is this shit worth playing
>>123382263
Yes
>>123382364
why
PEE
VEE
PEE
>>123382263
It is. This game is surprisingly refreshing.
I'm extremely pessimistic when it comes to video games. It's a grindfest but it's relaxing in some way.
You can build your own shops and get a tax from players using your shop. It's a crafting based game.
I haven't tried PvP yet.
(Fyi if you die on a PvP zone you lose all your shit on you)
>>123382261
rare/uncommon resources. They give a ton of fame upon gathering/refining and are used for specialty weps
will I be gimped without having the founders pack shit
or will i be okay with the 30 dollar one
>>123383249
Eh. You'll be gimped. Just get the $50 one for premium and then buy an ox for 40k silver. (Ox is used to carry shitloads of material, if you carry too much you'll slow down to a still)
>>123380671
Arcane Staffs are OP as fuck.
>>123383825
You're a retard, Arcane Staffs are shit, they have one shitty knockback, and a meager DPS spell. They don't even have any AOES at the lower tiers. GARBAGE GARBAGE GARBAGE
>>123384319
Are bow hunters any good? I'm at T3 with bow but it feels weak
>>123384319
That's where you are wrong my friend. The knockback has great potential when combined with a fire staff. The Arcane staff is one of the greatest staffs of our time.
>>123380671
I have been very interested in this game for the past year, but somethings about it really put it in a weird spot to me, like being on tablets too.
Is there a reason to not use a shield with staves?
>>123385796
better staffs need 2 hands
>>123384470
Yes I concede to your point. I apologize for disagreeing with you Gevlon. You really are a great strategist. I admire your work in EVE. Hope to see you on the battlefiend in Albion!
Cheers.

I PAID 30 DOLLARS FOR THIS GAME, I BETTER GET WHAT I PAID FOR.
I made a thread on reddit about this too, and on the Albion forums, but the team wont respond to me.
WHAT DO THEY WANT TO READ MY PORN COLLECTION, AND LISTEN TO ME TALK TO MY GF.
>>123388786
Kek. Honestly I don't mind losing the ox, I was retarded for taking it with me to the dungeon.
I learned a valuable lessons though, you die and lose your shit in dungeons. It should warn you. I knew about the PvP, which is why I avoided it.
Tbh I don't care about scammers, it's part of the game and people who cry about it are bitter losers.
I don't plan on scamming anyone, but I won't complain about it when I do get shit on.
>>123388835
Are you blind? The launcher has big bold red text warning about it. You're an idiot.
Plus you don't get an ox/horse for the $30 pack. So troll harder.

Yah, no thanks Kiddos. I'll be joining Narwals instead. At least they have a shot in hell of being relevant and not playing in some backwater yellow zone with veteran pack founders who play inbetween changing their kids diapers.
I'll pass on your shit guild lol
>>123380671
D E A D G E N E R A L
playing now. issues with lag and desync. overall the game lacks polish but i like the sandbox aspect. hopefully i can get some bros together and go rampage
>>123401669
Yeah I was getting crazy lag earlier.
i want to play this game but i dont want to buy it. do they send out beta codes or do you have to buy it?
>>123404772
You have to buy it, devs dont know if theres going to be an open beta either.
>>123405017
is it p2w? i'm not into that shit
>>123405559
I don't own the game but from what I've seen it doesnt look p2w, its just pay to get in at the moment.
Fuck paying $30 for a slightly updated runescape though.
is there pretty good pve content or is just tank & spank with focus on PvP?
>>123389638
Now that you have light, medium and heavy variations I still don't quite get what this changes. Light armor gets the +50% damage/healing bonuses but what's the difference between light plate, light leather and light cloth?
>>123405559
>>123405726
>is it p2w?
Right now Premium looks very concerning. The good part is that you can buy it with silver but premium is something you're def going to want to have if you're going to be at all serious about playing the game.
>>123409047
I really don't understand your viewpoint.
Its like saying that a subscription is "pay2win"
If you're serious about playing the game you should support it. The fee for premium isn't insane, it's less than even most modern MMO's with subscription models.
