Throne and Liberty

Throne and Liberty is the great surprise I reallly [b]really[/b] wasn't expecting. I completely disregarded this game for 2 years because of the F2P/P2W Korean aspect, until recently when I randomly saw some content on Youtube that got my attention. I realized that the game was of much better quality than I thought (visuals, gameplay, UI, world, etc), so I watched a bit more content about the state of the game and realized that the game might actually be good for me and since it's free to try I decided to jump in. The [b]P2W[/b] issue is really a problem once you reach the very endgame in PvE or if you are here for the PvP. Fortunately for me, I don't care much for PvP and I never really commit to MMO endgames because I don't have thousands of hours to sink. And regarding the daily gated content, I think it's only an issue for huge no-life that want to play 8 hours a day. The [b]leveling experience[/b] in the current state of the game is really good, it's even the best I have had in a MMO and I played a dozen in the last 20 years. There is lots of things to do without being to messy or becoming a chore and the content is very diverse. The rhythm is good. The quests are relatively interesting and even the side quests are well integrated. The world is really well built, beautiful and interesting. And the gameplay hit that perfect spot between tab target and action that makes it tactical enough without becoming too boring. The [b]UI and menu[/b] is really the selling point for me. Usually games from Asian developers turn me off because of the awful UI and menus but TnL is doing an amazing job making the many systems not too daunting. The UI is clean and good looking and the menus make it easy to track your progress and decide what to do next. The [b]voice acting[/b] is probably the weakest point when leveling. Not only many side characters have terrible VA that often don't match the character at all but VA sound often breaks. It's not a huge deal though. [b]Visually[/b] The game is super impressive, many solo games wish they looked that good and run that smoothly, and for a MMO it is by far the best looking I have seen. And for a Korean game I love that they kept a "grounded" vibe. Overall the game offers at least a good 150 hours of great time for free or close to. The grind level and overall difficulty is good (as far as I went). The MMO community really are the most hypocritical, entitled, crybabies. They will whine about WoW all year long but dismiss anything that isn't the big 3 because they don't have 1.000 hours of free content. Of course I would have love for the game to have a better business model, maybe it would have changed this game from being "a good 100 hours" to "one of the best game of my life, one I would spend hundred of hours in", but it is what it is and the game is still extremely high quality.

One of the better games of the genre, well personally think its the best after black desert with the major difference being combat style. Black desert had hack and slash type style combat where this game is built on classic game style like lineage. I couldn't get into black desert even though it was quite similar and possibly better in some aspects like marketplace and economy. What I like about this game: -No super edgy content. From mob design being modest and down to earth, to characters and races. - Live events are constant, meaning you are not forced to be online to not miss the event - Quality quests that make sense or atleast explained why you run back and forth few times - Story is actually good, if you care not to skip through it - Most quests are voiced, by most I mean there are still few that are missing but its a lot better than any other mmo I tried - Great world design, a lot of work was put into it. - You can play 2 classes with 1 character, you have 2 wepon choices - Lots of customization for class skillls, class level skills, wepon skills and extra traits on top of your classic weapon and armor stats. Some things that not necessarily a bad just different: - Marketplace is locked to only high grade items, meaning you cannot sell anything that is not market graded. Crafting items has low chance of being high grade. Similarly with dropped items. Meaning marketplace is off limits for majority of the game. Not a bad thing, just makes the game feel more of a co-op or single player regardless of world being populated. - You need to know a lot to pvp, need to have most of your abilities maxed out correctly because everybody else feels like use optimal settings. Hard to find low skill players like yourself. Gear is standardized I believe once entering the pvp zone, so its mostly skill knowledge I believe. - Marketplace does not allow listing of premium items, meaning most sales are done via shop. Shop has rotating mechanic rather than being list based. You can sell basic items for premium currency, but you can only buy premium items from shop for the company base price. Would only guess to combat botting and or account sales. Optimization could be a little better. You get wide fps swings for no reason seemingly and small stutters. I am running on 8+ year old mid-high tier system.

