Amazon Games' MMORPG Throne and Liberty has unveiled Solisium's Awakening, a substantial update poised to transform player interactions and broaden the game's allure through its novel housing feature. This latest addition, set within existing towns, invites players into customized living experiences while maintaining geographical continuity.
The housing system has been crafted to blend seamlessly into the vibrant landscapes of Throne and Liberty. While the homes are instanced, they reflect the beauty of their surroundings, providing players with scenic backdrops that accentuate the game's living environments. Tico, the globalization design manager, emphasizes the team's aim to make players feel as though they are integral members of thriving communities.
Customization and Community
The housing enhancement is not merely about providing shelter but focuses on lifestyle integration. The game introduces a revamped gathering system aligned with a new Handicrafting job, allowing players to create furniture and home decorations. Unlike traditional approaches heavily reliant on combat, the acquisition of materials for home customization prioritizes lifestyle engagement. Tico notes that while some rare items might necessitate adventure, the majority of materials can be obtained peacefully, appealing to players who relish creativity and social interaction over combat-heavy gameplay.
Properties are strategically placed throughout various neighborhoods, each offering distinct atmospheres—from Kastleton's bustling markets to Vienta Village's majestic cliff-side views. This diversity caters to a broad spectrum of player preferences, promoting a sense of belonging and personal expression.
Customization extends beyond aesthetics, with homeowners empowered to manage access to their domains, opening doors to guild members, friends, or select invitees. This feature fosters community building within the game, turning houses into social hubs where players can showcase their decor and host gatherings.
Enhanced Support and Adventure
The Solisium's Awakening update goes beyond housing, incorporating pivotal changes aimed at enhancing overall game experience. Players new to the game can take advantage of the "hyperboost" feature, a progressive system designed to help them catch up by rapidly advancing through gameplay while earning better rewards via the Adventure Codex.
Further enhancing the cooperative aspects, Dimensional Trials see an overhaul to create more dynamic and rewarding challenges. These changes introduce affix reworks and inventory filters, streamlining the loot sorting process, and offering players more agency over their gaming journey.
The update also introduces a new PvP Battlegrounds mode, fostering competitive play while encouraging strategic teamwork. Starting with 24 vs 24 matches, players can choose roles such as Tank, DPS, or Support, and experiment with new mechanics like the Orb, a support weapon that promises to redefine teamwork and strategy developing within the game.
Overall, this multifaceted update not only enhances Throne and Liberty's current offerings but also extends the appeal to a wider audience, celebrating both the adventurous spirit and creative nuances of its players.