>>123406560
well there are dungeons/raids where it's likely that another group will come in behind you and fight, so it can be pretty intense in that aspect. As far as challenging pve fights....there was a new demon boss/hell rifts or w/e they're called added this build that looks pretty good so we'll see
>>123409435
I never said that it's p2w. It's concerning what you get for it. You get 50% more fame so you level up faster. You get 50% more gathering yield so you have to spend less time to gather enough stuff to level up your professions. These bonuses stack up.
Now that doesn't mean that a premium player will win a free player in PvP. But it does mean that premium player is more likely to have better gear because he progresses through the game with way less effort and win because he has better gear.
It's a case of feeling like you have to support the devs and buy premium vs buying premium because you want to support the devs.
You might be able to pay for premium with silver by just playing a lot. Atleast in the long run much like in EVE. In launch though it's going to be very beneficial to have premium.
Also there's still a lot of time before the launch so we never know what's going to happen to the system before that.
Anyone do any PvP yet?
Is this Warcraft 3 custom maps made into a MMO?
If so, my shekels are ready.
>>123380671
Combat really looks like a clusterfuck. I'm also not sure what it is you do in game, is it supposed to only be centred on PvP?
Just sounds like you spawn, die, lose all your shit and spend the rest of the time making new stuff, just to die again. I'm not knocking it entirely, but is that actually the allure?
>>123398924
>manpower
>fights over land are 5 player limit
>>123418914
You are forgeting that if u kill someone, u get all their loot. So, grab good gear to kill others to have more gear.
Will there be a wipe once the closed beta is over?
>>123420081
Yes
>>123418767
Where did you get that idea?
>>123421845
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RdPgZp7eIk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06jsQtjFcrI
etc...
I played the hell out of those maps when the lobby wasn't full of DotA/TDs
>>123422789
Dude. Look up some videos about the game. I think you're expecting something entirely different right now.
Like, jesus christ this shit is fucking slow.
Also: what are the best weapons? I finally got my Pike and can honestly say that this shit is beyond fucking underwhelming. Spears as an archetype are just so fucking boring and deal so little damage its not even funny. Or am I missing something here?
>>123423862
I only poked around just a bit in the beta but they seemed to have nerfed damage all across the board since the summer alpha.
What chest piece are you using? Medium gives +25% damage and Light +50%.
IIRC the Pike tree leads into daggers which should be strong for damage.
Would my disabled ass be able to play this OK with only 1 hand?
>>123424230
If I was going for anything from the Hunter Lodge it would probably be staves or nature staves. But neither seems really interesting. Almost considering to just swap for Arcanist because heavy weapons look dull as fuck as well, especially the Glaive which I would have been interested in.
>>123424329
Do you have a mouse like Razer Naga to give you a bunch of extra buttons? Yes.
No? Yeah you can but clicking skills will be a bit awkward.
There's a lot of crafting stuff to be done that doesn't require any combat though. You might want to watch some videos of the game's different systems.
>>123424435
Well I know for a fact that Fire Staffs are great for damage.
>>123424682
Thanks for letting me know about this little thing, I'm getting one.
>>123380671
>Basically runescape 2
I seriously hate the poorfags who compare this to Runescape instead of Ultima Online.
>>123427196
Well, it is generic as fuck like runescape. Every field and dungeon feels copy pasted after a while. They're all laid out in a similar fashion and once you've seen all the different tilesets you've seen all the game has to offer aside from PVP of course.
Honestly their world builders/level designers need to get fired.
Is this game just resource collecting simulator?
>>123431180
After playing for a day I would say yes. The combat is far from being deep, endgame hardly exists and probably never will. So your goal is to farm to reach the next carrot on a stick. I really didnt expect the combat to be this fucking dull when I purchased the game.
>>123431337
Thats kinda how i feel, I havent gone past t2 gear yet but so far when i duel people i just spam q, basically impossible to kite as an archer because of the clunky clicking
>>123431456
Worst part in my opinion is the ridiculously underwhelming design of basically all non caster weapons. The staves at least look somewhat special. Melee weapons look so fucking boring its unreal.
