[@SunFoxx_]

It would be a cool solution to help solo players in the Outlands - allow large guilds to create something like a 'squire enrollment' system, where any guildless player can enroll as a guild's squire. This would effectively 'faction flag' them as a guild member in the Outlands without granting them direct access to the guild's features. In return, the squire's actions would generate a 'loyalty' resource for the guild, accumulating similarly to how might does, or perhaps directly contributing one of the season-based resources to the guild. The challenge would be in finding the best way to define the squire's permission levels, but overall that would provide solos with people you can stick around with for safety, accessing hideouts (and making in-hideout markets economy viable!) and participating in ZvZ

[@siakamjefferson1088]

This is not coming from me but from the new players in the game. They need an update, especially regarding finding people to play with. Currently, the party finder is bugged if someone initiates it. It would be helpful to have a visible button outside to attract people easily to it. Another great feature would be the ability to block people in the game. We have the option to mute, but the person can still spam a friend invite, and the notification settings for this don't work. Last but not least, we need the ability to remove the island we don't want to access. In the game, if someone adds you to their island and doesn't remove your name from the access list, you won't be able to remove that island. This can make it challenging to find the island you want to visit.

[@ricflair8907]

You're going about it wrong, NEVER join party finder or group with randoms. Join a guild or you have no reason to complain .

Idk how itll all work in practice and obviously theres always more room for improvement, but hats off for continuing to find creative solutions and listening to your players.

[@yawargremio1221]

Good: - Closing of group dungeons. - More fame when doing group dungeons in party. - Solo player content is fine. - The new crystal mobs. - More fame for collecting resources in the black zone. - The customization of the player's HUD, very good. Bad: - That they only give less fame when doing the group dungeons alone, I think they should not give fame to those players who want to do the group dungeons only and get a message indicating "If you want to get fame, come with your group." - The player counter in the Black Zone, I think this was one of the most important things that differentiated it from the Red Zone, therefore, I think this should not be put. - They do not add the shortcut to see the "Conqueror Points" panel (just as there is a shortcut to see the factions panel Shift+F). If something is not understood, it is Google Translate's fault.

[@DrayxArt]

I think the idea behind the black zone showing the range of player count is helpful for smaller groups rather than solo players, so you can decide if your party wants to pick a fight without risking 10+ people coming into the zone to pile your 5 man party

[@mg8617-t8x]

Please address the market tax structure. It really harms Albion's market. Compared to markets in real life where there is a taker > maker fee structure, Albion's current market tax system PUNISHES you for providing liquidity to the market because there a listing fee (which is equivalent to the maker fee) but NO TAKER FEE. The problem is not because of the existence of the listing fee, but because maker fee is higher than taker fee (which is zero in Albion market). Simple rearrangement can be made so that the 4% seller fee is levied on the liquidity takers instead will significantly improve market's health. Please, if you don't understand what I am saying, then forward it to someone else on the team who does. I've put a more detail version of this comment in the feedback section of Albion forum. I'm looking forward to your response in the usual "Director Respond" video.

Hello SBI team, I have a couple of suggestions that I think could truly enhance the experience for players, especially for gatherers. First off, I’d love to see the addition of a new mount-a species of deer that’s faster than the moose. For inspiration, consider the reindeer (caribou), which in the real world is known for being both agile and swift. Caribou have been traditionally used by Arctic tribes as pack animals. While they may not match the sheer size of a moose, they are incredibly resilient and efficient, making them ideal for transporting goods across difficult terrain. In the game, a mount like this could become a popular choice for gatherers who prioritize speed and versatility, offering them the mobility needed for quick escapes and efficient resource collection. I believe it would add a fresh dynamic for players who want a balance between agility and practicality. Secondly, I’d like to bring up a minor but noticeable inconsistency regarding the color progression of the chests in The Mist. The Common chest should ideally be white or clear, while the Uncommon chest should be green, aligning with the standard color coding used for weapon enchantments. This small change could make chest identification more intuitive, enhancing the overall experience for players navigating these zones. I genuinely believe that these suggestions could help improve the game in ways that both add new strategic elements and polish existing features. Thank you so much for considering these ideas, and I truly appreciate all the hard work that goes into making Albion such a great game. Your ongoing efforts don’t go unnoticed, and I’m excited to see how the world of Albion continues to evolve!

