Albion Online Previews Rise Of Avalon Hideouts In Their Latest Dev Vlog

After announcing the release date for the Albion Online Rise of Avalon update, Sandbox Interactive is now back to their regularly scheduled preview of the upcoming update. Today, we’re taking a look at the new Roads of Avalon Hideout system in Part 3 of the Rise of Avalon video series.

In addition to Hideouts in the Outlands, guilds will also be able to place Hideouts within the Roads of Avalon. Hideout locations are marked by massive energy crystals which can be claimed by guilds during set battle times visible in the zone map. But because there are no set territories in the Roads of Avalon, any guild with enough siphoned energy will be able to attack the Hideout at the beginning of a zone’s “prime time.”

Once the Hideout loses a defense point, it will become invulnerable until the next day’s battle time. Avalon gateways, however, don’t remain in one position throughout the day which means that attacking guilds will have to remain in the zone until they can attack the Hideout again and won’t be able to call in reinforcements either. Initial attacks are also harder to carry out because gateways will only let a limited number of players through at once.

This makes Avalon Hideouts perfect for smaller guilds who don’t have the manpower necessary to defend a Hideout in the Outlands. They won’t gain territory like in the Outlands but they’ll be rewarded with a small crafting bonus that they can use to their advantage while they gear up to capture an Outland Hideout for themselves.
