Ah, rogues. Depending on who you ask, they're either the class of choice for the smart and cunning or a complete pain in the backside. But there's no denying that within the realm of gaming, the classic rogueish activities of criminality and skullduggery are great fun. And Albion Online agrees, which is why the new Rogue Frontier update lets you live out your skulking fantasies.
The main highlight of the Rogue Frontier update is the introduction of the Smuggler faction. Their Smuggler's Dens provide a new opportunity for solo and small-scale players to establish bases in the Outlands. This empowers them to evade their more powerfully-armed peers, offering a strategic advantage in the game's dynamic environment.
Additionally, the Smuggler's Network introduces a new Outlands market system. This encourages players to sneak their ill-gotten goods to the Smuggler faction, where they can receive enhanced rewards. New Smuggler activities further expand the opportunities for skullduggery, catering to those aspiring to be ne'er-do-wells.
There's also plenty for the more front-facing players. The new Bank overview system allows you to track your loot across different storage locations. Three new Crystal weapons and a journal category to track encountered creatures add depth to the gameplay experience. The Rogue Frontier update truly has something for everyone.
Given the focus on constant conflict in survival MMOs like Albion Online, it's refreshing to see more options for players who prefer to avoid direct confrontation. The risk and reward element of evading those who seek to steal your hard-earned gains adds an exciting layer of tension, just as thrilling as a head-on assault against monsters.
