Dev Talk: Castle Changes and Dynamic Events

Into the Fray, Albion's next major content update, launches on June 8. In our last Dev Talk before the update goes live, Game Director Robin Henkys discusses the huge changes coming to Castles, the new Dynamic Events system, and Twitch Drops, which include Victory Emotes.

Castles


Castles have been an iconic element of Albion Online since the early Alpha. With Albions Fifth Anniversary coming up, they have been reworked to make them even more fun and appealing:
  • Overhauled graphics: new gates and destruction effects, new interiors
  • New layouts allowing for more varied tactics and multiple fronts (2 different layouts depending on biome)
  • Demolition Hammers now used directly from inventory like tools, capture mechanics now similar to Faction Outposts
  • Updated rewards: instead of scoring Season Points regularly, Castles and Outposts now have a chance to spawn chests regularly
  • Chests provide Might and update a guild's Might Level, generating Season Points and creating new opportunities for smaller guilds

All in all, you can look forward to more action around Castles all throughout the week and if you liked the previous system, the massive weekend loot chests remain in place.

Dynamic Events


A new Activities UI provides a one-stop overview of all the game's timed activities. It offers two event types: 1. Activity Events
  • Shown in the upper left
  • Give temporary bonuses to existing activities (e.g. Fame in Randomized Dungeons, increased Faction Points, Fame and Loot in Hellgates)
  • These bonuses are randomized and last several days, with the next bonuses visible 24 hours in advance

2. Daily Production Bonuses
  • Shown in the upper right
  • Give daily changing production bonuses to two different item or resource lines
  • Globally increase resource return rates for producing these items on that day
  • Bonus is usually moderate, but on rare occasions can become significant
  • Rewards crafters for diversifying their crafting capabilities, adds additional market fluctuations for traders
Were very much looking forward to seeing how both Activity Events and Daily Production Bonuses affect daily life in Albion, as we have many ideas for how we could expand on these concepts in the future.

Twitch Drops


Albion Online has a dedicated group of content creators, and to support them and grow the Albion Online community, weve integrated Twitch Drops.
  • Players can link their Twitch account to their Albion account and earn rewards for watching official content creators
  • Up to 7 Community Reward Chests can be earned per week contain a wide variety of vanity items and unlocks
  • Unlocks include existing vanity skins and entirely new exclusive variations
  • Can be salvaged into Community Tokens, which can be spent at the Vanity Merchant in each 'y

Victory Emotes


Victory Emotes are a new type of audio-visual expression of your victory over another player, played at the location of your defeated opponent at the moment of your victory.
  • Each time an emote is played, it consumes a single charge
  • Charges can be earned from Community Chests, crafted with Community Tokens, or bought with Gold
  • Premium players can also trade Victory Emote Charges earned from Community Chests via the in-game marketplace
  • Launching with a small selection, will be expanded in the future
  • Can be turned off in Settings at any time.

And with that we conclude our look at the features coming to Albion Online with the Into the Fray Update. Were very ex'ed about all the improvements coming to Albion Online with this update and are looking forward to seeing you in-game on June 8th, when Into the Fray releases.

  • 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.
