This feels like something to keep Smite fun and somewhat interesting before Smite 2 goes through it's alpha/betas and releases. I like how they are approaching everything and can't wait to play Smite 2 and see how your content evolves with it!
It does suck that every skin can't be carried over, but honestly it's all worth the release of Smite 2. It's absolutely insane that Smite 2 is happening and it will carry the game to new heights. Smite is my absolute favorite game and I think it's extremely generous of them to refund all gems you've ever spent, even if they only count for 50%. They didn't have to do that at all and I would STILL support Smite 2, but it goes to show that they do love the community.
@sohaibm1617 They explained how many hours and months it would take to carry over every skin. Since they went from unreal engine 3 straight to unreal engine 5, they said its just too different to simply port them over. They also said they would rather spend the time and resources needed to remake every skin instead getting each God added to Smite 2 as quickly as possible. Regardless, I think it's great. Smite 2 is a dream come true for Smite lovers.
At 37:15 when you try to test lifesteal on fg. You dont heal at all, i went to check ingame u cannot lifeseal from fire giant and gold fury anymore? Also is titan cleaving wave new?
Specially since nobody forced any players to use money on smite skins in the first place. Fully their own decision and it's crazy that people cry about it, when Hi-rez don't need to give them any gems but are doing it out of pure generosity
@@nhlifts9151i mean its not as simple as porting them they would have to basically remake it from scratch, that being said its hard to believe 1 skin would take 2 months especially considering the fact they will probably release more than 1 brand new skin every 2 months
Either way look at it this way. The game was free you bought it by buying skins. You played it for hundreds of hrs most likely I think you got your money's worth. If smite 2 is as much a new game as they say I think how they are going about this is fair weather they are true about the time frame or not. They are a company they do need to make money.
@@baldurironshield5083 either way they make 300 mil from skins a year, most the skins are recolors, and most players are paying $30 for the godpack that they want you to rebuy early for smite 2 lol so I wouldn’t call the game free at all. Skyrim modders make higher fidelity, and way more skins then are in smite too if people think it’s hard to make skins
Tbh im happy weak3n got included in the smite 2 thing with other creators before us but im sad at the same time because I would’ve loved to see a reaction video… but it is what it is i guess
I'd be VERY impressed if we see Smite 2's full release by the end of the year. Season 11 feels like the "fuck it, we ball" season until next season which I believe will be Smite 2 in full swing
One thing I do know is that mauis 2 will be interactive, meaning it will be like a threat lantern where you can press it and teleport rather than sit in it and teleport. I heard a developer talking about it with fineokay in his smite two video when it was showing deathwalker playing.
Can’t remember if he has a 40 series or 30 series nvidia card but he definitely has a higher end gpu. With nvidia cards you can go into the control panel for them and up the digital vibrance. Makes all of the colors pop more!
My bet is they're gonna have the face gods like wukong, Ymir, Bellona, etc, as well as the five new gods they teased plus some of the more commonly played gods and Nut. Probably around 20-25 gods to start with is what I would guess. 30 could happen but I think more than that would take too long and delay the release.
when there was chatter a few months ago about smite 2. i said i won't touch it if i don't get my skins which i spent literally thousands on and was so mad when i didn't even know if smite 2 was actually going to happen. then when i saw the smite 2 trailer and heard what they were doing, i wasn't mad, just really excited
Dude...I'm a season 2 player. Started on Xbox, then moved to PS, then to PC. I've lost so many fucking skins/announcer packs/special event shit/etc across all of those accounts every time I switched and I'm super fucking stoked about the legacy gems. I got dicked with OW to OW2 and Destiny to D2. Hi-Rez is doing it right with this.
People but hurt about skins I don't get it there being so generous considering it's a new game any other game wouldn't give you anything at all so the fact we're getting gems back is very generous just take the dub and look forward to a new engine and smoother gameplay
Not all skins from smite 1 transfer to smite 2. They will transfer some fan favorites later. But you still get gems you spent on smite 1 in 2 that you can spend but it’s like 50% or smth.
