Obelis

Hello! I hope everyone is having fun with the new Rise of Avalon update we brought to Albion last week. We wanted to give you an update on changes we’re making to the Corrupted Dungeons based on the first week of data analysis and feedback. Over a million dungeons have been played now, so we’ve got lots to work with!

First of all, we’d like to address the feedback on the 20% Infamy loss on PvP defeat. The intent of this loss is to keep Infamy values in check, but we now feel the 20% loss is too significant. We’re changing the current values of 10% on a win and 20% on a defeat to 8% on a win and 10% on a defeat. This will make defeats much less significant, and require less wins to make up for a single loss.

Also, we’ve heard many of you suggest that you’d like to see escaping disincentivized, and a commonly proposed solution to this is to have escapes penalize the Infam... Read more

Hey everyone,

In response to your feedback about the Faction Standing Upkeep, we’ve reviewed this mechanic and made some of the requested changes.

Firstly, it’s important to communicate what the intention behind this mechanic is: We want high prestige ranks to remain meaningful and prestigious for the long term. If there is no upkeep, eventually everyone will be maximum rank and it will no longer mean anything. It was aggressively tuned to protect the prestige of the higher ranks, as we’d prefer to relax the mechanic over time rather than make it stricter if we end up having too many people at the maximum rank.

However, we’ve reviewed your feedback as well as the data we’ve collected since the Call to Arms release, and have made the following adjustments:

• This no longer affects ranks 13-16. All rewards have already been unlocked by rank 16, so once a reward is unlocked it remains unlocked unless a character changes Fa...

Hello!

As I’m sure some of you are wondering, we do intend on converting Faction Standing from the old Faction Warfare to the new Faction Warfare.

This conversion process is as follows:

• When enlisting with a Faction for the first time, your standing with that Faction will be converted without the normal conversion penalty. This means that there will be absolutely no loss of your old Faction Standing’s contribution to your progress in the new Faction Warfare.
  
  • HOWEVER: This complete conversion can only be used once. When enlisting with a Faction, standing with other Factions will be set to zero. Please be certain when making your choice about which Faction to enlist with as this decision can’t be undone without any loss of Faction Standing.
    
  • As the Caerleon faction is new, players have no Faction Standing with there. If a player joins Caerleon they must start fro...
