On February 2, 2012, Webzen opened the doors of one of their newest title for the Media, the Continent of the Ninth Seal. The press had the chance to play the game for their VIP Testing as VVIP. Webzen is allowing the Global players to enjoy the game without any IP Block. As of February 4, 2012, thousands of players who got selected for the VIP Testing were able to explore the game. There's also some exciting events that awaits them during the VIP Test. In the few days of playing here's what we can say about the game, so off to the review shall we?
Continent of the Ninth Seal initially offers us three playable classes which are the Fighter, Shaman and Hunter. The fighter focuses on Health and Power and they are basically the close combat melee class. Fighter's advanced classes are the Warrior, Guardian and Blade Master. The warrior is a pretty balanced class on the fighter tree in terms of defensive and offensive plus, they can go solo as well. Guardian focuses more on its defensive attributes. They use sword and shield for their skills. Blade Master is the offensive advance of the fighter class. They can either use a one-handed sword or a huge two-handed sword which deals more damage.
The Hunter class is based on Control Difficulty, Intelligence and an ample amount of Power. They can either be in close combat or in range through their bow. By choosing a hunter, you will have the options to advance to an Assassin, Ranger or Scout. Assassin excels in their stealth mode and quick attacks. The ranger class is based on some elemental ranged attacks while the scouts are into physical ranged attacks but both of them have a decent speed. Shamans are the spell caster that also use their staff to do melee attacks and is geared towards the path of Wisdom and Intelligence. They can either choose to be an Elementalist, Illusionist or Taoist for their advanced class. Elementalist has the ability to fly and use their elemental powers to summon elemental creatures to also deal more damage. Taoists are the master of martial arts and deals massive damage with their staff while the Illusionists are the magical class with a very decent attack range.
Unfortunately, these classes are gender locked wherein we can only have a female character for the Shaman and male character for the Hunter and Fighter. The character creation offers us a wide range of stuff that can be customized. There are some presets that we could use for our character. The preset for the shaman class is quite impressive. You can actually customize your character's height, head shoulder, chest, waist, arms, legs, hands and feet. In addition to that, you can also tweak some details and style of your face which really looks cool. The hunter character presets are more of Asian K-pop look while the fighter presets are those types of barbaric builds with very strong personality and apparently hunter and fighter appearances are totally different.