Hi I just reached masters and am sitting on 2,6k mmr at the moment. Still I think I belong at a lower level, and would love to get some pointers. Would love to try a elo heaven video if you are interested.
I hate how they haven’t posted the finals cause I didn’t get to watch it live and I stayed away from all of y’all’s videos so I wouldn’t get spoilers and they still haven’t posted it so I said fk it and looked it up
Hope geb or Athena will be in the game really I don’t have time to play much so mechanically I’m not as good also I’m on console makes it worse and those gods you don’t have to try too hard to be good with.
It's a bit sad that all the skins can't be ported to Smite 2, but I'll take a better game over my skins every day (haven't spent money on any skins, just the unlock all gods thing I forget the name of). All those skins might be cool, but the fact we get *anything* to transfer over from Smite 1 is a blessing
i will still play smite 1 because my pc cant run smite 2 but as soon as i get a new pc i will play either smite 2 all the time or both to play with the gods that wont be available during that period
It most definitely is a different engine, weakn doesn’t know what he’s talking about completely, plus smite one was on unreal engine 3 and this on 5 it’s literally the same engine just update, they can for sure port the skins over, they just don’t wanna use man hours to do it, which is crazy cause then people should either get gems totaled to the amount they spent or just port the skins. Which shouldn’t be a problem cause that was literally one of epics main selling point with unreal you can port everything lol they proved it with Fortnite.
I will be sad about the skins but I also understand and won't complain especially if the new Smite 2 plays better and has better servers. and looks better graphics-wise. all that will blow me away and i won't even care about the skins.
CS2 is a completely new game on a new engine, CSGO ran on the og 2004 source code even though it was heavily patched over the years. Wasn't that hard for them to just write a code to transfer the skins over. Even if the smite devs didnt want to do that why not just give the full price of gems back.
how are ppl whining about the skins when hirez is even willing to credit half of total gems bought in smite 1 and xfer them over to smite 2??? they dont have to do that!
They won’t transfer my stuff over to my smite 2 account because my smite 1 acct got perma banned for no reason and they refuse to unban it or tell me why it was banned so I don’t get any legacy gems if I play smite 2… so stupid
I will say this, skins dont take 200 years like they sayed to implement on Smite 2, they simply saw it has a waste of time and also it would be a reduction of their future income, but they had to give people something back otherwise you would see a massive fall of player base, the skins its not a matter of a new engine its simply cause they shown they havent done many gods yet and its a problem for them which is a noob move to announce something and not even have 50% done, so resumes that they dont have time to make the skins for smite 2, also to mention people getting dilusional that they think with the legacy coins they getting they will be able to buy much even for whale players cause the prices will be double, but its good they upgraded the engine but hopefully the coders do the work well so it doesnt crash and we see bugs everywhere like in smite, yes the current issues are bad coding nothing else.
The literal math on a skin is it takes around 8 weeks of a single person working it on. Thats the average between all the types of skins. It's simple. You pretending like you know how long it takes to make a skin is weird.
@@Weak3n Cause i know how long it takes, also they have a template to work from which is easier (what we talking its not engine related that is another department), if a free-lance can make a 3d model same quality or better with rig in a month without stress, why cant they?, there is many questions that could be asked, but its stupid by their part giving that speach has a excuse to not doing a few skins, cause im aware the reasons of them not wanting to do the skins but its their choice, hopefully the game is good and without crash/bugs but that is also asking too much.
@@mattice9083 That what i call them noobs, never ever announce a game that for it seems very early in-development, cause you dont have all the models done, it seems to be a rush development by all the factors they gave, skins im not worrying about it now but also a factor they saw its gonna take is some time and we could use this game to be released soon, people its simple to understand the pattern only blind people cant see.
