So with all the talk about Elder Scrolls Legends in the last few posts I checked it out.

Holy shit it looks bad. I obviously can't comment on the gameplay itself but simply looking at it answers the question why that game is so dead. The board is plain ugly, the card art is really bland and amateurish
The UI, including the card layout looks like it's straight out of 2005. When looking at that board, nothing actually reminds me of elder scrolls. It looks like a bad joke. No matter hiw good that game is, it won't take off simply because it looks like someone put the bad art of early Magic and put them on a board a 5th grader made in MS Paint. Gwent isn't perfect visually but compared to that travesty it's a masterpiece.

Pic very related.

It's made by some small team that shits out card games no one cares about.
I don't understand what is wrong with Bethesda. They gave out TES MMO to some shitty devs, and they made a generic crap no one in his right mind would play. Now they gave out TES card game to some shitty devs.
I mean their in-house devs are not that great either, but at least they have experience and skills to make a nice looking and sounding game.

Seriously man. Bethesda outsources to a company that doesn't have nearly enough money to pull off a good card game. Then wonders why it won't take off. Direwolf is a small team that's busy with other card games, non of them successful. No wonder they can't hire good artists. One of them was even caught stealing a frame from a movie and simply painting general tullius over it.

With CDPR you can actually see that they put effort into it.

I'm tired of playing against ST. I've seen this shit coming from miles away, though. The recent changes were really flawed. Come to think that there's a huge tournament ahead of us with such a shitty meta is disencouraging - it's way too early for this kind of shit.

>>173349810
You get of the card you don't want and get another card with the same border color that is or was in your current game. You can get even tokens like lumberkin if it was played at some point and you johnny away a silver card.

What's the most ridiculous play you've pulled off so far?

I made a meme deck for casual built around insane tempo. Once I managed to play

>turn 1: Triss:Butt + Roach - 11 strength
>turn 2: Dandelion - 7 strength
>turn 3: Temerian footsoldiers - 20 strength
>turn 3: Phillipa Eilhart + Alzur's Double Cross + Witchers - 32 strength

70 strength in 4 turns. GGs all around.
>>
>>173351503
last thing i remember that was kinda funny was pulling about 40 strength with a single vicovaro
>>
>>173350664
Because the last metas were entirely about playing PFI and other tokens which he didn't buff. As soon as Trebs got made useable again along with Kaedwen siege expert he's used again because wow, turns out giving all your units +2 is really good.

Same reason Triss: Butterfly is used now and not before.

Wow cards changed and then got used, so innovative!
>>
Which golds should I craft for each faction?
>>
>>173353090
NR: Shani, Triss: Butterfly Spell, Bloody Baron, Phillipa Eilhart, Vernon Roche. Rest are bad.

ST: Aglais, Saskia, Milva, Isengrim, Iorveth, Schirru. Rest are bad

NG: Cahir, Vilgefortz, Xarthisius, Stefan Skellen, Letho. Rest are bad.

SK: Coral, Birna, Wild Boar of the Sea, Ermion. Rest are bad.

MN: Caretaker, Avallach, Kayran, Caranthir, Woodland Spirit, Imlerith. Rest are bad.

Neutrals: Yennefer, Yennefer: The Conjurer, Geralt: Igni, Geralt: Aard, Ciri, Villentretenmerth. Rest are bad.

>>173366909
Emhyr and Francesca suck

Eredin is outclassed by Dagon in nearly every scenario until they figure out what to do with weather

Radovid isn't going to benefit much from locking 3 units when his opponent can see it a mile away

Some leaders like are forever stuck with one type of deck so its not so much the leader but the deck that decides how strong they are

second row need a deck made for them

Squaess, my name is Jan-Sama.

I’m a 27 year old Nilfgaardian Ker'zaer (Emperor for you Nordlings). I draw black and suns on my banners, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Nilfgaardian games. (Horse riding, Spying on the North, War series)

I train with my Nilfgaardian longsword every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is forged in the city of Nilfgaard, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on the continent. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Elder Speech fluently, both Nilfgaardian and the Skellige dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Nilfgaardian history and their code of warfare, which I follow 100%

When I get my Nilfgaardian visa, I am moving to the city of Nilfgaard to attend a prestigious Imperial Palace to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a great leader for the entire Nilfgaardian empire or the whole continent!

I own several suits of black armour, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Nilfgaard, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Elder Speech as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Nilfgaard!
>>
>>173351495

Ekkimaras only get the current strength of the unit they chow down on so eating weathered units is only going to get a +1 strength bonus. Not worth it, eat things before using weather.

>>173379494

Unless you get the ideal starting hand and your deck in in a very good order, not well. Scorch bounce and ambush buff bullshit is too much for anything to overcome reliably.

