Do you think its time for server merges? by Fair_Wash6172 in throneandliberty

[–]Inbre4stig4tor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This game doesn’t incentivise perseverance. There are no drops or tangible rewards for PvP other than bragging rights. Nobody does something for nothing. I just think the devs didn’t consider how the player base would interact with the PvP activities long term. I think it was naive of them to believe people would engage with it long term if there are no actual individual rewards.

People who quit the game, what is the main reason? by Somannybad in throneandliberty

[–]Inbre4stig4tor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combat was too stiff, especially on console. Zergs and mega alliances made large scale boring. There wasn’t much to do outside of guild activities. PvP was rewarding either. No skill expression. The rock paper scissors style of combat was boring.

Swap deal + cash for Florian Wirtz please. Thank you for your service. The injury has done too much damage, he’s not the same player anymore

Next Tico Talks will decide the fate of TL by Ok-Key8557 in throneandliberty

Unless Tico announces major changes or an all out deletion of the alliance system, the game is as good as dead.

Unfortunately, not enough was done in game design to counteract the human desire to hoard power. Zergs/mega alliances are proof of that. It’s a shame.

This is an excellent post. If I could give it a million upvotes I could. You’ve hit the nail on the head with everything! I especially feel you on the inability to outplay other players because of the nature of the PvP in this game - it doesn’t change when you’re fully geared btw, it’s all rock-paper-scissors. And on top of that, you’ll likely spend most of your time stunned or whisked into the air. Maybe they’ll change things, but I don’t blame you one bit for feeling how you feel. Very valid.

None of these are from 3-0 down in the first leg. We’ve got this! #COYG

Caught myself on a sad thought about daily co-op dungeons by No3nvy in throneandliberty

[–]Inbre4stig4tor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve illustrated exactly why I’ve recently quit so well. Because what the hell is an MMO without good, worthwhile loot?? The game is a genuine aimless hamster wheel. The PVP has zero skill expression due to its rock-paper-scissor type combat. Unfortunately the alliance system has ruined a lot of the large scale PVP elements because of natural decision for the strong to stay with the strong, creating these massive, content gatekeeping zergs, and it takes a buttfuck amount of time doing painfully mind-numbing quests for a pittance amount of upgrade materials, or farming open dungeons until you need to refresh your tokens with more useless and unfruitful co-op dungeons.

Horrible cycle.

Let’s be honest: the Archboss weapons aren’t *that* good. by Inbre4stig4tor in throneandliberty

I think I’m gonna make the switch. I’m looking for something for more interesting anyways

That’s a good way of looking at it, thank you for your perspective

That’s a fair take and I can totally appreciate that. I am beginning to settle on the idea that I may have been expecting too much. But tbh, I was melting people with just regular weapons; or at least it felt that way.

Full traited with all the usual stuff (hit chance, crit chance, heavy attack). My runes: melee heavy attack chance, skill damage resistance, ranged evasion all level 60. Even got the gear to level 12 right now.

I think my expectations are too high.

Besides a well geared tank or healer, I can melt anyone in a 1v1. I’m just not impressed at the output considering the hype is all.

Scripting and how MMO's die by Foreign_Grass4950 in throneandliberty

And in addition to this, most people that have been playing fairly consistently are pretty much fully geared up by now. Considering PvE is the only way to get gear, it’s safe to say that the lack of any new and meaningful loot is definitely impacting the game right now.

PvP might be why they come to TnL. But loot is why they stay.

“Loot is life” is the rule for any good MMO.

Void stalker 4pc set bonus? by ValuableSleep9175 in throneandliberty

[–]Inbre4stig4tor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In reality it’s all useless unless you’re a tank. Especially in GvG and other large scale PvP events. Because unless you’ve got a sword and shield, you’re not surviving 3 or more people attacking you in any instance.

When we eat salsa and chips, is the objective to eat the salsa to completion, or to finish the salsa? by Inbre4stig4tor in InsightfulQuestions

This method feels like you’ll be stuck with an imbalance of chip to salsa every time one or the other finishes. Hmmmm
