Albion Online is Unrecognizable in 2023

[willprotector]

Albion is a great game if you don't mind your gaming experience being like the real world. This game is brutal. Outside of the protected zones it is a wasteland of ganking, guild empires, and faction zergs. You can, if you know the tricks, explore the whole world and bring back some pretty damn good loot. However, if you let your guard down for a minute in the non-safe zones- you're dead.

This game can be really fun, and progression system is very skill-use based like Runescape. Expect to die, don't wear anything you aren't prepared to lose, and find your own niche in the world. Otherwise just crawl into a ball and wail about all the shit you lost.

75% of the comments complaining about Albion are made by people that have clearly not played Albion.

One thing I think is really cool is that everything is player crafted even items you loot from mobs or chest was crafted by someone and you can even see on the item who crafted it.

Sad to say but I almost forgot about you force. I've been following you since high school and I'm 30 now. Glad to see your still doing your thing I'm considering trying this game out now 👍

I wanted to love this game, it's good but the zerg kills it. I do not enjoy running around in large packs owning nor do I like running in small packs losing everything to wandering large packs. At the end of the day, it all comes down to that. I don't mind big guilds, I just don't like the large group spam-clicking lag packs. Just not fun.

I like Albion Online sometimes.. but I don't really think its Open World, as only a part of an area can be accessed at one time

10:44 other people can enter solo dungeon within 90 seconds upon entering it. So in zones that people can die in (red, black) there could be pvp in solo dungeon, unless you party up but that’s unlikely in red or black zones

this is why I love your channel right here, you revisit stuff.

Albion Online is WAY TOO HARDCORE for most gamers. Full loot loss on death in the black and red zones are a massive turn off for most. But, if you enjoy the thrill of hunting or being hunted and wear gear/weapons ARE ACTUALLY VALUABLE sign up :)

I love Albion, I spent most of my time in it farming green and corrupted dungeons. I do not like the zerg stuff but honestly if you have a brain and enough skill you can walk around black/red zones without getting killed.

I keep looking at Albion and passing on it because I've got so many games in my backlog that I keep trying to get through, and having my time sucked away by another MMO will not help. I keep getting tempted though.

Ayeee an Albion video 💪🏽. Been playing off and on since around launch. Just recently got back into it heavy and got like 7 of the homies to hop in, it’s waaaay better than the early days 🤣.

I would 100% be playing Albion Online if it wasn't a PvP game. My days of joining guilds and PVP'ing are over. I just want to play with friends casually, perhaps do a few dungeons, some exploration, work up skills and professions, etc. I don't want to get ganked by hardcore players who rob me of all my hard earned effort. That unfortunately seems to be an essential core of this game which is a shame because it otherwise looks like the kind of game I'd love to play.

If Albion had Vrising/battlerite type combat I'd be sold.

[oGolf]

i would love this game is you could zoom out 30% more

[Groove_Gamer]

I also like to revisit games... if devs pay me.

[Andre_vyent]

hmm sounds all good and well, whats the down sides
?

[jasontang]

Is this game same with PC godsofwar online with IGG company which lost long ago? I saw the faction battle really attracted me, nobody make godsofwar faction battle game even though it was so much fun.

CASUAL PLAYERS TURN AWAY!!!

EDIT: After 404 hours of gameplay, the game is fun and i think how the skill leveling up tree is great HOWEVER I got banned 3 days ago on the accusation of BOTTING. I HAVE A 1 MILLION PLUS FAME on gathering (fame is exp) and for new players that's a lot. I'm gatherer by trait like every other game. So i guess farming every for 1 and half hours everyday while watching youtube on the second monitor is considered as botting. FFS. Have tried to appeal the ban via email but no response. They even block my phone from review the app. SO HERE I AM and to make matters worst. I have JUST bought a 30 days premium via with 300 USD worth of gold (+ skins and a couple 100 usd at least more because i see the potential is in this game).

YOU HAVE TO USE META WEAPONS to defend yourself in PVP zones or face getting rekt in seconds and to stack that the META weapons are EXTREMELY expensive (which is fine to a certain extent) HOWEVER the to craft and gather the specific resource in order to craft use weapon/armor top tier is GATE KEPT( along with 80% of the game's content) by MANY GUILDS (they camp the zones 24/7). You risk everything in your inventory to even attempt the journey to said zones. Granted it doesn't cost much but in gathering gear you STAND NO CHANCE AGAINST PLAYERS IN PVP GEAR (usually come in a group of 3-10 so even the BEST OF THE BEST GEAR WILL NOT SAVE YOU). If you go with combat gear you're basically crippling yourself on the gathering buff.


65 hours: If you're not into PVP and can't vibe with cut throats (certain guilds) then do not bother downloading. Granted the game is fun at first however definitely recommend watching a guide before anything else as the game is fairly punishing when you don't know what you're doing as you progress pass mid tier, it becomes very grindy. The game forces you into pvp in mid-upper tier zones. Btw for context, blue and yellow are safe zones whereas red and black are full loot zones. Market is pretty much controlled by the "Cartel" so dont bother opening public crafting lots (They'll drain you via free methods, translation you loss a lot of in game money)

Players attacking you mid gathering in a yellow zone (dont lose gear but silver for repairing) just for the heck of it becomes annoying after awhile. In higher tier zones (red and black), gankers roam the area waiting for you to pass through and burst you down and loot everything you have. (recommend cheap gear to save on cost)
OR
You can prog in safer zones where resource nodes are mostly camped by players essentially making it harder to farm although in rare cases, players might attack you mid gathering just for the heck of it or just to remove you from the node.

TLDR; snail pace prog in save zones OR risk your gear in pvp zones AND TRUST NO ONE or bring friends you trust along.
