My one concern with the critique that they should have waited longer to reveal the game and have us play it would be the fact that they included us so early so we can give input so they can make meaningful changes. The longer they wait to get a sin on the process the more stuck in the initial design the game would be.

I bought the founders pack primarily to support development.
It flabbergasts me why people expected more in an Alpha. They weren't hiding how unfished it was.

The problem with the current state of the game isn’t Smite 2 itself - it’s that THIS IS HOW FULL RELEASES ARE SOMETIMES. Calling it an alpha has seemed to lose all meaning when “finished” releases are just as bad.

[luigilp]

Im a huge Smite 1 player and was hyped to play Smite 2. I bought the $30 version because it is basically paying for a god pass for when the game is fully released. I played for a bit and simply did not enjoy for multiple reasons. It's an Alpha so what can I expect. Did I waste $30 ? No I didn't because I will have access to all gods during a fully released game. When the Dev team is all in and smite 1 starts to become history, that is when the game will be worth it. IT'S AN ALPHA !

[DaSoto]

It’s a shame, I paid for the alpha not expecting a complete experience, but I’m pretty disappointed by what I am getting, just decided to check in once every month or so to see how things feel, but I’ve found myself enjoying smite 1 far more these days, haven’t given up hope for smite 2 though

[funwalkthroughs]

My biggest stickler is just how much information they share w the player. End of game stats, ability descriptions in a match etc. I think if they can convey this information in a non overstimulating or confusing way it would b super nice. Especially with all the little changes sometimes it’s hard to remember in game.

I'm the mortal enemy of the 'gamers are entitled' crowd but i will say that a lot of people have way too high of an expectation of everything they bought in smite coming to smite 2. I also put a few hundred into smite, but i understood that as a live service it would be going away at some point. When smite 2 comes out completely i don't care if the gems don't get me much, or anything. I got a little early adopter profile pic and some legacy crossover skins and i'm okay with that.

Hi rez support is ass. I literally lost my main account on smite 1 bc the password recovery system doesn’t work and also you can’t recover your account so essentially I’ve lost like 50K legacy gems.

[brokenbummed]

Biggest obstacle in the way of the alpha’s success currently is the paid founders pack and what you receive from it, versus hunting down an alpha key .

[willowdoesmusic]

the hotfix thing is so true. I know a lot of the focus is on smite 2 dev-wise right now, but as an example in smite 1 MLF has been banned in ranked due to a bug for the last like 3 weeks now, which included a patch. Don't know why they're so hesitant to fix issues like that (unless its a massive time-sink or something for that specific bug)

[BRPerfections]

Ascension passes are cool. I don't mind paying a few bucks for the pass on my favorite gods and I get more rewarded for progressing and it makes it more fun to grind one God.

[BrambleStar]

As someone that adors Sol and always has, they should definitely add a portion of her passive that reduces how much crit applies to her basics. Her passive mixes far too well with crit and it would be better to reduce her ability to benefit from crit than to nerf crit for everyone.

[youngbouyoub]

I hope they continue to change certain cancer gods, I’m glad about the nu wa change and that’s my most played character.

[lazyking]

Maybe cuz I play on console but I haven't experienced any "game breaking" bugs. It was never meant to be a full game. The only reason I go back to smite one is just because of more gods

[aaronfimbres]

Is their anyway to play KBM on console? I was able to set my key bindings but it isn't reading my mouse movement

[cryptochronos]

The two problems i have with the game is that the lack of diversity in the gods all of the supports are initiators, the junglers are all ability focused the second problem is the chasms that exist between the best gods in the role and the second best god in the role, it makes it so casuals are all the same yes theres always the best god in a role in smite 1 but very rarely is the second best that far behind, the problem with this is that they are nerfing top gods and not buffing the underperformers yes that would lead to power creap but early on thats not a problem and feels better than playing whack a mole with every busted god and item forever

[DarkChibiWeebie]

Honestly the only valid complaints i can think of that really aren't a needed change to smite 2 is the interaction button being practically useless besides just a fun idea the devs wanted to try out and the cherrypicking vibe the game has. Besides those two things the only personal complaint I have about the game is that we don't get options for god abilities and changes their making to some gods like zeus having a new 2nd ability, I would have loved if they gave you the choice of having the shield at the lack of stun on the 3 or with the 2 at least let you choose if you cast it on yourself or a teammate to give buffs for.

As someone who will probably never play Smite 2, due to lack of any hardware that can run it, I do think the game has potential to be better than Smite 1 but now its still being made and is suffering from that. It should have been pushed back until it had Conquest, Arena, Joust, and one other mode or a lot more gods. Right now Smite 2 doesn't have a lot and Smite 1 is basically not supported any more so I can see why people are frustrated and disappointed with what is going on. I do understand that it takes a while to make a game but they needed to keep Smite 1 going and making Smite 2 in background until it was close to where Smite 1 is. Its just not in a good place right now but I do think they can bring it around, its just going to be rough.
Also I do think the Legacy gems and stuff is a good middle ground. Not happy that I might be losing a lot but they really could have not done that. It could be better but it could also be much worse.

My biggest complaint is that they hyped up gems being so important and how players can rebuy skins that they lost and almost every skin currently in smite 2 cannot be purchased with these gems, and then doubled the cost of skins. Whats the point of 200k gems when its just a glorified 50% off coupon on skins with inflated prices.

When monetization is more predatory than league you should reevaluate your monetization method

[elixir]

My biggest issue rn with smite 2 rn is the damage output most of the characters is way way too high. any cc without beads and you just fall over even against tanks and it feel awful to just watch your health disappear in a 1v1 no matter who it is. especially nu wa feeling very overtuned with just her 2 3 combo hitting way too hard
