The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Because it's supposed to be more difficult, maybe?

There are better ways to do that. They could just increase the difficulty of AI, or make them hit harder.
It is stupid to not be able to heal any other way than to wait stupidly long ammounts of time, especially considering you heal up after standing around for like 5 minutes, yet you dont even heal an inch of your hitpoints after meditating 10 in game hours.

It just doesnt make sense.

[Tibe]

It makes perfect sense. Feels like cheating meditating to heal up imo. Buy food or something or go hunting, which is a very viable way to get hp up. It forces you to do more stuff. You have absolutely no use for food in medium difficulty where you can just meditate to refill hp.

They've already made the NPCS more difficult, the meditation thing is just another thing to make it harder...

It makes sense. And alcohol is easy to find.

No it makes ZERO sense to regenerate more hp when running around, than during meditation. In that case they should remove all sorts of regeneration too.
Inconvenience is not same as difficulty.

I mean come on people, it is not like you can meditate in the middle of combat. Being badly prepared will still yield you easy death. I think it would be perfectly fine if the meditation healed one tenth of the hp in one hour of meditation.

Better yet, the game completely removes the effects of swallow when you drink it, then meditate. Ye gods...

[Xant]

The reason meditation doesn't give you health on higher difficulties is because it's too easy to meditate and to add some resource management. In TW1 and I think 2 you couldn't just sit down next to enemies and meditate as long as you wanted, hence healing was fine. Not so in TW3. It's not a big deal either way, l2p.

The problem is that most of the quests give you less money that what you can repair your armor for.
I mean what? Quest giver is like: ¨Thank you for killing that big evil wraith in that well and saving my daughter!¨ *gives you enough money to buy one bread*

That is the definition on trying too hard from Projekt´s side. But whatever, guess they have to compensate for the simplistic AI somehow...

Then don't accept the quest. Peasants not being able to pay you 2000 gold for taking care of a monster isn't actually improbable if you can use your brain. And maybe you should get out of White Orchard if you're not finding quests that pay more than 20 gold.

That is the definition of you being a retard again, like you are in every thread, which is why everyone calls you one.

Thats actually good. It forces you to scavenge for supplies and really manage your resources. Not just stroll through quests randomly and expect everything to be fine. Seriuslly man, l2p. Play in lower difficulty if you cant handle it and nothing makes sense to you, you wuzz. Thats why the picking your difficulty option exsists. But yea, I cant even imagine how you manage with the repairs in the highest difficulty. Bet even killing one drowner will break your sword in half by the end.

[Xant]

Anyway, moving on from 50 IQ concerns, I love that the combat, especially on higher difficulties, is take-and-deal-high-damage. Much more interesting than 20 minute fights. Also found the 6 places of power in White Orchard now and it effectively doubled my level. Think I'd be able to take those level 25 bandits now as long as I don't get hit.

Haven't had any problems with repairs really. -14 damage from 95 damage isn't THAT devastating, and it's gotta be in a really bad condition for that.

Give it a rest for fucks sake, its not like they couldnt go like: ¨Hey the whole village is really grateful you helped, and everyone threw in few coins.¨But DUHHHH that would make WAY too much sense. Besides, this is not something you can do when just strolling through the village, you have to access the notice board and accept the quest from there. The game includes sidequests and at the same time, gives you zero reward in doing them. If the game wants me to ignore sidequests even more, it does it right.

Oh really? I seem to need to run to the blacksmith for repairs after swinging my sword half a dozen times. Must be some magic on your side.

It doesnt work like that. Levels give hp and increase your damage aswell.

Those skillpoints you earned in Orchard will help, but you have to be atleast lvl 18 to even have a shot at taking out someone at lvl 25 nomatter how much extra skillpoints you earn. The only proper way to decently level up is doing the main quests and side quests given by the important characters in the main quests. Everything else is for loot. Atleast thats how it works in medium difficulty. Mybe the rules are different in Blood and Bones.

Pffft, calls someone stupid and doesnt know that Levels increase HP. That would be like pot calling kettle black, except me being stupid is forced opinion from xant to establish his sense of superiority.

I already killed one level 25 bandit when I was level 3 and with no places of power stuff + crap sword. Level 7 now with 7-8 places of power and a good main quest steel sword, should be no problem.

50 IQ nightmare thinks that intelligence = knowing specific game mechanics, not to even mention that I never said levels don't give HP. I think he might be even dumber than Tovi

[Tibe]

Thats odd. Whenever I tried to take someone even 10 levels higher than me out, I did no damage at all and instantly got my ass hammered with 3 swings.

I think he knew that. I just felt like clarifiying. m8 you really that desperate to get dirt on xant?

That is because you are not on xants level of obviously awesome bullshit level of playing field. That, or he probably found a group without archers, then proceed to repeatedly bait them with crossbow. Must have taken ages...

The point was that you should know you cant really beat a group of enemies when expecting not to get hit.