@Weak3n tbf on the skin bit, there's probably way less skins that should/could be getting ported. I.e there's 3 mastery skins for each god, the number of shitty favor skins, recolors and crossovers. So it could be a bit fair to say that they could import a couple skins or skin lines over once in a while and it's not like they need to import every skin for the big money maker gods like Aphro/Neith. And there's no way it wouldn't make for a better reputation
I was completely gonna write off hi rez after this move with the skins, but if what theyre saying is true, itll at least make this news bittersweet instead of terrible. They could at least over time bring the tier 5s back. Im considering still if i ever wanna support them into smite 2 cause at the end of the day what you buy from them can be taken away at any time.
It’s from Unreal engine 3 to unreal engine 5, I don’t agree on the skins thing even with the explanation cause it’s not money wasted for them, it’s money wasted for their players they already got the money, they can’t lose it for something they already got paid for already, if that’s the case everyone who got skins that they paid for should get their money back, or start off with the equal amount of gems that was used. Like people are paying to OWN things. That’s why cod got so much backlash, they also saw a dip in skin purchases in wz2 because of not porting skins over.
@@mattice9083 Actually yeah they really do, you can say it’s a different game don’t mean you can port unreal made items to unreal made items. Unreal 3 to 5 once again is just an update to the same engine. People paid for skins to own not borrow my guy. So exactly like I said they should give the amount of gems that people paid for their skins. People hate wasting money, literally skins is going to be a reason why a lot of people just stay on smite, if Fortnite can transfer every skin from unreal 3 to 4 to 5 then why can’t smite? It’s the same engine not a new engine like weak said. I actually develop in unreal I’ll take the time myself to get everyone their skins back, if I worked for hi rez. Games have died behind this situation before.
@@Bestman1314 because 4 to 5 is similar whereas 3 is a almost a completely different game engine. Source: someone who used 4 and now 5. They're giving you all the gems that you spent free or purchased to use in smite 2. Again this is a NEW GAME and they literally could just tell you to fuck off if they wanted. But they're not
@@mattice9083 my guy I used all three and still use it, I literally just got a old project from 3 to 5. Like I said final time I’m reply to you, I said giving the gems is what they should do dawg. It’s not a new engine bro it’s an update to an already existing one, I literally just said if Fortnite can bring all their skins from 3 to 4 to 5 cause that’s exactly what they did. Smite could have it’s just that simple. Game shouldn’t even been announced if everything from 1 wasn’t gonna be in at first anyway, kinda the same complaint people had with call of duty.
I find it dumb they made it so Jing Wei can't benefit from the new deathbringer, meanwhile when Silverbranch was broken, any god with attack speed stim can benefit from it's passive.
They didn't make it so jing wei doesn't benefit from the new passive. that's just how she works. she never gave herself extra crit, it's just the enhanced basics themselves. she's always worked that way.
saying it wouldn't make money is disingenuous. I'm not saying the homeboy weak3n is disingenuous. I'm saying is bill gates stupid for buying land in India, because 'hypothetically' he won't make money from that land? yeah we know he hasn't made money from that land after buying that land in India for hundreds of millions upon millions of dollars, but will he really never make money from or because of the land? it's an investment and a lot of companies invest, they just don't like the sound of this investment because of experts'math and data. I'm not for them doing it, but these people know they are going maximize profit over functionality which is okay its not bad or good, just say it out loud so that the next generation can practice not being degenerate consumers like us.
The know they’re bullshitting saying porting skins would take 200+ years when they made everything in the game in 12. They just want cash before their game dies and anyone the knows anything about coding is there are games way older than smite that have been fully ported to new engines. Never mind porting some skins on a character lmao that shit is so easy they could hire people on fiver or just ask the community.
200 MAN YEARS bro. That means it would take a single person 200 years to remake it. Hirez has 500 employees working on Smite. Youre talking like 20 million in salaries to just port skins over if they had enough employees to do it in ONE year
@@Weak3ncs 2, ow 2, poe2, bdo multiple times, and even cod does it. I get your on payroll but be real here most skins are recolors and saying they are not bringing t5 skins over but will sell them for a discount seems like they’re just hoping to yoink some cash quick. Plus when they make a reported 180-300mil a year I think it’s fine to sacrifice 20 mil to keep a good reputation.
