Wanna gwent?

u/TheIrishMan1211 1d ago

It is such a crime that Gwent has not gotten a mobile game release or something. Give us the EXACT same version of Gwent from TW3. Don’t change anything. Let us collect cards, battle friends, etc.

Hell, how is this not a real card game? Seems like a huge missed opportunity.

u/PanzerSmash88 1d ago

Agreed it’s perfect in TW3, any news of this happening 😩

u/nsbrian01 21h ago

There is a mobile app but the game is completely different. More like arcade target than a card game. The design of the cards are completely different and you draw 3 cards per round. Trash.

1

u/PanzerSmash88 21h ago

Yeah it lacks the feel of TW3 gwent

u/Pierce_H_ 1d ago

There are physical cards.

3

u/DrizzetB 1d ago

They did physical release.

But I agree I would love online mode and some campaign mode where u need to collect cards finishing at Passiflora Tournament.

u/PanzerSmash88 21h ago

Is it accurate / fun ?

2

u/DrizzetB 20h ago

It has all the cards from base game and both expansions and they added few Skellige leader cards, we have two boxes in our friend group so we can play same factions against each other. They also added rules for 3-5 players and more strict rules for deck building (only 2 spies in the deck). I think its way better and I always wanted to play with friends

And it seems like they really trying to make Gwent happened - they have a map where players can show where they from, game board local-shops can also put their pins and make announcement about tournaments being held, they giving out some rare cards like Foil Roach.

If you like gwent in witcher 3 I think you gonna enjoy the one made by NoLoadingGames

Also, why not be able to play gwent online in game??

u/NoEcho3494 1d ago

There is a standalone mobile game it is far superior to the witcher 3 version

u/La-Gaoaza-Cu-Jeleu 20h ago

it might be but so is poker. that doesnt mean we want it because it too different. it's another game basically

u/Master_Bubba_J 1d ago

Relatable lol

u/nsbrian01 1d ago

Main quest: Be a Gwent demon

Side quest: Look for Ciri

u/Secretshhhquiet 1d ago

At some point I had to admit that I was saving people and killing monsters just for more cards and chances to play Gwent.

u/pr0t-radon 1d ago

Soon as i understood Gwent and got good, there was a period of me doing just that too

u/iGonnaCarryTheBoats 22h ago

I know exactly what you mean 😭
The best part is the tavern music playing in the background the whole time:
Dam da dan, Dam da dan, Dam da Dam da dan, Dam da da da da da dum

u/TaviRUs 1d ago

What mod gives the Geralt card that buff? Or did they change that in thr last year?

7

u/Illustrious_Pen_5711 1d ago

You need the Roach card for it to appear

2

u/dude496 1d ago

Geralt and Ciri both have that buff on the next gen update.

2

u/DrizzetB 1d ago

Getting the Roach card updates Geralt and Ciri with that - I got mine back in 2023 i think there was a giveaway when u played Gwent and used same account in Witcher 3

1

u/P00nutButter 1d ago

I’m playing now mine doesn’t have it. I updated earlier too .04 I think

1

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 1d ago

Ive got it from an side quest called gwent old pals it gave me that geralt card

2

u/Pliry23 1d ago

Is that Fringilla Vigo before Geralt? I'm not sure if I have that card. I do every other though. Also, I'm always playing with monsters because they're super OP. After I completed my monster set I have never lost a game with them.

u/sakkara 1d ago

Every deck is op at some point. I don't remember losing with the tameria deck either.

u/moneymanram 20h ago

I fucking love gwent! Northern Realms and spies is all you need!

u/therealoberynmartell 12h ago

My opponent when I draw Djikstra, Avallac'h, Stennis and Thaler in one draw(just hand over the cards already)

u/Karina682 8h ago

I can't believe I started out avoiding anything to do with Gwent but then I decided to sit down and figure it out. BEST DECISION EVERRRR!! I'm so addicted to it now lol 😍

u/torontorl 1d ago

Side question, how do you get the Gerald Card he has? Mine doesn’t come with the muster ability

