Cheats. Hero cards are unique for the player.
Also, that deck would be useless. Max strength would be 150, which is easily achievable using a few cards and Commander's Horn.

Basically, Hero cards can't be affected by any other cards. That gives them flat strength, but can't be boosted. They're practical for a base, but since they don't affect each other you lose out on potential booster cards. Highest strength I was able to accumulate was 250 in a single round, which easily trumps the maximum of 150 you get from 10 Geralts, which would have to be divided between two rounds.

poccylane (06/09/2015) [-] Oh I know what hero cards are. What I meant by that is that I have no idea what the MLG pro tactics are. Like a strategy to beat the master armorsmith bitch who just beats me to the ground her ******* vampires.
I don't even want to think about that Gwent tournament.

Monster cards are easy enough to beat with weather cards. Dump a Biting Frost on her and the 60+ strength in the front line can easily become <10. And of course, play unnamed shopkeepers first, especially in Velen and White Orchard, to win some basic cards. Playing against an opponent with a better deck is more often than not a waste of time.

poccylane (06/09/2015) [-] I once used 3 biting frosts in a single round with her and still lost. I don't know why, but I'm so unlucky with my initial draws.
And again, I know the insides and out of gwent. I would play every merchant I ran into until I got to Novigrad, which is when I felt really overwhelmed with the game and decided only do side quests, full exploration of the area except for Skellige, **** getting all the smuggler caches. , and story quests.

Correction, Mad Lugos gives you a Katakan Vampire card. The Gremist at Gedyneith, Aard Skellig has the Avalla'ch card.

comradewinter (06/09/2015) [-]
If your draws suck, you should stack up on spy cards. I know you can get Dijkstra from the Baron, so if you don't play him you can get it from his office after he Goes with Anna or kills himself . Thaler is from an innkeep in Skellige. You start out with Stennis. You can win Avalla'ch (Mysterious Elf, one of the best cards in the game) from Mad Lugos, although he has a pretty swell deck so not recommended trying to pry it from him if you can't beat the armorer.

whycanticaps (06/09/2015) [-] I was wondering where the mysterious elf was, I've beaten a ******** of people in novigrad (thank you commandos and dragon hunters), but where is the person who gives you the elf?

comradewinter (06/09/2015) [-]
I said the wrong thing earlier, you get Avalla'ch from the Gremist located at Gedyneith, Aard Skellig (main isle). You'll unlock his option if you work on the Gwent: Skellige Style quest and completing a quest he gives you.
#96 to #89
-
whycanticaps (06/09/2015) [-] ah that's why I don't have it, I'm putting skellige off as much as I can, I'm trying to complete as many side quests and stuff as I can in novigrad before doing anything else haha. There's so much stuff I'm afraid that if I don't do it itll have some negative impact on the main questline

I'm a lazy cunt and just Googled: "Quests in The Witcher 3 that affects storyline" or something like that. Then I just read the quest names, without checking the consequences as to not spoil anything, and cross referenced them with what quests I had. But yeah, not that much into the game that I'll complete all. If you're not afraid of having things spoiled, I can say that very few of the quests actually have an impact on the story, and the ending mostly depends on your actions with Ciri after you find her, not the prior quests to that.

poccylane (06/09/2015) [-] Yeah, I got all the spy cards asides from Avalla'ch, but even still I never managed to beat anyone after a certain point. So ******* frustrating.
Oh god that's ****** up knowing the Baron kills himself if you don't send him off with Anna. Hell that entire story arch was ****** up and emotional. Pisses me off that the one Crone escapes in the end.

Only people I've lost to with my current deck are the ones at the Gwent tournament, but that's down to poor luck and a couple of bad plays. If you don't have Avalla'ch you should get him, as every opponent will have a full spy deck and decoys.

Same, I lay off for now because there is currently no place to store gear, and I'm working on getting the Mastercrafted version of all Witcher Gear. They're gonna release a DLC in the not so distant future, and since everyone's bitching at CD Projekt to include it at some point, they'll probably have an option for it then.

poccylane (06/09/2015) [-] Oh god the lack of item storage pisses me off to the next degree. All of those wasted materials and unique weapons and armor gone to waste. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of weight the trophies add up to.
Speaking of DLC, I hope they do one that gives a bit more clearance on what happened with Ciri in the tower. It really isn't enough details to end on. Not to mention not having a scene where you have Ciri's "Final Boss", the navigator not counting. Geralt had his, why shouldn't Ciri get a proper send off when talking about her gameplay?

As for the DLC, I just want another whole sequence of Geralt, Lambert and Eskel throwing parties and doing stupid **** together. I know it's not exactly canon, but still.

poccylane (06/09/2015) [-] God damn that scene was great. It's really refreshing to see Geralt act like a normal human being instead of the emotionless, take no **** Witcher that he normally is.
That, or another quest where you travel through different dimensions, seeing all kinds of crazy **** . I just wish the place with the gas that kills you and the giant spires, that roaring in the background actually played a part.

