Beyond the Veil Patch 2 - Ver. 21.020.1 - December 14, 2022

Mists Changes

Player anonymity

• Players within the Mists are now anonymous
  
  • Characters in the Mists and the Greater Mists will show as "Mysterious Stranger" to other players that are not in their party
    
  • This conceals their identity to any players that encounter them in the game world
    
  • Local chat channels (Say, Emote) also conceal player identities
    
  • Global chat channels will not conceal player identities as they are relevant to the player's current location
    
  • Certain UI options are disabled in anonymous areas (Stats, Trade, Duel, Whisper, Add Friend, Guild Invite)
    
    • "Report" still functions, and though the player's identity is not disclosed, the c...

Beyond the Veil Patch 2 Hotfix 1

Fixes

• Resolved an issue that prevented Group Random Dungeon Maps from being used in the Outlands or on the Royal Continent
  
• Resolved an issue with home binding removal that would improperly remove the home binding after entering a Hellgate, Corrupted Dungeon, Lethal Mists, or the Roads of Avalon rather than just the Outlands
  
  • The home binding is still removed when traveling to the Outlands from the Mists or the Roads
    
  • There is a known issue that causes the home binding removal warning message to display when entering the Roads of Avalon; this is a display issue only and the home binding will not be removed until using a Roads portal that leads to the Outlands
    

Hey everyone,


With the release of Patch 2 today and the holidays on the horizon, we wanted to give you an update on what’s been done so far and where we’re going in the new year.


Over the past few weeks and continuing on into Patch 2, we’ve been steadily increasing the rewards and tuning the content included in 'Beyond the Veil'.
Today we’ve added Player Anonymity to conceal the identity of players you encounter in the Mists, we’ve changed the relationship of Mists Rarity and Tier to guarantee that enchanted Mists have an increasingly higher chance to lead to higher Tier zones, and further increased the silver and loot bonuses of the Mists to match that of the Open World.


We’ve also reworked travel to and from Brecilien so that players no longer feel trapped after traveling to the city.
Unstable Roads are now easier to find in The Mists, and wh... Read more

Hello everyone!


We’ve all been hard at work going through all of your feedback and have another round of changes for today. These were not ready in time for maintenance but will be deployed later today once testing has finished.

As there are a lot of changes to go through, here’s a short list:

• The respawn speed of enemies within the Mists has been doubled to make sure Mists don’t clear out quite as fast
  
• Fame received from freeing Caged Wisps, escorting Weakened Wisps, and clearing mob camps now properly applies to current equipment
  
• The treasure chest value in the Mists has been roughly tripled to be approximately equivalent to treasure chests found in the open world
  
• Weakened Wisps have had their Might and Favor value increased significantly to better reward players who help them
  
• Resources now spawn mor...

As Albion’s adventurers delve into the Mists, fighting fearsome creatures and searching for Brecilien, some have immersed themselves in these strange surroundings. Showing the skill, cunning, and bravery to survive here, they dart through the fog with an understanding of this environment far beyond most.

A new vanity set launches next week, and you can be one of these mysterious, masterly figures. Stay tuned…

The Season 17 Crystal League Championship takes place December 10-11, with Albion's top Crystal League players facing off for tremendous prizes. And this time around, we'll have a special Twitch Drop campaign running on each of the two days which will be exclusive to the official AlbionTV Twitch Channel!

Along with new creatures to face off against and unexplored corners to discover, each of these new areas also has its own musical theme composed by Marie Havemann, one of Albion's longtime composers.

And starting today, you can listen to these beautiful new songs on all major streaming platforms. Click ... Read more

Hello everyone!


As it’s now been a couple of days since our last post, we wanted to give you an update on what we’re currently working on. As you’re aware, we’ve already been rolling out improvements for the Mists throughout the week to improve rewards and allow players to leave the Mists more quickly, and to improve some basic mechanics such as removing zerg bubbles and protecting PvP loot for the killer.

We really appreciate the feedback we’ve received from you so far. We’re now approaching the limit of what we can do with quick server-side updates, so our next update will be coming tomorrow (November 25th) in the form of a client-side patch. Here’s an overview of what you can expect:


Further Reward Increases

Wisp Enchantment Rates

The enchantment rates of Wisps in the Mists aren’t meeting our projected goals, so we’ll be roughly doubling the enchantment rates of Wisps found within the Mists.

Beyond the Veil Hotfix 3

Mists Reward Increases

• Increased the number of enchanted Wisps in the Mists by ~100%
  
• Mythical creatures now spawn in all enchanted Mists regions instead of only higher-tier enchanted Mists regions, increasing their availability by +440% overall
  
• Mists Mob Camps:
  
  • Doubled requirements and rewards of mob camp objectives in the Mists
    
  • Doubled the spawn rate of mobs in mob camps (average of 180s → 90s)
    
  • Mob camps in Lethal Mists now award Might and Favor
    
• Smaller versions of Crystal Spiders, “Arcane Spiderlings,” will now spawn within the Mists
  
  • These mobs are marked on the map and award Might, Favor, and loot like the larger versions
    
  • These mobs do not award credit toward Guild Might Levels for “Crystal Spiders”

Hey everyone!


During today’s maintenance, we’ve addressed some of the initial feedback for the Beyond the Veil update.

To begin, we’ve made some initial adjustments to respond to feedback about the rewards. The Mists should never outcompete the open world in terms of value, as this would drain players from the open world which is not healthy for the game in the long term. Despite this stance, we do feel there are opportunities to increase the rewards in the Mists.


Artifact Enemies / Mythical Mobs

Due to artifacts having a tendency to plummet in value if too many are given out, we have to show some restraint with how many of the Mythical creatures spawn, or else they will be easily found but not rewarding at all. To help them retain their value we wanted to collect some initial data to see how many of the enemies we spawn are actually killed.

They appear to be more elusive than we previously though... Read more