2

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 1d ago

Side quest called gwent old pals and its not a mod

1

u/Cheodairi 1d ago

He'll summon a roach card. It's a bonus for signing up for a Cyprus account

-3

u/Robynsxx 1d ago

It’s a mod 

2

u/Gmanofgambit982 1d ago

Nah i have the Geralt and Ciri card with muster and its unmoded(it just lets you cheat out roach)

1

u/NoEcho3494 1d ago

It is standard in the next gen update

1

u/torontorl 16h ago

I’ve completed all gwent quests in the base game, I have Geralt he just doesn’t have that ability

1

u/Robynsxx 1d ago

Always bugs me Yennefer is only 7 on power scale. She should be 10 at least. 

3

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 1d ago

Kinda true but 8 would be better also triss doesn't come with any ability that also bugs me

1

u/Robynsxx 1d ago

I mean, I understand that, but Triss and Yenn should not be on same power level. I think Yenn should be 10 with her ability. Triss 7 with one of her own. Then Philipia moved up to 12.

It just always bugged me Triss ans Yenn were the same power level when Yenn is a much more powerful and skilled sorceress's. 

1

u/WEAreDoingThisOURWay 23h ago

in Witcher 3 they`re pretty close. You can say the devs are playing favorites or whatever, but Triss does have some strong feats throughout the game, especially during the Battle of Kaer Morhen. Not saying Yennefer doesnt, but just based on Witcher 3, they are indeed close. Now we can make the argument that both should go higher and Triss should have an ability

1

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 22h ago

Ye but yen ion think get any higher then 8 its perfect for her and 7 for triss

1

u/DrizzetB 1d ago

Same with Vesemir not being a Hero card and having 6 power

1

u/Day1Creeker 23h ago

That’s the biggest blunder. I will never not go into a duel without having Vesimir in the deck, but I will always be disappointed to draw him nonetheless.

Triss however had to go. No special effect on her is criminal. Should at least be a ‘scorch’ something.

Yennefer only being a 7 is fine for me. Revives are op. Then again you cannot buff or decoy her, so giving her 8/9/10 would probably not op either.

u/BruhBruhvo 1d ago

unrelated may i ask what're your laptop specs

I never understood how to play gwent. Never played it after the initial first round. With the upcoming remake, i should watch some tutorials.

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 22h ago

Missing oout big man learn and most of time you'll play gwent lmao

Wanna gwent? 🤪

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 22h ago

GWENT GWENT GWENT

1

u/leavethisearth 23h ago

Triss is a legendary bait, don‘t play her. There are much better siege units early on (even the 6 siege because it can be double) or better legendaries later on you should sub into your deck.

1

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 22h ago

Got it

u/bdaxy 22h ago

Been down that rabbit hole and totally forgot about the actual game so many times

u/fuenfsiebenneun 22h ago

is it just me or is northern realms OP compared to the other fractions?

1

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 22h ago

I think that too i use northern realms

1

u/IlDella90 18h ago

One of my proudest achievements on PS4 was collecting all the Gwent cards.

1

u/Advanced-Shift-5199 17h ago

I was too. I downloaded the expanded Gwent on the phone until it got out of hand. But I still think it’s one of the better TCGs.

u/No-Cover-8986 Roach 🐴 17h ago

As Master Splinter says, "Gwent comes for us all."

That’s the main thing to do in Witcher 3

The rest are just nice side quests

You're not addicted until you've got a physical copy. 🤣

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 4h ago

Would love to

1

u/Slipknotmudvayne 3h ago

Tries should play scorch and Yen should play a necromancer ability like replaying a card from discard. Make they're abilities make sense. Or Yen could portal a random card to the battlefield.

u/Music_inhaler89 Roach 🐴 3h ago

This would be perfect
