I didn't know you were a Witcher fan. I wish they could get someone who looked exactly like the characters in the game, I love them! I'm not sure how I feel about this series. I'm not currently a Netflix subscriber,so I'll probably willingly miss out on it. I love the video game (well, the third mostly). I'm sure the books are good. I've seen bits of news and videos on this as well, I just didn't feel like reporting on it here, because I'm not really sure that (or rather if) I really care about it. That said, thanks for writing a post about it! :)

Playing Tale of the White Wyvern (of course) and Monster Hunter: World. I plan on watching the rest of the extra features bonus disc of Iron Man Blu-Ray I watched the movie (not for the first time) last night and will continue my MCU watch with Iron Man 2.

Dude! Bill and Ted are coming back! Did you know?

Yeah, for invisibility click the skill and count that as one, click attack 3 more times and then click invisibility again, if you have more. That's how I do it. So, click invisibility count 1, click attack count 2, click attack count 3, click attack count 4, repeat if you have more invisibility skill points.

I clicked on "(D)aily News" and it shows no news. At 7PMEST, this is most definitely a bug. I think you can go click through Previous Days news and Next Days News and see news though. Here's what is shown.
Tale of the White Wyvern - Daily News
Today's News (UTC)

(P)revious Day's News (2019-11-11 UTC)
(R)eturn to Town Square

Also, these support, etc. posts are hard to find outside of the game. I clicked "Tale of the White Wyvern" in the post, which brings you to all posts regarding that game, but I could not find these posts. Maybe I some how over looked them. It would be good if they were easier to locate outside of the game in case someone cannot get into the game.

I don't see how that's relevant, Travis. I'm not very familiar with UTC or even many time zones, though, so you probably know more about it all than I do. As far as I know, a new in-game day begin at 12AM PST and 12PM PST which translates to 3AM EST and 3PM EST. I guess it just means that nothing news worthy happened in the four hours of that game day when I logged on. I always long on some time after these times and I don't recall ever seeing an in-game day was blank like this.

Your reply to my bug report seemed irrelevant, but I realized that I must be confused about something. Thanks for clearing that up. In short, I thought game days and news days were the same.

You predicted questions I hadn't even thought of. I was ok with game days are not news days. I didn't question that. I didn't even think of why. I just thought, "wow now I don't feel stupid" and let it go. It seems you and Jon certainly put some thought into this, something I wouldn't have even thought of if I didn't notice what I thought was an issue. Thanks for the enlightenment. Also, I really hate Math! I do understand that it's all confusing, especially on release days. If a game is supposed to release on a certain day and the devs don't give us a time, we wonder will that be when it becomes that day in Australia, the US, or what.

Oh I believe! Good job!

Can't send mail, spend winter tokens, or interact with Scarlet. :( Error reads "something went wrong" and puts you back at main login screen.

Definitely fixed! Thanks!

Embarrassingly, died to a combat fish. Was taken to a post-fight screen, that included the option for Quark's, but was not able to actually navigate to that (by keyboard Q or clicking), page simply loaded again. (Not the best bug report, but I didn't think to record it at the time, sorry! )

Awesome! Question, because I'm loving the pop culture references, wasn't Joel's jumpsuit red (back room armor)? :D

I ran into this today, because I'm struggling with my keyboard, and hitting enter doesn't always work quite right, so I rapidly triple-quad-more tap the enter key.

Go to bank, withdraw screen.
Set the amount to withdraw.
Hit enter repeatedly.
Result: Withdraw that amount repeatedly
Expected: First enter accepted, others rejected

and good call, I just tried in Chrome 80, and can't reproduce it.

hitpoints <= 0 vs hitpoints < 0?

Maybe it is confusing, because you can't tell if the character's name actually includes the special flair. So, in other words, is this character's name "[ Blue }" or is it "Blue" with flair? It is the latter, but I can see the confusion. Although you could just hit "W" or click "Write Mail Back To." However, this could be confusing if you want to write mail or transfer gold to the character (without replying to mail and without looking up the character's profile.) I don't know if that's exactly what Chuckles is talking about, but that's what I see as possibly confusing.

I'm a fan of "dying on your feet" too, getting a chance to get that last swing in, the final knife throw (Poor Dobby!), etc.

