Just wanted to thank you, your guides really helped me out a lot, I had the week off work and started only a week ago and I have 11mil combat fame, 8.2 gear and 3 mil in my pocket. I am currently looking for a guild but I am very skeptical because the first one I joined “New Frontier” were taxing me 99% unknowingly for 3 days lol. Would love to join yours or a recommendation
I came across those guild that chill by the boss zone, i got hunted down like an animal, it sucks since im a new player and wanted to get close to the boss, im being gatekept from an ingame content because i have no friends ingame, this really make me not wanna buy premium
same with me. Even wit I go into pop zone with my best gear there is campers at every exit and entrance that just kill you in groups, its so annoying, I can't even enter the pvp are because when you enter the second or third realm from the portal I instantly get chased by 5 people that one shot my mount and they have infinite silver cos they are in insane guilds etc.
I started playing a week ago and actually considering quitting this early. I can't gather, go to dungeons, and enter mists because people hunt me when they see I'm using holy with limited mobility gear. And I've only played in the yellow zone.
@@charless.1962after dividing the population the least they could do is lessen the silver cost for premium.. just sell skin for real money come on SBI, im also a lone player this is as real as it gets as a role playing.. i just hope there is a guild who hunt down gankers ill join in a heart beat 😅 like putting a reward for a certain character
I agree with you on this one Benji "SBI Is getting too much greedy".. in their recent dev talk they even plead the people to not leave the game and come back..their words itself highlights on how many people are playing this game for few days and quitting. The main reason is "Its Not Rewarding for the NEW PLAYERS" therefore its not fun..it feels like a waste of time. I suggested my niece to play this game and the next day he told me, he feels like puking when he plays this game😂. I cant get any of my friends to play this game either, sad nobody wants to play because of how the game has become.
@@Ghostleeee Where did i sayd that game is unplayable? I got a lot more then you have. I Playing Black Zones and Yellow if i want. I got atm many sets to give away only to train pvp. So if you are new player all you can say that "you like this game for now" and thats fine... Still. You are on a start where getting T6 Ores is super nice. And im talking about getting in to T8 zones... And have fun there. Then we come to "This game is Like a rl life atm. Unfair. Money are only Importamt. And having a strong friends its only one way to be strong." But sure u can stay in yellow zones and lose some t5,t6 gears with no problem... Still guys who have 400000 gold and friends in a best guilds can have here everything easy...
yeah, i was killed with that exact gear in BZ a lot. Im farming no more in mist BZ because of that. In fact, that people use super soft rides like a bat and they are constant taking damage to their mounts using mobs, so when they see you they let some mob dismount them to then be able to insta attack you. Smarts little 8.4 rats XD
I’m a new solo mobile player. I can’t go into mist or abbeys without begging destroyed by higher players. I barely make it out with one chest sometimes
I agree with benji on staying in safe zones cuz you can have fairly balanced 1v1s and have fun without getting fucked for dying. black zone pvp is just getting ganked by geared people or groups of gankers ( which isnt fun ) and losing everything for it
Albion s the game I play when I’m too bored to do anything else since my ping is too high on the west and east if full of too many bots and gatekeepers, even though I hoped it would get better over time, I’m not sure how much longer I could last. So thought about quitting AGAIN already due to this and no friends
Yeah the mafia in this game is in control of everything. Played this game for 2 years and i can't even touch the bz boss without getting raided. Building shops in the city was one of the feature that got me into the game and sadly It's nearly impossible for 99% of player base.
it really sucks because the core game is good, but trying to get out to the world as a non-whale solo and enjoy all the game has to offer seems impossible, i always get ganked
it's my second day playing this game, from following ur videos im tier 6 skinning and gear, i've only died 1 time to a 8.4 geared guy (in yz openworld i was too lazy to run away) but in the mists yz i never die, like the people u killed walked into the mobs and now learned to get away better cause of it. today i got ganked by 3 people and got away because of dodging kiting whatever (fyi only playing cursed staff full cloth armor so no mobility) so i don't really think its a big issue the new players learn and the rich have fun.
If only 8% are in the black zone. Means 7% are hacking. When in all games combined 30% of the player base are hackers. Using esp and such. Also skill was always a counter to p2w. But with no level or gear capped areas you get to show up and die lol
It's a video game. How's it my fault? The devs coded the game this way. I'm having fun with the game within the rules and confines of the game. How is this a mental issue? Perhaps you're too timid to admit you like it too? Or you're the mental one who thinks doing wild and crazy things in a video game is somehow just as bad as doing it in real life?
Thank You,,,Thank You,,,😢😢 Im a Solo player Ganked By players so much,,,Bro Like They are grinding Me for Fame,,,😭 Thank you,, you Tell this In details We need Part 2
Yes, insane isn't it. I was paying premiun, then one day got so shock of the price that was deducted on my account. So sadly I cut I've stop and kinda lost interest in playing already.
@@angemabika1868bcoz of the game imbalances, if u are new you must stay in the yellow zone or blue zones unless you have a full 8.4 equipment and you can atleast have a chance to stand against almost all kinds of player in red and black zones... if u can't pay real money it will take months to build that a bit chance of surviving against all kinds of gankers... mostly other players doesn't find it fun or atleast entertaining, coz in the first place why they play the game bcoz they want to have fun...
