Subvisual Haze posted:people have been tossing around using Emhyr instead of Calveit in a spy deck. The main strategy seems to using Emhyr to reuse your VV Medics or Celleach which in turn triggers the impera brigade and enforcer synergy as much as possible. Could potentially work. Can't say this is weirder than the Morvran Mill Reveal that is doing the rounds.

Subvisual Haze posted:Haha, I kind of assumed someone at CDPR took away his reddit account the last time he went combative with everyone and declared GwentUp's winrate statistics to be a total fabrication for some reason. He was right about Gwentup though. King Bran was doing a lot better than the reports were showing. But regardless more of these card games should have their lead designers talk trash to reddit fools.

Minrad posted:Rethaz getting mad on Reddit again, after saying things in Twitch chat Rethaz is a brave man for going after both Twitch chat and Reddit. All he needs now is some twitter feuds. It seems too that CDPR changed the mulligan system and didn't tell anyone, so the image on the OP is wrong now. It no longer works like that. Instead when you blacklist a card during the mulligan, the copies that were in the deck(not the ones you mulligan) get moved up on the list, or something? The mulligan in this game is both the best and the worst at times.

ShowTime posted:I'll update the OP. Does anyone know exactly how the mulligan system works so I can update correctly? Some dude on reddit is crushing some numbers, so far his conclusions are this: quote:Conclusion: The original mulligan bug (The one that makes you 2x as likely to redraw Crones, etc.) is likely gone. Unique cards will only be drawn with the same frequency as every other card. The mulligan bug that remains isn't really a bug - it relates to the other copies of the card in your deck moving up in the deck, while not being able to be drawn due to blacklisting. I guess it's going to take sometime until more people actual do more tests, but we do know now via Rethaz that mulligan no longer works like it use to.

Subvisual Haze posted:To dramatically win an internet argument against someone who is complaining about at a thing that has actually been stealth fixed? People didn't figure out blacklisting during the first 3-4 months of CB. Once Swim and others started to write and make videos about it, people started to notice that you tended to draw muligan cards more often. Because nobody knew better it was called a bug. People are still calling it Mulligan Bug today, despite Rethaz saying it was working as intended, because ofc it has to be a bug, why would a dev do that.  The game is filled with these weird interactions that aren't documented, and the only way to figure them out is extensive testing. Like how Nilfgaard Knight doesn't actually do what it says it do. He doesn't reveal a random card on your hand, he reveals a random card based on colour. So if you have bronzes, he will always reveal a bronze, if you have Silvers or Golds but no bronzes, he will always reveal the silver. Same thing with what triggers before what. Like during Gwentslam, none of the casters knew what triggered first, drought weather effect or Dol Blathana Trapper fireball trap.(And I can't remember what triggered first now either )No Wave posted:Sweet. That's exactly what I'd assumed. The simplest solution is to reshuffle blacklisted cards as you draw them instead of drawing around them - you could even graphically show this occurring. But it does have some gameplay consequences (the Guardian being the simplest example). As is this mull change solves a significant part of the problem. Cantarella too, as an example that is played more often. If you decide to not draw the first card, that one goes to the bottom, if the deck is shuffled, then welp.

Captainicus posted:Holy smokes, is this actually true? That'd make a deck with nilfgaard knights, combined with footsoldiers and fire scorpions, way better than it seems. I haven't played nilfgaard knight in forever, nor have my opponents, so I've never noticed this... It's how it works and nobody seemed to have noticed until Lifecoach started to goof around with reveal, 4 weeks ago or so. I think Garunah also came to a similar conclusion early on last season, but he never did the testing like Lifecoach. At first he was convinced that there was a hidden bonus that Nilfgaard Knights revealed cards that benefited from the effect(Foot Soldiers, Scorpion). After a bunch of test runs, he concluded that there was no hidden bonus and that the Knight did randomly reveal a card but there is a order of reveal, first bronzes, if no bronzes then silvers, if none then golds. Once you know this, it's the sort of thing you will never not notice, and start to take in account. This means if your hand is 1 spotter, 1 knight and Geralt, you can just go ahead and concede, there is no 50-50.

Skellige is in a weird place right. It seems to have gotten itself out of the dumpster, but it's all thanks to one card, Restore. Monsters is still the best faction to start out and build your collection. Eredin is decent and you can build a more control focused deck or try out all those swarm decks around, and if you strugglin,g Dagon+Woodland Spirit+23 random cards can carry you to 4K.

Wolfsbane should just buff/hit the lowest/highest unit on the board, so it can enable the best worst plays from both players every 3rd turn.

No Wave posted:I assume it only goes off once. Please tell me it only goes off once. It works like Bork and other timer cards, so it should just go off once. Still it would be better as a weird broken card that can make games go spectacularly wrong by having no ally/enemy tags, instead of a straight Skellige Discard buff, or Johnny nonsense. Edit: Also I see people complaining about the new reveal soldier man. It's a pretty decent card and better than Serrit, but I'm not sure if we're getting the long awaited T1 Reveal deck out of it.

No Wave posted:It's a pretty disgusting combo with Cynthia but the counterplay is simple, I guess. Yeah the current uses is hitting your own Cantarella, which is okay. With Cynthia most of the times the strongest unit on your opponent hand is their spy so it's whatever. Also how many of these dudes do you actually run? Do you run all 3 and drop the old Spotter->Geralt combo, do you drop Mangonels or Fire Scorpions? Do you just add a Special Card so you can always have a 10 power bronze, and if so isn't the Knight already better? Your worst match ups are most likely going to be Skellige and Monsters both don't really have big units on their hand that they are willing to hold on and not just drop the moment you reveal, so eh? The card looks powerful and has good uses, and I think in the low ranks is going to bully around some people, but I'm not sure if it's the broken card everyone is creaming their pants about.

Megazver posted:I just checked and they're studiously avoiding putting any Toussaint-related cards into Nilfgaard or any other faction for that matter, right? Anna Henrietta is going to be the 4th leader of Nilfgaard, unless they changed plans, so they going to add the Toussaint roster together with her all in one go for lore friendliness and synergy reasons. But in the end all you going to play as NG is Spies, but now with Anna.

They also changed twitch drops: The requirement of 100 or more concurrent viewers for the stream to award GWENT Twitch Drops has now been removed. The chance to receive drops is the same across all channels that have enabled it, no matter how big or small. Twitch drops will not be active on Vodcasts. Not sure this makes any difference cause I got sweet gently caress all from their two streams this weekend. frajaq posted:did PTR really only last one day lol CDPR.

The boards do look better in the video and in motion. They're filled with shadow, lighting, particle, and fog effects, it's also clear that some boards are suppose to have a more *spooky* atmosphere or being set at night. The card art is quite clear and with just two rows the cards seem to be bigger so they easy to identity. Still the card borders need to retouched to distinguish them better. Thronebreaker looks nice too.

Nilfgaard has always been the bad guys in the witcher. Problem is that W3 had a bunch of content cut and a lot of it was in regards to the Nilfgaard invasion, so all the hosed up poo poo like slavery isn't in. CDPR also toned down a lot the Emperor for the game, whom in the books wants to have sex with his own daughter to create the ubermensch.

I think it's one of those things one might find hard to understand if your country doesn't have a long history of being constantly erased by and absorbed into different Empires throughout it's history.