[@bledrestman]

Soloing group dungeons in the YZ and Blue Zone has been way too good for solo players. But hopefully instead of nerfing them so that solo players cant do them anymore they just add a reward bonus to more players doing it. Group dungeons are really only good for solo players just due to the fact that the rewards are crap for people. A solo player in 8.3 8.4 with spec and make anywhere from 300k - 1 mil per group dungeon. while having 5 players you only get like 50k -250k MAX. Even YZ group dungeons need at least T6 gear if your going 5 people. The loot should be better for groups. But if I invested in full 8.4 with spec I should still be able to do that content in the safe zone. I would think average 300 to 600k per dungeon if it takes 20 minutes to clear would be acceptable for solo players still just as long as groups in lower tier gear are getting the same results. Being solo shouldnt be a handicap to an extent but also being in a group should allow you to do content like that without spending so much silver on gear to do it in a group. Good change hopefully. Adding mists camps to the outlands also a good move. Outlands are just too dull since all you do is farm mobs or go into dungeons, pvp, and gather. Tile objectives sound fantastic. SAFE portal for solo players to get into the BZ easier than running through the 4.1 groups of 10 to 20 players in the portal entrance is also going to be a great addition for solo players. Adding T5 and T6 zones are also great. Gets players into a situation of being able to spec up faster in the safe zones and get better gear earlier. Im looking forward to this change. Also good on you for updating the crystal mobs! Just hope that for the shapeshifter crystal weapon we get to be something cool for the type of animal. Maybe a crystal spider staff coming?! One can dream right? LOL great looking update. Cant wait SBI!

In the last video you guys discussed about the problem with dungeon finder, I believe I have found a solution. The system will work like HCE you have to put a map to use it. Then it will teleport you to a random dungeon according the tr and risk the players want to have. For example a group can start channeling from Thetford to a t6 dungeon and they were teleported in a dungeon which is in a t6 lumhurst zone. Inside the dungeon you cannot leave the party and also you cannot see the location of the dungeon on the map. I didn't expect that the dungeons will be closed after sometime I don't agree with this one. Let's return to the topic, and after you leave the dungeon you cannot journey back for 2-3 minutes.

Hey Albion Devs, I'm not sure if you have anyone on the team that checks KZbin comments, but I was a former guild leader of 20+ players and my biggest gripe about the game was its weak PVE. I am so excited to see more PVE elements being added and improved so that the base PVE experience has more excitement and longevity. I strongly encourage you to continue expanding the PVE elements of the game so that new and casual players can experience and participate in the economy without as much risk as in the black zones. I understand this presents an issue because black zones are necessary to keep the economy moving, but I am definitely still craving some challenges of the calibur that you are likely to find on more PVE-focused games like FFXIV. Again I hope this comment reaches you in good spirits, and thank you for reading.

For past like 10 seasons crystals 5v5 got a huge kick into the butt. Honestly this content is not rewarding enough aswell as not competetive bcs of low rewards. Could you pls rework it again to put it back to glorious times? If we did rework 5v5s bcs of RMT, why is that the most RMT players are the guild masters not crystal or hg players? I am talking ofc about 5v5 10v10s are a diffrent topic here. I was and still am, a huge fan of 5v5 content. Every competetive game is usually a 5v5 mode game. I just dont understand why did Albion give up on 5s. We deleted full loot, points to season aswell as battlemouts as a reward for high lvls of crystals (8 and 9 lvl) and gave away lvling terries to zvz (which is fine, but still its a nerf to 5s). Since lvl 8 and 9 are only once or twice in the season, It should feel GREAT to win such a thing. Now its like i could go and gather for 1 hour and make more money then from 5s. Its niche content ofc, its not something everyone can play and do. But Its not an excuse to simply abandon it. Crystal arenas are not the solution, the matchmaking system is trash, players are trash, rewards are decent. Pls consider bringing back crystal 5v5s. Also there used to be 3 timers in a day, now its only one?! Shouldnt it be more rewarding then?

[@ricflair8907]

Because when it was giving season points the same 5-10 people were being paid billions and billions of silver to win guilds seasons. Crystals were extremely powerful to guilds pushing R1 20's are where its at. the pinnacle of instances pvp in albion.

[@HellzzArena]

@@ricflair8907 as opposed to mega alliance squadding for rank 1 5v5/20v20 gives more power to individual players on a smaller scale level, a much better indicator for season ranking than zerging down 1000v100, by no means should it be as powerful as it was before, but allow smaller scale players to be competitive on the ranking

[@matthewmammothswine4395]

Crystals were a lame attempt at Albion as an E sport. There is a ton of 5v5 content in the game. Crystal league was far too niche and out of reach for like 99% of players. Just queue as 5s in Crystal arena or do hellgates. Nothing was lost with the focus off of Crystal league.

