I loved discard Skellige and it makes me happy to see Bran back in action.

What the hell, the deck management tutorial for 100 ore or w/e just had me transmute a card except I think it actually used up 100 meteorite powder I got the card, and a premium clear skies isn't the worst, but... e: maybe I'm too tired and it was just the 100 powder it gives you for the tutorial.

After about 60 kegs I've gotten ~12 or so epic choices, another 10 or so that weren't actual choices, and 2 legendary choices. e: And then I got a Triss: Butterfly as a non-choice.

Hit level 3. You CAN mill leaders, but they're legendary so you're gonna pay out the rear end to re craft them. Ended up with almost 3k scrap from my 125 kegs, still got 8 or so free kegs to collect when I finish the challenges for scrap. Pretty satisfying collection too; netted all commons, almost all rares, a good amount of epics, six legendaries, and a buttload of premiums... probably 20 or so, including a legendary premium and three epic premiums. You get a good amount of powder back from milling premium commons/etc, so if there's a leader/legendaries/etc you really want to turn premium, you can probably do it fairly quickly. Already made 30 powder just getting to level 3 too, so that's nice.

Level up rewards seem to only be kegs, scraps, meteorite powder, and random (?) cards. No more free ciri etc I guess. Rank up rewards also seem to have been nerfed? I recall getting 800 scraps at some point in closed beta, now it mostly just scales up at 1 keg, 25 scrap, or 100 powder at each individual rank up.

Only 3 leaders left to beat to finish unlocking all of them, and discard Skellige is whomping on every AI so far except Dagon, who forced me to actually put some clear skies and armorsmiths in my deck.

ShowTime posted:So weather is still really good and is kicking my rear end every game it's played in. And that's not even Drought/Rag like expected. Yeah Gremist is already auto-include in every Skellige deck I play just for the clutch clear skies, and being able to bounce him with sigrfrida is too good when it's a straight weather deck. Weather also adds a lot of value to all the multi-row cards, but then sometimes you play into drought/rag... I'll probably put together a weather monsters deck at this rate though, weather seems stronger than it did before the change but maybe I need to play it and learn the weaknesses.

Unless the generic "card"s on the rewards table are the old level up rewards of a specific cards, maybe not. No way to know for a few weeks until people level up again. I'd probably take the Ciri either way. e: She used to be a level 18 reward, the new reward at 18 is a keg. There is "1x cards" at level 20, but you're probably super safe to grab that Ciri.

Asehujiko posted:What do I put in a northern realms artillery deck to make it not suck? It can't do huge swings unless the enemy lets me set up for ages and if that doesn't happen I'm stuck playing 2/4's that do maybe 2 damage most of the time. Pick 1-2 siege and 1 type of crew for them at most, I think. Use them as tools in a greater control deck. If you run all of them, their lower base stats will suffer versus all the weather effects out there and you'll experience what it sounds like you already did, with all your combo pieces dying one by one. I can see a -looot- of potential in both of the Ballistas for big weather super slams though, build those as pieces in a big control shell? Constantly keeping your opponent on their toes about Scorch or weather effects cleaving a whole row sounds pretty fun.

Queensguard nerf is fine as long as it's going with some kind of an indirect buff to make it less feast or famine against nilfgaard and monsters. Pulling 20-30 power turn 1 round 3 every game isn't good, but nor is getting super slammed by medics and consume and losing every game either.

General Morden posted:i'll just say this as a player who has been playing since really early closed beta OTOH, they were able to tell when something flat out wasn't working or a good idea, and drop it entirely (the faction buffs). I think weather is pretty close to being in a great spot right now, it's mostly the gold weather cards that are outright too strong. Even if you answer them immediately, you lost 6-9 power and a turn. And if you weren't spreading your units on row, you get blown out by normal weather! Weather is kind of important, because without it, you might as well drop the whole row mechanic entirely, and so much of the game's depth is lost. I think they're on the right track, at least.

