Throne And Liberty Review - Amazon’s Redemption

"I have a long history with Korean MMOs," Lee Kwai tells me. "There are certain expectations around classes based on that legacy. It's important to strike a delicate balance. But when you're fighting one v one, or one v six, or 50 versus 50, or 200 versus 200, the abilities are used in many different ways and the strategies of combat change drastically. And one thing that mage classes are known for is area attacks, so during combat like sieges or massive battles there's usually strategies that arise based on how to coordinate magic attacks, and that's where they really get a lot of that reputati


I think in part I’m hopeful because of NCSoft’s heritage of MMOs, including Lineage 2, a game that I devoted many hours to when I was first discovering PC games. Throne And Liberty feels like a natural successor to those classic MMOs of old - with some modern trappi

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


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

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


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

Questing is very traditional - go here, kill this, move to another area, and continue. Each area has several unique quests and items to find that completionists will adore, although if you’re a player like me you’ll probably just burst through these to continue leveling as fast as possible. As you progress you can mix and match classes and weapons and find the one that suits you best, which is flexible in a way that MMOs often struggle to


Some of the leveling up in Throne and Liberty is done through experience points and increasing stats, but a lot of it is also done by crafting upgrades. You rack up a ton of crafting materials just by playing through the campaign - different materials are used for upgrading weapons, equipment, accessories, and skills. I rarely found myself having to scramble for the necessary materials to reach the next level, but did quickly discover that you really need to spend all the crafting materials you get in order to stay competiti


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-


Throne and Liberty is part generic fantasy and part weird and wonderful. During the prologue you fight walking trees, transform into a panther (and an eagle), and then it's out into the open world to start slaying goblins, wolves, sentient scarecrows, the whole

Once you have upgraded your item to a certain level, you can no longer upgrade it further. For example, if you have an Uncommon (Green) headpiece, you can only level it up to level six . Level six is then the maximum upgrade level for that i


Upgrading weapons and armor in Throne And Liberty Beginner Guide 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


Throne and Liberty ** ’s gameplay is pretty typical of the genre.** There are seven character classes, each of which is based around a particular weapon type: greatsword, sword and shield, daggers, crossbows, longbow, wand, and staff. Each is also associated with an auto-attack and a defensive skill, as well as a glut of active and passive abilities that make up the bulk of combat. These may be AoEs, push attacks, damage mitigation, or anything else. You can have two different weapons equipped at any given time - generally one melee and one ranged - and swap between them with the press of a but
