Please make Gwent Cards purchasable from merchants.

[r0nx]

@Ravici I simply don't see why people should be forced to replay the game to get those cards. CD Projekt Red fixed the inn keeper, so that players could get those cards without having to play their game all over again. Why make them do it for the party tournament? Don't quite see the connection. It just seems like unnecessary frustration, to be honest.

Because that's gaming. U can't get everything on a silver platter, or can u?

There are many missable trophies in this game and other games. We gamers don't need no easying to these games what so ever..

W3 missable trophies:

Spoiler

Even Odds, Card Collector, Gwent Master, Fast and Furious, Assassin of Kings, Full Crew, Woodland Spirit etc.

Should these be patched too? Because u made same bad choices..? No patches to any of these trophies!

We only need a notification that Collect `Em All failed,nothing more and nothing less!

I have played second playthrough on Death March to collect gwent trophies and to get platinum, didn't take that long. Maybe estimated 30-35h playthrough..

@Ravici There's a difference between earning a card and purchasing a card. Purchasing a card requires little effort since it is already incredibly easy to rake in a ton of money from quests, witcher contracts, and random loot throughout the game that you can sell for a high price. What's the difference between beating the NPCs at the masquerade ball and beating the same NPCs later on? They have the same decks, the same AI, etc. The only difference is not forcing people to reload hours upon hours of content just to get it. You may view it as an added challenge, but it's not. It's a pesky situation that forces players to start all over from scratch, recollect all of their prior gwent cards, beat all of the previous inn keepers again, and rewin the tournament again just to get three cards at that masquerade ball.

Again, CDProjekt Red doesn't seem to hold your view point since they allowed the merchant in White Orchard to carry the missable cards from the inn keeper there. If they were using your reasoning, they wouldn't have done that and would have forced people to start over again. There's no doubt that they'll patch it again to allow those NPCs at the ball to be playable again. It doesn't rob anyone of anything. A player that beat them before or after and got the achievement still beat the same AI, so I don't see how it's any different. They both equally earned the cards.

@r0nx 30 to 35 hours of playing is an incredibly long time, just so you know. Certain missions shouldn't be patched because they influence the main game.

Spoiler

Assassin of Kings

is a good example of that. You can't exactly change an entire world after the last point. Gwent is an entirely different matter since it shouldn't be tied to quests, in my opinion.

Spoiler

The Baron's card and Lugos's card are still available to obtain even after they're dead

so I don't think that it was CDProjekt Red's intention to make the gwent cards unobtainable after a certain point. The fact that they patched the inn keeper in White Orchard further supports my hypothesis.

 

[r0nx]

Yes i know over 30 hours is a long time to play this game through on death march, but it's a must if u miss some trophies.

Gwent took me a lot of time on my second playthrough, because there where so many matches to play! But that's gaming for platinum, don't mind a bit!

 

[subcu1ture]

I didn't want to play Gwent straight away, there were a lot more things I wanted to do but after I was done I learned that I can't obtain one card because it was available only during certain mission. I should be able to get after main story. It's not that big of a deal because I'm playing the game again but still, I'm not a big fan of limited time offers, especially with collectables.

It's actually an incredibly linear gameplay restriction.

Same with the races... You can't start a Novingrad, then go to Skelige then finish Velen because Velen races dissapears.

These are things that have nothing to do with the world state or storyline and should never be restricted to this play style.

Right I have a lost a card, at least I think I have, but that was due to a glitch. During "Get Junior" in the casino part of the quest. The cut scene triggered after the second gwent match, giving no opportunity for me to play the third opponent. I reloaded and tried over and over, even losing on purpose, but to no avail.
So if there was a card to be gained, I have lost that card through no fault of my own. This is something that needs to be patched.
Now if you go to a Ball and miss the gwent tournament tough luck, that's completely on you.
That's on you for not searching your surroundings, for missing the table standing on a rise no less, with two NPCs sitting playing gwent surrounded by a crowd of earer onlookers.
Really it's not like these missable gwent players are even that missable. CDPR has not gone out of their way to hide them.
It's far harder to find all the merchants to play against, especially if you were like me and only started really enjoying gwent 20 + hours into the game.
Making it possible to buy missable cards from merchants, would be extremely poor design. Even if the cards were extremely expensive it would make little to no difference as money is so very easy to come by.
The only thing that needs to change is that if you do miss a card, then the "collect em all" quest needs to be updated and thrown in the failed section.

