✣CONFIRMED OR LIKELY CONFIRMED THRONE AND LIBERTY INFORMATION✣

HISTORY OF THRONE AND LIBERTY

Originally a top-down Lineage sequel called Lineage Eternal. Lineage Eternal was first announced on November 2011. Eventually, they shifted to a 3rd-person game and decided to change to a new IP. With the pivot from top-down and a Lineage sequel this makes the development of Throne and Liberty over 10 years There is also another new project in development that shares the same IP/world Map called Project E.  See the Map section below. Lineage Eternal had a CBT in 2016 surprising everyone that the game shifted in design (it was some sort of MxM) far from what it was previously announced in 2011, which received a lot of negative feedback and they went back to the whiteboard after a few years they renamed it Project TL with the trailer that looked very Lost Ark-ish, now the title changed to Throne & Liberty.

GAME ENGINE

Unreal Engine 4.  It is possible they have upgraded to UE5 but I don’t have confirmation of that. (Source)

SERVER CAPACITY

3000 to 5000 per server (Source)

RELEASE DATE

1st half of 2023 (Source)

Western Publisher

Amazon (Source)

PLATFORMS

PC and Console with Mobile play via the NC Purple App streaming PC to Mobile (Source)

MONETIZATION

They have said they want to “minimize” the effect of the P2W systems and have a small gap between those that pay and those that don’t.  Essentially, some P2W but not excessive.  And we know that NCSOFT almost always has some form of P2W in their games.  I really think it is just a question of “How much P2W?”. They also say they think the West has become more “open” to microtransactions. (Source)

Free to Play is confirmed (Source)

CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

Players can only be human (Source)

There is not much known about the customization yet, we have seen a few glimpses of it in videos (Source)

There is an AI character creator that can make a character based on a picture (Source)

PLAYER TRANSFORMATIONS

Player transformations change your skill bars and give you the ability for faster travel on land, sea, or air.  Siege transformations are also possible.

THE 3 PILLARS OF THRONE AND LIBERTY

(Source)

ENVIRONMENT

  • There is a big focus on the 3D topography of Throne and Liberty and traversal using transformations and grappling.  And weather changing the environment, player skills, etc.
  • See the Day/Night, Travel/Transportation, and Weather sections below for the details.

LOCAL EVENTS

  • Events that trigger with the schedule viewable on the world map.  Some of these are PVP events and they have a leaderboard.  They last approximately 20 minutes and each event occurs every 3 hours.  The example given was the “wolf tails” event near the starter area. (Source)

MEMORIALS

  • Server-wide events take place on each server.  When a server progresses to the next stage all players are on the same stage.  World content is experienced together instead of players being phased. (Source)

UI

The UI is minimalist in nature. The player name plate shows buffs below the bar, and debuffs above the bar (Source)

Health and Mana are confirmed resources and are visible on the player nameplate (7,005 health and 11,360 mana at level 56)

Stamina is also a confirmed resource, that seems to be used for transformations, some skills(See Counterattack GS #2 skill), and grappling. (Source)

The Console UI shows 4 spots on the bottom left for consumables, and 8 spots on the bottom right for weapon skills (Source)

Autoplay button?  Auto skill use buttons?  Autorun to objectives?  Various autoplay options have been seen that seem to suggest Autoplay functionality might be present (Source, Source 2, Source 3)

Autorun?  Autorun to objectives option is seen in one of the translated images(last image) (Source)

Transformation Options bottom left of UI (Source)

Compass instead of Minimap, also a day/night timer is seen to the left of the compass (Source)

6 Player Party Size (Source)

Enemy Target Frames (Source)

Boss Debuff Frame(A lot of debuffs) (Source)

Target lock circle seen for grappling skills (Source)

Target Circle seen under targeted mob (Source)

Target Icon on Selected Target (Source)

RACES

All players play as humans but can transform into various land, sea, and siege animals/monsters. (Source)

See player transformations below for the various transformations we have seen

See the UI section above for where the transformation options are seen on the UI

CLASSES | WEAPON TYPES

Weapon choices give you your “class”.  Similar to New World.  As mentioned in the PVE section the max skills I saw was 8 on a level 56 character(Also seen in several other places, and in the skill select screen).  With having two weapons you can swap between the total would be 16 skills.  The max level I saw was 66, so the max is probably at least 70 or higher so we might have more skills at higher levels. (Source, Skill Select Screen Source)