Congratulations mate, you blow all your load in the first round
Now you rely in golds and 2 medics to win the game while the opponent probably has his whole strategy to develop and will crush you in the third round.
>>
>>173379494
Oh well, you aren't going to read this anyway, but Henselt is good against ST. Even after the nerf he is a great leader. In the current meta he works wonders against ST since you can relatively quickly make yourbentire board scorch-proof. He also directly counters spy decks ( You just promote the spies and thus make Jan Calveit/ Treason lose value ) and Harald axemen (can't lose strength if all your units are gold). Also works against foltest trebuchet spam, for the same reason. It's a great anti-meta tool, there's a great Henselt deck on gwentdb that just got me to rank 15 a few days ago.
>>
>>173385425
Shani, Nenneke, Priscilla and Stennis are the must-haves.

After that, Bloody baron, Triss: Butt and Phillipa are also good cards. Dandelion and Margarita for specific decks.
>>
>>173390947

>>
>>173392427
Stennis? The others I get.
>>
>>173394605
Not him but I do wonder why I don't see Stennis more. He's the NR's only spy, right? So why not autoinclude him for the deck thinning?

Stennis is included in the both NR meta decks. Don't know why you don't see him anymore. Some Henselt players don't use him, but both the swim's foltest swarm and the Henselt top 5 decks use him.

Spies are always good.
>>
So I'm thinking of about making a fun deck for casual built around underused cards. Faction will be NR, since I have most of the NR collection. What are some cards I could play around with? Currently thinking about stuff like

Ves
Dudu
Trollolo

Any other ideas?
>>
>>173398718
Letho
>>
>>173398718
literally all NG cards are underused because they suck, go for that
>>
>>173394837
>>173398407

I think you don't see Stennis so often anymore because the silver spots in NV have become more competitive.
Nenneke and Priscilla are always there. if you are using Baron, you are most probably using Roach too.
KOB for Priscilla and reaver scouts.
Most of the time, Decot is there, if only because something like Nenneke into Pris into Decot into either Pris again or Nenneke is decent move.
And the last spot depends. Dandelion is popular again cause it has a great synergy with the whole swarm shit.
Also, with KOB, Priscilla, Roach and the scouts, you can thin your decently without Stennis.
Still, you can make room for him if you want to.
> but both the swim's foltest swarm and the Henselt top 5 decks use him
The decks of the top players are different from the ''common'' variants.
They run into the same players a lot of the time and they know what decks they face the most, so tend to tech their decks accordingly. A lot of them have 2-3 cards that don't really fit with their deck and are constantly changing to whatever fits their needs.
>>173398718
>Ves
Risky.
You need to play her and then you need to play 3 golds, and then you need to pray the opponent doesn't Scorch all those commandos.
Commandos are not that good since they can no longer buff the others in the graveyard.
A really shitty change.
> Dudu
I think the card was changed, right? He can copy any card. Still, I don't really like it...
Can be useful against wounding SK and Consume monster...
> Trollolo
He is legit. He is not played often for reasons stated above. Silvers are tight.

I tend to go 1 or even 2 cards down to the third round, but it doesn't really matter.

Also, I thought they wanted to stop the crazy deck thinning. My opponent and I have been drawing pretty much our whole deck every game.
And before anyone says ''NG'', I do the same with NR and ST.
And even with SK I usually get my deck to ~3 cards.

>>173404014
There is no difference between ranked and casual. People use the same netdecks.
Only from time to time you find someone experimenting.

I play Nilfgard too with Morvran and every game I can go to 3/4 cards in my Deck.

The same for good builded NR Deck.

NG is just easy mode for spies, but you have to be carefull about going out of Bronze cards to put on the field.

Other than that with a lot of thinning + Morvran + Skellen + Cahir I feel like I am always playing with my whole Deck.

Hope this challenger tournament will teach CDPR a few things. We need official streams, clear rules on whether to use gwent tracker or not, spectator mode, tournament mode, etc.

I know CDPR takes a learning approach witth this game. They already improved by 200% since the start of the beta. Hopefully we get better tournaments as well in the future.

You take the faction that interests you the most and roll with it. Based on the cards you pull from kegs along the way you then choose two secondary factions that you build up as a second priority. Ignore the remaining two factions.

Example: I love the characters from NR so NR became my primary faction. I then pulled Cahir, Xarthisius, Iorveth and Milva so I chose Nilfgaard and Scoia'tael as my secondary factions. It works quite well for me, didn't even have to mill any Skellige or monsters cards.

I had really wanted to make NG as my main (before positioning patch), but the game just loves giving me SK cards for some reason. I opened pretty much every staple, no crafting needed. I've had 6 kegs where every card was SK.
I don't even enjoy playing wounding that much, but I'm just working with what I've got.

The way he akins the colour of cards to mana costs is absurd as no one bronze, silver, or gold are equal. I really don't see how having no resource system limits design space. Neither do I get his claim that the game is too simple because of only being able to play one card per turn. That's probably the most crucial part of how the game plays.

Anyone know if your card collection will carry over into open beta/release?

