/gwt/ - GWENT: The Witcher Card Game General

why my ranked win/loose point rate is so bad?
win +18/loose -26
am i being punished for something?
doing something wrong?

Once you reach 4k, you start losing more than you gain.

Dipping below 50% before 4k means you're bad

hmm, so thats why every one is playing with cancer decks

don't die

anyone know how to replace board image with custom image. I downloaded 7days to die asset editor thing and when I edit the image it breaks. anyone can help replace board image with custom image?

What the fuck are you talking about?

enjoy your ban...

someone convince me not to fall to my lust for more meteorite powder and go full dagon

The game being multi-platform probably plays a part

Patch when

end of august/early september

CDPR would have to be assholes if they banned for visual modding though. Would ruin their flawless reputation.

And no, the length of this beta has not ruined their reputation.

The amount of kegs people get is fine.

Netdecking kills Gwent. People do not understand that the quality of deck depends on what decks people play. If everybody starts playing metadecks, a deck to counter that deck appears and so on.

There's extreme netdecking in every single card game and I for the life of me can't figure out why people constantly bring it up as if it's a real issue

too much keg is a way to netdecking,
if rare [strong] cards are hard to get people would be home brewing.
they should be giving lots of green dust and veeery few kegs...

So that game would become P2W? That's always the worst option.

It is a real issue. The games are often fine, but people kill the fun by themselves. When they buy a game, instead of playing it and getting into problemsolving, they just go online to see what they are supposed to do, then do it. People have turned bad, not games.

this is still beta why are they selling kegs anyway...

Why does every player go for a 2-0 in ranked? Why? Every single time. No exceptions. Literally every game. FUCK.

What deck do you play?

It doesn't matter. That's the point. I get triggered by these fucks going for a 2-0, so I switch decks, and it happens again.

because they fear the fire dragon or that had counting the dead or reavers or etc...

Sounds like you have plenty decks to choose from.

The simple answer is they want to save time. And you should play decks that counter decks like that.

Please tell me a deck that counters shitting out hundreds of points in round two because they drew all 4 golds and all 6 silvers.

Holy shit please learn the names of the cards.

Coral if you play Skellige, Merigold's hailstorm if you don't.

Dude Coral doesn't even touch these fucks. Here's what happens:

>I very carefully ensure that I have more carryover than them
>I pass once I find an opportunity to do so with card advantage
>because they can't dry pass in round 2, they decide to play on
>they really want to secure card advantage, so they decide to play high tempo
>eventually I can't keep up and play beneath them
>I guess at this point they realize that they'e used up all of their big power plays and have nothing left for round 3
>so they just say fuck it and go all in

So my best strategy is literally to play poorly. If I just dump cards on the board round 1 and try to make sure my number is bigger than their number and never bother to plan ahead for future rounds, they will be able to dry-pass me in round 2 and I will be able to live to fight another day.

In all fairness, not remembering the name of
>V I L L E N T R E T E R M E R T H
is not a sin. I'm not that guy, but my name memory is shit in general as well, I never remember names.

It's Villentretenmerth

...

Actually what happens is.

>MUST. GET. THEIR. CERYS. OUT.
>MUST. KEEP. PLAYING. UNTIL. THEY'RE. FORCED. TO. GET. CERYS. OUT.
>NO. BRAKES. UNTIL. CERYS.
>I. READ. A. GUIDE.

>CERYS
this exactly what is happening

So really my best option is to just pull Cerys early and hope they're satisfied enough to pass. Problem is I rarely have enough resurrects to get her out in round 3 if I do that since everyone just frosts Morkvarg and locks Olgierd.

use werewolf and Olgierd
they pull her out automatically at the round 3

I don't think you read my comment that carefully.

sorry i meant to say efficiently...

And how am I supposed to use Olgierd and Morkvarg efficiently when they are locked and dead?

but actually you can push for 2-0 if you are playing that deck too

i mostly bait war longship

You clearly haven't played it. I win round 1 in probably 5% of my matches, and that's only if I have some sort of dream hand with two boats and every discard card in the game. You're not 2-0'ing anyone with 2 Freyas and 2 11-strength Pirate Captains in your hand.

