/alb/ - Albion Online General:

But then what's the point.
You'll be done with character progression in just a few hours.

What do you do after that? Bland PvP?

and i dont think there are classes, i think you just choose a path to grind and grind it :)

Im not sure, if i get a choice ill choose the same :) I think my in game name is "Jofer" if you see me running around :D

What's this game? Why should I play it over other games?

Glancing over the site it looks like a rough-around-the-edges Diablo built to be like PlanetSide -- open world kill dudes be-the-best. What is it really?

if you see Jurten it'll be me mate

>and i dont think there are classes, i think you just choose a path to grind and grind it :)
That's my point
They still have the trinity but everyone's wearing very similar gear and the skillset is pretty small.

Have you seen the progression its huge

Each of these nodes has 10 tiers of specialisation i believe

Its gona be a big grind if anything haha

>Its gona be a big grind if anything haha
Skyforge was like that and it got boring as all fuck though the larger issue was getting cockblocked by weekly limits.

This game looks the same: easy access to all the skills but any further progression just makes your numbers slightly larger

Nah mate end game the point is to fuck over everyone else and get food territory and expand

Full loot, Everything is player made

And its all about working towards end game pvp where you control resources in guilds and factions and then trade based on what resources your faction / guild has under its protection

Its like risk but every number is a player and theyre fighting and crafting and gathering :)

And its all one big no pop limit server

No branches or fragments or shards :)

So if 100k people play

100k people will be at war and contributing on the same map

end game isnt gear aquistion

everything is player made

once you spend 100s of hours getting legendary gear your maxed

its guild v guild control for end game

>fuck over everyone else and get food territory and expand
To what end?
Just stroking your own dick?

>once you spend 100s of hours getting legendary gear your maxed
>get ganked
>lose everything
Sounds like a good use of 100 hours.

>Just stroking your own dick?
Yeap.

for control of the map

your fighting for tour borders

and if you lose everything you usually crafted it

the 100s of hours is to get to the skill level to craft it

crafting it takes like a couple minutes?

it might not be a game for you, but it sounds well designed to me :)

>the 100s of hours is to get to the skill level to craft it
>crafting it takes like a couple minutes?
I thought the main limitation was with resources required to craft the gear

>it might not be a game for you, but it sounds well designed to me :)
Just seems the main focus is on PvP but the PvP isn't very interesting
It's just zerging around a map

You cant just zerg around the map, you can only contest neighboring tiles on the overmap

And they in theory should have people holding the line

did you ever play planet side 1?

i think its gona be like that

with crafting, farming and morale mechanics

>you can only contest neighboring tiles on the overmap
What are you even saying right now
What is stopping me from getting a group of fuccbois, walking into a PvP zone, and showing everyone who's the boss of that tile

>did you ever play planet side 1?
No, played PS2.
My issue is that the gameplay looks rather bland because of the low skill count, not the crafting/farming/whateverelse

One hour until us cheap asses can get in

How is the combat? Does skill trump gear or numbers, or is it pretty much a "who has more dudes" kind of deal?

it's a one map entire world thing so the combat is designed to be playable on shitty ping so gear+numbers

Gear + numbers

The strategy for guilds is going to be how many nodes can a guild hold before its army is spread too thin

Its like a slower paced risk :)

well i've spent the last ten minutes trying to move copper into a chest fucking lag

i cant get the client to update, keeps failing to extract something somewhere on my c drive that doesnt exist :/

oh its a hidden folder and its dumped literally about 10gig in here

eugh, i just wanted to play...

had the same problem either A wipe everything for albion and try again or update it from another comp

super digging it so far, the constant progression is nice :)

do you lose money when you die?

Do you people even have fun playing this game? Serious question.

no, you lose all your gear tho

yes.

I kept seeing ads for this so I finally checked it out. Everyone having fun so far? How does it play on tablets? I'd be primarily using a PC, but I was gonna get a new tablet soon for travel, etc

should be able to gather and shit on a good tablet
I doubt you'd want to pvp

How do I join baka?

>joining baka
>playing with Veeky Forums ever

i would also like to join bakka

im enjoying it

but i love crafting in mmos

I have played with Veeky Forums in most games and it's always fine

dont die on me shitty thread

i was hoping it would be more active today since most people in

hello

Started with epic pack, any good places for T4-5 stone farming?
I'm getting my 7 plots of land to tier 5.
I became rich as fuck with the exchange currency since I combined with other 7 friends our gold.

Have fun grinding past tier 4.

I hadn't really heard much about this game, and the ads for it that I saw make it look like some sort of F2P, clash of clans garbage. I didn't really believe that it was a sandbox game, much less one with full loot pvp, that's pretty much commercial suicide these days. I think this game will be more appealing to an older set of mmo players who cut their teeth on UO, Asherons Call, DAOC, etc. Lots of those people work during the day and aren't on summer vacation. I am definitely gonna try this when I get home from work but I don't know anything about the game really so I can't shitpost about it here atm

Before I buy this game, I have a connection problem atm and am moving soon so I'll get it eventually then but for right now I am wondering.

My internet is stable at like 50ping then every 45seconds-1minute or so it will spike to like 900-1000 for a good 5-10seconds. How bad will this fuck me in Albion? I don't know how fast it is to be able to pvp, so maybe I wont even be able to pvp in the time I play before I move (within a month)

red zone mountains, no one goes there since they are all carebear pussies and pvp guilds are all in blackzones

J O I N B A K A

...

BAKA A SHIT
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

J O I N B A K A

>baka
Why can't there be a single Veeky Forums guild that isn't full of literal losers in life with an inferior sense of humor?

how is that projection working out for you?

save

Join b akak

How would this be for a duo? Would we just be getting rolled by zergs or could we have fun and do shit

Sorry but I'm a jew in this type of games, I'm using this time to handpick which guild members I'll keep when the game comes out.
When someone zergs the whole group can be seen in the minimap.

Yeah being a jew seems like a good profession in this game. I love sandboxes with complex economics. Oy vey!

that depends on the zone the easiest ones you lose a few shekels is all

anyone near icicle ridge?

no, yellow zone silver drop is 30% of the worth of your items as in "durability"

something tells me the community of this game is gonna be a small but hardcore community like eve.

CAN I BUILD A PALADIN/WARRIOR PRIEST

SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY

THANK YOU FRIENDS

Cont.
BAKA faggots press die in a YELLOW ZONE.
I can't stop laughing, JOIN BAKA.
Posting ss soon

I never played mobas, but I assume it's sort of click or hover-based targeting with just a few spells/skills that you use? For healing support can you select teammates based on some sort of party list or you gotta mouseover/click on them?

youtube.com/watch?v=P7CFKAxZ774

healer POV

the targetting aspect is like wow (target and press q) or click where you want the aoe to drop
the movement aspect is like diablo you have to click where you want to go

His horse trashed.