Thanks for the videos. I have been playing the game for a month, I am looking to get for an Island, I have 500k with a week of premium. Can you make a video about how to start managing an Island? What could be the best to get silver from it for newbies. Thanx again
HUH IM a new player just been a month and i kind of like this game alot cuz my frd plays it so ..... tried my hardest and cuz my pc is low end i don't try to fight with player but really wanna but thought maybe in the future so become gatherer and grind like crazy and brought island and focusing on one dress to craft and sell its all good but man i was sooo disappointed when it said i need over 2m again to upgrade or do anything on island and the 17 mil need for premium bruh i was mehhh its too much and when i heard it was soo low back in the day that i wanna stop this game now . this game isn't for new players ,the one who get to play from start get to enjoy it i suppose
Yeah, the black zone in the east is crawling with douche wearing bear paw with 5 other guy too cut you in front. Maybe I'm just trash at juking ganker. For me its saltier to be killed by ganker, if it's one on one then its fine.. Been following your newbie advice and so far its really great, 👍 I kinda have a good load of silver following your advice
I watched your new best start 2023 guide from a month ago, and now after I watched this video I don't want to play the game, even tho it looks fun, I love the graphics and the freedom to be what ever u want. BUT the cons are wayyy to much bro. Do you know another mmorpg that's not unbalanced like albion rn?
You say like in WoW, atleast in wow you kept your armour and repairs didn't cost that much. Just now, two 8.4's killed me 5 times in a row costing me a fortune in repairs. It basically erased the last 1 hour work I just did, for what? People leave because the games full of toxic people, I don't even try to kill anyone lower than me, I just leave them to it. The game culture for players is horrible, never mind SBI. Those players you downed, people quit for that.
Even when wearing the best possible gear in the game the repairs are 250-300k, which is maybe 10 minutes tops of gathering. In WoW in full Naxx tank gear it was like 80 gold, which by then is barely 5-10 minutes of farming.
@@garethhhhh Yeah, you'll need to play on West, have premium, have tier 8 gathering, have t8 ava tool, journals, and laborers while waiting for the refining bonus day for t2 then wait for the t2 to normalize. Otherwise it's a bit less.
IT IS SO EASY TO FIX: SBI could just simply add different mists with certain IP ranges (while ignoring the IP given through capes and OC)... Like a mist where players only wear 700 to 1000 ip, 1000 to 1200 ip, 1200 to 1500ip and so on... This would be way more balanced, than everything we have compared corruped dungeons and in the current state of the mists. It would be so easy to add and bring so much joy to the players. But no, unbalanced pvp zones are definetly very good for everyone, thats why so many players left the game, it is just sooooooo much fun to introduce inequalities towards players to earn more money, (120 specs, 8.4 gear, awakened items, prowling staff that deals more damage and has more mobility and chase potential than any weapon I know, increased premium prise, etc.) 🙃 So sad, how greed destroys such a beautiful game...
The last statement is a miss. Stillfront massively overpaid for the SBI acquisition. It was poorly timed, revenues are down, and they are underwater. Not all people who need money are greedy. Some are desperate.
@@Ssen0nesS yeah... you may be right... maybe it is the current market of video games, that makes albion not profitable. Nevertheless, I think that Albion is an unique game, that would not need to cooperate with Stillfront... It has so much potential, that sadly gets wasted by p2w mechanics. In my opinion the game would be way more popular but sadly not more profitable if these p2w mechanics get removed :(
@@amicus133 Ya, agree 100. I still think there is a path back to greatness if they can get their revenue expectations straightened out. I guess I'm hopeful, but far short of optimistic.
i swiped to catch up with friends, it was about $500 to get 100 spec in two trees, curse at 115 and holy at 110. i would swipe more but one friend was inspired by my swiping and decided to swipe harder via chinese gold site and got himself and my guild leader banned thus leaving me with a mostly friendless $500 character i would have spent more on if they (my friends) weren't banned. not blaming sbi, my friend is dumb.
This is the reality of every MMO pvp and is unavoidable. Furthermore while it is unfair to new players that someone much more progressed than them can simply kill them, it would be similarly unfair to people that have put in the time to grind and earn silver if a new player could kill them with starting weapons. what even would be the purpose of progression at all? If anything you yourself have some of the blame to take for your mantra telling players to stay in yellow zones and farm resources and clear solo statics for fame without risk. Your series of tutorials directly contributes to the number of vastly overgeared players that newbies have to contend with at every objective.

I’m a new solo mobile player. I can’t go into mist or abbeys without begging destroyed by higher players. I barely make it out with one chest sometimes
I’m just trying to get into the game myself and your videos have been very helpful
Everything in this video is true. I was killed today by the 1st guy in the leaderboard and coulnt do anything about it. I just got 1 shoted
This is Albion! Things like this happen, just get better on escaping stronger players! ;)

what a psycho I swear.
It's a video game though?
I mean if you couldnt have better gear and spec it wouldnt be an mmorpg anymore no?
he called you " fkn kid" " you have nothing else to do"
Never understood why mists arent matchmaked with ip lvl in mind or even with group size. They are already instanced, such a joke lol.
I agree, just want to get to that point and become and established player one day.
My god some hate comments sound like you killed someone irl people need to chill
it really sucks because the core game is good, but trying to get out to the world as a non-whale solo and enjoy all the game has to offer seems impossible, i always get ganked
It is not that is why I do not play in the mist anymore. If no one uses the content it will die

Seems like it wasnt a good time for me to get into te game, probably gonna stuck to blue + yellow zones as i prefer grinding resources.
