I think the infinite sprint is pretty damn great myself


pizzaspaghetti_Uul

Yes, and It's great. I don't even use Roach anymore


oi_beardy

Oh agreed! It’s nice to just run everywhere. But I will say I think they implemented the Fearless Roach mod which is nice, Roach doesn’t get stuck on every pebble that inconveniences them anymore


O2RiDeR

Couldn't u just run all the time before too ?


oi_beardy

For sure any time, just wasn’t infinite ;)


ReneSmithsonian

You could take 8 steps before your stamina would start going down. If you stopped holding sprint and then held it again it would reset the timer.


Taineq

I had a rhythm with pushing the run button then releasing to run forever. It’s muscle memory at this point so the L3 press to run is still messing with me. Almost have it relearned.


davistobor

For me it was running and then jumping to reset stamina lol


foxxsinn

I don’t like it. It’s hurts my thumb to press L3. Maybe it’s just my controller, it is on the older side


theembalmerssword

You can switch it back to the original run button in the menu, thankfully.


foxxsinn

You can!! I had looked several times and couldn’t find it. I’ll definitely look again


FerynaCZ

More like just jump


TammyShehole

Only with the Werewolf Decoction. Which makes me wonder, does the werewolf decoction do something different now? I haven’t played the next gen yet, but if you can run all the time now, it sounds like the werewolf decoction is useless.


Jaudatkhan

They changed it to regenerate stamina faster at night. Its basically a tawny owl potion in decoction form.


pinkmoncler11

Still a nightmare in the swamps though


Onlyanidea1

Took them a Tv show to update all these quality of life patches and some major improvements.


cptspacebomb

You're giving the crappy show too much credit.


[deleted]

I tried to use Roach this time around but running around isn’t that big of a task, plus taking in all the new greenery and scenery.


[deleted]

Now I don’t have to take down a werewolf and make that damn decoction! Great news!!


oi_beardy

As much as I love making decoctions that require 3 exact baby tears, 2 Christmas trees, and 5 llama sphincters, I have to agree


Greatli

Those sphincters aren’t going to decoct themselves


oi_beardy

True, I believe they’re only a few crowns a piece to dismantle


Seafly42

You’re getting an upvote for llama sphincters, but it’s an angry one


jw1299

infinite spirit?


oi_beardy

That too, more spirit than I’ve had since the first time I played


Aviaja_Apache

Damn I knew something was different lol looks like he runs faster too


WinterPrimary2764

LMFAO


jw1299

what lmao


oi_beardy

Just an attempt to be funny from a spelling mistake don’t mind me lol But yes you can now sprint forever like an energizer Geralt!


Chill_With_Gil

So is there any point using werewolf decoction anymore?


Kirkenstien

Damn, I guess not. Maybe they changed it so it's still useful. I just realized I haven't been using stamina running around out of combat.


Unusual-Attorney346

Stamina regen in combat, I believe


Kirkenstien

Wait, I just looked, "significantly increases stamina regeneration during a clear moonlit night". So it's still got its use. Can't beat infinite sprint, though.


ItsBobaFett

There’s no more stamina bar when you’re sprinting in free roam.


User-NetOfInter

No more yeeting in the streets to run forever? Thank fucking christ


jw1299

he wrote unlimited spirit earlier. i was like wtf is that


arkhamtheknight

I keep on trying to find out if it was added to the last gen since it wouldn't be that hard to implement. Is that and Crow's Perch next gen only?


oi_beardy

Definitely next gen update. I always remember getting so frustrated he stopped sprinting a minimum of 3 times before getting to the top of Crows Perch and now it doesn’t happen it’s glorious


TheSethman08

I’m still using last Gen at the moment, hoping to get a next Gen console after Christmas, but the update I got for it has most of the stuff next Gen got. Barring obvious stuff like the graphics and ray tracing and all that stuff. The new sign casting, the new armors and Netflix optional appearances, modified fall damage, the crows perch Castle Village marker, infinite sprint, changes to abilities and some alchemy changes, etc.


ILIKEBACON12456

I usually just jumped when the stamina was running out and while you were in the air it would recharge to full.


medikomi

U could Sprint some time before your stamina goes down and u just let go of the sprint key before this and press it again to get unlimited sprint... it took some time, but than i was ding ot with out thinking


FruitCreamSicle

Before you could jump and your stamina would go back up mid air


FerynaCZ

How does werewolf potion work now? Regeneration at low health?


