Well still, mastering one god takes about 5-8 games, so it's not like you need to grind hours on end just to master one god, luckily.

On test server and people "test" what happens when you build crit first two items and run at people 1 v 3 when you are already behind. Let's hope none of your team mates want to test what happens more than 10 minutes into a game.
omg had no clue what to do on this conquest map. I went Athena thinking I could support the carry. But he goes afk and im alone in lane. Lost all my towers but somehow ended game with positive kda. really I got carried. Had a freakin' blast though even tho I got no guidance from teammates
My man I recommend you to keep playing as athena is awesome for learning the map, I suggest you to play with a party and have a friend as an Adc.
My Adc is my brother and Its awesome to carry our games together.

Why'd they have to wipe all the god builder stuff? I know the items are different and all but it would have been a lot easier to just let me go in and drop out the items that didn't work anymore as opposed to having to redo it for every god I play as.

I'm sad they've removed the free login bonuses. I go through periods where I'm really into Smite and then I take extended breaks from it. The login favor/gems always kept me connected to the game though, and it was nice once I started playing again to be able to buy a new god or skin with the login loot. Now there's no reason for me to stay connected to this game when I'm not actively playing.

Yeah it's a bit of a downer for me too, I don't play every day but do play often. I do make sure to login once a day though. I understand them wanting to do it this way though, this will cause people to play more but of course could have the opposite effect too.
In other news 3v3 seems pretty sick, me and Thirtyfour07 went 3-0 I think. Arachne is a beast! glad she's back it seems.

Couldn't agree more, Luap. I'd always login for my rewards even if I didn't have an interest in playing. Often times it'd lead me to playing a match or two.
Oh well, I'm enjoying the new items. I tried Joust and had fun with it, but I don't think I could play it with randoms. Still playing Assault though. I'm a little annoyed people pick Meditation before another active there. I really don't think it's a good pick up in Assault anymore. There's better ways to keep your mana/health up.

Ever since Heartward Amulet has been introduced I rarely ever go meditation in Assault. I've never been called out for it either. Med is only useful on gods with heavy mana cost or if you think you'll be the only one that can clear safely. I guess it's alright for the HP return for the group but I still don't think it's necessary.

The real bummer about the daily bonuses being gone is that the quests barely give anything, 25 gems for 7 quests is pitiful.
Yeah, I went to remind myself how much gems cost and completely noped the hell out.

I still had gems leftover from the sale so it wasn't too hard to part with them for me.
What's good to build on Bastet?
This is what I did in my last game, but I feel like I just put a bunch of random crap together. I also built very little health and very little defense, since I like to get in, poke, and get out with Bastet.

I was in a rush and I saw the base stats gave me CDR and Movement speed which I thought would be useful for chasing people down. I didn't have time to read up on the passive because I had to get back in the fight. There might be a better item for what I wanted.
Edit: I guess it helped me with Poseidon pools?
they did? That fucking sucks I spent a lot of time setting that up

Edit*
Winged blade was the correct pick up. If they had more physical and less slows, Mail of Renewal. Shifter's shield is great on bastet but very expensive. If you wanted to continue going damage don't go for the crit as you were in the last item. Get another penetration item like Brawler's Beatstick (buy for the pen the passive doesn't matter but it's great in season 3!). Bastet is ability based and ability based assassins favor penetration over crit/attack speed etc.
Loki, Xing and Zonger all had slows. Posiedon has a cripple on his pool and he didn't have gem of iso.

Got Merc to rank 10 with a nice arena to finish him off:
Going to need a new assassin now though. Was thinking Awilix but Fenrir is looking strong and Drota has been making Arachne look very good.

It's mainly just telling you account level and casual mmr of your team and the enemies.
The casual mmr is not offical though so it's probably not entirely accurate.

Player Matchup tab on Smite Guru from Left to Right
Player | Party | Account lvl | Smite Guru MMR | W/L for THAT MODE totaled | KDA for THAT God averaged (across all games in that mode) | Damage for THAT God averaged (across all games in that mode) | Gold Per Minute for THAT God averaged (across all games in that mode) |
I say "THAT God" because depending on which match you want to check the stats on it will show you different stats if you choose a match where you had a different god.
Quick Stats will show you the stats for only that game and nothing more averaged in.

That makes sense. So it's talking about your general stats instead of the actual game stats.

HiRezStew - For quests: We're looking at restoring the old daily login system, and then having 2 WEEKLY quests to earn gems. More gems earned easier.

Why did they make Xing Tians hook slam slow instead of root? Khepri's got a grab and a stun, Kumba's got a stun and a root, Athena's got her taunt, Ymir has a slow and a stun, Bacchus has a bounce and stun, and Ares, even without a hard CC, still has his chain which has huge range, silences escapes, lasts forever, and in combo with the full length of the flame thrower does huge damage for a guardian. Xing is fine, you got his damage down to a reasonable amount from release and that was really the only thing that needed work, now pls stop messing with him.
I liked it more before when it was nighttime.

Most of the time you are just looking at the empty floor in arena. They improved some things about it I think.
Well, Shifter's Shield and Winged Blade are two items I'd sub. Shifter's Shield is typically not a good item because of its cost vs benefit. When you're paying 2700 gold for a defensive item, it needs to give you health or really good utility. Consider Spirit Robe or Mail of Renewal - in this game, definitely SR because they have four magical gods.
Also, you want to get Titans Bane online early with Bastet - second item is preferable, third at the latest (and perfectly fine to get Jotunn's first in Assault because of the much needed mana increase and cooldown benefits). The reasoning behind this is that your 2 is a DOT and your highest damaging ability - you want each tick to count as much as possible. In fact, the entire mace tree (minus The Crusher) is your friend. You want and need pen with Bastet.
My favorite assault build to use for her is Warrior's > Titans/Jotunn's > Jotunn's/Titans > Spirit Robe/Mail of Renewal (pick one based on enemy team) > Brawlers Beatstick > Situational Defensive/Utility Item.

Changes to the log-in rewards and quest system: https://www.smitegame.com/quests-and-login-rewards/
You get log-in rewards as you used to plus you can complete 2 weekly quests and get another 30 gems.
So a total of 80 gems possible per week.

I'm not complaining but it looks like they're using the same quests they currently have for the 2 weekly's too? So like, just play 4-5 games with certain criteria and you get 30 gems? Seems the weekly's won't require much time at all. Which is fine.
