Albion Online is starting soon, but before the release, the big Hector update is coming. It targets the Outland cities and also includes a redistribution of resources from the Outland.
Albion Online, the sandbox MMO from Berlin, begins on July 17. But before that, the grim Hector update is set to shake things up in the Albion world.
Fans of the ports and Outland cities will have to be very brave now.
Albion Online – Outland Cities Be Gone!
The developers at Sandbox Interactive are not satisfied with the ports and Outland cities. These settlements have been nests full of guilds without territory and players who have been banished from the royal lands. The developers do not like it. Therefore, they are taking the radical step and tearing down all cities of this kind!
Instead of Outland cities, the Hector update introduces a portal in the central city of Caerleon, which leads to all Outland zones. This makes Caerleon the sole access point to the Outland.
Attention: If you have stored items or gold in the cities doomed to destruction, you should secure your valuables as soon as possible, as the Hector update will be released on June 7.
Albion Online – More Resources in the Outland with Hector Upgrade
Hector doesn’t just destroy cities; he also ensures that new things are created. With the update, two new methods of resource distribution in the Outland will be introduced:
- All Outland zones will contain the same amount of resources. However, difficult black zones will have more enchanted materials, making these areas more attractive for collectors.
- Spying tower areas within the Outlands will be upgraded. With the update, they will be the only areas containing tier 8 resources. The resources will spawn here at the respective primetime of the area, making it more attractive for guild vs. guild battles. Additionally, players can start gathering right away without having to wait unnecessarily.
All these changes are explained in the embedded video by Game Director Robin Henkys. Enjoy watching!