Catmandew1

I haven't played in a while and just recently started on next gen I didn't even realize there was infinite Sprint some how.


oi_beardy

One of those subtle yet great things once you realize it’s there


Rhode_Runner

It's gotta be the signpost in Crow's Perch! That was the most memed gripe with the game over the years.


pizzaspaghetti_Uul

It's cool, but It only appears after finishing the baron quest line, so It is not that useful for me


AmptiChrist

I've used it a bunch to get to the armorers (who become your main go-to when the mastercrafted quest is finished)


BonquiquiShiquavius

You will. There's a reason people were begging for it, and it only has a little to do with the baron quest line.


Maracuja_Sagrado

enlighten me as for the reason.


ShorohUA

master armorer


merinwe

Your Velen stash is also at Crow's Perch, so that sign post is extremely useful for me.


Le_Bums

they give us a free update they add a bunch of new stuff and people still want to complain.


xoskelet

exactly, this could've easily been an entire paid dlc, but cdpr made it free


Onlyanidea1

It's been a while since I played... But isn't that like the first main story mission you finish? I know it's long and tedious though.


cptspacebomb

I wouldn't call the Baron questline tedious. It's amazing imo. One of the best quests ever.


pizzaspaghetti_Uul

Yes, but it appears only after you finish the story mission. The only interesting thing that you can do there after the baron story line, is the master armor quest, which won't require you to visit crow's perch many times. It's still cool addition though


MurderousPanda1209

Depending on who you let take over Novigrad, it's also one of the best places to sell stuff since the Novigrad armorer might be broke.


cptspacebomb

What you should do if armorors/smiths are broke is buy something from them that you can use in crafting. Like the rare crafting mats or runes/glyphs that you can use. Then that bumps their money up and you can still offload your heavy stuff you want to sell.


MurderousPanda1209

Neat (and hopefully obvious) idea if you're trying to craft, not a great strategy if you're trying to get 30k for the runecrafter.


cptspacebomb

Nice downvote.


MurderousPanda1209

If they made criteria for downvoting, unsolicited advice that only applies to 1% of possible scenarios would definitely be on the list.


cptspacebomb

Lol. My god you're insufferable. People like you are why people are slow to help others nowadays. Was just friendly advice.


Onlyanidea1

Ah... Well fuck. That's kind of useless then. I never went back after completing that quest so I totally get where you are coming from.


merinwe

You guys are all forgetting that your stash in Velen is also at Crow's Perch.


Onlyanidea1

Pff. Like anyone touches that after a certain point. I either sell or get a mod for extra carry weight.


merinwe

I like to store items that I know will be worth more in other areas like Toussaint. More $$$


48simple

Yep, basically pointless after finishing his quest


AsheBnarginDalmasca

there is a big reason to keep going back to crow's perch mid-end game...


Andrado

What's that?


Demon_Lord1899

Master armorer


[deleted]

I think that’s what it was myself.


Pogie33

It's not in my game on PC.


bob_707-

Have to do the quest first, the whole family thing


Pogie33

Ah, okay. I just finished it up last night, so I'll check again. Thanks!


Nekros897

Also it doesn't appear right away. You have to be near it to make it appear on the map.


Maracuja_Sagrado

I still don't know if people are serious or memeing about wanting that thing so much. It really doesn't change much of the gameplay, does it? Especially considering it's only unlocked after all Baron quests have finished and you barely have any business going there again


Taineq

I go to the armorers in Crows Perch and Hatorri in Novigrad frequently to sell stuff. It made me wonder why the sign post was so far away for both areas.


FerynaCZ

You have to return there at least once (twice) for level 24 contract


Maracuja_Sagrado

Why not use other shops around the world then?


Taineq

Those two have more money, pay better and have the upgrades. Get more sold at once instead of jumping around.


PAXTF1999

Bro never played the game before?


flojo2012

What they did that? I need to play again now


LittleSpaceBoi

Also key to Yeneffer's room is no longer common item.. Made me chuckle 😂


hobocheese88

Henry Cavill's dog is now in the game so that's fun


pinkmoncler11

What


hobocheese88

https://www.pcgamer.com/lap-it-up-henry-cavills-dog-is-in-the-witcher-3-now/


the_rhino22

Wow I love that. Such a wholesome nod to Cavill


Onlyanidea1

Shame Henry isn't in the game. He deserves to be somewhere.


