Mythos EU (no US ip Block) [Discussion]

[Kataal]

I just recently started playing Mythos again, after haven't playing it since Flagship still existed. I'm loving it. All the improvements are great and don't hinder the game in any way. It's still the Mythos I loved, but it feels more fleshed out as an MMO now.

Since the Open Beta's coming up, and there's no US IP block, I thought I'd start up a discussion.

Post anything related to Mythos EU here.

Basic Info:
Diablo-esque MMO action RPG.
Originally developed by frmer Diablo developers, and headed by the creater of Fate (these guys went on to make Torchlight.)
Randomly generated dungeons

4 Races:
-Human
-Gremlin
-Satyr
-Cyclops

3 Classes with three pretty unique skill trees

-Pyromancers: Cinderblade (mage/warrior), Flamecaster (standard fire mage), Coalsmasher (pets and AOE)

-Gadgeteer: Marksmen (Rifle Expert with Stat Effects and Range DPS), Grenadier(Traps and AOE grenades), Tinkerer (Robot pets, stationary turrets)

-Bloodletter: Crimsonate (DoTs, close-ranged AoEs), Martialist (generic DPS warrior), Red Hand (Necromantic Warrior, summons pets from corpses and uses magic to enhance them)

Update:
CURRENT PHASE: OPEN BETA (NO KEY REQUIRED)
Final Release: April 28th

WARNING: There will be a character wipe after both closed an open betas. The wipe after the open beta is an incentive to buy the European boxed version, which includes various items as well as access to a head start program.

Block the US and blackmail them for Vindictus and DFO.

[Knived]

Bloodletter Crimsonate coming up! cant wait to get started, i use to play back in the old days and loved it

We said the same about Cabal a long time ago.

We said the same about Cabal a long time ago.

TRUTH. I was so mad when Cabal didn't get picked up in the US at first. I loooved that game to death way back when.

Anyone who's playing post your IGNs if you're on the english server! And feel free to add me. I'm still pretty low-leveled but love to group!

[BooNeZ]

isn't it still in closed beta?

[Kataal]

For the moment, but It's going open on the 12th. I've noticed plenty of players already in the CB though, so I thought it would be appropriate.

Also, does anyone else wish they'd bring back the elves? I mean, I know they replaced them with Satyrs to have a more interesting race, and I love the Satyrs too, but I wish we could just have both. The more the merrier right?

[Resurrection]

gremlins are basically really short elves

and they totally ruined the UI, hit detection, currency system, dungeons, wait they ruined everything that's right. alpha mythos was the only good mythos

[Kataal]

I find the dungeons just as fun. Sure the first few dungeons are a yawn fest, but once you get past level 5 things start getting interesting. I see no problems with the UI whatsoever, and I don't honestly see a lot that's changed other than things like the "mmo view" option. I understand Gremlins are basically short elves, but I want tall Elves. I don't see why it would be that hard, since they have already been in the game, to just patch them back in for those that want them. It wouldn't detract from the gameplay at all.

And if you want to bash the game, whatever, but I don't understand why you'd take the time to even post here if you're not interested in it anymore. We all mourn the loss of Flagship. I'd have loved to see what Hellgate and Mythos would be like today if they were still around, but I'm thankful that this was brought back, and that the core gameplay's still intact and it's still just as fun.

Ah yes, the improvements. Wait, this version is worse than the beta of the original publisher years ago, as was said in the other mythos threads. Literally every single aspect is worse and I have no idea what they spent the years on 'developing' after buying the rights to mythos.

Complimentary protip: mythos is as much an 'mmo' as diablo 1.

[Kataal]

honestly. I keep hearing complaints on how it's so bad, but never actually WHY. I don't get it. I'm having a ton of fun. If you want offline Mythos go play Torchlight. If you'd rather it stayed dead that pretend it's dead and move on. I'm sorry it's not the game it was, and if you don't like it it's too damn bad. Some of us are just glad it's back at all and are, in fact, having fun. Thank you and good evening.

