Transcripts
Welcome to another Albion Online Dev Talk. Today I'm thrilled to introduce our next update,
Paths to Glory, coming in July 2024. The update derives its name from its key feature: the Albion
Journal. The Journal challenges players to take on increasingly difficult tasks in different areas
of Albion gameplay and receive unique rewards to show off their success. There's quite a bit
of content to go through for the Journal, and we have plenty of other topics to talk about today,
so the details will be covered at length in our next Dev Talk. What else do we have in this video
then? Well, with Paths to Glory we tried to focus on including specific community requests you made
in comments to our recent Dev Talks and, while we're still working on many of them,
there's a number of community-inspired features that already made it into this update. First up,
we're allowing guilds to own multiple islands - one per Royal City. We've taken the opportunity
to introduce city-specific looks for each Guild Island, so now you'll have a snowy island for your
guild in Fort Sterling, or lush forest if you're based in Lymhurst. Another frequently-requested
feature included is the ability to overcharge twice in order to prolong the overcharge duration
at a higher risk of breaking the item after the total period. This should help the ZvZ community
in prolonged fights, while leaving the rest of the game mostly unaffected. A nice little
change is the ability to use all spells on Tier 4 weapons, taking an unnecessary complexity out of
the character build system and opening up more gameplay variety with lower-tier weapons. Also
at a community request, we're introducing a Party Ready Check function. This helps party leaders to
see when their group is ready to set out into the world of Albion or tackle the next boss
in the dungeon. Other improvements include the introduction of Corrupted Dungeon maps, three new
activity events for Roads, Mists, and Tracking, and better filtering options in the rankings.
We've also significantly improved the usability of the Destiny Board by rescaling it and allowing you
to further zoom in and out on the desktop version. Our most requested topic, and the one we spent the
most of our thought and energy on, was improving the Roads of Avalon. This posed quite a challenge,
however. We didn't have a whole lot of specific feedback to go on, and what we had was in vastly
different directions. So we took some time to analyze the data and think about the topic. Our
data showed that the activity - both PVE and PVP - in the Roads was higher than it has been for a
very long time, but at the same time many of you complained that you weren't finding the content
you were looking for. This was a challenge for us because it told us many of you are looking for a
completely different experience in the Roads than what they were designed to be: an extension of the
open world creating connections between places and offering opportunities for small groups,
but not as an action-packed instanced content like The Mists. Finally, we came to the conclusion that
we're going to continue to see the Roads of Avalon as what we intended them to be. We still see the
need for an accessible, action-packed, small-group oriented feature, but we don't think the Roads
are the right place to offer it. Therefore we've decided to improve what we have for the players
who are already enjoying it, and here's what we're changing. We're standardizing the tiers
of all mobs in specific Road sections to make it easier to know whether you're in the right place
to find the content you're looking for. Next, we made sure that Tier 4 Roads are primarily found
when entering from the Blue and Yellow Zones, while entering from Red and Black zones typically
gets you into a Tier 6 Road directly. Tier 8 Roads are now exclusive to Deep Roads and Raid Clusters.
Talking about Raid Clusters, we've increased the quantity of these specific clusters to make sure
Hideouts in the Roads connect to these more frequently, but we've also sprinkled in a few
connections to these from non-Hideout clusters to increase competition in them. Next, we took a look
at the reward balancing and content distribution. We've reduced the amount of spots dedicated to
gathering, but we've increased the respawn rate of resources accordingly, so the total output remains
the same. We've used the space gained to add additional PVE spots which we've also rebalanced
slightly, bringing down their Fame rewards but increasing their loot rewards to ensure
the Roads are not quite as powerful for leveling as they were whilst hopefully making them more
competitive with other forms of loot generation. One more piece of feedback we want to react to is
the lack of content in the Roads. To address this, we've brought Tracking into the Roads,
and while we we're at it we also introduced one more rare Tracking mob you can hunt down for
loot. Additionally, we're introducing a key new feature to the world of Albion: activity-based
spawn rates. What this means is that we will make a profile of each server by measuring the activity
at each point in time. We will then adjust spawn rates for resources, mobs, and treasures, as well
as their upgrades based on this activity profile. This means that during the server's Prime Time you
should have an easier time finding content than you had before, whilst players hoping to exploit
the low activity times for massive rewards will find them more scarcely. We're making sure not
to go all-out with this adjustment, so off-times will still see a little more content per player,
but the amount of content will certainly be better-matched to the player activity. All-in-all,
these changes are an iteration on the concept of the Roads, not a revolution.
We'll observe how they affect the way the content is played, and will continue to
think about a new way to offer more reliable small-scale PVP content which we believe
many players were asking for when requesting improvements to the Roads. Finally, of course,
this update also introduces the next batch of Crystal Weapons. The all-new Twin Slayers:
a pair of crystal Daggers which can create a ring of spinning blades that can be recalled back to
the caster, cutting through all enemies in their path. The Dreadstorm Monarch: the new crystal
Mace which can use its Eye of the Storm ability to create a growing storm around you, slowing enemies
and shredding their resistances. And finally, the Exalted Staff: the new crystal Holy Staff.
Its unique ability can remove enemy ground areas like Sacred Ground. These three weapons will be
available in the upcoming season's Conqueror's Chests, and remember, as we're introducing these
weapons over time the total amount of Artifact items dropped in each season's chest goes up,
while each specific Artifact becomes more rare. That means these chests are becoming more valuable
with each season until we're finished with the last set of Crystal Weapons. As you can see,
the update is quite packed with features and adjustments, and we haven't even mentioned
the visual reworks of Scythes and Quarter Staff base animations, and the many balance adjustments
coming with the update. We also haven't gotten to the heart of the update: the Journal and the
unique rewards you can earn by completing it. So don't miss our upcoming Dev Talk where we'll cover
these in depth, and of course we're hoping you'll join us for the release of Paths to Glory in July.
