Hello,

I've returned to Gwent, haven't played it ever since the Homecoming update. It's been a while, and good lord, what has this game become a firedumpster. And the micro transactions, jezus Christ. They've brought in multiple ways to play each deck, but there is one version of each deck that is properly meta. The rest are just pointless, really. A lot of fluff and filler, while nearly everyone goes for the same meta. It's pathetic, and the state of this game has become pathetic. NR has absolutely nothing going for them, other than the Witcher decks. Nilfgaard has been changed so hard since Beta, it doesn't feel like Nilfgaard at all. Elves are still broken with their moving around shit. It's sad. Skellige.. Well.. They've got good stuff going for them.

Are there any more returning players that feel like this? Why has CD projekt done this to a fresh and good idea? Feels like EA is running the show.

I think Gwent has become a dumpsterfire too and I've been playing 4 years now. Your poll is a bit weird though, because the game right now is definitely better than Homecoming, but nowhere near as good as Beta. So it's hard to answer.

That's because Homecoming cut out all the mechanics of the game like Armor, Shield, Duel, Veteran etc. and decided to slowly reintroduce them in expansions to make money. It was so bare bones at Homecoming you could hardly even call it a strategy game.

Obviously Beta was the greatest period of Gwent, but right now definitely isn't the worst.

NR shieldwall was meta for roughly 6 months along with skellige, since the last expansion. And the NR decks with witchers are fairly strong IMO.

Movement ST has only seen a reemergence post-wotw expansion which was released 8th of dec. Prior to that it was pretty dead.

Gwent in its current form is probably the best it is going to get, its not going to get better than this. The current meta sees a lot of different viable playstyles available. EDIT: Beta gwent is not coming back, its gone regardless of what one might think of that.

I've yet to encounter a single person who has expressed even the slightest interest in returning Gwent to the Homecoming era. I think you meant to say that Beta Gwent is not coming back since that's what the players ask for.

Granted, I wasn't around back then, but it wouldn't take much for Gwent to be better than it is now. The overall card balance over the course of 2020 was not great.
