Neith's second ability creates weaves now? And her third ability detonates it? Actually a really nice change if so

Question can you change your items in the inventory like in League or do you have to buy the active items first?

[JadeOfficial]

Smite really looked at Pokemon Unite and said "yeah lets add the agreed upon worse mechanic (zapdos) to this game"

coming back to smite 2 after not playing for years and seeing trelli working at hi rez is so cool

Looks like a mobile game. That font is screaming Raid Shadow Legends

I HIGHLY recommend you change that jungle buff drop change, you should not have to tell players that the buff camp doesn't drop a buff first time but it will the next time. It's counter intuitive and confusing.
Just have it drop a pretend buff, an essence of something greater that explains that the next buff will be stronger with each level of the camp and anyone not paying attention will just think they got a buff and continue to play like normal.

The biggest problem with SMITE is having to hit a button 10 times before the ability goes off. I've gotten in the habit of spamming the trigger button to help the ability to go off. And no I'm not silenced. Sometimes the character starts jumping instead of casting the ability. This has been a problem for a few months now in SMITE. Not sure if I'm going to get SMITE 2 unless they fix this problem.

Trelli you glorious bastard, I'm happy for you. And I hope we never meet in Smite unless you're on my team lol

Smite 2 information that you should also know, take it as FAQ:

There is no longer physical and magical damage?
Physical and magical damage STILL exist, what changed was that now you do not buy physical or magical damage, now you buy strength or intelligence, the skills scale with one or both statistics, expanding the range of possible builds.

Did they rework any gods?
Many gods received updates to their skill kits, it was already seen that Neith has changes that make her more comfortable to play, but other gods such as Anubis, Ymir and Anhur have also received changes, among them Anubis received greater changes, a completely new passive and his ult has a new mechanics. These are NOT reworks, just improvements, the gods playstyle is the same.

Will all the gods from Smite 1 be there?
There will be ALL the gods that are in Smite 1, but they will be released slowly, the alpha will have 14 gods, but it is known that there are already many more (around 30 gods) ready, but they will not be implemented immediately, they will be released with each patch probably, plus there will be gods that only exist in Smite 2 and there will probably be no new gods for Smite 1, leaving Nut as the last goddess.

This is what the game will look like?
Yes and no, the current graphics will remain, but as for aspects such as the font of the numbers, menus and other sections, they may change during development, according to the statements of content generators who tested Smite 2, the game in 3 months change enough to say that 3 full seasons have passed, so TitanForge is working quickly and efficiently.

The game looks the same graphically and the animations are the same!
Check your eyes, Smite 2 is much better in its graphics section, the animations are much better done and the tools of the new engine (UE5) allow them to work better and faster.

So Smite 2 is better than Smite 1?
No, absolutely not, what you will find when you enter the alpha is a game with bugs, server problems and no matchmaking, in all aspects it will be much worse than Smite 1 and it will take 2-3 years to reach the level of Smite 1, but we must not forget that it is an ALPHA, if you look for videos of the alpha of Smite 1 you will realize that it takes time to polish a game.

Like, do you not remember it was possible to build physical items on a magical god is early Smite (1)? Nothing new. Honestly it's just going to be a mess again and Hirez will restrict items by magical / physical type.

[Orchidees_]

da fu*k?! the jungle buff die like a someone who have a AVC(heart attack) lol

[Fyre]

Hey its that guy from new jersey! trelli!

[RuneDeviI]

SMITE 2 in only REMASTERED Smite 1... Item shop similer LOL

[gilraell]

Doing Blight 3 10% damage, wtf?! Fights will be too fast with the damage, It's so strong. Should be better 5% and 25-30 hp for each tick. And the gold fury buffs... WTF?!?! Strongest minions after 2 kill? 3 kill crashing all hope for comeback. Just someone RA or Janus will to steal GF and easy win, like I see. The buffs have too much influence for gameplay. And yes, first kill gf is important and also too strong. The game is broken and that even is not Fire giant!

[sauceless]

so they changed the word magical to intelligence and physical to strength lol.
