I am totaly with you man. I played Monk in EQ1 and was expecting to want to play Monk in Pantheon too, but as I read about all the classes in the reveals I am leaning towards Summoner as the one I'm most excited to try. Don't get me wrong... I want to play all of them, but if I had to choose one as my main right now today I might have to say Summoner. :-)
Really looking forward to the changes they are going to reveal. Hopefully I will still be as excited and it won't change my mind.
Definitely the lore . High quality piece - both believable and consistent . Probably the best one in what has been published sofar - I wonder if it is somebody new who wrote it . All the details fit and the scenario makes sense globally too what I wouldn't say for many parts of the older lore .
Just wanted to mention node camping..not sure if VR is aware that people do that..specifically gold farmer types and others. Have witnessed it personally...many times. Does VR have a solution for this..
Also way back in the early days of gaming for me...I remember a game where a PC could turn into a werewolf, (don't remember the mechanics..if you had to be bitten by a werewolf or what) that meant you could only come out at night..that sunlight would burn you (same as a vampire) is this going to be intended for Pantheon? :) And you COULD be killed by a silver bullet by a hunter. (pvp) Should have added this, there was an antidote to becoming a werewolf, would have to sneak into a church and pray or was it holy water or a blessing, don't remember. Did mean a lot of skulking about at night, not to be kos. :)

Probably not, those kinds of things tend to be too easily exploited for maximum benefit.

Hmm not sure what the exploit would be, did experience turning into a werewolf..there was a way out of it..find a church and pray/be blessed. Again pretty sure I remember this as being a pvp thing. Even town guards could kill you. Had to stay alert. lol
TESO is a good example of the were-thing exploit. Most if not every high tiered tank build states "You should definately be a Vampire because the benefits are so good".
Hard not to make it step over classes roles and functionnalities. We also do not know if it's transmissible by bite or such (I don't remember seeing that anywhere in the Rogues Gallery).
My concern for harvesting is the same that it's always been, that it will provide a much easier way to progress and circumvent combat and dropped equipment. Looking at past mmos, vanguard in particular, its necessary that at least some of the components for quality crafted items be dropped. Parts of the recipe should be harvested, but not the entire recipe. Beyond that, rare harvested materials should be from nodes in dangerous areas that almost always require combat to access. Risk vs reward.
