    Question What Problems Do You Think That "The Chronicles of Spellborn" Have?

    These are mine:

    1. Spawn rates of mobs or even a lot more mobs, it's pain in the *** waiting around for a mob to spawn and then someone else coming and taking it just before you get your first hit on the monster which means if you help kill it the kill does not get credited to your quest.

    2. See above, because some of these kill quests can take you a good hour or more to complete.

    3. Speaking with NPCs, sometimes you need to click on the NPC a few times before the dialogue pops up; the same with some quest items.

    4. No waypoints, quest markers -- not until you get really close -- etc.


    So, what problems do you think are annoying?

    no one of your "probs" are in the EU version.Lol spawn rate dont suck.I think the US version is just full with newcomers and the spawn rate cant handle them.I think we have enough spellborn threads..we dont need them all ^^

    Well, I may take all of the problems that people post and post it to one thread on the official forum unless someone here beats me to it.

    Exactly what fenix40k said. When you'll get to Aldenvault you'll see how it really looks like.
    3. Speaking with NPCs, sometimes you need to click on the NPC a few times before the dialogue pops up; the same with some quest items.
    Just get close enough to NPC and hold right click for 0.5 sec. I've never had problems with that oO
    4. No waypoints, quest markers -- not until you get really close -- etc.
    Well, this game offers you a great storyline and world. Many quests are immersive such as "Finding Razkam", or other quests like that. Giving you an arrow where to go will ruin it, all you need to do is read quest and try to figure it on your own.

    I don't know much about The Chronicles of Spellborn.
    F2P limited that means its a P2P game , IMO its good enough to have a 15$ charge but whatever ( i might get flamed for this lol) , Indeed the game have flaws but its atleast unique in a way.

    I love this game so much. It's so different, from the combat system to the art style and setting. It just feels fresh. The spawn rate is fine, the starting area is just flooded with people at the moment.

    my only complain it's the price, I'm already paying for two other mmorpgs I consider to be better, if they lowered the price then I would cancel either WAR or WoW and play spellborn for sure

    what the point ? if you cancel one its 15$ less and you can put it into Spellborn , if you can pay 2 mmo , you can cancel one and still pay for both that will make the same monthly fee your are paying with WoW and War

    You cannot blame acclaim for that, it is because it is released here in the eu by the official developers, they have it f2p till 7, acclaim cannot change that.


    Yet for me, nothing is wrong.
    Yet for all of you, you have no service.

    The only problem is that acclaim is a bunch of greedy basterds.

    and what's the point of cancelling one of the two obviously better games for another that its run by acclaim and have no good comments or prospects whatsoever?, I don't like to throw my money so easily, you know, 15 dollars here in venezuela translate to 60 bolivares which are in fact 30 dollars in the devaluation scale, just, no thanks

    This is why you're able to play Spellborn up to fame level 7, and figure out by yourself if Spellborn is a game you're interested in.

    Open beta in this very case means "game is released but you can find some bugs, so don't be mad, it's open beta!"

    A real Open Beta would not have a level cap...!

    exactly, that's why I think this game it's not worth the 15$ compared to games I considered better like WAR or WoW, if it was lower perhaps I would give it chance, but right now, no way, same with Darkfall, no way I'll be paying 15$ for such unfinished product when I have better games to pay up for

    Well i can't even friggin login. Keeps saying "Id/password incorrect" and if it doesn't say that, it says "disconnected from the login server." Acclaim is a horrible company and should not host this game. I doubt i will spend my money on it anyway. They don't even have a CC payment yet. You have to buy coins and use those to get playtime. Thing is you can't buy $15 worth of coins. You have to buy $20 worth and have leftovers which is stupid.

    I don't understand. You can try it for free and give it a chance without losing any $ while you have to be lucky to pay 50 euro for Darkfall to try it.
    Also, you should first try game before saying if it's worth it or not.

    And yes, this thing with Acclaim coins and subscription is pissing me off.

    So, what problems do you think are annoying?
    My biggest grievance...

    Once you get to higher levels it can take you up to about 14 hours of walking around just to gain a level once you reach audenvault.

    There's a reason that level 7 is the level cap for f2p >_>;

    you have the europe one just go to the spellborn eu site
    register and you'll be in game in no time. and wondering why did I download this game!
    in answer to the thread topic:
    I hate the questing, fails, the game play, fails, and the character development, fails. everything else is for the graphs - nice.

    OBT doesn't have enough information for us to survey and from what I have seen the price ($15) should be lowered as well.

    comeon, its all common sense, no one should slap a $15 monthly fee on ANY games which is not without a huge fanbase/lore in the first place during times like this. Yeah maybe you will get quite some players paying to get further in the game in the first 2-3months, but a MMO is a long-term thing, now its just like the publishers are wanting to make a quick buck to pay off the bills before thinking what to do next.

    the students most probably won't pay, those with spare cash would probably be paying one of the more popular p2p mmo or spending on f2p cash shop, while those who are working full time will most probably saving up during these times. People will also most probably spend sparingly on a f2p cash shop rather than committing a fixed monthly sum.

    gameplay wise, nothing's really unique or crowd drawing
