[BUG?] Random Gwent Rewards Missing After Patch 1.10
I am trying for the Card Collector achievement and after a while, I stopped getting Gwent cards from playing merchants. I figured perhaps the pool of random merchant cards had depleted, though it did not seem like there were that many merchants that played Gwent and I had just made it to Skellige. Instead, I won my money plus a stack of a random crafting material/loot item. This made it feel more rewarding and interesting than just getting the small amount of money we can bet.
After this happened a few times, I played another merchant and got another card! I was very happy as I thought I may be back to getting cards and maybe it was a glitch that stopped the cards before. I got a couple more cards then it stopped again, and this time the cards have not come back. However, neither have the random materials/loot rewards. This was about the time I downloaded the patch 1.10 and the Hearts of Stone expansion, back to back. Needless to say I felt very let down.
I have no idea how many cards I have yet to collect for the achievement. I have put a lot of time and energy into building the collection and sharpening my skills and to have the rewards so diminished without warning or reason is not fun. Gwent is a great addition to the Witcher series and I love it. I wish I could have gotten physical decks; it would work well as a stand-alone game. However, I would really appreciate having the rewards turned back on in the main game, whether that means more cards or the random loot I was getting before. The money amount is not enough to be a big motivator, especially later in the game when we have money and have much more invested in our Gwent game.
I am playing the game on Xbox One from disk with downloaded expansion content and patch 1.10. Thanks for a great game overall and thanks for your help!
