I saw it when it was first announced, glad to see they have made some progress. Any game where I can drown in pubbie tears is a good game to me.

Gauntlet...


Can anyone speak to how the grind is in this game? It appears you can max out every skill? Thats giving me nightmares of Darkfall all over again.

If you want to be combat effective, the combat is not bad, and you can't exactly 'grind' currently. From what I understand in the current implementation of the game you are capped so you can't have a guild funnel one dude all the mats and have him do tier 8 by the end of the first day. I don't think most people are expected to be great at everything, because there is a lot of depth in the tree.

You can be really good at crafting tier 2 leather armor and make the effectiveness of it better than a higher tier set of armor.

I played Darkfall too, and the grind compared to that is basically nothing.This is more "pick what you want and get good at it and have fun," Darkfall was just "you literally can't have fun until you've macroed forever"

so das gray how did you find out about SA, it seems as if you just really mostly joined to play albion goons with goons

if you admit to wanting t o really just find out our plans I can probably arrange yfor you to join our forums since we dont have a lot to hide

so whats the gameplan, did you like SA and want to join, did yo uwant to play games with goons, or did you mostly want to find out what we are doing in Albion

Just FYI: The lags have nothing to do with the huge amount of players. It is a simple memory leak thing which sometimes just takes time to be taken care of. I am pretty confident we have sorted them out by Friday.
And yes its more grindy then your other games, but more content coming with each major phase!

I think towns would be really useful if everyone wasn't so starved for silver constantly. I just can't see myself buying a town plot because repairing a single piece of t3 armor is around 250 silver, and a regular NPC kill is like 30-40 silver because the silver return time is so low. I would like low tier weapons and armor to have essentially negligible repair costs and then have Tier 5 and up can have whatever. Considering carrots cost 2000 silver to plant not even a full farm (you get 8 seeds and farms have 9 slots), and carrots are basically constantly needed to maintain a territory at the start, its pretty pricey and makes territory upkeep kinda grindy. I get that higher tier food supposedly makes territory upkeep a lot better, but I think it pretty much drives off anyone who isn't being bankrolled by a guild to farm food.

I guess I wish that farming was a lot cheaper, food was decoupled from territories and made purely silver upkeep, and finally repair costs were cheaper for lower tiers. This would make it so newbie people weren't completely silver starved early on, and provide actual sinks for the silver to go into. Making farming that expensive for such little gain is probably my biggest gripe.

We're on everyone. Get your gathering skills up again because I think silver is going to stop bottlenecking.
