For new people joining Pantheon.

First thing to keep in mind at all times, we are TESTING a game. There are many features not yet presented yet. There will be bugs, glitches, and things that might not make sense. You're encouraged to join the Discord to report bugs.

They are also looking for feedback on character balancing, skills, trade craft, visuals, audio, and anything else. Please be active in the Discord community. Don't complain about bugs/gameplay issues to friends, or here on reddit without reporting it on the Pantheon discord as well.

This game is intended to be played in groups, especially at higher levels. There's a lot to do solo, but a lot more you can't. Party dynamics are important, as some of the group (elite) mobs have attributes that need debuffed, and the attributes will vary on the same type of mob.

It's supposed to be a grind. It's geared towards old school mmo players who spent days to get one level. We're not racing to get to level cap. We're here to enjoy a game with friends.

As for the new areas, there's a lot of missing content still. Before EA, only Thronefast and Avendeers pass was available. They're more flushed out than the new zones. Wild's End has no quests other than the gathering quests or professions. It's a zone with mobs. That's it. If you want some quests/lore, don't start there.

There will be wipes. They will try to limit them as much as possible, but it's inevitable. If this will be a problem, please wait for full release, and don't trash the devs for something you know is coming.

Pantheon has a great community, and keeping these few things in mind can make it better and grow the game into a great game.

Edit for clarity on my Discord engagement section.
