In the death, he dissapears, because thats what he does in the game, too. he does a step backwards before dissapearing if you couldn't notice :p

attacks are named in the order in wich they were made, but I thought this order suited better. feel free to play around with it yourself >_<. remember to also edit the sounds when you do.

for those who know him, suit isn't exactly it, this is the closest I could get...

he is supposed to be a pirate... an undead pirate O_o.

oh well, ENJOY!

I'll call him McStabby...You're really getting better at these. :goodjob:

So, I saw the title.. Zaken. And thought to myself, WTF is a Zaken? Then I thought, must be one of ruby`s units :D

Looks great!

So, I saw the title.. Zaken. And thought to myself, WTF is a Zaken?That's exactly what I thought too :lol:
As fir the unit... he seems a little shy in the attack: small moves, little footsteps... maybe he's afraid of getting cut by one of all these swords ;)

yeah well, he mainly lets his swords do the work ^.^

but yeah, I didn't really want to let anything get of-screen, as the 100*100 frame seems nice for this kind of unit. also, this is the first swordsman unit i did >_<

yeah, well, couldn't really find a generic name, so I just took his actual name :p

Me too, as soon as I saw there was a new post in the units forum called a "zaken", I knew it must be Ruby sauce!

And I must admit I've really become a fan of your work. Great job!

Flippin' heck! You know the sources behind some pretty innovative units!

:thumbsup:

ruby, you wouldn`t happen to be a final fantasy playah, would you? :mischief:

Congratulations on another Novel Unit ruby_sause :goodjob:

ruby, you wouldn`t happen to be a final fantasy playah, would you? :mischief:

only a recent one :p. played 10, 10-2 and 12...

and finished them, btw

Looks great. Really crazy with all those swords, but would be a fun unit to use. Good job.:goodjob:

I love it. :D Your units would make perfect easter eggs...

I should make an easter bunny unit...

though I don't know how to make bunnies with correct movement and skeletons and stuff :p

I'll just stick to what I CAN do... like this unit :p

Wow, you're getting alot better with these. Its very cool.

So what's his recommended attack/defense values?
With all those swords, he must be in the stratosphere!
Nice work.

Zaken is an undead Pirate King located in the Pirat Isle south of Giran, he is a level 60 EPIC Boss, in Lineage II, defended by an army of undead pirates.

EPIC Bosses in lineage II are almighty which means basicly that most of them requieres an army to be beaten, Zaken is madeable by about 40 people, while bosses such as antharas early game cannot be beaten unless handed over by around 120 people+

hm, I play on another server

where zaken can be beaten with 1 titan, 1 bishop and 1 warcryer

and I see vids on internet with alot of noobie chars, while titabns will doo fine. can you explain why noone uses titans in those vids?

Because highrate=/=lowrate, you will never EVER kill zaken with titans on a lowrate, you need 2 parties of 6x SH's supported with 2 tanks, to block zaken off, since he ports out people around hes ship, and 1 tank just wont do, while he . .. .. .. .ing runs around ALOT, so its impossible to . .. .. .. . him up with frenzy, cus` even with maxed out p.attack hes dps is still lower then any SH [for newbies - DPS= Damage Per Second]

But whatever, if your killing him with 1 titan, 1 bishop and 1 warcryer somethings DEFINITELY wrong >.> or its just some kind of a x500 serv or whatever

hm

yeah I just don't like retail, I play on a x30 server now...

oh well...

Wait. Undead pirates? Zombie Pirates? What about ninjas?

Is Lineage playable solo, meaning without having to team up with other people? I`m not much of a multiplayer kinda guy..

:nono: Storm doesn't play well with the other children. :p

The ork likes to go it alone. :nya:

:nono: Storm doesn't play well with the other children. :p

Probably cos 99% of "other children" on the internet are creatures amazingly resembling trolls.. ;)

Guild Wars is quite playable solo, you get AI Henchmen and Heros that actually know what they are doing most of the time.. I was just wondering if that is possible with Lineage..

Sorry for continuing the OT, but I have to agree with you Stormrage.
I've played FFXI for so long because it takes way too long to play solo or in small parties. I usually just try to do things solo or with my brother or one of our friends. My biggest, and pretty much only, complaint with FFXI is that it requires you to play with too many "other children", and some quests absolutely cannot be beat without the aid of at least 5 other people, sometimes much more. It can be very trying on the patience to deal with some of the personalities you encounter while just trying to have fun playing a game.

Again, sorry for the OT. As I posted above, the unit looks great.:)

And its hard to Role Play a Medieval Fantasy, with all the LOL-ing, OMG-ing and LMAO-ing around.. :crazyeye:

LOL! Dat 'minds meh ov da tiem dis guy was liek ROFL and LMAO. 'E was a crazie 'umie.

At least everybody is saying that instead of PAZZA! But the best things happen when you get "cross-players" like Travis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSZUWAUKsP4&feature=related)

Mind the foul language.

You roleplay...

U better not start playing L2 :<

I`m not a hardcore roleplayer, but the things I mentioned just ruin it. RPG`s are meant to be singleplayer games.. cos they affect your imagination much more than.. say, Counterstrike or whatever. And its very hard to find someone with similar imagination.. Anyway, enough threadjacking, sorry Ruby.

Do you plan to make anymore Lineage units? :)

I remember some back wanted to make a L2 Mod but it failed due to the lack of units, the guy even made a whole map ~.~

P.S- RPG aint MMORPG, its obvious that at some point its much better to play jRPG's if u wanna work with the imagination, but imo.. if you wanna play with your mind the best would be a cardboard game like Dungeon & Dragons not a computer one.

I would love to see more L2 Units on the other hand, they should be extremelly hard to be made, and i could give various info and help/screens for those if needed.

I can't seem to find any RPG where I can just sit back and role play anymore :'(

Great unit, Ruby! You do come up with fantastical niche units!
