Hangame optimizes the character's attack ability by upgrading the three second jobs of Shaman: Taoists and Illusionists that are good at close combat, Elementalists that are capable of using summoning skills to launch onslaught. 102 kinds of skills are added in the meantime. Through this comprehensive update, Shamans have also been modified in terms of the overall attack ability, physical strength and other aspects.

The update content includes:
1. New class stances are added into the character's actions while waiting for the game start.
2. Magical attacks and diverse summoning skills are enhanced greatly.
3. A large number of representative class skills are added, such as [Spook Cyclone] and [Arrow Shower].

Additionally, new skills can be used after players press their corresponding buttons once. The hotkey bar is enlarged from 10 keys to 17 ones, which brings more convenience for players.

The product manager of C9 said, "Various attack skills shooting at reinforcing character features have been added through this update. Players are allowed to choose any class according to their preference. After the Shaman's skills are modified, it hasn't been decided yet when to update more new content besides the skills, please stay tuned!"

woot very interesting stuff ... can't wait to test it

its arcade style btw,same like blade and soul and w3k

no click on enemies :)

Witchblade, the forth class of C9, is a charming female Witchblade with tempting curve and distance in her eyes. She not only has powerful energy using her ice-cold and sexy charm to overwhelm the enemies, but also excellent battle effectiveness using both magic and sword.

In addition, C9 also introduces the secondary job of Witchblade, besides unleashing the image of female character. Players need to reach a certain level so that they can further choose from secondary job. Witchblade has three secondary jobs, they are Warden who is able to exert pre-eminent power by using magic in middle-distance combat, Slayer who is good at close battle for quick action and prominent sword skill, as well as Night Rogue (translated).

Recently, ARPG C9, developed by NHN, has updated
the top-class game content, the 'Hell Mode' system, for
high-level players.



Quests in Hell Mode which is the
highest difficulty in C9 will offer rare armor sets unreachable in any other dungeons
and quests. Thus it will be quite attractive for high-level players and
new challenges are waiting for them to take.


Fighter


Hunter


Shaman


Witch Blade
To challenge the Hell Mode, players have to collect
20 "Demon Debrises" (literally translated) dropped from BOSSes and then
find NPCs in the second and third continent to exchange the debrises
for the ticket to the Hell Mode dungeon. Only a team composed of four Lv
50+ players can enter this mode.

In this update, C9 will unveil several new areas for the
first time, including the "Runard City" (literally translated), the
lair of monsters that can launch strong attacks with their fists though
lumbering; and the "Obello Habitat" (literally translated) where shamans
can be seen everywhere and will heal BOSSes at any time, and quests are
more difficult.



The Hell Mode will also introduce a "repeated quest
counter system". With the system, the more times players play the game,
the higher scene proficiency they will gain, and it'll grant attack
bonus based on the quantity of monsters players kill in each scene.

Doesn't look special at all tbh. Glorified and more refined battle system of warriors of 3 kingdoms (or was it war of the 3 kingdoms). Didn't show anything but that combat system which gets very repetitive. Does make for nice pvp though.

i am not really interested also ^^

but its pretty nice i guess

this actually looks pretty decent i love the skills and the overall combat ;3

About three weeks ago, Kim Da Yil
handed in his resignation to NHN Games for some unknown reason. Insiders in the
South Korean game industry guessed that it might be due to the different
opinions held by Kim Da Yil and his employer. From R.Y.L Online to C9, most
projects, of which Kim Da Yil acted as the leading developer, have
gained success. Maybe, Kim Da Yil just couldn't agree upon the future
development plan with NHN Games, which led to his thought of quit. It's
even possible that Kim Da Yil has planned to set up his own company.

The projects, which NHN's product manager Kim Da Yil
once worked on, mainly include R.Y.L Online, R2 and C9.

NHN Games tries to make Kim Da Yil, who knows the
operation of C9 very well, understand that no one can take over his
position if he quits. The representative Kim Pyong Kuan is also
discussing whether to accept Kim Da Yil's resignation.



Kim Da Yil has become well-known since he worked on the
development of R.Y.L Online for GamaSoft in Feb.,
2002. He entered NHN in Aug., 2003, and served as one of the developers
of R2 and C9, attracting lots of attention. Particularly, in Korea Game
Awards 2009, C9 was granted 5 great awards and Kim Da Yil was also
crowned as an "Excellent Developer".







Kim Da Yil's resignation, which has been spread fast,
also influences C9 players' attitudes. Some players worry that C9's
operation will be interrupted. At present, the game cannot satisfy
players' demands for updated content. Meanwhile, the new class Witch
Blade and the Hell Mode that were introduced not long ago also fail to
achieve a very positive response.



According to NHN, though it's Kim Da Yil who took charge
of C9's development, the planning director responsible for the
practical affairs and the core developers are still working earnestly.
So, there'll be no problem in the game's operation. What's more, they're
also working on the game's updates for the rest of this year.

the heck?

Read through all the stuff for B&S and C9, and I currently prefer what has been displayed in B&S also ^.^;
Don't get me wrong, C9 look like a good game for a F2P, just from watching the videos its already become a little repetative ^.^; Probably because they repeated the moves multiple times in a row on same enemies? Not too sure if thats much of a valid reason. Anyways :3 Ya'll have fun with this if you are, I'll just wait for FF or B&S

am w8 only for C9 and btw its not sure if it f2p btw ?

have look for info but most are rummers

I thought some of the people here were already playing the Korean version and that it had been F2P thus far? o.o
