Zeus is so beautiful, total stud even. One of my favorite gods despite how easy he is to play.

And I dunno, I liked old Nu Wa better, but I never really play her.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Ho boy Nu Wa. I'm not usually one to say this, but they might have sexed her up a bit too much. I haven't read her lore though so maybe there's some justification. I do like the design though. Zeus looks great too. Not a major overhaul, but he didn't really need one anyway.

 

[gogosox82]

Thanks for the invite guys. I was having this issue with connecting into matches but I think I fixed it. I have to disable my firewall before loading up smite so everything should ok but lost all my favor b/c I couldn't connect which sucks.

 

[Indignate]

I'm totally fine with new Nu Wa.

I just need to know what they've done to her kit.

 

[Anilusion]

Just won a game that lasted for 72 minutes. I got like 2000 xp and 40 worshipers at the end lol.

Ao Kuang is definately one of my favorite heroes so far. I'm having so much fun with him! I even picked up the gold skin for 15k

I love him too!

infact the day someone selects him before me will be a grim day for me. (untill I have another god I like to play!)

 

[U2NUMB]

So far I am very pleased with the Gaf clan.. very friendly and helpful. Certainly makes me want to keep at the game.

Yeah, the old nu wa was better. It had more style overall.

I played a few games yesterday with the clan and had some serious fun. If any of the newer players are online and want to do a few matches or just get info about the Meta I am pretty much always on.

 

[Indignate]

If you want to learn how to jungle.

I play this game so much right now, from I wake up untill I go to bed, sometimes with some Dota in between. I'm up for queueing together any time, and I just started playing so I'd love to get some insight from you experienced guys!

 

[Dunlop]

As someone who has never played a MOBA outside of quitting the tutorial in dota2..is it too late for me to play against other noobs?

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

nope join us we keep it a safe zone for noobs

 

[Skinpop]

I'm totally fine with new Nu Wa.

I don't play smite.. but Nu Wa is a chinese godess and this looks like some kind of white washed pocahontas. very weak character design.. makes me puke in my mouth a little

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

and its odd that the design choices came from tencent i thought she looked more chinese before the remodel but what can you do although i think if they changed the cloth color it would help a bit the color it is right now makes it look like leather giving her a indian look

It's never too late.

 

[Indignate]

Is this the only reason for the whole "white washed pocahontas" thing I keep seeing on reddit?

Cuz other than the color scheme, I don't see any resemblance.

Doesn't help that her face doesn't look asian/chinese at all whatsoever.

 

[Indignate]

I'm not saying it does.

I'm asking about the Pocahontas thing specifically.

Are people implying that her face resembles Pocahontas?

 

[Head of Vengarl]

WOW @ Nu Wa lol. Dat underboob tho.

But seriously she looks less Chinese than she did before. Very odd redesign. I don't dislike it, but it's just odd.

 

[Skinpop]

I'm not saying it does.

I'm asking about the Pocahontas thing specifically.

its the combination of colors, braids and her face. she doesn't look chinese so my first impression was a caucasian pocahonty type character.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

i think its the beads along with the color of the cloth although no one has said anything about that

 

[Indignate]

It's nothing worse than the amount of side boob her previous model showed.

Feels like simplifications of Pocahontas at this point. I don't even recall her being associated with wearing beads much and her hair has either been black and flowing or braided long in the front, but maybe that's all just me.

I'm not really defending the remodel or anything, just kind of disappointed that some people immediately pointed at and it said "white pocahontas."

 

[Turin Turambar]

God, I'm addicted at this game again.

More exactly, at playing Siege with cheesy gods for the mode like Nu Wa, Rama or Ao. 69% win rate in the mode already.

 

[Semblance]

I don't mind New Wa as much as others seem to, but I kinda wish she had some different colors. Now she sorta feels too similar to the Egyptian goddesses in the game. It's w/e though.

Really curious to see what they'll do with her kit.

 

[Strazyplus]

The remodels. The gurl is the new Nu Wa, in case you didn't recognize her.

