There are a ton of different ways for players to customize their experience in Throne and Liberty, and one of the most significant methods is choosing between two different camera modes. These two modes, Classic and Action, offer different ways for players to experience the game and it's moment-to-moment action. While it may be assumed to not offer that much of a difference, the two modes actually do differ enough to almost feel like different kinds of games.

Knowing the differences between the two is critical to crafting your ideal experience in this MMO. This guide is here to help explain the differences between the Classic and Action camera modes in Throne and Liberty.

What Is Classic Mode In Throne And Liberty?

Throne and Liberty - Classic Mode

The first mode, and what the game defaults to, is Classic Mode, which brings a more familiar MMO camera feel to the game. It is similar to how a game like World of Warcraft would play, and it gives players much more precise control of the game.

In Classic Mode, the camera remains fixed (unless the player clicks and drags the mouse to turn it). In doing this, the cursor will always be active and allow players to select the different elements on the HUD much more easily. Players can click on different enemies to target them and then click on the toolbar to choose which ability or attack they want to use.

With the camera fixed, Classic Mode gives a much more watchful view of the battlefield at all times and offers up a more strategic feel to combat. Classic mode is great for players who favor tactical precision over immersion.

It suits best to have the camera pulled back from the character more in this mode to get a better view of the battlefield.

What Is Action Mode In Throne And Liberty?

Throne and Liberty - Action Mode

Action Mode, on the other hand, is much more, well, action-oriented. It strips away constant control of the cursor to allow the mouse or right stick to control the camera at all times. As players move the stick, so will the camera move with it.

This makes the moment-to-moment gameplay feel more fluid, though it takes away the player's ability to be precise in their overall HUD interactions. This mode is more about keeping the action going, only occasionally using the HUD when necessary.

The target of attacks is going to be dependent on where the crosshair is, rather than the mouse cursor.

Players who choose this camera mode are going to use their number keys to use their abilities more often. They'll also have more control over their weapons and attacks.

This mode is best suited for having the camera zoomed in closer to the character, like a typical third-person action game, to be closer to the action.

Which Camera Mode Should Players Choose?

Throne and Liberty - Classic vs. Action

Largely, this comes down to personal preference and how a player wants to experience the game. However, Action Mode might have a slight edge over Classic.

The snappier controls and ability to have more control over each attack just feels good. While Classic mode may enable better strategy and tactics, Action is just more fun to play overall. It truly feels like how the game should be played.

Luckily, players can switch between the two through the game's Settings menu at any point, so they can and should play around with both options until they find what works for them.
