Sure. If there isn't still a balanced patch, I'll take a break from Gwent RNG festival; the create mechanics put Gwent back to the ancient history of Closed beta.
Hey, create is not luck, it's skill. You put this awkwardly flexible card in your deck, then you say a little prayer, and when you get what you prayed for, you have just outskilled your opponent. It makes the game so much more skill based. Just like reveal for example. Who would've thought that partially RNG based mechanic that
actually lets you see the hand of your opponent was a bad idea?
But yeah, updates come maybe every 3 - 6 months with smaller ones once between them if we're lucky. We still have all sorts of problems with just trying to get into a match. We have bugs and problems with mechanics.
Bronze cards with stats of overpowered silvers get released. Gold cards with questionable designs get released. While someone has to come up with all these cards, someone else should probably take the responsibility of what actually gets released, even in beta, since the updates are rare. We are just stuck with these problem cards, combos and mechanics. A card that in practice is a free 25, now a free 22, is probably not very fun to play against. Or a card that in general literally wins the round if not dealt with right there, even if it's the first card played, is probably not very good design. If you need to play at least two cards in every deck just to counter one possible gold card, there might be a slight problem somewhere.
And that Thronebreaker Campaign announced 8 months ago...?
I think about taking a break again about every time I play.
