Anime Throne and Liberty - Amazon paid to publish a Korean AFK grinder

[ADL]

not Lineage 3 lookin pretty good

NCSoft currently seeking global publishing partner. Q1 2023 release in Asia.

 

[Reinhardt]

looks like shit. no dark elf girls, no ork girls. just generic k-pop fags. guess they were too much for current year.

 

[Val the Moofia Boss]

The gameplay could be cool, but the photo-realistic art direction is a turn off.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

ncsoft mmo?
probably full of bots before it even launches

 

[Fedora Master]

NCSoft? Into the trash it goes.

 

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Yikes.



Not being able to draw a bow and aim and effectively shoot while moving makes sense, but not being able to swing your sword while moving is dumb. If you are pursuing someone, you won't be able to kill them at all unless you have a ranged weapon and stop and manage to get a shot off before they leave the range of your bow.

Auto gameplay? What's the point of playing then?

Your character is automatically playing while you are logged out? So you might see other characters running around the game world, and you message them, but no one answers because there is no player there? What? The point of an MMO is that the characters you see are other players. If they're just bots then why not just make a singleplayer game instead?

They "promised" to change the combat and progression. But I've been on this ride before with Archeage. Which was at least a good game, which this isn't.

Koreans don't want to fundamentally change their game design for a western audience. This game is going to a pay to win Korean grindfest autobattler because that's what they make for the korean market. They will not fundamentally change the design of their game for the sake of the western world. They will at best make small incremental changes they will say are bigger than they actually are. The end.

Not sure why a game released a year ago in other territories is subject to an NDA but since it's attached to my Amazon shopping account I'm not breaking it lol

The changes made in the Eastern version seem alright. Doesn't look like the AFK grinder version of the game at all.

[frajaq]

unbalanced weapons
dungeons are shit
P2W shop for crafting/upgrading materials
half of this game content is PvP, Guild vs Guilds

game will have addicts but will die eventually

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

I thought this was free to play. Are people paying money just to play 5 days early? Lol, paying to test a game. What a bunch of tards.

 

[Modron]

Next thing you know they'll be buying cosmetics.

 

[Cryomancer]

Downloaded the game and created my char for curiosity. 1300 dudes in queue... So far spells seems to scale with weapons and there are "body types" instead of Gender. Did they used gender in ORIGINAL Korean version?

 

[InD_ImaginE]

P2W shop for crafting/upgrading materials

eh this should be expected out of Korean MMO in general by now

since even Ragnarok Online has this been an issue

 

[Vyvian]

I watched DatModz play a bit and instantly checked out when he told his party not to open the dungeon chest because of "daily limits" and that it wasn't wise to actually loot end of dungeon chests until you were higher level.
It also seems to have Lost Ark's shitty honing system which is basically P2W after a certain point or turn it into your life to grind materials to fail until pity.

 

[frajaq]

Oh man it has gacha-like limited stamina systems too? These devs are going all out!

> Body types instead of genders
> Spells scaling with weapons
> Flashy yet low lethality combat
> Endless handholding

Hard pass, uninstalled, rather play DDO.

i have not tried the game but the third point is not a con . Low TTK ( time to kill) is much better than oneshot fiesta,especially in p2w environment

>Asian MMO
>no loli race

Low TTK ( time to kill) is much better than oneshot fiesta,especially in p2w environment

Nope, low TTK is booooring and OHK fiesta is great in DDO. My very first death in the game was to a mob with phantasmal killer. https://ddowiki.com/page/Phantasmal_Killer

PK is the opposite of flashy but no lethal spells. And IMO a Cryomancer able to freeze the enemy heart if he fails to resist his magic is much more interesting than a cryomancer throwing endless pillars and ice comets and dealing like 15% of a wolf hp in damage.

ok it mostly depends on which lenght of TTK we are talking. too long is ineed boring. but too low is even worse, because you do not have control on the fight. not considering how lag dependant it becomes. if TTK is higher , combat can be more strategical and deep

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

strategical? deep? in a korean autobattler?

I said it CAN be, i was talking in general , not specifically about this game

Sorry, only Western Norms™ are allowed in AGS games.

 

[Thalstarion]

After seeing what Amazon did to Lost Ark to the point of going out of their way to race change major NPC's? Nah. It's a hard pass from me.
