I'm posting this thread because I'm not sure if this is a placeholder implementation until they improve the performance of the game on consoles, a permanent design by the devs or simply some settings issue.
I'm playing on PS4, and pre-homecoming, all the cards in your hand and in the board would play the premium animation. After the homecoming update on consoles, only the card you're hovering over is playing the animation, and the animation is cut to stop once you switch to an other card, and the cards which are not playing the animation are only showing the old "premium missing" (looking at you, midwinter patch) swiping glow.
I'm simply gutted by this now with full premium collection as I'm not gaining the enjoyment of watching those premium cards roam the board. It might seem like an inessential thing for someone to grizzle about, but it's taking away much from the gameplay experience especially when you are used to enjoying your premiums, and to twist the knife in the wound, no such issues are present in PC. This is actually one factor that is making me consider again my future with the Gwent, as it is bothering me now every time I play.
It is obvious that this is due performance constraints from the new visuals, but I would MUCH rather take downgraded visuals on the board or remove the goofy leader models than let go of my premium animations, which were a huge selling point of the game at least for me in the first place.
EDIT: edited not to ask questions already asked in another thread