Thanks for letting me know it changed though, I'll have to be that much more careful :D

Mornin'!

It looks like using Mage:Teleport in a fish fight (perhaps when the next blow would be fatal?) causes the death messaging, but I did not actually die (hit points did not change from 5, my fish bag did not empty, etc)

Got a tiny one for ya. The names have been changed to protect the victim.

When spying from the inn, the Member Formatting displays funkily.

Adhira pulls one of her books of the shelf and flips through a few pages. "This is everything we know about Unsuspecting Victim" Adhira says.

Oh, no... the forum ate it.

So, I'm not entirely sure what happened here, but I just got 0 shotted by trainer Molodrin.

I'm level 4, 4190 experience. I questioned the master, got the standard "you might be able to beat me" messaging. Chose the option to fight the master. In response, I got the "merciful death" messaging. So, he either got the first swing (?), and took me out with it, or something went weird.

I'm afraid I haven't had my coffee yet this morning, so I suppose I could have been low on hit points and not realized it.

Not useful as reports go, but...

> In looking at it i'm not sure what happened because Masters can't get first strike. Is it possible you hit attack quickly? I'll keep looking. If something else comes to mind let me know.

Honestly, I'd chalk it up to muscle memory and not-awakeness. Hopefully you didn't lose much time over it, and as a resident Mage, yay for Teleport being more useful!

Thanks again, guys.

Well you "fixed" it a minute ago, just as I was going to add a funny comment. I was thinking "Member Rod," but that makes me want to laugh like Beavis & Butt-head. Huh huh huh huh

I've come up with another color theme, so I'll describe the first one I've already suggested and then the second one I just thought of.

I'd like to see blue text on a black background. I think I'd like to see the (first) letters that correspond to the key to press to enter that area (like the "F" in "Forest) could be purple or a brighter or darker blue. I usually tell people my favorite colors are blue, black, and purple. No, I don't like bruises! LOL

Secondly, remember those beautiful rainbow blocks in Terraria that I love so much? How about that? On a black background every letter is a different color of the spectrum. That is a limited spectrum such as ROYGBIV or rather red, orange, yellow, greeen, blue, purple, and white. I think that would be cool, too! Of course not *every* letter would have a different color on the spectrum, colors in such a limited spectrum would, of course, replicate.

Although, an option to be able to change colors in-game would be cool. Like you could change the background, the first letter, and main text colors. Then we wouldn't need to suggest a theme, we could just customize it ourselves.

Oh! I just remembered I have also suggested that Rogues could see a counter that indicates how many turns of Invisibility are left. Something like after clicking on the ability button, the game could say, "you are now invisible for x more turns." The last turn of Invisibility would make the game say "0 more turns." At first it was confusing, not just for me, but then I realized how to accurately count how many turns were left. So, I can do it now with ease. It's just a tiny bit of counting. Still, an indication would be helpful, especially to those who've never been a Rogue before and are new to the game. I'm not sure if other classes have abilities that have a duration, but if that's true now or in the future, this counter could be used for them as well. Maybe to make this counter more useful, other classes could get abilities that have a duration, so that it's a tool not strictly for the Rogue.

Now that I remember, one last suggestion (for this comment). I would like to be able to know or see how much charm is required for each NPC interaction. Right now, you could click on the last and if that doesn't work select the one below it and repeat until you get to the one that will work. I'm sure if I really wanted to, I could spend some time and figure this out on my own, but it'd still be nice if the game would let us know. :)

Thank you for "listening" and giving my suggestions some thought! :)

Oh, and also perhaps an option to change your name. Maybe this could be after a wyvern kill and the game asks if you'd like to continue as X ("GregoPeck" in my case) or be reborn as someone new. Perhaps it could just be a simple name change or perhaps you could be reborn as a completely new character and thus resetting pretty much everything. So, it'd be just like when we started out for the very first time. This could be helpful if players decide we don't like our name or just want a fresh start. Perhaps, someone notices a typo in their name and they'd like to fix it.

Wow, I'm very impressed with how much thought you put into that one. I didn't think of or consider the things (scenarios) you mentioned. As for user typo, I know one user name that ends with a space. It confused me as to why I couldn't copy and paste his user name when I was trying to send him some gold, but I ended up figuring it out. Really, the easy way to do this is to just click on their profile and select "send gold" (I think).

