Albion online has just released a little while ago and the game is getting fucking nutty. What is Albion online you ask? From their website:
>Albion Online is a sandbox Massively Multiplayer Online Game set in an open medieval fantasy world. It has a fully player-driven economy; all equipment items are player-crafted. You can freely combine armor pieces and weapons in our unique classless system – you are what you wear. Explore the world and tackle challenging PvE content. Engage other adventurers in small- or large-scale PvP, and conquer territories. Gather. Craft. Trade. Conquer.

Basically Albion Online is an overhead isometric open world pvp mmo. Combat is akin to league of legends and diablo. You gain attacks from your weapons (q,w,e,r) with utility spells from your armor. While combat is simple and straight forward, there is a large variety of weapons with a few different armors. This allows you to customize your build based on your play style. The game is grindy with player crafting a large part of the game.

>Why play this shitty game?
/pol/ and /vg/ have teamed up to form a guild Albion History X to form a guild of likeminded individuals to reap havoc and trigger lefties when ever possible. In beta the highest populated guild and alliance was Red Army, a commie guild with hammer and sickle guild emblem. Aside from that the game is super fun all around, and normies butthurt easily.

>What does Albion cost?
The game costs $30 with an optional subscription. P2w no? Well in game you can buy the subscription via silver (the in game currency) or gold (p2p currency) which lands you a load of different perks in game. The system is akin to EVE online.

>What should I play?
There are so many different builds you can play basically anything you want. Want to play cookie cutter assassins, mages, archers, fighters, etc..? Sure. Want to build something unique and off the wall? Sure. Want to sit in the woods and gather/craft all day? Sure.

Yeah I've heard this about a billion times before and especially when PvP is involved it boils down to 3-4 meta builds where little "builds" are actually possible

It's a tablet game
>>
>>385100180
The thing that makes different build viable is the variety of stuff to do. Some builds just aren't as good as others for some stuff (large scale pvp such as ZvZ and Gvg) which some build aren't as good for small group pvp, and other aren't good for things like pve content.
>>385100209
The only p2w aspect is gold. You can convert gold to silver. But you can also convert silver to gold. So there's a stock market type system with the gold/silver market. You buy premium, which is almost required to play, but you can buy that with either gold or silver. Your first month is included anyway, so it's like eve and plex.
>>
>>385099930
It's a shame the gameplay is complete shit.

Also if you're going to format your op like a general then fuck off to /vg/
>>
>>385100382
Thanks for admitting that the game is P2W trash with few viable classes and rather limited class optimization
>>
>>385100520
Any class can be viable. The only piece of armor which matters is your chest which gives you stat bonuses for what you're doing. The other pieces of armor can be mixed and matched for utility spells and what not. There isn't really a meta and there are a lot of viable classes.

Its pretty fucking hilarious that you have RS sitting there with one of the most successful MMO business models of all time, you copy their game, then fucking fail to copy that successful business model.

Albion will be dead in a few weeks, its financially doing so poorly they had to cancel F2P unless they bring back F2P and ditch this P2W bullshit.
>>
>>385101303
They stopped reporting it months ago since the game was dead during alpha/beta. 50% of the forum posts are

OP may have tried a little bit too much on his post. But come on it's just the same thing as calling people "try hards" for playing their bests in quick play.

>>385101303
Here's the cool thing though.

there's no asia, eu or american servers. Everyone is playing together in one big world. Soon the game is gonna come out for tablets too so I doubt this game will die in a long time.
>>
>>385099930
>The system is akin to EVE online.
You mean that system that is accepted by the EvE community as being P2W?

Yeah, great argument.

If I can buy advantages with real money its P2W. It doesnt matter if you can buy it also with ingame currency.

Runscape: It's for free but you can only do 10% of the game. Very fun..?

Albion: Pay wall, then you can do 100% of the game. If you want 5 copper ores instead of 3? Get Premium.
>>
>>385101582
>there's no asia, eu or american servers.
The servers are all based in the US you utter fucking moron. Which also means US players have a massive latency advantage over other players.

There are already guilds kicking out people from other countries because they cant DPS/Heal as well as US IPs.

it looks like they took all the shitty parts of eve online and made a game where big groups of players ride around ganking people and running from any fight where they dont outnumber people 2 to 1. Within 6 months every big guild will probably form non aggression pacts with each other and start charging people rent to play in their territory.
>>
>>385101663
>Runscape: It's for free but you can only do 10% of the game. Very fun..?
Uh, yes? Because as a free player I am on a level playing field with all other free players and members dont bother with free players. If I do sub for membership, then im equal with everyone else who is also subbed.

Albion you have to pay $30 just to get in, then sub, then also drop money on gold just to stay viable against other people who do.

When yo buy the game, you get premium for a month I think. You don't have to pay 2 times to play the game, fag.

No they don't. Do you not understand what a general is or how generals work? If a game has generals on /vg/, that doesn't bar it from being posted or discussed on /v/ you oblivious newshit. You think you're a backseat mod but you don't even know the rules you are trying to "enforce".
This is not a general. This thread doesn't follow a general format. All games are allowed to be discussed on /v/. Plenty of games that are discussed on /v/ regularly have coexisting generals on /vg/.

I don't want to pick nits but for the longest time and possibly still today EVE was 5 bucks because activating your account was 20 and the monthly sub was 15.

And now eve is free on top of being able to buy plex straight up without any irl money, whereas you have to shell out 30 dollars for Albion. Which is better?
>>
>>385109126
Honestly I'd just drop the money for Albion. In that I'm like 2 weeks behind. In Eve I am YEARS behind. I feel like I'd never get any kind of a foot in the door. I guess I could be wrong though and falling for the dramatic memes.
>>
>>385109337
That's one of the most idiotic reasons to choose one game over another, what the hell, and i didn't ask if you wanted to drop money on albion or not, i asked which is better, which is a rhetorical question honesstly, because the answer is obviously eve - paying no money is better than paying money, every time.
>>
>>385109494
Yeah no. Free or not I'd like to play a game I actually have the chance to do something in, especially since I'm spending my own time.

>>

EVE's subscription model has only changed because they kept losing so many people who left to better games. CCP is desperately trying to stay afloat these days. I'd rather pay $30 a month for a game I enjoy than stare at a spreadsheet simulator for free.
t. I paid to play EVE for 5 years

anon, i really don't fucking care about the reason eve changed it's model, how it's faring or whether it's a snorefest or not. It really doesn't matter in the context of the subscription model being better. Eve can be a piece of shit in which you smear turn all over yourself, but it's subscription model is better than Albions. I don't care whether you'd pay money for something or not, or whether product A has better taste than product B, i literally am only talking about the price, which is better in Eve.

Probably because retards think anything that mentions a fucking brand name in OP is advertising shills

Well if you are literally, solely talking about price alone, saying that something free is better than something that costs $30 without taking either of the products into account, I suppose you're right. Free is better than $30. But realistically, are you going to ever going to not take into consideration the value of each product as well as the price? If I told you I was was going to smear shit on your face for free, or sell you a delicious candy bar for $30, would you just automatically go "Yeah! Yeah! I'll take the free thing!"

>are you going to ever going to not take into consideration the value of each product as well as the price?
yes, realistically you take more than only the price into considewration, however my original argument was that someone said that it's just like eve, which it isn't.

I see, well you'd be right in that case, EVE's subscription model is better for the consumer.

this game is going to flop so fucking hard lmao
