Putting money on NG and NR. Though, haven't seen that many SK, nor have I had too many problems with the ones I have seen.

Ya these decks are becoming REALLY common as they're incredibly effective against SK. Which is actually why people need to calm down and wait things out, eventually the meta reacts and things evolve. Honestly I'm pretty sure where I am I'm seeing a pretty good balance of SK, Monsters (Weather mostly), Scoi'Spell decks, and NR. The odd NG who are doing interesting things also comes along every now and then.
CDPR should just fire their whole balance team (Do they even got one? Can't tell...) and just hire the top 5 Gwent streamers from twitch. I swear swim, nox and the others would create a better balanced game within a week than CDPR managed in the entirety of CB and probably will in OP
Sadly, I think this thread pretty much sums up the state of the game. I've been here since day 1 of closed beta, and it's been like this since the very beginning. X mechanic/faction/card is interesting, people complain about X, X gets nerfed, people complain about Y, and so on until the end of time.Rawls;n8983030 said:
Eventually (hopefully), they'll decide it's stable enough and they can start adding answers with new content instead of nerfs.
Honestly I hope they don't go overboard with the nerfs this time. SK is OP but because of how all their tools work together. Just nerf one of it should see some more balance, not like how they nerf every good tools in NG.

After the last patch it does seem like pulling gold cards has become a lot less frequent. CD..... did you guys pull a fast one here?
I don't think the meta could change again without card adjustments, simply put NR has very few counters outside NG and some ST, which seem to be weak other than that they do have answers. SK and monster are simply slower at putting down points on the table than NR is and that being NR is more resistant to weather. If for whatever reason NG or ST becomes more prominent but I don't think they will because they are weak in nature against the deck choices that aren't being played then you'll just see the cycle repeat itself in that monster and skellige have their chance in the sun then NR comes back in and then once again same situation. I think if SK received on average a 5-8 point across the three rounds nerf and NR sees a nerf in the 8-10 point range, then the game would be on a pretty balanced level. In a game where there are only 6 factions (including neutral), and only about 100 cards in each, while some cards are not super viable right now, it's pretty easy to determine the future of the meta. I think this should be your last nerf and then roll the new cards out because the current card pool is becoming stale. When you bring out the next batch of cards and they make more of the nonviable cards usable then well you're going to have a very fun time balancing that.

Hopefully all 5 as that would indicate that some semblance of decent balance had been attained.
I stopped getting good kegs once I hit lvl 30. I also got a foltest for it. It wouldn't surprise me if they play with card drop rates, CDPR will of course fervently deny it however.

This is not exactly how statistics work, but never mind. If they drop the legendary rates, they also increased the rewards for scraping common and rare cards, which makes a more homogeneous scrap rewards for all players. Just RNG sometimes seems "unfair":cirisad:Redcoat2012;n9048440 said:
