Reprogram YOUR BRAIN for PvP success | Albion Online 2024 Guide | Mists

[@golfer4039]

Damn this is the most accurate and sophisticated psychological and philosophical summary on Albion PvP there will ever be. Everything is spot on. Should be a mandatory watch for everyone. The fear of dying/losing should never hold us back from enjoying PvP in Albion.

[@VicZaneGaming]

That's very high praise! Thank you! And yeah it's almost like another, much better game on the other side of fear.

[@ahklys1321]

Bro, you're gonna be big i reckon. Immense common-sense explanations - and we love you for it!

[@db112nl]

I've attended these 20k$ corporate trainings for high performance mindset. Like fancy 3 day courses with "top of the world trainers". Then there is this guy, giving a fucking masterclass in 13:37, around albion pvp. Passion > Money always. Thats why i love gaming.

[@VicZaneGaming]

Such a positive thought about gaming! And thank you!!

[@vjxss8648]

Bro you are the goat that you think you are, You described EXACTLY what my thought processes at every stages of my journey, being scared at first then improving, then with experience knowing that everyone is ''bad'' and its just a matter of focus and day by day improvements. BANGER VIDEO

[@VicZaneGaming]

Thank you, man!! Will do!

[@Sein82]

you just described the actual issues with me, I always knew that there is something very wrong with how I mentally play albion as whole and for years it's always holding me back. great guide I definitely make use of it.

[@matheusrulli6545]

your videos are soo fkng insane, you bring content to the table like no one else, you understand it and teach it in a very smart way that nobody from yt has been doing for a long time, and i consume a lot of that content. Thanks my man.

[@VicZaneGaming]

I'm very glad to hear that! Thank you for this high praise!

[@ruin5980]

I stumbled across your channel randomly while on break from albion. I just saw your spear guides and I happen to really love the onehanded spear, but I believed I sucked at it cause I haven't been winning much in mists content. I know I've had a toxic relationship with albion, being egotistic with fights and getting real mad when I lose. Your vids not only made me play albion again, but gave me a positive outlook on how to take the game.

[@VicZaneGaming]

Makes me happy to read your last sentence!

[@EltonClark]

Can also be applied to real life in general no? Really good content❤

This is great i recomended you to my friends and they says you are an awesome teacher of pvp and we prefer your videos to be better and enjoy more this game( we speak spanish and view this videos whit the subtitles of youtube)

[@VicZaneGaming]

This is really awesome to hear! Thank you!

[@sashamakeev7547]

One thing that helped me to win 1v1's is that when i enter the pvp area i decide if i want to pvp or not, then i either go in and fight right away or try to avoid players altogether. Very often i died cause i wasn't sure if i want to fight, or should i try to flee, or maybe fight, or... and im already dead. Be consistent in your decision. And pick gear skills based on that decision, dont do half measures.

[@VicZaneGaming]

Yeah I absolutely agree with you on this! Often times it's better to take a bad fight with confidence than a decent fight while hesitating.

[@Gushick]

[@TheForgottenVoter]

Wow, sir i just saw your video, it's exactly on point.i hope to learn more about albion pvp as most of gathering guys like me I lack skills & failed to outrun red guys.

[@VicZaneGaming]

Glad you enjoyed it!! I hope that you find more and more ways to enjoy PvP as well! Being skilled is not a prerequisite for fun and I think getting better is by far the best feeling :)

[@bettersuppwins]

Having a back up plan always helps, for example on the spec part of the game, if you invest your silver specing your main build at some point even if you die only with 8.2 and 8.3 you'll still be able to farm t8 pve mobs with t5-t6 build, my case in the mists/abbeys I'm still working being mentally fine with using more than 8.1, I played 800h and I haven't have many ocasions playing 8.2 and 8.3.

[@VicZaneGaming]

Very relatable. It's easier to enjoy 8.1 and have fun with it and in my experience most people find it more profitable to run t8 or 8.1 and not higher.

[@bettersuppwins]

@@VicZaneGaming I think it also depends on the weapon, for example the case of the high mobility builds like bloodletters that can choose when and who to fight, they get more from the high spec as oposed to my main weapon low mobility 1h curse where is not worth taking more than 8.1 with oc as you can kill 8.2 and 8.3 easily if they don't know what they are doing, and even if they do they have more to loss so they'll do more mistakes than me.

