The game is entirely different after the beta ended. Its like an entirely new game. My opinion was to make the new game as the main ranked play mode. but also leave the old game with the old mechanics during beta as legacy mode. The beta was so long many people loved that game. Release game: -pros: 1) New overhauled graphics & models for leaders. 2) Nice rewards system for new players to catch-up with the cards. 3) New golden barrels with guaranteed Legendary. Also faction kegs(card barrels) are nice. 4) Beta testers got all materials equivalent for their old cards during beta. 5) If you loved the witcher for its characters and design you will love this game. -cons: 1) Removal of siege row. 2) cards are weaker, less damage per turn & overall weaker combos. 3) Fun mechanics during beta were entirely scrapped. 4) Legendary cards now are weaker with no special mechanics like during beta. Leader abilities are laughably weak unlike during Beta. I hope CD Proj. Red add the old game that was during the beta as a side mode for fun. Also buy the story player modes if you like the game you will get some nice kegs and some frames and other cosmetics.
