Will you add more RNG based cards in the future? Like the "spawn a random card from your deck" ones?

I'm a bit confused by this description from the Gwent website: "Representing the combined forces of Temeria, Redania and Kaedwen, the Northern Realms are proud kingdoms, united by their desire for independence. With near unmatched numbers and some of the deadliest engines of war, they are truly a force to be reckoned with."
I always thought that Nilfgaard was at least twice as large as the entire North combined in terms of size, population, army size, etc. Is this purely in reference to the number of cards able to be deployed by the faction in terms of Gwent game mechanics or is the North actually bigger cumulatively in lore too?

The new spawn mechanic (new revealed cards) is confusing. It mentions nowhere on the card that you get 3 random choices. You already head a spawn keyword which basically means create a copy of a card and play it. Why dont you make this more clear in the description? Or even better create a keyword for this, e.g. Discover (wink wink)?

We're planning to rework the seasonal rewards system to fit the month-long seasons.

It looks like everything worked as it should. Shackles should demote Vilgefortz - which makes him a valid target for the Summoning Circle (it's not a gold card now). Then a base copy of the card is spawned - and a base for your shackled non-gold Vilgefortz is standard gold Vilgefortz.

We changed it and now Temerian Infantryman can be played on any row.

Priestess of Freya is banished at the end of the round because she is Doomed (see the card abilities). We designed her that way in order to avoid chain resurrection.

Yes, because they are crucial for the new game mode we have planned

We don't have such plans. At the moment we're focusing on increasing the core pool of cards available in GWENT.

We're keeping an eye on how cards are performing. All cards that in our opinion are not performing well in will be reworked.

You're right! According to the lore, the Nilfgaardian army is bigger and better equipped than Northern armies combined, but on the other hand the reality of the war pictured in the games allowed the Northern Kingdoms to amass bigger armies than ever before and deploy forces that are comparable with Nilfgaardian might. At the same time we didn't claim that the combined armies of Northern Kingdoms are bigger than the Nilfgaardian one - "With near unmatched numbers [...] they are truly a force to be reckoned with." - we only emphasized that their army is one of the biggest in the world.

Thank you for the feedback! We'll look into it!
Maybe this was already answered in some shape or form, but I wanted to ask a question about mill.
Right now, I think mill is probably the #1 thing that hampers the games full potential growth.
My question is why is mill still supported and not just reworked? I understand that it can be an interesting archetype if done properly, but it's simply not done properly for the following reasons...
1) Mill is completely polarizing. Some decks will simply lose to mill no matter how you play around mill even though they would otherwise be interesting archetypes and provide diversity to the meta. This over time oppresses the meta and makes it more one-sided. Also queing into a game when your deck is good except auto-loses to mill is simply not fun. At the very least every deck should have somewhat of a chance against any other deck.
2) Decks that counter mill are usually pretty annoying to play against too. This could be chalked up to "Well everyone complains about some deck", but decks like 40 Card Foltest, Spies with Cantarella, Consume with Nekker Warriors are also some of the prime decks to counter mill with, and they are also some of the more annoying decks. So even after a Mill meta, the meta usually shifts towards a more annoying meta anyway.
2) Mill games are uninteresting and consistently the same. They just draw and draw and play the same cards everytime.
3) People may disagree, but mill doesn't take any skill from my point of view. There are very clear cards for what you play round 1, 2, and 3. The plays you make are pretty clear depending on your hand if you have enough knowledge of the game, and if not then you probably don't really care about balance anyway because you're more focused on learning the game.
4) Nobody goes against mill and feels good about it. It's not fun to play against at all, and most people don't enjoy playing it either but simply want free wins.
5) There are many decks that people don't enjoy playing against because it's "annoying" but no deck is like mill where it's simply depressing to play against. Like I said, it's simply too polarizing.
6) Mill doesn't feel like it fits into the game. Most decks revolve around thinning, and mill simply counters this. Thinning is the equivalent to efficiency so of course the top decks will be more efficient, and therefore thin more.
7) Only NR and NG have access to cards like Nenekke and Cantarella. Why not give other factions these cards so that there is a balanced way to counter mill without too much sacrifice, therefore allowing for more counter play and less mill seen on the ladder at the very least?
Sorry for the long post, simply wanted to make a detailed post so that it's not just another bitching post. I seriously think mill is simply bad for the game.

