"There's definitely a quality bar that we strive for in the titles that we're bringing to market," Lafuente tells me. "And it just so happens that we have MMOs right now, but our portfolio intends to be broad over the next couple of years. Maybe you've heard the news about the Tomb Raider game. It's not just MMOs that we're bringing to market. It does happen to be the focus of the moment, but we have broad ambitio
The Greatsword is a powerful melee weapon known for its exceptional damage output in close-quarters combat. Its sweeping attacks are ideal for crowd control and clearing groups of enemies because it provides a higher AOE attack. While using the greatsword, you should focus on dealing maximum damage while managing your stamina effectiv
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
However, Throne & Liberty is not really a new game coming out. Though Summer Game Fest was the first time it could be played in the West, the game has been out in Korea since 2023, and maybe some more concrete lessons have been learned there. Amazon is keen to stress that while the West is getting the game later, it's not getting a different game, but the same as the Korean one, made with a "global audience in mi
This is a game that’s definitely best enjoyed with friends, and eventually as part of a guild. Late game activities revolve around guild-to-guild combat and PvE co-operative dungeons. You can tackle these as a solo player - while leveling, progression, and so on can all be achieved solo - but you’ll miss out on a lot of what Throne and Liberty has to offer. Of course, this is all based on footage that I’ve seen from South Korean servers, as I wasn’t able to try these during the pre-release review win
This means each time you spend Growthstones and Sollant to upgrade an item, your item will get closer to the next level, but not necessarily achieve a full level . If you're lucky, there is a ten percent chance to grow a full 80 percent of the item's upgrade
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
Players still need to grind out those items for them to appear on the auction house. Once purchased, they are not max level, which means players will still need to grind for upgrades. There’s a shadow of pay-to-win here, but it’s deeply convoluted and it won’t be common for players to be splashing cash on the best gear. You can also earn Lucent by selling your own gear. If you’re a hardcore player, you could generate enough Lucent to keep buying things from the Auction House whenever you want - no wallet requi
As far as unique ideas go, Throne and Liberty ** ’s main claim to fame is its addition of real-time attack counters to typical MMO combat** . Occasionally, in battle, a pair of concentric purple circles appear around an enemy in what's called a Fury Attack. The larger one begins to close on the smaller one, and as long as the player presses the correct button by the time they align, they’ll enter a defensive posture for a few seconds. In this posture, they’ll deflect any attacks that come their way. Parrying one of these Fury Attacks with perfect timing usually bestows an additional buff, which is weapon-speci
Depending on the rarity level of your item, it will require different rarities of Growthstones. Here are all the Growthstones and which corresponding rarities they are used for. We have included the "Weapon" style growthstones, but the same goes for each item t
At the end of the day, Throne and Liberty ** is a pretty new game** . It has its flaws, sure, but there's still plenty of time for it to resolve its issues with progression with more mechanically complex classes, to add new morphs that actually make a difference in gameplay, or to renew its focus on the thrilling
Already out in South Korea, **Throne and Liberty weapons and Liberty was released in the US, Europe, and Japan on October 1 ** . However, I was able to check out the single-player campaign a little early, and play through the early access period prior to lau
Each rarity of item will max out at a certain point and no longer be upgraded . When items hit this point, they can then be sacrificed (transferred) to enhance a new item you have of the next tier / rarity. You can also transfer gear even if it hasn't hit the maximum enchanted level. When you transfer a gear piece to another item, the original item will be destroy
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
