Tomb Raider is currently in the driest spell the series has ever endured since it launched in the '90s, while Blue Protocol was widely expected to be available by now and still has a vague 2024 release date, and Crucible, as mentioned, was released to a poor reception, shoved back into beta, then killed altogether. So it might have eyes on a broader roster, but aside from The Grand Tour Game, MMOs are all Amazon has right now. What has Amazon learned from Lost Ark and New World that it is channelling into Throne & Liberty? That's a topic it's remaining curiously tight-lipped ab
"Everything about Throne & Liberty, from day one, was built with, I would say, the right word is 'massive'," Lafuente says. "Massive scale, everything about it, the world, the buildings, everything. And the tech being built is going to allow things like the castle sieges that have thousands of players participating in a castle siege. That's not an exaggeration, that's already something that has been seen in the Korean life service is thousands of players participating in this castle siege. That's probably the biggest event that we have. And then there'll be other things that have hundreds of players, going down even to guild vs guild battles, which will be more along the 50 v 50, 60. v 60 type of range. Scale is a big part of what we expect in Throne & Liberty, particularly when it comes to PvP battl
The first thing most players will notice about Throne and Liberty ** is its gorgeous environments** . Beautifully rendered with a great deal of detail and color, it’s easy to get lost in a vista of rolling hills or craggy cliffs, or get lost down the cobblestone streets and dirt roads of its bustling towns. This carefully detailed, immersive atmosphere is aided by good, occasionally great music, with much of the game scored by lilting flute melodies that complement and elevate the visu
"Running games at this size and scale is very difficult, mostly because of the games as a service and the operational components" Lafuente says. "And I think we're setting ourselves up for success by starting with these more challenging titles, and then creating an infrastructure and a framework to support any of the other games we bring to mark
Upgrading weapons and armor in Throne and Liberty works a little differently in comparison to MMOs you may be used to. This guide will cover where to navigate to Equipment Enchanting Icon , the items you will need to consume in the upgrade process, and the mechanics and quirks of the system over
The Dagger specializes in bleed status effects by delivering rapid consecutive strikes in close-quarters combat while allowing you to close the gap between you and the enemy. If you wield this weapon, you can execute quick, lethal attacks on enemies before they get a chance to re
When transferring gear, the old item's gained experience will be applied to the new item. You can transfer an item to another item of the same rarity and you will keep the level (as mentioned above); but you can also transfer a lower-quality item into a higher-quality it
As for the game itself, one of the things that most interested me was the class system. Rather than a standard build of 'Rogue' or 'Warrior' or 'Mage', every character dual wields. You can choose to make this consistent (my preview character was an all magic build of Wand and Staff), or mix and match, pairing Dagger with Staff, Crossbow with Greatsword, Sword and Shield with Longbow, or any combination thereof. This makes playing the game more varied, and offers greater flexibility when approaching dungeons. As far as Amazon and NCSoft are concerned, it might be their ace in the h
This is a powerful DPS weapon that relies heavily on mana for casting spells. The staff focuses on dealing damage through elemental effects like fire, water, and ice. It is effective at clearing large groups of enemies in the same place, and is a heavy attack weapon giving you bigger bursts. Take advantage of applying and exploiting elemental debuffs to maximize its damage out
The game features an impressive attention to detail , even in its weapons. You can equip two weapons at once, with one as your primary weapon and the other as your secondary, providing passive bonuses or additional abilities. Each weapon comes with one defensive ability and eight slots of passives to choose from. Here are the best weapons you can use to conquer your journey in the g
Excellent presentation aside, throne And Liberty character customization and Liberty ** suffers from a mostly generic story** . It’s a perfectly suitable fantasy framework to hang a game on, but little more, mostly centered on a group of chosen ones (the player characters) and a war against those who would exploit their powers. It occasionally introduces some interesting concepts, like the main character’s ability to travel through time and visit pivotal events in the world's history. But those rarely amount to anything more interesting than they appear on the surface. Unfortunately, that sort of thing is a trend for Throne and Liber
