Looks aight. Lets give it a try.

[!King_Amazon!]

I'm not german, will it be released in the US?

[JiDDaR]

I'm not sure but the link is in english so i think it will. maybe first in germany and if it success than it will...

[!King_Amazon!]

Sweet, I'll definately buy it. Seraphims look killer.

[undeadzombieguy]

it looks pretty good and nice looking chars

only the camera seems to be to close on the char which makes it hard to see everything when there are more then 2 enemies fighting u

As im reading more info on the site now i see they have taken a close look on diablo2 skills.

examples:
Fire Claw - The weapon charges and releases a fire attack. = fist of fire

Jump Attack - The Seraphim jumps and throws herself at an enemy, attacking with her sword in hand. = Leap attack

Shield Push - The Seraphim uses her shield to push enemies back.
= smite

and there are a lot more examples
but i dont care as long if it plays good coz,
better well stolen than invented badly (or something like that :P)

[JiDDaR]

definitly it'll release in US.

Looks very interasting... I just hope it wont get hacked like alot of the Diablo II clones...

Possibly pay $$ to play... (to keep the patches) up n' runnin.

[iceman887]

aww cant play anyways lol i got a 550 mhz and it requires 800 and if it cost to play, i wont play it

[badboy]

There have been alot of clones of diablo 2 but none of them seem to be any good so I'm not to thrilled about this one but we'll see.

[zagggon]

it looks decent

I hope its on res like 600 on the first one cause that is huge, i hope it can run on 1028-768 *i think thats the res*

Looks kinda stupid to me, but id give it a try, no way paying monthly though.. thats not my style ^_^

[Senesia]

800 x 600 ,1024 x 768, 1152 x 864...

Me neither. I don't think I will see myself paying monthly fee for an online game.

[Medieval Bob]

Looks good. I like the picture of the dragon. Big enemy... If there's a demo, I'll definately play it... I'd have to think about buying it without a demo tho.

[quikspy67]

Well see.

[platnum]

looks good, but im not sure if it will be better than d2.

[Nitrodox]

Looks cool, but hey serious. D2 has sucha big amount of pps that are playing it 24/7 and i dont think this game will achive that. And D2 is joust so darn fun. No way that this game is going to beast it but hey, i wil give it a try