>>173490174
I have some experience with Magic Duels, and I gotta say the search for an opponent doesn't take longer in gwent, even though it's closed beta. Typically between 10 and 40 seconds depending on the time of the day. At least if you're in europe. I don't get the same opponent often.

>>
>>173490961
Glad to hear it, kinda hope it lasts.

While I'm here being an annoying newbie, got a waifu as my most exciting card so far, but I do have a question about her. Does her ability trigger if my opponent passes after me? I kinda assumed it did but I quit for the evening when I opened her up so I haven't played her yet. Was planning on making a Nilfgaard deck tomorrow. The impression I got was she punishes your opponent letting a round go a long time and/or punishes your opponent if he isn't paying attention to where all his power is coming from.
>>
>>173491760
Ask away anon, it's fine. Better than this thread dying yet again.

As for your question: Fake Ciri goes to your side no matter who passes first. She is quite risky though. If your opponent locks her, she won't go to your side anymore, so you basically gifted him a few points. Same goes for monster players, they will probably eat her before they pass. Use Fake Ciri cautiously. Since you're a new player I guess your opponents won't have a fitting answer for her yet, but stronger players will definitely kill her before she gets useful.
>>
>>173490174

A lot of people seem to be taking a break due to the rampant ST bullshit. There have been other games released and I think they're spending their time elsewhere.

I base this on casual games taking 45+ seconds to queue up these days and the majority of people playing Brouver or Eithne when you get in. Before this patch it was still mostly ST but not in the ratios I'm currently seeing. Ranked takes even longer to get a game and is even more heavily ST than casual.

Right now there's not much incentive to play anything other than ST. Hopefully that will change in the near future since the tournament has so many people blacklisting that faction so they'll have to investigate and fix the cause.
>>
>>173492427
I haven't seen much change in search time desu.

Henselt walks all over ST shitters anyway. I sincerely hope that CDPR adds new cards soon and makes ambushes lockable, or Vrihedd Dragoon relentless, or Aglais only affecting bronze specials. Whatever is needed to tame ST a bit.
>>
>>173492589

Last I checked Reddit they were still saying Henselt needed nerfs and ST was underpowered.

ST is easy to fix though. Scorch becomes Fleeting, Ambush cards gain 1 or 2 Health while flipped so they can be destroyed without going off, Schirru goes back to bi-directional Scorch, and perhaps Scorch gets changed to target buffed unrevealed Ambush cards.

Maybe it's just my timezone but for me Casual is 7/10 some flavour of ST and Ranked is 9/10 ST. Has been for the past three days so I'm auto-forfeiting against them and only playing other factions.
>>
>>173491760
Fake Ciri worked really well for me at lower levels. A lot of times I'd run into someone who didn't understand how she worked, and would pass at a time that would make her win me the game/round.

But she's a really shitty card otherrwise. The only place I can see her being useful is against something like a geéls swarm deck that buffs up all their units, because then she catches all the buffs and comes back as a 15-20 strength unit.
>>
>>173492837
I am based in CET. When playing at evenings I get a third ST, a quarter Foltest Swarm, another quarter ST wounding, a few consume monsters and that's it. ST is overrepresented for sure, but not that bad right now. I'm rank 15 though, maybe you're a bit lower.
>>
>>173492837
Even if they nerf ambush cards into oblivion, shitters will still complain about ST. Ambush cards aren't the problem desu. The only issue I can think of is the operator-morenn cheese bullshit, which actually is too strong of a combo because of how consistent Brouver makes the combo.

Sappers are fucking trash outside of that combo, they can fuck you over so much when you rally. Ciaran is garbo, Trappers/Fireballs are memes.

The only good ambush card is Toruviel, and she's a 14 at most.

People will complain about ST because they can easily get CA, buff up any non-ambush unit, and play it R3 after the opponent has passed, and due to shit like Isengrim and Supports generating mad tempo, as well as mercs rallying dragoons, the low strength of dragoons isn't a significant drawback in round 1.
>>
>>173492146
Thanks for the tips. Definitely don't know the card pool well enough to think of a lot of that, despite seeing some of it already like the tutorial showing me monster decks eating units for strength, etc. Haven't run into much locking yet so I haven't really grokked that mechanic well.

>>173492427
Scoiatel is annoying, eh? Haven't played/been matched against them yet, but since I'm still in the basement for matchmaking I guess that isn't surprising.

>>173492864
Ah, also true. Ciri will carry me on her beefy manly shoulders while I'm a shitter.
>>
>>173493235
People are probably complaining because it is frustrating to play against. I personally find ST not that hard to deal with, but their habit of replaying scorches and removal forces me to play some unfun shit like Henselt so they can't remove my stuff. The ST meta causes fun decks like Crach self wounding, Ge'els breeding and all Nilfgaard archetypes to die out on highest ranks. That's probably why most people are mad.
>>
>>173488626
I'll tell you if i make it to poldano
>>
>>173493637

This. You basically have to build an anti-ST deck whether you want to run in Casual or Ranked because it's the most common enemy faction by a large margin. That cuts into variety and if you simply don't have the cards to build certain archetypes (like me) means an auto-loss against anyone running Scorch Eternal or Ambush Bullshit.

