Until Monday, July 16th, 12 PM (noon) CEST, all three cards in the “Choose 1 out of 3” part of the keg opening will be upgraded to their Premium versions. This means a guaranteed animated card in every keg you open during the event!

Hi Burza,
Is there any plans to integrate GwentUp (or similar tools) in the default game itself? The main reason I use it to see the mmr of the opponent and the win-draw-lose against that particular opponent I am facing. Even other info like the Graveyar, Banished, and what is in the deck are very useful and I think almost all the top players use it. So, why not make those info available by default in the game itself?
Thanks.

We would have to design such a tool on our own, but with the current scope that is not possible. Full focus is on delivering project Homecoming.

I believe I have heard this happen to a few other people? Does cdpr do anything about these players? What is extra ridiculous is this person cussed me out when they lost for a their own misplay that put them down a card.

And here I thought it was nice someone wanted to friend me...

Always report these players to tech support, they will receive a ban if they wrote anything bad to you

In a swap deck it's quite easy to get Ele'yas back, just swap him as much as possible with Elven Scouts and Vrihedd Officers, you can tutor for him later with Francesca or just play Alzur's Double–Cross

 

[Burza46]

Schirrú forces you to chose Epidemic or Scorch, but you can wait for the timer to cancel the effect. If you have a Scorch in hand or any other card you can simply drag and drop it in the graveyard

Hi Burza,
Love Gwent since CB.
Question:
Is it worth adding voice lines for special cards that calls out the card name?
For both increasing the visual and audio experience to further help understand what special card was played--especially rarely played ones.
Using a card like renew, royal decree, etc. can be underwhelming and boring with curent simple vfx.
thanks!

We'll be adding more VFX to them which should make the cards stand out

Hi CDPR,

Quick question regarding level progression.

Do you guys have any plans at Homecoming or at a later stage of adding a prestige system to the current level system?

Leveling past 100 could yield a reset to level 1 but with a allocated star or something similar to depict having reached 100 once or twice and so on.

Tnx for your time!

Yes we're planning something very similar, more info coming soon

 

[Burza46]

Hi Burza ! I think it would be very cool to have a salutation emote on the avatars, to start the game with a touch of respect. Any project concerning avatar emotes ?

They will change with Homecoming, but we'll see to what degree

 

[Dominika]

Many heroes have awaited their chance at glory. Now their time has come! In this Special Arena mode you will be able to build your deck with Silver cards ONLY.

The Silver Trail ruleset starts today and will last till Tuesday, July 17th, 12.00 PM (noon) CEST.

Good luck and have fun!

 

[Burza46]

People are getting paranoid about the timetable again. In your statement they see uncertainty that October is not when Homecoming will be released. Are there any hints of a delay?

If there will be a delay, we'll notify you in advance

 

[Burza46]

Hi Burza! Since there are no new cards with Homecoming, I wanted to ask what are your artists doing right now?

Working on the new board, leaders, cards boarders, menus, tutorials, UI -- you name it

 

[Burza46]

Hellow, I'm a new player here (played all witcher games before, got all collection edition physical boxes so i'm a big fan of you), want to try a new project in witcher universe. Finished tutorials, got my 12 barrels from it and 2 from daily round wins, well 14 total. Opened all of it and got 0 golden cards, 0 silver, 0 premium (animated), but ALOT of bronze duplicates of cards from starter decks so milled almost 30-40% of the cards for nothing (because thouse cards are really cheap).
Is it regular situatior, or this is me, "lucky" as always?
Also started raiting games yesterday and got high lvl opponents with T1 decks (just like in guides I saw on streams) who playing like top streamers card by card on 5-6 rank. Am I "lucky" again?

Try doing the Challenges first, get the starter pack, it will be difficult in the beginning, but just keep going and get your daily rewards

Hi!

Will we see character reactions (for example Sile reacting to Radovid when he is played) released in Homecoming? it was shown at PAX panel in 2016 and voicelines for this are already in the game files.

youtu. be/cf6EAqvm3wc?t=1538

If not, is this aspect completely scrapped or maybe it will be looked at in the future?