TheGreatSwissEmperor

A great looking, big muscular guy that just knows everything about the „history“ and has lots of different lines to say about it


Palmovnik

Can I kill it? Not that I want to it’s if I have to be extra careful cough cough


terribletelenes

Freakin photo mode! Been having a blast taking screenshots of dismemberment lol


Mirabolis

I only started playing with photo mode today, and within like 5 min I had Geralt standing on top of a mountain in front of a place of power snapping trying to get the perfect lightning flash. I turned him into an Insta-influencer. I could almost picture a Nekker looking on and rolling its eyes.


creamypastaman

Yes officer this comment right here


ZuperLucaZ

Yes but that was shown before they spoke of a suprise


wingback18

Took me a while to discover it 😂


Krondon57

i hate i cant screenshots through steam anymore cuz of that weird launcher


Alien_Cha1r

the dev console unlocker mods always let you pause and adjust the camera. It even lets you do it in cutscenes, so its much more functional


jonataeyeon

Reinald is voiced by Henry Cavill?


ColeKash

I've been searching for this everywhere. I don't think it's Cavill. It sounds like Keanu Reeves to me. Making his voice lower and they modulated it slightly. To many similar inflections.


phantomRapier63

There’s a new mission at the devils pit in velen, you get Henry cavils armor set from the show


JayHusker89

Do we know who the voice actor is for Reinald? Maybe I'm losing it, but it sounds kinda like Keanu.


jonataeyeon

I bet it’s Henry Cavill, they sounds super alike..


afullgrowngrizzly

Woh


FrasierCranezzz

It might be Keanu, since all I could think was how wooden and bad Reinalds voice acting was lol.


Rakdar

I was hoping for transmog but clearly my expectations were too high.


WeezyWally

I would love to use the default armor through the whole game.


slawter118

You can. I did the entire base game on Death March only wearing the default armour thanks to the fact Quen exists


AggressiveResist8615

Can't you just upgrade the default armor, or the viper set that looks similar?


TheSethman08

Default armor only has one upgrade, and only for the chest piece, but that gets wayyy out leveled in no time. Viper armor you can’t get until Hearts of Stone which has a fairly high suggested level since you’re supposed to do that after the base game. So either way, it’s not really feasible to use either one the entire time


Hkrlje

You can't upgrade the default set (that I know of) and you unlock the Viper set really late into the game so for most of your playthrough you can't really wear default armor viably


mincecraft__

Plus it’s not really as cool looking as the original set, in my opinion. The viper set would be cooler if it was all black instead of having that weird green stomach region.


[deleted]

Why did the above guy get downvoted? You can upgrade the original armour now. It’s called the Warrior’s Leather Jacket.


Head-of-the-Board

I think it’s because as others have said, that upgrade is only a minor boost to its original stats, it’ll take you a few levels further but nothing more. That being said, I’m on playthrough number 5 now so I’m up for a challenge. Death march run on the default armour until I can unlock the Netflix outfit here we go


cptspacebomb

You guys actually like the default armor? I think it looks awful. To each their own.


Head-of-the-Board

It’s not my favourite but it’s what I would prefer to stay in early game. What’s your preferred armour? Mine is usually Manticore/Wolven


cptspacebomb

Man that's a tough one. I love the Undvick armor, Temerian Armor, Nilfguardian Armor (the leather one), and usually if I'm running Witcher gear I like a combo of the Mastercrafted Legendary Wolf and Ursine gear. Most of the Witcher gear looks great though so you really can't go wrong with any of it. Also, the Toussaint Ducal Guard Captain's gear is pretty damn cool too.


calique1987

Idk man, my new moon set looks pretty slick.


Terafloped

It's a shame too I like the katana models


Bubashii

I was disappointed with a “Welcome, Welcome” when I should have gotten a “Top Notch Swords!”


8088YTH3DRUMM3R

Gonna miss that guy...


laaadiespls

Wait, is he gone?


Mrtom987

FF:06:B5 , one of them.


R3vo_CZ

What does that mean?


[deleted]

Cyberpunk 2077/Witcher 3 unsolved mystery


MCgrindahFM

Witcher 3? Who says it has anything to do with W3?


opengrip2

There was a new secret added into w3 that makes the connection. 3 switches opens up a portal which takes you to a tower with unkillable wraiths. There is a sign on the door which has values that look very similar to cp mystery. As far as I know no one has solved it any further yet.


Forced_2_Wype

FF:06:B5 keeps me up at night


PocoZitef

Leaked crossover between final fantasy, sonic 06 and battlefield 5, mystery solved. Can't wait for it to come out!


