Anyone still sitting on the fence about this game should really give it a try, its a lot of fun. I started like 4 days ago and I've been running around with zerg vs zerg stuff and ganking and having a blast.

Get in the guild and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Can vouch that raioner has already contributed to end game PVP fighting with us as a healer showcasing his silver-elo league skills in every battle... not bad for having been in game less than a week.

whats the official verdict? is the anti cheat working? is the game good and fun?

The tutorial area was like an hour long of bullshit fetch quest garbage and when it finally ended I wandered off to a desert to find cool poo poo but i did not have a level 69 pick axe of mining so i couldnt get good rocks and turned it off.

Well -- its hard to get people who

a.) can commit to scrims/practice
b.) have decent spec
c.) have non-arthritis hands

We currently have 2 teams in the works but inevitably i predict it to fizzle out -- the nice thing is you can scrim in relatively cheap gear in royals now(theyre soft IP capped).

I guess I'm thinking more of all that new land grab crap. I logged in for 5 minutes and found that there are 3 gvgs total when I looked because its alliance quest online. So I imagine if someone actually does take a territory in mercia they just send in 4 attacks making it impossible.

Still unbanned, just closed anticheat in taskmanager during startup and it doesnt prevent cheatengine from letting me speedhack just like before. Made a fresh t4 account and I'm doubling my attackspeed and running at 1.2x speed to gank people with a couple of friends. Will report back.

I'd like to think my various guides on how to speedhack, zoom hack and the like caused the devs to fix these loopholes. The game used to be plauged by speedhacking botters, less so now.

Couldn't be because of the anti cheat? You're the reason there's less cheating, for sure.

GvG being tied to territory conquest is the one thing about the game I think is still badly designed/broken.

After returning and playing for a few hours. I can see a number of changes they need to make. The game continues to have promise of a ARPG style MMO except it is once again having the work squandered. I feel like I said the same thing in the Round Table. Which I am sure is once again full of try hard top guilds if it even still exists, those whom only PvP and have no ability to imagine something other than PvP.

1) The assumption that players will move to PvP if they put the best stuff in Red is wrong and has been proven so since the alpha of this game, and we are now 1 year after release. Only a subset of people will do this and while the game is enjoying a "brief" hike in players in the short term, the numbers will once again flat line after 3 months because of the same old issues. All the people playing now are simply those who wouldn't pay a box cost because the game could be another disaster. Those players now get to try the game for free.

2) They need to split out PvE and PvP. There is a group of players (RuneScape) and many more who would enjoy a brainless PvE grind and support the game. Currently those players simply quit the game just like the 97% of the starting population after they got ganked by XxxXEliteDudeXxxxXX420 one too many times. Additional revenue could pay to continue to get newly added content and actually start building a staff again at that company.

However, sadly the company has proven to stick to a PvP mentality which simply doesn't work and hasn't worked for nearly 20 years of gaming. What they came up with did not change the mold, and the game was on life support until this (FTP) last ditch effort was done.

Again this post really isn't supposed to be negative, just the reality the developers refuse to admit. Also 5v5 was garbage from the get go, and while it has its place in AO, it isn't in the current implementation, nor will it ever be.

Errr -- are you advocating that they add safe PVE in this game beyond yellow zones? Isnt that sort of against the whole idea of the game?

I think he's saying the vast majority of untapped potential market for the game are things like Runescape players who want a safe, rewarding PVE experience. It may be against the whole idea of the game but if your idea isn't working to keep your company afloat maybe it was a bad idea to begin with.

On the other hand, runescape players are just going to play runescape. You're unlikely to wean them away to a new game regardless of what you do.

"Maybe Albion should be Runescape" doesn't sound particularly feasible. Most of the existing systems would have to go entirely because they just don't function if there's nothing taking player gear out of the back end of the loop because people can do everything in perfect safety.

Except thered be no reason to play albion vs. a game like POE which is PVE centric, right?

this game's biggest issues were a dwindling available playerbase and the removal of small gang viable ganking.

the massive influx of people from f2p helps those issues as there are so many retarded foreigners with 600 ping feeding you infinite gear

It's never been impossible to kill people in Albion -- the only time ganking sucked was late NA hours when the zones were kinda empty.
