Pay to Win Update at End-Game (Throne & Liberty)
Will not have too much time this week so I wanted to get this quick video out for you guys addressing the P2W in Throne & Liberty. Level 50 Events have started to unlock and after about a month with most Milestones unlocked, here's our understanding of the pay to win.
One thing I forgot to mention was the Battle Pass and Lotties Shop. After completing the battle pass you essentially can continue farming it for additional items of value and this can be sped up through Lucent. This isn't the main form of pay to win but it certainly is another small element of it.

Games like these just comfirm in my mind why it was a good idea to stop playing P2W games. Even if i was rich and could whale everyday I'd feel dirty kerbstomping F2P players. Wheres the fun in beating someone who doesnt stand a chance. I game to get away from the bullshit of real life, not to relive it.

But they are getting play for free... so then force a box price and subscription? "I am not playing because I have to pay". So why would you feel sorry for anyone that doesn't want to support any game they play? Yes, this game does have strong p2w, not "technical p2w" but if it's free people have nothing to whine about you don't have to pay a cent, but complain that you want to have access to everything identically to someone who pays? They'd go bankrupt. The question is is the FREE TO PLAY option VIABLE given just having to invest more time but you are still competitive. Then yes, I agree a game that is F2P should have a balance of non-paying gameplay that can be competitive if compensated with smarter and longer playing. This game however is not that. BDO, Albion etc are examples of technical pay2win but a free player can easily set themselves up to never have to pay a cent.

@@Despond the point I was making is that you have to consistently pay money to have a good experience. If you don't you'll get flattened. In a game with a strong emphasis on pvp that means it's very P2W, much more so than if it was just subscription because the ones who pay more will have an overwhelming advantage. The long and short of it is if you don't have unlimited funds you'll always be on the back foot no matter how much you play.

Well then yes, I agree 100% with that scenario and that's how I judge a game's degree or severity of p2w. Are you basically coerced to swipe or else you're @ an unreasonable and significant disadvantage that even extra gaming hours cannot compensate. I find also any game with KR honing systems are the biggest culprits. If it was up to me I would love MMOs to just be one flat subsciprtion and everyone gets access to everything, but that's not the best way to make money these days. Even WoW now has a box price+sub but also the token system/cash shop that basically inflated everything because people are buying tokens to sell for gold and get raid carries and bypass months of progression.@@Corusame

So, in a nutshell, on the prior VoD you weren't sponsored yet, so you gave us a player PoV about the P2W state of the game. Now you are being sponsored you tell us what the studio wants us to think about the P2W state of the game!😅
After being able to play the game for 3 weeks, there are three conclusions that I'm getting: 1) The game doesn't offer anything new (for me) that any other MMORPG already has. As you said in another video, Archeage/Lineage/WoW with newer skins... will be a honeymoon of a few months for a few. 2) It is definitively P2W and will get even more, the foundation is already there. 3) The bot problem will be the same as LA once releases in the west.

So, while yes, this is 100% a pay to win game, and from someone (myself) that does not like, even hates p2w. I can confidently say, this is a better p2w system then some other games. Someone with free time, if you can just farm items and sell them for the prem currency, it feels more like pay for speed. IMO, that doesn't feel so bad, I can see how annoying it might be to others tho, with less time and or money. (Note I have not played the game, and this is my opinion from only watching streams and videos on yt.)
It's fully P2W let's just settle with that. Anyways, thanks for the details. Will check in on Western release but will jump ship once it turns out to be predatory P2W.
Thanks for the update, really unfortunate. Hopefully it changes before it comes west
Correct me if i'm wrong, but my opinion of Pay To Win is when you can only win with real money. As Pay to Progress is when you can either pay real money or gain through gameplay, which i'm fine with the last one.

These days any form of Pay2Progress is equal to Pay2Win for 98% of people. I'm in the same boat as you and i literally couldn't care less. If i'm able to do everything without being paywalled in the game, it's not P2W to me. Even Lost Ark isn't P2W to me and i have 6 chars 1600+ and play it since day 1.
Getting some lost ark/blade and soul vibes where early on everything is fine but as time go and your reasonably achievable day 30 adventurer swords +9 turn into ANUSFUCKER OF THE BLACK ABYSS + 30 [Enchanted] [Awakened] [Transcended] then newcomers aren't coming in and f2p/dolphins players just quit from never catching up.

Dont think, of future, dont prepare for future. Just download, log in, create character, go on an adventure. And decide on your principle policy - Do you want to pay for extras? cosmetics? boost etc. w.e - Then have no 2nd doubts. stick to your policy and enjoy your game. If you plan on not paying for anything with your monies, and want to just enjoy the free play experience? then thats it, stick to that, whatever you do, or decide. Play, Have fun, No stress. No drama, no negatives. Just PLAY. Adventure. IN THE Present. dont worry about Future, or What will happen , or what IFF. my god, just PLAY Have fun, face challenges, deal with them like a GAMER and log out! My fellow gamers. Return to gamer mindset. PS (ALL above said, Be wise all the same, be aware of the features of these games, as applied by these devs and publishers. Know where you stand, and stand by your policy in how you as a gamer think games features should be. So we can continue to stress to these *Apparently greed stricken devs* what we gamers call standards we apprechiate.)

