    First off, nice new web site.  Congrats on that.  

     

    So, from what I have seen so far, the news for September that we have been waiting for so excitedly is that... we got a new web site and you hired a few new people.

     

    Is there more coming?  Some updated videos of actual game play?  Announcement of alpha testing?  Anything else?  I'm sure the culmination of the summer wasn't just a new web site and a few new employees.  You're holding back for a grand announcement I am betting.  Can't wait.

    It's not "just a new website" mate, we have shown a new video teaser on our main page, we have a lot of new screenshots, new website, new corporate site, new company logo, new staff, new class and race information, new lore, new artwork etc. We are attending two big business events, a lot of new information has been released and this is a soft launch for us (which I have stated many times now), the official launch will be next week once we iron out the forum and account issues and with that will come more exposure.

    I'm impressed with how well the game looks after the Unity 5 upgrade. A lot of work has gone into improving the existing zones.

    The new race art is also very cool looking.

    Thanks for the link to the video.  Some how I missed that.

    Is there any reason the video seems hazy?  Is it just my system rendering the video that way, or is it just not shot at a high resolution?  The screenshots look a million times better than the actual video resolution wise.

     

    I can't wait for next week.  I am hoping for some in game combat videos.  The scenery looks amazing.  I just want to see what you have done for the character combat animations so far.  One of the things that I was highly dissapointed with in Vanguard was the way that dual wielded weapons were just sorta thrust forward at the same time.  It looked very unreal so to speak.  So, I am very much interested in the combat animations for Pantheon.

     

    Thanks for the updates!

    We've been given a whole bunch with this launch of the website. And I've said this already a few times but the art direction is amazing! Even though there's not a lot of 'video' footage we have a ton of new screen shots that are SO delicious. The scenery, the surroundings, the character models, even the class icons on the web site all look crazy sick. I love the dark nature the almost sort of 'evil' atmosphere everything encapsulates.

    With the website in place and the classes/races announced things are looking up. We should now get more information hopefully on a steady pace. Maybe even a newletter down the road. :P

    You're welcome mate!

    The video I think was/is compressed to load quickly on the site and to not hog resources as it is a teaser, while the screenshots have been taken in 4K resolution which is why they look so good, there will be more videos as we progress with development, so don't think we are skimping or have forgotten, they just take time and our focus at the moment is on fixing the website issues and preparing for the official launch next week. :)

    First off I am sorry I have been away for such a long time. School has been kicking my butt!! However, it is almost over. If nothing screws up I should graduate this coming May!!. 

    Now Every thing I am seeing is making me itch to play this game!!!!! The graphics are incredible!! I get a giddy feeling everytime I see something new with this game!!. After seeing the races I was blown away! I love the aspect with the Gnomes and the Halflings plus the way they look is just stunning. The Myr and the Skar are a fantastic race to make playable and the rest of the races look better than any game I have seen. Well done Devs!! It is a true honor knowing my husband and I got to see this start from the beginning. There have been very talented people working on Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen and it shows in every blade of grass and tree branch.

    Thank you. I for one look forward to when I can play beta. I look forward to the hard work and the trill I get from trying to keep my big ogre hubby alive or just sit back and watch his monk kick some butt! Again thank you Pantheon creators, you truly are some creative minds!!

    Agree about the screen shots. I just have to wonder about poor Monthy's health he had to have been working quadruple time to get some of this stuff done. :)

    I would like to Congratulate Visionary Realms with the crisp roll-out of their new Conpany and what it means to the MMORPG industry. I am a huge fan of this project.

     

     

    I suspect, the Alpha 1, 2, 3 & beta 1, 2, 3 will be mythodical like Everquest's beta was. I suspect the only difference will be that Brad is not mailing our CD-roms to everyone in beta, by USmail. I still have my CD somewhere.. lol