I really hope the player count in the black zone is a counter that says the size of the biggest party… In example: 0-6 means the biggest party in this map has 0-6 players…. 15-20 means the biggest party has 15-20 players. A simple player count just like the red zone is EXTREMELY detrimental to the black zone gameplay, it will kill the unknown factor that’s exciting today.

A player indication in black zones as inaccurate it can be is a terrible idea. Black zones are supposed to be wild and dangerous, if you give people any kind of indication to how a zone might be dangerous there will be a lot of people that will take the opportunity to avoid fight further hindering the pvp content in the black zones. This mechanic defeats the whole premise of risk vs reward. I am highly against it.

[@nemo8297]

Thats a really nice update! But could you also implement loot split feature somehow? Sometimes it takes a lot of time to split and take loot after the content. It could probably be a special page in the guild or personal bank that could split all loot in the bank page evenly between party members. By split i mean highlight it in different colors or divide with some UI indicators etc. The algo for split calculations can be really loose because it will be anyway more efficient than party of tired players after 3-4 hours of content )

[@Troubadour04]

Most of this sounds great. Not huge on the BZ having a player count though, I don't think that's going to help people much and it takes away from the uncertainty BZ content offers.

[@EltonClark]

Its only the approximate tho, as its shown 0-6 so it can from from no one in that zone, to 6 solo player or gankers, i think the uncertainty is still there but just additional tool to gauge the risk of the area, as a solo BZ player, i like this

[@steirhero9988]

I think it’s pretty bs, there’s no point in spreading as a guild when entering a zone anymore when even if you don’t blob it’ll just show that a large group enters the zone. It makes defending zones easier and trying to take them over much harder now.

​@@steirhero9988 I'd rather have some info since we can't dscan like Eve who also shows nothing.

[@ProtoGJB]

Im a solo player and I can only speak for myself but I'm a casual player because im a working dad, i dont have 5 to 6 hours every day/ other day to play this game, i get maybe an hour every other night and while im not expecting the game to be catered specifically towards me, I will never be going into a zone where i have to risk the gear im wearing, i will never be interested in doing that when my gear effectively has taken me weeks to get. I would love to go and see what the outlands has to offer but given how the audience for this game makes that a generally miserable experience for solo players, Im not interested. When you guys offer a way for players to choose if they want to risk just their inventory or go full out and you grant rewards accordingly then we can talk, im not opposed to losing everything in my inventory but im not interested in losing weeks of progress to some bitter unemployed sweatlord who has the time to put 20+ hours a week into the game, thats not fun. Make blackzones have the option for players to choose full loot or just inventory drop and perhaps add a currency system so those willing to take more risk still reap the rewards but also so more than half your game isnt locked behind malicious players and ego maniac guild leaders.

Seems fun and counter toxic for outlands because no matter how good the ''Rewards'' were it was just dumb to be able to get ganked by whole guilds and bassicly going in blind all the time. Yes im choosing BZ and im fine by being killed but the mass bullying going on in 85-90% of the BZ is just not fun. This will still make sure guilds can control zones but also help eliviate some of the pointless toxicity from the game design. Kinda dissapointed the mob camps are just copy paste from mist concept. U can do better guys cmon.. Make a small but different mechanic for them like small fetch quests or super simple but mini help the inhabitants/nature of albion in the outlands shouldve been fun. Or make a simple but different boss for each faction (undead/morgana/heretic/keeper) nothing crazy just different. The brain likes a little variation sometimes

How about for a future update, make some areas where mobs of different factions fight against each other? We know from the lore that Morganas, Keepers, and Heretics don't like each other, and I'm sure none of them are fond of the Undead, so have some zones where multiple mob types spawn, and if they spawn too close to each other, they start fighting. A player who happens to be lucky enough to pass by can either watch to see who wins or finish off both sides for some easy fame. It doesn't have to be in every zone, with constant mob on mob battles, but a rare thing that happens once in a while to showcase the mob factions' rivalries with one another.

[@CroMatt]

Seems stakeholders are pushing hard......who in their right mind asked for ANOTHER portal to be added to the game? We now have City BZ Portals, Avalonian Portals, Mists and SAFE portals, I really cant seem to grasp why would you add them.

The BZ player counter is BONKERS, just why?

Well a lot of new players tend to just get 50 man ganked their first time in black zones so having access to a rough estimate is prob a good way to take away the fear. And calling the Camps a "Quest" is literally the biggest L Take ive heard for a while. Its just like a dungeon but in the overworld.
