Just saw that on the Smite Wiki. Hahaha.


Aren't you a LoL player? I hear that game is the MOBA-genre leader in fanservice.



Since you said "our culture" I'm going to assume you're of Chinese descent? If so, I apologize if I offended you. Yes, I do have a 21st century Western view, where boys are dressed in blue and girls are dressed in pink. :P I did not know about the significance of pink in Chinese lore. Honestly I know very little about Chinese culture, though I've learned a little more recently because I was learning about the Mongolian conquests, which heavily involved China. I had no idea that the Chinese used to have a navy that was likely the most sophisticated in the world. They even grew citrus trees on them so their sailors wouldn't get scurvy — fucking genius!

league has nothing on smite

i meant it as a compliment
i love tits
 
I've been trying to get Apollo working, it's tough though, especially in something like Arena. Seems like by the time I'm farmed enough to be scary, the game is basically over.

Also, I hate when a Loki pops up out of stealth to gank me, I manage to dash away, and he just ults to finish me. ._. I try to tell myself that at least I made him burn that ult for the kill, but it's cold comfort.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like there is a very small pool of "random" gods in there at the moment. Another annoyance is one team having Cupid/Ra and not the other, even small amounts of healing have a pretty large impact.
 
called it patch incoming heres notes
New God: Ne Zha

Child of the Lotus (Passive)
When Ne Zha dies, his indomitable spirit is reborn from a Lotus at his location, healing nearby allies every second while increasing their protections. Ne Zha’s basic attacks also utilize a four swing chain, with the final attack in the chain dealing damage to all enemies in front of him. Heal per Tick: 10% of Ne Zha’s Maximum Health. Protections: 30. Duration: 6s.

Universe Ring Toss
Ne Zha throws the Universe Ring where it bounces to nearby enemies. Each hit deals damage, applies a stacking physical protection debuff for 3s and slows the enemy for 1s. Each successful hit also applies a stacking movement speed buff to Ne Zha for 2s. Damage: 50/70/90/110/130 (+15% of your physical power).. Bounces: 5/6/7/8/9. Protections Debuff: 10 per stack. Slow: 25%. Movement Speed: 4% per stack. Cost: 50/55/60/65/70. Cooldown: 12s.

Flaming Spear
Ne Zha empowers himself with fighting spirit, igniting his spear for increased Attack Speed and Critical Strike Chance for a short duration. Attack Speed: 15/25/35/45/55%. Critical Strike Chance: 15%. Duration: 6s. Cost: 55/90/65/70/75. Cooldown: 18s.

Armillary Sash
Ne Zha throws out his Armillary Sash hitting the first enemy god in its path. The target is stunned as Ne Zha yanks himself toward the target, dealing a powerful blow to all enemies in the area when he arrives. Damage: 70/100/130/160/190 (+150% of your physical power). Stun: 1s. Cost: 75. Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14s.

Wind Fire Wheels
Ne Zha dashes forward. If he hits an enemy god, he knocks it skyward for 4s, unleashing a combo (successful clicks during the combo allows some hits to be critical strikes), then smashing back to Earth, dealing additional damage to enemies in the radius as he flips back to his starting location. Damage per Hit: 30/50/70/90/110 (+30% of your physical power). Damage (Landing): 60/100/140/180/220. Cost: 80/90/100/110/120. Cooldown: 90.

New Skins

Ms. Diagnosis Neith

Blue Lotus Ne Zha

Cacodemon Ymir (Beta Promotion Exclusive): This skin is automatically awarded to players that reach Level 30 prior to the games’ official release (which is currently planned for sometime this summer). Players that have already reached Level 30 should have the skin automatically unlocked following their first full match (that earns XP) after the patch.

Stalker Artemis Skin (Twitter Promotion Exclusive): Details will be announced soon on how to acquire this exclusive promotional skin.

Twitch Ymir (Twitch.TV Promotion Exclusive): Stream on Twitch.TV for 5000 minutes using the new in-game Broadcast functionality to acquire this skin (see below for more).


Twitch.TV Integration

Players can now stream their matches live on Twitch.TV directly from the game without additional 3rd Party software. Configure your stream on the BROADCAST tab of the TV tab.
Players that stream Smite using the in-game broadcast function have the opportunity to earn specific achievements based on total minutes broadcasted. See the BROADCAST tab for additional information.

General

The new free god rotation is Aphrodite, Arachne, Guan Yu, He Bo, Neith.

Consumables and Active Items now show as primary-level categories in the Item Store, directly below Recommended and Popular Items (they are no longer sub-categorized under “Other”).

There have also been a variety of other cleanups and small UI modifications to the in-match Item Store. This includes a search dialogue.

In Custom Matches using Draft Pick mode, the first party to join the Custom Match after match creation will now be assured the first draft pick.

When running Borderless window mode at your native monitor resolution, the minimize button will again be visible in the main lobby.

The duration of the Friend Online popup notification has been increased slightly.

