The patch, also known as weather balancing, about which we reported yesterday, was uploaded to the live server today by the GWENT programmers.
As announced, a lot of cards are being changed and these cards can now be ground for full value for 3 days. Special attention has been paid to the weather maps and many of the effects that revolve around them have been adjusted.
“GWENT cards that have been given a significant change can be ground up to three days after the hotfix has been published at special conditions. If the cards from the following list are ground, they discard the yield of scraps and meteorite dust that corresponds to the amount of scraps and meteorite dust required to produce a card of the same value "
