WHAT THAT SMELL LIKE?!


Kim you are a good guy but you get way too emotional and then try to convince everyone that you aren't upset about something no really you aren't

Every time I've played with you - wushu and ark and conan and god knows what other dumb wastes of time - it's been a decent experience but you are prone to getting mad at games

I'm sorry that my criticism of your bot network made you mad, I don't care and am only posting this because I'm literally on the shitter

interesting how fast any criticism about gdn is met with scrambling over each other to its defense. why do you guys care so much if me, forge and few other losers dont like your sketchy bot?

alternatively, what if this thread was about a bad and dead video game? no? alright

We don't really, its just that forum pvp is better than albion pvp, that is why we all hang here pvp'ing rather than the game, come on man you know this...

That's fair, video games are usually a (un)healthy outlet for me, which most of the time I enjoy but 5% of the time gets me really salty.

the game loop got stale to me. kill mans, loot poo poo, sell it, rinse repeat forever. i need some variety in my mans killing. grinding up new weapons for hours in blighted bog aint really it. idk what dodgin's gang is doing though. i guess theyre still playing

This is the bad part of Albion, highlighted. The gameplay is good, but the loop is a bit shallow.

They announced the first content patch to be released on September 27th:

https://albiononline.com/en/update/Joseph

quote:

Joseph is our very first post-release content update coming to you on September 27. We are bringing you an action-packed Arena mode filled to the brim with thrilling fights, impressive rewards, and plenty of ways to earn bragging rights.

On top of that, there will be additional open world PvP opportunities with the new “Treasure Sites,” two new Tier 6 group expeditions, Improvements to UI/UX, easy-to-use Smart Casting, and new weapon abilities to add even more variety!

Head out, Adventurer. The Arena awaits!


ENTER THE ARENA
The Arena is a new mode where you are matched against worthy opponents in a 5v5 control point battle. Be in the team to capture the most Runestones, maintain a high score, and you will be granted redeemable Arena Sigils for great rewards. Ready to put your skills to the test? Need to practice for higher Tier PvP battles? Enter the Arena and prove yourself with your friends, guild mates, or on your own.

ARENA REWARDS
Should your team be victorious, Arena Sigils will be awarded. Arena Sigils can be redeemed for rewards or traded with others. Each character can collect three Arena Sigils for the first three winning matches per day with a maximum of nine Arena Sigils per day. Rewards are mostly of the vanity-variety and will make characters stand out.

TREASURE SITES
The old Relic Locker sites around Albion have been replaced with Treasure Sites. More than ten of these locations, uniquely designed to fit their respective biomes, can be found throughout the yellow, red and black zones. These sites are littered with silver, literally.

Enter this area with a small party or alone to keep the riches for yourself, if you dare, as it is not without risk. Those who enter these sites are automatically flagged as “hostile” and should alert to ruthless looters.

Not only can players collect the silver laying around, but also smash Urns for more. Attempting to destroy a Sarcophagus will unleash a ghost. Those who defeat the Sarcophagus Ghost are rewarded with even more silver. The old Relic Lockers are now located in the center of each Treasure Site and will be on a one-hour cooldown after being looted.

SMART CAST
The eagerly-awaited Smart Casting mechanic will be added as an option in game settings. Select from two new options based on your playstyle.

With ”Quick Cast on Button Press” selected, ground-targeted abilities will be cast in the direction of the cursor when pressing down the skill button. Or, with the ”Quick Cast on Button Release“ setting, a spell area indicator will appear at the position of the mouse when pressing and holding an ability key. When the pressed key is released, the ability will be cast. The “Normal Spell Cast” will remain as the default setting. These will be adjustable under: Settings > Game Settings > Mouse Control.


THREE SISTERS EXPEDITION
Through an expedition to find a lost Royal Guard suspected of being a traitor, you are lead to an old monastery where three age-defying sisters of Morgana’s cult await intruders. These sisters lust for minds of weak men to corrupt and intelligent women for stimulating conversations.


ETERNAL BATTLE EXPEDITION
An ancient city, was formerly used as a satellite of Caerleon that is now overrun by undead soldiers from a battle which happened ages ago. An expedition is sent out to drive out the undead, end the Governors eternal duty to defend the city, and bring and reclaim the city for the living. However, the Governor is not so willing to relinquish his duties, and must be defeated!

UI IMPROVEMENTS
Joseph brings some wonderful face-lifts to some of our menu interfaces. Feast your eyes on the improved appearances of the Island merchant menu and the social menu. Additionally, there will be user experience improvements to the social menu such as directly sending whispers to your friends and adding them to a party within the menu.

NEW ABILITIES
Five new abilities have been added for Bows, Daggers, Cursed Staffs, Swords and Spears starting at Tier 5. These give even more variety to these weapons’ playstyles. One of these abilities is the new Ray of Light ability for Bows which will root the enemy on successful arrow contact. Daggers now have a sneaky ability, called “Shadow Edge,” to teleport to an enemy or ally on contact. Successfully hit your enemy, and they will be rooted for a short period of time.

ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS
New Effects for the Ice Storm and Armor Piercer abilities
Additional Ability effect improvements
Dungeons and Mob Camps have treasure chests added for looting
Essences can be used in potion crafting
Dozens of minor improvements and countless bug fixes
BugFixes_changes.jpg
CHANGES AND BUG FIXES
This update also includes many changes and bug fixes such as:

Open world/Hellgate fame has been increased.
Reduced the channeling time to exit dungeons.
Rebalanced some bosses.
Expeditions now have a gear cap dependent on tier.

Im not super thrilled about more expeditions but you gotta keep solo players happy-ish. I do like the arenas as it will give newer players/teams a way to actually practice GvGs and the chest changes seem pretty dope.

arenas are dumb as gently caress, do hellgates if you want 5v5 experience

they already have yellow zones and yellow hellgates for risk free pvp, why the gently caress do you need more of it?

HGs are a good way to get into the idea of 5v5 but theyre still pretty different from GvG.. arenas will be exact replicas of GvG.

there need to be actual open world objectives, that's the thing, there is no reason to go anywhere, other than to pvp unless you're the top .5% of the playerbase.

People usually gather or farm mobs with their mount out for protection. It will now be a race for them to mount before you can hit. Max range whispering bow is really gonna shine here.

It's a good change for those of us that like small group or solo ganking. Mount speed is so fast that people can mount even when getting pounded on.

Mesmerizing eyebrows is my specialty
Hopefully the arena stuff turns out good. It is great seeing people crying on various forums (not here though, seems to be mostly internal drama here instead :v: ) how the open world will die because of it and that they have no intention of adding more open world stuff when the main focus on the next patch is both gvg and open world pvp. For now it is all words on a page at this point so who knows if they deliver but come on, do people not read? The future addition of being able to steal resources from claimed land like a filthy leech sound entertaining to me at least.

removing the only reason to be in the open world (pvp) is dumb, and anyone who supports that is dumb.q