It's a new fucking game and they literally don't owe you shit. You should feel lucky you can get anything for free from them. You need people to work on the actual game and not wasting time making your fucking anime skins. Get real
@@mattice9083 lmao you must not know they make all their money from skins just like ow2 but ow is way harder to make skins for and everyone still got all their shit they earned for free. It’s community suicide to not port over years of people’s progress but hey stay simping for a company screwing over the ogs. Also them making you rebuy the godpack when all the gods are the same lol and selling current non transferable skins at a discount sure seems scammy.
Smite 2 is a new game. I dont know why people think they will get to keep their skins. When any game sequels come out its a new game. Halo 1 isn't the same game as halo 3. Smite 1 isn't Smite 2 quit crying.
If you are crying for your skins stay in Smite 1please, let the people who actually care for the game move on, see if this way I can get some good teams on rank and not some Jing Wey solo or some sh!t like that
I just don’t really understand the point of smite 2. It seems like overwatch 2 or counter strike 2 in terms of what you’re getting, but for some reason we need a whole new engine? The gameplay/animations are almost entirely the same, and so the only thing really using the UE5 is graphics update. Couldn’t they have just updated normal smite like counter strike 2 did for csgo or overwatch 2 essentially did for overwatch 1? Going to a whole new engine just seems unecesaary, considering how little it’s changing. From what I’ve seen and heard, it’s essentially the same game with a graphical update. A few mechanics changed here and there, some new gods, new item system, etc. but nothing that couldn’t have just been done in the current smite engine. Just seems a little cash grabby/playing catchup/wanting relevance. Ima still try it, but I just don’t really understand why they needed to fully go to a new engine with the little they are changing. Even the graphics seem unneeded for a game like this. It’s art style as is works just fine, and in many ways is timeless. I think the glossy/more real look might take away from it. Just feel like it would have made more sense to give normal smite a big update, instead of updating the graphics and slapping a 2 onto the essentially the same game. For someone like me who never spent a penny on smite, it’s gonna be a pain to have to unlock every god again. Put a good amount of time into smite over the years and got every god, a good amount of cosmetics, lots of skins, etc. and it’s sad that I’m gonna lose a lot of it now. Crappier feeling since I also spent no money getting it all. Sort of feel worse for people who actually spent money though. Smite 2 just seems unnecessary. That being said, weak3n is right, in that it’s a lot better than other gaming transition situations. It sort of fumbles though when he also says that the player base won’t be split. That everyone will be playing smite 2/should be, and in turn insinuating that everything you earned or bought in smite 1 will become irrelevant. Then lessening the argument that Hi-Rez is helping to get stuff into smite 2, and therefore strengthening the argument of people being annoyed at losing their stuff from smite 1. Essentially if everyone is gonna be playing smite 2/everyone should be playing it, then people should also have the right to then argue/be annoyed over not getting all their stuff from smite 1. Question for weak3n or anyone else though: don’t you think the game will be just as hard to get into, but just with a cover of shiny new paint? Considering the items, gameplay, pathing, and gods will largely be the same. Wouldn’t the amount of gods not matter at all? Don’t more gods actually allow for more opportunities for new players? The more or less gods things does not really seem like a valid reason for it being harder or easier. I think the abilities of the gods, the gameplay, pathing, and items are what make the game hard for new players. Considering almost all of that will be the same, how will smite 2 be better for new players? I think it will have more new players, but I don’t see how it will be different. I think Hi-Rez also knows this, and that’s partly why they are making smite 2. Fresh coat of paint and shiny new release/reveal adds more hype, and in turn brings in more new people. Hi-Rez seems to at least be trying a good amount. Hope that all made sense :)
I mean, not everyone is in the same financial situation as you. If people have spent a lot of money on skins that are now going to be useless then they have every right to complain. That's the bottom line.
