Development Recap (May 19) - Albion Online Video Podcast
The Albion Online team is back with an update to discuss progress being made on the game as it applies to the road map laid out several months ago.
Comments
I'm not a huge fan of using "portals" in yet another game. To me, they shoul have kept to the port idea, but I guess it wasn't panning out.
I am still on the fence regarding this game. Will there be enough to do that isn't just an open world moba? Sandbox means play in a variety of ways at the players choice.
I think they should make all enemies visible on the map not just 10+ groups because gank groups will just limit themselves to 9 to avoid being detected.
The random spot point is a good idea but how random is it? will people eventually learn all the points and just camp them like in other games?
All in all these look like a good improvements to the game and at least proves they are considering various options for combating the griefers that seek to destroy all pvp games given the opportunity.
So you forked over $100 for a known pvp game, now you are disgusted by the fact there is pvp in a known pvp game that you payed for? I think I'm a little lost here.. Did you just see the name of the game and think "well this sounds like a good title, please take $100 now!"
Adding detection on the map to detect 10+ Players is something that kills the PVP Experience, this should remain anonymous players should be allowed to gank freely as it was in the original alpha as it was the danger should always be there like in "Dark Fall" same as in Alpha testing.
They have yet to address why resource downgrading was removed from the game example converting tier 8 iron to tier 5 iron and such it was in alpha should have stayed.
Many of the houses / Housing Features were removed from the game, many of the original housing models.
The whole way PVP is being addressed just sucks it seems like the company is trying to cater to two different play styles here and this is a problem, I always knew of Albion during alpha before they banned my account a couple of months ago for being a "Hard-Core" pvp game and this is what I enjoyed about Albion was being able to roam around and gank other people...
Sadly I too wasted like 150+ on this game and I too think anyone looking for PVP should skip over this game and go to "Dark Fall" or some other PVP game I just do not see Albion as a game being worth playing after many of the changes I have seen being made, and even before my ban during this beta for trading some resources across games I have to say I was actually as a player getting extremely bored with the game...
I loved the concept of the crafting, but the PVE was absolutely the most boring shit I have ever played, and the only fun I somewhat had was PVP just going out and ganking people was awesome.
Albion as a game has taught me to watch who I back now especially being a backer for over 4 years in this game, and expecting it would be great, which explains why my entire clan left this game for Black Desert, not that I like Black Desert anyways but they left this game way before I did for this very likely reason they knew what was coming before it steeped this low, and I am not sure how a game could turn out like this from something positive to something so negative, I understand every game has its fans, but truthfully I think a lot of people have to agree there just are better games.
This really shouldn't be a surprise, yet judging by how so many people defended this game, I imagine it'll be a surprise to quite a few. And a very unpleasant one judging by the comments above, it seems.
