[Rygar 8 Bit]

cant wait for ah puch

 

[SkullHydra]

Nemesis skin?

 

[ThirtyFour]

Some people seem to think it could be a gender swap Chaac but Nem is the most likely.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

gotta be nemesis shes judge and executioner

 

[CountAntonius]

It's nem. Same wings.

 

[ThirtyFour]

Kukulkan?:

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

zerg kuku omg yes

 

[SkullHydra]

Kukulkan?:

I am so close to tears right now. My favorite god gets a skin based on my favorite StarCraft race. This patch is perfection!

 

[Indignate]

Didn't Serqet just get a skin? Looks like it's just a slight alteration so it must be one of the cheap ones like the Freya mask and naked Thor.

Ninja Nem is still better. A gender bended Chaac would be dope though.

BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS MY AWILIX SKIN? BELLONA GETS ONE LIKE NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS AFTER SHE'S OUT BUT MY WAIFU DOESN'T GET ANYTHING!

 

[ThirtyFour]

A lot of costumes this patch, Bastet:

 

[Indignate]

That's not Awilix.

And thank God because that skin sucks.

Take that back to LoL.

 

[ThirtyFour]

And thank God because that skin sucks.

You can never really tell how it's gonna look in game just from the card (Athena Liberte) but it's certainly not my thing.

 

[Indignate]

Ugh, Athena Liberte turned out so poorly. Good thing Red Star is still dope.

I will only buy that Bastet skin if she makes some stupid Avril Lavigne reference.

Fingers crossed.

[Indignate]

I play Heroes of the Storm.

I don't need Smite telling me how to play Nazeebo.

EDIT: Hot Damn. Dat Anti-Heal.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

wonder if that zerg skin is purchasable with gems or only unlocked in that tourney thing

 

[CountAntonius]

Made a thread for the new patch. Game needs more visibility on GAF.

 

[ThirtyFour]

Seems like the SPL ticket thing will cost 300 gems. So not too bad if you're after the Nem or Kuk skin.

That's really reasonable.

Ah Puch gameplay, ult looks like it will be a huge pain in assault.

Concept art for Nox skin.

Still not Awilix.

 

[Spiritreaver]

That skin sure is busy....

Stuff always gets simplified from the concepts. Sometimes too much imo.

Art for the new Anubis model:

Oh cool! Didn't realize he was getting one even though I feel like they've been talking about it for a long while now.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Some of the balance changes seem interesting but not enough to make me want to play more.

 

[ThirtyFour]

Pic of the new Arena map:

Some video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v16S2_Tx7po

Looks a lot bigger than the current one, running away from fights looks like it will be harder to do.

 

[Indignate]

It's the same size.

I think they've already mentioned that it'll strictly just be a visual change.

 

[ThirtyFour]

Yeah I saw that mentioned after I posted. Either way I like the look of the update.

Isn't it very similar to the old version though? Bit strange if they went away from it then went back.

 

[CountAntonius]

I like the new geometry but I proffered the nighttime. =/

 

[SkullHydra]

I just got my first Penta Kill! Probably my best game as Scylla too.

Will achievements be retroactive? If not, I'm going to be so sad...

They said anything they track will be retroactive so I think you'll be fine.

Does anyone here even follow the pro scene?

I'm on and off with it. Caught the Spring LAN though.

Glad to see Cyclone exerting his dominance as the best player in the game and bringing AFK along for the ride.

I am starting to. Lots of fun to watch and I enjoy how varied the team make up ends up being. Today they had Athena playing mid. Crazy!

I've also been watching it recently. Loved seeing SWK doing well.

Cyclone's solo Ullr made me sad, I love Ullr but I'm absolutely terrible with him. I'll never reach the heights he had with him in that match.

 

[Indignate]

Okay, that Bastet skin might actually be the best skin.

Forgive my previous indiscretion.

I normally follow it. I pretty much kept up with season one, but I've kind of lost interest.

I don't know if it's this way for other game leagues, but there is so much drama within the pro scene. I think I heard dm dogging on Jerbie today for talking shit about other pros. It's like every week there's some bullshit going on.

One of the few pros I sit and watch anymore is Barra. He seems like a genuinely good guy.

 

[Indignate]

I think I heard dm dogging on Jerbie today for talking shit about other pros. It's like every week there's some bullshit going on. .

Yeah, I was watching that.

From what I understand, Jerbs insinuated that AFK wouldn't get far without him when he left the team. Don't know if it's true or not, but Weaken took a shot at him after they won.

Drama is in competitive gaming just like it's in any other sport. Most of the drama that surrounds Smite is mostly DM stuff though. Most of the higher tier players are at least pretty decent human beings from the looks of it.

In that video of the Kukulkan skin, you can see the remodel of Anubis.

SMITE Patch - Rise My Minions Overview

Excited for this one.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Yeah, doesn't surprise me. I used to enjoy watching Jerbie play but his stream is horrible. It's either him begging for money or talking shit about people. It's no surprise his viewers took a nosedive.

Drama is in competitive gaming just like it's in any other sport. Most of the drama that surrounds Smite is mostly DM stuff though. Most of the higher tier players are at least pretty decent human beings from the looks of it.

I really don't agree that it's the same as other sports. I follow tennis pretty closely and there's almost no newsworthy drama even at major championships. There's also an overwhelming amount of sportsmanship. I think the last big drama case was Serena getting disqualified some years ago.

But yeah, DM is the source of a lot of bullshit, but sadly he's also the face of the community. Pretty shitty situation.

I'm also pretty on and off with it. I feel like Smite is off to a good start, but League feels so much more professional (from what I've seen at least). I feel like many e-sport scenes are hurt by trash talking and general bro-ing out. Has anyone seen COD tourneys where people are freaking out and yelling obscenities at each other? It's a trip...

 

[CountAntonius]

Interesting

This weekend, we'll be running a new Special Event: Omnipotence queue for players to join!
With this patch there is a new "Special Events" Achievement that can only be progressed by playing the Special Events queue. Complete each stage of the Achievement to unlock Gem rewards and Achievement Points! The first stage unlocks with 5 wins, provides 100 Gems, and it only increases from there! Special Events will be available throughout the month - this is only the first of many that will contribute to the achievement.

With this patch Match of the Day has been moved to be a Special Events queue, running the most popular modes from MoTD with special achievements and new rewards.

I am so close to tears right now. My favorite god gets a skin based on my favorite StarCraft race. This patch is perfection!

celebration!

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I'm kind of confused. How do you buy the SPL loading frame/Xba skin? Do you have to buy one of the team chests?

 

[ThirtyFour]

Go to the new store then go to the bundle tab. It should be the only option there for 300 gems.

 

[Indignate]

It's also always on the front. Right under the chest icon.

 

[ThirtyFour]

Has anyone played SWK in conquest since the patch? I've been terrible in solo in the past and I'm thinking that I'll probably be better if I use a God I like and that I'm actually decent at.

Is he viable there now?