P2Skip, P2Advance = P2W craps
Been playing roughly 2 weeks full +9 blue weapon and armor and play fairly casually, the game is one of the best korean games when it comes to gearing and how much mats they actually give out for not a lot of work. I come from a background in Lineage II & Black Desert Online, T&L is a much better gearing experience hands down. All this P2W won't effect any gameplay till after the market is flooded with mats for upgrades which won't be a thing till a month into the game as everyone is going to be needing all these mats to upgrade their own gear, hence noone is going to be selling all these mats when they still need their upgrades. So two weeks in and I'm able to pvp and I'm not getting 1 shotted like I would be getting in BDO compared to a whale + no lifer.
@tommieStv
7 ай бұрын
I agree mostly, but at the begining everyone wants to upgrade and there are not going to be a lot of mats, so the price would he higher, if I can advise you can always sell them early release, and buy them later when there are more on market for a lower price, if you don't mind gearing up later ofc.
So this is basically Lost Ark but without the cool action combat fights
Thanks for mentioning that it will be more P2W in the future. The fact that there is no inventory of the P2W items is like saying LAO was not P2W in the first month because you could not buy gems 10 on the market. Well, yeah people are likely to gear themselves and their guild first (or cater to the ultra-whales and put those rare listings). Now, of course, it's all expected, and if the game is fun and not completely unbalanced (especially in PvP), as you seem to say, then that level of P2W is simply what's unfortunately deemed "acceptable" nowadays. What is the actual gap in combat between a fully kitted player and an average player? Can skill make up for it?

But GW2 has a viable non p2w to get that same gear. And it has a linear gear system, once you have the best it's the highest tier forever. So it's a false comparison, also forgetting p2w has elements and degrees. It's all about the balance of in-game progression being closely viable than paying. Players won't mind if they have to just put in a sensible bit more time at the start to get going, as long as it's viable. GW2 for example, you can never swipe and get to a point you don't even need all the gold you're making for free.

NCSoft lied to us again. They said this game was not going to be P2W in order to suck in the F2Ps and now they are showing their true colors. This brand doesn't care about players and just wants to extract as much cash as possible as fast as it can, killing the golden goose. This stock is down 50% already in the past year for a good reason.
F2P players gonna be selling in the AH making bank on the in game currency so I don’t see the problem. F2P people have the chance to earn currency that has to be bought which is 🔥I’ll be playing
Its just so tiresome whenever I see people crying about P2W. You're playing a MMO for free my guy, if you don't want any form of P2W MMO's aren't for you. The game you're desiring so much is called Elden RIng.
Well, I will have to feel how the content feels before I see if the cash shop messes up the experience. What I mean back in the day BDO barely gave any inventory space so you had to swipe, but now you get so many you can live without swiping. So if content basically is locked in a way that you have to swipe you will feel it.
In short: The game is P2W. However for the first 1 month of the game being released the "gap" between F2P and P2W players may not be that wide. Though, once the auction house becomes more fleshed out with more listings of rarer items then those that pay will have a more of an advantage as they can just buy most items from the auction.
Do you need to grind alts on this game to keep up? Was tired of that crap in Lost Ark. Still seems like fact you can buy the premium currency for gold + bots gold selling it is most likely this game will have the same p2w issues as LA.

I think you are wrong , it is VERY pay to win. In my server I use the staff from Paola's chest, all the traits are available. I was lucky enough to get on my 2nd chest the heavy magic attack and bought the crit with lucent from Marketplace, of course I won't pay for this game so I am out of lucents but someone can literally get a weapon to max traits if the swipe. Moreover, there is a big wall in game with Sollant, that you can bypass by buying Epic Marids and sell them, blue ones give you I think around 500k Sollants. That means a swiper can get max rank their skills which is very important, and max rank full traits(in most pieces) for gear. In my server there is a tank(maybe more) who has 20k HP for the past 3 weeks. 3 of us attacked him with normal gear and couldn't even get him to 17k. So if someone willing to spend thousands of dollars they will be way ahead of everyone

