On Albion Online, you have the classic PVP and balanced, the PVE very present and all the mechanics that revolves around the trade. As we see in the course of the articles, Albion is a very complete and very well finished game, which returns to convince those who swore by the ancient World of Warcraft. But what makes Albion unique for players having paced a lot of MMORPGs is undoubtedly his unique system of Hellgates.
A Hellgates is a demonic gate that opens up on a map and through which you can swoop if you feel like it to participate in a skillfully combining PVE and PVP.
Until now, the Hellgates were a bit of a beast of players who did not necessarily appreciate the PVP, because these portals were all linked and made one. For example, when a portal opens in Dark Zone, a Yellow Zone, and a Red Zone, the players in these maps, if they enter the portal, find themselves face to face. Needless to say that at this level it is a bit of butchery and that for a poor player who starts in PVP it is clearly the cold shower.
Interactive Sandbox, anxious to bring a unique experience adapted to all, offers to completely review the Hellgates starting with the internal Map.
On this map, this plan of the Hellgates, it is clear that one of the problems has been solved, that of the campers and the fugitives. Because you have to know that in Albion, as in many MMOs, there are ruthless people who have fun attracting mobs, generating aggro, leaving them, and finally killing you while you are busy with your mobs. Fair play level you can still do better. This new map aims to correct certain points. Already each team will arrive in one of the angles, which excludes from entering one of the outings, as it will be random.
The minibosses will also be present and relatively easy to kill. They will let loose a lot of loot and will unlock the final boss, because as said above, a Hellgates is a mix of PVP and PVE. Once the boss is defeated, a portal will appear and you can leave the Hellgates quietly.
But Sandbox did not limit itself to changing the interior of the Hellgates, they were also balancing them and what a great idea to propose to cut them by level.
As said above, initially it was a little brothel in the Hellgates, you could meet teams from all horizons, including the most dangerous (Dark Zone). Also to rebalance a little the deal, Sandbox decided to cut them by three-step. From Hector’s exit, you will be able to access Ashen, Ignited and Infernal Hellgates.
