I’d like to be able to say that Albion Online is no longer under siege by DDOS blackmailers, but unfortunately, the most recent one was yesterday, as detailed by the new status page.
The attacks haven’t stopped development of the live game, however. In Sandbox Interactive’s latest roadmpa post, Game Director Robin Henkys spares one paragraph to discuss DDOS countermeasures before hurtling into upcoming content. “We’re aiming to bring you 3-4 major updates per year and these updates will consist of a healthy mixture of new features and improvements to existing systems,” he says.
The first of those is codenamed Jospeh and should arrive in late September or early October. Expect it to include a 5v5 arena mode, improved loot chest spawning, two new high-end expeditions, new abilities, heavy improvements to the interface, smart casting, reworked animations, and a balance pass for combat and items.
Three months after Joseph and before the end of the year, the team is planning Kay, with a heavy focus on guild-vs.-guild play and territory raiding. In 2018, the team will be working on elite expeditions, interactive PvE sports, blessings, guild quality-of-life, and vanity rewards.
Launch Patch #4 is now live! Detailed patch notes are available here: https://t.co/W41hwmi5l6 pic.twitter.com/wmPml3W7kZ