I was barely scraping through in double-digits ranked by bamboozling my opponents but that option is completely gone now between CA, removal, and scorch scorch scorch.

And Casual isn't even safe from it because people who can't get a Ranked game are taking their ST decks over while everyone in the 13-15 bracket is shit scared of losing MMR so they do their dailies in Casual with their ST decks.

God have mercy on the noobs who are getting his with that shit.

Why does reddit want an Ofier faction so bad? There is no lore, no characters and no unique flair besides "generic oriental theme park". All of the unique witcher flair with the slavic/german folklore would be completely lost on ofier.

Is this a joke or...?>>173493235
>Ambush cards aren't the problem desu.
Agree.
Ambush are not the problem, the problem is the lack of interaction with them.
Buffing a card is ok, buffing an unrevealed card is bollocks, specially when you pair it with the ability to cast Scorch 3 times without problem.

Dragoons + Ambush is annoying. Not OP, just annoying.

Cintra is part of Nilfgaard thou
>>
>>173495426
Cintra is a Northern realm that is occupied by the Nilfgaardians. CDPR seems to think the same way, since the Cintrian crown princess Pavetta is a NR card. That's just nitpicking though, Cintra wouldn't be a viable faction either way.
>>
When are these new cards being released lads?
>>
>>173495426

If you give Ambush cards health while unrevealed it creates an option. ST players might try to bait Thunders, people who aren't playing SK wounding might run Tremors, etc. Is it a Fireball Trap under there or a buffed Toruviel? Either way at least you can do something about it.

>Scorch 3 times without problem

Babby's first ST deck.

Scorch
Nature's Gift -> Scorch
Aglais -> Scorch
Eithne -> Aglais -> Scorch
Renewal -> Aglais -> Scorch
Villentrentenmerth -> 2X Scorch
Schirru-> Scorch

I usually see four Scorches a game, sometimes as many as 7.
>>
>>173495426
Dragoon is a few points too powerful.
Assuming the baseline for bronzes are 8 strength, Dragoons are almost always a 9. It's even better because the 4 buff strength is not counterable. So there are two options

1) Keep the Dragoon the way it is, just make him relentless. That way you can't buff more than 12 strength in your hand.

2) Buff Dragoon to 6 Strength but reduce his buff to 2. That way you can still use wardancer and decoy and Eithne on him, but the theorethical maximum of buff strength would be 18, not 36.

>>173495515
>Cintra is a Northern realm that is occupied by the Nilfgaardians

So a Nilfgaardian province.

> Pavetta is a NR card
While Pavettas was alive, Cintra was an independent kingdom.
Anyone that lives there now, is a nilfgaard citizen.
I'm just joking, since is a stupid thing and if they were to add cards, they would add then to NR, but that doesn't change the fact that Cintra in NG now.

Not really. Like I say, it creates uncertainty. Do you Thunder it and risk wasting that card on a Fireball trap? Do you wait for them to dump a bunch of Ambush cards so you can Tremor them only for the Ambush cards to be the type that flip after two turns? That sort of thing.

I think if they were all made to flip after two turns it would be something. Ambush as a concept isn't bad, it's just the concept. And if they ad a tech card they need to either put in Ambush for all factions or accept that it makes Ambush top-tier since there's more Ambush cards than you could take a Bronze that triggers them any way, so ST would remain vastly dominant.

Ooooh you mean, after X damage, the cards get revealed?
I thought you were saying that the cards would be destroyed....

That's not as bad, but I guess that then Schirru would be in 100% of the decks.

I was thinking bout a card that would really hurt the ambush tactic, making it high risk-high reward.
Kind of like Morenn, that can destroy a golden card and gain strength from it.
>>
Relentless cards shouldn't exist

Just nerf dragoons, make them add 3 strength.
Shirru isn't even that good. Toruveil is also not OP. Morenn + operator combo is okay. ST is not OP at all, I don't get why people are so obsessed over it.

Nonsense that I often see around here.

1) CDPR changed all cards that affect gold cards except Shackles. Therefore, Eithne shouldn't be able to bounce gold cards either. Replaying Aglais is ridiculous.

2) Ambushes should be lockable. Period.

3) Dragoons should have their 4 strength buff reduced to 2.

That's all that is needed.

>>173496878
This is correct
Dragoons and Saskia/Isengrim are the main offenders in ST, not ambushes or scorch

>well, don't play shitty decks that rely on buffed up units.

Doesn't matter if you've got buffed up units or not, they play some Ambush cards and the only things that even can get Scorched are on your side since unrevealed ones can't be targeted.

