For anyone here that hasnt played the game yet, I have been testing for quite a while. I very much enjoy the game, there is a strong foundation built. Early Acess to the game begins in Dec 2024. It will be most classes and races, leveling to 40 with content to match. It will be opened to all pledges, regardleas of pledge teir. That means for $50, you get access to EA and the game when it launches. If you have even the slighest bit of interest in the game, its well worth the pledge. Looking forward to EA and having new folks join th4 community.
@@Shadowthevampire well yes of course. My point is that pledging now for 50 bucks is likely a much better decision than simply paying money for EA in whatever format they choose for simply EA access.
Wish this was around a couple of months ago when I first got to try this game. Tried to play it for like an hour but all this basic info was crazy to figure out at the time. It would take too long and not worth my limited time to try to research and learn a game especially when I only had a limited time to play it. So I ended up giving up and waiting for game release to play.
I loved this short and informational video. I'm planning on jumping in as soon as I can and I will be trying to send you a friend request in game (assuming I remember) ... also Ignore my Icon. That ghost doesn't speak for me.
A dozen MMOs have crossed my keyboard since 1999. EQ, WoW, AOC, Aion...more and more. No game--repeat--*no game* have I played that filled me with such fear as EQ. Moving through Lower Guk to join a group, watching my invis spell wearing off, knowing if the frogs see me, I am dead and the group cannot come to my help. Corpse run would be a nightmare! *OH THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T SEE ME!* The absolute terror of crossing Kithicor Forest at night. I still have PTSD. And making it back to my home city (Qeynos), and the *profound* feeling of relief. I made it. I'm safe. Why do devs not understand this is what we want? Sure, do a quest at level 5 and get a full epic set. Be one of 10,000 others with your flaming sword and armor of levitation. ...or... Plead with a raid to allow you to tag along. All you want is the NO DROP guts from the end boss dragon for your bard's epic weapon. You'll play your heart out. You won't ask for anything else. Please, please, please! Let Pantheon be this!
Rare loot is uber rare but it isn't all that identifiable yet (outside of purple rogue daggers) and no, you're not getting anything good from quests save for one or two lesser items. The game can be dangerous AF, especially at night, and especially deep in the dungeons, which makes dungeon crawls fun and stressful at the same time which is what we liked right? :) But CR's are a thing (thankfully not naked but if you want your exp, bags and money back...) and death penalties hurt so yeah, you're gonna love it! :P
Just my opinion but absolutely. I've been playing during Champion sessions since May and the game is very addictive. I like doing EVERYTHING. All the gathering and crafting I can, all the quests, exploring every nook and cranny, crawling into all the various dangerous dungeons in search of treasure, making friends and mini raids. The game hasn't even officially released yet and I already feel like I've gotten my money's worth! Definitely worth the $50 pledge to dip your toes in!
@@Sk1ndredd You ‘can’ solo (some classes better than others) but the exp is pretty poor (ala EverQuest in the old days.) It’s easier in the lower levels, there can be considerable down time after like level 20. Quests are pretty dependent on group content but crafting quests you could do for sure. Farming crafting mats is always a good use of an hour!
Beginner Smelting schematics come free from the armorer if you take his first few quests, or you can buy it from the toolcrafting vendor. The game tends to automatically put asherite in before casperlite (sp?) in the smelter, but you can smelt both, you just have to click the casperlite in.
There's grass, I'm playing on a low setting here. In retrospect, I should have made the video in high settings but I was used to playing this way. I guess I care a lot less about the graphics then most people, hell, I love playing Muck and that's just like stick figures lol. I just want a fun game where I can make lasting friendships and that I have here. :)

I think your info is wrong here, it will be open to everyone not just pledgers….. but you will have to buy it ofc like any other game, it’s not free.
@@Shadowthevampire well yes of course. My point is that pledging now for 50 bucks is likely a much better decision than simply paying money for EA in whatever format they choose for simply EA access.
If i spend $50 now can i play until EA as well ?
@@WayneTwitch Yes you can. Until they close servers for EA preps early december. Everybody with a pledge can play right now.
You also get a EA code to give to a friend on Steam's release.
Your character name "EarthAngel" won my subscription.
Its awesome to see a mmo that caters to group content like it used to be.
greatly looking forward to grouping with some people for hours at a time
Jodi, you're the bomb. This is the most niche subject and yet here you are delivering exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Great Video! :) featuring it on the rewind this week :)

Nice video, something like this has been needed for a long time. well done!
Subbed!! Thank you so much for all the tips on getting started! Well done!

Thank you for the video, learned a lot
I just pledged for $600 and logged in for the 1st yesterday and this video answered some questions for me, thank you for making it. Cheers
ouch
Super helpful, thank you very much.

Thx for the gear and conversation in-game )
Thank you for taking the time to show us. Do you think Early Access would provide enough content for a casual player to stay engaged?
Just my opinion but absolutely. I've been playing during Champion sessions since May and the game is very addictive. I like doing EVERYTHING. All the gathering and crafting I can, all the quests, exploring every nook and cranny, crawling into all the various dangerous dungeons in search of treasure, making friends and mini raids.

@@JodiMcClure that's awesome. I look forward to trying it out. I also like doing all of the little stuff too.
Pantheon opens tomorrow for supporters- come play for a month its pretty good, challenging, immersive, colorful. Supporters also get free beta access
If i pay $50 now can i play now and up till and including EA ?
@@WayneTwitch yes. You can play right now until dec 1, then you can play all of ea, and then the full game if that happens in x years
@@bobthor9647 Ok thanks !
I know it’s an MMO, but is there solo content at all? If you just want to hop on for an hour or two and do a few quests, is that possible?
@@Sk1ndredd You ‘can’ solo (some classes better than others) but the exp is pretty poor (ala EverQuest in the old days.) It’s easier in the lower levels, there can be considerable down time after like level 20. Quests are pretty dependent on group content but crafting quests you could do for sure. Farming crafting mats is always a good use of an hour!
Can someone tell me what bag of the legate, explorers backpack, ring of the fallen do?
The ones that come as perks with pledges, no one actually knows yet. Explorers backpack is a 10 slot bag (as it is in game now).
@JodiMcClure ah okay. Thank you for the reply.
This is ingame footage?
Yes, that's Avendyr the champion server. In low resolution.
The games look wont be for everyone this is not some flashy game but it looks 100% how i wanted it to look updated version of Eqoa and Everquest
Smelting?
Beginner Smelting schematics come free from the armorer if you take his first few quests, or you can buy it from the toolcrafting vendor. The game tends to automatically put asherite in before casperlite (sp?) in the smelter, but you can smelt both, you just have to click the casperlite in.
Wizards 101. PG10?
Where did all the grass go? Is this a mexican landscaping game? kaamela harris border special?
There's grass, I'm playing on a low setting here. In retrospect, I should have made the video in high settings but I was used to playing this way.

Dude who are you trying to impress? Don’t play the game if you think it looks bad, why leave 10 comments on a random video?
The trees look like cardboard cutouts with fingerpaint done by a 3 year old.
The artwork is so bad…
You play this yet?
Could have been a lot shorter video. RUN DO NOT WALK FROM THIS DUMPSTER FIRE OF A GAME....thank you
Imagine having such a meaningless life that you waste your time trash talking a video game in comment sections of even small/new content creators.
It's a lot of fun and pretty addictive to me. Same goes for everybody ingame that i ask.
No idea why some people are so butthurt about a game? 😂
@@Sk1ndredd So who was butthurt? Projecting much? We were just making statements.
If you knew anything about YT you’d know it needs to be over 8 minutes.
