eliseus: That's why you feel so good getting kegs - you just need those cards. What would be the fun if you have what you need at the start? Everyone is on the same playing field, you won't play versus full decks with a starter deck. eliseus: Read up on the f2p whale theory. Now you're just asking them to not profit off the game. They won't be able to support the game or make new ones without profit.

If someone destroys their lives with games they need professional help, not developers refusing to take money.

satyricon10: Hello there,

can you please fix the game of its horrible bugs like Decoy not buffing cards or like Roach to come after Vigelfortz is being played.

Thank you

Siegor: Roach coming after Vilgefortz is not a bug. It was changed so you can't destroy Roach for his effect.

Klumpen0815: It's pay2win, what do you expect?

Dweight888: It is not pay to win at all. You can open multiple kegs every day and you have decent starter decks already from the beginning for free.

GOG.com: Time to make those cards sing.

CD PROJEKT RED just announced the start of Public Beta for <span class="bold">GWENT: The Witcher Card Game</span> for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
For those who still haven't felt its warm embrace, GWENT is an engrossing card game featuring creatures, characters, and lore from The Witcher series.

You can download <span class="bold">GWENT</span> from GOG.com and start playing immediately.
Moreover, since the game is powered by GOG Galaxy, those playing on PC will be able to do battle with their Xbox One and PS4 friends!

“Public Beta is an important step towards GWENT’s final release,” said Marcin Iwiński, co-founder of CD PROJEKT RED. “We’re opening the gates to everyone who wanted to play, but didn’t make it into the Closed Beta, and — at the same time — we’re introducing some pretty significant content and gameplay changes like adding animated versions of cards for every card in the game, new starter decks, or how weather cards work,” Iwiński adds. “I’m extra curious how all of the community feedback we’ve incorporated will resonate with both current players and those who’re just starting. Please keep the feedback coming, we’re listening!”

In addition to the cinematic trailer, CD PROJEKT RED has also released a gameplay video presenting GWENT’s features (you can watch them both below), and a set of faction videos covering the playstyles of each of the game’s five factions.

More information about GWENT and the Public Beta is available in the <span class="bold">FAQ</span> section of <span class="bold">playgwent.com</span>.

KoolZoid: As an aside, I've been playing on the PS4 just this past hour and for three matches I've been unable to process the 'End Results' section of the match. The matches played out just fine, but when it gets to Victory/Defeat screen, it won't advance my Rounds Won nor my Experience Earned.... it just sits there, spinning the little 'connecting' circle, until I was forced to quit the client. I wonder if there's an issue?

KoolZoid: Actually, everyone is *NOT* on the same playing field, and new players have to contend with players from the Closed Beta who have had upwards of a hundred barrels to start the Open Beta with. One of my first matches was against a level 3 player in Casual Multiplayer who had the Adept title from the previous Beta and fielded a full set of Animated Queensguards.

eliseus: You just need to play (or wait) a bit so matchmaking puts you where you are. If someone destroys everything they see they won't get matched with stock decks. So I think this problem won't be a problem in one week from now.

KoolZoid: That's *EXACTLY* the kind of situation I think is wrong, and precisely why there needs to be a collection reset at Official Launch without hordes of kegs being thrown out to all and sundry - so that, come Launch, all players start from the same starting line.
