Just got back into gwent after a 4 month absence, and it's still an amazing and annoying game. Made it to r3 so far with scoiatel madoc relicts. Loving the deck diversity throughout the week, the weekend warriors with their never-ending NG status decks, not so much.

i love gwent!!!! i love you!!!!!!!!

This is so good to see - I just came back after being away for 1.5-2 years and have been really enjoying it! I really miss watching competitive Gwent weekends though =(

I think it’s still awesome and my favourite game. Thanks for continuing to create content

Just have a word with CDPR for a surprise expansion :D

i also started playing again yesterday after about a year, was rank 18 myself. i suspected what you encountered in pro would happen so i have unaccepted the regulations ahead of time haha - about rank 5 currently not sure if ill stick with it but was fun getting this far

I miss a lot watching all the creators( you, Spyro , maruth, qcento specy ecc) than steal your decks and compete 😂

I just started playing this game last month, I have been no life grinding 10+ hours a day non-stop lol Def worth it for me

Gwent open beta before midwinter patch was peak cardgame experience. Game really was not anywhere close to the same level of complexity and fun post homecoming.

Dead game with no options to change any cars everywhere same decks. Honestly no way

Platinum Patrol, Qcento, Shinmiri, Dosen and Lerio have been my daily Gwent escapades

Witcher 4 loading that means Gwent loading too! 😎😎😎

Some of those highlight clips you shared here made me laugh out loud. 😂

second comment to say great video, I enjoyed your take and got me thinking a little more about jumping back in at least casually MAYBE!

if they can revert back to an old gwent before home coming update i will come back 100%

I really enjoy my time in gwent and i hope with the announcement of Witcher 4 some player return and maaybe it get a revive oficial patch, i will come back and see that last expansion that i miss ❤️

I had no idea about the cosmetics, wow T.T

I'll buy that jacket off ya ;)

HELL YEAHHHHHHHH

I’m coming back to Gwent for the first time in a few years. What a time to join huh? I’m familiar with the core mechanics therefore, but I have no idea about cards, decks or the meta whatsoever. I was hoping to find a channel to help as a guide, but it’s been tough to find people still engaged who don’t assume existing knowledge. It’s quite overwhelming to learn the game on your own from scratch at this stage in 2024. I saw your videos just yesterday from 2 years ago and wished you were still around. And bizarrely here’s a video today discussing the general state of the game. Glad to see you’re still enjoying Gwent. I agree with you, there is nothing quite like Gwent.

In regards to the balance council, the battle over Renfri free has been legendary there isn't a single balance counsel where that card isn't, buffed or nerfed. Personally, I would admit that I will never stop voting to nerf it until that card is 19 provisions and 1 point😂

I recently quit Gwent (sadly). The BC tribes with the most influence keep pushing a more and more dumbed down game of point slam and control. SK Raids, NG Renfri or soldier spam, MO fruits control, cheap thinners and tutors, etc. Try to nerf any of that and it gets reverted immediately. It’s turned the engine factions (SY and NR) into endangered species and made the whole game feel tedious, repetitive, and frustrating. I guess the remaining mostly low-skill player base wants to bring the game down to their level instead of learning to improve. Maybe that’s too cynical, but it feels that way. I think we’re closer than you think to the death spiral point of large numbers of players getting bored and leaving for good. Hope I’m wrong, we’ll see.

just got into gwent a couple weeks back for the first time, and found this channel. have been loving it all! thrilled to see this vid in my recommended!!

Your experience with meta net decks control in pro rank is similar to mine. I actually play in 2500-2550 and it is a lot of same decks. However, it is totally winnable if you can pilot your decks well. The experience is not entirely awful and there is more deck diversity before Balance Council.

Cheers fella!!

Hello Lion Heart

Another very good content creator is Qcento and Platinum Patrol lionheart see speci's comeback as well!👍

GWENT FAMILY 💚

I've been around the whole Gwentfinnity and leaving apart the frustration of some balance council results, I've to say I've been having fun. I do miss the support and I do miss some content creators that I enjoyed watching, you included. It would be great if you could, from time to time, give us some content. Lionhart's joy and positivity are much missed!

You have to play gwent

I have been playing SNAP for 2 years after GWENT official support finished and progressively have been feeling more and more miserable and frustrated. Fired up GWENT and remembered what a solid pretty, joyful and inteligent card game it is. I have to re-learn the meta but it is a nice adventure. I hope CDPR return to this game, it has so much more potential and people love it. Just bought the Ciri journey, will continue to support GWENT.

I think the excitement of getting new cards is an essential part of any tcg, even if it means power creep. The balance council can make great stuff (giving a chance for unplayed/barely played cards), but as you said it's mostly a nerf cycle. I personnaly left gwent about 7 months after gwenfinity started, and not that much because of the council but I actually felt bored playing against the same decks over and over (some nerfs also went after meme cards for whatever reason)

The more Gwent we play these days, the bigger the chances it will come back with Witcher 4. P.S. I source my copium at Shupe's shop.

I missed the community too bro, like you said early on here. I'm thankful that some like Shinmiri post Gwent on KZbin, and that Shin and Lerio started the English voting coalition where they make suggestions based on a community poll they post, meaning English folk have a say in what gets changed. It's meant that for me, I feel that the community aspect hasn't entirely disappeared. I've been okay with no new cards, because when you think about it, a card getting buffed to playable levels by the community can make it feel like a new card, if it was never played during the time CDPR made changes.

I’m bout to start playing this game and doesn’t knows anything any recommendations?

I quit playing gwent like 1 or 2 seasons before they started this player vote stuff. I thought about coming back several times but I didn’t have faith in the community to make the right or logical decisions as the games balance and everyone and their mom using the same meta deck per faction is why I quit and it seems player voting hasn’t fixed any of it and now it’s players causes messes instead of the devs. I also don’t like how they gate some people from voting, that’s pretty garbage honestly. Everyone should be able to get 50 wins but the ones who can’t are forever left in the shadows and stuck feeling like they can’t help make the change for it to be better and I don’t like that. Also with how toxic the Reddit community was I wouldn’t be surprised if there are groups of toxic people that get groups of people for swing votes to push toxic play styles etc. So I think I’ma continue staying away from this game.

With being able to copy decks it’s not that hard to get to pro tank as long as you know how to play said decks.

how to win r1 on blue coin with this deck? the setup with heist and bri often makes my opponents out tempo me and making me lose on even and after that they just bleed out the simlass making me effectively useless for r3

Very long but sooo helpful guide for me as a begginer. I am so sorry to find out that other factions were not covered 😭