>>123389638
I LOVE YOU GREYSCALE
>follow game for a year
>stays in early access for the longest time ever.
>never got beta key for a day or anything for staying subscribed to the stupid newsletter.
Shit game will end up like archeage and probably BnS. Devs will abandon in a few months.
>>123432205
Gotta agree, armor and weapon design are horrible. Divine Staff is a good looking weapon e.g. But the maces, axes, spears and bows look completely underwhelming.
>>123425385
Knew an 8/8 Mythic WoW raider with 1 hand and a Naga. I'm not sure if that he was just a badass or WoW ends up just being that easy.
>>123433414
That shit literally doesn't matter right now. You guys are as bad as the retards in general chat complaining about a lack of music rofl
top says free to play, website says $30 for a beta game, why the troll post?
>>123442672
game is in closed beta, will be free when launches.
>>123442672
On release you can play for free
>they actually paid for this shit
lmao
>>123433040
BnS does Arena Queue Simulator better than any other MMO.
>>123448101
Theres actually world pvp though, bns is more than just arenas

Go back to EvE shitlords some one make a real VG guild
>>123453468
we dumpstered kids in pvp today, wiped one group of 5 doing an instance then wiped 6 more than came in behind.
little later ran into a 7man group and wiped them as well, all in full loot pvp got another horse
I'm off somewhere in like 2-3 hours, how's the guild progressing?
I'll join when I get home, I just fucked around a bit yesterday for like an hour or two. I have no idea what I'm doing but I had fun.
>>123454374
dank pvp all day getting oxs for everyone in guild now
need healers lmao
>>123454374
also message prizebot to get into guild
>>123455348
>>123455202
Will do. I can build healer but I have no idea how anything works in this game yet.
I want to play it but I'm broke
Any solution?
>>123463563
Three options, actually.
1. Wait 3-4 months for the game to come out of beta and go f2p
2. Save up money so you can buy it
3. Beg like the beggar you are
>>123463721
30$ is shit only fat arses can spend on a closed beta, sorry but I won't pay that much for a piramidal scheme
>>123463721
>2. Save up money so you can buy it
Blows my mind how people dont have $30
>>123463813
Considering you get like 2000 gold and a month of premium, alongside the fact you get to play like 3 months earlier, I believe the 30 bucks is well spent on my part.
Also, what pyramidal scheme? The referral system?
>>123463814
Guess some people don't have the disposable income.
>>123463814
I don't have 30$ for a closed beta who I might stop playing 1 month after. With 30$ I can buy a lot of shit that could be better.
>>123463935
Thanks anyway for the reply but I think I will just wait or beg because I'm not sure if I should buy it.
>>123464115
Well, do you have problems with grinding? Do you like having a big world but no guidelines? Did you enjoy runescape back in the day?
Then I'd say just go for it. 30 bucks is (in my opinion) not too much to spend on a game you might have a lot of fun with.
The game has a lot of potential, and I personally just wanted in for the ride.
>>123464334
Yeah I mainly wanted for that, I want to become a happy merchant backed by my guild.
Thanks, it's just that our family is passing a very bad moment and I can't spend that money on a "Maybe"
It's hard to explain but the saying on my language "Life is expensive, but being poor is way more" has become now too true.
That gap between tier 3 and 4 armor/weapons Jesus. Gonna have to grind to be even able to wear and craft them.
>>123467339
>mfw grinding wolves/boars to craft t4 leather
>check how how much fame i will need to get to wield t4 stuff
>you can use learning points to unlock
aight
The grind is goddamn fucking retarded. When you add shit like this and unironically ask players to zerg 250k farm this early into the game then you should at least provide a proper quest system or something that speeds up the process OR AT LEAST makes it somewhat interesting.
>>123467865
being this casual
how does a quest system make grinding interesting if not more tedious, you gotta grind then go back to turn the quest, grind more turn the quest and so on. also fuck quests that reward fame (runescape exp rewards).
