Yeah I'm talking to YOU. It's a free card game based around the Gwent minigame from The Witcher 3.

The Open Beta just released today. I'm in the process of downloading it as we speak. Anyone else interested or already playing it?

Yeah I saw the trailer and it looks a lot deeper and the classes are different iirc. But I'm a sucker for card games so I'm definitely going to give it a shot.

I was in closed beta and stop playing it.

I loved Gwent in W3, but it changed too much of what I like from W3 into the standalone Gwent game.

I had access to the closed beta but was too lazy to actually play it. But the recent trailer for it got me hyped.

I thought in game Gwent was okay, but I wanted it to be deeper. This seems like it has the depth I was looking for, plus there's a story for this standalone apparently. Maybe I can actually finish it unlike the actual Witcher 3 lol

Speaking of which, they can't really wipe them now that there's micro transactions... right?

No, there were microtransactions before, if you bought a keg you'll get a new keg now.

No harm in just trying it out. It's free after all.

If you're playing casually, PS4. If you want to get serious and play more frequently and competitively, go PC. PC generally has the larger install base for this kind of thing.

I tried it when the closed beta first launched.
It was pretty fun but I felt like it was far too microtransaction oriented.

Witcher 1 and 2 had Dice Poker, they replaced that with a full-blown CCG called Gwent in 3.

The public beta should be free so you might as well try it out, though don't expect the depth of MTG.

If I can't summon big demonic dragons then it's a bad card game

Also fully digital card games are suspect imo, Scrolls was kind of fun but Order was OP, and Hearthstone is just trash. Plus Gwent was really simplistic in W3 so they would've had to p much fully redesign a new card game from the ground up since og Gwent has so little player interaction.

Like, og Gwent was literally you and the AI trying to out-Solitaire each other

The standalone version has more mechanics to add complexity but at the end of the day it still felt rather p2w.

It depends on how good the interface is. Like, ygopro is fantastic for being full mouse control, but the port of Legacy of the Duelist, made by an actual company, was trash with KBM

It's not trying to be a MTG. It embraces its simplicity, but there's plenty of depth there as well.

GWENT has actually been changed up quite drastically for the standalone game compared to the Witcher 3 version. Some noticeable changes:

-Cards now have bronze, silver and gold types. Each deck can only contain 4 gold and 6 silver so you can't outfit a deck with nothing but overpowered cards.

-Cards can have multiple effects now, including activating when the card is placed, if it's attacked, if the other player plays a certain type of cards, etc.

-Cards can now get armor to help give them additional protection from enemy effects. Armor can also be used in regards to certain special abilities (for example, one card gives an additional point of strength to cards next to it for every turn they have at least 1 armor point).

-Both players choose a special leader card that can be played once per match, which gives you a unique ability. For example if you have Foltest he's worth 4 strength, and when played gives every single card in your hand and deck an additional point of strength.

-While the game still starts with both sides drawing 10 cards (and being allowed to redraw 3 of them), each additional turn grants cards and redraws (turn 2 gives both players 2 cards and 1 redraw, and turn 3 gives both players 1 card and 1 redraw).

I'm sure there's more I'm missing, but you get the point. It's got the same basic structure as the Witcher 3 version, but they've changed up so much that it feels like a different game (for the better in my opinion). And although it wasn't mentioned in this topic yet the final version of the game will have five 10+ hour single player campaigns with branching paths and written by the writers of Witcher 3. So there will be plenty of single player content as well.

Simpler doesn't equate well to a game where you're competing against human players, though.