You can level all the weapons on one character if you want, which makes alts not necessary

Tanks confirmed (Source 1, Source 2, Source 3)

Healers seem likely (Source 1, Source 2)

Weapon Types seen so far, duel wielding and weapon swapping of two weapon sets is confirmed:

  • LONGBOW
  • GREATSWORD
  • DUAL DAGGERS
  • WAND & TOME
  • STAFF
  • SWORD & SHIELD
  • LONGSWORD
  • CROSSBOWS
  • 1 HANDED CROSSBOW (Source)
  • HATCHET 1H and Dual Wielded (Source)

WEAPON SKILLS

Skill Tiers/Rarities seem to be a possibility for the skills.  Red seems to be Tier 1/Epic, Green and Blue Tiers are unknown (Source)

  • “A crystal that contains the energy of life.  It gets absorbed and breathes life into the body.”
  • Weighs 9.38 kr and takes 6.6% of the inventory space
  • Stack of 268
  • Comes from the Dynamic Event Shop (Source)
  • Imgur Link to the Tooltip Image: https://imgur.com/a/wOGGt7j 

COMBAT

TAB target seems to be the targeting style (Source 1, Source 2)

See also further confirmation in the UI Section

Melee appears to cleave? (Source)

Pull abilities seem to be featured in a lot of the skills (Source)

Stealth has been seen (Source)

Hybrid action/tab combat seems to be the style choice.  Similar to Guild Wars 2 potentially.  Tab is the targeting but with melee cleaving and a lot of movement and presumably some dodge abilities it could have an action feel.

Skills are based on your weapon choices.  The max # of active skills from the gameplay videos we have seen is 8.  You can equip two weapons and swap weapons so that would make the max 16.  However, it could be higher as the 8 skills were on a level 56 character and the highest level I saw was 66, so you might get more at a higher level.  You might also have 4 slots for consumables.  Several of the skills have an action “timing” component like the Greatsword Counter Attack skill. (Source 1, Source 2)

8 skills per weapon, 16 total: (Source)

PVE

Past NCSoft games relied heavily on player driven content and PVP.  In this MMO they want to have PVE be a big focus while still having great PVP elements. (Source)

Dungeons are Open World with PVP (likely) turned on. Dungeons have multiple layers and going directly to the bottom floor of a dungeon is possible using gliding or grappling skills (Source)

Raid Bosses are Open World and PVP is (likely) turned on. (Source)

STORY

They want to have a compelling story but they want it to be optional for those that are not interested. (Source)

There is little known about the current story, but they did release a “TL Story Map” and “TL Play Novel” that give some story information

PVP

There is a lot that is still unconfirmed about PVP after the latest update.  Before it was assumed that PVP was always on but there was a Karma system called “Evil Deeds” that would punish players for PKing other players.  But in the recent Director’s Preview, we learned that most zones are now Safe Zones and that PVP is not forced.  In a recent skill tooltip translation for the Greatsword CounterAttack skill, I learned that the Evil Deeds system IS still in place in PVP areas due to the tutorial text on the screen. (See Counterattack in the Weapon Skills section)

  • Evil Deeds:
    • Evil deeds is the PK Karma System.  Appears to still be used in PVP Zones.  All that has ever been said about this system is that it is turned on during the day, and turned off at night. (Day is 4 hours, Night is 1 hour..see the Day/Night Cycles section for more information) (Source)
  • Director’s Preview PVP Update (Source)

Occupation Wars/Guild Wars

  • A battle over open-world objectives that guilds can own (Source)
  • Rain can affect the area around the objectives (Source)
  • Objectives
    • In TL’s fields there are objects which can only be maintained by guilds only.
      • These objects are called the Blessing Stone and the Dimension Stone
        • These two stones together are called the Possession Stones
        • The acquisition of the possession stones allows for enhanced Guild Capabilities as well as procurement of necessary raw materials (Source)

Siege Warfare:

  • A fight over “large” objectives such as Castles
  • Defensive side has the advantage, but as time goes on the player can transform into a golem destroying the wall or jumping on top of the wall to disturb the opponent’s camp.  And a golem that carries people also appears.
  • There is a secret attack route that can only be used when it is not raining. (Source)
  • Siege Victory rewards 6.7 million sollant, and 122K Gold Lucent(right side of screen) (Source)

We do know that PVP is turned on in dungeons and open world raid bosses (See the PVE section above.

