GWENT: Ask a Dev

[Burza46]

Hi Burza, want to ask some question if possible:

Do we see some new effect/tipology of cards?

I liked to play old discard deck, can you bring some love/improvement?

You will see a complete overhaul of mechanics.

Hi Burza. I would like to ask about the future policy of leaders' abilities.
Now in Gwent there are leaders with narrowly focused abilities supporting only one archetype (Arachas Queen - consume, Voorhis - reveal, Harald the Cripple - axeman), leaders who have a connection with some archetypes, but not so obvious (Eithne - spels, Bruver - dwarfs) and leaders who do not have an archetype at all (Jan Calveit, Crach) . At the same time, variable leaders have more variety in the composition of the decks ( Jan Calveit - Alchemy, soldiers or tempo reveal; Crach - greatswords, veterans). What will the leaders look like in Homecoming? Will they be more variable like Calveit or will you make them more narrowly directed? Or will you continue to combine both of these options as in the game now?

I bit of both, we want leaders that are versatile and those that help specifics archetypes

1. Will Clan Brokvar and Tordarroch be making a comeback for Skellige after their respective cards deserted for Clans Tuirseach and An Craite?

2. That doesn't seem like a super OP ability like you said it is, unless you REALLY brought down the power level in cards or there's a catch

Thank you for answering to so many questions every day on these forums and the polish ones, I'm sure the community appreciates all your answers
I hope the spirits in the team are still high and I'm sure all of us are really excited to see how Homecoming looks, especially after your game search leek
Good luck to you and the team in the final stretch!

1. They are there
2. Yes, we brought down the power level for cards

What about daily rewards and quests? Maybe I'm just playing Gwent too much time, but I think gathering card collection in the game is too fast On my main account I can afford to craft anything, and now it's boring, I even started playing from the very beginning on a new account.

They stay pretty much the same, but there will be some improvements and incentives to play a bit more

Hello Burza.

Some i know some people who are in top 100 pro ladder and in Ranked are checking their emails every day hoping to get an invite to a NDA PTR. My questions is there will be announcement about when it starts or when those people should stop doing every day email checks?

This is a closed PTR under NDA, so no, I don't plan to announce this.
If you worked with us on previous PTRs you'll get and invite if not then most likely this won't change

 

[Burza46]

So I'd like to buy some Kegs because of the event, thing is I don't know if I will like HC. Can we have a video before the end of the event so I can make my mind about buying the Kegs or not? =P

There will be a video coming, don't have a day or time for it yet.

Hello mr Burza I'm very much looking forward homecoming and thronebreaker but have a few questions on what it may be about.
1. Do you think homecoming will be great?
2. Will old mechanics such as trio or orders make a comeback?
3. Have you seen the VFX on some of the newer cards just curios?
4. Also how is the gameplay compared to right now cause atm it's kinda just slap a card and put points on the board
Anyway thanks for responding to all these questions and miss the streams btw.

1. Yes, I think it will revolutionize the way we play and think about GWENT
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. It's totally different right now, plus the power level of cards is a lot lower and there are less tutors in the game, so the game is less swingy

Hey, Burza,

Not sure if answered but, are you happy with the Reveal Archetype? Do you intend to keep it? Cause i am on the fence with it - information get from revealed cards can absolutely turn the game on its head. I don't think it is really healthy. Maybe save reveal opponent's cards for only Gold or something like that - I get the benefactor of revealing your own cards (Spotters, Daerlans etc.), but revealing opponent' cards in hand is really so irritating.

Still toying with the reveal mechanic, so I don't have a solid answer for you regarding this.

 

[Burza46]

Will homecoming encourage creative thinking?

Yes

 

[Burza46]

Will you guys give the option to hide names to prevent deck tracking from opponents

No.

 

[Burza46]

Are there any plans for ways to sort decks other than last editted, and if not can it quickly be implemented? Scrolling through up to 40 to get to ones you use the most can be tiresome.

Last used will be on top in the deck selection menu.

 

[Burza46]

Will you have any plans for joining gamers in clans/guilds - to creat something like clan wars in some global map?

Not planned.

 

[Burza46]

Hi Burza,

Will you please add a "craft all missing cards" button to the card collection with the HC update?
This would be invaluable to players who will have enough scraps to craft the whole collection after all their cards are milled at start of HC.
It will save a huge amount of time compared with crafting cards one by one at the start.

Not planned.

 

[Burza46]

Hello，May I ask whether the mill card system will be deleted, this deck win way is really disgusting, very affect the game experience.hope to delete it please.

Yes, mill won't be a thing.

 

[Burza46]

Greeting Burza~
For now，there are no cards belonging to the Eternal Fire，Order of the Blaming Roses and Salamandra，though this faction has a very important position in the game，does this mean anything？

Maybe

1 Now Nilfgaard has reveal archetype,The Guardian and Assire.After HC, will the empire have more dirty cards like this ? (I really love the dirty ways to win)
2 Will there be a fixed update cycle after HC ? For more DLCs and single campaigns ?

8 It was mentioned that units placed in different rows will have different effects. What are the different effects exactly? Armor? strengthen? duel?

[Burza46]
