What video game are you playing?

[Whiskeyjack]

Not really anything super specific as yet, just a number of different diagrams that I know I am in possession of.... how about Cat School gear?? I know I have those without having the game on, though that's just a random example.

Each piece of Witcher gear has 5 levels of quality-- basic, enhanced, superior, master-crafted, and grandmaster. And except for the basic set, each upgrade requires you have the previous level's piece before it can be crafted. So you start by discovering the basic diagrams, and craft that set. Then you discover the enhanced diagrams, and in crafting those, your basic pieces are consumed to create the enhanced set, etc. and so on up through the grandmaster pieces.

The quests to discover each diagram set are listed under the Treasure Hunts tab in your quest log. If you can't currently craft anything, I'd bet it's because you never completed and crafted the basic Feline set, which is required for all of the upgraded pieces.

Since you've already got both expansions, it's probably not worth your time to go back, track down all those diagrams, and craft the Grandmaster Feline set. Best-in-slot gear only includes two craftables, both from the Manticore set, which was added in Blood and Wine and has no prereqs:

Chest: Manticore Armor
Boots: Manticore Boots
Legs: New Moon Trousers
Gloves: Nilfguardian Guardsman Gauntlets
Steel Sword: Belhaven Blade
Silver Sword: Aerondight

It's important to make sure you've full upgraded the Runewright from Hearts of Stone before you switch to this gear for the Levity enchantment on your Manticore Armor. That'll ensure every piece is still considered Light Armor, which helps with Stamina regen and ensures you'll still get to benefit from the Cat School Techniques talent. (Enchanting both of your swords with Severance is also well worth the investment).

The Feline armor set with the Ursine swords is a good stop-gap until you're able to equip all these pieces.

So wait, long to short, all I had to do is craft the low level stuff???

lol, smh.

but thanks a bunch, I'd have just written crafting off otherwise.

I must be out of the loop on gaming. We bought and played on a WiiU for my kid over the last few years snd liked that well enough for what it was. We just bought an Xbox one and got Battlefront. Both me and my son love it and play it all the time. I dont like it doesnt have a campaign but I dont hate it and I dont feel like it was a waste of money. I definitely dont think it sucks.

I imagine that the main reason you don't think it sucks is because you probably bought it for $30-$40 with all the DLC. EA originally was asking for $110 to have the full game.

It's weird that the best review of Battlefront exists on a comedy channel, but this gets to the heart of the matter pretty well IMO:

My beef is the 1:40 point to the end of the video... plus, well, it just wasn't fun... none of the modes were, it was run around like a chicken with your head cut off blasting anything that moves... it was a really bad, limited, and just poorly designed game with a great looking Star Wars skin over it... it was like the prequel movies in game form... everything about it really kind of blew,.. but it was Star Wars.

Dunkey is the best at describing why EA and Ubisoft games suck.

I still can't figure out crafting... nothing that is attached to a diagram shows up anywhere... I spent some on low level items just to see if that unlocked anything....

I've watched numerous videos too, in the video, go to craft, item is there with 'diagram' next to it... when I do that in game... nothing. idk

You also have to go to the right sort of smith. If you ask most of the lowly blacksmiths to craft you something, the relevant diagrams won't even show up in their interface, since it only shows what they're skilled enough to craft (which usually isn't much). For basic, enhanced, or superior Witcher armor, the Armorer in Oxenfurt is generally the most convenient:

For basic, enhanced or superior Witcher weapons, the weaponsmith in Oxenfurt is also easy to get to:

For master-crafted armor, you have to complete a quest for Yoana in Crow's Perch. For master-crafted weapons, you have to complete a quest for Hattori in Novigrad.

Okay, I'll try Oxenfurt tonight after dinner... thanks Whisky.

Happy to help. The game definitely doesn't give you much help with the intricacies of crafting.

Persona 5 is excellent. Super Japanese and really great turn combat strategy. There's a wonderful element where if you are able to stun all enemy combatants you can essentially do a super attack that usually ends the battle right there. You can also collect all enemies a la Pokemon. I love mundane nature of the daytime life sim mixed with the stealthy combat strategy. I can definitely see myself playing to completion though I'm just scratching the surface at 10 hours in.

Rumors swirling that after discontinuing the NES Classic, Nintendo is working on the SNES Classic for the upcoming holiday season.

Hopefully they put some more focus on the "demand" aspect of "supply and demand" this time.

 

[ACamp1900]

Why was it discontinued so quickly??... I missed that.

Knowing Nintendo, probably not. They have some interesting principles when it comes to supplying their products.

Hopefully they overlook the oversight of the NES Classic and provide a cartridge slot. For probably a slight increase in manufacturing cost they could rope in collectors.

I dug out my old SNES a few weeks ago, acquired some new cords and controllers, and now I'm hunting for games. I've got Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country.

Still looking for a reasonable price on Super Mario All Stars.

I've still got all my old games. It's not nearly as big as my NES collection, but I've got about 30-35 games with quite a few gems in there. All the classics, like Mario Kart, Mario Paint, Star Fox, Final Fantasy II and III, Chrono Trigger, etc.

 

[ACamp1900]

And no he won't share them Lion......... anyway, what happened with the classic??? poor sales??

The opposite, from what I understand. Nintendo didn't meet demand, and doesn't plan on continuing to sell it.

Haha you could probably find it on Amazon for $0.01.

I looked into selling it to the local mom-and-pop, but they were only offering $1 (they had it on their shelves for $4).

Why I didn't give ACamp any games

Also, Jurassic Park and Wayne's World are horrible games.

Not literally his cartridge... lol... just the same game (Just in case anyone actually thought I was really selling the games he gave me, lolol)... he gave me a small lot but I don't really play MM, my girls mess around with it a bit tho.

 

[ACamp1900]

I liked JP alot... it desperately needed a save option tho...