??? What?

how can you lose rnd1 with SK discard...

> tfw winning round 3 against dagon by locking his trissbutt with rain

Not sure what deck you're playing. You have Bran and a 5-strength Morkvarg on the board. The have a 6-strength Pirate on the board. Your boat might get 3 pings off if it's lucky. In what world is that beating Dagon and his 6 free points every turn?

Happened to me, not sure if it was round 3 or round 2. Can't remember if I won either. But if you rained my archer row, that could have been me.

who is "IamSynrise"

at what point should i stop ladder and wait for the patch?

Master.

How much different is this from the witcher 3 version?

Very. It's much better though.

>Better
Arguable. Witcher 3's Gwent was a perfect minigame for fooling around with AI opponents. Online Gwent obviously has gained a lot more depth and turned into a PvP game, but I'm not sure if it's quite as fun as Witcher 3 PvE Gwent.

Is skellige storm better than merigolds hailstorm?

Depends. Halestorm has seen more play in this meta because of all the rowstacking.

>ST player revives my BTM with Aglais one turn before their Borkh goes off

This could be a sick play if you did it in reverse, but not this guy...

Giant Toad, Toruviel or Skellige Storm?

btm?

toad

Bekker's Twisted Mirror...

SK storm or toruviel
don't listen to the clown and said toad

Toad is really good since it draws you a card in Consume Monsters. But I kinda dislike consume, so I think I'll go with Toruviel and meme people with control ST.

i am done than,
see you after the patch...

>tfw forcing yourself to open the game and do the daily

By meme people you mean anyone under 2k mmr right? Because nobody with a brain falls for that.

Yeah, and nobody at any ranking can interact with it.

Because I play Monsters, and playing round 2 with indefinite weather and a large carryover is very easy when people expect a dry pass.

What are shackles? What is movement?

>Consume running Frightener, Ciri, and Ocvist

How the fuck are you supposed to deal with this shit?

what are u playing?

safe pass JJ

It was a rhetorical question, my 13 year old friend.

Then why are you crying?

Opinions on TES:L? The art quality seems abysmal compared to Gwent, but I'll trade it for actually fun gameplay

2-0'd once again. If you pass with card advantage and carryover, you will get 2-0'd.

get fucked

If you played frightener in r2 after losing r1 and without any means to kill it easily, you deserve to be 2-0'd.

I didn't have a choice at some point. There was another card I needed to mulligan, and of course I didn't anticipate he'd go all-in like that.

NEVER lose rnd 1

Pretty much. What I'm learning is that the best way to play Gwent is to load your deck with just raw fucking firepower. Fuck tech, fuck strategy. Just put in all the cards that put the biggest numbers on the board. Then just play them all.

as a person who plays foltest high roller i can tell you that while this works well in casual it doesn't in ranked

not all the big numbers but deck thinners,
key word is deck thinners
and also carry over

why did you put the freightner in the last row?

watch streamers playing your deck,
learn what to play when...

To threaten a lacerate that I didn't have in hopes of convincing him to pass.

alright...

What do you want from me? Is there some better place to play it?

shouldve pushed harder in r1

just asking, man

But I had more cards and more carryover. Gwent 101. Card advantage + carryover advantage = pass.

how much carryover?
2 card advantage?

Gwent 101 is winning btw

card advantage means nothing if opponent have cards that pull 3 cards from deck in an instant
or ressurect any card
or carry over 20+ points

forget card advantage,
look at the board,
see whats going on and guess what will happen next...

>how much carryover?
>2 card advantage?

Dude it shouldn't matter. If you enter round 2 with more cards, and your opponent can't dry-pass you to recover that card deficit, you should be in a great spot.

maybe against some decks sure, but reaver hunter can pull a ton of cards

as a consume player i will sometimes go down 2 cards to secure round 1
