Robin Henkys, the Game Director of Albion Online, has released a new developer Q&A video, where he discussed community questions, feedback, and upcoming updates, including anti-cheat improvements.
One of the main topics raised was the desire for more combo abilities with the "Q" and "W" skills, as well as enhanced passives to strengthen weapon identities. The combat team is reviewing these mechanics and considering adding new combinations where needed. While there is no set timeline for passives, a significant overhaul is planned.
Anti-cheat improvements were also highlighted. The development team is working on security solutions that don’t compromise performance in large-scale battles. Progress has been made, resulting in the banning of several cheaters, but they are still working on even more effective solutions to ensure fair play without sacrificing performance.
Another key focus was improving the solo player experience. Recent updates, such as those in the Paths to Glory series, have already brought significant changes, but more are on the way. Upcoming loot system adjustments and open-world improvements will enhance the solo experience further. Additionally, safer zones will offer better rewards, and PvE content will be tweaked to keep the challenge engaging and rewarding.
The community also suggested new game modes, like 3v3 for certain content, but the team pointed out that while these ideas are interesting, they must be carefully considered to avoid fragmenting the player base. The developers remain focused on refining existing features, balancing the game, and offering both solo and group players fun, challenging, and rewarding content.
The full Q&A video provides more detailed responses. Overall, the team is committed to refining their existing resources while actively listening to community feedback to enhance the game.
