Gwent quests. Couple of quick questions.

Hi all, just have a few questions regarding Gwent quests.

firstly, ive completed 'Velen players', 'big city' and 'innkeeps'. Im having trouble finding out how to initiate the quest for 'old friends'.
Really want to get some of the cards from this quest but have no idea where to go, and very cautious on moving too far forward as I know some parts of this game can be missed.

I read somewhere that you challenge a guy in Rosemary and Thyme, but I cant find anyone (is this an inn? all ive found is a general location in novrigard). can anyone pinpoint where this guy is and if there is any prerequisite or is this only available after a noticeboard or something? and do the rest of them only become challengeable after accepting the quest and doing them in order, im mostly interested in taking on thalor at the seven cats inn for the Geralt card but I cant see the guy there either.


Secondly,
I know theres others that have had issues with the white orchard innkeep disappearing after moving on to velen, has anyone found a workaround? I didnt buy the cards there and ive gone way too far to start again. if any devs are looking at this could this be considered for a patch? (im on xbox one btw), there doesnt seem to be any good reason why she disappears as far as story goes so it would be nice to see her there instead of a bunch of drunks apparently drinking for free at an unmanned bar.

thirdly, "big city player" is labelled as complete but there are some cards I havent gotten yet according to the varios location guides. Does this quest re-initiate later on as you progress or is there some challengers that are optional that i may have missed or am i just blind and not seeing the cards (yes ive checked all 4 decks set to show all cards).


Lastly, non-gwent related, if theres anyone in the late game, would be good to get some map screenshots of the various areas with all non explorative locations uncovered, as in shops, inns, fast travel points and noticeboards. Thngs that you would expect to see on a purchased map but nothing quest related etc (special points all filtered out). havent seen anything extensive through my searches and as much as id love to go explore everything myself it can get a bit tedious and I unfortunately dont have a heap of time to invest in this im sorry to say, so the time i do get i would like to sometimes just get to where im going.

Any help is appreciated and thanked in advance.

cheers

Big CIty Player seems bugged there's meant to be four players but it ends after two so you miss out on 3 cards, 2 from players and 1 quest reward for beating all four

check your quest log to see if you completed 4 objectives or just 2

mines bugged too http://i.imgur.com/r8oxrOV.jpg

Only 2

Vimme Vivaldi (Vesemir card) and Marquise Serenity (Voorhis)

So missing Cirilla and esterad cards aswell as one of the scoi'tal leader cards... great... also cant get one of the leader cards from the innkeeper from white orchard.
I couldnt give a stuff about the achievements for getting all of them but I definately want the Cirilla card for the power and the lord commander of the north for the clear weather.

Are you on PC or console? Just wondering if it's only PC

I've posted about the bug here http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/38773-Quest-Bug-Gwent-Big-City-Players?p=1687438

xbox one.
While your here do you know the location to start the "Old Friends" gwent quest? or do you remember at all how you started it whether it was by noticeboard or somewhere?

This is not a bug. The innkeeper doesn't disappear, she moves out of town. You can run into her again elsewhere, though at least for me she was no longer selling anything (in fact she accused me of being a murderer).