So it is worth or Im just wasting 30$ for a shitty beta game
>>123468048
Mail me 20 bucks and I give you my account.
>>123468048
ok to answer anyone with this question
>DID YOU LIKE UO?
>DID YOU LIKE RUNESCAPE GRINDING?
>DID YOU LIKE EVE?
If yes to all 3 then yes, you should buy
If no to the second second one, stay away as far as possible.
>>123468102
Then why are you here?
You know, the biggest problem I have with sandbox games is that they never, and I really mean never, have an appealing combat system. Why the hell is Albions combat so goddamn fucking dull and simple? Why hell couldnt they have introduced more proper skill shots, movements skills etc? Wouldnt is contribute heavily to the PVP centered gameplay?
Sandbox PVP is a fucking joke to say the least. The idea of sandbox MMO is great, the execution often lacking, but the combat? Hard to find a genre with worse fucking combat.
>>123433040
There's a fuckload of people in the early access though but I'm a bit worried how the game will turn out.
>>123468460
>Why the hell is Albions combat so goddamn fucking dull and simple?
Because they had to have a tablet client like the retards they are.
where do i get a betakey for this game ?
you can't tell me they only allow access by buying a shitty founder pack
If I buy this shit, will I have fun? and for how long?
Will they jew the game out of it?
>>123467778
How do you use the learning points?
What should I do with the premium shit I get buying the game?
>>123398924
I've seen games where a Reddit Guild never materialized simply because there wasn't publicity (it's easier to get noticed on here because all game threads like this, are here) and on the other, people were lazy, flaky shits. But then I'm not sure I can bring myself to play Classic Ultima Online anymore to begin with, so whatever.
Otherwise I simply can't deal with needy Slavs, Rednecks, and Middle Class slightly intellectual jobbed euro's being super entitled about my time.
>>123471579
There's 2 ways of achieving a mastery
you either get a ton of fame
or you get atleast 25% of the required fame and pay learning points.
>>123472991
>or you get atleast 25% of the required fame and pay learning points.
That's the part i guess, i got decent amount of fame and I'm at that level where things are getting up to 96k and such.
>>123473095
>96k
>a lot
nigga my next upgrade for pike is at 972k
>>123472037
Answer please. Some starting tips to not fail
>>123473847
bank the anchor and the trophy
use the ox and horse for gathering
disregard armor
>>123473987
Thanks, and the premium bonus about lvl points or something?
Is the cheapest Founder's Pack sufficient, or is it worth buying the $50 or $100 ones?
I know this is a dumb question, but is the game actually good? I was kinda interested in this game since around summer, but I have not heard a real honest opinion yet.
>>123475580
I was curious about this too, as well as if I get the cheapest founders pack, can I pay to upgrade it to the other tiers?
>>123477262
Yeah I was wondering the same thing about upgrading. If you can I'll for sure get the cheapest cause IDK if I will even keep playing.
>>123380671
I'm kind of short on money, is the beta worth the 30€?
>>123479734
see >>123468169
Also, do you need the money for rent or food?
if not, then you can buy it.
Alright so I have been growing some baby horses and one became a horse. I'm confused how I pick this guy up because when I try to it says he will lose all progress, but it is most definitely a t2 horse and no longer a Foal.
[spoilers]help please.[/spoilers]
I have read that if I buy this 30$ I wont be able to play the next part of the beta. It is true? What a fucking scam this game is.
>>123488560
itll lose all food progress so it doesnt matter, pick it up
popblues was giving oxs to people in guild shits great
>>123489106
i did pick one up and it reverted back to a foal
>>123489321
then it wasnt done yet
there needs to be no food bar and it should give a pop up and fame when its done
>>123489074
This is the last part of the beta.
Release is after. Go buy it if that's your only problem.
>>123489601
I'm tellin you man it was done, it had the fame and it told me it even spawned a child. but when I picked the horse up it went back to a foal in my inventory.
