anyone thinking of buying this should know that this "early access" is less the type where the game is finished and they're building out content, and moreso that they're building the game as you play it. the game has been in development for 10 years, yes, but in that 10 years there's been resets, loss of funding, working for free to basically nothing, and the death of their CCO. if they wanted to scam you, they would've already pivoted to crypto and called it a day.
working for free? Cmon man. Dont lie. Thats whyt hey've been asking for pledges throughout right? Thats why the game is being sold for 40$. Just to work for free? cmon
having an awesome time in Pantheon. im like you, I play for the atmosphere and fantasy buzz. really has the EverQuest/Vanguard vibes. just think they need to polish some animations and add the rest of the content.
I don't really have time to watch the whole video as I'm already following the warrior leveling series, but I'm very interested in your opinion on this alpha : Does pushing the buttons for abilities feel good on this game so far ?
Game looks really interesting and i'd love to play and help the developers with feedback, but 40 bucks is WAYYY to expensive for a no name early access.
do you still play this? your map idea is what they're planning on doing, an in game map with no map marker for your character and I think you'll be able to create notes on it
As someone that is an outsider looking in, This seems like it is really trying to feed off EQ nostalgia. (which isn't a bad thing) I keep seeing that this is probably in some kind of development hell and already 10 years in. I hope for the best for them. But I really do not know how a old school style MMO will do. I understand there are still people that will play EQ and old school Runescape, but I just don't know how they would draw those players from basically there home MMO. Let alone bring new players in
When I pledged like 8yrs ago it was for an amazing looking game I hoped would be a springboard from EQ....as the years went by, the development took a turn and sadly has launched a game resembling the failed EverQuest Next. IMO, I wasted $200 on this game & have zero plans to play...if playing, I hope it's what you envisioned.
It may not work out but graphics are fine … there are zero other mmos out there or coming that plays like this though so that’s a huge huge positive … and actually has real,support classes
@@Crown-Coke If you pledged years ago you can just take the plunge and give it a try, for no cost. If you are the target audience then you will love it. So many people in game say that they really love it. But it's not for everybody, that is for sure. Nothing to do with EQ next really, this is way more like the difficulty of EQ1 with some new ideas. There are a lot of people who initially dismissed it and then got sucked in. There are also those that keep hating it.
Man I followed this project from the start. I pledged and got in. My honest opinion after playing ALL weekend. My first hour of gameplay was miserable! I was so close to Uninstalling and never clicking Pantheon icon again! Seriously, I cussed for a full hour! Then I decided to create a different race and class. That race and class was way more beginner friendly. And after a few hours of playing, I couldn't put it down! Give it a shot man, 2-3 hours of your time before giving completely up. It's actually a good game. You here people say hard, I don't consider it hard at all. It has that old school, laid back feeling
I'm not sure what's been going on with this game, I remember a couple of years ago it was supposed to be one of the main mmorpg hopes. I'm not sure why because what they got as of right now is going absolutely nowhere. Realistically it looks like one of those obscure ones that will have at best a couple hundred dedicated players like Project Gorgon and Wurm Online. It can't hope to compete with anything even close to the big ones with what they got. Graphics, animations, UI all of it needs a substantial upgrade. I get that they are going for the Everquest thing but you can't actually literally make Everquest in 2024 and expect success, Everquest is ancient and only played by hardcore fans. An Everquest in 2024 can be Everquest but it has to have modern graphics, smooth modern animations, modern combat etc.
I agree partially. While it certainly would profit from better graphics and animations (both will of course get better), the combat won't change fundamentally. This style is something that the industry just abandoned, leaving a lot of players behind. Pantheon will not try to compete with the modern style, it is for an audience that does like the very group focused, strategic and slower style.
Dev velocity is pretty fast at the moment, but yea... maybe it will take that much. Either way, it will be time to see it grow and grow. It's already pretty big and you can have a lot of fun. Bugs mostly are not game breaking and i did not have a single outright crash yet.
Game play mechanics dont bother me. Most people are struggling without a map but what gets me is it alway dark. No racial vision differences from human to elf and its always dark. I understand why but it sucks that most of the world you cant see because its so dark all-the-time.
Music is fantastic. Graphics are honestly off-putting. Maybe its just me being used to WoW, but when games go for "realistic" but obviously limited due to graphics cards and world size, it just kind of misses the mark for realism + hurts immersion IMO. Gameplay seems super lack luster and not polished. I feel bad that this game has been in production for I think you said 10 years???? WoW isn't going anywhere anytime soon lol Also... what is that length of time needed to mine.... WTH lol
Acclimation system better then eq. Perception system better then eq. Climbing better tgen eq. Pantheon is already better then eq and it has a long way to go.
@@Hunter77567 the game is so boring. I cant log on longer than 5 minutes. I have about 20 hours in the game. Multiple level5-10 characters. It feels so generic.
And yet its systems are better then any mmo ever made. Perception questing, acclimation , weather , a world that can accually be threatening. Good luck in your pay to win wow buying coins and raid runs.
I’m having a blast, it’s a breath of fresh air from what mainstream mmo’s like WoW and Final Fantasy have become. Zero pay to win, and the old school community where people help each other and actually talk. Can only get better from here.

