Way of winter current state

[Jetrel]

I have been reading about a ton of people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on way of winter, but those posts were from november mostly. Have they fixed it yet or are the gripes people had with it still in the game?

Nope still ass the weather is still there

WoW is way easier than Manibus once you deal with the temperature. It's loot pinata, with Oil and Pollution anywhere you want it, Sunshroud Cave/Frost Forge with 7/10 armour/weapon crates for loots in very close proximity. It's also shortened compare to Manibus unnecessarily stretch out Phases.

The issue is WoW has fewer Silos and Monoliths than Manibus, also less Public Events.

The temperature mechanic is a less punishing than it was on WoW release and some of the bugs got fixed like invisible lava or the temperature getting "stuck". Otherwise it's the same.

I played the last Way of Winter scenario which ran through December 2024. It wasn't bad, but it was worse than Manibus.

Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but when the lava cools, it turns the color of coal. It looks like you can walk there, but you cannot. When in doubt, pay attention to the minimap.

I'm more referring to cases like the invisible lava that was on the catwalk at the top of Fire Throat in the final area. You'd just be walking along normally and suddenly burst into flames lol.

It was terrible when it first launched but now it's playable, the temperature mechanic becomes almost irrelevant by week 2 as you will have insulated gear + lantern + crystals to use.
The map has a lot of interesting POIs but it's smaller, harder to navigate and has way less content than manibus.

phase 1 just craft your top and bottom with seal/velvet or any hide that prevents cold/frost.

phase 2 is just weather stew.

that's it. that's how you survive the whole scenario.

CW can't destroy structures anymore,

damn, i was hoping it would be difficult to manage. but still it seems better than doing manibus again.

Holy crap, that's great. I left the game in December after learning that my tower had been built on a random CW spawn and it was wreaking havoc on everyone's bases. Glad to hear that's been changed.
