The moment they chaged the art style the game died.
This is because nothing can look cool, scary or ominous with cartoon graphics, so now many people have left or like me will play for an hour then quit, i did spend £350 afterall.
The game was niche, and now the devs have split that already small community.
They need more funding, but the game now looks worse than it ever did.
Anyone new looking into pantheon will see the game looking totally **** and half of the community talking **** about the game, as i have, because you deserve it for making the wrong choices.
They will make no more money, atleast not enough to make a difference.
Pantheon is gone and the MMO is not coming.
If i can say this after spending £350 surely you can also, no need to bag hold, its over.

I am guessing you have never played any of the Borderlands games. It very well fits the definition of cool and ominous while being cartoonish in graphics.
There is nothing wrong with cartoonish graphics, and they often enhance the game play of a game, since they work better for people with low end gaming machines. Most old school gamers don't really care about graphics that much, they care about the game play. I'll still play games with ascii graphics if the game is good.
Also, the project died years ago, you just never noticed.

I would have preferred realistic graphics too, but from what I've seen so far, I don't think the new graphics are nearly as bad as everyone thinks. I don't prefer them. But it won't stop me from playing Pantheon. Especially since based on Joppa-speak during the Q&A he did say they are trying to up the maturity level and make it darker and more gritty. The art style with a mature theme, will still look good.
I started following PRotF well before the graphics were confirmed. So, although I am not a fan of the Fortnite graphic style, the graphics are literally the last reason I wanted to "support" the game. With that said though, I am skeptical about 247 being adopted as a more long-term monetary solution. I am perfectly ok with using 247 to simultaneously generate income and allow for the community to feel like they have more of a role in actually "supporting" instead of just donating a few dollars and "following" for the next 8 years, complaining about things we disagree with -= Raise Hand =-
The graphics change didn't kill the game - and may actually have saved it... or if nothing else, saved everyone's time by being able to speed up development into either being successful... or not, within the next couple of years instead of dragging this out for another 10 years.

Did you check out the new screenshots they added today?

I’m happy with the graphics update.
Breath of the Wild looks awesome and the update reminds me of this, plenty of the shared screenshots look dark and not cartoony.
You speak for only yourself Grimseethe, your own opinion and nothing more. You also share your opinion in a poor manner.

Know what doesn't make a company want to bring you on the team?
I could have delivered on every promise and more and even sold them the rights of multiple RPGs/ MMOs ive created, but they would never listen to one person.

Can you list some of the games you've released? I'm curious to check out your work.
I don't know when the game died, or if its truly dead, but I have to throw my lot in with the people who don't like the changes. In fact, I'm in the hate camp. I am just returning from a couple months away (I took someone's advice, can't remember who, who said a way to avoid the frustration of the snails pace is to just take a month or two away, let things develop, then come back). I even upped my pledge. And I come back to this. I watched the art video, and I literally, out loud, said "F*******ck" the instant I saw the blue teleportation portal. I don't want to play an overwatch/Fortnite looking MMO. I'm sorry, graphics have never been the end-all-be-all for me, and I am open to a range of visuals. But this is just terrible. I have been following this game because it had a gritty high fantasy vibe. Whether it looked like Bless, Lineage, Neverwinter, Rift, FFXIV, an updated EQ, there are many tones and styles I would have been fine with if the gameplay and spirit of the game was what was described. But something that looks like WoW and Fortnite just had a baby? Seriously?
