Lets play some Gwent
Gaunter, I choose you!
>>339702979
Forgot muh pic
Who else thinks that the skellige deck is shit? Had a lot of problems in the tournament and had to reload a couple of times to even beat the monster deck guy
It's literally pay2win and not just in the meme way like Hearthstone
>>339702784
DAILY REMINDER THAT SKELLIGE DECK IS NOTHING BUT REFURBISHED SCOIA'TAEL SHIT WITH A SHIT TON OF ONE CARD GIMMICKS.
DAILY REMINDER THAT ONLY NORTHERN KINGDOMS AND NILFGAARD ARE WORTHY.
>>339703139
Monster is actually very playable.
>>339703072
I only had to reload once, against the Nilfgard guy cause muh spies. But I think I got some lucky hands
Really wish they added regular spy cards to the other factions
>>339703138
This makes no sense.
>>339702784
If you didn't beat this fuck on the first try, end yourself.
>>339703380
The picture*
spies imba
>>339703072
I had to reload like 5-6 times to beat nilfgaard, deck is just too good
on the upside once you're past the second game mirror skellige and scoiatel are piss easy
They should have asked you the question "do you like the skellige deck" AFTER the tournament, my answer would have been different
>>339703138
These comics make me angry
>>339703072
It is shit.
It has no spies
The light ships and shield maiden summons will get scorched every single time.
The "scorch" pirate will get you fucked most of the times.
Bran is the only worthy leader card (give back the spies he throwed me so I cannot resurrect them, seriously)
Only a healing unit
Berserkers need another card to work, that only works in the same line (so it is useless to have both the regular berseker or the young ones)
The best you can do is load it with heroes, gaunter and cow.
>>339703380
What, the child being possessed by the spirit of a 30 something years old jaded transsexual or the general logic of the entire comic?
>>339702784
Why does everyone hate the new gwent music? I thought it was pretty gud.
>>339703265
Yeah skellige storm was an incredible buff for monster
>>339703356
>>339703512
Huh, I had no problem beating the nilfgaard dude. Must've been lucky.
>>339703517
It does have an interting strategy where you can half weather damage, and basically dominate a game using weather cards.
To bad hero cards ruin this strategy
>>339703709
Monsters are melee heavy
Foltest will probably carry the remove weather from premises
Scoia tael are shit anyway
Nilfgaard is the only one I think will suffer from it.
>>339703138
Can someone explain me this comics? It might be just language barrier,but I just don't understand the final frame of it.
>>339703543
Both.
>>339703515
Don't be too angry. I'm fairly certain it was "confirmed" these comics were specifically made to paint the trans community in a bad light.
>>339703886
I don't understand any point it tries to make.
>>339703886
>im allowed to generalize about you + all cis people because of your privilege as someone who isn't trans
>anyone who disagrees with me is transphobic.
>>339703952
does anyone actually legitimately like these other then tumblr
>>339704221
Looking at it as a satire, I can appreciate it but I wouldn't say "I like it".
>>339704016
Ok, then let's backtrack a bit - the fuck are cis people? Because the comics reads as "Buzzwords are fun".
>>339704370
people who arent transgender.
trans- being the prefix for 'opposite' or something
cis- being the prefix for 'same'
i.e. you're comfortable with the gender you are
>>339703795
This is also the reason there is no point playing other decks than the Northern one. You don't have some truly epic cards... but you don't have easy-to-hit-or-counter spots. Your deck is, simply put, average, allowing a lot of interesting options. If it only had one medic more than the starter one, it would be fucking golden, but it's not like lack of 2nd medic card is making it hard or unfun.
>>339704475
Ok, now it makes some sense. I mean - the dialogues do. The end point simply goes from "uncomprehensible" to "someone is retarded"
>>339704370
cis = normal they made a new word for normal because it hurt their fefes, as in not a faggot or tranny. A man that wants to have sex with women is "cis".
>>339703706
At one point it was funny because we both had 2 decoy cards in hand, and he used one of the nilfgaard spies. I picked it up, used it, then he picked it back up, used it again, and we bounced the card around another couple of times.
Immersive Spy Simulator 2016 would play again
>>339702784
who makes these cards? everyone is playing this game. but someone is making these cards.
And why the fuck each and every beggar has "unique cards" I won from kings and heroes. These cards cost more than some people houses in this universe.
>>339704623
A man that wants to have sex with women is "heterosexual"
>>339704515
Yennefer has the medic ability, and you could also use a decoy on the medic to use it twice.
>>339704515
There is always Yennefer. Anyway the basic medic is still one of the best medics.
Scoiatael is literally strength zero. Skellige is strength two.
Monster I think they do not have. Nilfgaard is strength one.
>>339704623
They didn't invent a word for it, they stole a prefix most commonly used in chemistry when referring to the placement of hydrocarbons.
>>339705286
>>339705404
I know about that, but I'm talking about direct 2nd medic, not hero card. That would push North from "really solid deck" to "accept no substitute", because as for now, it's still a matter of strategy and preferences if you want to use North or Nilfgaard
Any other deck is shit, which is a real shame given how good the Skellige deck COULD be
>>339703981
I don't think it's trying to make any point at all, since it's lost somewhere halfway through