Considering all his skins are from streamer donations lol he doesn’t understand. He’s at work while we work for ours. Not throwing hate just stating facts
Skins are a want, not a need. I make minimum wage, and have spent a decent amount on smite over 10 years, yet I'm still more than happy with what they are giving us. If pixels on a screen is that important to you, then you can still stay in smite 1. Not throwing hate, just stating facts

They won’t transfer my stuff over to my smite 2 account because my smite 1 acct got perma banned for no reason and they refuse to unban it or tell me why it was banned so I don’t get any legacy gems if I play smite 2… so stupid
You don't get perma banned for nothing. Like they pulled your name out of a hat and banned you
@@Weak3n I know that, but they haven’t told me why and refuse to tell me that’s what I am frustrated about
I will say this, skins dont take 200 years like they sayed to implement on Smite 2, they simply saw it has a waste of time and also it would be a reduction of their future income, but they had to give people something back otherwise you would see a massive fall of player base, the skins its not a matter of a new engine its simply cause they shown they havent done many gods yet and its a problem for them which is a noob move to announce something and not even have 50% done, so resumes that they dont have time to make the skins for smite 2, also to mention people getting dilusional that they think with the legacy coins they getting they will be able to buy much even for whale players cause the prices will be double, but its good they upgraded the engine but hopefully the coders do the work well so it doesnt crash and we see bugs everywhere like in smite, yes the current issues are bad coding nothing else.
The literal math on a skin is it takes around 8 weeks of a single person working it on. Thats the average between all the types of skins. It's simple. You pretending like you know how long it takes to make a skin is weird.
@@Weak3n Cause i know how long it takes, also they have a template to work from which is easier (what we talking its not engine related that is another department),
if a free-lance can make a 3d model same quality or better with rig in a month without stress, why cant they?, there is many questions that could be asked,
but its stupid by their part giving that speach has a excuse to not doing a few skins, cause im aware the reasons of them not wanting to do the skins but
its their choice, hopefully the game is good and without crash/bugs but that is also asking too much.
@@WesleyR2803because they have to work on the actual game and not divert attention to making a million skins
@@mattice9083 That what i call them noobs, never ever announce a game that for it seems very early in-development, cause you dont have all the models done, it seems to be a rush development by all the factors they gave, skins im not worrying about it now but also a factor they saw its gonna take is some time and we could use this game to be released soon, people its simple to understand the pattern only blind people cant see.
@Weak3n tbf on the skin bit, there's probably way less skins that should/could be getting ported. I.e there's 3 mastery skins for each god, the number of shitty favor skins, recolors and crossovers. So it could be a bit fair to say that they could import a couple skins or skin lines over once in a while and it's not like they need to import every skin for the big money maker gods like Aphro/Neith. And there's no way it wouldn't make for a better reputation
I was completely gonna write off hi rez after this move with the skins, but if what theyre saying is true, itll at least make this news bittersweet instead of terrible. They could at least over time bring the tier 5s back. Im considering still if i ever wanna support them into smite 2 cause at the end of the day what you buy from them can be taken away at any time.
You can take all my skins, I'd rather have a much better looking and faster running smite any day
Day fifty of asking for heimdallr ability damage build game video
they splitting the player base so old gen player can still play the game....
So then if I can’t have the skins I paid WITH MY OWN MONEY just to be told F OFF then have them reimburse me for the money I spent.
I heard they would refund you back the gems spent
I heard it's a new game and they don't owe you shit but they're still least refunding every gem you spent
It’s from Unreal engine 3 to unreal engine 5, I don’t agree on the skins thing even with the explanation cause it’s not money wasted for them, it’s money wasted for their players they already got the money, they can’t lose it for something they already got paid for already, if that’s the case everyone who got skins that they paid for should get their money back, or start off with the equal amount of gems that was used. Like people are paying to OWN things. That’s why cod got so much backlash, they also saw a dip in skin purchases in wz2 because of not porting skins over.
