[TW1][mod] Full Combat Rebalance v1.3 RC

[harfang]

Mmm ok, but then... is group style very efficient? I mean, are there situations where using group style makes the fight easier than using strong/fast style?Because as we cannot have all sword talents to 5, we must make choices. And it is hard to make choices ^^ Are there armored monsters? If not, then perhaps favoring strong and group style in silver could be useful, and for steel strong and fast for instance, or fast and group.So any tip? I'll check your excel chart to check all this ^^About Neo, I'm sure that if Neo had FCR, he should have died for fighting those enemies But Neo is cheating, he used Vanilla ^^Thanks

 

[Flash]

Are there armored monsters?

Insectoids and ornitoreptyles. Kikimore warrior is a tank. Giant centipedes.. ouch. Basilisks and royal wyverns thankfully fall quicker and you want them dead quickly because they hit hard and poison.No tips. You know everything about sword styles now. It's up to you

 

[harfang]

Damn, you're THE devil, really What a headache ^^So, we have choice, forget about group style and so try to stick to a few monsters together, or use group style but then have difficulties against either monsters with resistant skin, or with armor ^^As according to what you said earlier, there are some monsters that require the strong style, without the strong style and proper oil we will be unable to hit them. (or just with aard, but only if they are not immune to stun)Or... specialize against monsters, the three monster styles to the max, and just one steel style to the max... perhaps then the fast one, against armored warriors. And unarmored warriors we will still attack them with fast one.And group of weak humans still with fast style, or group one (as we still have it to 3) if they are weak enough...Hehe but thanks for this wonderful mod which makes this doable...btw The only signs I use is Aard mostly and igni sometimes against plants...

In next version of the mod it will happen only on INSANE difficulty (highest).

I am on insane (I'm not insane, it is just the difficulty level ^^)btw I just looked at your excel chart, what does it mean 100% for yellow meteorite sword? Does it mean a 100% bonus, so high armor penetration? Or does it mean just 100% penetration, but then those without numbers mean what? (then I guess this is 100% bonus in penetration?)When I look at your chart, perhaps it is fine to have a steel sword with high damage low penetration for enemies without armor, and a weapon low damage high penetration for armored ones Oh btw I have tested the torch as a weapon against ekinops, I found that using sword in strong style and igni is more effective. I have an axe too I have not tested yet, as I didn't find yet an opponent with a shield...Can you explain me the bonus for rune sword? What means "silver" as a bonus? And why a torch does not have any incinerate bonus? Oh and I do not know if this is normal, but in the sewer crypt, in act II, even with the cat talent, so Geralt can see in the dark, I see nothing, I need a torch. Does it mean because we must have a light source to amplify it, and there is none in a crypt? And with this talent, is the cat potion still useful?Thanks

Does nightvision works in other dark environment?

NIGHT VISIONAllows Geralt to see in complete darkness without the need of potions.The mutation won't succeed if Geralt is under the effect of a Cat potionRequires Bronze Talent

You've noticed fragment about cat potion, don't you?Yellow meteorite sword has +100% penetration bonus. It means that it does +100% damage to armor with a cap. If enemy has damage reduction of 50% and you have 150% armor penetration you turn his armor to negative values. 50% damage reduction x 150% armor penetration bonus = 0.5 x (100% + 150%) = 0.5 x 2.5 = 1.25 1.0 [size=7pt]100% = 1 -> nothing -> base damage, that's why 100% + 150%[/size]Silver bonus bonus + x% means you deal +x% damage. It's works the same in vanilla Witcher.

And why a torch does not have any incinerate bonus? Wink

I forgot about it in excel chart. But it won't count in damage calculator anyway

perhaps it is fine to have a steel sword with high damage low penetration for enemies without armor, and a weapon low damage high penetration for armored ones

Sure. In FCR you finally have a good reason to keep 2 swords. But personally I hate the look of bonus sword on the belt. Looks so awkard.

