Mythos Extended Downtime!
By LadyTiggs on 2007-11-30 12:00 AM
Hello Mythosians, Can you believe that it is December already? Time goes by so fast when you are making a game or two! While everyone is gearing up for the holiday season we are getting preparing for expanding our Mythos audience. To do so means we will be taking the server offline on Monday, December 3rd, 2007 at 10:00 AM PST. This will take a few hours and expect Mythos to be back in service at approximately 4:00 PM PST, earlier if possible!
So Monday, if you’re expecting to play Mythos in the middle of the day, you might have to wait! It seems they are updating the servers and getting ready for the upcoming patch (which is in, or nearing its in-house testing phase). This downtime is to upgrade hardware in preparations for the patch.
That’s right, it’s that time again. Time for another Zone 3 teaser! Hopefully everyone enjoyed the Ice Drake last teaser. I have another concept art piece for you guys today. This time it’s of our Ice Elemental, one of my favorites. Check him out!

So more hints as to an icy cold Zone 3! That’s definitely cool! (Horribly, mind numbing pun definitely intended.)
Taylor has added a new post to his Mythos blog. It’s yet another teaser: emotes are on their way into Mythos!
Today, Travis sent me the latest build of Mythos and I got to take a look at the Mossy Gothic template; and it looks pretty sweet. It kind of brings me back to the Act 3 dungeons in Diablo 2, but brighter and more texture detailed! Right now it still needs some props, but those will come soon.
Anyways, I wont steal all of your time, so here they are. Two of the new Emotes, /cry and /cheer
A video is included in his blog demonstrating the two emotes in action. Be sure you check it out!
On the Mythos Beta forums, Mythos lead designer Travis Baldree has been updating the player base with the plans and changes coming in the next patch for Mythos’ Beta test. From bugfixes, to missing textures, to balance issues, and new features, Travis lists them all in his Not-really-a-blog-but-sort-of-kind-of post, which is being updated almost daily.
Some new-coming additions include the addition of Hardcore and Elite mode (for all players), achievements, a few new items, and adjustments to the quest log.
No date for the patch has been announced yet, but these will all be implemented before the larger Zone 3 addition that is also being worked on.
If you’re not in the Mythos Beta test and would like to join, don’t be afraid to tell someone on our forums. There is a thread made specifically for asking for and receiving invites. Alternately, you can join the Mythos IRC channel and ask Sulfuric or G-15 there.