[@mydreamyao]

great points~ exactly right I've been playing this game casually for over 1yr now, I love corrupted dungeon and 1h spear and still loves to play it although 1h spear is not the top tier build for corrupted. I've made almost 1000 kills so far 99% in corrupted and I am still having the fear going into slayer level and mist (8.0 sets) lol and I'm sure I'm not the only one

[@VicZaneGaming]

You are absolutely not alone. I think gear fear is one of the defining aspects of Albion experience for most players :)

[@Conquest2k]

And it’s all about putting urself to pvp the more u take fight the more to develop I think

[@VicZaneGaming]

Couldn't agree more! Can't really get better without fighting (and dying) a lot..

[@Takomo2000]

Great video! Well structured and super resourceful 🤩

[@tfvgaming1]

You must really enjoy albion, great advice brother

[@VicZaneGaming]

Thanks man! Yeah, I do enjoy Albion, especially PvP!

[@NickTheYits]

From my experience, go play and fight with one specific lower tier load out is a very good step. It unlocks you because you get comfortable with your gear and you start playing with less fear. Although, being ganged by many or really high tier enemies is always frustrating. After a point, not because you lose, but because you can't even learn. They make mistakes - no punishment due to their high def & life and your low dmg. You make the right play - you can't even notice as you are getting demolished regardless. I believe arena or pvp with players of similar tier (maybe hellgates) is the only way to understand the game. But I've seen very few people not trying to fight you without advantages. I was a solo player for years. I never end up being very good and ultimately I stopped playing, even if I still like the game. Maybe I am not the best to leave his opinion here, but hopefully it will be useful to someone.

[@r2020E]

Yeah casual 8.4 beating up on t6 players vibe. Just a casual 700-800 ip advantage no biggie

[@MaxWis]

I did something different in terms of spear build, i have a helion spear with a caitlif shield for extra cc, a royal helmet for another stun, soldier armor, and any plate boots. picking the reflext ability on the w. countering eny hard engages the enemy wants to do and if they keep committing activating soldier armor for a damage boost and increased cc duration. can counter almost any build even up to 100-200 ip higher

[@VicZaneGaming]

I love these sorts of out-of-the-box innovative ideas like what you described. It kind of feels like a sort of CC/melee dps build for group content and interesting for corrupteds. Unfortunately, as you probably have experienced, the lack of mobility of Heron Spear (especially with deflecting spin W) is very evident in the Mists. Still fun>>>efficiency so it's awesome you're playing it!

[@ogrekeeper465]

Great video as usual. Keep up the good work!

[@VicZaneGaming]

Thanks!! Absolutely will keep it up!

[@justinsearles8471]

Best videos for pvp

[@Schengo]

Yea dude i always compare albion to poker like u did in the video. Stay in your bankroll and u can play comfortable ❤

[@VicZaneGaming]

Absolutely! And so many other concepts also apply directly like variance and not being results-oriented!

[@jamesc8722]

Yellow zone corrupted dungeons are zero risk pvp. I used that to learn early. Once I had an understanding, it was a smooth transition to any full loot pvp.

[@VicZaneGaming]

I'm glad you found that smooth!! I know players for whom this transition from yellow to full loot is a bit of a shock!

[@jamesc8722]

@ I waited till I was winning around 50% of my fights to go stalker. I bought 5 sets at a time of 4.1. At the very least I broke even + all the fame and bonuses. If you look at it from the lens of “I’m gambling and these are bets” it takes away any attachment to your gear, and completely eliminates gear fear. Ofc it is addicting ;)

[@distel7561]

you should go into company coaching or player coaching in games where you can earn money :) High value content! All of your videos!

[@VicZaneGaming]

Thank you! And you're absolutely right, I am also a coach in my offline life :)

[@maiconmachado1155]

Great video bro!

[@Atthetta]

My end goal is to 100/100 the bow tree, but I keep getting frustrated with war bow, normal bow, and longbow in corrupted dungeons, they seem to get hard-countered too easily by fire, very frustrating but gotta keep in mind the End Goal and go on to more Exposure

[@VicZaneGaming]

Good attitude! And I'm quite curious to see what will happen to corrupteds after the next update. I'm guessing there will much more variety since many people will play them, at least for a while.

[@Atthetta]

Great video

[@Markus24652]

I love your videos, as a spear main myself. Question, is spear usable at ava roads? 4 man below?

[@VicZaneGaming]

Thanks, man! If you solo roads, 1h spear is decent but for small scale group fights, unfortunately it's not really viable because your E doesn't offer anything for your team. Spirithunter, for example, is so so much stronger.

[@vivi62]

Hey Vic! I saw on your other video about hiding the UI but you're still able to see the nametags for any incoming enemies, when I disable the UI, it doesn't show the nameplates of nearby players, is there an option I missed on this?

[@VicZaneGaming]

I haven't come across this issue. There is a separate setting for enabling offscreen nametags (which should obviously always be on) but it should not be connected to recording mode in any way. Are you sure you are using recording mode specifically and not somehow disabling UI altogether?

