Summer Alpha Ending, Roadmap to Closed Beta Revealed

In a new post on the Albion Online site, the team thanks the participating Alpha community for its feedback during the Summer Alpha Event that will end later today. With input from the community and after several meetings as a team, developers have identified several key areas that will be of primary concern as the closed beta phase of development is prepared.

Development over the next several months will focus on key areas of the game including:

• Gear progression and the power curve
• PvP gear acquisition and reducing the time needed to create sets
• Skill based combat and balancing
• Economy changes including the removal of the silver tax
• Overhaul of learning points
• Local GvG -- teams will have to have battle vaults in zones being attacked with characters having to be in proximity in order to participate
• GvG warcamps and timers
• Expanding the hellgate feature
• Open world PvP events centered around treasure chests spawning for 30 minutes with a 3 minute interrupt when an attempt is made to open it
• Food revamp
• Player housing, hirelings and pets
• Player islands to become upgrade-able and expandable
• Bug fixes, polish, etc.