We also know that PVP is enabled for certain “Regional Events” such as the Wolf Tails events (Source)

PVP appears to be also turned on on the “flying island” that is used for transportation to unreachable areas called “Gigantrithe”.  This object moves along a set route like a subway line.  See the “Travel/Transportation” section below for details.

TRAVEL | TRANSPORTATION

Fast travel appears to be limited.  There seems to be an emphasis on players using transformation skills to travel faster instead of mounts.  Players can transform into a wolf for faster land travel speed.  A shark for faster aquatic speed.  And a bird for faster air travel/gliding.  See below for details on the various transformations that we have seen.

Grappling to reach higher areas has been seen in multiple gameplay trailers. (Source)

There was one potential “teleportation” stone seen in the first gameplay trailer. (Source)

There is a “flying island” that is called Gigantrithe that appears and allows players to reach places that otherwise are not accessible.  This island appears every few hours and exists for 30 minutes. (Source 1, Source 2)

DAY | NIGHT CYCLES

Day lasts for 4 hours, Night lasts for 1 hour. (Source)

Day | Night can affect player abilities

  • Example of day/night affecting player spells:
    • “One player skill that changes with the environment is the dagger skill, Ghost Step, with increases movement speed at night, and Dagger Venom’s blood poison effect changes depending on whether it is day or night”

Day | Night can affect boss/monster strength and their drop tables (Source)

Day | Night can affect what type of mobs spawn (Source)

There is an eclipse spell that only certain player(s) will have that can change the day to night (Source)

Some players can use skills that affect the day/night cycles or the weather.  These skills have very long cooldowns and are only available to players that are leading various daily leaderboards. (Source)

The weather or day/night change by the players lasts 10 minutes, and can only be used twice daily by the player who ranks first in a specific ranking on a daily basis (Source)

WEATHER

The ratio of sunny and rainy weather is 4:1 and once the weather changes it is maintained for 30 minutes.

  • 30 minutes of rain…2 hours of sun?? (Source)

RAIN

  • Rain can affect certain skills, monster abilities, drop tables, and spawn tables.
  • Last 30 minutes
  • Sunny is a 4:1 ratio to rainy
  • Rain and other forms of weather can affect the environment by filling areas and not allowing passage by the players.  Example given was rain filling up a sewer passage to the castle that players can use as an alternate assault path when it is sunny.  This means the few players that have the ability to change the weather to rain could change it to rain for 30 minutes and block that passage. (Source)
  • Example given for a player spell that is affected by the rain is the lightning spell will bounce to multiple targets in the rain, but only hits one target when it is sunny (Source)

WIND

  • Wind can affect certain skills, monster abilities, drop tables, and spawn tables
  • The developers stated that wind is difficult to express visually, whereas rain and other weather is easier
  • Example of a player ability that is affected by the wind is projectiles traveling further.  There used to be more effects but they toned it down to just projectile distance increasing (Source)
  • Gliding distance also increases when the wind is out of the right direction with enough strength.  This could be enough to allow players to glide over castle walls. (Source)
  • There is a high level skill that only one person per server can have that can change the wind direction. (Source)

Some players can use skills that affect the day/night cycles or the weather.  These skills have very long cooldowns, and are only available to players that are leading various daily leaderboards. (Source)

The weather or day/night change by the players lasts 10 minutes, and can only be used twice daily by the player who ranks first in a specific ranking on a daily basis (Source)

