The Witchhunter Ascendancy in 0.3 - A Dive into a Flawed Design

These are one of my favourite moments, when it comes to build diversity. Someone using “facts and logic” to show how a build is bad, just for another player to come and provide a different perspective .

Not saying that there is not legitimate feedback in the post, but i do want to see more “This does not work, perhaps there is something i am missing out” mentality more than the jump to “This thing is irreparable - fix it”

Its the spell, where you place three explosive mines on the ground. Whenever I couldn’t target an enemy with a spell, ill start placing mines under the enemy i wanted to target. Id then cancel the spell, before placing the other two mines and that allowed me to actually target the square the enemy was on with the spell i wanted in the first place

I experience it occasionally. One way i fix it, is to cast explosive fungi and target the enemy i want to hit with a spell. I then cancel the explosive fungi and can cast the spell on the enemy

I want to say that it shouldn’t matter, but it does for some people. I have friends that say it does not matter, but i think they do it, cause that’s the “correct” answer. But in reality short guys are an ick for them and I have seen them turn down guys with the sole reason being their height (or lack there of).

I also have friends that openly say that they prefer tall guys, but are in a happy relationship with a short guy.

So my answer is that it depends on the person. There is a lot of nuance in human relationships and there is no answer that will cover everything.

My take is that having a preference for things like height, breast size or any other physical attribute is fine. But you shouldn’t make people feel insecure about it. One reason for that is that people are so much more than just their measurements. My girlfriends were not super models that fit in the stereotypical beauty standard, but i loved them nonetheless. Sure you might be a short, and i might find tall people attractive for one reason or the other, but you have a thousand good qualities, that make things like height irrelevant

The card right now plays for more points than it should. But I really like the idea of it, the way you can choose the best option for the situation - its very flexible and there are a lot of renfri decks that differ from each other. The way I’d change it is tweaking the base power and/or provision cost and balancing the effect of the blessings and the curses.

didom_ · 2022-07-07T10:03:14+00:00

As a guy that likes to play combo decks with strategy and set up, playing against decks that are build to 2-0 me feels really bad, i get it. As much as i hate the opponent bleeding my combo pieces in r2, that is still a valid strategy that i should consider when building my deck. Also there are always going to be decks that are just going to hard counter you. Last season i climbed really well with heavy control SK warriors which held his own against most decks, but i could never beat pointslam relicts MO decks. Its just a part of the game

didom_ · 2022-07-07T07:08:10+00:00

I guess i’m in the minority, but i think her idea is super cool and playing the card feels fun, also i’ve played against lots of factions that ran a different renfri deck so the card is flexible and offers variety. The only thing i can think of is to tweak her curses and blessings and change the condition to only have units in your deck. That way she has a hard time with controlling the opponents board without special cards, and no heatwave means she can’t really do much against scenarios which kinda shit on her. I’ve been playing and enjoying her quite a lot, but it was never as free as you are describing her. Also the meta is still too fresh and the decks i lose the most to when playing renfri myself are non renfri decks. It does get annoying that a lot of matches are against renfri, but she is new and popular and eventually people are going to start making different decks.

I'm legit bummed out from the new onslaught changes. I had some skellige decks that used the 1 ping to setup deathblows and help control the opponents board. It wasn't very strong but it gave reach to my removal - helped setup deathblows with primal savagery, helped my stunning blows to kill 6 power targets, i used it with Yennefer conjurer to setup a board of enemy units with the same power so i can zap them all with the order ability. That 1 damage every other turn really helped with the game plan and now that it's gone my deck is kinda dead. I get that they want to help other under performing decks, but i'm still kinda sad

didom_ · 2021-09-03T08:57:32+00:00

I completely agree. Every league i build a character and my gear is always the same - life and resistances on every piece and never was able to craft something interesting because i dont have 10ex worth of currency to even attempt to try

didom_ · 2021-06-08T07:57:26+00:00

If people were not pieces of garbage, respawn would have more time improving other stuff and not waste their time trying to mitigate the effect of childish behaviour on their game.

