Beta somewhat disacouraging so far

I played the beta for about a week now and I think I'm good for until the game launches.
As someone who is not willing to buy card packs in a games Beta, it is not worth playing any longer.
The way you earn new cards without buying in is very slow and without Gold Cards you will get crushed almost every time.
I am sure this problem will disappear as soon as there is some kind of ranking system, or other modes that allow you to earn cards/ore.
The base game is fun tho, all the factions seem pretty well balanced and I'm sure the game will be the next big card game.
This Beta however is pointless if you dont want to throw in some cash right away.

I recommend that you check out this video on the progression system. You do not by any means need to pay money, to get good cards in this game.

Dunno man, I played for a week or so and you can get 2-3 kegs a day with their daily reward system. With those 2-3 kegs you can mill the basic cards and other rarity you don't want and craft the card you want. In a week you should be able to get a good deck imo.

The only hard moment is when you are a beginner and have to face those high level decks but they sent beta keys hee and there so new player are in the same situation and eventually they will face each other.

I completely agree with you. Its a waste of time even trying to build up a deck this late in the beta. Its a shame CDPR gave me a code recently, it really ruined the excitement I have for this game seeing it in this state. It would be good to play I guess when a reset occurs but for now, ill give it a miss.

The game would be alright to play now if I was matched up with new players like myself but so far I haven't seen a starter deck being used . Hell even the AI has a way better deck then mine. I know and trust that this game will get better for players both starting and at the experienced end.

You get 3kegs a day thats 15cards WAY more than any other CCG

I get 3 - 4 kegs a day in this which is extremely generoua and I have 2 pretty decent decka in monsters and skellige. Even tho i dont have any legends (i opened 2 i cant really use). Ive been having alot of auccess and fun.

I partly agree with you. If there wouldnt be any reset of the progress this would be very nice progression system for f2p players especially if you consider other cardgames that give you way less options to get new cards as a f2p player (*cough Hearthstone for example cough*). But since its a Closed Beta and since there is gonna be a reset very likely I dont see why they do a progression that could be implemented like this in the final game while we are supposed to give feedback about balancing and the cards but since we have to grind them we cant actually do that that easily lol.
Kinda contradictory
