Dev Talk: Development Update

      All valid points. My only concern is transports to the mist city. If there is a market there and/or crafting stations there probably should be some semblance of risk in transporting gear/resources there. Otherwise players can easily load up in a Royal City, find a YZ Mists Portal and roam from Mist to Mist until you find the city and unload for massive profits. Then after a week the Mists market will already be flooded with items/mats.

      Up to SBI if they want the Mist city to be an analog of any given Royal City or a place with some level of scarcity, more like a Rest. Benefits to both, of course, but the transport risk will heavily influence the outcome here.
      From my understanding (but @Obelis might be able to correct me) you will only find the city in the Mist by pure luck, since each time you zone into a Mist zone from the YZ, it will be a different one. No way to know if you will spend minutes or hours finding the city. And even when you find it, you can not spam the same road, since it closed after you entered in it. So I am not concerned about that.

      However it rise some questions :
      - When you enter a Mist portal, can you take it back the other way to come back from where you come from ? Or even if it exist it will lead you somewhere else ?
      - How to change from a Mist zone to another Mist zone ? Is that also through a one way portal ? Or inside the Mist there are classic OW gates ?
      - How to go out of the Mist ? Is that also through a one way portal ? Do you know by advance where you will go ?
      - Would someone be able to draw a map of the Mist, or does it make no sense
      (ex: is it like corrupted, where each map is instantiate depending on the players numbers and when you into another Mist map you have chances to "invade" an already existing Mist map) ?

    • This future update looks good ! I'm really excited about this new city, creatures, waiting to see the new equipment as well.

      Also, I know it's probably not a priority and is not exactly a huge gameplay change, but could we have housing customization based on the mists ? I would love to be able to personalize my island or our guild one's.
      You can even make something like a craftable item with mists resources/artifacts like the explorer's anchor, even if the amount of ressources needed was huge I would totally add this as one of my goal in the game.

    • Atualização que falta seria uma arma feita de pedra com as mesmas habilidades que o gigante de pedra tem porque o preço da pedra é muito barato de atualização
      Pode ter também armadura botas capacete de pedra isso não só uma nova arma para os jogadores melhoraria a economia na questão da pedra porque a pedra está muito valorizada

      I think there will be both yellow and black zones which in my opinion will be the right thing to do in order to move some people out of the RC
      If its a yellow zone, big guilds can control who plays in those zones. keeping red guards (or Caerleon guards if they manage to get some faction bois there) and beating the shit out of solos when all they wanna do is content. full loot has the perk that when you die, you go back to town. If it's yz you just keep getting beaten up til your gear is red and all you can do is runaway through a portal that you have no idea where it will lead.

      Not necessarily the case, it depends on how they work it out. Corrupt dungeons, for example, kick you out into the open world when you die in a 'yellow zone' corrupt dungeon. There could be a similar mechanic.

      I don't really care whether there are yellow zone mists of Avalon or not, was just pointing something out.

    • You have idealistic idea of PVP, that has no connection with reality. PVP makes the game nasty place, there is no daring adventure and exploration like you imagine. You neglect PVE players and bring no safe content to play. You add more and more PVP, while PVE players stick to same things that were years back.

      There are many kinds of players that start this game. For each it looks like promising adventure. However you force all of them to pvp at some point, or they have nothing more to do. Not all of them like it.

      I thought there was only toxic pvplayers in here... but it seems there's still some inteligent people around.

      what do you think spawn in the already made Roads of Avalon, mobs. And if you are careful and do things right you can do roads PvE content, and the same will probably go for the Mists’ of Avalon.

      Also to other things I have read here is that, yes there cannot be a single form of teaming, not even if you have a guild mate in the same zone as you, they can still attack you, and same would go with friended people. If there are any forms of teaming then there will more than likely be a guild to exploit it and just turn up in pretty big groups to just ruin the solo.

      Also @PrintsKaspian when console expansion, it’s been around 2 years since someone in the Albion dev team said something about it last I checked, and the response said it probably wouldn’t have within 12 months, 2 years and still no word. Kinda disappointed since I really want to get back to playing Albion Online and I have ZERO intention to get back to playing on my mobile device since almost any MMORPG on a mobile device sucks in the experience department, and I’m sure hundreds or thousands of the mobile players would agree that a console would be better than what they are using now, and I’m sure that those same people would just have a console from PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo.
      I’m also very sure that there will be tons of traction with the game on console, because me with my Nintendo Switch I know there is NO good MMORPG in the Eshop, bc the only 3 on there pretty much suck, or don’t really keep my attention for long, which are Trove, Onigiri, and Warframe, and I’m pretty sure Warframe is the best of the three in terms of movement mechanics and PvE, and you may have noticed that those are probably the worst MMORPG’s out there.

      I just want to simply hop onto my Nintendo Switch and then get straight into some action packed content, so please get something going on with the console expansion, the mobile players that are left have waited long enough, and plenty have probably already left for good because you have made no word of it known.