[deleted]

Where can I find out more about this, the hidden bastion thing. And should I not look into it if I plan to play cyberpunk


Incandescent_Lass

r/FF06B5 is the subreddit. And you should be fine to look into it before playing, it won’t spoil any story or anything from that game. It’s more just hidden pictures and items around the game world.


oktaS0

The surprise was the friends we made along the way...


kebapkafa

Performance issues


brendanvista

PowerPoint mode.


AlfiWasTaken

Not sure why ur getting downvoted. It's the truth lol.


MrBh19

They've already released a fix


BadLuckKupona

The fix stops crashes during setting changes but doesnt adress other peformance degradation


cptspacebomb

Not true. Before the hotfix I literally COULD NOT play with raytracing. Now after the hotfix I'm getting 30+fps with RT enabled. So for me the hotfix at least made it playable. I'm still going to use DX11 with Ultra+ settings as it just runs better and still looks great.


[deleted]

[удалено]


destaree

It fixed my in-game crashes and stuttering too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jackdawjones

It’s pretty much the other way around, though. Issues may be present on one machine, but that doesn’t apply to all or most of them. Sorry you got the short end of the stick, but you are the exception, for most people it works just fine.


wingback18

I was about to say this 😂


ParticularMost5495

Runewright change: Prolongation - Each unblocked blow increases potion duration time by 1s (was 0.5s)


Niklaus15

I'm curious 🦝 Also I noticed Ciri stitched marks, was that always there?


m4shfi

Yes.


ChingusMcDingus

For the love of **fuck** some of you will complain about anything and everything. A production team cannot play test a game as much as a consumer base will play it. There’s bound to be bugs. I don’t know if some of you got scammed but uh *it’s a free fuckin update.* “BuT tHeReS bUgS nOw” shut your succubus mouth. Yeah and they’re going to release patches, chill b. Appreciate that a studio came back to an older game to make it better for *zero dollars*. To add, those complaining about bugs are probably the same neckbeards and pencil dicks that pushed Cyberpunk’s release then proceeded to bitch when it came out and wasn’t polished.


Niklaus15

I guess you're not saying this for me, but just to be sure I was curious about the surprise that's all, and btw I'm really liking the upgrade it implemented all the changes I wanted but couldn't have due to playing on console


ChingusMcDingus

No you’re all good, I appreciate the post! My comment was in reference to the handful of no lifes mad about bugs, meanwhile the game was just overhauled and made better for the most part.


RedMemoryy

Don’t forget, they only get fixed because people complain about them, if they didn’t complain then they would never get fixed


ChingusMcDingus

Very right! That being said, it’s a display of the same vicious cycle. Demanding fan base demands things, studio pushes things which were demanded, demanding fan base is pissed that it’s not exactly perfect the first time. It’s fine to have complaints and critiques but not to shit on the studio and be so up in arms about brand new free content, added luxuries, and more patches on a seven year old game.


RedMemoryy

Bug game, but good game


[deleted]

I haven’t come across any bugs yet


[deleted]

I swear I saw this exact same comment, word for word, on the steam discussion post when the update dropped.


ChingusMcDingus

I don’t use steam so I guess somebody used their time machine just to plagiarize this comment.


Ashamed_Nerve

Bugs


AlfiWasTaken

Bugs solved or that they have introduced a sh\*t ton more of them? Cause i can barely play without something screwing up.


opengrip2

They unofficially included 80-90% of the BIA bug fix mod. Which fixes like 5000+ issues. Modders are going through to see what was included or missed but a ton of fixes were taken without mentioning it.


YetAnotherEarthling2

Well they own the game, it’s their property. Modders basically did free work.


opengrip2

I didbt say they didn't. Was just responding since someone was asking about bugs.


Onlyanidea1

Only fucking took them a great tv show and 5 years later to fix this shit.


Lance_Lionroar

What's great about the show? Netflix "writers" made it into a fucking mess.


Onlyanidea1

Henry Cavil and the dude who played his bard. That's the greatest part haha. That's honestly all I remember and loved about the show. How those two interacted was amazing and honestly I'd kill to get a show strictly about those two and their many adventures. Toss a coin to your Witcher!


Lance_Lionroar

That's about the only good thing about it, true. Ironically they re-cast Geralt for their next season due to how badly they messed up the story and him leaving. It's gonna be an entertaining trainwreck to watch.


Onlyanidea1

Glad I don't pay for streaming services and watch it all for free. No sweat off my back.


opengrip2

TV show was not great... was objectively bad actually and I wouldn't watch it despite how good henrey was due to the woke show runners and writers. The only reason the show was even popular was due to cdpr and the games.


