Please report all issues like this to our tech support via the official contact form. It really helps when the tickets contain as many details as possible.
Currently there are no plans to implement something like this.
Just wanted to let you know that we're looking into the axemen issue with them getting some unintended points. Once we have a fix in place, we will implement it as soon as we can.

We are planning to roll out additional languages for GWENT in the future, however at this moment there are no details I can share. Sorry.

Premium version of Geralt card is just that. We are looking into adding some other stuff but at this point I can't really confirm or deny any additional items.

Yes. This will happen during the transition between closed and open beta. Not during the Nilfgaard release.

Good to hear! It was our goal to be fair to everyone playing the game.
Dear forum users,
Upon examining the data at our disposal, we can conclude that an unauthorized party gained access to the old forum database.
At the time of the event, the database was not in active use, as forum members had been asked to create better-secured GOG.com accounts almost a year earlier. The forum engine has also been upgraded since then to the newest and most secure version, fixing the exploit that allowed said access.
It is our understanding that the obsolete forum database contained usernames, email addresses and salted MD5 passwords (MD5 is an encryption algorithm we used to encrypt your data). This means your old passwords were secured and not directly accessible by anyone.
However, it is still a best practice to ask users to change their passwords. Since the event, we’ve conducted additional external security tests and we will double our efforts to ensure such situations don’t occur in the future.
In the following days, we will send out emails to affected users notifying them about the situation.
We would like to deeply apologize everyone affected.

GWENT Closed Beta Status Update
Making a good card game requires a huge amount of iterative work, and there’s only so much we can see from within the studio. The amount of feedback, and your massive involvement in the game balancing process have helped us refine GWENT in truly remarkable and unexpected ways. Thank you for being such an awesome community.
This is just the beginning of our journey, but one thing’s for sure: we’re in great company!
We’ve been in Closed Beta for quite a while now, and we are preparing for the next stage — Public Beta. This is why we’d like to tell you a bit more about how we plan to transition into Public Beta, and what that means for your in-game progress. We’d also like to tell you more about what you’re going to receive for your participation.
Many things have changed since we launched the Closed Beta of GWENT — we’ve introduced dozens of balance tweaks, added new mechanics, new premium versions of cards, implemented a ranking mode, and more.
Since Public Beta will mark a significant influx of new players, we want everyone to start on equal ground. That’s why we need to reset everyone’s card collection (fear not — we’ll give you back all the Kegs you purchased with real money!) and game progress (player level, Ore and Scraps).
However, we also want to reward you for the time you invested in helping us make GWENT better. And this means you’ll get to smash public some shiny new Kegs. Chances are, a lot!
Here’s what you’ll get:
- Every Card Keg you purchased — we will return you the amount of Kegs you bought with real money.
- Card Kegs for Player Levels — starting from level 5, you get 2 Kegs every 5 levels.
- Card Kegs for your rank — 2 Kegs for each rank.
- All end-season rewards.
- All items granted as gifts from CD PROJEKT RED (like the gift premium Geralt card).
All in all, after everything’s done, you should have enough Kegs to make new great decks! Once again thank you for playing GWENT and making it better. We really appreciate it.
UPDATE: By end of next week, everyone who signed up in 2016 will receive GWENT beta access. We’ll be sending more invitations as we go.

We are still looking into many things related to GWENT being present on multiple platforms. When we're ready to share the info about it, we will.

Some YouTubers/Streamers visited our studio last week to check out Nilfgaard with us. Our developers also went to meet up with guys in Brazil, Germany and Russia - that explains other language versions.
New faction in GWENT. Nilfgaard is coming!
We would like to announce the upcoming arrival of a new playable faction in GWENT: The Witcher Card Game — Nilfgaard.
Part of a major content update for the game, Nilfgaard introduces a playstyle focused on maintaining control over the battlefield. The faction equips players with a set of new gameplay mechanics such as revealing cards in the opponent’s hand, controlling the order of cards in player decks, and trickery based on the use of disloyal units.
The update expands the number of cards available in the game by over 60 — new additions also include faction-specific cards for Northern Realms, Scoia'tael, Skellige and Monsters, as well as neutral cards usable by every faction.
The content update introducing Nilfgaard is scheduled for release on February 6th, 2017.
GWENT is currently available in Closed Beta. Players wishing to participate in the beta can register on the official website.
