Actually I have more of an interest, for some reason likely traced back to my dad issues, in crowfall. Tbh I haven't had a guild for a few mmo's now worth a drat. I've heard of this place for a long time and realized I was able to lurk a couple months back. Started lurking, enjoyed some of you guys' humor and stumbled upon Albion. I'd already recognized a handful of you from your cfall shitposting.

Typical Goon Spy Opsec...

I'm sadly always down to throw money at mmo's so I declared gently caress It and subbed to a community for a change. Yes I would like to play Albion and learn of your plans so that I may take part in them directly. I evidently haven't been playing the initiation game well but gently caress it I can always laugh at the cock jokes around here if you dudes aren't feeling it.

Typical Gewn behavior.

Bottom line is a desire to shoot the poo poo and play games with goons.

Lurk more, and survive 3 months... although in order to be a true goon you need to get probated or banned at least once... It's a right-of-passage in SA.

Meh, The Repopulation will get the SWG audience, Shroud and Shards will take the UO audience, guess this has its own niche since it's PVP-centric. but it would still be smart to get this out the door while they can get away with murder due to a lack of really anything remotely similar (without requiring the usage of MS Excel).

I thought Black Desert Online was releasing in the US Q1 2016 as well. Might be wrong about that.

Haven't paid attention to the Repopulation but is it full loot?

Shards never heard of. Seems far away from launch, is it even full loot?

Shroud is still so awful but as an old UO fan, yeah, maybe. Some areas will be full loot so this is a competitor in my eyes.

Black Desert Online looks beautiful and looked promising but they are just ruining the pvp more and more making it just awful if you want to kill people so that's no competition imo.

I think a lot of people are coming into Albion because it has full loot pvp (that's why I'm here) so with that feature I think it can manage among even the much bigger titles.

Repopulation has full loot ruleset. If you've been waiting the last nine years for the SWGEmu to release, Repop is the game for you.
Shards is another isometric sandbox MMO where it's really similar to Albion and UO, but it's also a platform for isometric sandbox MMOs where you can create the ruleset, implement your own gameplay mechanics, create your own terrain/quests.
BDO i've heard is generic but beautiful looking Korean MMO with housing mechanics, it has even less sandbox elements than ArcheAge and the current business model is extremely P2W I've been told.
Shroud is shaping up, played about four hours tonight and with a substantial amount of polish, it'll be great I think. Their deck system is awesome.

Anyways, getting back on topic, what armor tier is reasonably obtainable/replaceable but also decent for full loot PVP area purposes?

Tier 4 is super easy to just hoard imo and tier 5 is a bit more annoying to lose a lot of but if you play a lot you can easily supply yourself with a lot of T5 especially if you're in a guild and can farm with friends and whatever. Last alpha I would go out in T5 for regular pvp and when i wanted to be fancy id use t6 but losing t6 was a bitch.

this alpha, t4 self sufficiency will be fairly easy to accomplish. after release i think t5 will be the standard with tryhards going to t6 self reliance. t7 and t8 will be guild and alliance efforts.

I wish someone would throw up a destiny board so I can nerd out on the unlocks but alas I get to see it live on Tuesdee. Back to tending my Carol Pizzamom inflicted burns. But hey if it leads to learning secrets like trash bears and mystery ghosts then so be it.

Hi I'm an eve nerd and I want to play another game where I can make people's lives miserable. How buggy is this so far? Some of my space violence friends have said that the alpha was fun as gently caress but I've got very little patience for buggy poo poo. If I do decide to be an idiot and piss money away for the right to playtest someones uncompleted game, is there some sort of "go here, do this" type guide for newbees so that I'm not just flailing ineffectively? Also, how long does the alpha last? If its gonna be like a 2 or 3 week thing then loving :laffo: at the idea of spending 50 bux for it, especially if the game is f2p later on. OH, and are there multiple servers, or is everyone on a single shard?

This Alpha test should last 4-6 weeks by most people's reckoning. It begins tomorrow. Everyone says the game is fun, and the community is very sensitive and tear filled which is wonderful. I mean it's an Alpha though so expect weird mechanics, bugs, crashes, etc, just like literally any alpha game. But if you can accept that and have fun with other goons, you should have a good time.

Definitely considering playing this game since I need a good pvp game again, but I have been burned by lovely hardcore pvp games like Darkfall and the like before.

Is pvp quite easy to gear up decently for with minimal effort? The time I can throw into this game will be limited enough.

The last alpha was six weeks of solid fun killing people and taking their loot. If you are on the fence, this game should full release (and be f2p) probably summer 2016? Probably sooner. We started late last alpha and had a ball. This time, we've got a competent plan and are starting at the beginning. :getin: Check the OP and read the offsite forum or be in mumble when the servers are up for our plans.

The only referal link in the OP is the one hotlinked to Forgotten's account. Should probably move the list that was posted afterward into the OP, so we can get more folks with donkeys. Which is kind of useless for us folks with yaks (or whatever those things were).

So yeah, the hotlink points toward that post. :blush:

Pixaal is a person to be trusted just look at how well stronghold kingdoms goons went! I know I sure as hell didn't spend a large quantity of dollars in years past over goons tricking me with promises of foreign language tears!
