Looks very similar to the mid one they posted last week. Still nice though.
Very green

[Indiana Jones]

so where are the portal keeps? where do we get ported to...

 

[amazingsteve]

If i remember right, we all port on a central land and have to swim or use boats to get to the different lands.

You don't get ported at all. You enter your own frontier and have to cross it to get to the coast, then cross the sea to reach an enemy frontier. There is no porting to move between frontiers anymore.

and that takes alot of time, so the frontiers are a big place now, hence you have one fight every hour?


sucky if you ask me :E

Well, they reckon there will be ways of getting a quick fight. The details haven't been ironed out, and that we'll find out more soon . . .

 

[Indiana Jones]

i predict lots of borderkeep camping by stealthers, if there are any stealthers left by then, as mythic will continue to nerf them

Theyre talking about being able to port between keeps, and zoom around in boats and other shit that people dont give a bollocks about.

Whatever they fking do to frontiers 90% of pvp will take place in one zone, on one area of land, thats flatish and suitable to fg vs fg as it currently is. All this is just a waste of time to make it appear that theyre 'doing' something with frontiers so they can get away with totally fking over the RA system to make he who haseth the best ML/Artifacts wins everytime instead of he who haseth the best RA's like it currently is.

If you actually read the accompanying article on the Herald, they say they are working on a transport system to give people more rapid access to the other realm's areas. I'll reserve judgement until they present their ideas.

MAn so much negativity

Go drink some egg nog .. go to the pub .. chill out ... then post something constructive..

IMO its good change as will let a lot of ppl use more tactics to overcome their opposition .. oh and looking at it there doesn't appear to be an awful lot of flat featureless land ... so i guess the fg cs playing squads with swords will have to work something else out.

 

[allnewdave]

I think its looking extremely good.

Points of Note

Thidranki style keeps. (1, 10)
Villages, possibly good places for stealthers (8)
Lots of purple arrows showing you where the cliffs are.
Light and heavy forests.
Real mountains, and not just big green hills.
Dungeon or clifftop area (4)

Looks nice imho. Hopefully the plan is that we can /release to those large keeps. Im quite sure my caffine/beer/pringle intake has risen dramatically since starting this game thanks to the /release/port/buff routine.

BTW i have just seen pics of the new albion frontier, enclosed below.

 

[Sparda_soul]

looks like they did well with that, i like the whole "your not getting in here scumbags" thing with the keeps

:bazbeer:

Exactly ... so guess where all the rvr will be

Kinda pointless, since every bordercrossing into the frontier is either so wide, or has at least three different exits.. no more bottlenecking there.

The border keeps are where people zone into the frontier from their homeland. These keeps are designed to allow access across a wide area, both outside and inside the relic defense wall. This forces relic raiders to blockade two areas to stop reinforcements during a relic raid.

Oh boohoo, their making the game better. /cry