>>173496815

Oh, no. I mean they get destroyed if the health on top is exhausted. Thus the risk and regard. Sure, you can buff your units, but what if someone is running Brokvars or Ballistas or the like.

>Destroying Ambush cards with generic cards?

There are more Ambush cards than any one faction has damage cards to take them out. Unless there's the risk of an ambush not going off at all it remains too powerful a mechanic, especially with ST's guaranteed CA.

With Eithne, their stated intent is that Leader cards should be somewhere between strong Silver and weak Gold. Some need to be toned down to fit into this, like Harald or Ge'els who are better than RNR. Nothing else can bounce a Gold, though admittedly Aglais is going to be a shit ton less of an issue if she can't re-cast Scorch.
>>
>>173498343
>But what do you do against aglais abuse?

Dunno, I don't have a problem with reusing Aglais. Scorch after Scorch can be annoying, but I don't think is an abuse.
Maybe Aglais can banish the card she replays?
>>
>>173498378
Nobody cares
>>
>>173498634
said the people reuploaded my shit to youtube
>>
>>173498516

There's two issues with Aglais. One is Eithne bounce, which no other faction can do. The other is that her ability is something no other faction can even approach doing, which is fine in a vacuum but the way it interacts with Eithne and Scorch makes it beyond abusive.

Nobody would really give a shit if it was Aglais->Clear Weather, Eithne > Aglais -> Clear Weather, though I suspect the next non-human scum trick would be using Lacerate or Thunderbolt.

Maybe she just needs to be limited to replaying a Weather or spawning a Weather effect, IDK.

Anon, I'm going to slap your shit.

Skellige is *way* more developed than Toussaint in either the books or the games.

>>173512882

Best part doesn't mean they get their own faction. Toussaint is part of Nilfgaard, end of story. Best-case scenario, Anarietta gets a Leader card or gold for Nilfgaard.
>>
what about another monster faction?
>>
>>173524143

I kind of wish they had separated the Wild Hunt/Aen Ell and monsters into different factions then given top-tier monsters like Detlaff or the Lord of the Woods Leader cards, but it is what it is. Doing that would run into the Toussaint problem as well, where the faction is insufficiently developed to work properly.

Monsters basically got the Squirrel treatment. Yarpen Zigrin should be an NR character, probably with a "destroy all Ambushes" special, but whatevs.

> Distant shores
Ofieri and Zerrikania. We know nothing about them, so they can do pretty much whatever they want with it.

> Novigrad
Is weird, but I could see it as either a faction or a major expansion. You know, alternate cards for the leaders of the family, thugs, lots of units for the eternal fire faction, even some specific monsters...

Nothing, really. I think they merged the NT kingdoms together cause making a eck for every kingdom is not viable.

Skellige is not a northern realm. They are completely independent, with a different culture and religion and actually kind of ''far away'' from the NR. Cintra was probably the closest kingdom.

Nilfgaard is the big hegemonic empire to the south, looking to annex the last of the continent, the Northern Realms.

NR are a collection of smaller kingdoms, primarily Temeria(Foltest) Kaedwen(Henselt) and Redania(Radovid). They've banded together to fight off Nilfgaar before, though at the moment they're in a bit of a shambles.

Skellige is a bunch of viking clans on an archipelago off shore, they don't like anybody but they dislike Nilfgaard more than the rest.

Everybody is assholes. There is no good guy ruler here, just which flavor of crazy despot you'd like best.

If enemy stacked them, burn them with Geralt Igni, alternatively weather them down. But you'll obviously need to outvalue them and probably pass at some moment. They're a card that only gets more value the longer you drag round.

>he plays non-gold cards
>>
My highly scientific opinion of having played at least one game with every deck and first starting to play last night is that northern realms is the best out of your shitter newbie collection of cards. Nilfgaard can work with a struggle but northern realms seems tolerable out of the gate.

Monsters seems really fucking bad because you're so desperate for dudes you run foglets and you don't have enough card manipulation to reliably get fogs to dump them out of your deck.

Squirrels seem like they have a lot of really good synergy that isn't particularly realized in the starter cards, so like monsters you flail a bit but you're still more reliable.

Skellige also stumbles a bit but seems like the next step up. Then Nilfgaard, then top cuckold.

Best thing I can say about the game though is it makes me want the full collection to toy around with deckmaking. Can't do much with the starter cards and I'm enjoying the game enough now I'm almost tempted to drop some shekels. Only thing holding me back is what if it dies just like every non-Hearthstone computer card game.
>>
>>173560791
It won't die.
Because the dev team is not some indie shitters without resources and experience. It's fucking CDPR. You know what announcers at the last CDPR conference were wearing under their suits? Gwent tshirts. You know what's the focus of CDPR is going to be for the next year, until Cyberpunk starts revving up? Gwent.
Apparently it's already bringing them enough money to be worthwhile, and we're still in closed beta, and still have no paid single player content they have planned. On top of that, they don't need activision-blizzard's amount of jewery and corner cutting to stay afloat, with them operating from Poland and not being an unholy devil worshiping corporation.

