I started playing in 2020. I remember that the premium gave me more premiums

[@valvet7906]

It's literally what happened to almost every "MMORPG OR SANDBOX MMO" There's nothing we can do besides finding a new game It's completely normal on this type of genre, " people just starting to get got a the game they know some stuff, they abused it and some random dude just posted it on KZbin, it get popular and allot of people start doing it and the dev nerf it " classic. That's what happen to me on my early day of Eve Echos you know i was a mining⛏️ guy at first spend a few dollars into the game, buy mining ship and put masive bosster on the rig and mining on the null sec. That time no one can kill me because not everyone discover "Warp Disruptors" not everyone knows "Stealth bomber shit or snipper Torpedo". But time goes away some youtubers uploaded i rember it's "Captain benzie and JCf" uploaded about mining and everyone just become a miner at that point but it's okay i got another job that needs very little effort to do it was Cargo shipping,, it's make a alot of money because new players don't know that they can go afk while auto pilot, they don't know about it they think that if they logout when they're Auto pilot it will disable it in fact it doesn't,, the ship will continue to fly to it's destination instead so there's always like 20 or more shipping contract on the list and i can make a good money of by just clicking a few buttons and go afk watching KZbin or playing a better game. And again people just get good at the game they discover the afk thing and never use shipping anymore. But who cares i was already rich i can buy tier caracal navy issue put insane fitting rig on it, do some pve stuff and eventually take a really long break because its boring and no one play it at my schoo. Comback one year later "late 2021? i don't remember" everything changed the null sec where you cloud make decent amount of ISK is no longer save even in low sec like,, you just arrived at the get there's to different way you could die First : you will die because some stealth bomber swarming your ship with 20 missile per sycle at you Second : your ship will explode imidietly beacuse of Torpedo snipping you 20 light years away It's just crazy the game is not fun anymore, the guild are taking over the null sec leaving the solo player stranded on low tier zone with worthless material, i mean of course there's get away from this situation just join a guild/corporation and become a good member but again,,, not everyone want to join a guild, not everyone wanted to be a slave. That all for now i will continue it next on your next video if i remember, there's alot pain in the ass story that i can tell you later Love you swole i really like your videos,, Sorry for my bad grammar im still learning, i really hope you read it.

Cool history lesson about real lif..........wait

[@SerangelROM]

I was watching a youtuber the other day that had 1.2 million gold, yes gold. I imagine a lot of wealthy players do this as well. All they are doing is creating false scarcity to keep the gold price high. Its not that new players arent making good silver. It's that the games value is based on being able to pay for premium with silver instead of real money. New players chase this and end up burning themselves out long before they are able to make enough silver to comfortably by premium each month. There are many reasons for that. A lot of players simply dont want to pvp and pve content basically ends at 4.3 gear which is reached within a few hours of game play. Refining and crafting is nothing more than a silver sink for new and premiumless players. You simply dont make money without premium and focus. Islands can make a little money with farms and animals but thats also pay walled behind premium. SBI has just done a shit job at developing their game over the past few years.

[@tr1x553]

pve content does not end at 4.3? Avalonian dungeons??

[@tr1x553]

@@SerangelROM I can’t seem to reply but I’ll try one last time. In a nutshell there exist a server (you can only get in by being invited by someone in the discord) where they do organised raids. Ava dungeons are like solo dungeons but you need 20 people and much higher tier gear (1400 average item power minimum) the raid leader (the tank) will pop the map then you ride out and do it. If you want me to go more in depth just ask but hope this helps.

[@adityakumar-qq7si]

Albion is the only game where i got banned for reporting a scammer guild that was inviting new players who had no idea of the tax, this was few years ago i think, and i was so mad, when i finally got unbanned , 2 days in i stumbled on that same player, doing the same thing, and he was openly threating me in the chat with, "stay away or i get u banned", i reported him, and got banned, again. That the last time i spoke about Albion positevly ever, and it was such and epic hyped game, it was my first internet burn from a game that i was never comming back to ever, and to this day i have prevented so many people from playing i hope, i do not stop them, since they can end up enjoying it, i simply tell em what happened, and they do not believe at first, then i show them the albion redit, and the negativity just repels them automatically. Best part, got me back to rs3, and for that i will always be gratefull to Albion.

[@Wenedi]

sounds legit

[@bazjones2631]

i will admit ive been watching your content consistently since i started albion almost a month ago, best real content, im solo also, alot of the old ways are not viable, keep up the good work! ive spent my days grinding mobs with the aim to learn and max all magic trees and im finally at T7 for fiber gathering and leather gathering, its a hard path out there i did hyper focus on that 1 mil an hour mark then realised it was killing my desire to play when i was not reaching anywhere near it, now i just chill and play, starting to look for like minded chill players but few and far between.

[@RoyalCrown003]

they should lower the price of premium in real life. its absurdly ridiculous. in the philippines its a 1000 pesos jeez. i can buy 2 games in steam at that price when sale comes.

