Sorry GGG, but after this I'm gone

Graphics are irrelevant, the aestethics are important. Unfortunatly PoE is very bad in this aspect.
I mean: just look at the character models or the new STR helmets...

Good thing though is, that the gameplay makes at least 95% of the quality of a game (unless you are a visual drone).

Heyya, Komle! I remember you from way back in Closed Beta!

It'd be a real shame to see you go, now. Yeah, I understand the appeal of something new after three years of PoE, but stop and consider: You can play that, and PoE, too. They're definitely NOT the same beast (more on that inna moment), so you can enjoy the variety.

ZiggyD did an initial (and cautiously enthusiastic) review of Lost Ark:

I also looked at the whole trailer, which Zig linked below his vid. I came away with a coupla things...

Lost Ark is a graphically-lush entry in a very well-established Korean gaming genre. As such, it may be expected to conform to some conventions which you might find less palatable. Comparing it to D2 on a viewing of that trailer, alone, is perilous; we all wanted that Holy Grail of the "Real Diablo 3," but I was frankly more reminded of the real Diablo 3. Pay attention to how the bodies fall. The animations are limited, which made the game visually boring, to my eye. The huge, flashy, over-the-top attacks concealed a number of skills which could've been lifted from PoE (I can't comment on their relevance to D3, as I've never played it).

And then, there's the issue of when (or even if) this new game will be functionally available outside its parent market. You may have to wait quite a bit before you get the opportunity to try it, yourself. Meanwhile, dun toss out the PoE baby with the bathwater. PoE gains new content as time goes on, new permutations of the competitive formats available. If you're still a bit weary of PoE, take a break, mebbe even from the ARPG genre. But PoE will remain for when you're in the mood for... PoE.

Meanwhile, Lost Ark will undoubtedly release actual gameplay footage, and translated details may become available, providing a more accurate idea of what the game will actually be like. Finally, dun put too many hopes on this, at least, not without more info. After all, I remember how hopeful we all were about a certain other Diablo 2 successor, until we found out what was in it... =^[.]^=

TC, you'd get hyped up over a freaking trailer in a day and age where overhyped + overrated games seem like the standard?

The game looks too Final Fantasyish. That dude on horseback looked nearly identical to Odin in FF games. So close, I'd even say its practically a rip off. Are they too lazy to come up with something original?