The Witchers weak up with a great hangover, realizing that they somehow ended up in different dimensions. Now Geralt has to find them and return to his own world. Now that would be a great quest.

Play Northern Realm, get Dijkstra, Thaler, Avalla'ch (Mysterious Elf) and Prince Stennis. Then you make sure you have two catapults, 3 Commandos (some melee troops) and 3 Dwarven crossbowguys. Apart from that, you should use Clear Weather on Leader, have at least two Commander's Horns, some weather cards (Torrential is useless as most AI will favor melee or ranged), and some assorted hero cards. I'd also advice having at least two Decoy cards, so you can play their spies against them. Make sure the opponent always has a stronger card than you so you don't get ********** by Scorch. I sometimes use Weather cards against myself to make sure they're low constantly, then when the opponent passes I use Foltest and get superstronk.

comradewinter (06/09/2015) [-]
Yeah, they're mostly down to luck when you have relatively even cards. The best strategy is to let the opponent think they're winning, so if they are melee heavy you use ranged and siege weather cards to give yourself a disadvantage, then make a comeback once they pass. A well placed Scorch card can **** up an entire round.

thewinkster (06/09/2015) [-] I just finished the story, and got the good ending (I'm not about to spoil anything so don't worry), but the Witcher 3 surprised me in so many ways, and while I sat there wishing the game would keep going on forever, when the credits finally came I realized that my journey was over and one of the best games I had ever played came to an end. Few games have had such a satisfying closure like this one. I just want to say that if you haven't played the Witcher 3, then do yourself a favor and go get it. It is at least worth your time to try it out and see if it is your cup of tea, because it's honestly one of the best games of the decade.

There are a lot of returning characters, but through the story they convey past events and interactions through dialogue and actions. It works well, even without reading lore. That being said, I highly recommend you do so regardless! You gain an extra connection with the characters that way and it will make choices and events more meaningful then if you don't."

I tried looking it up before and got very mixed responses, so I just wanted to know your personal view on it. I want to get it because it is incredibly well loved right now, but to be frank I really don't want to invest in the other two right now. I suppose if I have to I could just read a summary of the plots first, but I figured I might as well ask.

Y'know i bought it, and im ready for a sea of red thumbs but, i thought it was, meh.
Like i can see how its a good game, and people love it, but i got no spark, i just didnt see the wow factor and the story didnt entice me that much but thats possibly cause i didnt play the first 2.
Ill go back to it someday, but for now its not what it was hyped to be, to me atleast.

poccylane (06/09/2015) [-] The Jarl, who is father, is being cursed by a demon that focuses on people who have done something that they greatly regret and feel horrible about, a Hyme I believe it was called. It was giving him nightmares and telling him to hut himself, like cutting a wrist, cutting of a toe, or gouging out an eye. However, the man believed that he was blessed by the gods, and thought that by doing so he was holding back their vengeful wrath, as he killed his brother over a dispute for the family sword. In order to get rid of the Hyme, one had to either kill it, essentially killing the one it was possessing as well, or trick it into haunting another person who THOUGHT they did something horrible, but didn't. So Geralt, you, watch as what's her name goes off to make a preparation for an idea she has to trick it and you have no idea what. She comes back with the Jarl's baby, and tells you to cook it in an oven right in front of the father. The deterrent of course is that your cooking a baby alive, so if you hand the baby back to him, you're dooming the Jarl to death. On the other hand, you throw the baby in, Geralt thinks he just murdered a baby, meaning he did something horrible, so the Hyme moves on to a new host. But what you don't see in the video, is the woman coming back out with the baby and I THINK the druid. Geralt realizes he's done nothing wrong, and the Hyme is forced to leave, freeing you and the Jarl.
I think I got all that right.

But Skyrim had a lot more going for it than graphics. Like everything. And it's been long enough that we have a helluva lot more processing power in consoles and the average computer to do more than during Skyrim's time. So anon could have been talking about a lot more than graphics, but your assumtion he was talking about graphics only betrays your own belief that A. Witcher 3 doesn't have as good of graphics as it should, or B. People don't think Witcher 3 has as good of graphics as it should (while, granted, people were a bit whiney about that before the game's release, the game is seen today as being about as impressive as the original trailer, so no reasonable person should be upset with the graphics of Witcher 3 - and you'd be silly to refer to the unreasonable people as a default)
I've had a bad day and overthinking stupid things on the internet distracts me

Maybe you're just stupid in general.
Witcher coming out 3 years later has ***************** nothing to do with content. If the two games came out as they did side by side, graphics ignored, witcher would still be better arguably it doesn't make sense at all that the fact that 3 years passed should somehow mean "the game isn't as good as it could have been" by saying "it's been 3 years, you'd hope it would be better." Time is absolutely irrelevant in terms of content and story. Only graphics
