Expansion of Player Housing and Crafting
The much-anticipated Solisium update for Throne and Liberty ushers in a new era of player engagement through its novel player housing feature. Spanning 24 distinct locations in Castleton and Vienta Village, the housing options range from cozy basements to expansive large homes. Players now have the opportunity to own up to four homes, with personalized interiors thanks to the instanced design allowing for customization and control over visitor permissions.
To complement the housing system, the update introduces a comprehensive crafting mechanism. Adventurers can engage in a variety of gathering activities including logging, mining, and foraging. The expanded system also includes processing skills such as woodworking, forging, and handcrafting, allowing players to craft unique furniture and enhance their homes.
Innovative Combat and Introduction of New Weapon
Combat dynamics in Throne and Liberty receive a strategic twist with the introduction of the Orb, a new support weapon. Players can deploy up to three spheres on the battlefield, or attach them to allies, affecting movement, damage, and abilities. This new weapon is expected to have significant implications for PvP strategies, requiring players to adeptly manage spheres for optimal results.
PvP Enhancements and Challenging PvE Content
The gaming community's calls have been answered with the introduction of the Battlegrounds PvP mode, offering exhilarating 24v24 matches. Additionally, the Solisium update revitalizes Dimensional Trials by adding two new dungeons, enhancing rewards and establishing weekly rankings. For those seeking stiffer challenges, new 'ascended' field bosses in Laslan and Stonegard present formidable foes with lucrative loot.
Progression Paths and Endgame Content
Progression within the game is more accessible, with a free "hyperboost" feature expediting character leveling while preserving the essential gaming experience. Novices are catered to through the "Path of the Stars," which provides tailored build suggestions, whereas seasoned players can pursue progression missions via the "Path of Ascension," complete with rewarding incentives.
The endgame is further enriched with tier-three gear accessible from multiple sources, alongside an upgrade path utilizing Growthstones. Additionally, the rune level cap grows from 90 to 120, introducing new avenues for character enhancement.
Quality of Life Improvements and Technical Adjustments
Player experience is a priority with the recent update's quality of life improvements and technical adjustments. Enhanced character movement responsiveness, reduced fall damage impacts, and balanced combat are among the changes. Material-based equipment effects and polished interface designs contribute to a smoother gaming environment, while technical performance tweaks ensure efficient and immersive gameplay.
