The pre-configured settings in Throne and Liberty can lead to obstacles in gameplay. We will show you which settings you should change to enhance your gaming experience.
Settings you should change: The following pre-set configurations are not entirely in the spirit of the players and could slightly deteriorate your gaming experience:
- cumbersome key bindings
- automatic movements are generally disabled
- traps is set
- Lock-On is disabled
With our recommendations, you can improve your gaming experience. Using the table of contents, you can jump to the points that interest you.
How to modify the settings
Blocking, Attacks, and Abilities
- Blocking: Blocking is defaulted to Q, which can be somewhat cumbersome because you have to hold the key down continuously, limiting your movement. Assign blocking under “Keybindings”, then “Character”, to a different key. We recommend using one of the mouse buttons, such as Mouse 3, 4, or 5.
- Queue abilities: Allows you to queue your cast abilities so they are cast one after the other. Attacks for which there is currently no mana available will be cast as soon as there is enough. Adjust this under “Gameplay”, then “Controls”.
- Ability bar: This is suboptimally set at the start. The keys 9 or 0 will be hard to reach comfortably during combat. Go to “Keybindings” and then edit the Quick Slots 1 to 10. You can place your most powerful five abilities on numbers 1 to 5 and the remaining ones can be set with a different key in combination, e.g.: For spell number 7, press [Shift] + [2].
- Lock-On: The Lock-On feature is also helpful. It is located under “Gameplay” and then “Controls”, then “Targeted abilities will engage the current target”. This allows you to move around during your AOE attack.
- Lock-On afterwards: After an enemy dies, the next one is automatically targeted. You can set this under “Gameplay”, “Target”. Just activate “Auto-target the nearest enemy when attacking without a target”.
(Automatic) Movements
Under “Gameplay”, then “Controls”, you should activate the following settings:
- Automatically move within range to attack a target: If you are out of the range of an attack, your character will automatically run towards the enemy and cast the ability or attack.
- Automatically move within range for supportive abilities: If you are out of range of an ability that boosts or heals you or your teammates, your character will automatically move to where the ability can be applied.
- Left mouse button to run: If you don’t want to use WASD to move, you can do so with a left-click instead.
- Disable falling: Under “Gameplay”, then “Controls”, you can set it so that you cannot accidentally fall from heights. However, you can still jump down. Important to note: This setting is overridden by the auto-movement.
Disable Quick Info
Under Settings → Gameplay → UI → Quick Selection – Show Quick Info, you can hide the descriptions of the skills, so they are no longer displayed in combat (and take up space) when you activate certain abilities with the mouse.
Visual Effects
There are also some visual effects that you can modify:
- Camera Shake: You can disable camera shake under “Gameplay”, then “Camera”. Alternatively, you might just reduce the intensity.
- Photo Sensitivity: Especially for people sensitive to strong visual effects, the settings under Accessibility are important. Under “Screen”, you can adjust the photo sensitivity. The other settings under this tab are also very helpful.