My primary reason for this suggestion is because I think I have quite a unique user name in that it's the same as my user name here. For some reason everyone, except for me (and another I think), created a character with a user name that doesn't match their user name here. I don't know how I missed out on that. It's not a big deal really, although it does make me feel odd. Maybe there was something I didn't read or maybe I misunderstood something. Maybe I was surprised to see that (almost) no one used their Cheerful Ghost user name in the game. So, I guess I got confused there and am still confused as to why I did this. Otherwise, I could have created a character with a different name. Although, it really doesn't matter, honestly.

Maybe in the Daily News, it could mention that someone changed their name or was reborn as X (X=new name). Obviously, as you pointed out to me, if you really want to know who someone is, all you have to do is check their profile, which will tell you who they really are on this site.

Now I remember something else I thought of possibly before launch and that was for us to have multiple characters we could play. From what you just said in your reply, I can see how this one could be an issue. I can imagine some other scenarios (possibly at least one) where this would be an issue.

If I recall correctly, at the character creation screen, the game asks you to "create an account" and give that a name. This turns into your character name. I think, instead, that it should say something more like "create a character." That might be at least part of why my character is my user name in the main game. Although, only one other person used their user name as their character name. It was also slightly confusing for the seasonal game, because I already have a Cheerful Ghost account, which I was already logged in to. So, I suggest perhaps separating creating a character vs. an account.

A couple of quick suggestions. 1) I know there's a confirmation for when selling a weapon and armor, but if you accidentally do it, you're screwed (AFAIK). What if there was some way to remedy that? I'm not sure what. Maybe there could be some kind of post/place where you could "beg" or ask for gold and hope that people would be willing to share some with you, with which you could buy a weapon or armor. If this game had something to sell, that would be useful in this situation, too. 2) Could we get something like a transaction history in the bank that could help us keep track of how much gold we've sent to other players? Some players are giving to others. When it's given to me, I like to give back to the player, but I'd like it to be easier to keep track of how much I've sent. Thanks for listening and for making a really great and successful game!

Oh! How about some indication of how a weapon or armor will change our stats? I know hats tell you the strength and defense (among other attributes) that they add, but weapons and armor don't. So like each weapon would say +X (x=number) attack damage or whatever.

I think it would be nice to know how many wyvern kills we have. Is there a place for that or could you add it to our stats page? Maybe also total player kills, total deaths,...etc.?

So sorry, I overlooked those places. Thanks!

I'd now like to suggest a "sell all" button for fish.

Although, I think I've discovered (a pro tip) that it's better to eat or sell a fish after you catch it, instead of holding on to fish, because if you lose a fish fight, you lose all the fish you caught.

I don't know if the full players list is sorted in anyway, so could we possibly get it sorted or the ability to sort it? Personally, I think it should be sorted alphabetically. If you need to know why this is important, I can go into further details.

It's kind of obvious, but it basically makes searching for other players easier. A friend and I usually trade gold. Whoever has the higher level sends gold to the one who has the lower level. Sometimes, I like to look for his name on the list to see which of us is at a higher or lower level. His characters have odd names and it's difficult to remember how they are spelled as they were randomly generated. That also seems to be the only way to see someone's character info profile. In other words, it makes looking up player information easier. I hope that clears it up.

Although, I just realized you can click the person's name in the profile in the news section. That's good enough for me.

Do you ever forget what you wrote to someone and thus have no idea what they're talking about when they reply to your mail? How about a way to figure that out? Because, you know, as you get older your memory starts to fade.

Oh! I just realized a curiosity! Sometimes I see that a friend has replied to my mail, but seems to not have done anything newsworthy. So how does the Daily News work? Is it only certain events that make the news? Or is it just that not everyone who plays all the time does something newsworthy? I feel like I always see myself in the news and usually a about a few others.

I just thought I'd share some positive feedback. I like how the main page of the game changes color showing us that there's an event going on, but it also doesn't force us into keeping that color. So, like right now the Pumpkin Festival is going on and you know this because the main page is mostly orange, but once you get into town the colors change back to what you've chosen.