It's a different game they didn't have to give you anything in the first place. What are you on
@@mattice9083 Actually yeah they really do, you can say it’s a different game don’t mean you can port unreal made items to unreal made items. Unreal 3 to 5 once again is just an update to the same engine. People paid for skins to own not borrow my guy. So exactly like I said they should give the amount of gems that people paid for their skins. People hate wasting money, literally skins is going to be a reason why a lot of people just stay on smite, if Fortnite can transfer every skin from unreal 3 to 4 to 5 then why can’t smite? It’s the same engine not a new engine like weak said. I actually develop in unreal I’ll take the time myself to get everyone their skins back, if I worked for hi rez. Games have died behind this situation before.
@@Bestman1314 because 4 to 5 is similar whereas 3 is a almost a completely different game engine. Source: someone who used 4 and now 5. They're giving you all the gems that you spent free or purchased to use in smite 2. Again this is a NEW GAME and they literally could just tell you to fuck off if they wanted. But they're not
@@mattice9083 my guy I used all three and still use it, I literally just got a old project from 3 to 5. Like I said final time I’m reply to you, I said giving the gems is what they should do dawg. It’s not a new engine bro it’s an update to an already existing one, I literally just said if Fortnite can bring all their skins from 3 to 4 to 5 cause that’s exactly what they did. Smite could have it’s just that simple. Game shouldn’t even been announced if everything from 1 wasn’t gonna be in at first anyway, kinda the same complaint people had with call of duty.
@@Bestman1314 then don't play lol. Game will be better without you crybabies. ITS A NEW GAME
The take that people wont just play smite 1 if smite two is ass is insane
Give SEA a server pls
I find it dumb they made it so Jing Wei can't benefit from the new deathbringer, meanwhile when Silverbranch was broken, any god with attack speed stim can benefit from it's passive.
They didn't make it so jing wei doesn't benefit from the new passive. that's just how she works. she never gave herself extra crit, it's just the enhanced basics themselves. she's always worked that way.
saying it wouldn't make money is disingenuous. I'm not saying the homeboy weak3n is disingenuous. I'm saying is bill gates stupid for buying land in India, because 'hypothetically' he won't make money from that land? yeah we know he hasn't made money from that land after buying that land in India for hundreds of millions upon millions of dollars, but will he really never make money from or because of the land? it's an investment and a lot of companies invest, they just don't like the sound of this investment because of experts'math and data. I'm not for them doing it, but these people know they are going maximize profit over functionality which is okay its not bad or good, just say it out loud so that the next generation can practice not being degenerate consumers like us.
The know they’re bullshitting saying porting skins would take 200+ years when they made everything in the game in 12. They just want cash before their game dies and anyone the knows anything about coding is there are games way older than smite that have been fully ported to new engines. Never mind porting some skins on a character lmao that shit is so easy they could hire people on fiver or just ask the community.
200 MAN YEARS bro. That means it would take a single person 200 years to remake it. Hirez has 500 employees working on Smite. Youre talking like 20 million in salaries to just port skins over if they had enough employees to do it in ONE year
@@Weak3ncs 2, ow 2, poe2, bdo multiple times, and even cod does it. I get your on payroll but be real here most skins are recolors and saying they are not bringing t5 skins over but will sell them for a discount seems like they’re just hoping to yoink some cash quick. Plus when they make a reported 180-300mil a year I think it’s fine to sacrifice 20 mil to keep a good reputation.
It's a new fucking game and they literally don't owe you shit. You should feel lucky you can get anything for free from them. You need people to work on the actual game and not wasting time making your fucking anime skins. Get real
@@mattice9083 lmao you must not know they make all their money from skins just like ow2 but ow is way harder to make skins for and everyone still got all their shit they earned for free. It’s community suicide to not port over years of people’s progress but hey stay simping for a company screwing over the ogs. Also them making you rebuy the godpack when all the gods are the same lol and selling current non transferable skins at a discount sure seems scammy.
Smite 2 is a new game. I dont know why people think they will get to keep their skins. When any game sequels come out its a new game. Halo 1 isn't the same game as halo 3. Smite 1 isn't Smite 2 quit crying.