el juego fue bueno pero desde el inicio tuvo un mal sistema de loot trade y comercio la T1 y T2 fueron sus mejores epocas luego se volvio repetitivo y a pesar de los cambios a perdido mucha gente

love this game

I remember when this game used to be great

Beautiful graphics. Ran smooth and without issues with all setting on Epic. Normally, I would love a game this detailed with an interesting storyline. But. Yes, there is a but coming. They offer two different combat styles. Both are utter garbage. They have too much going on at the same time too quick. Morph, run, jump to morph into a bird and if you fly wrong, you die and respawn again in the tutorial as tutorials are wont to do. Flashy flash fights in the combat zinging around and screaming monsters and non-stop yapping companions are fun how? Constant spamming of cliche melodramatic fight details and a narrator that won't shut their mouth so you can get a good look at the combat styles and how they work together. The tutorial is on rails that simply won't pause or stop. Bad. Very bad. The tutorial should go at MY pace, not at the pace they want to gush-rush you through. Plus the cable and grappling hook was old in Zelda, the Ocarina of Time decades ago, I don't care to relive that old travel mechanic. It's not fun or exciting. It's another button click for another speedy scene relocation that ADHD kids thrive on. Mouse targeting controls or tab targeting or whatever they call it is terrible in the mechanics. I played it for an hour, and every three to five minutes I get spammed with the same info screen. "Tutorial Complete" and hurry onto the next one right now zip there and fight now and dodge now and listen to what the little yarn made witch doll says as she is flying around. Sorry. Yarn witch dolls that float around with anime graphical eyes and all cute and cuddly garbage isn't my cup of tea. I'm looking for adventure, exploration and a good area to hobnob around in, not a screen that whizzes by so fast that I can't take a moment to get a look at the view with the yarn witch doll bobbing about. I'm not a little kid with ADHD, who this is seemingly targeted at. I am happy this is free to play. I would have been pissed had I paid even 1 penny for it. Uninstalling, as I don't need Ritalin or any other ADHD medication to play this game with some measure of enjoyment. I don't mind fast paced combat, but everything was on fast forward, hurry hurry slash hurry hurry grapple hook and hurry don't take a breath or slow down as the NPCs will verbally egg you on non-stop. Yuck. I want to have fun, not do a speed run game. If I need a place that says "Faster, quicker, harder, faster" I'll go back to work as a production engineer and work the non-stop conveyor line that goes by so fast, the text and numbers are constantly blurred. I stopped during the first big Boss fight where the axe falls from the sky and spawns the giant fighter that roars and yaps at you constantly, like some murderous chat AI who can't shut his mouth while fighting. I'm not going back into such a stupid thing where cutscenes are needing a rapid press of the ESC key just to get to a point where I can stand still without being the center of all attention from three different complaining NPCs. And that yarn witch doll with the anime tears coming out of the anima X eyes because I stubbed my toe. No. Put cute yarn anime dolls in kids game. I'm a grown gamer. Next Please!

Looks and plays like some generic mobile game. Unble to turn off xertain setting like frame gen or motion blur

If they would have allowed you to switch from auto attacking to regular attacking while using a controller it would have been fun. I hate hold to attack and playing with K&M. Kinda makes no sense why only allow that setting on PC with K&M

I wanna like this game but early on it just doesnt feel like an MMO it feels like a single player story. I know from videos that late game introduces a lot of co-op functions and large scale pvp but you gotta work your way up to that and tbh that's kinda bs I want to play with other people with in the first 20 levels of an MMO there should be low level dungeons and maybe 5v5 pvp or something for us to do with other people I've played off and on for maybe 3 days now and I've interacted with 0 people. Not to mention I think the chat function for global to talk with people is behind a higher level so again im stuck playing solo till I "earn" my right to treat it like an actual mmo. It's a decent game but wish it worked on that.