[@porcus123]

The problem with islands is that they are literally free real estate, it deflates the economy. Crafting is still profitable with focus but if you get low quality itens, you are gonna sell them at a loss. If I were sbi probably either cutting on the amount of islands per account or make focus something you gain while online in a character, fuck it make it at a lower rater for non premium players. They also need an EU server, playing full loot with 100 ms minimum is demoralizing, and they certainly have the player base

Is this mean that i should delete the game ? Since you said this game is not friendly to newbies no more , ..... you will have to pay large amounts of time or money to get premium

Yeah kinda hard to gain silver if you have 8.4 running everywhere on Blue/Yellow/Red/Black zones even on damn yellow zone mists are ppl in 8.4 taking 50k silver worth chests and all you have is 500k silver and 200k build which you lose bc of Bag of Insight "Bonus" fame

Hey i just wanted to ask for what is the best method to skin farm.I am tier 6 on skinning but its hard to level it up to tier 7 on safe zones.Should i go to black zones?

[@SwoleBenji]

Nah just grind it out in blue zones due to the respawn rate, full stacks, and speed of skinning it's actually faster. If you're in a guild try to skin the aspects they hunt but other than that for solos tier 4 is the best.

[@harmlessgael3780]

@@SwoleBenji Okay thank you for answering my question

[@YoshiTheCat2000]

Like where to gather skin or upgrade skinning coz I just started and I am lvl 4...should I farm in blue zone or yellow zone

[@ezequieltellez9082]

hi, the mos eficcient is, if you have a t4 tool, farm t4 skin or less, when you got t5 tool, go farm yellow. You can level up in safe zones, but for t8 leveling you will need some guild o lern the hard way to farm in the black zone. Im a farmer t8 hi spect and i quit farming do to gankers, and you will get profit... but... i think is not funny, always running, scaping or on yout tipi toes. You will be much fun in DS with some cool non trade hard guild. Good Luck! @@YoshiTheCat2000

[@OfficerThumbs]

Is this the same concept as mining?

[@bigf0ot25]

Honestly imo while loss sucks, i can speak from experience as a new player whos only been playing for around a month now, and say that if gathering gets too boring for you, your next best bet is faction fights. The problem with this is in yz, because of non lethality, rich players will bring in 8.4 awakeneds and basically 3 players can kill 20 people geared at even 8.3 if they wait for the aoe phase. Nothing wrong with bombing, but it does present a problem for new players that i definitely sunk into for a moment: the thought then is “i need to be stronger so i can fight better”. Ok, so you grind whatever you can to get a few mil together for a nice 8.3 set and youve got roughly 1500 ip now with a lil bit of spec. Now you can bully lower geared players, but if you die, youre looking at somewhere between 80k and 120k, depending on the gear. 120k isnt much of course, but thats roughly 9000 faction points, which itself is easy to come by if youre letting zones cook up some stars and youre getting knockdowns of enemy factions at a healthy rate, but if either of those conditions arent present, 9000 points can be difficult to get, even at sage. It gets to a point then where even two or three knockdowns put you in the hole for the better part of 500k, which is around 30k points. While its not entirely a loss as youre getting faction standing regardless, you do tend to end up breaking even or even having less silver than you started with after selling hearts (as chests at least nowadays dont reward sellable tomes as much as they apparently used to). Compare this to a 4.1/5.0 set that with mount and all comes in at aboit 100k or less (sometimes much less), the math is plainly better toward black zone ganking/objectives like spiders, t5/t6 resources. Now all of this presumes a few mil in silver isnt terribly difficult to come by, but if youre able to generate even a mil a day, while youve gotta do the gathering grind no matter what because t7/t8 resources are free millions (or being able to speed gather with t8 tools in blue/yz), its been my experience that im often (though not always) generating way more silver way quicker in black zone by grouping up with two-five other people in my guild and just goofin off. Do a little ganking, do objectives if they show up, dont take fights you cant win etc.. Of course, this requires a guild but plenty of new player friendly guilds that are full of super helpful people. Obviously this doesnt speak to a steady sustainable means of income like gathering and islands, etc, but the problem with islands is how much the cost has been increased and, frankly, how fucking boring and tediuous gathering is, especially withoit premium. Like yeah the payoff for these things is huge eventually, but i think alot of new players probably quit when they realize theyre basically not allowed to play the game for at least a month or two while they just gather gather. Is that a better long term plan? Objectively, yes, but i think in terms of player satisfaction and enjoyability, its veen my experienc that rotating between gathering in blue/yz m, fame farming in statics, gathering/ganking/objectives in black zone/red zone is the best bet for new players as no matter what, there seems to be something of a systemic cap on how much a player can earn regardless of what they do depending on how far along in the game they are. I can make a mil in yz in about two-three hours at most depending on luck or i can make a similar amount in bz doing similar but different things. For my money, id rather dip my toes into all of the above as to not lose my mind from boredom doing just one thing at a time

this game needs npcs that have daily quests like. go to a yellow zone and get me X logs or go to a red zone and get me X hide. this would be good for newer solo players that need some direction and would help get them out there into those zones. this would also be good for some extra silver for even experienced players and would remain true to the games motto of having no linear quest line.
