4STORY
Developer(s): Int Zemi ( http://www.zemiinc.com/ )
Publisher(s): Gameforge AG ( http://us.gameforge.com/home/index )
PLOT:
4Story takes place in the lands of Iveria. There happens to be three kingdoms of Iveria who are all blessed by Rea the goddess of creation. These kingdoms are Nation of Bravery Soldiers, DeFugel - Nation of Mysterious Magics, Craxion and Nation of Strong Troops, Broa.
There has always been a conflict in between these three kingdoms. The problem was the secret the land itself hid within its soil thousands of years ago and long lost forgotten.
You take on the role of the hero who surpasses space and time throughout the story and come to an understanding and revealing the real truth behind all of this conflict that seems endless.
4Story is instead of story deriving you, instead you shape the story itself and tell the audience how it was in the beginning and how it will be in the future.
CLASSES:
There are 6 main classes in 4Story. The game is based on a classical setup of mechanics of a regular mmorpg as in classes. Such as you will be seeing tank, healer, support and damage dealers.
WARRIOR:
Type: Tank, Damage Dealer (Melee)
Weapon: One and Two-handed swords, Axes, Bows and Crossbows
Armor: Chain Armor, Plated Armor and Shields (Off-hand for tanking)
First of all, warriors are either the first line of attack or first line of defense depending on their set of skills and equipment. Offensive specced warriors carry around two-handed swords which can dish out tons of damage to the enemy to take down the opponent fast enough while can take up some beating. On the other hand Defensive warriors which prefer one-handed swords and a shield on their off-hand are the masters of protection. They can take all the beating and still have the chance to be the last man standing on the battlefield. Down side is they dont deal a lot of damage but the good thing is that they dont have to as long as they protect the ones that can do that and keep them alive.
EVOCATOR:
Type: Damage Dealer (Ranged)
Weapon: Rods, Magic Wands and Ganthas
Armor: Leather and Hard Leather Armor
To set a reference point, Evocators work quite similar to Warlocks in World of Warcraft. They have the power to open op portals to summon powerful creatures (elementals) to work as their pet during the combat. They have abilities such as life leach to heal themselves on the battlefield. Another powerful spell set that evocator can use is the crowd control skills that can be very helpful for his allies to take down enemies without too much problem.
MAGICIAN:
Type: Damage Dealer (Ranged)
Weapon: Canes, Magic and Ganthas
Armor: Material Armor and Light Armor
Magicians are the main damage dealing casters in 4Story. They have the ability to manipulate elementals which give them the power to use fire and ice magic spells. Due to their armor type and low physical power, they usually take place at the far back of the group dealing damage from a safe distance.
ARCHER:
Type: Damage Dealer (Ranged)
Weapon: Bows, Crossbows, Daggers, One and Two-handed Swords
Armor: Leather and Hard Leather Armor
Archers are the masters of Bow fighting. Although they are not as weak as you think they would in close range combat; when equipped with a Bow or a Crossbow, Archer shines through the damage he deals from a long range. As an addition to that them being agile fighters, it is quite hard to get a hit on them in the midst of the battle
NIGHT WALKER:
Type: Damage Dealer (Melee)
Weapon: Daggers, One-handed swords, Chakrams, Bow, Crossbow
Armor: Leather and Hard Leather Armor
Night Walker is the rogue/assassin class in 4Story. They are best if they can not be seen by the enemy and has the opening attack on the opponent. Once they are discovered, they tend to be weaker on the attacks but if a night walker catches an enemy off guard, they won`t even know what hit them before they are dead. Other than deadly sneak attacks, Night Walker also happens to have some tricks up his sleeves that would have the impact of misdirection.
PRISEST:
Type: Healer and Support, Damge Dealer (Ranged)
Weapon: Rods, Magical Staffs and Ganthas
Armor: Fabric Armor and Light Armor
Priests are the healer class, and they are the only ones that can possibly support their allies in that sense. Although they are mostly seen as healers, they can be very deadly if chosen to be played as damage dealers. They use dark magic to cast devastating spells on the enemy but due to their nature, priests usually go for the light magic and keep their allies alive and safe on the battlefield.
