Dev Talk: Accessibility Improvements & Crystal Arena

Accessibility to high-level content is one of the cornerstones of the upcoming Into the Fray update, both in terms of the open-world experience and Albions 5v5 play. In this Dev Talk, Game Director Robin Henkys takes an in-depth look at some of the ways this will be addressed - with new Portal Towns, a Journey Back ability, new Arena and Crystal League modes, and more. [previewyoutube=bU2m9w7sd8U;full][/previewyoutube] Read on for a summary of the video, and watch our previous Dev Talk on Magic Staffs here.

Portal Towns


  • Replace the existing Outlands portal regions
  • Each Royal City has a corresponding Portal Town in the Outlands
  • Each Portal Town shares a Bank and Marketplace with its corresponding Royal City, allowing Outlands-based players a more convenient access point for these
  • Each Portal Town features a number of exits into the Outlands
  • Invisibility Shrines are now more prominent, and their Invisibility effect lasts longer

Journey Back Ability


  • Designed to encourage players to venture deeper into the open world
  • Journey Back is an ability on all mounts except for battle mounts
  • Transports the player to their last-visited City or Hideout, after a medium-length channel
  • Using this ability costs a Silver fee, determined by the distance traveled and the value of goods and equipment carried
  • Cannot be used in the following cases:
    • After trading with another player
    • After taking items from a Bank or player-placed chest
    • When returning from a trade mission
    • When positioned within a large group of players
    • When subject to the Disarray or Outlaw penalties

Other Convenience Improvements


  • New on-death tutorials and survival tips
  • Lost Equipment Loadout saves the last equipment you wore before death into a loadout, for quick regearing
  • Training Dummies for combat practice added to Player Islands (from Level 1) and Guild Islands (from Level 3)
  • UI improvements like tooltips for region exits, a Muted Players UI, searching and filtering in crafting UIs, and an improved Party UI

Crystal Arena


  • A new competitive, non-full-loot, 5v5 Arena mode
  • Players can sign up solo or as a group, and will be auto-matched with an opposing team of a similar skill level
  • Winning matches earns Rank Points, which determines a players Arena Rank
  • Rewards for winning a match scale up as a players rank increases, and players also earn rewards when they reach a new level (once per season for each level)
  • Rewards include a new gladiator-themed wardrobe set, exclusively given for Arena participation

Non-Lethal Crystal League


  • Will run parallel to the existing, full-loot Crystal League
  • Provides an additional pathway to the Crystal League Championship
  • Offers rewards, though less than the full-loot League

Other Changes


  • Rewards for both Crystal League modes now include the new Crystal Gladiator wardrobe set
    • This is exclusive to the Crystal Leagues and is non-tradable
  • Adjustments made to the Crystal League map
  • New Double Healer Penalty debuff in the Crystal League
  • New Custom Matches UI allows you to challenge another party with a specific map and set of rules
  • General Arena rewards have been improved
With these accessibility improvements to high-level action in the Outlands, Crystal League and Crystal Arena, we cant wait to see both new and experienced players try them out when Into the Fray launches on June 8. Stay tuned for our next Dev Talk, where well discuss Victory Emotes, Dynamic Events and all the changes and improvements coming to Castles. See you then!

  • Albion Online is a sandbox MMORPG set in an open medieval fantasy world. The game features a player-driven economy where nearly every item is player-crafted. Combine armor pieces and weapons suited to your playstyle in a unique, classless "you are what you wear" system. Explore the world, take on other adventurers in thrilling battles, conquer territories, and build a home.



    Craft. Trade. Conquer.
    Dive in now and become part of a living fantasy world where everybody matters.

    Key Features



    From basic tools and clothes to mighty armors and powerful weapons – nearly every item in the game is crafted by players, in player-constructed buildings, from resources gathered by players. Buy, sell, and trade with other players at local marketplaces all across the world of Albion. Craft rare and powerful items, then sell them to the highest bidder and grow your fortune.



    In Albion Online's classless combat system, you are what you wear. The weapons and armor you use define your skills, and switching playstyles is as easy as switching gear. Test out new equipment anytime and change up your weapons, armor, and mounts to suit any situation. Hone your character’s skills by crafting new items, or by simply using your favorite equipment.



    From solo to small-group to large-scale battles, you'll need strategy, tactics, and skill to prevail. Test yourself against other adventurers in high-risk, high-reward full-loot fights. Level your combat specializations, create unique builds with complementary skills, and use every tool at your disposal to emerge victorious.



    Join a guild and carve out your own piece of Albion in massive open-world battles. Claim territories for access to incredible resources, construct guild halls, and conquer entire cities to levy taxes and grow your wealth. Build a Hideout to give your guild a powerful home base deep in dangerous lands. Lead your guild to victory in the Crystal League, and track your progress against other guilds worldwide on a constantly-updated seasonal leaderboard.



    Claim a city plot or private island and make it your own. Grow crops to sell or craft into food, raise your own livestock and mounts, and place crafting stations for other players to use for a fee. Stock your house with custom furniture and trophies, build chests to store your growing collection of loot, and hire laborers to keep everything at your homestead running smoothly.



    From small scouting bands to massive bosses, from dungeons to full-blown faction bases, the inhabitants of Albion’s open world await your challenge. Take on six different factions, each with different enemies that require unique strategies. Partake in solo or group Expeditions, or seek out the ultimate thrill by facing demons and other players alike in Hellgates and Corrupted Dungeons.



    Explore five beautiful biomes, each with its own challenges. Gather valuable raw materials for crafting, or cast a line into Albion's waters to catch rare and valuable fish. Seek out randomly generated solo and group dungeons and slay powerful foes for valuable loot. Enter the mystical Roads of Avalon to discover ever-changing paths between distant zones, face off against long-dormant foes, and build your own Hideout in this vast and ancient land.



    Albion Online is a true cross-platform MMO experience. Whether you prefer Windows, Mac, Linux, or even Android or iOS (mobile currently in beta), one account lets you play on all platforms, with all players on a single shared server. Forge alliances with other players worldwide and take part in massive battles to determine the fate of Albion.
