Throne and Liberty Open World PvP — TL

"Throne," from the title, symbolizes the battle community, with competitions and combat. The word "Liberty" symbolizes the freedom to seek out your own adventures in the vast game world. And finally, the joining word "and" calls to mind a place of unity, where the dividing walls of nationalities and generation gaps are meaningless.

How PvP Will Work In Throne and Liberty

NCSOFT during the Throne and Liberty Director’s Preview, stated several interesting points regarding PvP in the game. With the upcoming IP the developers decided to implement specific rules for player versus player combat. Rules that ultimately allows players to choose to be a part of the chaos or not.

Firstly we have been told that most areas or “zones” in the game will be safe for players. However certain areas can and will become open for PVP combat interaction during regional based events or boss raids. These are unique to their own region or zone – backstory and all. As a result of this event style, players can choose ahead of time to participate. We as players will have the ability to check a schedule for upcoming events, competitions and more and plan around it – choosing to participate or avoid. Regional battles will last around 20 minutes usually.

Within the world of Throne and Liberty, guilds and communities are very common – similar to the MMORPG genre in general. However in the open world, there are special and unique items that can only be possessed by guilds. The Dimension Stone and Blessing Stone. These are known as “Stones of Possession”. The previously mentioned stones will allow guilds to acquire raw materials and unique buffs and benefits. These will set yourself apart from other guilds. As a result of this, you will need to defend your guild’s stones when in your possession. And if they are not in your possession, participate in attack battles to secure the stones for the guild.

Perhaps our favourite part of the closed beta gameplay – we have various moments in which we get to see a glimpse of large-scale battles, in the form of PVP castle sieges! These battles typically take place with one team defending and another team assaulting, making their way through many areas until they reach the throne room and claim victory. However these battles take places with hundreds of players, prepare for chaos!

Also something to note that was not really shown off in the beta footage, large-scale PVP is also very apparent in the open world, so be ready!
