I am excited about this game Posted: 20 Oct 2020 01:05 PM PDT I managed to get into the dota 2 beta very early on, and I remember its process of going from beta to full release. If that is anything to go by, I believe there is a lot to look forward to with regards to Artifact - Beta keys! It was really great in the dota 2 beta days where players who had access to the beta occasionally received beta keys they could give to their friends. I really want to play Artifact with my brother and can't wait till we get to the stage where we receive beta keys that we can give to people
- New hero releases/teases! The dota 2 beta began with only part of the hero pool from dota 1, and slowly ported heroes over weekly or bi-weekly (I don't remember exactly). Every hero release came with its own blog post and typically contained a teaser for the next hero that was going to arrive. Artifact may not commit to every hero being ported over, but the idea of new releases/expansions is still super exciting
- Updates to animations and art! There are so many abilities in the game right now that really resemble their dota 2 counterparts like Ravage/Chain Frost/Echo Slam. I find that really immersive - its going to be great when every ability looks and sounds like it does in dota (I'm particularly looking forward to Lina's cards getting animations).
- Similar to the previous point, but cosmetics! Think getting arcana level skins for cards and getting different effects on signature/active abilities (imagine if they do it for Rubick the way they have it in dota - every spell stolen by spell steal gets a green tint that'll be amazing)
I know there are many doomsayers here who will berate me for being 'naive' and they'll insist the game is dead and will never get to the point I'm envisioning - but I'm excited for this game. I think it is in a good spot right now both strategy and fun wise (in my mind its like a mix of chess and magic the gathering with a dota theme/feel). I know it will be a long time before we get to a complete game with the above points, but I'm still playing it almost everyday and looking forward to the updates. submitted by /u/galactical_lmao [link] [comments] |
