No more queues, still loads of people on. The grind is real but the pvp makes it fun for me.
It's not. It's from a German company called Sandbox Interactive (as if they expected the name alone to imbue their product with the qualities it describes).I didn't realise this game was from CCP.
Thank god I got this game for free.
The parts that rubs me the wrong way are.. (Satirically salty...)
The game was designed, ground up, for shit tier devices like mobiles and tablets, because of this there are few options for players to increase the overall feel of the client and the UI.
- Want to make the UI Smaller or change the layout?
Sure! They pre-packaged 2 settings for scale because no one needs more than 2 settings and you can change your layout a ton, Fucked up mess with abilities on the bottom or fucked up mess with abilities on the right!
- Zoom out?
Nope, fuck off hacker.
- Zoom in?
SURE! CHECK OUT THOSE 8 POLYGON MODELS UP CLOSE BOYEEE!
- Want to only see enemy names and hit bars for simpler targeting because FUCK OFF TAB TARGETING THIS ISN"T WOW REEEEEEEE?
Can't do that, too OP, but we can show you all of the people around you or your guild, that's helpful...right?
- Smart Cast? Maybe a keybind for smartcast?
This isn't League of legends...get to clicking.
- Oh man, I just got this amazing ability! What the fuck does it do?
There are more things but ultimately this is it for now.What kind of mouth breathing fuckwad needs tooltips?
I swear to god this game was not thought out and it plays like they didn't have a single beta test.

EDIT:
Because I'm bored, adding more.
Escape closes out of all windows and not just the top level window.
Cannot see guild on the minimap or main map.
Lol I decided to watch a few steamers tonight instead of playing and apparently they are paying summit to play it and it's obvious. Chat is just going crazy with booooorrrriiiinnnngggg.
All the while he's clicking all over in combat and mashing his spacebar to give it some excitement instead of hitting 3 buttons every 5-8 seconds, fucking cringey.
But Albion is in the top 10 on twitch...until he logs off.
The fact that this game has made about 40 million dollars before it even launched makes me fucking sick. The entire gaming community should be embarrassed honestly. I swear it's as if the entire industry is going in reverse. How the fuck is it possible for a game to look and play worse than 15-20 year old games that it's trying to emulate? I'm not sure what's worse, the shitty devs that made this shitty game or the idiots in the community that threw literally 1000's of dollars at this game while it was in beta?(yes I shit you not I met numerous people that said they spent 1,000$+ on gold while the game was still in beta). Like what the actual fuck? Is it seriously this easy to scam people out of their money?

This is why Kripp is one of my favorite streamers. I guarantee he got offered a shitload of money to play this game and turned it down because he knows how garbage it is. Although I guess I can't blame sell outs like Summit and Sodapoppin because I'm sure they're getting well in the 5 figure amounts to play it.
I wish I wasn't man.
Yeah, let's celebrate garbage games made by fools themselves because the bar needs to be any lower than it already is.good on them if they have decent net on that shit
a fool and his money...
uh-huh... TSM Kripp Albion Online Until ~1:30AM EDT! http://bit.ly/AlbionKripp (Sponsored)This is why Kripp is one of my favorite streamers. I guarantee he got offered a shitload of money to play this game and turned it down because he knows how garbage it is.
I guess I'm the only person having a good time with this. I hope they do well and encourage more open world/conquest PvP type games. There really aren't enough of them.

The AO devs are just a band of incompetent millennials who transplant concepts from games they like (namely EVE) into their own, regardless of suitability. It's the "monkey see, monkey do" approach to game design.
