Many newb impressions. Plus questions about cards, Gwentdb, Gwentup, & winrates.

by giving the characters sentenses inspired by pornography.

Gwent is based on the Witcher games, which is known for its violence and nudity. Even though Gwent received a lower age rating, I would still like to see the "maturity" of the Witcher universe remain intact. Having said that, what are you talking about? Can you give an example of such a sentence?

I dont think First Light should be allowed. It is so easy to clear the board of hazards with just that single card. There is only 1 card that can actually create an entire board of hazards and that is a Gold card, which you can only have 1 of.

3 actually, Ragh Nar Roog, Korathi Heatwave, and Shupe's Day Off (but only one of 15 possible variants). and White Frost (2 rows), and 3x of 4 more, plus Pit Trap.... and that's before the mages (6) and spawns (3) that can bring more. You can actual fill a deck with nothing but weather and tutors and still have leftovers in a 25 card deck. Without a clear all, it's ugly.

I know Witcher has nudity and strong language, I know magic as practiced by Crowley has a lot to do with extreme shit and practices, but that doesn't justify anything.
I had a guy yesterday saying all the time he was ahead in points the same phrace. You know just once it is annoying, but repeating this shit is disturbing.
I won't tell which phrase, but I consider three in Gwent flaming add ons.

If the emotes bother you, you can always mute the opponent by clicking on his avatar. Alternatively, you can disable emotes globally in the settings menu.

I didn't know this, thanks, I will use it.

Hello! I am a new player also, and I was playing arena for the past few days and atm I feel like the game is trolling me.
1) First of all cards have effects which are not mentioned in card description which is very confusing. Example King Foltest: Boost all other allies and your non-Spying units in hand and deck by one. And then he goes and boosts units on board also.

2) Cards have confusing tags/descriptions. Example: Not all special cards are spells, but all special cards are spell-like. Also resurrect for some reason refers to only your graveyard, instead of just adding a simple "from your graveyard" or "from your opponents graveyard"(which is mentioned specifically) or "from both graveyards" after the word resurrect.

3) The moment I started picking cards from one faction I stopped getting cards from that faction completely...

4) With less than one 1/3 of cards owned, opening 20 new kegs gave me no golden or silver cards and I ended up with 53 spare cards...

5) And Captcha for new forum members is bugged as hell.

1. Some card descriptions can indeed be a bit confusing, or not clear enough. If you feel that there is room for improvements or clarifications, you can send feedback through this form: https://www.playgwent.com/en/contact-support They do read the forums too, but that form is the most effective way of contacting them in cases like this.

2. Kinda same as above.

3. That's most likely just temporary bad luck

4. Also bad luck, which can happen to everyone. Sometimes it takes many kegs with no golds at all, sometimes you get very juicy kegs even if you open just a few.

5. Could you tell us how the Captcha is bugged? Did you fill the captcha after you had written your post and just before you were about to send it? If you first fill the Captcha and then start to write your post, it may be required more than once per post. (We are sorry about the posting limitations, but unfortunately due to earlier spam attacks on the forums, it is necessary to have. Please try to be patient.)


Also, welcome to the forums

If Captcha is filled first it refreshes a page from time to time requiring me to fill it again each time, but the refresh it does deletes the text until the last auto save. Also if you try to ignore it after it refreshes the page, once you finish typing you can't fill it again so you need to refresh the page again. Obviously I wait to finish writing before I fill it now.

I am using google chrome, with only AdBlock and BetterTTV extensions.

anything that says something like "all X" means "in play" is assumed... anything else is gravy

2) Cards have confusing tags/descriptions. Example: Not all special cards are spells, but all special cards are spell-like.

Specials is a super class of cards that includes anything that isn't a unit (card with a strength number on it). "resurrect" assumes your graveyard, unless otherwise specified.

3) The moment I started picking cards from one faction I stopped getting cards from that faction completely...

it's not worthwhile to concentrate on a single faction in arena... it's also probably not in your best interest to play in arena until you you have a very strong understanding of both individual card effects, and their interactions... you'll get more mileage out of casual round wins.

4) With less than one 1/3 of cards owned, opening 20 new kegs gave me no golden or silver cards and I ended up with 53 spare cards...

20 kegs isn't that long to go without a gold in a keg... my current estimate based on kegs opened is 1 in 24 on average... there's another user that estimates it lower but they've als been tracking theirs since before the midwinter expansion.

5) And Captcha for new forum members is bugged as hell.

my only suggestion is to get past 10 posts quick and wait a day... then at least it'll go away while you're logged in. the stupid thing still pops up for me on login entirely too often, even using a stable IP.