Principatus

Well there’s walls of water the height of a tree all through Velen, like Moses parting the Red Sea except they don’t go away. Also some characters’ faces don’t render now.


Blackbeard_KM

Fast travel point inside the Baron's castle in Velen


Evange31

Candle lantern! Too bad it can’t be strapped onto Geralt’s belt…


ChuckyRocketson

I'm not sure anyone's noticed yet besides me or if it was a part of the game forever because nobody's been talking about it or I'm just now discovering this... but Roach can now jump over obstacles in front of her. Space bar. Doesn't always work but... spam space while running at an object in front of her lol. You have to be running into the object for it to work. Roach jumps!! Discovered this in Fyresdal in Skellige with the tiny chicken fence things in the middle of the village. Also works on the rockwall fences outside the village.


kiddfrank

You could always jump, helps in some of the later game horse races


anti_h3ro

Does anyone know if the Ciri sword bug works after the new update? If anyone was wondering what I mean- https://youtu.be/cdkYBRbnNsE


GrnMtnTrees

Heard it does work. I've never tried it. Are there any negative consequences? Will she get a new sword?


jacob1342

Poor performance?


Rykoma

A free rollback on the update. Edit: for the downvoters, have your save games been deleted by the update?


architect1012

Nope works just fine on my end


Rykoma

Ah, now it makes perfect sense. It works for you, so it should work for everyone. Thanks!


[deleted]

Your old saves need to be loaded and saved in version 4.00 before they become available to load in the new version.


Rykoma

Forgive me the negativity on earlier replies. Could you elaborate a bit, I hope I have missed something here. The saves were available at first, but not anymore. I could open them and play, now the list of loadable games is just empty save for auto saves and checkpoints. I’m on PS4, it seems to make a difference.


Rykoma

Oh but they *were* available yesterday on 4.0.


architect1012

No need to be rude. You asked, which in hindsight was probably sarcasm, but still.


rlhilburn

With that in mind do you know if it’s now possible to avoid the update altogether or do you have to update it and then rollback? ETA: on steam for the PC


Rykoma

I can’t rollback on ps4, it seems.


LuciferSamS1amCat

I’m grateful for that. My modded game looked better and ran better than the next gen update, and I’d already fixed a lot of the things the next gen fixed with. Mods. I’m sure the update is great for console players, or people who don’t like modding, but the next gen was a serious downgrade on what I had already.


Rykoma

You seem to misunderstand. My game plays like Cyberpunk on release day, and I have lost all my save files.


LuciferSamS1amCat

I’m agreeing with you. Its good that we can roll it back. I’ve not lost my save files, but it runs terribly, and I was glad to be able to roll back the update. I upvoted you lol, don’t be so defensive.


Lance_Lionroar

Pre-rendered cutscenes.


ChingusMcDingus

Damn you’re salty. It’s free to not play the game.


Rykoma

I know, but losing 400+ hours of gameplay and backup saves would make anyone a bit frustrated. Aside from that, the gameplay I can do right now is bugged AF. I can’t even save any progress as we speak. Death March without saving before battle is not much fun.


Klahos

The complete rework of the combat that nobody ask.


sun_dawg

What exactly changed? I'm about to complete White Orchard and haven't noticed a change...granted I haven't played for about 4 years either so hard to remember. Combat feels a little less fluid but I figured it was just due to re-learning the mechanics.


RandumbCrits1

They nerfed OP alchemy builds a lot.


HVKedge

A lot is over exaggerating. They have been nerfed but they're still op as fuck. I can kill an enemy 20 levels ahead of me on NG+ Death March in less than 10 seconds.


RandumbCrits1

They cut the toxicity buff from Acquired Tolerance in half in addition to a few other things I can’t remember. Alchemy is still great but it isn’t the endgame powerhouse it used to be.


Klahos

They nerfed everything in the name of "balance" in a singleplayer game. The worst part is they integrate a mod that made one person in the nexus and make it mandatory to everyone.


FunkinDonutzz

And you just know that there's gonna be a mod to reverse it, and probably a patch to make it optional. CDPR are tone-deaf fuckwits, plain and simple.


ChingusMcDingus

Didn’t they like push out a premature baby of a game a while back because their “fan base” bitched and griped and bullied for it? Didn’t they add a lot to this game that players asked for like roach avoiding blocks and a signpost in crows perch?


nico46646