Lost ark cured me from playing p2w games. It was the best most fair clearly straight up p2w game I've ever played but it still ended up feeling as a chore. The only MMO I've played that didn't give me that chore feeling so far is FFXIV but the combat and PVP is not as good as WOW if those two could have a baby, it would print money.
Not great, I wish precious stones weren't listed, but at the end of the day it's more of a catch-up pay to win used for eating guild leftovers.
as long as there is nothing in the cash shop that you cant get with any other way by playing then its all good
Is this on the KR servers? I'm so keen to play this game but it's not in the west yet right?
How does the gear upgrading work exactly? Is it like Lost ark where you farm mats for months and hope the rng doesnt screw you and you actually progress or do you farm the mats, click the item and it is 100% as long as you have the mats needed.
@chricky
7 ай бұрын
every click increases the bar to the next level by an amount specified by the current level of the gear and the "hit" you land on the score. You can get a common, good, greater and special hit where each will give you a percentage to the level-up. If you say that you just take the "common" roll into account, you can lay it out how many you would need max, but the pity system feels a lot smoother than games like LA. You will always have progress towards the level-up but it will most likely take more than a tap or two on higher levels
If dev sells gear, that is aggressive p2w. Because only dev makes money. And most players get nothing. But in TnL. Dev does not sell gear. In Market place transaction is between players. Tax is 20%. So 80% of money whale spends is distributed to other players. With that money free to players can buy gear. So eventually everybody sell and buy gear. This is mild p2w.
so you can either farm and grind or speed it up with money which is fine by me as in all modern games...apart from skills which is ok again
Didn't spend even 1 cent to this game. Only farm and sell on marketplace. 1 month - 63 items sold for over 14k lucent. Have blue-purple items full trait, 8-10lvl equipments upgrade. All purple skills. Dagger +great sword. Helpie server. Iron wolf guild!!

I like your thoughts, but u do waffle allot XD
there are already many free to players to make $200 amount of lucent by selling one purple drop item.
Why do Koreans like P2W so much?! It takes so much away from actually playing the game?
I’m never a competitive player so I don’t care for if a game is p2w or not. But of course I’m appreciate when is not. But being realistic here. The question was never if the TL would be p2w. But how much p2w it is. Same with every other mmo that has launched and will be launch. Apparently ff14 and guilds wars are good games on this aspects, but I didn’t like them much. 🤷🏻♀️
I wanna play it alreadyyy when is it coming to NA or LAS?
So its not immediately P2W... its bait-and-switch P2W. It'll be p2w once you're too invested to quit and so you'll just suck it up and deal with it until the next big mmo pulls you away?
What server are you on Kanon?
Trust, I’m only 5 minutes in the video and I’ve already learned we have to farm the shit out of items and traits to auction so we can scrounge for elite currency, and then he pulled up the settings and all I see is “battle pass” “premium levelling log” and a shit ton of “lucent for sale”, so you already know there’s going to be a ton of pay to win players just using real life money to purchase lucent while everyone else is grinding their asses off for items to auction for lucent 😂, I was literally going to buy this game on global release until I saw its pay to win options, I threw the entire idea of this game in the trash. I’ll continue browsing for a legitimate gaming experience.

While I agree with everything you said, this game isn't buy to play so you can't buy it to play. Of course there are shop packages that you can buy tho.
It's p2w but I've seen worse. If I can play the game and get strong anyways, I'm down for It. my only concern is that the game is heavy pvp oriented, This feels like Aion all over again

@ChoJun69 It was in the Financial report for 2023. They claim they are working on aion 2 and it will be for both PC and mobile. I'm sure they learned their lesson after T&L got shit on by their initial mobile focus features.
What will happen when lefendary gear releases and you'll need copies of each ? Only whales will be able to buy them off the market and if you don't get super lucky to drop one for yourself you'll hit a RNG wall. Doesn't this remind you of smth that's in Lost Ark ?
Is it not available to download to try out? I want to see the cute pets
Let's hope the western version will be less p2w..
It will be great if u explain how to get easy epic trait lvl4 through stacking blessing at rare weapon stage
Adding a currency exchange like gw2 (gems in gold). fixed. :D
If they dont increase caps too often its not that bad. There are way worse games where caps are virtually impossible to achieve and only swipers get there. Here it seems everyone can get to cap just slower which is fine with me. Yes its p2w but what isnt. You can buy gold in every game -.-
So the point is... without pay2win and swiping your card... can you actually get endgame equipment easily with the amount of currency you get from game activities or you get a very low amount and you must swipe or farm for years? That is the only important point. Because in Lost ark, BDO or any other like that, it does not matter that people swipe their card and get gear... because you can actually get everything, easily just by playing. But on the other hand, in Lineage 2 official(ncsoft), you get a ridiculous small amount of currency by playing, so low that you can´t even upgrade the lowest gear in months unless you pay2win. And that is what people actually want to know, in which side is Throne and Liberty?
This game will be like lost ark, at start F2P will be able to keep up with P2P but once level cap and gear progression is increased you will start seeing P2W players gapping even F2P veterans.
damn that's really p2w lol, rip.
how do i play this in america?
i just dont see what this game offers for it to be so p2w. why play this over bdo or new world which has better combat?
is lucent / sollant account wide?
What is the difference between critical hit and heavy attack and how do I see which of them I land on an enemy

Critical hit is hitting with the highest range your character has while heavy attack is hitting twice

Crit hit is chance. Heavy attack is when x2 pop ups
The " gold buying " for real money is basicly like World of Warcraft, but if stuff that is available to sell on the marketplace is able to be farmed unlimited amounts of times by gameplay, then it is no problem in my book. The real issue comes from stuff that is limited and only able to get more than a f2p player by swiping.
