Personally, I'm not going to buy any diamonds or spend my legacy gems until the game is released.

I feel like smite is just going to die out before smite 2 ever gets launched

[saintnick]

Ported gods and lack of kit changes is the biggest reason I don’t really play smite 2

In my humble oppinion the main issue is that to few people are playing Smite 2 and I totally understand why. The Matchmaking issues are intensified because of it and make more people not play Smite 2.

It’s real simple, when a game isn’t finished and not even half way compared to its previous game. You work on it but you don’t just cut smite1 from all content. That makes 0 sense. I’m glad they realized their issues and are staring to focus on the actual aspects of the game because I speak for everyone when I say we don’t give 2 sh*ts about the skins until you finish the rest of the game

The only thing I think that needs to be addressed, when it comes to acquiring cosmetics, is allowing people to buy the Cross-Gen pass in Smite 2. The ONLY reason I say that is because the netcode for Smite 1 has gotten so bad over the years, and for some people, it's physically unplayable, meaning they can't access the Gross-Gen pass items without either playing through terrible connection and a buggy mess or having to pay bucketloads of cash.

Other than that, I mostly agree with this list of priorities.

I’ve watched some many vids from you, Sam, and rexsi when I first started playing and I can’t thank yall enough for helping me navigate through Smite 1 and Smite 2 thank you for doing these polls and keeping us updated with your recaps❤️ Can’t say it enough THANK YOU SO MUCH :3

I just played a smite 2 match for the first time since the first closed alpha and man it felt rough. The death animations just feel super lack luster and you can almost overlook someone actually dying because they don't seem to stand out. The lack being able to type is super frustrating as a returning player too, as i was unable to ask where to start and what items were good (i dont exactly trust auto builder to be good). Also I guess you cant see god's in game build stats in the match anymore? which is super frustrating. I couldn't tell if a character had more magical or physical defense unless i was to add up the value of each of their items individually myself.

[_chaotic_]

One of the reason i stopped playing smite 2 was because it just feels clunky. They should have definitely waited a year and devloped a bit more before announcing smite 2. I also dont understand why they are not making any really significant god changes. They marketed the game as a completey different game but it just feels like a bad smite 1 port with better graphics.

I keep getting a weird bug on Neith and Sol, when I load up their 2's Sometimes it won't fire and it won't let me cancel. And I get stuck not being able to use any powers.

The button input shows me it's being hit, but it just won't fire the power.

If I dashboard and reload the game, it works, but by then, i'm super far behind. It's happened to me about half the times i've played those characters, and those are my 2 of my favorite characters, so i'm really not playing.

It happened in the first alpha, and it's still happening, at least as of three weeks ago when I played last.

HiRez announced more layoffs this morning.

It’s worrisome watching a game and company I love fall apart this quickly :(

[AphroOrTroll]

None of my mains are in the game so i got new mains now crazy how that works

[whiteysmit]

I’m really disappointed with the removal of gods being able to deal both damage types. I guess I understand why they did it, but it was such a fun part of the game to play around with

[just.chillin.killin]

making smite 2 unique while still being "base" smite 1 is the most important thing to me. as long as the item system and hybrid scaling stays, its all good.

[matheusfouchy]

I honestly feel like they wouldn't be in this spot if they had released a low budget version of Hecate and Mordred to Smite 1 to keep the playerbase interested

[vetabeta]

I was given tester access for it and it was alright, I still prefer smite 1, I love my skins and some of my favorite shows (RWBT, ATLA) made it into SMITE and I dropped hundreds of dollars within the 7 year period I’ve been playing on the game, them not crossing over while totally understandable doesn’t incentivize me to want to play SMITE 2 especially when my compensation is something that will only cover up 50% of a purchase. Honestly would have preferred just a graphics update .


I heavily agree smite 2 should of had more time to cook while smite 1 could recieve slower updates (still mad we never got Katara)

[jettblade]

The whole slowing development on Smite 2 to focus on Smite 1 would have been ideal if it was earlier but at the point where its way too late for that. They've already neglected Smite 1 that adding anything new won't help it. At this point they might as well 100% focus Smite 2 to get it out faster.
I will say there is a line between keeping to what works and something new. I personally feel they have done a decent job at adding new stuff while updating the older stuff. I also personally feel they need to bring Classes back, at least in some form, if only because its a lot better way then the descriptive word soup they have now. It can be changed to not be a hard design philosophy or even more towards whatever the preferred role is for that particular god. Saying Warrior/Solo gives a lot more direction on where that gods could be played then saying "high health, strong single target CC...". I know they want to move away from classes and let every god build every item but I think that is a bad idea causing problems with balancing.

I have moved on to other games to try stuff out, and it have been a blast. I may come back to smite 2 in about 3 years

[MrWEST]

The in game balance is definitely an issue. Its currently why i dont play smite 2. Certain guardians melt you at all stages in the game, and the scaling is so off, its a mix with smite 2s system and smite 1 cuz they just started porting items and characeters, now 5 mins in i get one shotted by a loki 3 and 1 auto, it feels terrible

[bobgog]

I play smite 1 more mainly because of the gods and content in smite 1 i play smite 2 every update to see whats knew but when its more polished and the gods are properly ported i doubt ill be playing smite 1 anymore
