Artifact: A Launch – The Story of Valve’s Dig … |عرب اورج

the game is very well designed in general… but nothing works as they probably intended specifically
everything in it just seems off and weird. not to mention the absolutely unnecessary randomness

Artifact 2 is confirmed to be coming be Gabe Newell himself

I wanted to play the game, i waited to see the gameplay and i was hyped instantly, watched some videos, started to wonder what i was going to play in the game…
…and then i saw the price and i was "FUCK THIS!"

Fucking trash game

F

You didn't mention that the Main reason of Artifact fail is that This game is not Half-Life 3.

Simply explained. Only Dota players would play a Card game based on Dota 2. There already is a big ass Blizzard hard game that is Free. Dota card game came out with a Prize Tag while Dota 2 is a free game…. I mean jeez when you try to compete against a successive title with a potentially smaller player base that would rather just play Dota 2 Valve just had to put a prize on it… I played Dota for 13 years now, why on earth would I play a Dota based Card game?
This is an other example of the difference in mentality between different type of players. A standard blizzard player will buy all blizzard games. A Dota 2 player is a competitive player of Dota 2, he is more likely to just you know play more Dota 2 then buy a card game that is not even a MOBA game, as the one that he loves to play. A typical example of a seller not understanding his buyers. You can't make an FPS player buy a Strategy turn game based on CS:GO either. Even if some die hard fans both Artifact this game is for the Card player gamer. Not the MOBA Dota 2 gamers.

there are only 81 people playing now, the game is dead.

i was never excited about it.

Just make it F2P like Hearthstone, Magic Arena and every other card game and people will play it, i guarantee it. No price to get the game client, no price to get matches, no direct cards being selled, just the usual "buy packs to get cards" with ingame currency and free stuff being given from time to time. I'm one that always wanted to play it, the complexity is something that actually attracts me on this game, but Artifact's monetization system was the deal break for me.

Player count is now down to 67 people…

I still think this game was really fun

The main mechanics and complexity of the game should change equal as the player grows more mature

the game is terrible, it is not good. I don't know why people are hyping it at the start..I told a lot of people that it won't do well.
here is 5 reasons why
– Some heroes are just straight up out powering other heroes.( heroes like axe is just too strong )
– very limited card pool ( you see the same cards being played over and over again )
– 4 colors ( Having only 4 colors from all the options to choose from limit your options that already has limited options to begin with )
– It feels like a RNG fest board game instead of a card game ( 1 game can take 40 – an hour which isn't good )
– The game itself is not complex but it pretends to be complex ( it is not a complex game, but it pretend to be a complex game by making it 3 sided board. It is not a complex game because everything relies on RNG placement )

i cant believe that all these industries icons actually work on something that comes out horribly.
so what makes MTGA successful ?
– The game is actually much more balanced than artifacts ( there are meta decks but on mtga there is no such thing as a must have in a deck, in artifacts..having axe in a red deck is almost a must have )
– the game have a very healthy amount of playable cards even during release
– 5 colors… 5 colors of options ( having 5 colors gives you more flexibility to build your deck )
– its less rng reliant ( sure drawing the cards and mulligan is very rng, but at least you see the rng coming physically instead of digitally compose rng such as units placement ) and best of all is that it does not last for an hour.
– Its a very complex game ( you got aggro, mid range, control, mill, discards, burn, planeswalker, swarm, graveyard control and etc )

i think one of the major things that kind of kicked artifact in was the fact that MTG arena's ppen came out and with a much friendlier free to play model.

You decided to talk about Artifact when there is Auto Chess

Words cannot describe how happy it makes me to see this piece of shit cashcow trend chaser fail. Maybe now valve will actually listen

Valve sucks, they only copy cat games

Artifact is dead. One of the most disappointing launches in history. Their greed and suicidal monetization model killed the game.

"Many were expecting a smash hit."
LOL

And then there's Dota Auto Chess.
