If anyone hasn't already, Legends of Runeterra is a pretty fun game to play while Gwent is in its current bugged state. I downloaded it yesterday to see what the hype was about and there are definitely some great things in that game that Gwent should have.
I'm still not the biggest fan of Mana pools and the way the game is set up. I prefer Gwents 10 card hand and no mana.
However, something as little as having a little icon in the top right of the home screen that tells you the issues the devs are aware of and hotfixes it's planning to implement, goes a long way.
I could imagine if Gwent had something like this right now, so that we would actually know they are aware of the bugs that have been introduced in this patch and not left scraping through forums to see if a Dev posted something of relevance.
I'm hoping they do not take too long to fix these issues, it seems like they have their priorities out of order, and major issues are constantly on the back burner. If it takes another season to fix these issues, I'm afraid to see what will happen to Gwents player base.
It also seems like the pressure is building up, with all these issues and community backlash. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Homecoming 2.0 in the future, where they will try and address all the many issues they have not been "able" to address since the first HC.
