Albion Online Released Its Launch Patch On July 17

Albion Online, a new sandbox-style MMORPG, is open to both casual and seasoned players. After a last beta session last March, Albion Online, a new sandbox-style MMORPG, finally opened its servers to the general public with its launch patch on July 17th.

 

 

Improvements

 

♦ Implemented new starter packs, and updated founder packs

♦ Improved Premium store UI

♦ Added subscription option to Premium store

♦ Adjusted Premium Time Packages

♦ Updated the splash screen image

♦ Added new intro video!

♦ Updated layouts of home territories:

       • Rearranged general layout to make for more of an even fight between attackers and defenders

       • Now using three capture points rather than four

       • Moved building positions to ensure there is enough space to fight in

♦ Temporarily increased the maximum defender bonus in GvGs from 20 to 50

       • This is just to mitigate against potentially large gear discrepancies in the early game

♦ Adjusted land auction timers so the first auction happens two weeks after launch; all subsequent auctions will work on a four-week cycle

♦ Temporarily added carrot drops

       • All mobs that drop silver will also have a chance of dropping carrots, at a rate of around 1 carrot per 1000 silver

       • This is expected to be removed in the first patch after launch, and is just to prevent nutrition bottlenecks in the first week

 

Combat Balance Changes

 

Holy Staffs - Flash Heal

 

♦ Heal value: 47.17 -> 42.45

♦ Heal bonus per stack: 6% -> 4%

♦ Energy restoration: 4 -> 2.42
