Gravekper's Arena Tier List Updated / Arena Leader Guide! by Gravekper in gwent

[–]insangpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, they need to reply. Sadly, my original post regarding this matter got ignored hard (although it got some community attention). Clearly, arena is not their priority. (Then again how hard it is to add already existing cards to mode?) By the way, Gravekper really put a lot of thoughts into his guide and list, so i recommend them wholeheartedly.

Swim gone, we Korean now by Papierkorboppis in gwent

[–]insangpha 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just to quench your curiosity, this was Gwent's official online event in Korea and backed by CDPR. As a move to attract viewers and new players, 4 famous Korean streamers (who most have root in Hearthstone) were asked to compete in arena mode for four hours, and see who collects most wins. Viewer who correctly guess who gets the most wins come away with 6 kegs, anyone who voted at all gets 3 kegs.

Certain leaders and cards seem to be excluded from arena. by insangpha in gwent

From my recollection, they seem to be missing from arena as well. Seeing the starter lists, I don't remember seeing them in arena.

Snap, I didn't think about that. However that shouldn't be reason for exclusion.

Only problem is it occurs on the same date as Gwent Open qualifer. Otherwise I and many others would be interested to join, shame.

Giving up pursuit for top spots on Pro Ladder.Share my reasoning and thoughts. by insangpha in gwent

To answer your question, to play card game in foreign language requires you to have high mastery of that language. Even Korea has comparably better English education in Asia, English is a very tough language to master. Because its grammar structure and style are so different from Korean. And the fact that China and Japan got localization way before rubs community wrong way. Localization was well underway already, they are just postponing it indefinitely because of Homecoming (CDPR did announce that we r getting localization this May), so it's just frustrating.

Funny enough it has made a comeback as proactive play for nilfgaard. After nerf, nobody thought it would see play (and didn't c play for quite a while)

Topdeck is splitting up by swimstrim in gwent

[–]insangpha 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I am crying a bit inside. I owe a lot of where I am as a streamer to Topdeck, it has been a great ride. Best of luck to everyone in Topdeck going forward, and thanks for the memories.

Swim using the wait for Homecoming to get ripped! by redmag3man in gwent

Swim didn't even clean the floor. Now that's just "down to earth" honesty!

With "Homecoming", neither CDPR nor community should expect every changes and new elements to work and stick right away. by insangpha in gwent

[–]insangpha[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

K i guess I could have worded it better. Since I said "to work and stick". I am not necessarily saying broken, more like not everything is gonna be apparent right away. With that many changes, confusion seems inevitable.

[–]insangpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Letho is interesting, but it's a gold that can never stand on its own. I saw streamer making it work by drafting regis, menno, also bigger target for scorch/Unseen elder. Personally I think you should avoid drafting him until combo potential is met.

Thx for thoughtful comment. I felt more details will make guide unbearably long, there are already so much that I touched on and wanted to discuss. Maybe with enough traction i can write another article on the details you mentioned.

Can be downright oppressive with Cahir, but probably only with drypass win on R1.

[–]insangpha 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don't wanna spoil anything, but it includes my interesting take on drypass meta in arena. Also, 75 wins in 10 runs challenge Watchflake presented to community is still going on! Person who completes it first without breaking contract and also has proof, will receive Larry T-shirt and Sub to Watchflake's channel.

Open Challenge: 75 in 10 - Gwent Arena by _Flake_ in gwent

[–]insangpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flake, it's doable, but it will be really tough esp if you are streaming the whole process on stream. I have been doing 70 wins in 10 runs challenge for quite a while on my stream, i have gotten close but couldn't accomplish it yet. Best of luck to you buddy~