Jutta won't be changed, each faction will always keep a vanilla 10 for new players, although Rethaz has seemed open to Fringilla possibly getting an ability and a less popular character becoming nilf's new blank 10

Played to level 20 in casual just to see what epics/legendaries I could collect before getting the free Decoy. Are there any good decks I'm closest to? I have 2885 scraps ready to use.

I really wanted to main Nilfgaard as I like the playstyle, but from reading around it seems very high risk, low reward at the moment.
>>
>>173581230
You already have Stefan so you're pretty much set for playing Nilfgaard
>>
>>173580827

I don't think so. Sometimes having a big-name actor can detract from the game. Charles Dance is on the very edge of what would work. It's also not like Liam Neeson did a stellar job in Fallout 3, and the price to get Neeson to do that would have been well out of CDPR's means back when the first game came out.
>>
>>173582479
VA work from high class actors isn't really that expensive.
>>
>>173582847

First game was done on a shoestring budget.

>>
>>173583504

That's BS Witchers tell themselves so they feel like they don't have to get involved and commoners tell themselves so they have another reason to hate Witchers. Geralt feels plenty of emotions.

The VA for the first game was pretty ordinary but they'd smoothed it out by the third.

Sile is 10 value, 6 for her and 4 damage to the enemy.

I was thinking about dropping the skalds for something else, but I think they are the ones that give the most value, and this is kind of what this deck does.

Noice
>>
>>173621895
The drawback is that the card advantage comes in the form of Roach in your hand.
>>
>>173623234
I don't think it's a drawback. Roach main role is to thin your Deck not giving you value.

So you pull him out and get an extra card.
>>
>>173623809
You pull him out and get an extra card, but that extra card is roach.

But to do this trick, you've put down an 8 strength gold, when you could've used Milva to return a 30 strength axeman to your opponents hand, or stop an ocvist from going off, or any of the other uses of Milva, or you could've been using a different card than Milva, like Isengrim or Saskia, who can generate 20+ value easily.
>>
>>173624767
You can also win the first round, make your opponent start, and throw Roach down to bleed them for 2 cards
>>
we were doing so well today,and then page 10 again

I'm starting to doubt that we'll get new cards anytime soon. Rethaz went quiet on reddit, we don't even have confirmation that a content patch is being worked on right now, the qualifiers are over and still no word from anyone, key giveaways ended. Looks like the "20 new cards every 2 months" thing didn't last very long. Maybe CDPR will keep the game the same until the closed beta ends?

If you're still in low ranks a budget weather deck is still fine I think. Other than that it really depends on what you've already opened up through kegs and whether or not you're a collector that doesn't want to scrap 'unusable' cards.

Their worst matchup is weather and those are rampant at your level. Control deals well with NR, but gets shit on by everything else. Spies does mostly okay, but requires near perfect sequencing; rewarding though. Reveal is regarded as pretty bad last I checked.

fresh F2P here

is Reveal Nilfgaard a thing? I managed to open Vilgefortz and Cynthia so I started crafting some reveal cards like Mangonels and the Nilfgaardian Knights.

Is such an archetype even viable in the first place?

To be fair, CDPR said they want to

-rework the look and functionality of the match UI, the collection and the deck builder
-rework NR and weather
-rework the starter decks
-add a tooltip system for improved understanding of cards
-rework the tutorial completely
-rework the AI for practice matches
-various QoL changes (reconnect feature)
-tweak the way MMR works
-add 20 new cards
-add more premiums
-do the usual balancing stuff

It honestly annoys me that rethaz doesn't communicate and instead of outright saying that we'll be getting new cards or not this month, but when you look at this list, you gotta realize that, should the next patch cover even half of these points, it's gonna be one massive patch. Thus the long wait.

Henselt, Brouver, Dagon and Harald.
Then less common you have Crach Warcry, NG in general (except Emhyr), Geels swarm-devour deck and Foltest trebuchets.

After seeing a plebbit thread with hilariously bad balancing ideas I'll try one here. What cards would you change and how? Post and r8.

I'll start:

>Aglais should be relentless again
That way you can't abuse her with eithne

>Ambushes should be lockable
Bearly everyone says this, no explanation needed.

>Vrihedd Dragoon base strength buffed to 6, buff strength nerfed to 2
Also no explanation needed for that one.

>Saskia only adds the same amount of points to your side as she previously took from the opposing side
When I play Henselt and I only got Roach out, it's quite ridiculous that Saskia still buffs her entire board by one point even though she only damaged me by 1.

>Yennefer spawns a silver Unicorn/Chironex
That way NR players like me won't automatically get ridiculous value out of her thanks to siege towers. Other factions won't even be affected.

>When using Radovid on your own side, he should unlock all three units and add 2 base strength
You can only use him offensively right now.

