I don't think I've ever played an RPG where leveling up takes as long as it does here. Not that it's a bad thing, I don't mind it at all, just an observation.

 

[superseohyun]

Despite a lot of shortcoming of the traditional WRPG jankiness , i think this is one of the best game in recent years.

Cant wait for mods to fix the combat a bit.

 

[Coreda]

Yeah, so I just resumed playing on xbox one this morning, played for about 3 hours. Every time i go to manually save -- "Cannot save right now"

So i'm like okay, i must be in a quest that won't let me save
I die and i cant click load most recent save..
I go to load save and the last save is from yesterday


What the fuck
So fuckin angry that I might not even play this anymore. Shit autosaving in this fuckin game.

It could be this bug:

This has probably already been shared but...

For those of you playing on Xbox One - don't shut down your system with the instant on function enabled while you have the game still running. Doing so will cause your game to fail to save the next time you go to play - losing all of your forward progress. Also the Xbox will have to be hard reset for the game to load any previous saves. Luckily I noticed this after 15 minutes, but some people have lost hours of progress.

I'm currently testing leaving the instant on enabled, but dashboarding and quitting the game before shutting the Xbox off. Hopefully that's a viable workaround until a patch fixes it.

I've added it to the OT2 draft as it's fairly critical.

It's a card for one of the other factions. Click the arrows at the top of the deck page.

I have the same problem...beat the final kid in Velen and got the same card that sounded familiar. Checked all 4 factions, still nothing.

 

[Anustart]

Haven't played too much yet, but I liked the quest in the swamp near the niilf camp in white orchard area. Merchant losing his wagon turned into a nice little situation that seemed like it could have happened. Amd the frying pan quest.

Just seems like a real world.

 

[His Majesty]

Eredin is a leader card. Go to your monster deck, click on change leaders and there you have four possible leader cards.

Yeah, super tight. Really annoying that this garbage can happen, especially with Xbox being the "lead platform"

I'm done until next patch. Don't feel like fighting through all of that over again just to have the game fuck up on me again.

 

[Vinc]

How have I missed out on this series for all these years? This game is absolutely incredible. Just finishing up as many side quests as possible in Velen before I head to Novigrad. There's just so much to do and none of it feels like padding; I love it.

 

[RDreamer]

Any tips on how to create a good monster deck for Gwent? Which inn/shopkeepers have the right cards or whom do I need to beat? It's seem to be the most rare deck for sure, rarely run into a merchant that has any monster cards on him.

Also lol, the Crow's Perch blacksmith's apprentice completely stomped me with her monster deck. She puts down one card, that one summons 3 others, then puts down another which summons a whole bunch of others. Add in the horn ability of Eredin, and then you got me getting kicked in the balls - hard.

I am still running the baseline deck with some adjustments based on cards that I picked up. Scoia'tael and monster are just a pain in the ass due to the fact they do not seem to be reliant on their hands at all.

I wanna know how to quickly make any of the other decks. I've played like crazy and still don't have enough cards to field any of the others.

Been playing in Velen up until

Spoiler

the Werewolf right after I had helped Johnny get his voice back

. That's 16h played, and while it has been pretty good so far, it does feel a bit dissapointing in that much of the game so far feels pretty linear. Much more then I expected after The Witcher 2. I hope it does open up a bit after this, since I don't want to do too much the same way if I replay it.

Not sure what you mean here seeing how W2 was extremely linear.
Outside of the one major choice in W2, which only forked the same single path to the requisite conclusion, that game pushed you along a tight rope. Many critical quests in that game even required a specific order of completion("wait for events to unfold") listed constantly in the journal if you try to deter.

Anyone else experienced a bug during The Last Wish?

Yennefer gets on the boat and I've jumped on but nothing happens. She just shouts at me asking if I'm getting in

Edit: Never mind, sorted it. Just me being dull

Question about the Swap Thing contract.

I gave the guy a week to get his funds in order but I'm not sure where to find him again since it's not marked on the map. Could I get some guidance?

Shoulda read the level requirement before you crafted it ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Same spot he was the first time. Basically there's a small building you can see on the map straight left of the orphans in the bog. Go there.

Thanks. I lose my bearings in the bog pretty easily and I met him before I had located any named landmarks.

Yup.

I'm level 11 and I've got diagrams for level 30+ stuff already.

As much as I'm enjoying the game, the loot system is a fucking joke. Came across some guarded treasure. It was guarded by a level 28 monster, I'm level 14. Took a couple of tries, but I killed it. What's the fucker guarding you ask? A level 9 sword and some other miscellaneous crap.

Don't fret,

Spoiler

once a week has passed the quest will pop back up and remind you pointing you the way. In any event, he's near Crookback Bog to the South I believe, just look for some hut on your map near Crookback Bog.

I find all guarded treasure is pretty much crap or a toss up, the real loot comes from those actual Treasure Hunt quests.

Or find him and meditate for a week right next to him. Show him you mean business.

I think the issue is with the monsters, For instance, a level 6 or 7 gargoyle is far more difficult than some monsters well into the late teens.

The

Yeah, this pretty much seems to be the case. It is a bit discouraging for the exploration. But most everything else in the game is really good, so I can forgive it a bit.

Spoiler

make sure you use some potions (I used Thunderbolt and Swallow), have some food ready. His first phase is easy, but after he transforms it seemed to get much harder. Try to dodge his attacks and make sure to eliminate the smaller wolves he spawns first, then focus on him. I found what worked best was dodging, then getting in a couple of heavy attacks. You can stagger him, and follow them up with a bunch of fast attacks as well. Keep on him and don't let him regenerate, if you dodge properly you should be able to do it without getting hit too much