I'm not surprised a fanboy like weaken would defend the company being money grubbing trash.
They don't owe you shit for smite 2. It's a new game
I want my skins! LoL
NAH NAH NAH THIS AINT IT HI REZ I CANT EVEN NU WA ULT OUT OF IT I JUST GET 1 TAPPED LOL
If you are crying for your skins stay in Smite 1please, let the people who actually care for the game move on, see if this way I can get some good teams on rank and not some Jing Wey solo or some sh!t like that
First?
I just don’t really understand the point of smite 2. It seems like overwatch 2 or counter strike 2 in terms of what you’re getting, but for some reason we need a whole new engine? The gameplay/animations are almost entirely the same, and so the only thing really using the UE5 is graphics update. Couldn’t they have just updated normal smite like counter strike 2 did for csgo or overwatch 2 essentially did for overwatch 1? Going to a whole new engine just seems unecesaary, considering how little it’s changing. From what I’ve seen and heard, it’s essentially the same game with a graphical update. A few mechanics changed here and there, some new gods, new item system, etc. but nothing that couldn’t have just been done in the current smite engine. Just seems a little cash grabby/playing catchup/wanting relevance. Ima still try it, but I just don’t really understand why they needed to fully go to a new engine with the little they are changing. Even the graphics seem unneeded for a game like this. It’s art style as is works just fine, and in many ways is timeless. I think the glossy/more real look might take away from it. Just feel like it would have made more sense to give normal smite a big update, instead of updating the graphics and slapping a 2 onto the essentially the same game. For someone like me who never spent a penny on smite, it’s gonna be a pain to have to unlock every god again. Put a good amount of time into smite over the years and got every god, a good amount of cosmetics, lots of skins, etc. and it’s sad that I’m gonna lose a lot of it now. Crappier feeling since I also spent no money getting it all. Sort of feel worse for people who actually spent money though. Smite 2 just seems unnecessary. That being said, weak3n is right, in that it’s a lot better than other gaming transition situations. It sort of fumbles though when he also says that the player base won’t be split. That everyone will be playing smite 2/should be, and in turn insinuating that everything you earned or bought in smite 1 will become irrelevant. Then lessening the argument that Hi-Rez is helping to get stuff into smite 2, and therefore strengthening the argument of people being annoyed at losing their stuff from smite 1. Essentially if everyone is gonna be playing smite 2/everyone should be playing it, then people should also have the right to then argue/be annoyed over not getting all their stuff from smite 1. Question for weak3n or anyone else though: don’t you think the game will be just as hard to get into, but just with a cover of shiny new paint? Considering the items, gameplay, pathing, and gods will largely be the same. Wouldn’t the amount of gods not matter at all? Don’t more gods actually allow for more opportunities for new players? The more or less gods things does not really seem like a valid reason for it being harder or easier. I think the abilities of the gods, the gameplay, pathing, and items are what make the game hard for new players. Considering almost all of that will be the same, how will smite 2 be better for new players? I think it will have more new players, but I don’t see how it will be different. I think Hi-Rez also knows this, and that’s partly why they are making smite 2. Fresh coat of paint and shiny new release/reveal adds more hype, and in turn brings in more new people. Hi-Rez seems to at least be trying a good amount. Hope that all made sense :)
I mean, not everyone is in the same financial situation as you. If people have spent a lot of money on skins that are now going to be useless then they have every right to complain. That's the bottom line.
someone casually gifting $100 and you dont even mention it there's something about your arrogant vibe that i dislike ;/
Considering all his skins are from streamer donations lol he doesn’t understand. He’s at work while we work for ours. Not throwing hate just stating facts
Skins are a want, not a need. I make minimum wage, and have spent a decent amount on smite over 10 years, yet I'm still more than happy with what they are giving us. If pixels on a screen is that important to you, then you can still stay in smite 1. Not throwing hate, just stating facts
Your fault for spending money. It's a new game they actually don't have to give you anything but they are
