Q: Gascon Leader skin returning to Shupe's shop?
A: It will be available again at some point.
Q: More Displate designs?
A: Still on the radar, but no details yet.
Q: Possible to make a video that documents the process of designing new cards?
A: They've wanted to do it, but it would be a difficult process even once working from home ends.
Q: Remaining old Leader cards returning in a future expansion or as a mini card drop?
A: Uncertain, for now at least.
Q: When will draft mode get more updates? [In addition to the ones in update 8.5; question was old.]
A: Still coming, it's just taking a little bit more time. Prizes or some other incentive to play the mode coming for sure, card packs will also get attention; draft will be evolving. Won't end up like Arena.
Q: Excluding Scenarios from the "Patience is a Virtue!" seasonal mode?
A: No promises, but passing on to the team.
Q: Tavern Board returning to Shupe's shop?
A: Maybe.
Q: Which part of card design usually comes first? Mechanic? Design? Theme? Character?
A: Normally, theme and story -> brief -> art -> mechanic. Building around at least arts also happens.
Q: Adding a conversion system or trades between players (e.g. 2000 scraps = 1 Reward point)?
A: No.
Q: Alternate artworks for existing cards (e.g. Meve)?
A: Alternate arts might come as cards, but no promises.
Q: Supporting thematic decks, i.e. a new keyword similar to Devotion but for specific archetypes like Wild Hunt, Svalblod Cultists, Dryads, Elves?
A: Not planned. Interesting idea.
Q: Interactions between cards, e.g. playing a Geralt card on a board with Roach would have Geralt say a unique line to/about Roach?
A: Currently there are higher priorities than things like interactions between cards, but would be cool to have in the future.
Q: Why is Skellige Storm not a Skellige card?
A: Good question.
Q: Will Allgod become a Leader skin or an avatar? When will he be buffed?
A: Making him into a Leader is an interesting idea [said without enthusiasm]. Buff time unknown.
Q: Do the team take into consideration suggestions made by the community, not necessarily about cards but quality of life?
A: Yes. A lot of changes have been made based on community suggestions, and all are taken into consideration.
Q: Additional ways to spend ore?
A: Nothing at least for now.
Q: What was causing the forced draw bug on the first day of update 8.5?
A: Some cards were causing the issue. Everything is always tested before updates go live, but sometimes things slip through cracks and with a live server things are always different than in internal testing.
Q: On Android, many players would benefit from the ability to move the game's data files to an SD card. Would this be difficult to do on the developers' side?
A: It's quite difficult to do. Thinking of implementing it, but would not be an easy task.
Q: Making faction Leaders as adjustable as Journey characters, or maybe even have them
as Journey characters?
A: Cool idea, passing on to the team.
Q: Expansion soundtracks coming to Spotify?
A: No. Each expansion only has one theme track, and you can find them on P.T. Adamczyk's YouTube channel. [
Link to his GWENT playlist.]
Q: Explainer video about how to get cards from mini expansions, when is it coming?
A: Probably this month, when the reveal campaign starts and a website is set up.
Q: When will Scoia'tael be buffed?
A: What's wrong with Scoia'tael? It could maybe be buffed a little bit.
Q: Leader skins planned for character who had taunt voicelines in beta (Dandelion, Iorveth, etc.)?
A: Not right now.
Q: Why does Triss have so many backpacks in her Journey?
A: Because she's moving away from Geralt. It's only team Yen, and Triss is always packing and moving out.

Q: Improvements to trinket management and organization (search box, groupings, etc.)?
A: Something needs to be done for sure, but no clear plans yet.
Q: Improvements to deck management in the deck builder (e.g. sorting by faction or Leader ability)?
A: Not at least right now, but a good idea.
Q: Why wasn't Dana's Love Goddess skin available on Steam when it could be purchased on GOG, Android, and iOS?
A: Unknown. She will, however, return again in the future (Valentine's Day).
Q: Default Leader skins for constructed decks, like draft mode already has (e.g. Francesca instead of Filavandrel for Scoia'tael decks)?
A: An interesting idea, passing on for sure.
Q: Music as an additional type of cosmetic?
A: Actually already on the radar, but a very early idea.
Q: Changing Triss's 3D model's posture so it doesn't look like her back is broken?
A: Probably not. Also disagree that she looks broken.
Q: Another art book in the future?
A: Possibly, but no promises.
Q: Animation changes to basic Leader skins, like Journey characters have?
A: Preference is to add new stuff rather than go back to change what already exists. But the animation team is known to go in and out things, change stuff around. All in all, not off the table but also not super high priority.
Q: Usurper getting hair, at least in his Officer art where he's younger?
A: An interesting idea. Would be nice to have him with hair.
Q: More and/or updated controller support?
A: Controller support is being worked on. Not super high priority, but will happen for sure.
Q: Is there a chance for a real event in the game (e.g. faction challenge or similar)?
A: Faction challenges would be cool to have again, but they would need to have a different format to make them more interesting than they were.
Q: Plans for quality of life changes in the near future (queuing actions, a more detailed match history, seeing Banished cards in the graveyard)?
A: The biggest quality of life change currently worked on is [he told viewers to not tell anyone, so I won't ;P], and after that priority probably showing more stuff on the board (e.g. cool effects and general eye-candy). Detailed match history keeps getting suggested, so will probably pass it on.
Q: Dragon buffs, or more love to Dragons?
A: No idea. Currently the most important thing is the upcoming expansion and the cards coming with it.
Q: When will Slama play the game again?
A: He already plays it all the time.
Q: When is the expansion reveal campaign starting?
A: Soon.
Q: Updates about Thronebreaker for Android?
A: News coming very, very soon.
Q: Will Triss ever get an NR card?
A: She might, she might not. No idea.