>>339703072
Do people use anything other than Northern Kingdoms?
Maybe if there were purist tournaments where no hero cards are allowed your faction would matter.
>>339706929
Nilfgaard is as good as NK. Monsters are gimmicky but not weak while Scoiatel are shit.
Skellige is Sociatel+. Playable but weak. You also need to play them in the tournament in Blood and Wine.

Thanks for the heads up, tho
so happy b&w added more gwent music
more earporn for my ears
How in the fuck am I supposed to play Gwent? I'm doing a new playthrough and decided I wanna git gud at it since it seems fun. Only problem is I can't understand it or what cards are good.
>>339703138
>>339708967
All cards have their uses except for Triss and Poor Fucking Peasantry.
In my experience Northern Kingdoms was the best since I had fuck all cards in every single other deck
Monsters fucking blow and can be easily countered by Frost, not to mention it may drain cards faster if you pull one of those combo cards
Same goes for Scoia'tael
Nilfgaard would be pretty good if I could actually find more than one archer card
>>339709416
>Poor Fucking Peasantry
Shit, I mean Poor Fucking Infantry.
>>339708967
Northern deck is your best call to learn the ropes.
Remember to buy cards from White Orchard innkeeper before you end up the questline there - they are unique and can't be earned later.
Cards that mutually support each other are good, BUT only if their power value is at least 3. This way the basic North infantry support card with power of 1 is shit.
Keep the deck as small as possible.
Decoys are one of the most useful cards, as they allow to remove card from the table for later use.
Scorch cards are extremely useful, as they cancel entire line of enemy cards other than heroes.
When the Tournament quest says it's level 24, it fucking means it. Really.
Learn how to use spy cards, especially combined with decoys. This way you can end up with twice as many cards at hand to play.
You start up with medic card - you can resurrect any card from your pile with medics, then decoy the medic for further use.
>>339702784

>>339708362
I haven't played it for months. it's possible that I missed one that you only get one shot and an update caused the fail, not the DLC.
>>339709560
Oh, and one more thing - don't feel ashamed of reading in the net where to find certain cards. I "rushed" Skellige just to get certain card for my deck, even if I was in the middle of Novigrad main quest.

>>339708967
>what cards are good
Scorch is a must.
The rest is optional.
When fighting against a monster or Scoi'atel deck, remove torrential rain.
Spies let you draw 2 cards while placing the card on your opponent's field
Some cards double in strenght when they're placed next to each other
Weather cards are reducing the power of every unit to 1
Morale boost is doubling the power of every unit in the same row
Hero cards cannot be altered by other cards i.e. power can't go down or up, can't be revived or destroyed

It need to be more balanced first.
Shit like setting limits to hero cards, nerf them or outright remove them would be a good start.
>>339709416
How about Roche? Literally a throw-away card I always open with in the first round and then let AI waste cards to beat it.
>>339710165

>>339710324
500 Hour base game completion time confirmed
Gwent was not a very good game because it was way too simplistic and limited in scope.
But the worst part about it is that it makes NO FUCKING SENSE IN THE GAME'S UNIVERSE.
Who manufactures the cards? Who distributes them? How do people know the rules? Who do they buy their cards from? Who determines what cards are rare? Why do the cards have high-quality illustrations of famous people on them, some of whom shouldn't actually be famous? Why do normal people have Ciri cards? Who makes these? Why does the game imply there are some cards valuable enough to kill people over? Who sets the value? Who would pay money for those cards? If cards can be valuable enough to kill for, how can some farmer in bum-fuck nowhere have a rare, unique card you can win from him? Couldn't he sell it and live a nice, rich life instead of losing it to whoever challenged him to a game of poker? Who decides how strong different cards should be? Who writes and updates the rules?
These things make no sense.
>>339703072
>using anything but Northern Realms
Sure, you're going to have a hard time against monster decks sometimes, but it steamrolls everything else. I havent even tried using other decks. Beaten the main game using only Northern Realms, and havent lost a single gwent match yet in Meme-France
Also, why does so many NPCs speak with a swedish accent in this expansion? Especially the knight who was courting the cursed bird woman. His swedishness was through the roof. I thought these people were frenchies.
>>339703072
It's actually pretty good once you get used to having no spies and build a decent deck. You can focus on either being a Melee powerhouse with good Ranged support or an Artillery powerhouse with Ranged support. I'd recommend going Melee because of Cerys' ability. Also don't choose any weather cards, add some Clear Weather in your deck, add a lot of decoys, 2 Commander's Horns, and one Mushroom special.
After that, just pray for good cards like in usual Gwent and play like you're Monster/Scoia'tael mix
>>339710908
Reworking cards is out, but changing rules regarding hero cards isn't.

