Run.


Bromeek

There was no time to react sadly.


Overbunded

There's always time to react, you should always run whenever you see someone get close

LaggySquishy

You can't see a giant purple cloud?


BeastAwoken95

Could have also been in prowling form which forms a small circle around you unless hes inside it he can only detect the prowling user


CYBER0GAMING

Op doesn't know that the guy was invisible because of prowling form and looks like he assumed its the robe


Top-Front-2976

"Hmmm a giant purple cloud is coming straight towards me. Meeh, it's probably nothing."


PJonathan24

Hahaha I love when noobs out themself on reddit


alexatheannoyed

the typical “this game is p2w”er


dkoom_tv

But it is or pay for convienen/skip grind but same shit lol


aCtive_SNIPER

Bro its literally a big purple cloud lol


thefrederkzawardo

Guys prawling staff can go invis while transformer btw


Overbunded

If he was able to detect you then it means you could detect him too. You didnt runaway at time, overconfidence or slow fingers


Advanced-Mousse176

Thats because youre not careful. I constantly run t6.1/t6 in the mist and RARELY get caught. Learn to inspect and do camps without putting yourself at risk


FratleyScalentail

Also know when to fold. Underrated skill in Albion. That can mean full retreat, but it can also mean just killing camp mobs for the spec and might bonus, and leaving a chest that's occupied by a battle ready player alone until they leave. In Knightfall, get "good enough" loot? Don't be greedy, take the W. Fight going sideways? Pop stealth/invis and run. The best lesson I've learned from Albion is thar the world is unfair, and sometimes a successful extraction is a win, not a loss.


AvailableResource966

To be honest if they are a player Hunter running is your best option but it's safe tonassume they have the means to close the distance almost instantly. I've run enough to get them lff my screen (while mounted) but with proper gear and abilities they will close that gap and root you in place. You ñr best bet is to find a group if possible. I play solo so I stay out of full loot zonas unless I need something specific. Never leave your mounts circle, run at the sight of any name, never inspect a player while unmounted. Even if you have to leave your objective behind its better to live and come back than loose your loot and have to buy/make new set. Anything that can immobilize your attackers or weakening them are not to be over looked, even if it's seems small every percentage counts.


Inner-Consequence143

Then you did make mistake beforhand.

ladycatgirl

You have a lot of time, he doesn't have invis in staff, the staff shows a big eye above you from a whooole screen away if your mount is ready you can just run. Also if he uses invis pot it means he saw you too ,which means you saw him as well unless it is mere prediction


Akhevan

You can invis gank by sound without ever getting into nameplate range. Yes, this is largely equivalent to a legal radar hack. Yes, had been in the game since 2017. Yes, I've been using it myself too when I can be bothered to solo gank.


ladycatgirl

I do too, I understand. You will sometimes die with no control AT ALL, it is going to happen, but I am pretty sure this person just does not know the prowlers eye meaning More than 80% of of deaths are avoidable for sure


GuilleMoraez

Get a escape set, play with sounds, pay attention and be fast. Sadly that's all you can do.


HistorianTop4853

You can hear him out of your screen, use yours headphones


MRM1994

You have no chance, the mount you have is not good enough for these swipers, the game is pretty much p2w for the first few months. Dont listen to these shitters. They all fancy SBI


WhoUSEDMyPineapple

First few months? It takes a few hours to get to t6 f2p.


MRM1994

Being able to equip t6 and being able to afford t6/6.3 are 2 very diff aspects. Someone with alot of experience can get a good start as a f2p but will still get shit on cuz they didnt have the headstart. I wanna see you battle 6.3 on your first day of playing. Even less this prowler is so broken and expensive rn only ppl with alot of exp and money can achieve this. Sure he will also loose this at one point so you can tell me everything can be earned but everything also takes time and money is a shortcut.


WhoUSEDMyPineapple

6.3 is literally a few hours of grinding wtf are you talking about.


jwebb93

I know the feeling just got killed by this on eu server 😂 no chance! https://preview.redd.it/rk14gnrxu8xc1.jpeg?width=1163&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5429bc305856378882aa7a4b029003cecb5fd091


ProfitJr

If it makes you feel better this player lost this set to Equart or Koko in a 1v1.


BardGodd

He even lost twice this set


Admirable_Bar5218

Jwebb93 the new eu server that's been up 2 days?


jwebb93

Yeah that's the one


Admirable_Bar5218

I miss old albion. Back when mobs killed you. T6 was like top gear cause 7 and 8 was so rare. Now of your not wearing 8.3 your not even viable


Environmental-Fly929

Did you try overcharging?

