Can't flippin wait for more Smite 2. As a founder I actually feel like I'm part of something cool at the ground level (despite Smite being around for so long)

Not gonna lie, I’ve been playing Smite for around 11 years since the open beta came out, and I haven’t stuck with any game for nearly as long. So when I heard Smite 2 was coming out, I was excited. The idea of the game being revitalized on a new engine? Amazing. However, my excitement quickly turned to frustration when I found out that none of what we, as players, have will transfer over. I understand it is a "new game, " but let's be honest, as you have, it is the same game on a new engine, which is fine. I don't think anyone has a problem with that.

What we do have a problem with is the idea that our items—be it skins, profile icons, stats, and all—will be inaccessible to us. For older players, ones who have stuck with you all since the beginning, this feels like an obvious stab in the back for monetary gain. What hurts the most is remembering being a kid and using my birthday money to buy the Ultimate God Pack, with the promise that I would own all the gods, as well as all gods coming out forever. You stuck with that promise; it was one of the best deals/purchases I had made. Over the years, I was pleasantly shocked as well as elated that the deal held through. Until now. As the Ultimate God Pack won't be allowed to transfer, and instead, we have to repurchase it under a new name.

Listen, I understand it is your company, and it's your decision ultimately on what you'd like to do with this repackaging. I also don't think one comment in a YouTube section will change the mind of the company. However, I felt it needed to be said that, for some of us, we will not be joining Smite 2. I hope you all realize how this has hurt some of the people in your community and possibly reconsider the state of your company as well as return to your roots as a MOBA that promised to be different.

As well as much love to those working on this, who had no power in this decision, to the smite team and devs, I send no hate, nor malice, your work is appreciated and noticed.

Instead of doing the skins like most are saying its should just be a random rig genorator where yiur gods skin loads in randomly on a separate map for a mode. That way its only on that map and the normal maps and modes dont get affected

[xpduelist]

ok the loading in on wrong rigs should be added as skins... have some fun yall

[Liam.Lacoste]

Please add those bugs as skins! That's hilarious

Hopefully the HUD isn’t broken for 10 years

i kinda have still very bad vibes about the in-game models/animations/physics... They dont look like any closer to the UE5 standards/potential. Also because they re-used the same old goofy models with same old aa/walk/cast animations and improved them a bit. That's not how you ur supposed to _"make the game from the ground with new techs and new engine"_ 💀
This is just revamping something outdated that already existed.
I've played Alpha for 22 hours and it didnt feel a new game worthy of UE5, just a "remaster" with some graphics improvement and some different gameplay changes :/

Still hope for the best tho, hope they'll learn how to use it and make new things and not using the same old outdated material.

Anyone encountered the bug where you kill someone as fenrir and get teleported into midlane? I'll

[MaliBuuGaming]

so you're telling me you played this on controller and thought the store was well designed and intuitive?

[nathanwoodin]

What about enemy players starting the game in the enemy fountain. Then continue to keep reviving and dieing

[Kendijeie]

Idc about that i want my skins in smite 2

You mention friends and family so many times I highly doubt they exist. In basically every video or post I see this from various employers. If those testers dont play in real settings but highly controlled, they cannot give proper feedback as they dont experience the game as the rest of us plebs.

oh dear, using excel to track bugs? no wonder it's so buggy...
