Homecoming to mill entire collection; "Most likely" full scrap value

Interesting we get to hear about this now. Even more interesting is that the full mill value is "most likely". What are the chances of this getting out of hand and us not getting as much scrap as we should? Kinda worried.

If we don't get full value then I imagine we'll get refunded for the kegs that we bought otherwise they're just kind of ripping us off

Yeah, I was curious about it as well. Sounds odd to force each and every player to rebuild their entire collection with HC. I understand cards are changing, some might get removed, bronzes are dropping to 2 copies and presumably a lot of changes we haven't heard, but will hear about soon, are still a possibility. It'd make far more sense to only auto-mill the appropriate cards, refund their value, leave the rest alone and give a week to a month time-span where every card gets full value via milling. It may be more work for the devs but a complete collection auto-mill is ridiculous.

All we need is a button to mill all spare specific card copies.

It’s better this way so people who don’t realize homecoming is coming don’t get screwed over once the grace period is done. Who cares? Just craft the things you want

You know, there might be a chance I will not be around for HC and this means I could miss the Mill period. So, for me, this is way better solution, cause it means I will not have to target few dates to enter and mill whatever I want.

I think this is the better way to go. Especially if 80% of the cards will get changed anyway.

 

[DMaster2]

Great solution, everyone start out fresh and there is no abuse possible since the mill is done server side. After that you can craft whatever you want.

I particularly find it handy because i have quite a few lacking premiums and getting full refund allow me to recraft them directly as premium using scraps (which i will have in abundance anyway).

 

[Karolis.petrikas]

I am honestly concerned about "most likely" part of this all. Could @Burza46 clarify this?

 

[FG15-ISH7EG]

I doubt he can clarify it yet, else he wouldn't have written "most likely". But from what he has said so far, I doubt that CDPR will make anything that leaves players after recrafting with less cards than before.

 

[devivre]

Yes, please be patient. I‘m sure we‘ll know more when the time is right.

 

[Snake_Foxhounder]

I'd really like to know how the entire system is going to work.

What happens to any unused ore?

What happens to unopened kegs?

What abut unused scrap?

Do we need to spend all of them on cards or do we keep everything unused?

 

[bojerbela]

What happens to any unused ore?

You will retain your currencies

Nothing, they stay with your account.

What abut unused scrap?

Thank you very much.

 

[Shadow-Stalker]

Quite high with CDPR'S stance toward letting the Gwent playerbase down.

Almost 95% chance in actual fact.

A reasonable response. I suppose I had not considered it from this perspective.

In that case make it optional. When HC is first launched by the player present a one-time option asking if they would like to auto-mill their collection for full value. Additionally, give a week to month period of full refund value on everything. Players in your position get full value even if they miss the week to month period. Players whom do not want to rebuild their entire collection, but can be present for HC, don't have to rebuild it and can adjust around HC changes. Players living under a rock and oblivious to HC don't get screwed either .

It sucks for players like me because I don't want to have to manually craft every damn card over again.

 

[idomyownstunts]

Mill my cards, use them for toilet paper. Don't care, just hurry the fook up.

This. You can't please them all I guess. Either those who won't be around for a long time when HC hits, or us who play regularly and will have to craft everything from the beginning again, are screwed

I do have 5.1k ore, lots of scraps, MP and some kegs though. I hope nothing happens to those. Lots of duplicates in my collection that I haven't milled as well, particularly ones for which I have 3 transmuted versions and 3 standard ones. I do wonder what happens with those

You mean that guys that won't be around would not have to craft all their cards too? Come on...