As far as i know there are no missable Cards at this Quest

 

[Liquidacid]

If they make it so you can just purchase all the cards the trophy and mission would need to be changed from "collect all Gwent cards" to "collect X amount of money" or "Buy X item from X vendor" because that's all it would really be

Coolness, I was just worried because after the quest, one of the quest tags "play the against the patrons" I think was called was red and crossed out.

Yes, The progress tracker needs to actually track progress.

Had I known that when I first arrived in Aribjourn because I had a contract that I had finished that handing it in which would result in me going to jail would then make it impossible to interact with the innkeeper later in the game then I never would have explored the world in the first place if I was expected to go the linear path.

So I was punished for exploring the world by boat and doing a quest along the way and it has nothing to do with not "exploring" because I explore the world and talk to everyone that is ever interactable.

There was no warning that I had failed the "Collect them all" Quest which is misleading if you have a Quest Tracker for it in the first place which doesn't track the quest.

Also, to all the people who are in here and preaching about the standards of gaming when you have used exploits, GTFO, you have no skill and you do not deserve to even have an opinion when you cheated your way through the game.

 

[Setari]

I just want the dice game back. Gwent makes me so mad and there's no way I'm going to be able to collect all the frieakin' cards to beat people... I'd rather roll some dice and win money that way. I've been going around to innkeepers and buying cards but without an in-depth guide to wherever the hell each card is, there's no point for me in even trying. The world is far too expansive and at this point I'm 30+ hours into the game (unfortunately buying through GOG and running through Steam doesn't show time played :[ ). Maybe in another runthrough after my first one I will pursue Gwent, but for now I don't think I'll be able to as much as I'd like.

Let's clear one thing up. This tracker you are on about. You are confusing game quests with achievements. No game has a tracker built in to track any achievements. They are completely seperate.

It can take a while. Just remember to speak with every innkeep and play everyone who offers a game. It's all you can do. At least, it's all I do.
Steam does have a way of tracking total game time I am led to believe from earlier conversations on the topic. Also from the screen where you arrange your mutigens (if I remember right), there is an option to look at your current game stats which has the time of that actual run in the bottom left corner.

Obviously you don't play the game because there is a quest called "Collect them All" It is in the QUEST menu. Even though it has nothing to do with the achievement, it is still tied to the achievement and is a Quest Tracker like every other QUEST in the game. If it was a trophy tracker then every other trophy would have a Quest tracker.

And FYI the achievement is called "Card Collector" not "Collect them All"

I stand corrected.

No, moral of the story is don't put quest trackers in games if they don't track quests.... Or take out all the other quest trackers from the game so you fumble around blindly for hours without knowing if you are progressing.

 

[KingfiShiZ]

just got it (im at 200h now)

I'll recommand just printing my list and check if you have a card

 

[jon7882]

Well you can only get some by beating certain players and this is kinda silly. You don't like a component of the game fine. Don't expect a freebie trophy for it.

 

[deboramoreno]

I don't care if I need to play against someone to get the card or just buy it... I just don't want missable cards. I don't wanna to start a new game JUST because of the gwent cards.

 

[CannedPlayer]

I know CD Projekt Red wants us to try their Gwent but putting a couple of mandatory trophies about Gwent is nonsense.

I want to platinum this game but I missed couple of missable gwent card players throughout the story and I am not into playing Gwent at all.I know most of the people love playing Gwent,but for those who do not like at all,it is disrespectful.

I have been waiting for this game for a long long time and now I learn I can't platinum it.Please make all these cards available to purchase from certain merchants so we don't have to worry about playing Gwent.

Thanks.

DISRESPECTFUL is a guy that wants platinum, and asks the company to rollover all the other players who spent their time investing on Gwent.

What happened with people today? You are the one disrespecting the company´s rules for the game.

Stop acting like a spoiled brat, and go play gwent, there are lots of tutorials over the net, or you can keep not giving a shiet to gwent, just as I did.


Thanks.

Would be cool if the game existed in real life...
Oh the childhood memories of playing card games....
