I expect there to be much more. Worth reading the patch notes first tho to see what's already there!

 

[Brogan80]

I'd say this is a pretty unexpected bonus. Don't remember reading about them adding a 3rd and 4th mappable consumable slot to quick items.

 

[Exentryk]

Yeah, they mentioned 4 consumable slots in the Hearts of Stone details. Works really well.

 

[dooot]

Were additional Geralt's phrases during combat mentioned in changelog?

 

[Exentryk]

New move added for Earth Elemental in 1.10

A circle of rocks around Geralt so he has to fight in close quarters.

 

[Krull32]

Not bad , but the area should be more closer. Not really much more dangerous so.

 

[Mezziaz]

Looks like those rocks are digging the combat music.

 

[Analikital]

I agree it would make it more dangerous if it was closer, still it will cause panic to some people and they will make a mistake add that with death march and you are dead

 

[Krull32]

Maybe

Btw, i would like to know if there is something new for the Fire Element too .

 

[Atheistic_Logic]

Was it intentional in 1.10: Yrden slowdown % has been halved?

The only thing I see about yrden in the changelog is that the ability to freeze opponents has been removed.

So leaving aside the question of whether 100% should / ought to freeze opponents, it appears to be the case, as many players have noticed, that our slowdown % has been cut, somewhere around 50% cut.

I just want a yes or no answer: was that intentional? I'm asking because I am hoping that if the answer is no, this change will be undone. I would argue that yrden wasn't nearly OP enough to be nerfed, but certainly if a nerf was to happen, 50% cut in slowdown is crazy.

So has slowdown been cut by design, or it's incidental?

I think it was by design but I agree with you. You had to have a really elevated sign intensity level to even get the freeze. With the reduction though Yrden is hardly useful without an highly elevated sign intensity level. I kind of wish they would have just taken out the ability to freeze them, like it had a maximum slow cap.

 

[Garrison72]

-Autosort now puts food items after bombs and alchemy items.

-There's a groovy blur/ fade in effect after you exit the shop panel.

- Maybe it's just me but certain animation seem smoother now, like running and jumping.

- Frame skipping as been drastically reduced.

- Could we unlock the keybindings before? Just about everything can be bound now.

 

[XSon]

They've also added the new HoS area but it's inaccessible for now.

I have a hard time believing it was by design. Really hope a dev answers

I hope you are right, although just saying "hey lets cut the slow effect in half" does seem like an easy fix for them to stop people from being able to freeze enemies. We will see though. I personally use it a lot when fighting groups of enemies, but am not using a sign build anymore so hopefully they fix it.

 

[Icosan]

I do not like that food and drinks are now stacked when you consume them. They are not separated. And also I do not like that all food/drinks last only 10 seconds.
I also noticed that the reaction of Geralt is much faster. You make roll and jump in bigger distance from your opponents. And also the combats now are more "faster" as actions.

 

[ilayoeli]

Can anyone report of an improvement with the hitboxes?

 

[ummagoomba]

They've also added the new HoS area but it's inaccessible for now.

I wonder if this mod would allow you to explore it: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/470/?

Well if it is physically there and it's not just the map i don't see why not, but i don't think that mod would work anymore unless you know how to update it.
Edit: It will probably be nothing more than empty houses no NPC's or creatures.