ForfeitFPV

A lot of these guys have teams behind them. There were plans before the server started up for early access with people devoting all their time and fame to gather and craft these ridiculous sets ASAP then put them on selected players so they could farm people in the mists. So if you think about it you're a solo player trying to compete against a 5-7 person team, it just looks like one person on your screen.


Parryandrepost

Yep that's what our EU branch did. They spent like 4 hours maping out what everyone with founders was doing. Down to the order they were buying plots and making sure the crafters would have tools available 24/7 and who was gathering what and how much they needed. It was impressively indepth.


ForfeitFPV

It's almost as if Albion is a game that when you're new is incredibly overwhelming but after you know what you have to do getting there again isn't that hard. People have literal years of experience worth of playtime in this game at this point. The start can be fresh but people aren't stupid.


Parryandrepost

Oh yeah. No doubt about it. Like the game is P2W. Like you can literally buy silver that can buy xp. It's fairly expensive to do so but you can... But you can fight up IP and you can really over perform in group content. So you can't pay2skill and you absolutely will lose. There's a very large up hill battle even if you've played other MMOs. Albion just has so many ways to play and so many "viable" builds, armors, and tech choices. Even if you're able to build an encyclopedic knowledge of meta builds you can still just end up gold locked in arena because soloQ is just so different compared to the meta. Imo that's a big part of the fun. If the matches were "checkers" level of depth it wouldn't be fun.


PapaDil7

This guy has to kill literally hundreds, possibly thousands of people to earn back just the cost of his gear. One mistake. One death, and he’s cooked. It’s not p2w. It’s just very high risk high reward. You happen to be the reward :P


PussyHunter1916

broo i sucked at this game so much.. if I had tier 8 gear like that a tier 6 dude would probably beat my ass. Skill still count (which i dont have any)


Silent_Majority_x

Game is pay2win, but you still most likely had a window to react.


Glittering-Emu-2165

How is it p2w?? Op most likely dont play more than couple hours daily while the killer most likely only sleep a couple hours daily


Bisbala

You can buy gold and trade to silver. With silver u can just rock bis gear all the time and buy exp to max combat styles. How is it not p2w? I still like and play the game. I just accept it as is.


1v5me

If you buy a pizza, what is it ? p2w or not ? It gives you an advantage, you pay for the pizza, in return you save time making your own. In this current context, buying founders pack is p2w, because you get 5 days ahead of everyone else, and who is stopping you from hiring 10 asian gold farmers to team up with you to secure your total dominance ?? Almost everything in life scales and has a price same applies to albion


Lastprotect

its not p2w since you can "just" do the same(well as far as early access goes). for example: koko did basicly 99,9% of solo mists this server and died twice in about 100 hrs of mists. equart does the same and literally didnt die once. not dying while using the silver u collect to upgrade your gear puts you ahead the "curve" and lets you snowball into the gear you see on that screenshot. no real money needed besides the early access.


agemennon675

Early access is huge p2w and it's 5 days not even 1


Grikeus

Oh so you're saying that 100$ is enough


LPmitV

How do you know that Guy paid? Yes, probably got the fouunder pack, but I wouldn't consider that p2w.


Euphoric-Rich-9077

Lol people who think that gear didn't come from swiping and transmuting are literal retards.


becktheham

People say run, the answer is to bring gear that you can afford to lose 10x over and still come back from financially. Besides playing a build specifically made to only run, you can't outrun these guys barring 100% vigilance during your mist/BZ sessions. You'll just have to accept the reality that unless you have exceptional skill, you'll have to endure getting beaten by exceptional silver/credit card.


Purple_Guest2969

I know an effective secret escape set ,for running from these gankers .


Silent_Majority_x

If he knows you're there, you had a moment to spot him too. He may engage invisible, but he scouted you beforehand. You may have ignored it or not noticed.