@Crafty-One you should learn to read before speaking
Okay but its still objectively a bad game.
This was really great to see, first time out in a new world no maps no guides. I loved it Felt like my first days in EQ back 1999. hope to see more.
having an awesome time in Pantheon. im like you, I play for the atmosphere and fantasy buzz. really has the EverQuest/Vanguard vibes. just think they need to polish some animations and add the rest of the content.
The dwarf chopping the tree next to you while you were fighting has my maiden name lol
I'm sure you know this by now, but hit 'C' to consider each mob. It will tell you their approximate level.
you can press "C" to inspect the mobs to see how strong they are compared to you.
I've waited for this game since they first released information about it and all those years later, this is what they've got to show? I am so sad.
the game was at a pause, it was not in development for 10 years lol they barley picked it back up...
@@d3miiig0d44 so they lied?
@d3miiig0d44 it doesn't change the amount of years I've been waiting though :)
Right? 10 fkin years waiting for this? And at 40 dollars and lose all progression?
You hit c to consider the mob. It will tell you the difficulty.
I don't really have time to watch the whole video as I'm already following the warrior leveling series, but I'm very interested in your opinion on this alpha : Does pushing the buttons for abilities feel good on this game so far ?
keep in mind that anything in your off hand removes the torch . so night time will be miserable.
Game looks really interesting and i'd love to play and help the developers with feedback, but 40 bucks is WAYYY to expensive for a no name early access.
i just wait when the game is version 1.0.. will take some time.. but i think it will be epic when the game really starts
Because theyre milking it before it gets shut down. Years of development and this is early access? Bro its far from EA.
@@AutomanicJackgoodluck waiting for 1.0 when this early access was after 10yrs of development.
Finally been waiting for this to drop for a while
The game was basically deleted 2 years ago and started over. This is the direction they decided to go after that refactor.
You made this game look really fun
Very much wanting to play this!
my first 90s was trying not to drown...
Excited to watch this!
Feels like EQ to me! Awesome so far
do you still play this? your map idea is what they're planning on doing, an in game map with no map marker for your character and I think you'll be able to create notes on it
Love the game and its difficulty. I hope you stick with it, there’s a lot more to the game
Tell me why this game is better than Ember's Adrift or Project Gorgon which both are already finished?

Im hooked
I hate having no map. Also wish the npcs had quest icons
Any building system/housing?
no
Is there player vs player?
Cant wait to see more of this
This game looks like the love child of EQ & Dark Souls graphics wise
i think the command /time gives you the hour of the day in the chatbox

@hystorix9031 can you elaborate on "plays like this"? The videos I'm seeing of gameplay aren't very impressive & resemble Project Gorgon
@@hystorix9031not true. Check out monsters and Memories. Also, Embers Adrift is already released and has a similar feel!

The crawling to his death..noooo😅
years and years of development time. For this.
solo or multy??
It's an mmo game :)
Its more multi than most MMOs as you are really dependant on other players to progress at a nice rate. Solo is possible but much slower.
I'm not sure what's been going on with this game, I remember a couple of years ago it was supposed to be one of the main mmorpg hopes. I'm not sure why because what they got as of right now is going absolutely nowhere.

Major EQ vibes.
i will be generous and say that the game is less than half finished, you can expect 3 to 4 years of EA before launch

The gathering is slow because you are supposed to be able to gather as a group to speed it up. I think it’s just broken right now
@@yokohl6997 Nope. This is just the speed with newbie tools, gets a lot faster when you upgrade those.
yeah it's intended to be slow, but once you upgrade your gathering tools and get your skill up, it speeds up a lot. It's meant to be slow progression.
Get in the habit of pressing c when targeting. That skele you tried is for a group. I still pull things not onowing they are chevrons.
Well thankyou Robert for the gameplay... not for me
I love Everquest. This game is not that. The things I love about EQ are absent here. Boring. I said what I said.
Acclimation system better then eq. Perception system better then eq. Climbing better tgen eq. Pantheon is already better then eq and it has a long way to go.
@@Hunter77567another 10 years? ;) seems like it’s made by one person …
@@Hunter77567 the game is so boring. I cant log on longer than 5 minutes. I have about 20 hours in the game. Multiple level5-10 characters. It feels so generic.
That is because of your MMO experience over the years. It's like doing crap at work. Eventually, it all becomes boring. You can't escape it.
20 hours you probably didnt even leave the starter zone of thronefast in that time.
A decade to make this POS.
they had stopped developing this game...they barley picked it back up to continue due to CEO passing away a while back.
the combat in this game is the worst thing in all gaming history
this game is hideous
And yet its systems are better then any mmo ever made. Perception questing, acclimation , weather , a world that can accually be threatening. Good luck in your pay to win wow buying coins and raid runs.
@Hunter77567 i play classic no pay to win ... i played this earlier it was terrible thats my opinion
Politely disagree
I’m having a blast, it’s a breath of fresh air from what mainstream mmo’s like WoW and Final Fantasy have become. Zero pay to win, and the old school community where people help each other and actually talk. Can only get better from here.
ok so i played again for 5 more hours . Its starting to grow on me i might have been a bit rushed with the word hideous sorry guys
I've seen better textures in Roblox
LMAO, this is terrible...
Yuk... however thanks Robert.