>effects and turn timers need to be standardized
Not exactly a card change but right now I see no pattern in which effect goes off first and which one after that. The card played first has to go off first.

>Roach needs to spawn next to the gold card after its effects have been played.
Prevents Vilgefortz/Milva shenanigans.

Man playing NR competitively is so boring. Silver spots are so tight that Priscilla Nenneke and Stennis go in every deck. Leaving only 3 spots for actual deckbuilding. And we all know these 3 spots are always a variation of KoB, Roach, Decoy and Dandelion. Sure, other factions also always have 2 must-have silver slots, but it's not nearly as bad as in NR. With Margarita, Pavetta, Trollolo and Sabrina we even have solid replacement silvers, but why ever use these?

Same with gold slots. Triss: Butt, Vernon Roche, Phil and to a lesser extent John Natalis are all solid cards. But all you ever see is Shani, Baron and a variation of neutrals. This needs to change.

Take ST for example: the only gold cards they don't use competitively are Ithlinne and Zoltan.
>>
>>173712353
Silvers in SK are also tight.

And they have some of the crappiest golden cards.
>>
>>173712353

>>173712445
SK always runs Sidrgrifa and Restore, is there a third silver they always need to use? And I agree about the Gold cards, but Skellige has tge most solid bronzes next to NG so it's pretty even.

Bullshit man. Community is still growing. Much more slowly than previously, but that's due to the fact that there are no more giveaways, and thus no new players. No one on plebbit is actually pissed at CDPR. Maybe a few doomsayers in the general, but you guys will always say that people are leaving. Search qeue for matches is still as short as ever for me, I almost never search longer than 30 seconds.

If you are bored of the meta that's fine. Leave the game and come back when it's patched. The cool thing about gwent is that you actually can leave for a few weeks without being unable to catch up afterwards.
>>
>patch is out for barely 3 weeks
>people already bitch about the meta

Maybe it's YOU who are the problem, not the game? Do you expect them to patch this game every weekend? This might surprise you, but once this game is released patches will be even less frequent. What are you gonna do then? Jesus man, compare this to HS or Magic. It's literally worlds apart because CDPR actually patches stuff and doesn't only wait for rotation.

To be honest, I haven't really felt the effects of this 'oppressive ST' meta lots of people complain about everywhere. Maybe I've just been fortunate with my MUs, I don't know. I'm still only rank 13 though. It's definitely not as bad as other CCGs at this moment I'll tell you that.

Every game will always have a class/faction that's played to hell and back. Once one accepts that and that you aren't meant to win every game it's a lot easier on you. For me personally.

>>173765857

ST is busted at the moment because of Scorch effects, Ambush, and Eithne. Scorch needs to be fleeting and there has to be some way to counter Ambushes, certain golds like Aglais and Schirru need to be relentless, and other than that it's not too bad. It's just that playing ST is pretty much a free ride up the ladder against every other faction right now.

They also need to put a cap on cards like Harald and Ge'els and do something about Mad Rad the Control Lad.

>>173771548

Dwarves were pretty broken because they regained Resilience at the start of every round. Other than that it was pretty good really.
>>
>>173775718
thank you for those lovely anecdotes, let me just remind you that there are no new players incoming on account of all the giveaways ending

>>
>>173776065
I don't think fleeting scorch is a sensible solution. You should totally be able to replay Scorch. Once. Everything else is completely overkill. So in my opinion, leave scorch as it is, but make Aglais relentless (as you already said) and change Nature's Gift to replay any bronze-only special card in your graveyard.

That way you can Scorch the board exactly twice, but not 4 times.

Listen closely. All the posts about how the game is unbalanced and boring are made by individual players that are not having fun playing the game. Each of those posts and upvotes is one player that is going to play the game less or stop entirely.
>>
This game will be good if grind rewards will get better
>>
>>173776441

4 is on the low end for a properly built ST deck.

Scorch
Nature's Gift
Geralt: Igni
Aglais
Schirru

All fit into a ST deck without trouble. From there they add Eithne->Aglais, Renewal-> Aglais/Schirru/GIgni, and maybe a Borkh. Combine that with Ambush cards not being targeted by Scorch and having two one-way Scorch cards makes it a bit silly.

I don't really mind Schirru being one-way Scorch but I think they need to change it to him triggering when the ST player uses a special if they want to keep that.
>>
>>173776890
All those downvoted posts with people mocking the OP for being salty? You're a funny guy anon. I've yet to see a single highly upvoted plebbit post where people say they're leaving.

And even if it was really true and everyone on plebbit upvotes posts saying they're leaving the game, where does it say that the upvoters are also leaving or playing less? Huge assumption on your part.

>>173777148

They need a pity timer on card rarity so if you open 10 kegs with nothing worth more than 10 scrap you get something decent, something like that.

Maybe also have a look at removing GGs, at the moment I give them out like candy unless my opponent was a shitmerkin who forced me to wait until the last 5 seconds of the timer every turn but get them back less than one game in five because people are trying to hoard their advantages both now and for when Beta ends.

