In NCSoft’s upcoming MMORPG Throne and Liberty, the weather will have a major impact on you. It even changes some skills. We at MeinMMO summarize how the weather system works.

In Throne and Liberty, the sun can shine, rain can fall, and wind can blow from different directions. All of this affects your gameplay and the environment – monsters, dungeons, your skills and the environment change as a result.

The weather is not predictable, for example, you can be surprised by sudden rain. Developers NCSoft want players to adapt to, understand and take advantage of the environment in Throne and Liberty, as they explain in the Director’s Preview on the MMORPG’s website.

The weather can suddenly change everything

The ratio of sunny to rainy weather is said to be 8/2. If it rains, it should stay that way for at least 30 minutes (via Throne and Liberty News/Youtube). Players should also be able to read the wind speed in the user interface.

Let the weather affect your game like this:

  • Influence on your skills – For example, if you carry the staff and create lightning, they behave differently when it rains. The electricity reacts with the rainwater, hitting multiple enemies instead of just one.
  • Guns do more damage and can shoot further when the wind is at your back.
  • When it rains, low-lying parts of the environment fill with water. This can affect PvP battles, since you can no longer fight there, but have to swim.
  • Bosses drop different items depending on the weather.
  • Plant bosses have stronger regeneration when it rains.

    Different conditions at night

    There is also a day and night cycle. A cycle lasts 5 hours, 4 of which are during the day and one during the night. So you can plan better than with the weather situations.

    The developers are said to have chosen the 5-hour cycle so that players who log in at the same time every day do not always get the same in-game time. So if you only play for an hour a day and always do it at the same time, you are not always out and about in the dark.

    At night, some things in the area should also change. For example, there is said to be a werewolf boss that you meet in human form during the day and as a wolf at night. You have to defeat both of them in different ways and get different drops.