Q: Will there be Twitch Drops for watching Masters like there was for the latest Open?
A: Yes, and also a Divination Challenge.
Q: Is Sigismund Dijkstra being the only one without a story in the Reward Tree intentional or a mistake?
A: More likely to be a mistake.
Q: Reworking the versus screen, e.g. adding back the green smoke dissolving effect and not have the screen change straight to the gameboard?
A: Would be cool, but would still need to think about how to do it.
Q: Adding an option for replacing Yrden with one's favourite card in the "Play" card in the main menu?
A: Would be cool, and is already on the radar.
Q: Adding music from previous events and expansions, and/or Witcher 3 as unlockable or purchasable cosmetics?
A: Still need to figure out how to go about adding music to the game.
Q: More cards with deckbuilding restrictions, like Shupe and Radeyah?
A: Interesting question. No real information.
Q: Would it be possible to upload TWIGs on YouTube?
A: Possibly, and making a new channel instead of spamming the official one.
[Even if this happens I will keep updating this thread.]
Q: Are there plans to expand mechanics like evolving cards and Scenarios to existing cards?
A: Possibly, but cannot promise anything.
Q: Is there a chance that we might see the lion-headed spider cult from the Witcher 1 in GWENT in the future?
A: Maybe, maybe not. Cannot say for sure.
Q: Banning specific (problematic) cards from seasonal modes?
A: Thinking about it, but instead of banning cards would be nicer to change seasonals to prevent such scenarios.
Q: Why is there no ball dress for the Triss skin?
A: Because it's Triss.
Q: Any idea how revisiting old Journeys will work?
A: Not yet.
Q: Is there a chance for a tab or panel with important news and current bugs to appear in the game?
A: Would be difficult to implement.
Q: More faction-specific Leader skins, or skins from Thronebreaker?
A: Adding Thronebreaker skins is not as simple as taking them from Thronebreaker and adding to GWENT, because the latter has changed a lot from what it was when Thronebreaker released.
Q: Is it possible to become an official GWENT partner by creating content other than videos and streams, e.g. written articles or podcasts?
A: Yes. Just need to reach out; everything will be looked at, going case by case.
Q: Observer doesn't display boosted cards in deck or like the Enslave number of the NG leader. Will this be fixed?
A: Most likely not.
Q: Ability to see all cards on the playgwent.com website?
A: Being worked on.
Q: More HUD options, streamers have trouble finding a good place for their webcam.
A: No.
Q: A "save for all" option for deck cosmetics?
A: An interesting idea, but not something on the radar at the moment.
Q: When is the explanation video for the card drops for the upcoming expansion coming?
A: Early next week.

Q: Another art contest?
A: Yes, one is coming soon.
Q: Will all Price of Power cards drops have the same amount and quality of cards for each faction?
A: That is the idea.
Q: Adding cosmetics to deck builder?
A: Might make the deck builder too cluttered.
Q: Plans to use The Witcher: Old World board game to advertise GWENT, with flyers in the game boxes?
A: Cool idea, noted.
Q: Will more arts from the first art contest be turned into cards?
A: No.
Q: Possible to get a bundle for Price of Power that only contains the trinkets?
A: Would be tied to how old Journey items could be brought back. More information probably around World Masters.
Q: A way to preview Leaders in-game like in the selection screen.
A: Could be interesting, but would be difficult to do.
Q: What does Vincent van Moorlehem say in his Nilfgaardian voiceline, and what is the translation of said voiceline?
A: Will need to check.
Q: Any plans to tell us the story of Falibor and Milaen?
A: No.
Q: Burza's favourite Price of Power reveal so far?
A: The Witchfinder.
Q: Any plans to do something for players who've reached Prestige 10 level 60 and completed all Reward Trees?
A: Possibly, but will take time.
Q: New Reward Trees for the first Price of Power drop?
A: Maybe. More details to come soonTM.
Q: Any news about Twitch Drops for World Masters?
A: More info about the event coming next week.