Or maybe people think that sending a GG costs them five ore or scrap? Fucked if I know.

>>
>>173777207
I actually rarely see these kind of extreme scorch decks. When all you pack is scorches, you can't really accumulate value yourself and are thus likely to lose the game 2-0 against a good player. Schirru should definitely be changed. Both players being able to triggering him is dumb. Only the opponent should be able to. Geralt:Igni is fine because he can be a dead draw in round 3. Borkh is fine because of the long timer.

I dunno mate. I'm based in CET, used to have load times between 30 and 60 secs. Now it's between 20 and 40.

24 wins giving you 50 ore is a bit ridiculous

I-I have...

It lasted for a long, long time.
I played for days during the first weeks.
I have +300 hours in the game and probably the first 120 are from the first 3-4 weeks. I played a fuckton.
I got to level 14 during the first day of the beta.
>>173777207
That's bollocks. 90 % of the decks are Brouver, not Eithné.

Say what you want, I still think Consume monsters is the broken faction, but whateva...
>>173777649
Nah, not timezone, but MMR dependent. Even in casual.
>>173778401
>24 wins giving you 50 ore is a bit ridiculous
3 wins giving you 100 ore is ridiculous too
Or fuck, even 6 defeats giving you 100 ore .

Pretty easy to farm

>>173778401
>>173779749
Yeah, really like that 30 scraps for 6 wins
The cards you get at level up besides Ciri and decoy shouldn't be randomized.

What, mate?
You can lose 6 games on a row and get 100 ore + whatever the milestones fve you.
>The cards you get at level up besides Ciri and decoy shouldn't be randomized.
Why not?
I'm ok with it.
Only thing I'd change would be giving a random legendary card much sooner. I think now you get the first one at level, what? 40?
Give one sooner, so people gets more into the game.

>>173336038
So, are there any bots for this game yet? I am getting tired of grinding out normal games til I can get enough scraps to make a full deck.
>>
>>173788559
that is actually a nice idea,i would love to make a bot for this, ill see whats possible with the api
>>
>>173789564
Thanks.

Hearthstone was actually fun when I could bot the game, the quests weren't so stupid, and the 100g daily cap was obtainable.

I've been playing this past week and my queue times have never been above 30 seconds.

I'm ~lv 14 and only rank 3 so I don't understand what you're saying.

>>173792525
>wave bans
they only happened once blizz paid off the bot maker to put in a pattern that they could monitor.

I botted for months and never got banned, I used an old version of it; You could tell something was fishy when there was an option to randomize the card play times in earlier versions; that got taken away after a month or so and THEN blizz banned a lot of people, then suddenly there is no more bot to use.

i love this fucking game
all those retarded animations made my life more enjoyable
>>
>>173777148
Tiers 1 and 2 are perfect the way they are. Past that it's kind of ridiculous how they double the requirement and lessen the ore more.

Some days I get time to reach tier 3 and am game to play even more, but I just stop after that. One thing I do love is how those days, with the intermediary rewards within tiers, I can buy 4-5 kegs depending the GGs I get.

what is up with the wierd mill ratios on rarities
common 30:5
rare 80:10
epic 200:50
legendary 800:200
1/6 1/8 1/4 1/4
just why are rares so pathetic, they had better done some heavy math on this because getting a duplicate rare when you still need dont have a full collection should not be this bad
>>
>>173809851
its probably set to 10 to standardize average keg values, idk why crafting cost is 80 but its not like crafting cost of rares really matter
>>
Guys don't make a new thread.
Without me the thread would have died 20 times already and I don't want to bump it anymore.
This way we don't have to see how it dies ;_;
>>
>>173811150
>b-but the player count is growing
>>
i hope they make more player avatars. Surely we cant all just be Geralt. I want to see them add Dandelion. His taunt would be the most obnoxious thing.
>>
>>173812213
I would like it if they added a Letho avatar
>>
>>173812213

I dunno. I kinda hope that they don't add too many other characters.

Especially not Yen, her condescension would be fucking insufferable.

Thaler would be awesome but unfortunately the game isn't rated highly enough for his proper dialogue.
>>
>>173811150
Has there ever been "successful" generals for closed beta games anyways? It's still technically a secret club despite the amount of keys that have gone out.

>>173812213
Emhyr please.
>>
>>173812514
I would pick Thaler over all the waifus
>>
>>173812560

>Emhyr please.

If it was Charles Dance, hell yes. The new VA is pretty shit though.

Why? He's decent
>>
>>173813095
Does Emhyr have a different VA?
>>
>>173813479

Yes.

>>173813284

Going from elder god tier to "decent" (and calling the new VA decent is being nice) is a hell of a quality drop.

Thing is, that part of Thaler's personality is just a charade.

In TW1 you can see that when he is not acting, he is regular dude. No swearing or cursing...