Fixed an issue in which death animations on certain gods would not play correctly in certain situations.

Minor cleanups and fixes have been made to the Assault map.

Fixed a variety of bugs with the Character Builder on the GUIDES menu.

The FRIENDS tab is now the first tab on the SOCIAL menu. PARTY is the second tab.

Match of the Day and Assault Casual mode are no longer restricted to solely North American servers.

A new option has been added to the VIDEO tab of the SETTINGS menu that allows you to adjust Gamma. Broadly speaking, you can use this to adjust how “bright” the game feels.

Spectator Changes

Fixed an issue where a synced spectator could get out of sync even if the party leader did not rewind or dilate time.

Spectating a target from the top-down view will now default to the camera location to the highest location (although spectators can still use Q/E to zoom in and out while attached).

Collision against the world map (except going out of bounds) has been removed for the top-down camera view to prevent view snapping.

When using the spectate commands via system chat, acknowledgement and denial messages will print to the chat and to the log.

Type “/SpectateStop” in the system chat to cancel a queued spectating session.

Active Items

Blink (New!)
Using this item will allow you to teleport short distances instantly. You must be out of combat for 10s before it can be used. Cooldown - 90s.

Motivate (Major Change)
Using this ability now grants the closest 3 minions permanent buffs making them equal to fire minions. The minions are also healed back to full health. Cooldown - 90s.

Portal (Major Change)
Using this ability now creates a portal entrance at your spawning location and a portal exit at your ground target. The portal exists for 30 seconds after placing it, allowing 1 player to go through the portal once every 2 seconds. Cooldown - 180s.

Shielded Recall (New!)
Using this item allows you to recall faster and without interruption. You can still be damaged, but you are immune to crowd control and are unable to move. Cooldown - 90s.

patch is live oh man ne zha is cheap as hell level his 2 and 3 first holy crap all i did is build warrior tabi, executioners, fatalis and death bringer went 23 and 1
 
Fenrir
is pretty much guaranteed next. After him, we'll likely get
Isis
.

Also, Surfer He Bo is gonna come out in the next patch, probably.
 
Looks like another small patch pushed out, 0.1.1468.0 . No notes that I can find...

Ne Zha seems pretty beast. Ring toss is great, just toss by a clump of minions gods are standing next to for guaranteed damage. Flaming Spear can just ruin people if you can get close and have some Physical stacked on you. The Sash is great for interrupting dudes, like using it to chase guys that are chasing your teammates. The Ult is easy to hit and can knock someone out of a fight long enough that even if you don't kill them, you can have a pretty large impact.

He's definitely very squishy and his mobility isn't great, but it seems like if you pick your fights well and isolate people, you can be a real problem. I've been experimenting with popping in some defensive items that also grant health, tough to tell how much they are helping.

My favorite thing is someone running toward you for some solo action, you pop the flaming spear and often they quickly change their mind. :D

Edit: Oh, there's the notes buried in the forum:

A hot fix VERSION 0.1.1468 was deployed on April 17 with the following changes:

Fixes several bugs with Ne Zha's Ultimate.

Fixes a bug with the Phoenixes in Assault mode.

Temporarily removes Shielded Recall. Another patch will go out later that reinstates the items with some balancing changes.

I've been playing a lot of SMITE lately. Got that Artemis skin from Twitter today. There's 2 days left to get it:

http://www.wishpond.com/twsd/51882?id=51882&scid=13028&type=Merchant

I'm at ~4,500 Favor and I'm definitely gonna buy Zeus next. I keep getting wrecked by him in Arena, which is the mode I play most, so I figure it's a good investment. His burst damage is just insane.

One god that really surprised me tonight was Vulcan. I had just been talking to my friend about how I felt that Vulcan is one of the most underwhelming gods in the game; every time I see him played he never has much of an impact. That is until I just happened to play back-to-back matches with this guy, who is by far the best Vulcan player I have ever seen. He almsot single-handedly carried his team both times. He built magic power instead of tanky items, and man was he a bitch to deal with. Almost makes me wanna buy Vulcan instead of Zeus. Almost.

And finally: Ne Zha is insanely strong man. I played several games today where he just tore shit up. His 1 does a ton of damage if there's just two enemy gods around, his 2 is one of the best steroids in the game, and he basically has Clockwerk's ult with his 3, which lets you initiate and stun. And his ult is great for setting up kills or finishing people off. Thankfully he does have a weakness — the same as Loki — which is that he dies in a second if you have a coordinated team and you focus him. Still, I think Ne Zha is actually a better assassin than Loki at the moment, because of his 3.

Thanks for the heads up about the Stalker skin. Luap you should just get the whole game. 30 bucks unlocks all gods upcoming gods forever AND you get the favour you invested in unlocking gods refunded back to you to spend on skins. It's one of the best deals going in MOBA's really.
 