Why does the left picture have a tail, why did they give her legs when she doesn't have legs.... also the model just looks ugly to me as the out of place scales on her shoulders and thighs.

 

[KePoW]

I heard about this game a while ago, but have never played it. Does anyone know if this game is better than LoL or Dota2 ???

She...does have legs.

Have you never played her or seen her be played? Snake tail is a passive thing. Her recolor card has it predominantly displayed.

You're such a troll.

 

[KePoW]

You're such a troll.

Hey aren't you in the Marvel thread sometimes, or is that someone else!

But I have never played Smite before, that is the truth. I've played some LoL and Dota2 before though

Whether one of those games is better than the other is obviously highly subjective.

Smtie is, however, quite different from the two and really most other MOBAs if only due to it's prospective.

Even if you didn't like the game style of those other two, you should still check out Smite. There are a couple modes that ignore the traditional game types with stuff like Arena, which might as well just be a deathmatch of sorts.

 

[Anilusion]

I've played almost 2000 hours of Dota 2 and now I can't stop playing Smite. It's just too much fun!

 

[Spiritreaver]

The game is F2P just download it and try it? The game plays different from DOTA/LoL like others have said. Some people like it over those, some people don't, and some people like all these games for different reasons. You won't know if you like it until you actually try it.

FWIW: I'm a newbie to the genre and I enjoyed learning this game MUCH MUCH more than DOTA2. In fact I don't think I'll ever go back to DOTA, this one is just too much fun.

 

[K.Sabot]

I started this earlier in the week, very addictive and surprisingly fun.

Ya'll peeps should add me at KSabot, this game seems like it'd be more fun when you have someone to set up big abilities with.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

^ Smite has a much, much easier learning curve than Dota 2, that's for sure. I'm glad I started with Smite as my first MOBA. WASD controls are way easier to jump into than Dota's weird RTS-esque controls, especially if you're like me and you never played RTS games. And I've been saying this for nearly 2 years now — Dota 2 really needs to add a shorter game mode like Smite's Arena. Dota 2 matches can last up to an hour or more... casual players like me often do not have that kind of time to dedicate. Arena matches last like 15-20 mins, which is perfect. Any longer than that and I risk having to abandon due to real life stuff.

I say all that as a big fan of Dota 2 btw. It's probably the best MOBA out there, but Smite is superior in its treatment of casual players like me, so I play a lot more Smite than Dota 2.

 

[K.Sabot]

So I played a shit ton of Nu Wa since I started and I'm watching this stream of her remake...

No.

This is not ballin.

She seems like she has the same kit as everyone else now.

Gonna miss the pure scumbag splitpush.

 

[FireSol]

Rama is OP!! In full setup he dont care how tanky you are he still kill you with few shots + global ultimate

 

[Dunlop]

It's never too late.

Thx, I'm burnt out of mmo's and looking for a time killer

 

[Indignate]

Nu Wa doesn't raise the heavens anymore.

She brings them down.

Rama is OP!! In full setup he dont care how tanky you are he still kill you with few shots + global ultimate

He's probably a little broken right now, to be honest.

Got it!

Personally I hate Dota2. I did like LoL quite a bit and HotS alpha. The different perspective in Smite seems krazy, but interesting

 

[K.Sabot]

Yeah I came from too many hours between two accounts of Dota 2 and I've been sucked into the vortex, just hope they don't funsize weird strats like they apparently tried to with Nu Wa >_>

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Nu Wa changes are interesting. I think I like them.

Alt color Zeus is a boss.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Meh, Nu Wa will continue to be a god I don't play.

 

[Indignate]

Nu Wa be kill stealing like Dota 2 Zeus.

Don't use your ult to initiate or scout, only for that last hit baby.

 

[U2NUMB]

Well I guess I am committed... bought the ultimate god pack off amazon... what a great deal that is compared to other MOBA's...

Looking forward to learning all the ins and outs of this game and so far loving the Gaf community attached to it.

Why wouldn't you buy it off them directly?

Unless you had Amazon credit, I guess.