Why its super hyper awesome???????? Good evening fanboys. I dont care if people like it or not. Few phares of why its good or bad is always better.

[Kataal]

I'm by no means a fanboy. I made this thread because there are people who like it and want to discuss it, not for people to bash it with every post. Why not go talk about games you actually like?

I never said any of these changes made it "super awesome", I don't even agree with all of them. I didn't dislike the way it was before, but I don't dislike it now either. I understand not liking the changes, but I don't understand how any of them are game-ruining, or really even game-changing, and I don't understand why someone who liked it before wouldn't now.

[BooNeZ]

ok this is freakin weird. I just read in the forums that there WON'T be a wipe from Closed Beta to Open Beta, but a wipe will occur AFTER Open Beta for the Official Release. Can anyone confirm this?

[Miiksu]

If they cant tell why they r just trolls. Bashing a game of some reason(s). But myself I would like hear why someone dislike it. Sorry i mistook u a fanboy >_>

edit: nvm.

[Kataal]

So who cares about no IP block? The more important thing is there any lag?!

Not so far for me. I've had no issues other than a very few minor login issues that were fixed quickly. I haven't noticed ANY lag whatsoever.


The no wipe till the end of OB thing is true, but I think it's a good idea. It let's CB testers whigh high level chars test higher level content, and players who weren't in CB test lower level content. The wipe after OB is also sort of an incentive to buy the boxed version (yes EUs getting a boxed version) which allows you to start playing a few days early after OB (and also gives you items and other random crap).

[zaberisk2]

i'll try it once it hits ob or if i happen to get a key...

[Nukedout]

hey guys uhm sorry for asking but maybe anybody of you have 1 key left? i wanna try out mythos realy bad im from europe and i didnt found any site who got keys left i searched now for like 2,3 hours so i thought maybe i try and ask if maybe somebodys nice and has a key to spare would be pretty cool if you could PM me a key if you have one left

Comparing Mythos to D3 is like comparing Tibia to WoW...pointless. Half of the people who plays exclusively F2P won't pay for D3.

Btw wipes are common in betas, i don't know why everyone keeps saying the same..those who don't like wipes or "testing" a game, a solution is to not play betas ^^

The game is a decent time waster, is not great, but it's not a crap either.

I exclusively play f2p games, because monthly subscriptions to games that are complete trash, e.g. WoW, is just silly. Especially when there are numerous f2p games that are as generic as WoW, but better; however, do note that I will be buying 3 copies of D3, one for my wife, one for my little brother, and one for myself...

Trust me my friend, there are thousands of people like me out there. It's one thing to pay monthly for a piece of crap game, but it's a whole other story to purchase (with a one time fee) the sequel to the best, and no I did not stutter, best online RPG to hit computers since... Well since there were computers.

[zaberisk2]

they gave out a bunch of keys recently for current players to give to friends, but sadly I joined right after that happened and haven't received any. I PMed a poster on MMORPG[.]com and asked for one, and he sent it promptly. You might try asking there.

alright =) i'll first try asking around onrpg though

Then you must be bad at maths, because B2P or P2P...the difference is a few bucks at best if the B2P releases expansions...and if it doesn't...the game dies within 6 months. Not to mention that D3 is not a mmorpg, you can compare it to CoD for example but not to a P2P mmorpg.

People hear B2P and they think P2P is crap because you pay monthly fees...but they don't realize that paying every 6 months for an expansion equals to paying a monthly fee on a P2P...it's really dull. Paying 10$ every month or paying 60$ every 6 months...makes no difference to me, both charge you for updates.

Btw, i would love to see those generic f2p games which are better than WoW...10+ millions, or whatever the actual subscribers amount is, must be ******ed to pay for a P2P instead of going to these generic F2P mmorpgs.

edit: 1 more mythos key for whoever wants it CB3F_MmNaAGSht4

For achievement people,dying multiple times can get you achievements which + a lot of vitality. I know there 5,10 and 20 deaths achievements and maybe more.