[@SirRav73]

[@bledrestman]

my problem is I panic when someone engages off the screen... I could have a killed this DB staff 1400 IP player but I panicked and starting trying to fight forgetting to throw my poison potion until halfway in the fight and also forgetting to eat my food. Combat wise I did very good with 1 missed battleaxe throw which could have one so "skill Issue" but if I could have calmed down I would have been able to land it and remember I have food and potions that need to be used.

[@VicZaneGaming]

Incredibly relatable experience. If you are able to analyse your mistakes like this, you are on your way to great progress already!

[@Joger1337]

I find it very hard to succed on the europe server with Spear. Many dual swords players, even switched from mercenary to hunter's hood for that reason. Do you have any recommendations agains melee players that are just rushing in your face?

[@VicZaneGaming]

In general against in-your-face-brawler builds you want to try to space them just enough to be able to hit Qs. Duals are kind of difficult though, I agree. Usually you need to get a decent HP advantage on them before you commit to a brawl. However, if you run cripple, they can't really match your mobility and catch you. Another option that has worked for me sometimes is to deflecting spin against their E since it's easy to react to and does decent damage. If haven't checked out my spear guide yet, there might be something there to help with your question as well - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIi8Y4yXpaZ0mtUsi=MtJbmSqZJnv_nsSH .

[@yrl9389]

You my friend have a winner’s mentality. Are you on NA or EU server?

[@VicZaneGaming]

Thanks! I like to think that it's a 'learner's mentality'! I play on EU now because I have 60 ping here!

[@TheAsvarduilProject]

This should be required watching. Economy - an idea I've stolen from HEMA is a system I call the 'waster' system, named after cheap practice arms that, when they break, you get a new one. The idea is you have waster sets that are super cheap that you use to farm. If I make more than the waster set costs, I win. Next up is raider gear. This is still cheap, but strong enough for me to stand a chance of winning. Raider sets I take with the intent of seeking conflict, and knowing my odds are at best 50/50. Lastly there's Juggernaut sets. These are sets I use either A) in safe zones like yellow mists or B) If I'm rolling with a group who is going to support me. Ego - Trash talkers are interesting. Their ego comes from tearing you down. These players, should you succeed in killing them or just not playing by their rules, are most likely to ragequit or do something stupid. Ego isn't fully predictive of performance, but it's worth realizing top players will just kill you, because they're good at the game. End goal - PvP in Albion is a way to get something. Either you want someone's stuff or you want to stop someone from doing something. Rat-style PvP exploits this as a matter of course. This should inform our PvP combat builds, as we want certain situations to achieve our win conditions. Exposure - This is why I think new players should rush Mists. Rewards are good, and even yellow mists give helpful PvP experience. Rushing camps will teach you good mount technique and the lack of item loss lets you experiment before chancing black mists or the Outlands or Roads.

No not a mental game it's mobility game you only need is to get three dash and you can win or you can escape in 1 v1 situation

[@VicZaneGaming]

I feel your frustration for sure. But I think there is a secret weapon that sometimes works against mobility builds - baiting them in.

[@macgera]

I watch your videos, and this shocked me. So I pay money for a game to escape reality (from some point of view) and I should be mentaly perpared.... ))) maybe I need hire a coach and psychologist then... for a video game? In fact I try Albion right now and thank you for your vids. But I think this is to way grind game. The gap between new players and old to high, I can wear some builds around 100k but this is not for PvP. I think I need spend around 1 year to lvling specs and gather silver. Or simply buy it. Which makes this game pay to win, the same as EvE online which I've dropped because of it. :( huh... Sad. Really sad.

[@macgera]

BTW ego it's problem for many games) But if you ever play EvE online ego, and economy it's not an issue. Issue is the gap. I wanna PvP already, I can afford 900-1000 IP. But Winning PvP... I guess I am unlucky and only meta builds (I so fkin tired in games that stupid devs create meta's, because can;t in math and balance), only meta, only 7-8 tier. I can find ok PvP only in yellow zones mists and even kill someone But this is don't give me kill in the book.

[@VicZaneGaming]

I'm glad you like the videos! Didn't mean to shock you :) But Albion can certainly be competitive and has very strong mental components! You don't need a coach or psychologist just for this but it's true that the solo PvP side of the game is not very casual-friendly. Getting enough specs and silver to meaningfully compete is not difficult and will not take that long but fact remains that there is no matchmaking system in Albion which means that you will repeatedly end up fighting against players with thousands of hours more of experience so it's a difficult learning curve. Hope you find ways to enjoy it without sadness :)))