>Who determines what cards are rare?
Common sense
>Why do the cards have high-quality illustrations of famous people on them, some of whom shouldn't actually be famous?

They bought them
and so on, I guess most questions can be answered with magic and innkeepers

>>339707254
Yeah, when you go with Triss to that party there's a small gwent tournament there where you have to beat three opponents. If you don't then you automatically fail the quest since it's a one time thing.
>>339711316
>get junior
>side quest

>>339711103
Gwent exists in the universe, but only dwarves played it and it obviously didnt have Geralt and Ciri cards.
Lets just pretend its magic and that the cards pictures/names change based on the psychology of the player, so Geralt sees the names of people he knows etc.
But yeah I agree its stupid, they should have actual famous leaders from the setting on the cards and not people only Geralt really know about.
>>339711379
>the innkeepers
Wat
How can "the innkeepers" conspire to manufacture a card game that literally everyone plays? How do they print the cards? Are all innkeepers in on it somehow? Even the broke ones in the middle of nowhere? How do they distribute the cards? Do people just go up to the bar and say "Gimme some Gwent cards.", and get handed a random pack?
And how does "common sense" determine the rarity of cards? That's ridiculous. How can you prove a card is rare, or more specifically, unique? Surely the cards aren't made with modern materials, forging one shouldn't be too hard, especially when you consider the amount of money Zoltan claims is involved in the rare card market. Selling counterfeits should be a huge business.
>They bought them
Why is she on the cards? Who even knows who she is? She's a random girl raised in a hidden monastery by a secret order who then ran away from bad guys. She's not a hero or a famous person.
>>339711103
Gwent was started by the Dwarves and cards were presumably made by them too. In game cards are distributed by collectors and innkeeps. They probably got their cards from other collectors and innkeeps. Dwarves probably made the best cards the rarest, common sense really.
Cards have high quality illustrations of Witcher characters on them because it's a minigame. Normal people have Ciri cards because they play Gwent and got her in a match or bought her.
In the end though, most of your concerns can be allayed with the realization thatGwent is just a fucking card minigame in a video game.
>>339711103
>Who manufactures the cards?
Dwarves
>Who distributes them?
Wizards of the Coast lel. Dwarves of course.
>How do people know the rules
Exactly the same way they know the rules of poker
>Who do they buy their cards from?
Inkeeps and merchants, just like Geralt
>Who determines what cards are rare?
The invisible hand of the market. If there is more demand for a card than there is supply of it, than it is rare and valuable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Nine#Black_Lotus
>Why do the cards have high-quality illustrations of famous people on them, some of whom shouldn't actually be famous?
Literally the only valid question you asked
>Why do normal people have Ciri cards?
You're just rewording the previous question
>Who makes these?
The Same dwarves who make all the other ones
> Why does the game imply there are some cards valuable enough to kill people over?
Because they are. Just as in our world cards exist that are worth a lot of cash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Nine#Black_Lotus
>Who sets the value?
The market. The value is whatever the seller is prepared to sell for and the buyer is prepared to pay for it.
>Who would pay money for those cards?
People who play Gwent
>If cards can be valuable enough to kill for, how can some farmer in bum-fuck nowhere have a rare, unique card you can win from him?
It's a gambling sport. He probably won it playing Gwent.
>Couldn't he sell it and live a nice, rich life instead of losing it to whoever challenged him to a game of poker?
A lot of people are addicted to gwent, just like hardcore gamblers in our world
> Who decides how strong different cards should be?
The dwarves who make them
>Who writes and updates the rules?
The dwarves who make them
>>339709692
It was part of the 1.2 update. Basically pre-patch the quest would never show as failed. With the patch in place, it detects whether you've fucked the Gwent collection.
>>339711671
Are you at least aware you don't have to win that round, right?
>>339711861
>>339711379
One says the Dwarves make them, one says the Innkeepers. Both use it as a one-word handwave to pretend it actually makes sense in the setting.
Which of you is right? Can't be both.
Fuck monster decks, that is all
Wear sunglasses with your Grandmaster Feline armor and he pulls the hood down.
>>339712025
There are books on Gwent, the dwarves do it like the jews they are.
>>339712025
>Here, let's have a shitstorm about a non-issue
How about you simply grow the fuck up and accept such think like willing suspension of your own disbelieve? Dunno, when you are watching films you are also asking people around you in the cinema why things are happening if they don't appear to make much sense to you or just accept them?
Becuase there is one option where you would be "allowed" to be such nit-picking nut - you are a fucking autist. A literal one, uncapable of suspending his disbelieve.
>>339712141
I'm still confused as to how a card can possibly be "unique". How do you prove it?
>>339706745
This fucking almost made me quit gwent altogether before I discovered it can actually be fun.
>>339712203
Dude, why are you so mad? Calm down, don't hurt yourself.
>>339712025
Neck yourself faggot, I like how your immersion is broken by a card game existing and not the fact that a legendary witcher can get his ass brutally raped some wolves
>>339712085
Stack up on freeze and scorched earth cards.
Laugh as they blow their load early and you steam roll them.
>>339712085
Combining Blizzard and Scorch when the monster deck is packed to the brim with melee units - there is little else more satisfying.
>>339712220

