/gwt/ - GWENT: The Witcher Card Game General

what deck to hyper thin burnouts move on to?

there's not a single attractive woman in the witcher universe.

...

of course it died
patches take forever because CDPR wants to wait for no reasons but MUH GAYMSCON
no news or communication with playerbase for months. when even the devs act like its a dead game how should we do anything different

The foreshortening in this picture is so fucked.

perfect example. even the passable women make themselves unattractive by wearing that thick slut makeup.

We need more ESL posting to keep the thread afloat. What are your favorite decks? I enjoyed playing blue/green but I've switched to white/red because all the token decks were giving me the shits. I've been luckier on my blue/green card pulls but Tazkad and Queen Barenziah don't help when you're getting weenied to death.

can u give me an example?

olgeird enters the graveyard and loses his buff points and resurrect with his base strength cut by half, if you strengthen him (for example with the wild board of the sea) that does carry over. but buff (like potions) don't

What is this blue/green and white/red code language?

>even Mogwai is saying that the game feels stale now
When did it all go so wrong? We were supposed to kill HS n shiet...

wait for the patch™

Concept art Keira!

lets homebrew the biggest meme deck ever

If they continue this trend with 20 cards per 3 months, this game will be dead before the next year

>will be

Trying to be positive here, but the way its looking isnt very good which is a shame but not that surprising since rethaz is what he is..

gwent got a pretty big userbase (in terms of people who signed up for it) for such a young CCG still in open beta though. it really depends on future development

>will be

Does scoiatel have any use for olgierd?

it's rare to see someone running olgeird outside of SK but it happens sometimes, ST really should bother with him though

>Last patch was 20 years ago
youtube.com/watch?v=JwYX52BP2Sk

shouldn't bother*

Giving too much scape was a mistake
Making only a handful of decks viable was a mistake
Making every unit the same was a mistake
Being fair and having a soft grind was a mistake

A free2play game has to be like an abusive husband

Punish and torture the player and only show him your good side one in a while

I used to be upset, now my mind is blank and my countenance is that of peace

is jutta worth using? obviously I don't have her but the last wish in this case is premium

if the last wish is a premium it mills for more than a regular, although crafting jutta would cost you more than that, she isn't very good but if you are planning on having a self wounding SK deck one day you'll probably want her

With zoltan animal tamer, can you choose where you want the birds to go? There is 1 that says "damages enemies on both sides" but u can only play it on your row right?

one's a loyal bird that buffs allies and the other is disloyal (meaning you play it on the opponent's side rather than your own) that damages their cards

You play the bird that deals damage as a spy.

Always pick the premium.

just let it die, this can't kill Hearthstone

Those of you that see dwarf players at 4200+, what golds do they use normally? Im just stuck at 3900.

Agreed. CDPR have proven themselves inept CCG developers.

I saw Zoltan AT, Ithlinne, Saskia, and Igni at 4150.

I've seen Saskia dropped for Royal Decree to increase the odds of having Ithlinne

>queue with 38 card foltest
>first opponent is millgaard

>escape
>enter

>It's a "Your opponent ropes every single turn even though everyone knows what every deck is as soon as the game starts and there is 0 thought to any play in the entire game"

Better than hyper-thin vs millgard. I'd never seen a deck milled in round 1 before.

Please merge with /wtc/. The Triss autist is not that bad.

fuck off id rather a dead general than fucking /wtc/

Fuck Skellige and Monster decks. That's all I have to say.

u mean every netdeck?

Why the fuck does succ still go off after both players pass? Is it too much to ask for some goddamn consistency

>When even Shoop is trying his damnedest to get you to stop playing Gwent

I took a break during the reign of Dagon - are we back to closed beta levels of dead? What happened?

No cards, no campaign, no fun decks, no fun, Rethaz, Reddit, Swim, Liabells still has not fed me her farts until my stomach bursts.

DEAD
GAME

Pretty much. There is just no creativity to it.

We're all playing TES:L

I'm pushing nearly 5,000 soul gems now and I still can't decide what cards I want to craft. I've got a really solid basic collection now with all the Skyrim premade decks, full Dark Brotherhood, the madhouse collection, and a good stack of random packs but I'm hard pressed to think of anything I desperately want more than the rest. There's a lot of shit I want, like a set of Hist Groves would be good for ramp decks, especially since I've got 3 of the epic green/purple argonians that ramp, have guard, and increase attack with ramping. Daggerfall mages are expensive as shit but really good. Those undying dragons or whatever the fuck they're called are nice. Supreme atromancers are nice. Miraak is nice. Bunch of good cards but I can't figure out which I want since I've already got a few tolerable decks.

I guess I could go look up some gud gittin top end netdecks but I haven't really been netdecking ESL and it's been working out pretty well so far.

Although after saying that, I did kind of want Ungolim the Listener for some dumbfuckery shenanigans. Make a green/blue resummon deck with shit like dark pact and a night to remember, and cards that benefit from it like Ungolim, the 1/2 atromancer summoner, etc. Then just bounce that elf on my dick as much as possible to fill my deck with assassins.

