Sandbox Interactive will rework the Hellgates (zones designed for PvP battles) in Albion Online. The new goals are to be implemented with the next content update (Hector). A new map layout, three different types of hell gates and various improvements to the underlying game mechanics are provided.
“Sandbox Interactive wants the fights within the hell gates to be more fair, and so far, for example, groups of players have been able to completely avoid the encounter with another group or wait for their opponents at the entrance, as well as to keep monsters in the PvP battles. And thus have an additional burden on their opponents. These weaknesses are due to the mechanics of the game and can not be remedied with small patches, so Sandbox Interactive has therefore decided to rework the basic gates.”
New HellGate Map
“The Hellgate map has been completely redesigned and now has the shape of a pentagram. The corners of the pentagram are connected by a circular path, and each corner represents a potential entrance portal to the Hellgate But it is now impossible to know where the generic group appears, and groups that enter the hell gate are a protective bubble, for a certain period of time they can not get the gate through the entrance The PvE is now reduced, and the players do not have to worry about the fact that the monsters that are attracted will decide the outcome of PvP battles, but there is now a new PvE combat with miniboss opponents, But they are not moving into the PvP Fighting. Nevertheless, the fight against the minibosses is worthwhile as they drop attractive prey. When all minibosses are shot, the entrances to the Hellgate are sealed and the appearance of the main boss is triggered with a time delay.”
Different Hellgates
Ashen Hellgate: These Hellgates are intended for beginners from two players who have no experience with PvP battles. The portals are therefore also located in the green zones of Albion.
Ignited Hellgate: This variation of Hellgates offers an exercise scenario for all players who already have a little experience but are not quite ready for full PvP encounters. They were designed specifically for groups of five players and contain weaker PvE opponents and further relief compared to Infernal Hellgate. The accesses to the blazing Hellgates are to be found in yellow zones.
Infernal Hellgate: The Infernal Hellgates are only accessible through portals in red and black areas and represent the unrestricted version of the Hellgate. There, the players face PvP battles with merciless rules, but can also rob the most valuable rewards.
