Strategy guide for Witch Queen on PS4: how to conquer the queen's challenges

The Witch Queen is a highly anticipated video game set to release on the PlayStation 4 (PS4) console. It is the latest installment in the popular Witch Queen series developed by a well-known game studio. The game promises to deliver an immersive and captivating gaming experience for players. The Witch Queen takes place in a fantasy world filled with magic, mythical creatures, and dark forces. Players assume the role of a powerful witch who embarks on a perilous journey to defeat the titular Witch Queen, who threatens to bring chaos and destruction to the realm. The game features stunning visuals and detailed environments that bring the fantastical world to life.

It also is a great honor for Heinz Obermayer that even a Salomon/Adidas powered company like Mavic found no better way to design wheels than to copy his design.

Having been quoted 580 for a set of Ksyrium SSL tubulars new that is an even bigger discount so I don t know if my LBS gets good Mavic pricing or if Mavic has large margins but I would guess I can get a set of these new wheels for 1500 less than a set of the Standards. It also is a great honor for Heinz Obermayer that even a Salomon Adidas powered company like Mavic found no better way to design wheels than to copy his design.

The game features stunning visuals and detailed environments that bring the fantastical world to life. Players will explore lush forests, ancient ruins, and eerie dungeons as they navigate through the game's intriguing storyline. The Witch Queen offers a vast and open world for players to explore, providing them with a sense of freedom and adventure.

Weight Weenies

Mavic claims to have tested these using the same protocols as Tour. The numbers I got from them for stiffness are very impressive if correct:

Front 67 N/mm
Rear 55 N/mm

Aerodynamics are claimed to be better than Hed3 at 0 degree, and significanlty better than Hed 3 with sidewinds.

Not the lightest wheels, but not that heavy either. Claimed at 1185, actual for early wheels has been averaging 1200 grams.

I'm unable to understand how it is possible for the Mavic to have lower drag at higher effective yaw angles. are you sure about this?

No I'm not sure about it, but Mavic was very clear in stating that the aerodynamic properties of the wheels really shine as the wind moves further to your side. As said, I got this information from Mavic, so there is no guarantee that it is correct.

It seems Mavic is gunning for Lightweight with these wheels. Most numbers they give are in direct comparison to LW standards. Such as X% stiffer, Y% more aero.

Claimed to be 35% more aero than Standards at yaw, though he did not say at what angle.

hard to believe about the aero part. I was hoping they would be lighter.. but that weight seems pretty good for mavic.

I am very happy that Mavic is copying our wheels. This is the best that could possibly happen to us. They have the power to advertise the "revolutinary new concept" (which in fact is older than 10 years) in magazines worldwide. We are ready for comparison tests and have some inquiries for these already (Tour will make one in june or july). We are more than confident that or long time experience will still produce better test outcomes (and not claim these)

It also is a great honor for Heinz Obermayer that even a Salomon/Adidas powered company like Mavic found no better way to design wheels than to copy his design.

And finally they are not really cheaper. Thanks Mavic for helping a small company like us!

I'd still rather have Lightweights than Mavics.
There's just that sex appeal that goes with Lightweights!

If I were on the board of Carbon Sports I would be worried. The world of business is full of stories of large corporations adopting the innovative ideas of small companies and through marketing and brute force putting the originals out of business.

My gut feeling is the best way to avoid this is to work carefully on positioning - maintain your small loyal niche with serious investment in both continuing technical innovation and PR and marketing which emphasises the 'cool' and 'authentic' nature of Lightweight in comparison to the 'boring' and 'corporate' nature of Mavic.

It's what Apple do with Microsoft, what Nintendo do with Sony etc. You can broadly call it 'disruptive'.

There you go - that's the kind of brand strength that you have to expoit. A 'cool' factor like that is something Mavic would kill for, but not be able to create without making a sub-brand.

The only way Mavic wins is if they can produce them in as good quality, greater mass, and of lesser price than LW's.

If I were Stephan I wouldn't worry much.

I'm not so sure. Microsoft made operating systems which were worse quality and more expensive than competitors at the time. I'm sure Mavic are selling more units of many products for which there is a superior version available from a smaller company (Ksyriums?)

Product development and pricing is only the start of the story.

I don't know. I think I would be a little worried if I were Lightweight. the Standard runs $3500 US and the MSRP on the Mavic is $2750 US. while I must pay the $3500 for the Standard I typically get 20% off from my LBS and I am not even a sponsored rider. Having been quoted $580 for a set of Ksyrium SSL tubulars (new) that is an even bigger discount so I don't know if my LBS gets good Mavic pricing or if Mavic has large margins but I would guess I can get a set of these new wheels for $1500 less than a set of the Standards. that is huge, I can't even think about buying a set of Lightweights but I am already thinking about these Mavics.

I think Lightweight has a pretty niche market anyway so perhapse Mavic could release anything and it wont really impact them.

as a carbon retailer for a few years i have watched your company and admired the workman ship and belief in your own visions and ideas.
they have matured into the envy of the wheel industry, and as you point out, they can be coppied but never bettered.

i am sure Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel , was not upset that others copied his idea. we will always remember it as the DIESEL engine>. who ever makes it