Maybe in the future, right now we don't want to add more features, because there is a lot to do with Homecoming as is

 

[Dominika]

Introducing one of the first new features for our official forums — the RED Tracker!

Our official forums are like our home and we’d like you to feel great here. Your feedback about what we do is crucial, and one thing stood out clearly — the need for an easy and accessible way to keep track of what CD PROJEKT RED posts on forums. RED Tracker allows you to see every RED post from a particular franchise in chronological order. No more browsing through multiple topics and pages to get where you need. Finding leeks has never been easier!

Have you already tried it out, and if so how do you feel about it? What other features would you like to see on our forums? Let us know in the comment section below!

What do you think about the versatility of Leaders? How much should a leader tell the opponent what he should expect from the deck?
As an example Crach an Craite offers with Veterans and Greatswords two archetypes, which work completly differently and each require the enemy to adept their playstyle in a different way and having different counters in the hand.
I'm not talking about niche decks, which intentionally go against the Meta to surprise their opponent.

How much of a core gameplay should each leader have and do you prefer leaders who have more than one distinguishable archetype, or should each distinguishable archetpye have its own leader?

Right now, we are designing the leaders in such a way, which will make them more versatile. Deck building will also receive a major overhaul

 

[Burza46]

How come we never got another 50% off transmute weekend?

Is it because Homecoming will have full mill value on all cards?

For now we simply don't plan it especially that there is not a lot going on in the game

 

[Burza46]

Hi! It's almost been 3 months since Homecoming has been announced and time has passed by quite quickly. Got some questions for you to answer because that is what this thread is for!

1. Will the mid-July news come before the upcoming Open... or during it?
2. How much of the UI is being remade/reorganized? Will anything remain the same or similar or will it be completely different?
3. Is the mulligan screen going to be changed.... again?
4. Is there going to be a set of achievements completing which you will unlock leader avatars maybe since for a while now they've been listed as "Special Reward"?
5. Is the leader initiative thing still planned or has that been scrapped to be replaced with something else?
6. Do you know by now which archetypes might be scrapped or replaced?
7. You talked about leaders being shuffled around, but will the card pool remain the same size or become slightly smaller/bigger with the changing of abilities?
8. In terms of post-Homecoming, will we get more frequent balance patches and content patches, the same as before or less often?
9. Before Homecoming, did the new faction already have planned features/tactics?
10. When are we getting more Witcher 1 characters?

I know it's a lot of questions but you have to eat your greens and my preferred type of green is a leek.

1. I'm aiming for July GWENT Open
2. Completely different
3. Yes
4. There will be achievements, but done in a different way
5. Can't answer yet
6. Too soon to say, design is not locked yet
7. There will be some card coming in and out of factions, but we want the same card pool in each faction
8. No idea at the moment, for now full focus is on delivering Homecoming
9. Yes
10. Maybe sooner then you think

Hello everyone. Hello gwent team! I loved this game and i want to love it again, i really liked The unique concept that this game had. The amount of Time, patience you spend for this game to be a good One shows that you dear devs love this game even more. Now for The question : do you plan to rework all The cores of a battle like battlefield, rows to have a meaning again, you got it, or only The cards? I know it is a poor question but if you rework all of those things, i think gwent Will be Alive again.

We're currently reworking everything you mentioned

 

[Burza46]

You mentioned that leaders will have more abilities, does that mean they will have more than 1 card art just like leaders had in Witcher 3 GWENT(for each ability a unique card art)?

Will we hear some news about Thronebreaker at Gamescom(that is if GWENT team plans to attend that event)?

Leaders will have more uses, but not more abilities, at least for now

As for Gamescom, we'll see

 

[Burza46]

May i ask how many people work on the "homecoming team"?

And what's the biggest difficulty you've faced until now as a team for this project?

Over 150. Re-designing the core of the game
