Hello dear fellow Forum dwellers, wish you all a Happy Christmas and Happy Holiday season! I want to open my reentry to the forum with a post about MOO and congratulate CDPR. I took a big break from Gwent before Iron Judgement dropped. Not because of the usual complaints from others (about the stale meta), but because I was too addicted to Gwent and it affected my personal and professional life. I bought the Iron Judgement premium pack and I wanted to play it after a few weeks of it being dropped. I logged in, but couldn't get myself to create a deck as I had to create one of the four decks (enslave, pincer maneuver, harmony, or wild card). I couldn't control myself and created an elf deck and played against AI. On its first turn, it used all its charges and I quit the game and uninstalled again. But all the while I followed up the forum as an anonymous uses (as if I login and open, I will spend a lot of time in replying).
Then, suddenly as a surprise MOO was dropped. My initial thought was "this should have been rushed like hell and the art should suck" *cough Betsy cough*. But how wrong I was? MOO has one of the BEST consistent art of all expansions IMHO. Matta, Feign Death, Saer Quan (just the art.. the card ability sucks though), Trained Hack etc were too damn pretty. With all the scenario and the faction stratagem, and the holiday around the corner, I wanted to try and ever since I am having a blast.
One more reason why I think MOO should be the most successful expansion is, it has depleted all my resources . When I bought Novigrad and Iron Judgement expansion pre-order packs, I did it solely to support the game. I didn't need to buy. But now, if an another expansion hits, I would have to buy or grind a lot to catch up. I had to animate Matta (simply one of the best animated cards), Feign Death (very little animation, but that triumphant smile on that lady elf is priceless), Vernossiel (not exceptional animation, but since she is trying to revive elves, I animated her), and few other cards and my MP was close to 0. I had to buy a lot of kegs and my ore got to 0. My scraps are close to 3k (I had 10+k). So, all in all, MOO should have been the best expansion for CDPR as with that people who had around 800+ hours in open beta would have got their resources from the GREAT MILL depleted.
Thank you CDPR for the amazing surprise expansion. It is well done and Congratulations for such a quality product. I wish your entire team a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
