AC and 42069 are the SA guilds. 42069 and awfu are the overflow guilds for the main AC one. All the other arch guilds are just pubbie guilds in the game that joined the alliance.

Good tip, seems like https://discord.com/invite/rc5VJW7 worked

^ worth updating the op with it.

edit: on a unrelated note, are there any tips about positioning your island? I'm so far in Thetford and I read that moving the island is a bit of a hassle, so don't want to do it wrong, I guess.

Arch is out of martlock so probably there (I've barely used my island though tbh). If you move it you only lose the money you spend upgrading it

Im having a blast playing this game, i get vibes like the first time i played EQ or eve online, dont get that often.

I gasped when i realized this is the map, not the starter continent, which i thought was the whole game https://www.albiononline2d.com/en/map

Question, i see in discord these mandatory zvz roams, i went there for the first time yesterday at the Red Tree hideout. Im still working my way to the zvz templates, am i excluded from that mandatoryness till i can wear the templates and replace them or should i stay in the safe zones till then? Because its faster to xp in the black zones and get coin.

For zvz, if you are under 1100ip in a given set you will want to stick to a support role - check out the healer and zvz locus builds/templates. If people give you poo poo, but you have the correct build, point out the fact that you’re brand new and tell them to eat your rear end. People get weird about this, but it’s well meant due to the way the debuff mechanic works (more allies in a zone gives you a flat decrease to damage/healing), so a brand new dude in low tier gear is a net negative if they are using a pure dps build. Personally I find locus more fun than healing, the utility of your weapon doesn’t really scale with IP, so you get the benefit (huge fuckoff aoe purge) even with very low skills.

For brand new dudes gank roams are definitely the most fun content though, and you can make stupid good money if you manage to loot any kills. These are way less gear intensive, and it’s more important that you have items good for catching and dismounting people (so they can get smashed by your 20+ man party) than it is that that gear is high level/ip

We have a pretty constant homeland defense party going in NA TZ - keep an eye out in alliance for people x’ing up for gank. If you see a bunch of people in the redtree defense channel in discord you can also pop in and ask what’s going on. I think there’s a gank builds channel on discord as well.

I really enjoy playing double bladed staff in gank, which has a ton of stun and mobility. Combine this with guardian armor + fiend cowl (invis reveal and purge, great for nuking enemies boots/defensive skills and loving over demon boot / undead cape fuccbois) and you will be securing kills like a boss in no time

Had a poo poo ton of fun roaming the roads last night with the AC krew. My only complaint is there are so many of the 2 man portals, but there seems to be enough of the 7 man portals that you can reasonably run that group size. Lots of cool small scale PVP engagements, and actually fun gathering content. Can definitely see these continuing to be a fun way to balance out some of the mass zvz and gank content.

While roads are missing some of the key mechanics that made EVE Wormholes what they were, there’s enough there to make them super fun content.

My game just keeps saying “Patched Windows boot loader detected” after trying to initialise the anticheat. It only does it with Albion, and I have a fully legit Windows machine on the latest version. Anyone have any clues? Nothing anywhere else online is helpful.

I also played beta for like 1 hr and quit.

Started again a week ago. I’ve dumped $200 since on in game currency and been playing 2-4 hours a day pvping and pvping with the alliance in the black zones (spooky end game full pvp territory war areas).

It’s pretty fun. It’s like a mishmash of a bunch of different games. League of legendsish combat controls, Diabloesque pve/dungeons, eve online economy and travel (and pvp) vibes, all painted over an ultima online base canvass.

Game is fun as hell. The above description is pretty accurate - it reminds me a lot of a young eve online that’s actually fun to play with regards to actually doing poo poo with your character.

Some of the recent changes to PVE dungeon mechanics make it easier than ever to get started + fast track to having useful skill levels, so anyone on the fence should definitely check it out. The game is currently in between seasons so it’s a nice downtime to pick poo poo up and learn before the next turbo-war inevitably kicks off.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying playing with us -- the game is really fun and drastically different from how it was at launch(where it was not so fun)... hopefully more goons can give it another shot and get out there ganking/ZVZing with us.
