Asmongold Declares “Throne and Liberty” Dead: What Went Wrong?

[GermanBarbarian]

In a recent stream, popular Twitch streamer Asmongold didn’t mince words when he declared “Throne and Liberty” as a dead game. Here are the key reasons he cited for this harsh verdict:

Declining Player Base: Asmongold pointed out that the game’s player base has been steadily declining since its launch. He mentioned that the servers often feel empty, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find groups for content.

Lack of Content Updates: One of the major issues Asmongold highlighted was the lack of meaningful content updates. He expressed frustration that the developers have not introduced new and engaging content to keep players interested.

Persistent Technical Issues: Despite initial promises, the game continues to suffer from technical issues. Asmongold noted that frequent disconnections, bugs, and performance problems have driven many players away.

Unbalanced Gameplay: The game’s balance issues have also contributed to its downfall. Asmongold criticized the developers for not addressing the pay-to-win elements and unbalanced mechanics that have made the game less enjoyable for many players.

Community Discontent: Asmongold emphasized that the community’s overall sentiment towards the game has turned negative. Many players feel that their feedback is being ignored, leading to a sense of frustration and abandonment.

In conclusion, Asmongold believes that “Throne and Liberty” has failed to live up to its potential and has lost the trust of its player base. While there may still be a small group of dedicated players, he feels that the game is unlikely to recover from its current state.

MMORPG in general its a dying genre, people nowadays just get bored really fast from playing the same game... so many games to play to stick just with one, and MMORPGs requires a lot of time to invest.

thats just wrong

We have

GuildWars 2
WoW Retail + Classic
Albion
EvE Online
BDO
New World
ESO
LOTRO
SWTOR
Runescape
Lost Ark

and semi MMO's like Warframe, Destiny 2, etc.

i actually played all of them
and all of them are just doing perfectly fine, none of them are "dead" or "dying"

login in any of the games on the list and you will see servers packed and filled with people everywhere, constant content updates and regular expansions releasing

all of those games are financially successfull and alive and going

people are just stupid and judge games by their steam numbers when in reality most MMOs on the list have their majority of playerbase in non steam version

The developers don't listen to you. Ncsoft is the developer you have power to speak at Amazon only.... Preaty much it's hopeless

Didn't he state near launch it was near a 10/10? Though his opinion does have weight, it's only because a streamer like that will be carried by their horde of followers in any game. If asmongold hit any kind of difficulty/problem playing the game with his horde there to remove every barrier for him, then imagine how much trouble the average player will have.

Either way most streamers were praising the game as the next big thing around launch anyway..their opinions do not, and will never reflect the experience of an average player.

I don't normally care what Streamers think but this one is correct, My server had such massive burnout after my 8th guild just giving up on the game and doing something else i stopped playing.

You get locked outta a lotta content if you arent able to do guild raid, you need to be in guild for a week to do it. Having to swap guilds CONSTANTLY is not fun. If you didn't get a top 10 Guild odds are they will quit when they can't get a boonstone or can't interact in Conflict stuff (Due to incompetency) but blamed on "b-buh the zerg"

The game is catered to DPS & Zerg mentality, If you're a tank you'll have a miserable time gearing. Tank can be fun in PvP but you gotta build SPECIFICALLY For it. Meanwhile, DPS Can just randomly throw stuff on hotbar and be efficient at PvP.

The balance is a joke.

PvE to an extent is fun till you run the same stuff for the 50th time.

My last guild RQ Cause they couldn't win Boonstone combat, Blamed Zerg, Then migrated to New World. Last 7ish all just cried about World boss stuff and RQ, Lots of ways to avoid but cause they can't faceroll they RQ.

That's why i don't think this game will last, People can't Faceroll the primary content (PvP) so after castle siege it'll probably die.

Are they to blame?
It is actually my main concern with games that focus to much on giving top guilds huge benefits, it just makes rest of players feel like pesant who do not belong into game, I would understand if there would be good counter design, like proper alliance system or something to shake the balance, there is nothing to shake it and question power, you must go way beyond your means to form any counter to it. If power can not be questioned, then there is nothing to fight for.

People still don't realize that the casual playerbase drives your game into a success and not the sweaty top guilds which are a minority ?

When you build a game around the biggest/powerful blob that gaketeeps content for the masses you end up with a dead game which is the direction we are heading on right now.

Game is just trash stuned dead stunned dead stunned dead stunned dead and thats throne of liberty for ya lol

[bakedbob]

pvp made me lose all interest , actually the dagger stun when you get chained around made me not play thi agnymore , because why grind pve , if end content will be pvp with guild , why get more power? if its only needed to be the strongest in pvp area.. also other half of map didnt unlock in 1 month .. so i just felt the lack of content and left the game bee , (not unninstalled yet) but if there nothing to come for i will .. also got in a guild that has 70 players but 10 online .. so yeah do the math yourself this poor game is dying because of lack of content.. its getting boring for people to just mash buttons
