Developers do not listen to the community or their feedback and seem only interested in spending their money on marketing, not any development.

    Game design forces everyone into zerg style play(in the +1 mentality, where overwhelming numbers is more important than any semblance of skills) not just in the fight mechanics, but the hoards of guild slaves needed to finance the extremely high costs of the guild leader's gear in the 5v5s. However, the game architecture can't even handle the zerg vs zerg is forces everyone into and it turns into a laggy mess with disconnects any time people try to engage in how the developers purportedly designed the game to be played instead of solo or in small groups(which the CEO of the company said the game was not made for) that the game consistently punishes you for.    … Expand

    The company is just thinking of making money when they came up with this game. It is clearly a P2W game and ofc those who made the game, they only whant to suck the players that can afford to pay as much as possible.

    Albion Online, what can i say, its absolutely hideous, in every single way you can imagine, graphics, pvp, pve, every single little thing.
    its just a pay to play/win or do anything, this is no **** game, this is just a **** show of bad developement and having **** politics for the users.
    DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

    A phone game that is only playable on PC after 4 years of development hell. Shallow, boring, and P2W. It takes them 3+ months to implement anything, and instead of fixing critical problems they destroy and rework things that never needed changing.

    This game focus too much on PVP actions but weapons and gear are completely unbalance. If y don't play meta but weapons y like. you will always die no matter how much skilled, y are. Many games have a meta gear/heroes/champions, but they can be countered in someway.You should do not expect this mechanic of meta in this game.

    The whole game is waiting in a qeue to get into a server. They try to annoy you to make you buy premium. I enjoy waiting to get into the game for 30 minutes to cut down birch logs. Game is awful.

    This game is constantly evolving and is pretty much indistinguishable from how it was a year ago. The current version (Queen) basically sums up to this:

    Do you like big 200v200 battles (ZvZ)? If so do the following: grind PvE to be relevant then join one of the mega alliances.

    Do you not care about 200v200 battles (ZvZ) or are in a small guild and dont wish to join a mega? Uninstall the game.

    That's basically it. They constantly announce changes only to back pedal on them a few days later. They add in band-aid fixes to player created problems rather than solving the underlying issue (portal zone invisibility shrines). This entire game is nothing but massive battles now, any type of small group PvP content is either infested with rats (Hellgates) or so clique based you'll never get in a good group and your only option is to form groups with random people you meet in discord (crystal realm battles) only to get destroyed by old GvG main teams with 150-200 battles played because there is no MMR system in this game and they prefer to farm the newer players in low level crystals than push higher keys. Oh you want to gank? Good luck finding anyone in the now insanely massive black zone that isn't travelling with a massive group or 5 inches away from their safe space hideout.

    Finally this game has a terrible server/host. There's always connection problems with this game for people in certain regions and when you get into those massive 200v200 battles the server/game can't even handle it. You will need a lot of money to play this game if you actually do enjoy the large scale battles, which is even harder to make now with the gathering changes and lack of consistent ganking. But don't worry, you can buy in game currency with real money ;)    … Expand

    Game only one server in US.
    The dev is German and they know what they are doing. Make outside US player as chicken to be killed by US players. That make game fun for US players and keep the player base.

    You could kindly call Albion Online old-school or hardcore, which might appeal to gamers with a nostalgia for the days of corpse runs, griefing, and ganking. Less graciously, you could say it is repetitive, cynical, uninspired, and opaque. In truth, MMORPGs that survive their infancy often grow into very different games than they were at launch. Patches and player input often have a way of shaping a game for the better, and given time, Albion Online may evolve as well.

    Albion Online is a fun sandbox MMORPG with a clever progression mechanic and deep player-economy. The mid to late game grind and hardcore nature might turn away anyone looking for a more casual experience.

    Albion Online remains very motivating despite the large grind, thanks to the many and freely selectable options for character development.
