Will any of the competitors, like AoC or WAR, have a combat system that is as much fun or even comes close to what is possible in Spellborn? Probably not. So why are many so unaware about this fantastic game on this site?

I think AoC will have a good Combat System too. The first "interesting system" (for me) I heard about was this one, after, AoC and the usual click and hit of WaR. Also, there is the "FPS" style of tabula rasa and Hellgate.

Diversity is a good thing :)

Im still remember when AoC was delayed and I suggested "ey perhaps war can be delayed too..." and some "forum mates" were a bit "rude" trying to make me understand that I was wrong and what I was saying couldn't happen ummm... every game can be delayed, what devs will say? that surely you can have it in 3 months, means, that you will have to wait one or two years... Im not an "expert" in all this things but, from my experience, this happens :) if this will make WaR a better game, I preffer to wait before (like atari did with nwn2) get an unfinished game.

Surelly they will add things over time, and you get the beneffits they bring you over this time (cause you paid for this) and, if you stop paying, you hold the ones you got but you get no more bennefits.

Of course, Im just guessing what, not sure about it.

oh cmon you all could of guessed this question would come up.

So whats the first new class you could see. So What could you see for each race?

 

Templar- A Two hander Class , dealing big heavy hits.

Cabalist- A Transforming class, changing into demons rather then controling.

Hunter- One that specializes in explosions and traps(let down a C4 charge, round up a group, return to spot, and BOOOOM!)

Think that the cabalist you talk about was already planned, and I was very interested on it, so, surely they will bring it with for the subs or in the nearly expansion that is comming.

From what I have seen and read.  It isnt really an MMORPG in the sense of what most folks currently play (WOW, EQ, DAOC, ect ect).  Looks more like a DIABLO style game that got some suped up Battlenet grouping interface in the late stages of development to try and trick more players into getting the game

its not a mmorpg like wow, its like GW: You got "cities" where you find other players, and instances where you go with selected players, like City of Heroes, Guildwars and some instances of WoW. So its not a "real" mmorpg, its more a Cooperative Rpg.

I am really ripped about this game

I wanted to play Hellgate - because i need a CASUAL online rpg.

If i pay subscription fees - i feel COMPELED to play - if i pay monthly subscription and i play a game only 2-3 times a month , i cancel the sub. This is why i liked GW , i never felt compeled to play and i still play it , if i feel like it.

 

But FS/EA went out their way to makeplaying Hellgate online withouth subscription useless even for super casual players ...

I mean forcing non sub players to play it only on easy mode ?

This will automatically bar you from joining any group ... let alone make the game totaly boring...

 

Oh well

I really do not know what to say. I will wait for release, and than wait for first experiences from non-sub players, and than i will decide if its worth it ...

 

 

 

 

 

Just 1 thing. You say that it will be "easy mode", but, it wouldnt, it will be "NORMAL" mode. Cause the hardcore mode you will have only 1 live, and you can join guilds, not create them, not manage them, but, if you are super-casual, its ok, isnt? also, you will have acces to skills and all the content not but, some events and some "extra" things, but this dont means they force you.

So its not a "normal version" for people who pay, and a "limited version" for the ones that dont do it. Really is a "normal version" for the people that pay for the game but not fee, and extra version, like if you paying for expansion, for subs.

1) Has no US release plans.

2)  Has delayed beta longer than most game development cycles

3) Has absolutely no developer communication.

This forum reminds me a lot of DnL before it came out.  Don't get me wrong, I think the ideas in this game look fantastic, but like AoC, TCoS will fail due to it's real time combat, I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of lag that will be produced with hit boxes and aiming in an MMORPG, with today's technology, it simply cannot be done, look at EVE online for example.

Someone prove me wrong, but this forum reeks of naive gamers getting strung along by a not-so transparent development team that is working on a game that has ZERO release plans for the USA.

so you are saying that the game will fail cause it gots a Real time combat system? ummm, and games like Guild Wars that NEEDS a real good ping (cause the interruption and the casting skills are less than 1 sec) or the FPS, or Hellgate or... I think this is not a good reason, we need new things, and there is people that when they see this "new" things get scared, and say "this will fail". Im not with you I think this, and aoc, will help the community to get another step ahead in a market where everything is the same, personally Im tired of click and hit, griding and Diablo "copy paste".

Your intentions can be good but, seems like a flaming post and, surely, it will be banned or something like this. Perhaps you need something else than "inmature" or "mature" point of view to post something like this.

No

I played the demo of this game and I have to say that I don't see what the big deal is. The game play is stale and repetitve. I'd play it as a free to play game, but there's no way in hell I'd pay any amount of money as a monthly fee.

And what's the deal with all the ads? Do the ads go away if you pay?

This game has so much hype surounding it, and the hype is not justified.

Cant understand why people say is "stale and repettive" and surely are grinding like crazy in a click & point game!

Of course everyone is free to like one thing o another, but, just saying I dont understand why they found this "repetitive" when it changes everymap, and, seriously, cant find where is the relationship with dungeon runners...

i have been in beta for this for a few weeks i wouldnt waste my time or money. this game has a replay value of 0.its the same 3 templates over and over.sure might be random but gets boring really fast.that is one of the many glaring flaws it has cant go into anything else because its still under lock and we arent suppose to talk about it.if you wanna try a good f2p game or beta try mythos. great game by the same people who did diablo. and will be free to play even when its released.is a click to move game though.

 

 

Im not lucky to be in beta, already at least... so, it becomes boring why? no character options? no clases? (i heard that there will be 6 classes...) all the time killing the same, doing anything else? bad engine or combat system? I will wait to see it finished to say its good or not. Just post cause is "interesting" to know that there is a "idea" to mix fps-rpg that is coming out next month, and got a good background, or at least, interesting one...

 

 

At last I entered the beta, and, really, think its a GOOD game, more than a RPG is like an FPS. But with some of the rpg-diablo essence.

6 archetypes to choose from, 2 "warriors" (swords/shields/armor), 2 "ranger" (hunters with weapons/bots/stealth/snipe) and 2 "wizards" (summoner/evoker).

Cant understand why some people is saying that this game is boring, really, you can play in first person and no more click and point boring, you PLAY with it, you aim, you hit, you kill, and you can use spells or summon minions like other rpgs... Im almost sure I will buy this one and try the single player campaing, and, get the free multiplayer and wait to see what P2P Multi mode gots.

ok its not full F2P cause you must buy the game, but, it have no fee.

Hellgate London, will have a free online mode, but if you pay near 10€/$ you will get extra things. Dunno if its the best way, but, for casual players, really, it is.

Sometime Ago i saw a guy asking for a F2P that dont have the simple combat system "point & click". i said... No f2p... must wait for conan, or test tabula rasa, or perhaps, chronicles of spellborn but... yes, november we will got this one! half way to FPS and Action-Rpg.