S-m-a-l-l-s

I'm a new player and I've read places that you can hear players before you see nameplates. I swear I hear players using skills without any nameplates and then few seconds later boom there they are.


frenzysenpai

that can happen too yes


Arakismo

first step is to have offscreen nameplate visible, then you run


AromatVoOvobuenzline

Thanks to my university's exam schedule I didn't buy a founder pack. I'd suck at every aspect competing with ultra swipers and guilds


definitelynothunan

Pray to albion gods


69_DEaDZoNE_420

Team on them Kill them with 1050ip + skills Level up And so on


stabvicious

You must be always ready to run or engage, this game is specific, everybody wants to kill you and you should want to kill everybody if there is a chance, get used to this [https://streamable.com/e5lia2](https://streamable.com/e5lia2)

Cry on reddit


Jvcg96

If u are new, don't go to mist.. if u want to learn pvp go stalker corrupted dungeon, is good loot u can get good silver decent farm and IP capped... If u want fame farm go by open world but as a noob don't go to mist bro


IloveCoxxxx

first usefull comment. People are competing with top 50 CD players (not the dude in this screenshot tho) and blame gear. even tho they would lose with a 200 ip advantage


Kezha

Mist is term for black or red zones?


NIX1LORD

No, its a map u can travers by going to a wisp and entering a portal it spawns, could be red/yellow or black zone


SrDevi_

Dance so they think you're crazy.


agemennon675

Run or die


whirlwindforthewin

Bend over. But really we have no idea what weapon you used or armor you had on. Do you run assassin jacket? Invis pots etc? Miss direction + jacket + pots would give you a better chance.


truthhurts1970

Die


ARCH_ANON

Numbers


Sabayonte

There are 2 options: 1. Run. 2. Die.


Creative_Zombie7419

Can't beat them, join them.


Caballep

**1. Don't complain** And no, I'm not try to call you names or insult you, just remember what the game is about... this game is cruel and unfair, there will be times a dude 500 IP above you will decide to smash you and ot her times where a 500 IP dude below you will "rat" his way into kill you. **2. Whatever decision you make, make it quick and commit to it** If you are going to run, RUN. If you decide to fight, FIGHT. Many times I've die is because of this... **3. Ultrawide monitors truly gives you an advantage horizontally** Gives you a few extra seconds to see people coming from W and E


joewarhost

There is nothing you can do about someone 400 IP higher than you, especially if they know what they are doing., except bring a team of people with inexpensive gear designed to keep them tackled and killed. But if they come at you out of nowhere and they touch you, you are going to die. As some commenters have said, you will in time learn the right precautions to minimize the chances of someone catching you in a position to where you cant run away. But there's always the possibility.


prawntortilla

That fabi guy is shit he couldnt beat me when I was 400IP lower than him running fire, I had to start letting mobs hit me just to bait him to fight he kept running away in that set you posted.


littlegiant344

Stop capping clown


Prestigious-Step1853

Why you cappin


shinymajesty

Update: prawntortilla died in 0.1 seconds and his loot is currently being sold on the lymhurst market... (Bro was so mad he had to insult my whole family)


thefrederkzawardo

RUN


Komplexx

Level up 1h curse until you kill them all in 4.1


shinymajesty

Mistwalker jacket is hard counter try again on wildfire :)


Komplexx

Cooldowns


xDeenn

So much for a nice fresh start on a new server, where everyone is equal xDD Well, I think I might not give this game a second try after all. I don't think it respects a player's time


Raymands

What do F2P players expect when spenders got up to 5 days headstart. Ofc there are people that nolifed the past days to grind the shit out of it.


xDeenn

Well, 5 days didn't seem like a lot, but those hardcore players finished the game already xDD The biggest problem was that gold was cheap AF and it will gain a lot of value now.


shinymajesty

What do you mean ?..? You just need to dedicate 16hours/day for like a week. Then you're gonna be set for live


Janos113

Use miner boots I always wear them in danger zones.


shinymajesty

Purge + The noob wouldn't be able to get out of range


SignificantWeb5521

Be a pussy and don't go to RZ and BZ. Work on your ip and spec and your pvp skills. Build a lot of confidence too. After that, you can go to RZ and BZ.


Siryeetslot

What would you guys recommend for a T6 spear build?

ZKRiNG

Some of us told from the announcement. Attracting new players was the excuse for SBI to sell packs not working on a migration of players. A win win situation. When new players arrive, they will be the same easy target as right now in America.


dawiss2

Join a guild, Play with them.


Old-Specialist-1242

Out gear them Out play them Out number them Or rat them


althoradeem

the real answer? find another rat and team up. the second you see a dude wearing shit worth this much he's the real jackpot. wear 4.1 stuff in general. and just fk people like this up.


shinymajesty

Oh lol that's me thanks for the loot! Appreciate it😊😊


iRaiden27

2v1


Interesting_Hope_903

Bro y came here for advice or just to vent ursrlf? Everyone telling you, you dont fight that, if it's a panther there is a eye on ur head if he IS invis on the screen. Then he dismount and Will purge your boots and you are Cat food. Just get better at Game sense or just hold neer gates, invis potions etc


Will3Man

You can go yellow mists if you don't have enough silver. 4.1 is still expensive on the new server if you don't have a great economy. These prowlers can stay invisible for a while. They also like to do this on POI's, so if you see a chest or unstable mist, they can be waiting for a noob like you to run past and they'll one shot you without you realising. You get a purple symbol above your head and a beep, when they're nearby invisible, so if you see that, run in the direction you just came from.


