"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
Already out in South Korea, **Throne 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
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
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
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 it stands, I can’t comment on how skills evolve over time and how they impact the way your character plays. Skill Specialization, a new feature that is a key part of the skills overhaul, will arrive at launch. The idea is to provide a lot more customization and the opportunity for players to unlock all skills right at the start of the game, so that they can begin trying out different set-
"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 and Liberty tips & Liberty, particularly when it comes to PvP battl
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
Throne And Liberty is a modern MMO with a focus on social gameplay. Set in the world of Solisium, you are tasked with finding the Star of Sylaveth in order to defeat the world’s great existential threat, Kazar the Wraith of Conquest. It’s a fairly generic story and Throne And Liberty does nothing here to reinvent the wheel. What it does well though is capture that classic MMO feel
The above chart can be seen in-game when hovering over the '?' beside the Equipment Upgrade Rate . This means you have a 40 percent chance to gain 25 percent of the item's exp growth bar, a 30 percent chance to gain 30 percent of the growth bar, and so
Throne and Liberty is an online role-playing game set in the vast open world of Solisium. The game features a dynamic world system where you can play solo online or team up with your friends in a guild setting . You engage in real-time battles against players and monstrous creatures. The game’s combat system presents you with a variety of weapons and unique classes that you can customize to your lik
"The dual weapon system is what determines what your abilities are," Lafuente tells me. "I think you can have more unique opportunities to build these crazy classes, potentially, where someone is carrying both a sword and a staff. And that gives them access to magic abilities, and the 'I'm going to swing my big sword at you' abilities, so you see some pretty unique types of builds that are created by players. And so what I think is most important is that players can experience more than one play sty