I thought I asked this before, but I'm still not sure of the answer. Which is the best place to fish? I'm wondering if fish in different areas are worth more money.

Ah, well I don't think I've ever eaten a fish, I just sell them. I've been fishing in the shallows mostly and seem to make good money from it.

Also, I'm guessing the fishing pole is pretty much like a weapon. I think the amount of money you get from selling a fish depends on what level you are. I could be wrong about that, so feel free to correct me.

Thought so.

I'm kind of curious about the damage you take as well. I think I could have the last pole and still take damage, but later not. I don't know if how much damage you take is due to your level, the pole, or the armor you're wearing.

Cool, I thought so, but I don't think I was entirely clear on it. Thanks for answering my curiosities!

Man, it looks like digital vibrance is set high in this video.

I played The Witcher 3 on my Alienware PC and I really enjoyed it! I think I was using the GTX 690 at the time. I'm not really sure there was anything I didn't like about this game. I really liked the story, the characters, the mini-game customizable card game called Gwent, etc. Geralt is certainly a favorite "hero" in my eyes now. I recently got to play as him in Monster Hunter: World as there was a collaboration done between the two games. It tempted me to play Witcher 3 again.

As for this video. It looks really good on PS4, but not so great on the Switch. I'm not even sure if I'd notice the difference if they weren't compared together on the same screen.

I seem to recall recently discovering that there is a new texture pack (possibly via the Steam Workshop) that you can download to make the game look even better.

As I said, I really loved Witcher 3. I haven't played it a second time, probably because it's so long, especially if you do every quest, there are very many of them. I often wouldn't leave an area until I finished all the quests in the area that were around the level I was at. I hesitated moving on, although it wasn't really necessary. Maybe I'll play the game again, I do believe it is a great game. I wasn't so fond of the first two games in the series, especially the first and I have my reasons. I don't think you really need to play the first two before this one, I don't think they really gave much of a back story, so they're kind of, maybe slightly irrelevant to this one.

Here's a shameless plug, I actually wrote about all three games on here, check it out if you want to learn more about it. I haven't looked at what I wrote in a long time. I'm not sure if I combined them together or not.

Thanks for sharing!

Also, regarding your title, isn't W3 on the Switch the only way to play it on the go?

My apologies, I hadn't thought of that. I don't know why I didn't think about a laptop.

Honestly, I liked this original movie when I saw it in the late 90's. I don't think I've liked another zombie movie as much since then. Maybe it's because it's in black and white that makes it less gorey, I don't know, but I think it was good.

On the topic of zombies, well first of all, how many zombie movies do we need? Geez there are so many of them! Now for video games, same question, must zombies be in every video game? Geez, we need some more creativity! LOL Ok, that's a broad generalization, but there just are so many zombies in our favorite media.

:) I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices this. I don't really think about it much with some stuff, like Terraria and Minecraft.

Wait, more changes? What do you mean this wasn't a perfect game from the start? I'm so disappointed! LOL j/k

I really don't know about doing dual class, I haven't tried it. I don't really want to either. I feel like spending all of my gems on my skill is definitely worth it. I probably wouldn't have killed the wyvern last time if I hadn't done so, I had just enough (D)isappear skill points to win that fight. Although I'm sure some kind of balance between classes and skills would also be efficient.

Personally, I want LESS PVP, not more. I'd love to see some kind of bonus for those of us (or at least me) who don't participate in the PVP aspect of the game. Although, I think it's kind of fair that this isn't the case. I just have no interest in PVP.

It's already difficult to afford a room at the Inn in lower levels, but I guess saving your money for that instead of buying a weapon, armor, and a hat would resolve that issue.

Good job with the Wyvern kill updating. I have one more kill to discover the last lore. I was worrying about what I'd do when I finished, like there wouldn't be much point in playing after that. So, you've resolved that. :)

Turn Helga's into a brothel. LOL

Anyway, thanks for the game, guys, and the work you've been putting into it.

I don't see interest rate raises on any hats. Am I missing something?

Oh, ok, so not all hats. Even still, the ones that gain gold don't tell you this new fact. That might be helpful to know in-game at the shop. Although I only use hats that increase my strength and defense.
