give me their email address? I'm seeing too much red to go look it up myself.

XTowers, all you do is go to rakion.net, sign in and then go to Customer Care and then Mail Q&A. Then go to Rakion and pick any of the options for what your email refers to and then go to (on the list) None Apply. Then have at it.

I also only have 5 days of Power User left, and I'm debating getting it because now with the patch it takes half of the point of keeping it, but I like the 50% more exp and also the 5 kills for chaos instead of 6.

[Xtowers]

Ok, mail sent. I hope they respond soon.

I understand why people are upset with the new patch but think about this from Rakion's point of view. First off the game was made for bussiness reasons and like anything else there has to be a profit margin. Since the game is an Online MMORPG it requires a Deticaded Server and employees to maintain it. Also the game requirews constant programing to fix glitches and such. On top of that becuase the game itself is free cash items must be made for profit and to keep it up and running. Yes Soul Cannons and Longbows are pricey and I feel that they are to expensive but honestly its probally b/c its the only way they can cover the cost. Majority of bussiness' keep there prices as low as they can b/c selling more is better than selling a few. Besides if enough people complain about the priceing then sales will go down so naturally Rakion will drop prices b/c the customer is always right. My advice is to write Rakion about the cost as some of you are doing but remember it is a bussiness and you should think about where there coming from before you start cursing, losing sleep, or boycotting.

The Reply:

Dear $$$$$ #######,

Thank you for your good suggestion. We will consider it in our upgrade plan.

Thank you for your continuous love and support for Softnyx.

Yours Sincerely,
Softnyx Customer Care


Now I'm interested in this "upgrade plan".

I think they should have slightly weaker Soul Cannons and Longbows that cost gold not cash for people who don't pay. Pretty much like they have with Golems, Panzers, and Blazers except minus Power User part I think thats a fair solution.

the strongest monster i can buy now is a Blazer
and they cost 10000 each
i dont have PU, cause im too young to handle with that
so its quite impossible for me to ever get those new monsters
10k gold is a lot when u dont have pu

[darkrz]

i would advise u to get pu then =/ one month will bring u to lvl 35, if ur good enuff. i did that with a month of pu anyway =)

I don't like blazers. I like my panzers. Especially those assault panzers I won from the easter event. They are so good at hitting people.

[Senne]

well darkrz, im 15 years old.. i cant just use paypal
i asked my parents, but they always say no cause 'its just a game'
heh.. but hey, i got to lvl 19 without pu
thats good enough for me

also, i can always hope i could win the monthly pu raffle or something

[Xtowers]

Or you can do the recommender event. You get more exp with that.

[EAGLEGOLFER]

Hey X, did you ever get a reply? or was it the same thing I got? Also, if you did send an email, what was the wording of it?

[Xtowers]

I haven't gotten a reply back, and I'm not sure if I will at this point. The mail I sent was a copy of the very first post I made in this thread. I didn't feel like making a new one. XD

[Senne]

so u can send emails to rakion about the game?
if i knew how or if someone would do it for me then
i would write say that some stages are litterally impossible to make or even get S

you'd probably say that they are possible to defeat, but thats only when u have PU and some strong golems
