Yeah, indeed a nice review. It is P2W like Lost Ark, but he mentioned that this game is PvP focused. And if I understood it correctly, the PvP is not gear normalized, which means the p2w affects a f2p player in a more negative way in this game than in Lost Ark right?

The reason why he said that it is not as bad as Lost Ark is due to no item lvl gating. You can access the entire content despite of your gear lvl unlike Lost Ark.

@@adtechs2888 While is true that P2W in a PvP focused game is definetly more threatening, it looks like the F2P player is able to get geared at a very reasonable time in this game, specially if we compare it to other P2W MMOs where F2P players get cucked eternally.

@@ANTHRAD The base gear can be bought or acquired easily, you are right. But upgrading it to max takes months for a casual player based on other p2w reviews. According to this and other videos, there is a penalty for dying which stacks. To get rid of it, you need to pay an in game currency which you can run out of easily as a casual player since that currency is also needed for various other activities. On top of the pvp zones and gvg, open world dungeons turn during specific in-game times into open pvp zones. So you either survive or avoid the dungeons until it is over.

"people are too mentally challenged" - the wizard LOL

I can confirm the part about it being cock&balls torture and it feeling like misery if playing as two. I was the only other guy in the guild Divium Furor and it was misery.

most honest wizard out there ♥

Spot on. I wish you would have talked a bit more about the game mechanics cause there's some things I think are worth highlighting, but ye idk Kanon was high on copium when he said you couldn't swipe for upgrades.

Thanks Divium Furor for your kind explanation. I wish everybody Happy New Year !!!!! Have a good time with the Throne and Liberty (awesome game)

The Great Finek himself! I am glad to see you are doing well! Happy New Year upfront!

Fantastic video and review, thanks! I love your honesty and no BS delivery. I am a fan! Looking forward to catching your streams 😎👍

Thank You for Your honest and trustworthy review. Btw Kanon has ceased to be credible to me since I noticed that it praises everything that brings financial benefits to it.

As per usual a great video! Hope you'll explode next year and hit 100k at least! :D

I wonder if thoses youtuber are really that bad at mmo/video game to not see any work around that was created specifically so that whale can still p2w .. or if they are just shills Surely they have to be dogshit at the game to not see this right? SO if they are just barely competent: it has to be malicious/lie

i am so confused why mmos do not monetize cosmetics instead of power. i bet they could make insane money just by selling cahracter and mount skins that do not effect in game power.

Most mmos have a short lifespan where they are really popular. Selling power/convenience is the easiest way to cash grab. Believe it or not, developing good cosmetics takes a lot more effort. People really underestimate the creative process where most of the time is spent.

It's amazing that Korean MMOs afficionados streamers always seem to downplay the severity of pay-to-win mechanics in every MMO they cover. It's like they're in cahoots with every Korean P2W MMO out there. They constantly try to brush off how bad it really is, making excuses left and right, but the truth is, they all suffer from the same predatory systems. And let's not kid ourselves, having a mansion, indulging in the finest cuisine, driving luxury cars, and accessing top-notch healthcare at a snap of your fingers is just convenience :) - it's a clear advantage. Sure, you can grind endlessly to attain these perks, but what's often overlooked is that these KZreadrs typically compare the power and convenience gap between those who spend real money and those who don't, completely ignoring the fact that many paying players also put in the same amount of grind. It's high time they consider this aspect too. Glad we have our Wizard to debunk these "experts".

To eb fair this game looks incredible but the Pay 2 win model absolutely kills it. Such a shame

I hardly doubt they will change the monetization. Will still go if guild goes though because of the guild centric nature of the game.

I've been playing since day one with being in number one guild. I can confirm that what he said are very true and real and also needed fix otherwise, it will be dead on arrival.

Thanks for the video! Good job and happy new year! (Ill probably skip Throne and Liberty as of now)

Thank you

Thank you for the review, I think I will not try this game. I end up playing most games as single player, I am not a whale, and i don't like cactus in me as lost ark has left a bitter taste in my mouth.

