I’m on mobile so I’m going to summarize a bit. On your first play through I’d really encourage just playing the way you want to play. Be that WT1, WT2 - doing side quests or focusing on main story. Just enjoy it!
The only thing I’d throw in there is that you do have to complete the campaign to unlock WT3 difficulty. If your 50 or getting close and haven’t wrapped up the campaign, I would try to shift gears to wrap it up.

I’ve been very tempted, but I end up enduring until I become numb to it lol. The hardest is when a narrator changes between books in a series.
Man, we have opposite takes on that subreddit lol. I feel like since launch it’s been 90% negative.
I think it’s fine to critique the game, but it’s also important to remember that the game just launched - we haven’t even hit season 1 yet. Compared to previous titles at launch, there is much more end game content.
In all fairness, I’m not as far in as you (around 67). Still loving the game though, excited for season one and taking a new class into end game.
Por qué no los dos
Popcorn poppers are definitely a great option for getting started! The batch size is the only downer. As for the Behmor:
Pros
- Large capacity: Well, relative to others of a similar price point. You can do up to 1lb, but I typically do 0.9 or a little less to make sure I can take the roast a bit darker.
- Ease of use: It is really straightforward to use. After doing a handful of roasts I felt confident I was going to get a decent output.
- Durability: I might just be lucky, but my Behmor is still in tip top shape after 11 years. You do have to stay on top of cleaning, but it’s just a quick spray of simple green with a microfiber cloth and running it through an empty roast.
- Smoke suppression: While not entirely smoke free, the Behmor dramatically reduces smoke output.
Cons
- Lack of control: Tied to the ease of use, there isn’t much fine tuning to be done. I believe this has been significantly changed in the newer model - which allows fine tuning and tweaking on heat, etc., in addition to the roast profiles.
- Cooling: It can take a bit longer than I would like to cool the beans. They cool in the roasting chamber as opposed to a tray. I end up opening the door when I go into cooling, which helps a ton but negates the smoke suppression system.
- Roast Time: The roast time runs longer on this than most, around 17-18 minutes for a pound. I’ve worked around this a bit by roasting a little under the setting amount.
Overall I love it and have been really happy with my coffee. The new Behmors look really slick too.
I’ve been home roasting off and on for 11 years and love it! I also source my beans from happy mug and primarily use a behmor 1600 (old version), but I’ve played with an old popcorn popper too.
It’s been a great hobby (and a good excuse to clean up the garage in the early stages of the roast lol). Someday I would love to get something with a larger capacity and a separate cooling tray, but prices seem to jump pretty fast.
