For better or worse the Gwent community is going full meme during this wait for Homecoming.

game was essentially abandoned by CD Project while they make Gwent 2.0

There's a six month wait until the new version comes out, heard it was because they changed project lead. I recommend going to reddit and twitch and doomsaying about two rows killing the game forever.

Is that in the same game? Or completely new? What the gently caress happened it was really off to a strong start.

Yeah, it is a large scale overhaul / update that should change core mechanics or something like that. A lot of people really hated on the midwinter update (if you weren't around, it added the keyword create, which functions like hearthstone's discover) and there was a ton of complaining about that and other things with it.

If you consider releasing a balance patch, a hotfix, and the coolest faction battle prize they've done so far as essentially abandoning the game, sure.

I mean yeah, I get that the announcement of the revamp has left some things up in the air, but all of y'all act like they shut down the servers the instant they announced Homecoming.

Oh, as rydiafan says, the game is there, fine, and functional! There won't be a lot of updates for awhile, but with the nerfs to some of the more egregious cards, gwent is still playable and all. I don't know what the latest boogeyman deck is, though...

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
There's no planned changes until october. I still play the game but "abandoned" is totally a fair description. If a card is op or obnoxious now, like Restore or Assire + dead spies, nobody in a position to change it can be expected to care.

It's also not clear at all just how different the game will be in october. I think two rows is only the very beginning, I give a 30% chance of face being added to the game.

The game isnt bad by any means right now though. Alchemy and greatswords seem the strongest but if you have some plan to beat them, even a dumb one that relies upon drawing specific cards, you can enjoy yourself.

But they didn't say they aren't cancelling homecoming :tinfoil:

I'm just kidding, of course, I don't keep up with the news so I'll try it when it eventually happens. Hopefully it (or at least the singleplayer campaign) ends up fun!

they aren't cancelling homecoming, they only show high quality products, unless it's midwinter update

What happens to all the cards that are unlocked when they re-do the game?

IIRC they said you will be able to dust your cards for full value.

Thronebreaker will be an RPG game, not a card game
It will be standalone, users will not need to download Gwent to play it

https://clips.twitch.tv/HealthyGrotesqueMarjoramChocolateRain

Just generally, they really wanted to talk Cyberpunk, not Gwent or Thronebreaker and encouraged people not to ask about them after they'd given this information because that's all the information they want to give, and they want to focus on Cyberpunk

Annoyingly enough, the current plan is that everyone's entire collection will be automatically dusted.

I guess it's the only way to make sure nobody misses the window, or whatever.

Huh. Alright then. That'll save some time :v: That said, I'm not that hopeful about Gwent's future given the recent Thronebreaker news.

So, uh, found the thread and suddenly second guessing myself about getting in the game. Is it dead? Is it being rebooted? I don't understand what's going on. :shobon:

it is currently dead while we're all waiting for the reboot, which i think is due in october.

it is free to play though so you can always check it out and see how you like it!

It might be worth waiting. It isn't shut down or anything and there are probably still players, but there's a large scale overhaul update scheduled for a couple months from now. There's also a separate single player RPG campaign coming as well.

Well I suppose that's true!

Was just a bit confused by the "reboot" thing. Sounded like everything was being scrubbed rather than a revamp.

It seems like even money right now that the game will end up worse so if you're curious give it a shot now. Game's very unique.

(full disclosure: I expect it to be horrible post-homecoming)

I'm getting the hang of how certain things synergise, and what bounces off what still. Throwing together a lot of awful, random lists but the losses have been neat education.

Well, while I can't say if it's "good" I've thrown together something that basically drowns the enemy in spiders, then buffs those spiders while hurling fog and rain everywhere. Chip damage from the hazards really adds up against people silly enough not to bring the sunlight with them.

The visuals look amazing. The gameplay remains to be seen. All in all, probably still dead game but potential for a spark of life
