[outdated] Allods Online [Hilo Oficial] Guild MV!

Ship ownership is available one you hit level forty but any character in your guild or friends list is able to join your crew, whatever the level. But you'll want to make sure you can rely on your shipmates, as a great deal of teamwork is needed to properly utilise these majestic ships.


Navigation is key in any conflict.At least six players are needed to man a ship effectively- two to man the vertical and lateral engines, one to manage the forward facing cannons, two others to man the middle guns either side of the ship and finally a navigator to plot the ships route. It requires a good sense of team work and constant verbal communication.


Combat involves constant manoeuvring.The most damaging weapons in your arsenal are the forward facing guns at the bow. It takes a good helmsmen to place the ship at the correct angle without being in danger from the other teams cannons. The front cannons have the ability to end combat quickly but with a long recharge time you won't want to waste them. There are also side cannons at your disposal but they lack the power of their bigger brothers at the front of the ship

.Battles can either take place in dedicated PvP arenas or they can happen in the Astral plane with many other ships. We were told that players will be able to raid other peoples ships at a moments notice, without any protection. Just like in Eve: Online, if you aren't protected when returning from a bountiful mission, you risk you're loot being stolen and your ship wrecked.

Any damage you experience during combat carries over, so if you lose an engine in combat you'll have to collect enough resources and wait for another to be built. It sounds punishing but adding this sort of risk gives combat an edge which other MMO's lack. Imagine coming back from an arduous quest only to have your treasure stolen by an opportunist pirate, minutes away from the safety of a port. We've seen this sort of ruthless community activity before in Eve and it will definitely be a factor in Allods as well.

All of the ships exist as tangible objects in the game's universe. You'll be able to explore and wonder around inside the different rooms, look out of the windows and interact with various apparatus inside. Just like Guild Halls you'll have the ability to upgrade with new weapons, customise different quarters and make your ship noticeably different from others. They'll become flagships of certain guilds and Gpototo hopes that some will become notorious for their grandeur and combative reputation.

Allods has the potential to be something absolutely huge and from what we've talked about the past few days, we hope the Russian developers can deliver. The characters are interesting, the quest structure huge and the PvP ships have the potential to change the way we think about the competitive aspect of MMO's.

Whether all these different strands will form a cohesive experience remains to be seen. But the full game is scheduled for release before the end of the year, so we won't have to wait long to find out. We are very excited about Allods and from what we have seen so far, you should be too.