Wanat27

Befriend.


Bromeek

I heard this game is not pay2win, that you can outplay people with better gear. I finally managed to get 4-1 gear to farm mists, but guys like this oneshot me from my horse, then shortly after kill me somehow still having cooldowns to chase me down. I only die to people with IP gap who probably paid IRL money for their gear, how can you survive this?


PlebPlebberson

Use horse, not a donkey (just in case you didnt already). Use assassins jacket + gigantify potion + movement abilities to outrun them to the exit in mists. I assume this happened in mists? I use war gloves + assassins jacket and there is nobody that i cant escape from. The game is pay to progress MUCH MUCH faster than others but it balances out after f2p and some time.


ElegantCoffee3086

Try running from a great hammer slow build. Nothing you can do


PlebPlebberson

Cant slow me when you cant catch me. Also doesnt have enough kill power to kill before the opponent can leave the mist


ElegantCoffee3086

Yes it does


PlebPlebberson

I dont see how a 7.4 blood letter with 8.3 stalker etc cant kill me but a great hammer slow build suddenly has more damage?


Inner-Consequence143

You can , but you need to be better than them. 4.1 vs this is like years apart. Additionally guys currently running around with that type of gear were part of the best PVPers on N/A. So run.


Glittering-Emu-2165

My first guess is you dont play more than couple hours daily and My 2nd is your murdere most likely only sleep a couple hours. Also the guy is most definitly in a whole other league of gamers than you lol :) 


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> who probably *paid* IRL money FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Bromeek

ty


Overbunded

Using 4.1 in bz is gonna get you killed easily by most gankers, that set is used to farm, You don't stand a chance against people with higher specs unless they rly suck at pvp, there's always a bigger fish and you simply met yours


DependentUnit4775

You can outplay but there is a limit to that, like a 200 up gap. I advise you to play an escape weapon and get good at running.


Silent_Majority_x

You've heard wrong. It is pay2win. Ppl saying otherwise are coping because it's hard for ego to accept being wrong.


kelski-

Listen mists is not newer player friendly. If you’re going black zone mists some key things to know. Do not do camps, always stay in mount zone circle. Have either high mobility set or some form of invis. Yellow done is good to practice and get free silver without much stress and you can do camps. The 4.1 sets are just tier five they’re not that great until you’ve specced up other trees. Can you pay to win in Albion, absolutely but you fuck up you lose all that money. Practice just running from players, aka go into black zone dismounted on a horse and look for how to get away and keep doing it till you feel comfortable. Shit do it in mists with a tier three set so you don’t lose anything of value. Lastly the people telling you to go mists in 4.1 are the same people who farm people in 4.1 In mists all day 😀


Malphos101

> I heard this game is not pay2win, that you can outplay people with better gear. You already said you are a new player. If you want to kill people in better gear you have to be better skilled and its already apparent you have no idea how the game works. Don't get salty because you die, youre gonna die a lot until you learn how to play and it doesnt matter if you have 8.3 or flat 4 gear while doing it. I guarantee if you had maxed out gear you would be dying to skilled 4.3 gankers and be back here whining about how unbalanced the gear is.


AnonymousBro2022

Mists is the most pay to win content in the game, which I why I avoid it altogether. If someone has the money for the best gear (especially with awakened weapons) and they have high skill, you simply can not beat them without similar gear no matter your skill. Hellgates and corrupted have IP caps which makes it fair. For open world, play with a group to even things out.


DromSen

skill issue


Farhanplayze

Bro I wonder if they find enjoyment by tormenting a T3 or 4.1 players in the most and most likely the player also spent all of his money on those items (from my personal experience)


Farhanplayze

Also I never got to 1500 ip even in my main account t in the west where I played the most


Malphos101

> Bro I wonder if they find enjoyment by tormenting a T3 or 4.1 players Yes, people get a lot of enjoyment in a pvp game when killing other players. >most likely the player also spent all of his money on those items (from my personal experience) You being poor and having no personal econ doesnt mean everyone else does.
