If I would change something...

Well as a noobie to the game in comparison to much older players, I can still write a review to reflect the competition with "today's game mechanics" vs Drakensang's.

First, I'd like to point out the good...
- The fact that there's practically no bots and zero gold spammers, sold me on the game immediately!
- The extremely long questing to level cap is actually a plus for me. Makes the game seem less, "done-in-a-day"! (This is a point of view without premium purchases)
- The graphics could use a bit more tweaking(more shinnies on weapons/dull looking), but overall are very nice.
- The staff are responsive and friendly. Most players seem to be as well.
- The perks of ingame bonuses like damage % increasing orbs and such, are a definite plus.
- Basic character overlay and simple interface. Makes the game run more smoothly and enjoyable.

A few pointers I'd like to see change...(the bad)
-The mounts! I find them useful but useless at the same time! The mounts shouldn't take a hit and de-spawn during map travels! Your character taking damage while riding is of course normal.
The mount delay to spawn, is also annoying. Click mount on, click mount off! Simple.
-I'd like to see more visual effects on weapons and gear sets. They're kinda dull.
-Boss drops are a bit, none rewarding at times via what they could be.
-No drops pick-up button? What the heck is that? Make use of the spacebar! Make it a pick-up all near player button!(enable/disable for those interested)
-The rubber banding effect! Oh wow lol! Well I know this can't be fully controlled but it needs improvements. I don't have any troubles in any other games I play other then this one. It is minor tho. But still existing.
-Bug releases! Why are we the hamsters when others get paid to do so? Don't take this the wrong way, but it's true. Players seem to be complaining alot about this issue. I agree to a point with them. It shouldn't be our "job" to experience and report bugs. Those kinda things should be taken care of prior to releases with some exceptions of course, nothing's perfect! Just seems to be an on going issue that's been well exhausted by the public it would seem.

Over all I give it a 7/10.

Great game, but it needs a NA support server!
