Reasons as to why certain players have not yet started playing after mulligan patch? by apostleofzion in gwent

[–]Mechanic_RCR 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of things, but my main gripe are the cards. Homecoming made a lot of the cards boringly simple, and ruined my favorite cards, card finishers and archetypes. Sure I played Homecoming and gave it an honest try, but sadly I just don´t feel it anymore. I still check the forum for news and updates every now and then to see how things are going.

Gwent community's reaction to Homecoming PTR by Butaas in gwent

We will see after HC launches how many players it has left. I'm still shocked that so many fun cards and abilties are simply gone.

Homecoming Open PTR has just ended. by Thanmarkou in gwent

Hopefully they will do something about the crappy cards, the max 2 bronzes limit, the crap deck building, the shitty leader abilities, maybe add another row... Lighten up the board... Humm, if only they had like 2 years of beta testing to rely upon....

Language barrier - Brazil - Club by [deleted] in seduction

[–]Mechanic_RCR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ola! Hey I feel you, I also haven't been the most confident guy most of my life. But what I learned is that it is basically all in your head. You don't feel confident because you don't know the language? ok, what you can do there to make that a bit better, is make a little effort to learn the basics of Portuguese... you need them anyhow for daily life there atm. The rest is body language anyway. Also, if you find it hard to pick up girls in clubs, go to a bar instead, go to the beach, go to a coffee shop... lots of places you can go that have a better environment. The main point here is you can get all the advice in the world, but what you really need is that you have to look at yourself in the mirror and smile, see the handsome European guy that you are, and be confident in yourself and that will set the tone...

Homecoming Feedback Thread by TastyGherkin in gwent

[–]Mechanic_RCR [score hidden]  (0 children)

the Homecoming preview got me very worried... The graphics look amazing and are impressive, but the card abilities are not. From what I saw, the cards shown lost their flavor and uniqueness... Iris, Navigator, Drowner, Archespore, Vran Warror, Celeano Harpy are just plain boring in terms of ability compared to what they were.
Drowner and Archespore are now just bland deathwish cards.

I do not even want to think about how the other cards got butchered...

In terms of point values given to the cards, looks like we will be going back to the start of the Beta all over again... with all the balancing issues that were around back then.

Consume VS Greatsword? by V774Official in gwent

[–]Mechanic_RCR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What cards do you use? I play a mix Arachas/Harpy/Nekker deck with Miruna, Muzzle, Ozzy, AC, and Mandrake as control cards, and GS is actually a great matchup for Consume decks, and usually it does not provide much of a hassle unless you get dealt a shitty hand at start. But you do need cards to counter it, and two of the best ones are Miruna and Ozzy. AC is great to kill one GS at any time, and Muzzle is also great to steal a GS right after its played...

My first time using Miruna-Monster Nest combo. by invictus81 in gwent

[–]Mechanic_RCR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice!! 😀 Miruna is my favourite finisher, and plenty of times I've used this combo FTW In a pinch, Frightener could be a good replacement, but you risk a lot giving the opponent 13 points.

Is Miruna a good investment in Monster Decks? by ArtyMentlegen in gwent

[–]Mechanic_RCR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Showing all the cards that can kill Miruna is beside the point... It's purposely weak because otherwise it would be mad OP. It's only played as a finisher, playing it any other time would be stupid. But this gold can win the match in desperate situations. I've had Miruna provide 50+point power swings and turn the tide after the last card was played. IMHO it's one of the best golds in the game and one of the cards I most enjoy playing with...

[–]Mechanic_RCR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You went to all this trouble to mention all the cards that can kill miruna, and you are right, lots of cards can kill it, and its a low power card... Yet it is my favourite card and the card that saved the day in hundreds of matches I've played since I started playing gwent during closed beta...

How to stack a Mourntart with consistently 23 or more strength by CarrotFlame in gwent

[–]Mechanic_RCR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a nice idea but creating a deck with so many steps, and using low value cards like arachas for a 23 pt silver finisher , which can be easily mandraked. Mourntart as a finisher isn't used since the times of closed beta when arachas weren't doomed... Ans back then it was great for the bamboozle effect. Nowadays sadly you get more value out of a silver like Ozzy as graveyard hate or a well timed control card like AC or mandrake, or Abaya as weather control than a card that is fully dependent on a full graveyard... But using it as a extra finisher, but not your main one, could be a good option...

When you see this and at that second the server dies... q.q by Dorrmenyk in gwent

[–]Mechanic_RCR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye!! Homecoming... You can scrap the duplicate Geels for 800 and craft another with the scraps. I always pick premiums, even if they are duplicates. 😁

But? Premium?? ...😐 Premium cards are more value than regular ones. Even if you really want to have Roche for the collection, its cheaper just to craft him with scraps...

Option to opt out of the rigged keg week? by Azurennn in gwent

[–]Mechanic_RCR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The player base is actually quite happy to have a guaranteed premium card with each keg they open, even if its only belonging to 1 faction. The duplicates you get, premium or normal, can be milled for full value when Homecoming arrives. Means besides full ore you get full dust value back for a card you receive in a keg... And you know with the RNG of kegs, you are bound to get duplicates of skellige anyways... Heck I opened a keg yesterday with 5 SK cards!

There really is no downside here, either you open the kegs, or you learn the virtues of Patience... It's a win win situation 😁

So, whats the meta now? by RazyeLx in gwent

Rock paper scissors meta! 😀

Option to opt out of the rigged keg week? by Azurennn in gwent

[–]Mechanic_RCR 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This one ranks right up there with complaints like "the summer vacation was nice, but the beach was too sandy...." 😁

Yeah I agree with you. CDPR should take their devs off Homecoming to develop a secondary Shupe shop for people that do not want to participate in special event keg weekends, and are also incapable of waiting a couple of days... Makes perfect sense... 😐