  • https://bbs.ruliweb.com/news/read/174784 
  • Focus of the presentation was Open Field Content in TL
  • Development team is nearly 200 people
  • Open world in TL is focused on seamless world and three-dimensional level design
  • Channeling of servers, and instanced dungeons to prevent content monopolization have left the open world empty.  TL dungeons will be open world and the world connects seamlessly between the dungeon and the world.
  • 3D Topography was implemented to give a sense of life and vitality.  Grappling skills and transformation into various animals will allow players to traverse this topography
  • The three pillars of the open world of TL:
    • Environment
    • Local Events
    • Memorials
  • Environment:
    • Day and Night Cycles
      • Day is 4 hours
      • Night is 1 hour
    • Rain and Wind
    • Day, Night, Rain and Wind all effect the game in various ways
    • The ratio of sunny and rainy weather is 4:1 and once the weather changes it is maintained for 30 minutes.
      • 30 minutes of rain…2 hours of sun(?)
    • Wind effect was reduced from the initial plan.  Rain and night are easy to express visually, but wind is difficult.  The current wind effect is to increase long range projectiles distance and gliding distance
    • One player skill that changes with the environment is the dagger skill, Ghost Step, with increases movement speed at night, and Venom’s blood poison effect changes depending on whether it is day or night
    • Lightning chain activated in sun will hit one target, in the rain multiple targets

Link to image of Lightning Chain effect:https://imgur.com/Yw3Jgh1

  • When it rains, field objects occupied by guilds during occupation wars will fill up with water in low areas making it impossible to fight in these areas.
  • “Some terrains where Archboss appears have to be washed off with water when debuffed, but when it rains, the water level in the fountain rises, making it easier to wash.”  – (Not sure exactly what this means)

Link to image of water rising during weather effect: https://imgur.com/zjBMCHX

  • Some monsters change power, abilities, and drop tables depending on the day/night or weather
  • A handful of players will have the power to control the environment for 10 minutes.This skill can only be used twice per day, and can only be used by a person who ranks first in a specific ranking on a daily basis (People will know who he is)

Link to image of player potentially controlling weather environment: https://imgur.com/ZWOmol1

  • Regional Events:
    • Events that change the content of a specific region for a short period of time.
    • Example: Wolf Hunting Tournament which is in the early leveling area.
      • A Ranking system is in place for these events.
      • Wolf tails in the player’s inventory are displayed above the player’s head, and player’s can PVP and take the tails if they win
      • 3 tail return locations exist, but as time goes by that number decreases.  So turning in the tails reduces your risk, but holding them potentially is more efficient but riskier

  • Local events trigger every 3 hours, and the schedule is displayed on the

  • “A filler is a concept of an event triggered in an open field, and field contents such as bosses, occupation battles, and siege battles are also an extension of the event trigger concept.”
  • Memorials:
    • A direct interaction between a player and the world
    • “The memorial is a direct interaction between the player and the world, and in the picture below, pressing the monument on the left screen opens the memorial, giving the player the feeling that they can change the world (interaction), and sequentially lighting content (each content is final at a specific point in time). content), and prevents content monopoly.”

  • Siege Warfare:
    • A fight over “large” objectives such as Castles
    • Defensive side has the advantage, but as time goes on the player can transform into a golem destroying the wall or jumping on top of the wall to disturb the opponent’s camp.  And a golem that carries people also appears.

  • PVE Challenge Content:
    • Example: Arc Boss, “Queen Bloody”. (Giant Sandworm) 
    • The boss is designed to not be too complicated considering the unpredictable number of attackers and PVP being possible
    • The boss is not a simple meat shield
    • Requires formation and operation for each class
    • Among Queen Bloody’s patterns, spitting larvae can also be used as a PVP element, and Sand Hell must be quickly removed from the surrounding.
    • The boss moving is a “reset”

  • “T”=Tank Confirmed???
  • Giant flying object named Gigantrithe is a moving terrain island that moves along a set route like a subway line.  Using this object to travel makes it possible to access places not normally accessible.  This island will have competition and PVP as people will compete for these hard to access locations (Open World PVP confirmed??) This island appears every few hours and exists for 30 minutes.

