EA's hunger for devouring good devs has grown so large that only the best of the best can sate it now.

I thought CD Projekt Red was a subsidiary of CD Projekt, the Polish distributor and producer. Have they been spun off as a wholly separate company?

My other decent deck is a Monster Weather deck whose only weakness seems to be decks running 3 clear weathers and Dime bombs, or other monster weather decks that have luckier draws. It feels like a pretty good game, and if nothing else offering something that isn't based around Magic/Hearthstone play.

Jerusalem posted:Out of curiosity, if you played a frost card on that what would the score be? They would all be dropped to 1, but there's like 50+ cards there, so around 50? The funny thing is, if the opponent plays their frost card before any of the card multipliers are played, it would make that play useless, as the multipliers ignore weather effects. You can't count on playing those cards last though, because if they have a Lacerate card it will kill every single one of the breedable cards (Nekker, Arachas, etc.) at base health on that row... Like I said, it's a risky play. Also, currently, the Monster's Nest card has a bugged effect that not only doubles the breedable cards on the board, but also pulls the available breedable cards out of the deck too., which means you can use an extra slot in your hand for something more useful than having a duplicate of one of your breedable cards.

When you copy a Unit that has an ability/mechanic, that copy will also trigger the ability or mechanic, this how Foltest works.NR player plays Poor Infantry which has the mechanic of spawning an additional infantry unit, then using Foltest you copy the Poor Infantry which also spawns an additional Infantry unit, leaving you with four 3 power Units on board. The Arachas-Behemoth variation of the Breed Monster Deck has even more ability to create an even bigger number of units. As you use the Nekker Warrior, then the Ekkimaras to trigger the Behemoth to spawn more Arachas. The Foglet version is also kinda fun, though with a lot less monster on boards, but an army of creatures that your opponent can never seem to get rid of.

Oh, of course it's not a bug,, I didn't think about it like that! I'm away from my computer right now, but instead of using Ekkimara's and Behemoth's to breed more, I'm luring in the first round with the (can't remember their names) 5 power rock monster that creates breedable lvl. 1 minions when removed from the board. That sets you up with a chance to outright win in the first round OR even more breedables in the second round.

The Earth Elemental, which works like the Golem, but instead of 2x lvl 1 unit it leaves behind 2 x lvl 2 Units, then the Fire Elemental that spawns one Lesser Fire (lvl 1) when it's your turn. Both lesser versions are breedable. The Fire Elemental is pretty to snowball in a round 1, or to bait out scorch/wrath.

I played witcher 3 with an XBox One controller on my PC because it was much more natural control than using mouse/keyboard. Although being able to reach over to the mouse/keyboard for UI occasionally was useful. I did activate the tight controls toggle, though. Palpek posted:Somebody in another thread mentioned that CDPR is fighting a hostile takeover and that it could have something to do with EA wanting to buy them. Anybody knows what I'm talking about and if there's any truth to it? I hope it's all lies. Some people jumped to conclusions. What's happening is that they sold more than 50% of the company during the lean times, and now that they have Witcher 3 money they're buying back stock to reach 51% internal ownership. No indications that it's in response to a hostile takeover bid. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Nov 7, 2016 |

I'm using one of the top suggested configs that has the inventory and map on the paddles and quick save on pressing the d-pad, with the mouse-like joypad camera. Gyro-aiming is great in other games, but I'm not really one for the crossbow in this.

I got into the gwent beta today and ehhhh. It seems ok but that payment model looks very very bad. I'm not sure why I'd play this instead of hearthstone or duelyst... The game itself doesn't seem good enough to overcome the lovely model. It did lead to me saying screw it to finishing witcher 2 right now and just downloading w3 though.

I use friendly HUD, and have it set so that the mini map only shows up when you use Witcher senses. You can also replace the mini map with a Skyrim style compass or 3D markers. It'll hide other UI elements for you as well. While we're on the subject, what are some other must have mods?

Auto-apply oils. Coloured map markers. Better than icons (adds written names to potion icons). All quest objectives on map. No fall damage (this one feels a bit cheesy but I prefer it to dying from 1st storey falls). A saddlebag carry limit multiplier mod whose name I forget. I really wish there was a gwent animation skip mod. I like the game well enough but it can drag a bit with multiple spies and special ability cards

There's a mod called Enhanced Quen or something like that which allows Geralt to survive high falls if he has a Quen Shield on. It's very cool and doesn't feel like cheating so much, because even the shield can only absorb so much damage (don't expect to fall down from Kaer Trolde and survive it, etc). With that and getting used to rolling when hitting the ground, I never found fall damage to be much of a bother.

General gear question. I am fighting my inner loot whore and want to sell as much weapons and armor as possible without selling unique stuff. So far I held on to green weapons (only the first 2 swords viper school I think) and all orange stuff, unless I got a better version (hello 6 pairs of Assassin pants). Is there any easy rule what I can safely sell and what is unique? I know some stuff can be upgraded but I haven't bothered yet.

Hopper posted:General gear question. No harm holding on to witcher gear, but you can safely sell/dismantle the initial Viper stuff if you're not going to use it anymore - the later version doesn't need it as a base. Also, most of the relic stuff you find is never unique, with a few unique exceptions. But if you're holding on to stuff, you'll soon be filling your stash with so much poo poo you'll barely be able to open it, when you could be rich(er) instead. I recommend just keeping what you're using, plus spare witcher gear. This is regarding equipment. Other stuff you might want to keep regardless. If you have Blood and Wine, you'll want to keep your mutagens (including monster ones). Edit: for better clarification, I only kept some stuff out of sentimental value, like some swords that were given to Geralt by a friend, or as specific quest rewards.

I'm pretty sure dimeritium bombs prevent fire elementals from activating their flame aura, but it's not like it's hard to just Aard the flames off them, and the dimeritium bombs will also prevent you from using any other signs, so it's still probably a bad idea.

Thank you, that helps. I also kept the grey starter swords for sentimental reasons but I'll just sell off orange gear then. As for mutagens, I'm keeping those anyway never know what they may be good for.

Before selling things, it's worth it to check and see if it will dismantle into anything useful. Some of the best gear in the game is craftable gear (the witcher sets) and you'll usually find that there are a few bottleneck ingredients you always seem to be short on. Sometimes the relic gear will dismantle into it. I don't remember off the top of my head what those ingredients are, unfortunately.

The Lone Badger posted:Did Witcher 3 sell a lot? I'd like it if they had money to polish the hell out of future games. What the other poster said about 10mil, it's also important to remember that the company's Polish, so their money is like hella worthless compared to the dollar, and you could buy a house over there for a bottle of Vodka and a 20pc chicken mcnuggets. They've probably earned almost a billion in Polish monies, so they're totally doing fine for future game polish. Witcher 3 cost - including marketing and development - about 81 million American, or 315 Polish Zobobalies or whatever the hell they're called. They made 61 million American in PROFIT in the first three months of sales. Another ~40 million American PROFIT in the first half of 2016.

I think that developer wages are also lower in Poland, which turns into a net gain for the company at the expense of employees when factoring in the currency exchange. Maybe comte could elaborate rather than leaving this to conjecture.
