Ready the questions! Feel free to ask anything (no matter how seemingly moronic).

When the first hit strikes wtih desolator, the hit stirkes as if the - armor debuff had already been placed?

There's no desolator in this game yet.

The release and current state of artifact is not just pathetic, but actively worse than if the game was simply unplayable for the usual reasons (bugs, lack of polish, etc). Remember how valve/steam treated The War Z game in 2012?

The War Z (2012) The War Z, an open world multiplayer survival horror game, was publicly released as a "foundation release" in December 2012. The game received negative reception from various publications for its poor gameplay experience, and for its use of microtransactions for purchasing items and reviving characters without waiting four hours, despite the game not being a freemium "free-to-play" game. GameSpy gave The War Z a half-star out of five and considered it "a bad game that deserves all the controversy it's drawn", criticizing the broken state of the game and its use of microtransactions, but complimenting its overall atmosphere and far draw distance.[278] IGN gave the game a 3.0 out of 10, citing that "the high spawn rate of weapons, as well as fear of hackers, makes the majority of player interaction in The War Z overly punishing and one-dimensional", and further criticized its missing features, the ability to lose purchased items, and its lack of a balance between ranged and melee weaponry.[279]

Its developer, Hammerpoint Interactive, was also accused of false advertising by players; since the game's promotional material on Steam at the time highlighted certain features that were not yet present in the game, such as multiple large game worlds varying in size (only one was available), a skill point based leveling system (which was not yet implemented), servers supporting up to 100 players (that were actually capped at 50), and private servers. Despite this information being corrected to consider them "upcoming" features, the flood of criticism prompted Valve to pull the game from sale on Steam and offer refunds, stating that the game was accidentally made available for purchase prematurely.

Broken promises, missing features (hello $1 million tournament??), same complaints got WAR Z pulled and everyone refunded. Why should Valve use different metric when measuring their own game? Even if they do a substantial re-release of the game, that will only prove how absolute shit the original iteration was, and how miserably they misled both the players and themselves. Fuck you valve, give us back our money.

How about what happened to The Culling 2

The game received a 2/10 on IGN,[436] along with an overwhelming amount of dislikes on Steam.[437] Steam peak player counts for the game on its first day were around 250 players, and within 40 hours the game dropped to a single player.[438] After a week in stores, Xaviant decided to remove The Culling 2 from storefronts, shut down its servers, and give refunds to those who purchased the game, and instead opted to improve work upon the original game.[439][440]

What's a bigger drop, from 250->1, or 61k-250? When/If artifact gets to one player, will they pull it then? Arti-go fuck yourself valve, give us back our money.

At this point, I get it, the ~$200 i sunk into this dumpster fire of a game is gone, and it probably won't ever be playable. But fuck you Valve for cashing in on your previously good reputation for this shit can, and know that because you didn't fully own up to your mistakes and have FOR ALMOST HALF A YEAR said nothing of substance to your players (particularly the poor pathetic souls who still spend time watching and waiting for 'good news'), you've joined the horde of mediocre to terrible developers who think their shit doesn't stink. Yours does valve, now go fuck it back up your ass and give me back my money

I'm posting this rant as recommended by my psychologist, that I may move behind this horrendous breech of trust and attain forgiveness. Thank you for reading, I feel much better, and GO FUCK YOURSELF VALVE

B3H Tournament Schedule 2019

Posted: 07 May 2019 11:01 AM PDT

Hello /r/Artifact. After a one month break, the B3H tournament schedule for the remainder of 2019 is here.

We have been consistent in hosting tournaments for Artifact since the beta in 2018, and will continue to host tournaments for the remainder of 2019 and beyond. The last tournament we had was on March 31, 2019 and with the first quarter of every year usually being my busiest of the year, I needed about a month long break. So here we are. Also, the B3H Artifact League still exists, but has been going through a longhaul overhaul. Additional information on this soon^{^TM.} Insert plug for my Twitter and the official B3H website (soon to be updated).

Tournament links will be posted one hour prior to start in the B3H Discord Server. All tournaments are free to enter, and all tournaments will have a prize pool. Prize pool amounts will be announced the day of the tournament. Format variations may occur and will also be announced the day of each tournament.
