Hello everyone,

With the upcoming Energy Surge season beginning September 25, guilds will have the opportunity to earn HQ Hideout status for one of their Hideouts beginning with Season 14. Based on community feedback on this feature, we have updated the requirements for earning an HQ Hideout during the Energy Surge season. Please note that these numbers are balanced for the Energy Surge season, and the various Season Point and zone type requirements will likely change in future seasons.


...

Season Point Threshold	Max Zone Quality Level	Max Zone Tier
200,000	6

Hello everyone,


We have been made aware that there is currently an issue with how fast Guild Might levels are being earned at the moment.

We will apply a change on Monday Nov 29 to address this issue and balance the speed at which you can earn these levels.

On Tuesday Nov 30 we will modify the Season Points that have already been earned to synchronize them with the new balancing.

Please note that as the current season’s HQ qualifications don’t begin until Patch 1, excess Season Points acquired before this change will not affect HQs in any way.

You can find out more about the changes to HQ qualification with Patch 1 ... Read more

---------------UPDATE: this issue has been fixed with Hotfix #5, footage can still be submitted to support----------------------

Hi everyone,


It has come to our attention that there is currently an issue with the Energy Manipulator Battlevault in Hideouts.

Level 2 Hideouts do now have an Energy Manipulator as well, however,

When upgrading the HO to level 3, the Battlevault at the Energy Manipulator currently loses all it’s content. Meaning that anyone who has gear in that chest during a Hideout upgrade will lose it once the upgrade is finished.

We are currently working on a solution for this bug and will keep you updated on the progress.

Rest assured: everyone who lost their Items will be able to retrieve these Items in the Hideout Bank after the fix goes live. Additionally, the chest will not lose its content anymore so you are safe to store your items there once again.

Until then please be aware of this issue and take your Items out of the Battlevault while the HO is under construction.

We are sorry for the inconve... Read more

Dear fellow Adventurers!

I'm very happy to announce that you will have a new Community Manager from today onward!

A little bit about my person: I'm a passionate Albion Online player and have been exactly that since free-to-play launch. That led to joining the moderation team and eventually applying for a position at Sandbox Interactive. I've been playing online games for a long time now, ranging from single-player adventure games over co-op first-person shooters up to medieval MMORPGs like Albion Online.

My plans for the future:

At the moment, we have a gap in communication between you (the community) and SBI. This has become abundantly clear over the last couple of months with many players being unhappy about that.

I hope to change that moving forward, additionally to other plans and ideas that I will be working on which I cannot ... Read more
