Guard nerf should've been a thing a time ago. i remember how immersion breaking it was back in 2015 that some plebeian guards are able to defeat a badass master witcher.

[expandleo]

And now you can sprint forever, I counted 200 steps while sprinting and the stamina bar did not go down one bit!

[midgetydeath]

If I remember correctly, the cat elixer was to enable clear vision in absolute darkness. The magic of it being that you don’t need any light source at all to see when using it, far beyond merely having night vision.

[dzurwis]

I mean changing skill points from 5 to 3 makes it so heightened tolarance doesn't bring your overdose threshold to 100% making Euphoria a lot less viable.

[andrewplck]

That feeling when you have played with FCR mod for so long, you forget that vanilla was 5 points per skill.

[ryanduty]

Guards would attack me in the old versions of the game for stealing. Also one of the alchemy skills allows you to have 3 oils equipped now, was part of the wolven set bonus before.

[jimmyjimber]

You're really underselling the supercharged glyphs change, they are very strong but only with a full sign focused build with 400% sign intensity minimum. If you put entanglement on your armor you can wipe out 20+ guards with 1 alternative yrden in the Nilfgaardian army camp

[kaisiru]

I still have to play it but I like that they reduced the skill cap from 5 to 3. Glad i don't have to waste skill points just to unlock the next of row skill s anymore and I can give geralt a few different sign modes in my builds.

[ericwilliams]

Man im so glad i decided to wait until the next gen version before starting another playthrough it plays so smooth and looks amazing

[homidahroun]

Troll Decoction was also changed to give health in combat only after kills, though it does appear to stack.

[stefantherainbowphoenix]

They added a hybrid minimap option that makes the minimap fade away during gameplay until you press the "focus button" (I'm not sure which button that is but I think that it's either the lock-on button or the witcher senses button). Sorry if you already mentioned this.

[RJTheHero]

Bomb builds from my testing got a massive buff. Green alchemy skills now also buff bomb damage by 15% per maxed out skill, and Heavy Artillery in the General skill tree adds a 3x multiplier to all bomb related damage (e.g. Poison/Fire DoT and Grapeshot).

[Eagle_Beak]

Excellent compilation. I wonder why CDPR didn't just write and article detailing all these changes for us? Thankfully we have guys like you willing to do the research for the rest of us.

[itsmehere]

I don't know if I'm just doing somting wrong but I rarely use food since it seems like I need to use like 200 food to heal to not even full health so to see it being nerfed is very annoying.

[skeletonmors]

I just really wish there was a transmog system, i love the ursine grandmaster set but i focus on using signs

[iPlayGamesITA]

The Grandmaster set of the Wolven set now has a totally different bonus for the set pieces!

[ramulus]

After beating the game twice for 100% and wanting to play it again now, I am a little peeved that I can't abuse active Quen shield of deathmarch but also excited to see how the new buffs would affect playing deathmarch

[majinboo]

running no longer cost stamina, werewolf decoction now regen 50 % stamina faster than normal when in combat during full moon (or is it half moon ? cant remember). decoctions cost now 50 intead of previously 70.

[XiLock_Alotx]

Nice to know about the rune and glyphs words. Love these hidden little changes! I’m sure there are plenty more! Let’s hope CRPR nails out the performance issues on PC in a timely manner. Until then Gna enjoy this update on PS5! GLHF LKM!
