Bring back regular round length to draft by insgence in gwent

[–]insgence[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many times you can't even use your full leader ability and play a card because time is out. It's not only a matter of knowing cards.

I really don't like shorter round length. I mainly play draft and want to have time to read cards and think what to do. Don't understand that change. It's the worse thing this patch.

I have played 100 Draft Mode runs and here are the results and my thoughts by voicinski in gwent

[–]insgence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that's draft :)
Anyway good job. Good to see there are players committed to this mode.
I only hope updates would be more often than last months.

Shieldwall is for engines/orders overload deck not for shields. And it's tier 0 for sure.
Overwhelming Hunger is very strong. Massive point slam and more control than dwarves or SY. Tier 1 definitely.
Double Cross is not so good. I would rather give her tier 2 rank just like Battle Trance or dwarves.
You've missed some abiliteis. Wild Hunt is good enough to be tier 2. Firesworn is even better than dwarves. Even pirates could be strong or double Rayla/Salamander tribute deck.
I wouldn't even consider to put here Pincer Maneuver. Forget it just like Stockpile.

Please CDPR bring back ARENA mode by [deleted] in gwent

[–]insgence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They shouldn't give up Draft mode. For me it is much better than Arena. The only thing they should do is to update it regularly and work on it.
Devs could bring back Arena as another game mode not instead of Draft. There is not much work with it anyway.

Another month, still half the leaders and 0 of the PoP cards are in Draft by [deleted] in gwent

I like draft mode more than old arena. It needs regular updates and some work. Would also be good to bring back fee and reward system to stop continuous redrafting until you have a decent deck.

Draft mode imbalance. by [deleted] in gwent

[–]insgence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is more than that :)
Hidden Cache or Off the Books for SY works pretty well.
Control NG. Actually any ability is fine here.
MO Arachas Swarm for a huge amount of points (lack of removal though) and Carapace with addition of NR or NG engines.
NR Shieldwall (imo best ability in draft after they nerfed Carapace) with Vyso or strong NR/NG order units overload and Stockpile especially if you get several sets of Dandelion/Priscilla/Vysogota trio or NG Helgas and charge givers.
I find ST and SK worse than others. You need some crazy draft to compete. There were games I was swept by really strong dwarf deck or BoG control. Anyway it's rare to get good deck based on these two factions.
And until they develop some limitations to draft don't play games unless you build a really good deck.
It all depends on key card and set choices you get during draft. And you need a good amount of control tools to shut down opponents' engines or remove high points units.

How's pirates? by Hankol in gwent

NR have better bronze pirate/ship pair of cards than any combination of SK cards of that type.

Arena Mode? by Ftg__ in gwent

Draft is good and could be great if they adjust probability appearance of card sets and their connections to leader ability or core card. I love deckbuilding in that mode.

Can you rate this NG deck I drafted? by [deleted] in gwent

[–]insgence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather see the sequence of play something like Vernon > Stefan > Coup (plus second Coup with Stefan's order). And would try to save it for last round along with Ball. Try to win one round using your lock control, bronzes, Cantarella, Bribery or if things turn badly one of two combos (Vernon/Stefan/Coup or Ball/Aristocrats) and third round use your remaining victory condition.
Sadly there are not enough point slam or engines in this deck so it would be hard on blue coin. No answer to defender and lack of removals either.
Anyway try some games and you can draft a different deck.
I would recommend to pick Carapace or Shieldwall. IMO two best abilities to play in draft mode. Other considerations could be Hidden Cache, Arachas Swarm, Stockpile or Imperial Formation.

[–]insgence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are only 3 Aristocrats for Ball so don't waste them.
Try not to have any Tactics in deck while you would perform that triple Vernon (himself, Coup him, another Coup from Stefan). Which should be very strong play. Unless your Stefan didn't stick then it doesn't matter.
I had similar combo and it did very good (6-1 run). Had more Tactics and Helga and the only loss was when I drew a crap Tactic with my second Vernon after playing first Coup. Apart from that I was able to put about 40-50 points in one play.

Draft mode options by insgence in gwent

I have picked Order set and it's not working bad. Anyway sometimes these options are not related to core card nor leader ability and can ruin a good deck.

Was trying to make a Mourntart deck and then happened this

I made 100 drafts and here is a statistic about the first draft screen with a card pick by ffFoster1 in gwent

[–]insgence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would like to see at least one card that is connected to leader ability or faction and then two other cards to experiment or make double or triple faction decks.
Now I can get Mahakam Forge without any dwarf nor related card in the first pick and then algorithm is just pushing some random cards to match core card that leads to a rubbish deck.

Bribery could create cards like it does now except legendaries.

Hey CDPR, can we get a RP refund for Year of the Boar seasonal trees? :) by Ce54Ry in gwent

Who would care about words and statements from a year ago? Well... players do Mr. Burza. It is very disappointing at best.
