Albion Online is open to both casual and seasoned players. After a last beta session last March, Albion Online, a new sandbox-style MMORPG, finally opened its servers to the general public with its launch patch on July 17th.
Improvements
- Implemented new starter packs, and updated founder packs
- Improved Premium store UI
- Added subscription option to Premium store
- Adjusted Premium Time Packages
- Updated the splash screen image
- Added new intro video!
- Updated layouts of home territories:
- Rearranged general layout to make for more of an even fight between attackers and defenders
- Now using three capture points rather than four
- Moved building positions to ensure there is enough space to fight in
- Temporarily increased the maximum defender bonus in GvGs from 20 to 50
- This is just to mitigate against potentially large gear discrepancies in the early game
- Adjusted land auction timers so the first auction happens two weeks after launch; all subsequent auctions will work on a four-week cycle
- Temporarily added carrot drops
- All mobs that drop silver will also have a chance of dropping carrots, at a rate of around 1 carrot per 1000 silver
- This is expected to be removed in the first patch after launch, and is just to prevent nutrition bottlenecks in the first week
Combat balance changes
Holy Staffs – Flash Heal
- Heal value: 47.17 -> 42.45
- Heal bonus per stack: 6% -> 4%
- Energy restoration: 4 -> 2.42