✣NCSoft Q2 Results Conference Call (8-12-22)✣

  • https://www.thisisgame.com/webzine/nboard/4/?n=155621 
  • We are now aiming for a first half of 2023 release for TL
  • P2W:
    • We will minimize the gap between users as much as possible, and avoid P2W design(suggests some P2W but not excessive is the goal??)
    • To add to this there is a change in response to the “partial charge model” in NA and EU.  (In other words, the West is now more open to “microtransactions” than they were in the past??)
    • TL can achieve good success if it avoids excessive P2W(Again..basically confirming some P2W??)
    • The release date was postponed due to partnership discussion(Amazon?)
    • TL has successfully conducted an in house test with 3000 participants(In August).  An external test will be conducted at an appropriate time to global testers

✣NCSoft Q1 Results Conference Call (5-13-22)✣

✣Throne and Liberty Interview Part 1 (4-27-22)✣

Q: Is the gameplay video real gameplay(Such as the Siege Golem with player’s on it) 

A: “YES!”

Q: Is this a separate IP or is it still related to Lineage?

A: Lineage is still at the root of Throne and Liberty.  The aspects of Lineage people enjoy are present.  But it is a new world.

Q: What are some things in TL that were in Lineage?

A:
– Group Content

– Siege Warfare

– Competitive Gameplay

Q: What kind of MMO is TL?   What MMO can we compare it to?

A: 

  • It is hard to find a clear comparison
  • Some elements are similar, but the game as a whole is unique

Q: Story?

A: 

  • Story is important but not the core of TL
  • Story is delivered early on, but later on players that are not interested can skip it, players that are interested can seek it out
  • They still want to have a well developed story, but make it optional

✣Throne and Liberty Interview Part 2 (4-28-22) ✣

  • Link to News Article:

https://www.thisisgame.com/webzine/special/nboard/5/?n=148233

Q: Is combat stat based or skills based?

A: More skill based.  Things like animal transformations, cooldown usage, and overall planning of your attacks is very important in 1v1 situations.  In group play it is more about formations and usage of key skills.  The environment and traversal skills also play a big role.

Q: Is combat targeting(TAB??) or non-targeting(Action??) 

A: “Combat is a targeting method” (TAB Confirmed?)

Q: What Races can you play as?  What about transformations?
A:
– The only playable race is humans.
– Players can transform into various land, aquatic, and siege animals/monsters

– The transformations are powerful and give information and travel abilities only available while in these forms

– This golem is actually a human player transformed:

Link to image of golem player: https://imgur.com/XoWmZN8

Q: Can you get anywhere you want with the transformations?  Players changing the weather/environment?

A: 

  • There are limitations.  Things like gliding over a castle wall might be possible if you get to a high enough point, and glide well.  Or if the wind is strong enough and out of the right direction.
    – There is a high level skill that only one person per server can have that can change the wind direction.
    – Other weather/environment changing skills change the climate/cause a solar eclipse(night)

Q: Do these skills have a big impact on the battle?

A: Yes

Q: It must be difficult to raise a character with that skill?

A: These skills cannot be acquired by leveling a character, you must go out and get them(Events, leaderboards)

Q: Not all guilds having this skill could create conflict? 

A: 

  • Yes, and it can make the fight change depending on who has each skill
  • The skills have a high cooldown and timing of the skill is critical

Q: How big of an impact do these environmental effects/skills have?  Players might complain that they lost a fight because it rained, etc.
A:

  • At first the skills/weather had high impact.  We have lowered it to be less drastic of an effect, but still matter
  • For example attack power of ranged attacks was affected by the wind, later we changed it to just the range of the projectiles to tune it down
  • Instead of massive combat changes we have changed it to be more of a change of environment.  For example different mob spawns/drop tables at night.
  • “In <TL>, there is a concept of ‘bad deeds’ that accumulate when PK is performed, but when PK is performed at night, this does not accumulate.” (Evil Deeds/Bad Deeds, PK/Karma system??)
  • Topography also matters, puddles of water filling an area when it rains for example
  • Some bosses are stronger at night or when it rains, but if they are stronger their drops are also better
  • Weather changes might open certain dungeon areas that were inaccessible before

✣Throne and Liberty Interview Part 3 (4-28-22)✣

  • Link to News Article:

https://www.thisisgame.com/webzine/special/nboard/5/?n=148249

Q: Features locked behind paywalls?
A:

  • “There is no features that can only be reached by charging”
  • Those who understand the game can advance faster.  Those who pay can receive more benefits.  But the key is to control the gap (Essentially minimize the effect of P2W, IMO)
  • Microtransactions allow players that have less time to play a way to catch up

Q: Some Group Content only accessible to the top players?
A: Those that are ahead “Can do a little more”, but there is not a lot that is locked away by the highest leveled characters.

