/alb/ - Albion Online General:

>>150494215
Why the shit does it take so long to apply patches

>>150494358
seems pretty quick compared to other mmos for me

If your doing it now, it might be worse since its down for maint for another 20 mins :/

>>150494571
What founder pack did you get mate, i went for the cheapest one

>>150494712
same, first day of playing for me today when it finally goes live

kinda hype :)

>>150494804
be nice if we spawn near each other

>>150494215
From what I've seen the game is pretty simplistic
Not a lot of class/skill diversity

Which is disappointing since I like iso-mmos but they're few and far between.

>>150494929
Yeh, have no idea how the spawning works. Im guessing its faction specific, but when i created a character last night i didnt see a choice of faction so maybe thats a later thing?

>>150495057
I like that its simplistic, gives runescape vibes

Sounds perfect for 2nd screening when im doing other stuff

And then 1st screening when big stuff happens like dungeons and guild events :)

>>150495071
Nah mate it's randomized it's the same as it was last beta.
I'm spawning in Queen's Highland Landing wbu?

>>150495132
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?

>>150495057
and i dont think there are classes, i think you just choose a path to grind and grind it :)

>>150495189
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?

>>150495256
if you see Jurten it'll be me mate

>>150495256
>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

>>150495368
>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

>>150495470
Nah mate end game the point is to fuck over everyone else and get food territory and expand

>>150495282
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

>>150495470
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

>>150495546
>fuck over everyone else and get food territory and expand
To what end?
Just stroking your own dick?

>>150495692
>once you spend 100s of hours getting legendary gear your maxed
>get ganked
>lose everything
Sounds like a good use of 100 hours.

>>150495735
>Just stroking your own dick?
Yeap.

>>150495735
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 :)

>>150495876
>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

>>150496021
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

>>150496021
did you ever play planet side 1?

i think its gona be like that

with crafting, farming and morale mechanics

>>150496230
>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

>>150496301
>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?

>>150497309
it's a one map entire world thing so the combat is designed to be playable on shitty ping so gear+numbers

>>150497309
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

>>150500637
i cant get the client to update, keeps failing to extract something somewhere on my c drive that doesnt exist :/

>>150500953
oh its a hidden folder and its dumped literally about 10gig in here

eugh, i just wanted to play...

>>150500953
>>150501141
had the same problem either A wipe everything for albion and try again or update it from another comp

>>150494215
super digging it so far, the constant progression is nice :)

>>150494215
do you lose money when you die?

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

>>150514364
no, you lose all your gear tho

>>150519176
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

>>150521352
should be able to gather and shit on a good tablet
I doubt you'd want to pvp

How do I join baka?

>>150522502
>joining baka
>playing with /vg/ ever

>>150522502
i would also like to join bakka

>>150519176

>>150523394
I have played with /vg/ in most games and it's always fine

dont die on me shitty thread

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.

>>150530438
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

>>150494215
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)

>>150532860
red zone mountains, no one goes there since they are all carebear pussies and pvp guilds are all in blackzones

Why can't there be a single /vg/ guild that isn't full of literal losers in life with an inferior sense of humor?

>>150519215
that depends on the zone the easiest ones you lose a few shekels is all

anyone near icicle ridge?

>>150556349
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

>>150580760
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?

>>150581867

healer POV

>>150581867
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

>>150605342
who is that sexy beast with that staff?

someone post HQ screenshots please and convince me to play teh game.

How is playing a priest type character in this game?

I just like support spells. Using staff, polearm or mace is a plus.

>>150607829
there are two types of healing staves, nature and holy

nature has alot of hots and aoes while holy has channels and single targets

>>150607772
Game's pretty ugly desu, but the grind is aight if you're into that kinda thing.

>>150607772
games ugly, its build for phones

but just watch the trailer

it is what it looks like

crafting based mmo with a neat guild v guild endgame compenent

one selling point the dont push enough is its all one server that gets units attatched to as people join, so the community will never be seperated :)
