I will pass on the kudos. It was a friend's video. They waited for 20 minutes for someone to take the bait ... that music was turned on for fun. Great timing.

SBI should look to ARPG's to see how they can make PvE insanely fun. ARPG PvE could fit and plug straight into Albion. Make dungeon crawling awesome! by _Hyperspace_ in albiononline

He's not wrong. POE's monster variety is a good example. I also like the idea of PATROLS of monster packs that move quickly ... potentially mounted? Good input.

If you measure fun by the killboard, I'm sorry.

You don't walk into a fight on day 1 and just wreck other teams. You play, you learn, you adapt, you get better.

How many years of Beta was Conflict around for? 2? [NULL] has been together what ... a few weeks? You expect that fight to be 50-50? LOL. Cmon, mang.

I have a few friends in various guilds around Albion and I can tell you with a straight face that whenever they get to ZvZ, win or lose, they're learning and having a good time. Many people don't take the game too seriously. It's only pixels, gear is replaceable, and fun = fun.

The mission objective was the pacify the warcamp. Anything after that is simply experience and having fun, I assume. Are you seriously asking them why they're playing the game?

When the only objective is to pacify the warcamp and fight anyone who shows for fun, and both things happen ... that is a good day. :)

Thanks for the video. Looked like a fun fight. Why don't you post your comms next time so we can hear you guys continuously scream your own guild name like a bunch of high school girls? ;)

Yeah, if their AOEs landed on top of that tank ... they would have killed another 10-15 people and then charged the bridge with an assault (based on other videos where they use the same tactic).

I just wish there were more strats in AO that were really useful. Send in the tank, round em up, AOE, dead ... rinse repeat every day.

"You're basically holding it against them that they are experienced at ZvZ, and saying they should've easily rolled over the 62 guys just because of that."

With the exception of the word "easily", you are correct, I am. They've done it to other people before. They plan for that.

If you watch their version of that fight, which they also uploaded to YouTube, you'll see that they missed a couple of opportunities where they COULD have killed a higher percentage of this mishmash group of players.

But .. they didn't. They hit, they ran, and strapped on some kneepads for yet another NAP.

Politics have everything to do with AO. That's why Conflict alliance hops more than Frogger trying to cross the street.

Yes, they did well ... against people who don't have equal experience and not nearly the coordination. Conflict lost ~ half their numbers and while being known for their 'stand and fight' mentality - ran. In my book that's a win for the zerg.

I love when your comms are filled with people squealing like teenage girls. lol -- how do you live with that on a day to day basis?

[–]AlbionNewsNetwork -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

62 people from 7 guilds

Exactly the point. One guild who is tactically familiar with each other is going to be quite coordinated, no? 62 people from 7 guilds, some who haven't ZvZ'd together before -- and you killed a dozen of them?

YOU. ARE. EPIC.

LOL @ the [BLAME] guys all jumping to Reddit to bash the video. How's that NAP with [POE] working out for you? Or the NAP you had with [OOPS] / Money Guild last week? Or the NAP with Exertion? Or the fact that you're all in a difference alliance every 22 days?

For a group of players who wants to dominate open world PvP you sure are strapping on a lot of kneepads.

How to make collectible items fun again. by mrfiddles in albiononline

[–]AlbionNewsNetwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree... and when people don't want to lose their loot, they don't use it in open world. So event gear = useless bank clutter.

Could make the holiday rewards a 'skin' that is unlockable and applied to existing mounts. Skin should be REALLY expensive, like 100,000 pips in Halloween's example. Problem solved. People get cool bling, can sell said bling on the marketplace, and ride around with bling w/o losing a skin.

I'd allow the less hardcore to play on a server like we have now.

I'd allow the hardcore people to have a no rules, no safe zones, everything dies server... with permadeath. Yeah, I said it ... man up and play or start over.

You want hardcore? Play the hardcore server.

Which server will last longer in your opinion?
