Hi CDPR:
TLDR: Make the seasonal rewards achievable independent of the game mode.
Now the full story:
I want to unlock the full dragon border and for that I HAVE to play seasonal mode, there is no way around it. I don't enjoy playing point slam decks.
I also suffer from uncontrollable rage attacks since I can remember. There is a build up phase before it happens and in the past 15 years I have worked hard on myself to recognise the signs building up to it and to change my behaviour in time to avoid the outburst.
Sadly if I am really concentrated on something I am still to absorbed to notice the signs and thus I just had the worst outbreak in the last 10 years while playing gwent. I screamed, I cursed, I hit the wall jumping around the room, nearly breaking my mouse and keyboard. And after that I just sat there and cried for about 10 minutes, because this feels so bad and all the years of work have just been for nothing (at least that's the first impression).
I don't mind playing gimmicky modes for fun and I think a lot of people are enjoying themselves - but IMO this should always be optional.
If you want to force people to try the new mode, a quest like "play 5 games of seasonal mode" would be more then sufficient - but we have to play it again and again and again. The quest I'm stuck at atm requires me to win 40 rounds. 40! That's around 30 matches if I have a 50% win ratio. 30 matches full of boredom, pressure, frustration, rage and anxiety.
That is unacceptable and needs to be addressed! Playing video games is one of my favourites off-time activities and gwent is one of the games I spend the most time (and money) on. And after thinking about it for some time now, I don't want to be forced to stop doing either - that's why I felt the need to express myself here.
Best regards, Shagric
*edit: just did a rough calcutation: you would need to play the seasonal mode for 8-9h (5-6min for 90 matches each) to get both border and portrait.
