I'm having fun playing Mythos
I started playing Mythos, and it's pretty fun. It's sort of like Diablo, only massively multiplayer with better graphics.
It's point 'n click movement, which I usually don't like, but it's very smooth and no troubles with path finding. it's also click to attack, so it's pretty action oriented.
It's very intuitive, and everything is right where you expect it to be. Hit I for your inventory, and so forth. There is a skill tree, and lots of skills.
It's still in beta, so you have to sign up to get in, but I think they are handing out lots of beta slots.

THe human starting area is even the same lol and the graphics are the same and has the quest marks over the heads and the same colour too and even the character models look like WOW.

Huh.....Looks nothing like WOW and the game play is very good for this type of game. Plays pretty much like D2 does. Ohhh and as far as suggesting playing WOW.....I'd rather play Mythos over WOW anyday of the week.

Remind me to never ask your opinion on choosing between anything requiring visual/graphical cues., as your vision is obviously impaired if you believe the drivel you just typed.
It's mix of Diablo and Titan Quest with pretty graphics, small areas and what I have heard it's going to be free(no monthly fee)
More fantasy games is precisely what we dont need, I dont see why they dont make it cool like diablo 2 was instead of littering it with orcs and fairies and whatever other tolkien crap.
They say they are making it "unique", well diablo 2 was unique; this is just a cheap attempt at stealing people from WoW as all games seem to do now a days. Anyways just ranting, the game is alright though cheaply made; ie) theres like 10 active skills per character and most are just copies of eachother.
WOW CLONE!!!111
I heard someone say that Mythos was a WoW clone because they had a chat box in the bottom corner of the screen (true story).
Everything is WoW clone these days..
Look swords ! -> its WoW clone

well the chat box is designed the esact same way as wow and so is the UI and everything about the game......... it's a wow clone wth diablo gameplay.
Blizzard actually invented chatting in game,too. Back in 1999,if a player wanted to communicate in everquest or AC,he'd have to phone them in real life.
Though we all know that EQ and AC were actually WoW clones,turbine and SOE had invented a time machine and gone forwad to 2004 to check WoW out.

Ya know, when you're being sarcastic, you're generally supposed to put a smiley or a LOL or something to let people know you're just being silly.well the chat box is designed the esact same way as wow and so is the UI and everything about the game......... it's a wow clone wth diablo gameplay.
Unless....
No, you couldn't be.
Evil will always win, because Good is dumb.
To be fair to Mythos, the guy that stands in the human starter area wears a full set plate armor.
And I can't see any wolves either...

Play Swords of the new world. It's a bit more consistent then Mythos.

It seems like a nice casual game.Does it have any pvp?
Mythos offers better graphics than Diablo 2 at the cost of everything else that was good in Diablo 2. It is good as far as free online games go, but I'd still dig up that Diablo 2 disc and reinstall.
I don't know how long Flagship will be around anyway after the failure of Hellgate London.
Mythos is just alot of fun. It will be interesting to see how many people will play it once it releases.
If you played neverwinter nights, you'll say it's a clone of neverwinter nights too.
It's in beta, so it means that only the most basic features aren't implemented.
Plus classes are COMPLETLY different from the classes of most mmo (hunter/mage/warrior) as well as races (except humans, they are everywhere).
You can play it in different modes, elite and/or hardcore( like being able to play normal instances or heroics in wow, but you decide that when you create the character)
And it's FUN.
Graphics aren't so good, but i played games with top graphics and quitted after 2 weeks because the game was crap, so deciding to play or not a game only for what it look like... pointless
As an active player of and person who enjoys WoW, this game has absolutely nothing to do with it. "Look the game is online!1!!11 it must be a WoW clone! " :P
This is a Diablo 3ish. Better Graphics, more content, and overall fun play - hack & slash w/ an excellent system of random drops. Mythos is not trying to be WoW or any other ppm mmos (as the comments of a time machine had me rollin'). It is trying to compete with games like Guild Wars, and using several concepts from Diablo (and similar games) over again & adding new content which players enjoy from newer games.
Games dont need to re-invent the grind in every way and can reuse old ideas - because just maybe...um, they work & people like them? People still to this day play Diablo 2 & Starcraft.
I'm glad flagship is bringing back a dungeon crawler which is enjoyable and adding just enough 'refreshment' to a genre which desperately needs it. This game IS fun.
If you don't like it don't play it. For those who appreciate a solid dungeon crawl - get a beta key and enjoy. Those who claim 'clone, clone, clone' - go dev your own game that is unique in everyway and is a 'new diablo'...o wait, you can't, won't, and just like complaining because it makes your e-peen go up +10.
This is just from the pyromancer class too. All classes have several ways to spec due to the fact anyone can use any weapon or armor type,and everyone can dual wield or use shields. Some classes do it better than others-a gadgeteer cannot be as good a defensive tank as a bloodletter or a pyromancer for example,and a bloodletter could not be as good an aoe gun user as a marksman gadgeteer,but whatever you choose to make is effective.
Wow you make it seem revolutionary, especially when its been dumbed down from diablo 2's standards.
When you put a point in a skill you generally get a piece of crap which you have to add points to passive skills just to make it worth using. This means there isnt 30 skills per class, theres like 8 or 9. And for a long time your usually stuck with 1 active skill which sucks up all your mana.
1st, yes, you gain 8-9 skills, but you can choose them between 40-50 skill. So you must know your way around or you risk messing up your character, and if you play elite you cannot respec. So this is why pepople like you won't play this game and spens your time complaining on forum: it's way beyong your ability.
2nd drain mana Oo you get so much mana that you are NEVER out of mana, perhaps for a wizardish char you shouldn't put all your points in strenght...
3rd if you don't like the game, fine by me, rate it one (how mature) and politely explain why. your attitude is simply childish and really getting on people's nerves
ps forgot, about the part revolutionary, i can add that wow ( a game i played a lot and i still like and rate 10/10) was NOTHING revolutionary, was simply perfectly designed to give people what they wanted after the succes of games like DAOC, and it used lore, races and places from the warcraft series, which was a game designed, like mythos, by the same people that were part of the original Blizzard...
