No item stats!

schloob

If you want a game that has unique and interesting items with stats (like every successful MMORPG ever made), don't play this game.  They have some hokey system where you add 'sigils' to bland items to give them bonuses.  Just warning you before you bother downloading.

 

Quizzical

And if you want a game where you can go AFK in combat and it doesn't matter, then definitely don't play this one.

Refraining from going overboard with gearing up a good thing, not a bad thing.  I don't see what the problem is.

LMAO. In other words, "if you want a game just like every other game out there, don't play this game!"

The silliness of the MMO community has been rampant lately.

Well sigils do offer interesting stats, tho not like traditional games where its str or wis or w/e since this game doesnt have such stats.

anyway

Remember how much it sucks to upgrade an awesome weapon, using costly and rare upgrade materials, only to have to sell and do it again with a new weapon in a few levels?

Sigils kinda solves this dilemma, instead of trying to save that good sigil for an appropriate weapon to put it in, it can be added or removed at will, this means that you have a lot of possible unique setups, actually you can tailor it to what skills you like to use, depending on what sigils you can get.

So yes your right, you add sigils to essentialy bland weapons (although many are pretty cool looking) and no this game doesnt use the standard stat system that every "most popular game" since 2004 has used.

This is my favourite hate post evah

So, let me get this straight... Just so I'm sure...

You think that taking beautifully designed visible gear, of which you can wear whatever of you want with no class restrictions, and adding your own choice of stats to it, basically designing your own magic items, via invisible Sigils is a reason to dislike a game?

We need more haters like this posting here

Please describe to me what makes these items in other mmos "interesting". I'm really curious to know what it is that you find so fascinating about them. Do you actually get excited when a mob drops a sword which has +5 str on it? How about 10 minutes later when another mob drops a cloak with +3 sta? Or 30 minutes later when you get another sword which has +4 str? Do you find the constant stream of loot to be a real buzz? You do realise dont you that its ALL THE FUCKING SAME right?

Also you use the word "unique". How can this word ever be used to apply to any mmo where thousands of people are all collecting the same items that you are? Nothing you collect in any mmo is ever unique. Its just a copy of something from a database that has been "pasted" into your inventory to make you feel special......and you fell for it lol. You actually think you're special and unique with your +4 magic sword lmao!

Spellborn does away with all of this bullshit, which is really nothing more than a hook to keep people playing games that would essentially be boring to play otherwise. Remove the loot grind from WoW for example and no-one would play it. Who would actually play that game (or most others for that matter) if the level and loot grinding was gone?

Spellborn isnt designed to appeal to loot grinders like yourself. Oh and those "bland" items are actually much better looking than the stuff you get in other mmos (in fact the whole game is better looking)......but thats the point. You can equip yourself however you like in Spellborn to make yourself look the way you want without being forced to use stuff you dont like the look of simply because of some silly stats. Besides think about how it works in films for example. You dont see Aragorn changing his armour and weapons every 30 minutes just because an orc dropped a sword which has a better bonus. No.....a sword is a sword......and so it is with Spellborn.

Finally you say "like every successful mmo ever made". So you're saying that loot farming is integral to the success of an mmo? What a load of garbage! Sorry to break it to you but Spellborn is a rather successful mmo and....oh my gosh! It doesnt have loot grinding......and......oh my gosh! People actually dont miss it in the slightest. Its actually a breath of fresh air to play a game because its FUN for once instead of being stuck on a loot grinding treadmill.

So yeah Spellborn is different to other mmos. If you want another WoW clone like all the other sad offerings then dont download this game. Just a warning for ya

Indeed. Its dumb posts like this which actually help to sell the game.

OP please get your friends to start more threads like this one.

This is the one the selling points of the game, not the reason to hate it.

I liked the fact the caster I rolled to test game out before it hits the US looked like a rogue.

Really?  I was on the fence about this game, but now you've convinced me.

I'm downloading it now. I'm sick of grinding for gear.

Gestankfaust

lol...wow.....the MMO community is truly deluded these days....

 

SB is "original".....which all MMO players have been asking for. The sigils actually eliminate the need for gear hording...like all other games. You get to look how you want...then amp up the gear with your own stats......how is this wrong?

 

srsly.....get over yourselves MMO wannabe's
