Much like the time travel concepts introduced in the story, real-time defense and animal morphing are unique ideas, but they don’t go as far as they could. There’s a possibility for them to be expanded on in future expansions or updates, but in their current form, **they fail to make Throne and Liberty as interesting as they could
The story from the beginning had me wondering “who am I supposed to be here?”, “what happened to that person?” and many thoughts of “ok this person seems to be up to something sinister”. These thoughts alone are much more than I’ve ever really cared about stories in past MMOs, so I’ll give NCSoft that. The voice over and many cinematics were a great touch to help keep me intrigued and interested in what was happening, rather than reading long quest logs and subtitles.
In Throne and Liberty raids And Liberty , combat strategy and the weapons you equip play a major role in your overall success. While there aren’t exactly classes in this MMORPG, there are weapons that almost act as classes coming with their own unique skills and enhancements.
“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
In our preview, there were eight of us in a dungeon taking on a handful of enemies at once, culminating in a final battle against one giant boss. But this is not the typical Throne & Liberty experience, and even the example tossed out of 200 versus 200 is, I’m told, more on the “low side”. So what is the standard Throne & Liberty experie

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

“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
Each skill can be boosted for a cost. This cost comes in the form of Skill Specialization Points that you earn as you level up. You can expend these points on various enhancements or “specialization effects” for a given skill. Each enhancement comes with a specific cost. So, choose wisely.