Q: Why the classless system?  Can you Tank, Heal, DPS?

A:

  • In group play, it is possible to play the Tank, Heal, or DPS roles.  Weapons determine the abilities/class you are, and you level the weapon to get more proficient with that weapon/class.  You can dual wield and mix/match weapons to get different ability combinations, and you can have two unique weapon sets and swap between them. (Similar to GW2 or NW)
  • This allows players to reroll a “class” more easily essentially

Q: How many character slots?
A: There is talk of only having one character slot since characters can level all the weapons if they want to reroll.  But this is not confirmed

Q: If there is no class, how do you grow a character?  Are stats selected by the players?
A: Players distribute stats.  There is a possibility of different builds, some Greatsword users might go strength, some might choose to increase the power of skills.

Q: How strong is gear?
A: 

  • Gear does not create a huge gap.  There is a gap between players that have played a long time and new players, but the gap is not as big as some games
  • You can feel the difference in gear, but it is not enough to completely turn the tide of war
  • There is no “one shots”, instead the time to kill is long enough to allow for strategy to take place

Q: Can players “Control” an area of the map like in Lineage?  Such as dungeons or world bosses?
A: Controlling or locking down a boss or dungeon will not be the optimal way to play.  There is no way to completely prevent that from happening, but it is not the best way to get ahead in the game.

Q: Console release real?  Both PS5 and XBOX?
A: Yes!

Link to image of Console Platform: https://imgur.com/ME9j9IP

Q: Cloud/mobile play?
A: Yes on the ‘Purple” app

Q: Crossplay between PC and Console?
A: No

Q: World size and future updates?

A:

  • The world might be small at first, but it will be “dense” with multi-level underground dungeons and topography
  • The world will expand with updates to eventually be 20 times the launch size

Q: Future game updates?

A: Little by little by interviews, videos, etc.

  • Day and Night Cycles come at predictable times and players can plan for these events(4 hours day, 1 hour night from a previous interview) https://youtu.be/Or9BfKJ9g4g?t=249 

Link to image of Day & Night Cycle: https://imgur.com/2foLUlv

  • Unpredictable Weather such as Wind and Rain will require players to adapt on the fly(When the weather changes it will last 30 minutes as we learned in a previous interview, however SOME players can change the weather if they reach the top of specific daily leaderboards) https://youtu.be/Or9BfKJ9g4g?t=251 
  • Examples of Weather Changing Skills:
  • Lightning spell Chains when it is Raining:

  • Weapon Skills
  • PVPhttps://youtu.be/Or9BfKJ9g4g?t=377
    • “We tried to come up with PVP rules that allowed players to decide whether they want to participate or not”
    • “Most of TL’s fields are safe zones”
    • “Once competitions like regional events or boss raids begin, certain fields allow combat to occur.”
    • “Players can proactively choose to participate or not”
    • Players can check the map to see what events and competitions are planned
    • This allows for players to not have a chance to fall into unexpected PVP situations
  • Regional Events: https://youtu.be/Or9BfKJ9g4g?t=421
    • All players in the Region can participate
    • They last about 20 minutes
    • There is a ranking system (Example from GStar and later in the video is the Wolf Tails events where players collect wolf tails and turn in at three turn in NPCs, which later are less than 3 turn in NPCs.  You can PVP and steal the wolf tails from others, so turning in is needed to be safe, but collecting more is higher risk/reward.)
  • Guild Wars:https://youtu.be/Or9BfKJ9g4g?t=436
    • In TL’s fields there are objects which can only be maintained by guilds only.
      • These objects are called the Blessing Stone and the Dimension Stone
        • These two stones together are called the Possession Stones
        • The acquisition of the possession stones allows for enhanced Guild Capabilities as well as procurement of necessary raw materials
        • To get the stones, guilds will go through bloody battles
        • To maintain superiority in these fights, players must understand the terrain these stones are located on
