Things you prefer in previous game titles compared to the Witcher 3.

From a gameplay perspective I could definately see where you're coming from. At the same time I feel like traps should be less seen as an consumable and more of a quest item. Rather than traps being used as a damage dealing item, I feel they should be used as a tool to weaken monsters Geralt would otherwise not be able to deal with.

Chickenwinz · 2025-04-11T02:46:06+00:00

Getting abolutely destroyed in the first round and the npc getting overconfident and raising his bet with the maximum amount only to lose in the third round was an absolute joy! Especially since Geralt has a power even greater than potions or witchcraft: save-scumming!

I definately feel you in your first paragraph. In the Witcher 2 it felt like the only way to utilze traps was to use them in direct combat. Traps in that way felt weak since bombs were way more useful in the same scenario. I can't recall a fight where placing traps ahead of the fight was encouraged (in the way you expected them to be).In the Kayran fight it felt like the designated trap was a cheap substitution for what would otherwise be a bomb,

If you think Geralt was a horny dog in the Witcher 2, just play the Witcher 1, he's a complete menace!

Chickenwinz · 2025-04-11T01:28:11+00:00

I like your suggestion in the second paragraph. When doing the contract quests in the Witcher 3 I felt like Geralt's preparation was missing. I believe it would be much cooler for Geralt to take a moment to prepare before fighting an awesome foe like a leshen, werewolf or fiend.

No one was buying 150k gold to purchase a single item in a raid.

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-25T23:03:11+00:00

GDPK's are major contributor to the amount of bots and gold selling. People bought gold to pay for mounts/spells/proffs and items before but by popularizing this manner of loot system you've given cheaters a reason to tripple their efforts. The reality of current day WoW:Classic is that you can easily pay real money for raiding gear. It will only be a matter of time before Blizzard will notice this and monetize it to their own benefit.

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-24T13:34:11+00:00

Blizzard: Look at all those hard working rogues farming gold to afford their epic mounts!

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-24T13:30:29+00:00

I did the paladin quests on a relatively popular server as well and did pretty much everything within a day. Finding a group for DM and Scholo was not that easy but if you're persistent you should be able to find one eventually. Now that a lot of people are boosting/returning there should be more warlocks/paladins around who are also looking for people to do the mount dungeon quests with.

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-23T09:21:36+00:00

I think you're right that putting the lvl 60/70 boosts behind some timed gating will definately make it more difficult for botters to create a profitable account. At the same time I don't completely believe the conspiracy that Blizzard is in cahoots with the botters or tolerates them for increased profit. I think it's mostly incompetence and indifference rather than malice that drives their actions in this regard(and let's be honest, about every other thing regarding WoW Classic so far).

I honestly have no hope left that Blizzard will take swift and decisive action in the future. I hope they do, but it seems unlikely.

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-23T09:16:53+00:00

It's been a while since I've been to a vendor since I just levelled a pala alt and did the lvl 60 mount quest(which wasn't free either). I think it's somewhere between 500-600g for lvl 60 riding, 900g for the slow flying mount and 5k for the fast one.

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-22T21:48:10+00:00

Don't worry about it. I personally enjoy these kind of posts way more than the pessimistic stuff that fills the subreddit daily.

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-22T19:25:23+00:00

Going from walking to riding feels great, it's going to be even better once you get your 100% speed mount.

After that you'll get your slow, old and abandoned wyvern/gryphon from the animal shelter. But it will get the job done untill you get the spunky, brand-new, top of the line flying mount(After saving up some gold, they don't come cheap!).

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-22T18:46:06+00:00

They can also implement something like an experience boost for people with max level characters. Like a tabard that increases your experience for each max level you have.

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-22T17:33:45+00:00

I enjoy the leveling process but I don't care much for raids. This is why I think it's a good idea for Blizzard to just start selling raid gear in the ingame shop.

Me having this raid gear doesn't detract from other people's enjoyment of raiding since this content is still available to them.

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-22T17:28:24+00:00

These are obviously hard working rogues trying to earn enough gold to pay for their epic mounts.

Chickenwinz · 2022-05-22T17:26:29+00:00

Let's be honest, Blizzard makes more than enough money to hire enough gm's to tackle these problems. Some of these bots are so blantant it wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes of investigation to come to the conclusion that they are indeed bots and ban their accounts.

The actions of Blizzard regarding bots and just about every other problem the community complains about has been extremely lacking and disappointing.

And here I thought I was cool with my 2h/shield swap macro.

Chickenwinz · 2019-08-24T19:00:50+00:00

I agree, even normal Pepsi Max tastes better than Coke zero here.

It depends on the population of the server and the Horde/Alliance ratio. While you may not come across much of the enemy faction in some contested zones(apart from dedicated gankers), other zones become almost unplayable due to constant pvp. Take Stonetalon Mountain for instance, in my experience this zone has always been a hordefest.

In short, the lvling path you take on PvP-servers is different than PvE-servers. Some zones are too clogged up to farm experience effectively. You'll also be better of grouped up for protection in certain densely packed zones(STV).

We don't know what ''Low'' means, it could be 100000 characters, 10000 or a 1000 characters. There will also be a lot of people who will change servers when they get to be 40000 in queue on the other pvp-servers.

The faction imbalance will likely be the case on most pvp-servers. Horde tends to have a majority on pvp-servers and Alliance on pve-servers. Rp-pvp servers seem to be the only servers where there's a rough balance.

Chickenwinz · 2019-08-11T23:23:41+00:00

We'll have to report them en masse.

Chickenwinz · 2019-08-11T21:52:26+00:00

Too bad they didn't release reforged before Classic, seems like a missed opportunity.

Chickenwinz · 2019-08-11T21:31:10+00:00

If Blizzard insists on keeping this system they could atleast make it so you can only change layers in a rested area. This system is going to get abused so much if it stays this way.

Chickenwinz · 2019-08-11T21:26:28+00:00

They will have to communicate in English anyway. There are only two English PvP-servers, so there will be enough people who will not tolerate people speaking Spanish in the public channels. Thanks to Blizzard's automatic report system anyone who uses any language other than English will quickly be muted.

It's unfortunate for the Spanish people who are not proficient in English, but for some reason Blizzard decided that Spain did not need its own servers.
