GWENT

The GWENT developers from CD Project Red presented all map changes in a live stream on Twitch last night and gave an outlook on the next features.

Ranking system

As an extension to the adjustments to the ranking list, there is now the feature that your MMR can no longer drop below 1000. MMR is the match-making ranking, i.e. a numerical value that places you in the ranking list and ensures that you meet opponents of roughly equal strength.

Refund System - Premium cards can be dismantled for the full amount of scrap and meteroite dust. There is a 3-day period for this after any nerfs on the cards.

Bug Fixes - The Dagon and Henselt challenges have been fixed. The problem with disloyal units on the consoles has also been fixed.

The detailed changes to many cards can be found below. The list was compiled by the Reddit Community on r / gwent. You can watch the VoD with the GWENT developers on their the official Twitch Channel.