Man I have had such a weird couple days. It's been all win/loss streaks: First a 7-loss streak, then a 4-win streak, and then I finished the night with a 3-loss streak. :\ Plus, lately I've been getting placed on teams with the biggest assholes. Dunno what's going on but I've been having to make liberal use of the report function.

Yeah... I'm just way too cheap to spend $30 on SMITE. I really disagree with their model and wish they went the Dota 2 route instead. But oh well.

Speaking of new gods: I finally got Zeus. And I got Vulcan on my alternate account. Both of them are very fun. Zeus is really hit-or-miss in that I either do really well or really poorly. I'm still getting used to his playstyle. And damn his skillshot is hard to land. Vulcan is awesome and a great zoner. I build him pure AP and people constantly underestimate the damage he can dish out.
 
Zeus is kinda difficult because you have to rely on his auto-attacks. He is great in certain team comps, though.
Vulcan is pretty bad at the moment, though, even though he's a pretty decent pusher. Been playing support for the most part (can't play carries/mages in Conquest to save my life lol), and Vulcan is really weak in comparison to other tanks.

I've actually stopped playing Conquest for the most part - Arena and Assault are my preferred modes, just because nobody gives a shit, there's hardly any assholes, and thus I don't have to concentrate (or concentrate too much and turn bad again).
 
get boots of celerity and chronos pendant will give you 50% cool down reduction zues is highly dependent on his 1 ability so the more times its available the better
 
I'm pretty much playing all modes to get your the first win of the day bonuses. Except joust.

I'm pretty good now with hades, aphrodite, hercules, vamana and psoiden. I suck with any of the assassin gods. I'm at lvl 23, hoping to make it to 30 before beta ends.
 
^ Hey Bamelin, add me as a friend (my ign = Xelha) so I can get those sweet sweet 200 gems when you hit 30. I'll be rooting for you! ;)

Yeah I exclusively play Arena and Domination. My friend and I tried Assault for the first time yesterday and we hated it. Not being able to go back to base is a really dumb mechanic, IMO. And I can see Vulcan being underwhelming in Conquest, but in Domination I think he works very well since it's all about zoning people out of your captured towers.

Yeah Chronos is a staple with pretty much every mage I play. But why Boots of Celerity over Boots of Magi?
 
I never played Domination and I don't think I ever will. XD
I find Assault pretty fun, because it's just random ass gods haha. But I can see why you wouldn't like it.

Arena is my favorite mode, tho. Also, I often play MOTD if the thing is fun. The other day there was this Conquest MOTD where everybody starts with 100k gold, and a random god. I got Hades, I wrecked a lot, haha. That poor Aphrodite I laned against had no chance.

That said, I'm only like level 15. I don't think I'll make it for Cacodemon. I've been playing quite a bit lately, but there's only so many games I can play with my time.

the movement speed and 25% extra cool down reduction is far more beneficial for zues just make sure to also grab some pen as well i always get a spear of the magus and the rest are just the highest damage items possible

If I hit 30 all my friends get gems?
 
That's how it's supposed to work. I never got gems for anyone hitting 30 on my friends list. It's a bonus for someone hitting 30 who you referred.
 
missed it again D: but on the plus spent most of my day smurfing nothing makes you feel better then going 41-0 as anubis in low level hoarder motd
 
Started playing the game yesterday.

Played as Ra primarily. Double high dmg/high scaling nukes so guud. I feel retarded when I miss both of them though.

Auto-buy is ok, but seems buggy. I tried editting Ra's items priority and they just don't take. What gives?
 
Just starting playing this. Good brainless fun with the auto-buy turned on. Neith seems ridiculous at low levels, went 20-4 or something in a game. Kali also seems ridiculous

Ra is actually a great god to start with. I advise researching builds and learning how to do a build with auto off. Arena is a great place to learn the gods without suffering the hate you'll get it u fuck up in conquest.

ditto for assault. Assault mode forces random gods so the "it was my first time with this god" exscuse is in full force.
 
Niiiice. I'm guessing he's gonna be an AD carry? Or a bruiser ala Thor?

I had the most one-sided Domination match I've ever seen last night. I was playing with 2 friends and we went up against a 5-stack, yet we won the initial tower rush and then my friend snuck off and capped the 3rd tower. The other team never managed to get a single tower back from us, and we won in 10 minutes. The score was 396-0.
 
Gosh darn Hi-Rez always patching on my designated "girlfriend day." :(
Edit: Nevermind, tomorrow is Wednesday, not Thursday. Hooray!
 
Lol He Bro. Speaking of him, I've been having a lot of success with He Bo in Arena/Domination lately. His 1, 3, + ult combo can kill pretty much any non-tank target in seconds. The only problem is that he's a free meal for Loki/Ne Zha if they get the jump on you. Sometimes I was able to use my 3 to launch Loki away and then escape but it wasn't easy.

Man I wish my girlfriend day was on Thursday. We only get to see each other on the weekends so we have to deal with insane crowds whenever we go out to dinner/movies/concerts/etc.
