I had a spare beta code key to give away, and the recipient of that code key has sent me a great write-up of the game. Here it is:I`ve played a Ranger [ Dual-Daggers ] up to level 20. I did try the other Classes but only got up to lvl 10 so far , (Maestia)so I cant really comment on those.
First things first , I am very impressed by the Game.
Graphics: They are overall good , characters are well animated , but the Trees look like they are made of Paper. That makes them look so out-of-place sometimes its not even funny.[ P.S. I do have the Game all Maxed Out ]
Characters: The Customization Options at the beginning are pretty slim. You have the option of around 4 Faces , 6-7 Hair Styles , 3 Tattoos , color option for Hair and Skin and last Height and Weight. However you cannot customize your Body Parts individually which is kinda bad , because the Head of almost all Classes seems to be so much smaller then the Body they are attached to.
Skills: Each Classes has a good variety of skills , though in the beginning you only have 1 , around lvl 10 or so you end up with quite a decent number of Skills. I could easily say that , that`s the point when you can actually see what your Class is capable of.
There are 5 Main Attributes : Constitution , Strength , Dexterity , Intelligence and Wisdom. What each does is pretty much self-explanatory . I do hove to say though that when you do put in your 5 Stat Points that you get each level , you are actually shown the Effect they will have on your Character before you hit the Confirm button. That way you can play around with the Stats and make sure you are getting what you want out of them.
Starting with Level 25 you get 1 Talent Point each level. Each Class has 2 Paths based on your Weapon. Both Trees are huge and both culminate in a very powerful Skill. [ available around lvl 74 I think :P ]
As you lvl you unlock Maestone Skills slots. [ 3 Active and 6 Passive , though 2 of the Passives can only be unlocked through the Cash Shop ] The easiest way to explain the Maestone Skills would be to tell you that they are exactly like the Stigma Skills in AION.[ its a direct copy more or less , (Maestia gold)hell even most of the Class Skills are "called , animated " the same as AION ]
