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 Rogue Frontier is the introduction of the Smuggler faction. Their Smuggler's Dens provide a perfect base of operations for solo and small-scale players in the Outlands, empowering them to evade their more powerfully-armed peers. This update truly caters to those who relish the thrill of subterfuge and strategic avoidance.
Moreover, the Smuggler's Network introduces a new Outlands market system, encouraging you to sneak your ill-gotten goods to this faction for enhanced rewards. New Smuggler activities further expand the opportunities for skullduggery, making it an exciting time for aspiring ne'er-do-wells.
**Sneaky sneaky, slicey throaty** There's also a whole lot more for you braver and front-facing players. The new Bank overview system helps you track your loot across storage locations, while three new Crystal weapons and a journal category to track encountered creatures add to the excitement. The Rogue Frontier update truly has something for everyone.
Given the focus on constant conflict in survival MMOs like Albion Online, it's interesting and very welcome that they're offering more for players who want to actively avoid conflict. The risk and reward element here is just as thrilling; after all, evading those who'd risk your ill-gotten gains for a bigger payday is as pulse-pounding as a head-on assault against monsters.