Electronico6 posted:This is still the beta, more changes are coming and a lot more cards, so it's likely that there won't be scrap refunds. Yeah I looked into it when I asked the other day, and CDPR's official reply on the topic (at the time, it was closed beta) was that they couldn't afford to do scrap refunds and have large and frequent total card overhauls as often as they do. Maybe post beta, but for now it's staying as it is. Completely understandable, and I'm willing to look the other way as long as it's in beta, but it sucks cuz I'd craft RNR right away too. Wicked Them Beats posted:Don't have all of these cards but I just tested this build with most of the parts and 3 wins in a row so far. Once against a monster player spamming frost. Yeah I'm 100 scraps away from crafting Geralt:Igni (he's so good in so many other decks too...) and then I'm gonna give it a spin with a couple of subs, like the one for wild boar of the sea. e: SuperJJ just queued into a guy playing it and lost to a budget version that played Triss and no other golds in the game he beat SuperJJ, on top of no clear skies or weather mage. "This deck looks super strong. It's exciting to see a deck that looks stronger than your own! Morkvarg and Olgierd, just like the good old days..." Longships + Hunters are just brutal. He even lost an 11 strength hunter to a vico medic and easily won the round

I guess you could break the limit if you actually bought more than that with cash but that can't be many people. Having a special mming pool for actual newbies vs closed beta veterans would've been a good idea, yeah. Probably a worthwhile investment going forward too, but eh

I haven't seen him much since the patch (stiff competition among silvers, I guess) but he's pretty sweet with the new mulligan system. Use him for mega value in a round you plan to lose and enjoy trading him away next round for a real card on top of card advantage!

I think the game may be some kind of a loss leader or sorts, to attract more people to gog galaxy. Like they'll make a ton of money b/c card game are cheap as poo poo to produce, but I think the intent is to try and get that core audience on gog galaxy so they can actually use it for other things and go "oh hey there's people using our product sell games on gog"

And Weather Monsters isn't top tier at all, it's just more frequent at low ranks. I'm rank 9 and I'm not seeing it as often, now it's usually either Spy Nilfgaard, Buff Skellige, Consume Monsters, Blue Stripes NR and a bunch of weird Sco'iatael decks. That said, I am playing Weather Monsters, but with a few techs to counter Nilfgaard and Skellige decks that put a bunch of big boys on the board. All the rnr/drought havers are in ranked, dont worry.

ShowTime posted:Imperial Golems are most definitely the strongest bronze unit in Nilfgaard. Almost certainly gonna get changed too, but they are only bronze so it's no big deal. Add 9 strength to the board in 3 different units and thinning out your deck by 3 is great. Especially with John Calveit. Your first or second turn basically turns into a 14-23 point play. Hitting that The Guardian you were looking for off him feels so good. Pretty much how I feel every game where ST and Nilf don't mess up the mulligan and go first https://clips.twitch.tv/FurtiveBreakableAnteaterThunBeast Kawabata posted:I'm rank 9, not level 9. Yes I'm seeing RNR and droughts from time to time but they aren't ruining my experience at all. I find Skellige is much more aggravating against my deck but still not Hearthstone unfair. Ah. My experience is still seeing it almost every game, but it can depend on what deck you yourself are playing on if they'll actually play it or not, since people are better at playing and playing around rnr/drought. People will sit on RNR for a long time if I get a big morkvarg on the board, since they know it'll just get decoyed and I'm not gonna fill the other rows if I can't help it.

The thing with Morkvarg, and the NG/ST deploy swings, is that you have to be willing to play some card advantage down now. There's no more last turn d-bomb/weather/etc to blow you out so card advantage isn't as amazing as it was in CB. I got dunked by a Monster playing willing to play ... it was 3 CA down by baiting me to pass while I was 20 str up in round 1, I think? Then he locks Morkvarg, kills it, and steals it with Caretaker to win round 1, then ended up winning round 2 as well when I failed to bounce back after blowing too many buffs on Morkvarg in round 1.

RatHat posted:I wonder how they'll nerf Queensguard. Losing 3 power(1 each) isn't enough but losing 6(2 each) might be too much. I guess maybe remove their Veteran ability? So they'd be the same strength in round 1, 3 less round 2, and 6 less round 3. Maybe leave them as is, but each queensguard summons 1 other queensguard rather than all of them? Hitting them for 2 but buffing cerys some small amount to compensate would also be okay I spend 5 or so games playtesting a discard skellige deck revolving around ciri:dash and man, it's just an inferior queensguard. You get really strong turn 1/2s thanks to longships and raiders, but it has no way to close out a game and ciri certainly isn't doing it since half the time she doesn't show up and even best case scenario she ends up at 15 or 16 str. I should probably give up on my dream of making ciri:dash work. That said, Discard Skellige seems like it has potential and is straight forward to play. Just not sure what silvers and golds it needs to best tie it together. Restore is so terrible now.
