True Games Interactive today announced details about PvP and cooperative gameplay in Mytheon, the online action/RPG in development at Petroglyph Studios.
Players can participate in PVP by visiting Battlemaster Avitus in Argos
where they will automatically be matched with other players who have
also joined the PVP matching queue. By participating in PVP, players
are automatically ranked on the Mytheon leaderboards and they will also
receive experience from defeating other players. Arena PVP in Mytheon
will come in two flavors at the time of commercial launch: 1v1 and 2v2.
In order to be successful in PVP scenarios, it will be important for
teams to be comprised of unique classes with diverse battlesets to
allow for greater flexibility to properly support each other.
PVP Arenas
* Ring of Destiny (1vs1) - The Ring of Destiny is a
gladiatorial arena once used for sport by the god Hades and his
companions. Long since abandoned, the arena is now used by Stonecasters
to test their abilities against each other.
* Isle of war - For centuries, Spartans would come to this
secret isle to duel warriors and mythological creatures of great power
to prove their might. With Sparta under siege, the isle is now used by
mighty Stonecasters who continue this ancient competition.
* Olympus - High above the clouds sits this arena created
purely for the amusement of Zeus. With the gods distracted, brave
Stonecasters travel to this arena to prove their strength and prowess.
PVP Scenarios
* The PVP scenarios in Mytheon offer players the ability to
battle up to four on four in distinct settings including the Forge, the
Forest of Despair and the Prison of Ares. Below is a look at what each
scenario offers.
* The Forge - Hidden deep beneath the earth, Hephaestus'
private forge houses some of the most awesome and terrible creations in
all of Greece, among them a great automaton known simply as the War
Machine. Stonecasters beware!
* Forest of Despair - The creature known as Lamia is so vile,
so cruel, that even the darkest gods have shunned her. Cast into the
Forest of Despair, Lamia waits for would-be heroes to cross her path in
hopes of appeasing her insatiable hunger for mortal flesh.
* Prison of Ares - Deep beneath Mount Olympus, two vicious
captives are kept at bay in the Prison of Ares: the Beast of Fury and
the Mistress of Torment. Only those most brave--some would say
foolhardy--would dare venture into the prison to challenge these
monstrous foes.