It's interesting that they force you to play with people, it is a good thing, a lot of older MMOs had this approach where soloing stuff was only possible with peak gear and as a new player was impossible and this kind of thing was the most memorable, people were too used to solo play nowadays, especially those that didn't have IRL friends to play with but I doubt this would work that well globally, we'll have to see.

But how those linage I and linage || more players then lineage 3??

Happy New Year Wizard!!! Thank you again for another banger video. Great insight on T&L, not liking the P2W at all tbh.

Thx wizard

How the trailer looks nice and then in game, you can never find this kind of atmosphere, everything looks worse graphics-wise, the landscape is sooooo monotonous, and the absence of the holy trinity system and not having a dodge just killed the combat for me. Here is hoping for Chrono Odyssey

*Played many KOREAN MMORPGs through the years and even tried Throne of Liberty, I can honestly say:* *If you want to be Competitive or even Keep-Up, you need to play it like a 2nd Job or Pay(preferably both).* *The sad reality is that the Rich and Powerful get more rewards and faster progress than F2P or Low-spenders.* *Korean games are not designed to be fair, they are designed to make you want to spend more and more money.*

theres is no kill 200 monster daily

no boobslider and humans as only playable race. -> not going to play it.

Hello!wizard!thank you for the video, I think this is really good.. but i hope maybe you can consider like adding the russia wizard to your channel name or other thing.. sometime when i saw on your name i really dont rememeber its your channel..and end up skipping it.. I was really excited when i click a ramdom video and found out it was you.. i wonder if there is more people forgot your name and only remember you as the russian wizard..

It's actually so sad that this is what the awaited L2 successor turned out to be. 15 years (announced in 2009) wait for NCsoft to rework the game 5 times and still come out full P2W with lesser combat than L2 in my opinion. It's not even that NCsoft isn't liked in Korea, no one likes NCsoft anywhere on the planet because they take amazing games and turn them into FOMO P2W trash. I think I played almost every MMO that came out since 2001 and the genre as a whole is degrading instead of improving. This game's content is looking very good, but the problem is that the game feels lifeless, maybe it's because it's only in Korea atm but it doesn't feel like a full MMO experience. Anyway great video as always wizard.

It is possible to convert. You can literally buy an epic gem, break it down to green tier and craft back up into epic growthstones. This process needs sollant. But guess what, 1 epic marind is 400k+ sollant for 150 lucent. You can do the conversion for armor and weapon also. Break down till blue will give - 2 growthstones instead of 1. Till green - 8 instead of 1. Till white - 20 instead of 1. Or you can just buy white gems and craft them up until purple. This is more lucent heavy though.

There are no pros

i will watch this with a grain of salt as it should be done with any content emanating from a Lost Ark enthusiast EDIT : This was a good review, thank you for the insight

You need grouping for dailies? lmao pass, i understand this is an mmo but requiring people to do everyday activities is just too much.

My man, I may have not believed you back in the day with lost ark until I saw it myself but now Im taking your advice and staying away from this sht until I have proof they remove p2w

well, life is pay to win. Its not that bad tbh. The items in the market are posted by the players.

Why are you assessing P2W elements on a KOREAN version? Makes no sense, because Koreans are known for LOVING and WANTING p2w. Global releases are going to be much less P2W.

It is just another asian mmo with cluttered UI, endless boring quests, multiple currencies, complicated crafting, boring grinding and p2w ofc. I dont think any asian mmo is worth wasting time. I guess most players are just driven by sentimental memories of playing good old mmos.

Another NC cash grab online? Shocking!!......not.

Quick recap -TL is dumbed down pre free to play Lineage 2 with better graphics and less P2W than modern Lineage 2. So not great not terrible.

Love you

no booba 🥲?well if the other part of the game is good iam ok with that.
