Electronico6 posted:Seeing CDPR just chuck an entire cornerstone and identity of their game design in the bin because they know it's going to more trouble than is worth down the line, gives me hope that we won't see them getting stuck with dumb ideas and poor decisions made on during early design, then try to tap dance and ignore the overall problem like Team 5 is doing with their Evergreen/Standard/Wild rotation scheme. The whole thing has felt like an actual beta, with lots of communication from CDPR and every update bringing pretty big changes. So far I haven't seen any missteps so I'm excited for open beta to start. BTW: You will get end of season ranked rewards from closed beta in the open beta. The only glimpse we've had of the actual rewards was very briefly in the stream...  ...but it looks like you get a keg for each rank, on top of an increasing amount of scraps and meteorite powder. At the very least, rank 15 should guarantee upgrading a legendary card to premium on top of 15 kegs and and, i'm guessing, ~800 scrap.  Shiiit I'm gonna have like a hundred packs to open next week

Here is a reddit post outlining the changes, including cards, from yesterdays stream: https://www.reddit.com/r/gwent/comments/6brhuq/open_beta_changes_stream_reveal_may_17/ My favorite change would have to be the weather change, which I didn't realize until today was a specific effect that can be applied to any row and only affects one side of the field. For example, biting frost could be played on the ranged or siege row now and does 1 damage every turn. Also, and this is kind of tied to weather, Ragh Nar Roog now seems really powerful, as it should be. It's now applied to all of your opponents rows and does 3 damage to the highest strength unit(s) on that row.

They also did a Polish stream today, if you want to see more cards: https://www.reddit.com/r/gwent/comments/6bxjwh/polish_stream_is_on/?st=j2usrofo&sh=6d770afd Wild Hunt is now all-in on frost synergies.

So NR is pretty much a completely new faction, every card is changed. They really didn't like the gold synergy and summon/resurrect mechanics it seems. It looks like a... buff faction now?

They really didn't like the gold synergy and summon X from your deck mechanics it seems Having a faction partially built around stopping interaction from your opponent was another big problem. They said on the Polish stream today that anything that was shown on the streams from NR shouldn't be taken as final, since they're still actively tweaking stuff much moreso than the other factions. I think you'll see armor/machines and bond/trio as core mechanics, along with possibly weather.

When you promote that kind of mechanic and than have a faction identity that exclusively works with gold cards, you end up with something hard to balance and unimaginative. Honestly it seems like NR, Monsters and Nilfgaard are going to play completely different. Maybe less so with Nilfgaard, but they are definitely getting trickier, sneakier and more interactive than anything we've seen before.

A new thread seems like a good idea since it'll be leaving closed beta and I think the PS4 client is launching at the same time? so that's a new platform + no more wipes, good time for it. at the very least let's ditch the random hearthstone bashing title since this game's about as divorced from that game as it's possible for a card game to be.

I was gonna start writing one. I just wish we knew what the starter decks looked like already so I could include writeups on how to play the starting decks and what route to probably go with them. I'll get started on it and can just edit the original post or reserve the first post slot to add stuff after they are released. I probably won't post it until towards the end of the weekend or the day of the open beta release.

New KoB is really weird. Pretty decent in R2 if you've won R1, bad if you lost it, funny in round 3. Everyone getting a redraw is crazy. I'm actually a bit surprised the devs didnt keep thinning around while upping the deck size, but it seems instead like they're making a lot of the thinning effects less strong than before (KoB and all of NR most noticeably). Not at all looking forward to 6 str war longships tbh.

No Wave posted:New KoB is really weird. Pretty decent in R2 if you've won R1, bad if you lost it, funny in round 3. KoB is going to be used more for extra synergy than his actual ability. Reveal him and use as a nuke for Nilfgaard, Discard and nuke for Skellige, Consume with Kayran for monster, and so on. If they want to keep the design like that I imagine they are going to make him a 5 while in your hand and then buff to 10/15 instead of the other way around.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Why are they nerfing Geralt? It's not really a nerf as strength across the board is down. They are wanting games to hover around 100 strength at completion and not 150+. It looks like a nerf, but in the frame of all the changes, it's not. Geralt will probably be one of the golds in all of the starter decks.

Irony Be My Shield posted:A bunch of better golds aren't being changed, though. Probably because they are in line with where CDPR wants them to be. Plus, it's only open beta and nothing is set in stone, even in release. If he needs a buff, they'll buff him. But he looks to be just a basic gold card and will almost certainly be in the starter decks, which is why they want him to be so plain.

What the gently caress is this drop hack looking bullshit? Three times now this morning my opponent ropes out when they're losing and instead of discarding a card the timer gets stuck on 0 for a few seconds and then it throws me out of the game and credits a win to my opponent. I get no progress to rounds won and no xp but it does dump my rank.

Wow Gwent is looking amazing with the new patch. It's starting to look like a really polished card game. And yea, the new animations are amazing. I really want to get someone to make me an animated avatar with the new Ragh Nar Roog animation, but I was gonna wait until the patch was released.

Here are the new starter decks. Though the NR one will most likely change when OB hits as it's the only one that doesn't have the same type of build as the others with 3 Class golds. https://imgur.com/a/wFYN4#Jp1ASzh The recipes are 1 faction gold(Hjalmar for Skellige, Saskia for ST, Cahir for NG, Imlereth for Monsters) and 3 neutral Golds(Geralt, Triss Merigold and Royal Decree), 1 Class Sliver(Blackhand for SK, Barclays for ST, Peter Saar for NG, Nithral for Monsters and 5 Neutrals(Commander Horn, Cow, Scorch, Manticore Venom, and decoy!).

I want to know if I should stop playing ranked so I don't fall down a level. for ranks 1-15 it's the highest attained, no matter how low you tank your mmr you won't lose those. but if you mean the overall player ranking post rank 15, rewards for rank 1000 to 1 depend on maintaining enough mmr to keep your spot, and it's a bloodbath around 1000 so with mmr inflation if you're rank 1000 right now in as little as an hour you'd probably drop below that.

Anyone got any suggestions for me to tweak my deck before the wipe? http://gwentify.com/decks/pre-wipe-consume/ It's a modified consume deck based on what I had and what I could afford. I don't think I'll be able to amass another legendary so I'm wondering if I could slot in two purples instead of my ghouls. Deck is running pretty smoothly so far though down here in the rank 4 slums.
