The next time that someone tells you to “Go to hell!” you can respond, “Thank you, I will — in Albion Online.”
The upcoming sandbox shone a spotlight on its hellgate system this week as a counter-measure to the habit of zerging in such games. To encourage players to form smaller groups, the devs have limited entry into these small hell dungeons to five players who find and kill a Gatekeeper on the world map.
Inside the dungeon, players will face off against demons and a big boss in the hopes of obtaining valuable crafting mats. It won’t be safe by any measure, as the devs will also occasionally direct a second group to enter the same instance for a surprise PvP encounter.
