Turn on cheats or play on the easiest difficulty. Problem solved. You want to absolutely crush everything with a totally unbalanced build? There's probably a mod for it even. It's not like the game is forcing you to play on a harder difficulty.
It took you soooo long to get your spec? If you have an entire set dedicated to your build, there's just no way in hell you're not still strong enough to kill basically anything even close your level. Getting a new spec costs 1000 which is almost nothing quite early in the game. The gear-quests takes a few hours at most and it's not even required in the slightest if you already have a freaking set. Runes and shit about as hard as come by as Nekkers.
You're basically asking them not to fix their games because some older players like being OP without cheating.
Then explain your reasoning rather than citing some silly rule.
It's a goddamned SINGLE PLAYER GAME. There is no reason to BALANCE A SINGLE PLAYER GAME unless it's something horribly broken like a spell that just outright doesn't activate or something. The only reason you would have to nerf or buff an ability like this is in a multiplayer game. I'm sorry that's just the way it is. Igni was freaking fine the way it was. And now, thanks to you "STORY SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER GAMEPLAY" morons, I now have a useless goddamn firestream sign. If people want to use a somewhat OP sign, then let them. Why does it bother you so much? It doesn't affect you! If you didn't want to use this OP ability, then you had the option to not use. Now, instead of people who WANTED to use the ability, they can't. Because it's freaking worthless. Thanks bro.
no it wasn't I noticed this right away. With the exception of trolls, elemental and giants you could spam igni and barly get damaged. That means it's an exploit allowing the game not to be played as intended and is a balance issue. It definitely needed this.It's a goddamned SINGLE PLAYER GAME.

He means igni should not be as effective as a mages fire ability.They're not thieves either. And... well.
You can't just say it's a single player game. Perhaps I want to use igni I like the spell effect I like the range, but even with no points put in the fire damage can just destroy bosses in seconds. That's an issue, and saying "don't like it don't use it" has no weight. I can easily say "don't like the new igni don't use it".

I understood that perfectly. But you didn't get what I was implying.---------- Updated at 12:32 PM ---------- He means igni should not be as effective as a mages fire ability.
Confirmed for not playing the game. At all. Bosses (especially the later ones) have gimmicks that shield themselves from your signs.
And now, thanks to you "STORY SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER GAMEPLAY" morons,
what? I consider myself a witcher fan but gameplay was pretty nice and a welcomed improvement in this one. Yes story first but it doesnt hurt to have a good gameplay which imo it did have a good gameplay. The only beef I had with the gameplay is that like witcher 1 and 2 before it is that it becomes too easy after you are halfway through the game. Unlike most games the witcher starts hard and becomes easy. Id like for it to start hard and remain challenging to be honest.Uh.. Witcher fans don't play the game to use Igni, you realize this? We play for the STORY. Not for gameplay! lol You must be new to the series and I welcome you. Read some books, play the older games, Witcher 1 is amazing fun, and pairs wonderfully with the first book "Last Wish". You will realize, especially from Wticher 2, that Story is more important than gameplay. Sorry you bought this game thinking otherwise its how it is.
Also, said this several times but will say it again, they said they were nerfing Igni first week of release. No one gave much of a crap then and after 4 patches, I was wondering whether or not it was ever going to happen. It happened, it needed to happen and I am sorry you might need to use more strategy now to play the game as intended by the developers because they, like most of us, like to keep the world closer to Andrezj Sapkowski's universe.
This is not Elder Scrolls, its hardly even open world, its just a really big story driven action/adventure game with rpg roots that comes off as something its not. Its more like playing a book than a game, hence why so many of us like the books and the story the game gives. Having a fire mage Geralt makes no damn sense. lol I appreciate that the developers are sticking to their guns on this. Just like they did when they fixed the cow hide exploit in Novigrad. Made some people mad but it simply wasn't the way the game is meant to be played, same goes for this issue here. If your upset, contact Andrezj and tell him to make Geralt a Zerrikanian fire mage and see what happens. Who knows? lol Until then, I think the changes are great and I have no qualm with them doing them as long as they hold true to the universe, which so far they have.

it doesn't need nerfing tougher enemies blow right through it.What is the duration for the Igni Firestream now versus before?
I used Firestream quite a bit and I definitely felt it was OP, but I also didn't mind. I haven't tested the game after 1.07 yet, but I hope it's not as bad as it sounds. If it just does less damage now, then I can handle that.
Hopefully they don't nerf Quen next. Quen Active Shield is probably my favorite sign in the game.

I knew it. I HAD a nice build based on fire. Firestream is now basically useless. This was NOT mentioned in the patch notes. Why nerf a single player, non-competitive game? Seriously...you guys are just like all the other game companies now..you mention the "good" in the patch notes, but also hide all the nerfs you put into every patch. Seriously. I should not have to re-spec my guy after a patch. You lost one user today CDPR, and I hope you lose a lot more. Don't become like Blizzard Entertainment, and what they did to Diablo 3 with all it's nerfs..I won't ever buy another Blizzard game, and CDPR will now get a close, hard look and a wait after each release of your subsequent games before I'll buy. I'll wait about a dozen patches to see how badly you nerf your future games into the ground before I decide if it's worth a purchase. Shame on you CDPR..really.