 

[harfang]

Yes the mutation worked in act I in the night, outdoors, and in the cave in act I, but not in the crypt in Act II. (Don't remember if it works in the swamps, but I never used cat potions, so I guess it works in the swamps)But in crypt I really see nothing without a torch ^^What does it mean that the mutation will fail if we are under the effect of cat? We loose the bronze point we spent on it?A torch does not count in damage calculator, you mean it is a useless weapon even against plants?If you hate the look on a sword on the belt, then you use only one? And so you have to choose between high penetration and low one?Thanks

Talent won't work because of how the game works.

I meant that incineration doesn't count. You can't write incineration damage in damage calculator.

If you hate the look on a sword on the belt, then you use only one? And so you have to choose between high penetration and low one?

Yes, but it doesn't mean it's a good idea. I just prefer looking cool instead of having second sword on the belt.

Then it's a problem with location. The game doesn't treat this crypt in Act 2 as dark environment.

 

[harfang]

So it is a game bug? Is there a way to report bug? Because this place is really dark, no light at all Or perhaps I could try to go there at night? This way perhaps the game will consider this as dark? ^^This place is full of bandits, and in another crypt, full of ghouls, and so without light it is hard to move, and with the torch I'm vulnerable to attacks. Perhaps you could try to go there and tell me if this is the same for you? ^^ThanksEdit : I have noticed two things as well, with this mod, the endurance bar stays gray, never yellow. (in fact I think this is on the beginning, when we have only an endurance bar, without the intermediate cuts, if you see what I mean)And sometimes food stack with swallow, and drink with tawny owl (according to icons), but not always.

I uninstalled the mod but the problem continues, if anyone has any tip, please let me know

Because it wasn't the mod's fault. Unfortunately I don't know how to help you.

(in fact I think this is on the beginning, when we have only an endurance bar, without the intermediate cuts, if you see what I mean)And sometimes food stack with swallow, and drink with tawny owl (according to icons), but not always.

Intermediate cuts or whatever we call it are there to show how much endurance you need to cast a sign. Since in FCR your endurance pool with level zero intelligence is 25 and level 1 aard cost 25 endurance there is no indicator. Also this is the reason why endurance bar is grey. It's yellow when you have more endurance than it's needed to cast a sign but you don't. You have exactly equal. When you buy intelligence talents it turns yellow again. When you buy aard talent endurance cost needed to cast the sign raises again and ...The food doesn't stack. Some kinds of food doesn't work at all because I forgot to add fixed files from version 1.0.1.3 to 1.0.1.4 :-[here's the quick fix before I release new version of the mod: http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=21782.0;attach=38638

 

[harfang]

The food does not stack? But yesterday, I took a swallow potion, so I got an icon. Then I took some food, and another icon, so I have two regeneration icons.Same think with drink, if I drink tawny owl and then a bottle of water, I have two endurance regeneration icons, one with 30 per minute, the other (drink) with 15 per minute.BUT it works only with water, if I drink something else than water, I do not get a second icon.Or do you mean one food does not stack with another food? That I know, I just wanted to know if it is supposed to stack with potions. Because sometimes it works, sometimes not. (Your patch fixes that?)Thanks

 

[Flash]

There are different kind of food and drinks. Some work, other don't.

 

[harfang]

And with your patch they will all work? And this is what I said? Food is supposed to stack with swallow, and drink with tawny owl?Thanks

 

[Flash]

It will work.Yes, it's suppose to stack. Bonus from food is tiny but it's "free" and lasts 4 hours. In vanilla food was useless.

 

[harfang]

Btw, where comes the "bonus" from? I mean, for water, it is displayed 9 endurance per minute, but when I use it, on the icon is displayed 15 endurance per minute.

 

[Flash]

Bug.Good. Another one smashed It's 9 endurance per minute.

 

[harfang]

I have an issue at the end of act I, when I have to fight salamanders in the small house.The time I draw my weapon and select my sign, I am half dead. And then I'm full dead.Any tip?Thanks