When will Gwent have twitch drops?

is esl mobile really worth downloading user im getting desperate

Post OC card ideas that can spice this train wreckage of a game up

>Gold card with deploy ability of having an option to demote itself, but gain some kind of ability/bonus str for it
>Aerothurge: reverse the effects of weather from damaging to boosting your units as long as weather master is on board
>Traitor card: at the end of each turn, move to whichever side is currently winning
>Proper assassin (not shit assassin NG is about to get): timer 2: at the start of your opponent's turn, destroy the unit to the left
>1 str Ambush card: Spring whenever the opponent plays a gold card and draw a card.
>As much as hate Cuckstone, we need a gold card that functions like Loatheb (deploy: any special card the opponent plays the next turn will have it's effect changed to spawning a 6 str unit)
>Falconer: Spawn a 2 str Eagle (disloyal) that deals 2 damage to any unit placed on that row. The Eagle returns to your side after the opponent passes.
>Imperial Golems rework: now they operate similar to BS commandoes, but have 3 str and come out whenever you play a silver unit
>Sacrificial circle: Gold special 'weather'. At the end of your opponent's turn, if there is an odd number of units on this row, destroy the unit in the middle

Haven't the slightest idea user. I don't play videogames on telephones. The game itself is reasonably fun though, and the free shit collecting is tolerable so long as you idle for Twitch drops and spend your gold on the Skyrim premade decks first, then Dark Brotherhood, then play solo arena until you get rank 1.

The reasoning behind that is the Skyrim decks are really good value for 500 gold and are fairly playable in constructed as-is and give you some staple cards and legendaries to play with.
Then Dark Brotherhood is solid since you'll get some good shit but not at the same rate as the premade decks.
Then solo arena because once you get decent at it every time you rank up you get an extra sack of gold, so you end up spending 150 to play and get 140 or so back as well as 2-3 packs and gems and shit.

It's really fun and super f2p friendly

Fuck Nilfgaard
- CDPR

I can't bring myself to play another HS clone with some bells and whistles attached to it to have an illusion of uniqueness, like double lanes and runes. Maybe I should just wait for Artifact™

Truly Valve are the saviours of gaming

I only watch Mogwai to see him do silly things

Felt good getting this on my daily.

Shame the game is mega ded

j

Is this a living game with active community general?

Nope.

We pretty actively make fun of how inactive it is, for what that's worth

I have no clue why some people even assumed/wanted that Gwent would be the best big thing. It is deeper than the alternatives and simple games are always the most popular: keep your HS, Dota, CS crap to yourselves, I just want to enjoy a nice card game by myself that is not P2W and allows player expression.

I love to express myself with the same 5 netdecks, or losing every game

Sounds like you just cannot theorycraft by yourself. I'm at Master by never browsing GwentDB. Would be higher but I took a break from grinding ranked to create more decks in casual.

I'm sure you did, big guy

In fact, I don't even understand people who netdeck, where's the fun in card games then?

80% of the fun in card games comes from developing and polishing your own decks, seeing what needs to change as you play, making the changes and slowly coming up with something solid. The actual gameplay is just a testing ground, not the actual source of fun even when there are some interesting moments.

The same applies to actually buying cards: collecting cards is maybe 15% of the whole fun, yet there are people who just buy everything with real money and skip the whole process just to gain an advantage in matches.

People who spend real money on cards and netdeck are just making the game unfun by themselves in my opinion, desu.

Jesus. I don't know if my MMR got too high on ESL casual or what, but it's as bad as Gwent. Every opponent is running a fully blinged out optimized 90,000 soulgem deck. Even the fucking aggro players are dropping legendaries every turn.

How good is Ge'els in higher ranks?
Seems you sacrifice gold slot for thinning and more reliable drawing of gold/silver.
Does ge'els -> frightener -> gold card combo work?

>Does ge'els -> frightener -> gold card combo work?

Yes. Works with Giant Toad, too. Ge'els might be the single best card in Gwent.

And what if you already have good thinning, is he still valuable?
Don't know if wait for patch to open kegs, or just craft him now.

Monster decks don't really rely on thinning. The value Ge'els gives you is more about consistency. It makes your spy much less of a risk, it can guarantee you a good card in the next round, and it can let you strategize and plan ahead. If you have any desire to play a Monsters deck, you need Ge'els.

Thanks, I guess I'll try him, have 15k scraps anyway.

>15k scraps
Explain.

Is this fucker secretly the best gold card in a game?
>7th silver card for one of the best silvers in a game

>Schirru, Gold: Turn a bronze card into a silver card.
>Johnny, Silver: Get a free Gold card.

fml being nilfgaard is suffering

Mill nerfed cards right after patch, you will receive full scrap value for nerfed cards (800 if it costs 800 to craft).

how the fuck is morvran this low, is reveal really worse than literal meme-tier harald?

>tfw running out of last patch mill gains

Down to 2000 after trying a bunch of different meme decks. This patch needs to go ahead and hit so that I can re-up. I have an ubsurd amount of spares this time

Even an Axemen deck running Harald is better than Reveal.

>build an archetype with only one win condition
>it's a bunch of buffed bronzes that are weak to 20 different effects
>don't give them any tools to play around those effects

>not collecting all the cards
That explains. Though you still have tons of ore too, I guess you either spend real money or grind like crazy.

Yes, Harald is just a bad leader, Reveal is bad archetype

>either spend real money or grind like crazy
I just do 175 ore dailies every day, did not spend ore since the middle of june.
Apparently open beta starts in China in the end of august after gamescom, maybe they'll release the patch then, maybe even later.
There's a rumor they are changing some mysterious core game mechanic that has been in gwent since Witcher 3. They are reworking 1/3 of card base, so it is going slow. Also single player campaign may not even be in this patch.

Johnny only works like that with Dash and Cerys though, and you need to draw either together with Johnny, so its a gamble, Schirru is guaranteed value.

You're right, but I wouldn't say it's guaranteed. You might not have a card you want to sacrifice to Schirru.