Are you going to change the game board and cards sizes in the game? They are to small and with large monitor screens it just does not fit.
It's a pity cos i really like this strategy game, but you need to have the eagle eyes.

Thank you so much CDPR for all the awesome work on Gwent! Any chance there would be a future mode to retro-grade the patches? in other words, go back in time and play the various beta versions until today? I think it would be kinda cool to have battle rooms where players had to use the rules from the past - even the original game from Witcher 3. The new cards are amazing and fun to play - on the other hand there are those of us who remember the halcyon days of Reaver Hunters, and stacking harpys for a triss Butterfly swarm. It's still fun to play those old states of the game, by those old rules. Sure the game is much more balanced now, and just as fun as ever - its just fun to remember how we got here. - welchi
I just started an account on Windows10 and my PS4 account obviously does not cross-buy with the XBOX account at this point (thanks for making it twice as hard Sony - sarcastically). That being said, do the CDPR dev team have a way to back-door the card buying at least during the beta? In other words send me a code that unlocks my complete card deck that I paid several hundred dollars on my Sony PS4 account to get?
I mean I paid the Sony store so they got their money. And I assume that you got your money from me buying all that meteorite dust and those hundreds of card-barrels. It seems like there could be a way to give you (CDPR) my PS4 account info, and you give me back a 'cheat code' that I can enter somewhere on the XBOX or MS site that will unlock the cards I own? In theory I dont see how that would violate any 'sharing' or contractual agreements with Sony - you are simply providing a code to me. It's up to me what I do with it right? Plus if it's encrypted, it will only work with my account.
This forum topic says "Ask a Dev" so I'm asking. Can I please have access to my full collection on all platforms?

At the start of open beta you changed field medics and you said resurrection was planned to be a SK thing only and you didn't like old field medics' ability because of that. Now you're adding resurrection cards like Paulie Dahlberg or Hattori (strange choices lore wise tbh...) to other factions. Why did you change your mind on this topic and aren't you afraid factions could lose their uniqueness?
Dear developers,
what is the current position on those premium cards NOT spawning their respective animated minions? The list is as follows:
Calaeno Harpy (Harpy Hatchling from an Egg is not animated)
Harald Houndsnout - Skulls are not animated
Germain of the Fox Hollow - Premium card does NOT spawn animated Cows left and right.
Is this intended to remain as is? The Harpy has not been patched in the two latter releases.

No. During the Winter Update we will introduce the patch and new cards. The season reset will happen later.

We're sorry, but it's not possible. For the reasons that do not depend from us it's not possible to synchronize accounts from different platforms.
BornBoring;n9966581 said:
We're adding such cards because we're testing how resurrection would work with other factions. At the same time those cards have very limited resurrection abilities compared to Skellige - for example, the cards you mentioned (Paulie Dahlberg and Hattori) cannot resurrect all units.

Why can't console players get rewarded for watching streams on Twitch/tuning in during the Gwent Challenger? Will console players ever be able to get rewards for it? Because I do watch Gwent alot.
I know this question has been delete before by the mods but I'm trying once again at least (cause I love this game!).
Again I know this is hard to answer but do you have any plans on making "refunds" or if possible make it so that console players get to keep their collection when the next gen consoles arrive? Hopefully Gwent sticks around for a while and it would be nice to have some kind of security when buying kegs. It's not even about the money, I just want to keep my stuff!
Cheers

You said you were gonna remove triplets. Which two varations of the Blue Stripes Commando is gonna be removed? I love the first one with the mask, would be a shame if he was removed. Best one hands down.
In MidWinter Update, some Rares will be turned to Commons. Will we be able to mill them for full Rare value after the patch, or should we mill them now?
