Gwent's open beta came out on the 24th. You grinding ranks yet anons? Getting some free kegs? Got a favorite archetype? Favorite faction or card? Want to post a deck idea you have?
I've been missing around with the new Wild Hunt mechanics as that's the cards I've been getting out of kegs. Been pretty fun. Digging the weather changes.
Sidenote, in one of the tutorials it gets you to create a premium card but doesn't refund meteorite powder. I believe CDPR is planning to change that in a patch, at least I hope so. Wasted 100 meteorite powder on a Clear Skies premium.
Gwent was fun in the Witcher game But the whole thing seems shallow as fuck
Even RNGstone seems better than this

The standalone Gwent is much different than Witcher 3's. I didn't care for it much in W3 either.

I thought it was an interesting game, but I felt you had to be an extreme autist to go after the cards when you have the main game and batter side quests sitting in front of you. I'm going to enjoy the game now that it has a standalone title.
Matthew Martin
That's how I felt as well, and on top of that W3 Gwent was a bit too shallow as the other user said. Had potential though, and I'm glad they have attempted to get in depth with in standalone Gwent. Bunch of new mechanics from W3's version, and just in the switch from closed to open beta they did a lot of redesign of cards and mechanics too.
I'd say it's worth a try at least. The new starter decks in open beta looked alright from what I saw, and you get all the faction leaders for free now if you do the challenges. It's pretty easy to get free kegs just from winning rounds too.
Luis Lewis
I should say except for Nilfgaard. Nilfgaard's starter deck is probably the worst one from what I saw. I'd have to look at it again, but I pretty much removed all the starter decks and went straight into opening kegs I got from playing in closed beta and built my own deck.

Trying out the whole Northern Realms armor mechanic and I can't really figure out why they decided to not let you weather your own side of the board. Would be useful for cards like Redanian Elite to play fog or rain on their row. On top of that let you choose which side of the board to use Clear Skies on so if someone were to use that technique just remove their weather, and you got other counters with it like D-Shackles and shit so yeah. Would make sense for it to work that way.

From googling it seems the issue is that GOG galaxy thing doesn't work in Wine. Gwent itself does though from what I have read. Maybe there's a way to bypass galaxy, but I don't know.
