New Thread: Journey Back (Town Portal) - Additional Information and Background

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all,

Having the ability to fast travel via teleport, or at least teleport back to a location that you are bound to or have recently visited is commonplace in almost all MMORPGs. It is a great quality of life feature as it gets rid of unnecessary travel times (people sometimes refer to this as a “horse riding” or “walking simulator”.)

Now, as many of you know, the reason why Albion does not have such a feature has to do with it’s risk vs reward design, in particular when it comes to transporta... Read more

Hi all,

Now, as many of you know, the reason why Albion does not have such a feature has to do with it’s risk vs reward design, in particular when it comes to transportation of items and material being a major part of its game economy.

We have thought about this time and time again and believe that we might have found a concept for a new feature we want to present to you here and gain your feedback.

Here is how it would work:
  • When entering a city or hideout, you get the ability to teleport back to the said city or hideout until you enter another. There is no way to manually influence t...

Hello Albion Community,

Many of you probably already know about our NDA playtests, where we test upcoming changes with players of the community before they get deployed to the staging server. These playtests are a valuable source of information and provide a chance for us to get in direct contact with experienced players to get their feedback on planned changes. Check out this thread for more information about these tests:

With the upcoming standalone season, we will introduce Disarray, a Zerg Debuff mechanic. The idea here is to create a trade-off for bringing massive amounts of players. This way we want to encourage players to have more fights with smaller and better organized groups, instead of over-emphasising the sheer amount of players alone.

How this works
  • If 25 players or more of the same alliance are in the same cluster they all get a debuff: Disarray
  • This debuff reduces: Bonus Damage vs Players & Bonus Defense vs Players
  • The more players the alliance has in the cluster the stronger becomes the Disarray debuff
  • This feature will be launched with the upcoming event season
  • The debuff only applies to guilds / alliances. Groups of blue players on Royals or faction flagged players are not affected.

Hi everyone,


Due to necessary maintenance to our web services, today's daily maintenance in the game will be prolonged as well. We expect it to last ca 30 minutes longer (Until 11:30 UTC), but it might potentially take longer than that if we run into issues. I will keep you updated here if that is the case.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Lands Awakened Patch 8

Season Winner Statue

Congrats to IAMNIUBI, winners of Guild Season 14! You can check out their statue in Conquerors' Hall, which also includes the banners of 2nd and 3rd-place winners Elevate and Judicate.

Improved Arena Matchmaking

Various improvements made to the Arena matchmaking process to speed up the forming of teams in queues. This should reduce waiting times for solo queue DPS players. The adjusted system now also distributes pre-made healers (2-3) players more efficiently among solo DPS queue players.

Other Changes
  • When catching rare fish, there is now a chance to obtain seaweed as an additional bonus drop
  • The connection between the dungeon "Cathedral of Light" (in Darkbough Snag) and Sunfang Wasteland was removed as it created a massive shortcut between these two zones. Players within these zones when...
