@@pipz420 That might not be entirely bad. I played EQ from launch thru 5 expansions. The game was awesome for it's time but had many issues as well. WoW made some drastic improvements in the MMO play which is why it became the most popular.
@@Egad Sorry I think I speak for a lot of people who dislike WoW design and was expecting something different. It might have been popular but I expect that is from better marketing.
@@pipz420 I hear you. I found myself back in EQ for a time on Project99. I hated the community in WoW for the most part. I did like that any class could solo if needed and were more balanced.
Finally tried a group last night at lvl 9.....it was SO FUN. I'm definitely happy i pledged last week to try this game out. It doesn't look amazing but i haven't had this much fun in a while in an mmo.
Concerning the lack of indication of where you die, you can do a /loc before you release to get coordinates. You can make a macro to do this a bit easier.
Great video especially for someone who hasn't played EQ.... Most of us EverQuest players are use to this but the we had a blank map at first. Also great comments from the community and questing is not the main point of the game. Its about killing mobs with other players
Game is in Alpha, and will be for a while. This newest round of players from Pledge or Steam will add even more life to the game. I also prefere buy to play games. The Free To Play games are normally not my crowd of people.
Your pet gets aggro once you get better gear for him. There is also a higher level skeleton that gets a taunt. It’s all about the journey and the increase in power as you go. No hero with ultimate power at level 1. Also you can do no melee at level 1 just wait for your skellies to get aggro. You actually have to play and learn the nuances of your class. Each class has a different learning curve
This is slow paced and the quests are very vague and frustrating you also drop all gear and bags on death and no indication as to were you died lol ,but if you want to form parties and mob grind this is your game .
U gotta learn how to kite a little. Sick your pet on the mob and keep your distance until the pet gets aggro. Then wait to attack until the pet seings a few times. Then dot, dd, etc. I think VR will eventually add a map and a corpse indicator when you die. Unless they're going the full EQ route. I remember dying in a mountain and hiring a Necro to summon my corpse to me. If a necro isnt available, I had to hire a ranger to track my corpse. So I'm guessing certain classes will be able to help u get your corpse back. In regards to sub, as of rn its just pay 40 for EA. When Pantheon gets closer to release in a year or 2, I can almost guarantee there will be a monthly sub. This will likely not be a f2p game when it officially launches.
The magic of Pantheon is that most things are better with a group, even leveling, whereas modern MMOs have made leveling a “solo questing in a shared world” experience and made grouping for dungeons a 20-30 minute silent race to the bosses.
This games probably going to fail harder then they think😅 i understand it's ment to be like old school eq so the only people they are catering to us p99 players and p99 players probably aren't leaving p99 lol
This is for us who love challenge buddy 😂. No mercy in pantheon. But this where the game becomes fun while playing and grouping with people and friends. Give it more time get groups. You will get hooked 🫡
Thank you .I like a challenge also,but it would be nice if the quests gave us more of a clue ,for example the heavy lift quests ,from the text, how would you figure out where to go to complete them other than exploring the world till you accidentally discover them and remember you have a quest for them.
@ community. /ooc .. we all trying to figure it out as a big ol team . Quests are more of things your doing while your grinding and adventuring with guildies and friends. Again. Challenge a scavenger hunt if you will 😊. Although bigger quests will be added like epic quests that may take many people to help or weeks/months to complete. It’s a slow grind. Sit back make some friends and adventure through the world and don’t rush it 😊
If you want something different, play something different. The graphics do not bother me at this point. People play Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and other games with far worse graphics and enjoy them. Some of us prefer games where you need to group rather than playing by yourself in a crowd of toons like WoW.
Yeah, this game was originally being made by the guy who created EverQuest. The point of the game was to be "hardcore" like EverQuest at launch.
"Was" to be. They want a mix between EQ and WoW.

Just started playing a month ago, I love it. Liked your video.

when you are deal before you releace type /loc and you'll get the location of your corpse.. easy

Very helpful thank you.
If you want your pet (Minion) to keep aggro you have to let it do some damage and not drastically out damage it early on.
@@Egad thank you
Have been Alpha Testing AoC and definitely want to check this out as well.

@@avinfun4781 you do not drop gears
Just bags

Necro pet doesn’t taunt till level 12

This game is in early access development Dec 10? and won't be launched tell two years later.
They said 13th,and I expect actual release will depend on how that goes

I am currently trying core punk, at least that game tells you were the quest giver is to hand in, this game your totally blind
Is there a bard :)
I just tried the necromancer to try the game out
there will be bards. yes.
Bard is not in the game currnetly but will be added
lol ahh... go get your equipment back...
pumpkin = pantheon
Looks great but cant understand a word you are saying
Looks really boring lol.
It is better than it looks, but does need tweaks

1998 called and wants its game back. This game is completely pointless. Old stale cartoons with stale and dead playstyle.
@@williamlaprarie3007 lol, it is better than it looks but still raw
have you played?
Thats exactly what the player base wants. When games when actually challenging and required an ounce of teamwork to progress..

Litterly every game is "pointless"...
