Didn't mention in the video but SMITE 1 will continue to be supported even after SMITE 2's launch. They didn't specify how long it will be supported, but did mention that it will be.

Half off is BS, thats the absolute bare minimum they could offer

While I am disappointed we do not get every smite 1 gods on launch, I understand why they chose to release them one at a time. Several gods need tweeking, others, need new models and animations, new effects. They need to import evey mechanic from the first game to the second one WHILE making new gods. It costs a lot and is time consuming. So the disappointement is just a feeling, and I'm overall excited for Smite 2! I just hope that Sol will be on the roster of the 2nd game since she's my main.

I wonder if Ratatoskr will keep the current acorns with the changes to them being power becoming intelligents or strength or will he end up with a single acorn rather than 4

[jeromebaker]

I understand the leaving most skins but I feel like at least tier 5 should be transferred over and the way the gems work is not great imo

[JuniorrRey]

My issue is that on release, itll have less content than current smite. No skins prior to year 11, not even half of our current God pool, legacy gems arent all that good and who knows if our mastery ranks, stars, old ranked borders and basically any other cosmetic moves over. I dont see a real enough reason for me to switch right away and ill probably end up playing Smite 1 again after the first week.

Doesnt seem like a really good idea to split up the already small playerbase by just saying "play smite 1 if you dont like it" It should maybe come out at a later date when they can release with more content

[toonlinkwannabe]

I know expecting them to port over every skin is completely unrealistic but the fact that they're saying "We're giving you something but you still need to pay us for more" is what I think everyone is complaining about more so. The problem isn't that "Oh we're losing all our progress" but it's that legacy gems only make things 50% off. If they're not porting over the skins then the legacy gems should be able to pay for everything.

Imagine if in Overwatch 2 what they did was went "OK so we'll give you credit for all the loot boxes and skins you bought but if you want to get any of them back you'll need to grind out more or pay us to still get them, it'll just be faster compared to the first time."

To me, having a graphical overhaul for smite is not worth the complete wipe of all (or most) skins. I'd much rather they just focus on the ability and item changes. And I know that it's probably more complicated than just pressing an "import model" button from UE3 to UE5 but I wouldn't hate the idea of just having the old skins still present in the new game just without the upgraded graphics. It's not like Smite is a stranger to graphical styles clashing with the chibi skins, crossovers, cell shaded skins, etc.

I'm still very interested in the game and hope it turns out well, I've already signed up for the alpha, but I think if they don't address the skin scenario even with Smite 1 and Smite 2 running concurrently they run the risk of chasing away a lot of old players.

[snakezula]

The legacy gems not being able to purchase 100% of skins is a dealbreaker for me, I will not give them my money. I spent like 2 grand in the game over the years and that means I would have to spend another 2k to use all those gems. NO, absolutely not.

[elainesinclair]

I’m hoping that when they port over certain gods they rework them I, hoping for Charybdis cause it feels like she has 2 abilities

[Boocheiny]

That sucks with the skins not crossing over. I’ve got some pretty valuable skins that I’m sad I won’t be able to use in Smite 2.

[VV.]

not a fan of this (yet?). i feel like this is gonna split the community and then both games just have half the players, making the matchmaking even worse than it already is. also i dont think remaking the whole item and damage system is really necessary. also while i understand its too much work to transfer every skin over to smite 2, it still is very disappointing. i feel like the legacy gem system is not enough compensation. thankfully i never invested real money into smite 1. the new graphics are nice and all but its also not something i absolutely find necesarry. i'll probably try it when it comes out but i'm not sure if i will play it completely instead of smite 1.

[wfmstigers]

Love the idea of all items being purchased on all gods! However the layout of the new item trees seems redundant and like a worse version of league’s. I like smites original item trees so much more and really hope they keep that design while just opening up the ability to purchase more items

[revan]

I am actually excited for what new gods are going to come to smite.

[paul]

Well rip all my old limited skins from like 2015-2016 that are gonna be gone when they don’t get transferred

[AndrewH]

It’s not just that they’re not porting skins over, which is a gut punch for how much I’ve spent for the cosmetics I enjoy. It’s also how aggressively they marketed the RECENT skins while KNOWING they won’t port over into Smite 2. I’m thinking specifically the recent crossover events!

The other part I’m not thrilled about, is how limiting the Legacy Gems are. ONLY 50% off, which means I will still need to buy gems to get through even a fraction of the Legacy Gems I’ll have. I’d much rather have a lower fraction of the Legacy gems, but be able to spend them in an unlimited way. Give me 20-25% of all the gems I’ve spent in Smite as regular GEMS in Smite 2. Heck I’d be happy with 10-15% if I could spend them however I wanted, and to fully purchase any skin or event.

[Thenattypoo]

I think they should definitely port over the tier 5 skins

[RestInFlames]

That gem system complete garbage why the fuck would I want to pay for skins when I already did before in regular smite

[steelrice]

Feeling bad about all the crossover stuff not being ported and all the exclusives to our accounts not transfering. I hope they touch on the things that aren't skins. Is my music and announcer packs going to transfer? My wards? What about my boarders?

[wallpapermasterseanyt]

Im gonna need Kuzenbo early in Alpha, I need my special, kappa throwin, shell spinnin boi

[virgil]

I just wanna know how demanding the system requirements are going to be. How screwed are my low spec brothers?
