    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.

      That's great to hear!
      I'm really sad that Gwent support was ended so close to Witcher 4. It feels like such a missed opportunity but it'll always be here and fun for us!
      Enjoy Ciri's Journey! The story brought a tear to my eye when I first read it!

    The more Gwent we play these days, the bigger the chances it will come back with Witcher 4.

    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!

    I missed the community too bro, like you said early on here.
    I'm thankful that some like Shinmiri post Gwent on UA-cam, 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.

    Glad to see you back. I’ve been itching to get back to Gwent for a couple weeks with all the Witcher announcements happening like W4, the new book by Sapkowski, new comics, physical Gwent etc.
    How crazy would it be if in Witcher 4 they had some sort of built in multiplayer lobbies to play against other players?

    I think the best gwent can do is a symbiotic relationship with other card games, like someone that play yugioh-pokemon-Magic could try gwent as a new experience. I think that is the only way to revive the game, we need to make friends with the other communities. You know what put Marvel Snap too, lets go connect with everyone.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    • @LionHartCards
      @LionHartCards  9 днів тому

      I couldn't disagree more personally.
      Did you come back and play after homecoming or did it make you leave out of curiosity?
      Pre homecoming Gwent was basic, rigid and narrow in complexity compared with Gwent later on. Just on the basis of card pool, available mechanics and deck diversity beta Gwent doesn't hold a candle to what they left us.
      At launch, homecoming was definitely a boring, soulless shambles but they absolutely repaired that and surpassed everything that came before in the last few years of support.
      The work they put in to the game in that last 12 months was better than the 5 before combined in my view and I really wish they got to keep building. 😢 Wasn't to be.

    • @konosmgr
      @konosmgr 9 днів тому

      @LionHartCards yeah I reached multiple top ladder months post hc. I was for 3-4 weeks top 1 in the eu ladder in December right before the midwinter patch, I really loved gwent but the decks during that time like monster nekkers and especially ng spies could not be replicated after hc. I think ng spies in open beta was probably the most complex deck in Gwent. Also other meme decks like swims' fringila were fun af.

    I quit when they announced Gwenfinity. I'm playing Marvel Snap now, but I'm not really a big fan of the Marvel universe. The game itself is okay to play a few quick games, but it's not more than that. And it's frustrating because it's becoming more and more pay 2 play. So I'm getting tired of that. I'm looking to get back into Gwent now, it's the only game like this I really enjoyed playing and watching on stream. Have to learn the meta and the mechanics again, but I'm ready to dive into it.

    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.

    • @LionHartCards
      @LionHartCards  10 днів тому

      If you only just quit after plaing for 12 months with Gwentfinity I can understand why you'd feel that way! I wager a large chunk of people left when I did or before and will find a lot of fun still, certainly in the initial few hours.
      My thoughts on the balance council don't fall far from yours overall haha