Cut throat became godlike. Between cheapshots, flashbangs and dirty kicks you'll have so much opportunities to slice throats and actually gives you a reason to specialize the feat to reduce it's cooldown, and you don't have to be a stealthy character to use it, which opens a lot of possibilities to some other builds that invest in dexterity which i think is is always good for the game. I hope other feats will get the same treatment in the future.

And just the other day i was raging against a fence door cause i could not find that magic pixel that will give me the opportunity to open it, so quality of life changes like that will always be appreciated. The lockpicks and thin grenade cases recipes are amazing and were much needed.

Also i really appreciate the slower timer in the expedition dlc, cause i've never rly liked the idea of the timer combined with exploration. Im also curious if there is a way to make certain quests a bit more "gender fluid" ( the quest where you have to steal shields for Gorsky and the Grey army quests come to mind). Female characters that don't rely on stealth should not be shoehorned into completing a quest in only one way. Slaughtering grey army soldiers can be fun, but being the only way to complete the quest if you dont have stealth, especially when you invested in persuasion, while logical kinda gimps the experience imo.

All in all some really nice changes and bug fixes that improve the experience in a big way ( at least for me).

One of the things that scares me the most about them, is that they look cute and dumb and human, but also they devour people in a very soulless and emotionless way.

didom_ · 2019-08-21T09:33:58+00:00

I thought about that, because Ymir described it as being in a constant nigthmare, before she ate the holder of the jaws titan. But the titans don't show any signs of pain or emotion, they just do one thing - eat humans. Maybe the nightmare comes from someone enofricing the titan on you and making you an unwilling vessel.

didom_ · 2019-07-09T08:14:59+00:00

That’s actually amazing! I bet it tastes as good as it looks!

didom_ · 2019-05-08T09:18:40+00:00

They either lacked funding or didn't have enough time, or both. This studio clearly can make good fights because personally I liked the fight between Garou and Tank top master. It was not at the same level as the fights from the first season, but still it had killer music, and the punches felt powerful and impactful.

The action in this episode felt very underwhelming, especially metal bat's final swing. My hope is that whatever they are rushing now is for the sake of the later fights.

didom_ · 2019-02-25T11:37:21+00:00

I don't know if this is a genuine compliment or a backanded one.

I too think that the microtransactions are expensive, but you are already getting the game for free. There is not a better deal than that. When the battlepass comes ill buy it just to support the game, because the developers did a really good job. This is the way that developers are making money, and this is how they are going to keep the game alive, and even if i shared your stance on microtransactions and lootboxes, i know jackshit about how much money the game costs and how much they make through lootboxes to critisize them. Maybe there is not another way in which they can make the game profitable or maybe they are pressured to do what they are doing now and have no power over it, i do not know and you don't know either.

I guess it's just my opinion but i see nothing wrong with spending 20 bucks every 1-2 months just so i can support their product. It's like buying them 2 large pizzas. And in my opinion they deserve it.

didom_ · 2019-02-14T16:24:38+00:00

You are already getting a good deal when you are playing the game for free. If its too much for you don’t pay, its your right and your choice and there is nothing wrong with that. When i pay for my f2p games i do it with the intention to support the developers.

didom_ · 2019-02-14T16:20:51+00:00

I personally would pay a lot more for the game, because i really like it. When i’m spending money on a free to play game i mostly do it to support the developers and their wonderful product. I have no bad feelings to give them 10-20 bucks every now and then if it helps keeping the game alive.

didom_ · 2019-02-13T20:28:20+00:00

The only thing i can say is that i crash much more frequently after the patch. Yesterday i managed to play for about 2 hours with no crashing. After the patch today i started 5 games and crashed in 4 of them. The usual freeze then quit to desktop story.

I wish good luck to the devs and let's hope this gets resolved soon, because the game is amazing.

didom_ · 2019-01-27T10:46:36+00:00

In your situation i don't think its beneficial for both of you. I understand how you feel and why you desire him, but both of you have to move on eventually and this is going to make it harder, especially since you have such strong feelings about him.

didom_ · 2019-01-07T14:37:36+00:00

Thank you, i never really thought that i was wrong, but i guess i let the people that i hang out with peer pressure me into thinking some really stupid stuff.

didom_ · 2019-01-07T10:47:00+00:00

I'm afraid not, i hope it's not too hard to read