Well, he can also fall off a cliff. But that's not really supposed to be an in-universe thing, it's just part of the fact that you control the character's movement.For those of you spouting "HURRR AUTISM WHO CARES SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF!", I think you need to learn to take a joke. No shit the minigame doesn't actually exist in-universe in the state you play it. That's exactly the point of the questions. Because it's funny how little sense the game, as presented to the player, makes in a game world.
Kill yourselfs, you humorless retards.
>>339712536
Is there even a difference? I tried upping it to hard, and the difficulty didn't really seem to change.
>>339712564
Collecting all the "unique" cards from the random story-related assholes who you have to win them from before you lose access to them forever.
Other than that? No.
>>339712284
>why are you so mad
>mad
>>339712564
If you play against NPCs after defeating them once you can get rare materials for crafting. And of course you get gold. And the Gwent Tournament quests have extra dialogue and intrigue, like an episode of Kaiji.

it's really comfy. I like the expression on NPC faces when they accept your challenge.
that said, it's really easy after a while. I end up with 4/5 hero cards and two spies every time and win 99% first time.
lads you're arguing over Gwent
>>339712867
>Autist being unable to understand why his autism is bad
Some part of me is not surprised
So are you supposed to play these after you finish the main game or before?
I haven't even finished Skellige yet, but I'd like to know before I get there
>>339713076
You can play them any time you like.
>>339713076
Depends. Do you care about collecting achievements & all the rare/one-time opportunity cards?
In that case you need to be actively challenging EVERYONE as you play the game. And yes, I mean everyone. Unless you use a guide to find out specifically who has the rare cards.
Otherwise, don't bother, but you do miss out on a lot of chances to get certain things. They're not needed to win games or anything, so not getting them doesn't hurt you in any way.

>Cis guilt is when a cis person gets all hyperbolic when complimenting a trans woman like “omg you look so good like you’re such a goddess like truly ethereal you are goals like omg why don’t I look like you?” because they literally don’t know how to have a regular ass conversation w/ us?
Which in the context of the comic doesn't even make any sense. The guy was criticizing how bigoted the transnigger sounded, not lavishing praise, and he never compared any sort of praise with violence against transniggers.
I really can't parse what the author actually intended here. It's like trying to read something written by a schizophrenic.

Literally the easiest deck to play against. They barely have any spy units at all. All you need is the dragon scorch card and save it for when the opponent summons a shitload of melee units. Keep a revival card just in case since most times the opponent will play smart and summon one melee that has a higher attack power than other so you'll use your scorch so he could counter and destroy it.
I have 140 hours in The Witcher 3, and I've never played a single game of gwent.
Did l miss anything?

What you need to do is grab a decent amount of decoys to counter Nilfgaard and Northern. Focusing on melee/ranged is good for Skellige. When you have the option to switch out 2 cards, always switch out excess Shield Maidens or Longships.

no matter how much damage a card can output in that deck, no matter the new mechanics or the new weather cards or the leaders, the deck will always be inferior to those who have spies a.k.a northern realms and nilfgaard
