Witch curse

[Sanger Zonvolt]

Just a quick question: I have saved the wolfmother in the woods and killed the witch. I thought the debuff (+15% chance to be killed) could be lifted because the hero said "there should be another way" (or something close). Is there another way? Or do I have to play with the debuff for the whole rest of the campaign (which is a pretty hefty debuff considering it hits the whole army).

Don´t get me wrong, I like it from a story standpoint. But from a gameplay standpoint since the enemy rubberbands to your army cost and not to your buffs/debuffs that just means I am stuck with a negative trait I can´t work around and that just makes every non hero unit worse.

We will change the witch curse to be limited to the forest mission itself.

Well that would make it cheap and a non decision. I mean I like the idea of lasting choices, but in a world of magic give me some option. Maybe give the option to spend a mana ressource and some gold to lift the curse in the level selection?

also some info : If you buy new trolls, they don't have it ...
OR GIVE the trolls that "horn of valor" (never flees) and the last Troll upgrade is fearless ...
but still, they are more vulnerable to magic ...

But agree, there should be always some counter action ... like kill the witch ...
or like with the dragon, use liquid mana etc.

Luckily I found the wolfmother first and avoided the witch hut.

Nice to know that was an option...
@dev: If you change it please make it retroactive so I can change it in my ongoing campaign as well.

[primetide_dev]

Retroactive is unfortunately not that easy. I fear you will have to replay or are stuck with it :(

[Sanger Zonvolt]

Can´t you jsut add a button to manually remove it? Or put a check into the mission starts to check if the debuff is active and deactivate it? That seems pretty easy to me. After all this is nothing more than an on/off state check, is it?

[primetide_dev]

Not impossible, by any means, just not something we can do fpr this patch unless we delay it.

[Sanger Zonvolt]

So in a later patch? Because I really don´t want to repeat the hours of gameplay just for that.

[primetide_dev]

We will have to see. I think it should be doable,but I can't say for sure until we have reviewed the issue.

Is this likely to make the next patch (thing still on track for today at some point)? Thanks

[primetide_dev]

yes and yes

[Malfias]

Perfect - Thanks :)

[Sanger Zonvolt]

If have a safe just before the mission ends. Will I be able to reload it after the patch and just end the mission for the curse to go away (because the removal triggers on mission end)? Or do I have to restart the whole mission?

I was two battles past getting the curse and went back and replayed that map, found the girl and exited the map, screw the witch! :)
