Group Stage draw show is here!

 

[Alicja.]

Of course! Burza mentioned it on the forums

Main focus are tweaks to card power and provision costs.

Other changes worth mentioning:

• Eithné - only 4 charges to her leader ability for the whole game
• Morvran Voorhis - ability tweak
• Hemdal added to the game
• Thunderbolt - Targets only allies and has two charges which boost by 3
• Wolfsbane - targets all units, not only enemies
• Xavier Lemmens - cost up to 12 provisions and can only banish up to 3 cards
• Also, well be introducing a quality of life improvement where you can right click on you deck and see which cards are left (in random order of course)
• We're also thinking about adding armor to artifacts, so units can remove them, but won't be able to implement this by December.

Hello, any remote chance of bringing back third row? Its okay you can message me in private, I wont tell anyone!

No plans.

 

[Burza46]

Dear Burza,

Can you please tell us what are the main focus areas of the December Patch?
Are any leaders getting their ability changed?
Are there any leaders who are getting their mulligan fixed (Please say Yes to this)?
Is there anything done (or going to be done in next 2 weeks) to make the game any faster (even few seconds)?
Approximately how many cards will have their stat/ability changed?
Approximately when we will get the details of the patch notes?

Thanks in advance and good luck to the team!

How do I qualify for pro ranking?
I have to achive rank 1 or it depends of MMR?

After unlocking the entire Rank 1 mosaic, if you win one more match you will join Pro Rank.

Is the "end of season reward" based on reached rank or unlocked rank?

It's based of your current rank. You don't have to complete the entire mosaic.

 

[Alicja.]

And the most needed hotfixes?

The patch is planned for December.

 

[Alicja.]

Will GWENT be available on Steam soon?

We don't have such plans at the moment.

Hey CDPR, I have finished already the adventure. Have to say that it was really nice the deep history and have to choose different decisions was really fun.. But all the battles (excepting the puzzles) were really easy, I think you didn't balance correctly the enemy units, I have played with the last difficulty and it was not challenging at all... I hope the next adventure you could make this part better.

Thank you! In December patch the difficulty of Thronebreaker will be adjusted so it's more of a challenge.

Hello, the regional pricing on Steam for Indian Rupee was changed from Rs. 699 to Rs. 2149 without any notice.

Thronebreaker regional pricing has been adjusted on Steam to the equivalent of $29.99. Its was never our intention for the game to cost less. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Question: Is the tournament played in this state or there will be a patch before the event.?

We're not planning any patches before the tournament.

-I'm 90% sure it follows official Gwent Master rules and 300$ is the match stake for each individual match.

Yes, 300$ is a prizepool for each bo3 match

Competitive events are a source of intense GWENT action. Today, we’re taking it a step further. Introducing GWENT Skirmish — a unique project aimed at content creators, which mixes tournament-setting rivalry with exciting live content!

Here’s how it works: the lineup of every GWENT Skirmish tournament stage is made out of established GWENT content creators. Every single one of them will be livestreaming their point of view. This means you can watch your favorite streamer making, explaining and reacting to big plays in real time, all whilst participating in the tournament. And worry not: snipers and Nilfgaardian spotters shall not pass — we will set up delays on streams to prevent spying.

For the first wave, the list of invited participants is as follows:

crokeyz (Great Britain)

Ashlizzlle (Netherlands)

MissLadyJay (South African Republic)

McBeard (Canada)

NOD (Belarus)

Brzoza (Poland)

SirPumpkn (USA)

MasCa (Korea)

The format is simple: 8 streamers will be randomly assigned to 2 groups of 4. Every player will compete against all of their opponents from the same group in a best-of-three format, all battling for their share of a 300 USD prize pool in each match. More importantly, the winner will advance to the next round. All group winners will then meet in the future, during the next stage of the GWENT Skirmish competition — more information to come!

The group seeding will be decided by the one and only Paweł Burza and will be uploaded to our YouTube channel on Tuesday, November 20th. At the same time, we will be also revealing the schedule of the upcoming matches.

As this is our first experiment with this format, we will be looking at your feedback and reception of this “pilot episode” in order to shape the future of the series. If you have any questions, suggestions or requests to invite your favorite streamers to GWENT Skirmish, please let us know in the comments!

Cyberpunk 2077 has been named Most Wanted Game at the 36th annual Golden Joysticks Awards! From all of us at CD PROJEKT RED — thank you!

 

[Alicja.]

Right?

But careful, we don't want to spoil the game for others

 

[Alicja.]

Shupe found some shiny Premium Kegs for you! You can buy them in the shop until Tuesday, November 20th, noon CET. All cards in a Premium Keg are animated.

This offer is only available on PC.

 

[Burza46]

After playing around 100 hours this new stuff I'm quite satisfied with the game, but I have some suggestions collected:

• After the coin toss sometimes the winning leader's war cry is distorted. Please fix.
• Cards should be sorted on player's hand.
• A 'GwentUp' function would be very helpful.
• The duration of effects like weather or the ticking of traps should be shown.
• The animations of cards going to the graveyard after ending a round are much too slow. Should be accelerated.
• There should be a possibility to discard a card.

Fair comments of some cards (maybe subjective):

• The ability of a cow cadaver thrown by rot tosser should not be blocked by an artifact.
• An immune Ge'els feels just OP.
• Xavier Lemmens feels same since he can destroy a whole (graveyard) strategy.
• More than one Phoenix in Arena feels just OP (maybe exclude him from Arena).
• Witcher trio is just boring since everybody playing it.
• Same feels the uniform openings with Lambert, Division Magne etc.

Thanks for passing on your feedback!

Will it be possible to view the composition of the opponent’s starting deck during /before the match?

The resource system allows you to play several completely different finishers within the same archetype. For example, in one deck it can be Regis, in the other lies Igni, in the third Kambi, or Sigil. From each card you have to play in their own way. If earlier we simply played it off automatically from scorch and igni, then now it is impossible to win back from everything.

We don't plan to add such a feature.

 

[Burza46]

Avatars like brann and a few of the ones that were exclusive for the high rankers, are they going to be available to us in this homecoming patch? :c

They will come back in the future.

 

[Burza46]

Yennefer's Invocation - is it intended that the card that gets placed back at the top of the owners deck and which might be drawn again, that this card is visible for the other player?

View attachment 10983331

It's sth we'll be fixing in the future.

 

[Burza46]

Hi! Just want to ask: are keg events, like Premium Keg Week, still a thing in Homecoming? Waiting for a nice event to buy some kegs.

They are and will make a comeback.

 

[Burza46]

Hi,
after HC launched burza said something about Redania/new content coming to gwent very soon. I'm not gonna lie - current card pool is limited and feels kinda bad. Can we get at least some timeframe when we can expect some content drop? this month? Before xmas? 2019?

Cheers

I hope to share a roadmap soon with you

 

[Burza46]

Hi,

I would like to know something about roadmap for gwent or similar thing like letter announcing project homecoming. Do you plan to share with it for 2019 or what can we expect next ingame? I mean in longterm development, not exact date. I know, there was mentioned you don't want to share too much with things that aren't ready or didn't started yet, but this form of communication would be nice.

I'm working on this, hope to have sth to show in December
