@matthewfoulkes @BelvedereDota Gauntlet matching isn't trying to create 50/50 win rates. It simply rejects wild mis-matches. The most highly skilled players won't match against the weakest players, but everyone should notice they win more as they improve their skills.@PlayArtifact @BelvedereDota while we are addressing problems, having mmr affect matchmaking in paid play with mone… https://t.co/0Ggj78VsEk

We begin to explore the world of Artifact through a new comic, Prelude. Also: patch notes! https://t.co/ZUJzoGHRts
@reichman_j Yup! In fact, we'll continue the story on Wednesday.@PlayArtifact Hey, really cool way to tell stories,I just read the thing! Are you planning on doing more of these comics in the future?
We are aiming to release Artifact between 1 PM and 2 PM PST on Wednesday. Steam store updated to reflect that time window.
Enabling the market today for commons/uncommons, to get testing on the in-game market UI. Rares will be off market until launch, as short term supply/demand imbalance might cause short term high equilibrium prices. No reason to kick things off with an artificial bubble.
Purchase Artifact and you'll receive a token in #Dota2 redeemable for a free month of Dota Plus (https://t.co/WVTR4djTBz). Everyone gets this, it isn't a pre-order bonus.
@_Joshan You didn't miss out.@PlayArtifact I purchased it as a gift an hour and 15 mins ago... Did I just miss out?
A solid and concise guide for beginners on the basic concepts of Artifact. https://t.co/fM40Vp2j0m
Here's a guide for new players -- with @Naiman_HS -- and in Russian. https://t.co/IiRSyLmnkZ
@Otakness @wykrhm Yeah. It's an (non-transferable) item you consume to get the extra month.@PlayArtifact @wykrhm I have one question. If I have a year of Dota Plus subscription, will it be extended for another month?
The market is now live for commons and uncommons!
@shatterfront Hang on, we forgot to turn on of the knobs...@PlayArtifact No it isn't https://t.co/IDkqmNCgr9
Ok, ok, ok, we got that problem sorted out. The market is now actually factually live for commons and uncommons.
We has a trailer. https://t.co/g6Whp4wxoG

Some discussion of the social and tournament features in Artifact. Did you know there's no time limit on a tournament? You can set one up and run it like a league, where you advance the series every few days and everyone plays matches at their own pace.

@ajpotato214 @DOTA2 Every game of Dota is the last battle at the end of time. Games of Artifact are recreations of historical events — out of which come insights into preventing or overcoming that last battle.So according to @dota2 lore, every game of Dota is really a bunch of guys playing @PlayArtifact to try and alter hi… https://t.co/ogRjjPQnxp

The finals of the @WePlayEsport Mighty Triad: Strength tournament are airing now on SteamTV! @Hyped_Af vs @Hoej_Hs for $10,000! https://steam.tv//artifact
Update coming this week. One feature is chat. Possess your cards and make them speak, send custom messages, or invite your opponent to a traditional Steam Chat. Make your heroes say voice lines. One click opt-in to custom messages from non-friends. One click blocking. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/DuG_f-OWsAEkK5A.jpg
Another feature this week: color blind accessibility options. We've added optional suit icons to all colored cards. We've also added a color blind saturation setting to help make green and red easier to distinguish. This impacts cards, the HUD, and the deck builder. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/DuHAo0lWwAAe_kL.jpg
There's more, but we'll leave the details for the update. We also plan for another update next week (then a break over Christmas). Then more work next month. We're in this for the long haul.
@MS10EL Yup. Default settings: you have to opt-in to see custom messages, but can see the prefab lines. If you opt-in to custom messages it lasts the rest of that game. You can click an X on any opponent line to mute, which mutes your opponent for the rest of the game.
@retsopuk We hear you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoy4_h7Pb3M
This week's update will be on Thursday.
@HarrisFoster We'll talk to the team.
In advance of Thursday’s update we’re changing the gauntlet rotation date that displays in the client. This is just a weird side effect of this week’s update and doesn’t mean anything else.
There was a Reddit panic about an exploit that allowed purchasing packs at a discounted rate. The exploit was quickly fixed and only about $2500 in card value entered the economy this way - a negligible amount relative to the market size and hourly volume.
RT @VPesports: With @WePlayEsport announcing the details for Mighty Triad: Agility, which is the second leg of their three-parts #Artifact…
About to push Artifact 1.1 and we just passed 8.2 million matches played since launch! (6 million of those are gauntlet matches.) Of total hours spent, 53.2% are in draft and the rest in constructed. The median player has played for 9 hours and 83% have played some form of PvP.
