[@lefeline9192]

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.

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

[@Fuzzleberry]

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.

why does it say still physical & magical protection in those items tho? it means gods still do those types of damage types

[@nightshockplayz5894]

Yeah they do, if you look at Neith's abilities, her 1 and ult are physical. Her 2 and 3 are magical. Prots will still be physical and magical in the end.

[@johnnycripplestar5167]

There will still be different types of dmg, just that it scales depending on what the stat allows it to be scaled with. Which means that you're gonna need specific god knowledge instead of just knowing that they're physical or magical. This will also ultimately make some tanks less broken during certain comps. Imagine the tank needs to build on physical to tank 80% of the enemies and then just build some dmg in the end. It can be pretty broken. Now tanks will almost always have to build hybrid protections and warriors will be slightly more situational rather than tanky killers essentially.

neith minor rework is very interesting. Like some in hirez said on meeting "okay, they playing her in mid anyway"

[@ImmortalMarshmallow]

I think that's one of the greatest things they're doing. Without the classification of only magical/physical damage characters, they can re-route specific gods into less specific roles. A team that used to be 5 physical gods could be a completely viable team now in competitive. Magical junglers and ADC's can finally be re-classed to better fit their ACTUAL role rather than just being thrown in "mage" It's a great change imo. Looking forward to brand new team comps

no way they show it, why would they make the game easier?

[@Chaotixs11]

@@3lietechhack646 Because when balancing the scales of Accessibility and Skill Expression, auto-tracking beads timers would do a lot more to improve Accessibility than it would to reduce Skill Expression. Writing relic cooldowns in chat is just tedious, less of a skill to master and more of a habit to build. It'd be a change that upsets the grognards in the short term, but long term would help improve new-player retention and let the rest of us focus on the more interesting and exciting parts of the game.

[@3lietechhack646]

@@Chaotixs11 No that's a garbage change. Keeping track of relics is not just writing down the timer. It's not something tedious, it's a skill. You don't always have time to write them down in fights, you sometimes don't notice who used what, especially in a teamfight. Sometimes an enemy might use a relic outside a fight, without being seen by anyone..Making the timer known removes all that. Even if you miss a relic being used, you just press tab and you check. You want to gank someone? Just press tab and see their relics and their support's relics. This is garbage on so many levels. Might as well show you their ability cooldown while we're at it.

[@DapperCracker512]

Why did we need a Smite 2? 🤷‍♂

[@Chaotixs11]

A few reasons explained in brief. 1. Hype: Smite 1 as a game is old. It's a natural pattern that games get a surge of players when they launch and then lose players over time. A sequel is a great chance to attract new players and re-excite old players who have fallen off. All they need is a good "selling point," to justify the sequel and make things seem new. Which we get in points 2 & 3. 1. Development Tools: Smite 1 is built in UE3, which is an antique dinosaur software compared to the new engine Smite 2 will use(UE5). UE5 will help the developers create new and exciting features faster and easier. Having used both myself, it's like comparing a musket to a modern machine gun. 3. Graphics: People say "graphics don't matter, it's the gameplay that counts." But the data-proved reality is that people care about how pretty their games look. The graphical technology in UE5 lets you make a game that is both more visually appealing and performance optimized. Revamping the appearance of the game is a great way to help make everything feel new again. The real bottom line is that Smite 1 was going to die eventually. No game lives forever, and Smite has had a good run. 10 years is a very long time in the world of Video Games. For context, Smite 1's life time spans the entire time from Dark Souls II to Elden Ring and then some(and the servers will still stay up for a while after Smite 2 launches). Smite 2 is a chance to refresh and renew.

I really dont undertand tha change in relics as wholle what is worth beads to suport? what is worth beads for a mage with no way to escape? And such a long cool down man, Are you guys making the matches even longer so beads can have more use? Taking cc out of the game so beads has less valeu ? The only thing's that relics change will make is having the matches being even longer and drownout.

[@snrlrocky]

The point, I believe, is to make it so that people have to be more thoughtful about build crafting rather than using the same items over and over. If I have to consider whether I wanna have something like sanctuary/ aegis in my build but miss out on stats, or whether I wanna forego that in pursuit of more stats. I don’t think they’ll be taking cc out of the game, in fact with built in beads they’ll likely be adding in more, since everyone can automatically get out of CC at least once every few minutes. We’ll have to wait and see how that affects match times. It’s too early to tell.
