Nice video.

Time to go play some.

 

[JIecuk]

Can someone, please, explain why you can get 4 gifts per day? Daily crown progression is 6, 12 and 24 rounds, i.e. 3 rewards. What am I missing?

 

[shepherdmoon]

Jlecuk, I think you can repeat the 24 rounds one more time before it cuts you off.

 

[Evangium]

I hope I'm reading things right and the red envelope has an assortment of prizes that you may choose one of. If so, then will they be randomised for each envelope, or will each envelop be sequential regarding cosmetic prizes?

 

[JIecuk]

Jlecuk, I think you can repeat the 24 rounds one more time before it cuts you off.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks! 66 won rounds for 4 packs though...

 

[Jackets_94]

What a nice update! thanks for the hard work!

 

[Pacifixer]

I just hope the drop rate for vanities is more reasonable than last time. The design of this event is much better than "The snowman madnes", so hopefully you learned from your mistakes.

 

[Salomee]

I assume it might be possible to get an envelope per match or even round. It is shown in the video. Either way: Thanks CDPR!

 

[TanatosRex]

Good stuff! ..... but AGAIN, NOTHING in the shop for meteorite powder

 

[Hiperon]

I think you got red envelope same time you could get reward points, at least that's how it worked for me.
But uh.
How do you open this red envelope? Where do I got it? Was it auto-open when i clicked "next" or something like this?

 

[Draconifors]

How do you open this red envelope?

Based on the video Shupe will open it for you, like kegs.

 

[Hiperon]

Thank you, found it, "open goodies" i got envelope.

Here we go again... seems like CDPR "liked" this model of easy events, and will probably keep up all year.

And i guess i'll have to be the a-hole that points out that even though the new vanities are cool, they dont exactly fit the witcher theme and aesthetics, there's no chinese or asian equivalent in the witcher world.

I would not mind that.

It is a fair point, although Santa Crach is also not exactly lore friendly.
And lumping characters into the same faction based of mere nationalities at birth or race is not exactly lore friendly either (e.g. Isbel and Geralt being usable with Ardal is pretty ridiculous).

Spoiler: Nice card back

Card backs look cool in 2020. I will not waste my time on that. It would be better to give players guaranteed rewards, not random ones. I'm sick of randomness, it's disgusting. What is the point of participating in these events if you can still not get anything in the end?

 

[Traetus]

I am not seeing 30% off of any faction kegs. Did this not start yet?

 

[Snowdog36]

Hey,

I got a red envelope, can someone please tell me where do i find it in game, to see whats inside?

thanks

 

[betraymechino]

In shop, where you open kegs.
