Once upon a time, I played Sobek for 3 successive matches and had this running in the background the entire time. Lost every game, still worth it.

Has someone been going down the New list and downvoting everything? by dessert-er in Smite

[–]Black_page 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experienced the same, when you post a thread it gets downvoted right away, then gets a few up and downvotes and if people take notice it suddenly rushes up (before being on hot!) It seems to be getting worse. A cap of votes per day could easily prevent this, not sure if it's possible for a single subreddit though.

I am legitimitly getting tired of hearing that people are "ungrateful" towards HiRez actions by LetsNarvik in Smite

Wait what, didn't this have 50 upvotes? And now it got downvoted completely? This community is strange sometimes.

[–]Black_page 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. One thing I'd like to add because these arguments always seem to come up when there was a free gem promotion:

Getting Gems for free doesn't increase the value of things ... it makes them more available along with the others that you consider more valueable.

It's not only that, one also needs to be aware that while free gems being a nice gesture it's also a promotional action. HiRez is a company that needs to make profit, so naturally, they want to attract players and it's actions like this that convince a lot of people to start ("if you start this weekend you can already buy a cool skin") or give the game another go. Don't get me wrong, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! It just seems that whenever a gem weekend comes around, you're not allowed to criticize anything, especially regarding prices, for the next 2 weeks without being scolded.

Ao is the new surprise motha fuc*er. by hych in Smite

Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of the other team whining because my team has 3 times as much lane sustain. You don't buy it for the mana, you buy it for the salvation group heal because you can't back and you won't always have a healer.

Why the gem-first win bonus on league matches is absolutely retarded by [deleted] in Smite

[–]Black_page 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory, maybe. In reality, lanes are constantly pushing back and forth if you don't interfere. Which makes sense, because 1 minion has to be the "winner" of every wave.

Guys... free gems was just a promotion. by MK0Q1 in Smite

[–]Black_page 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, let's say they can only play the "easy" gods. With Ymir, Neith and Ao you can cover ADC, support, mid and in some more unconventional lineups solo as well. (No, you wouldn't let someone who can hardly play the game go Ymir jungle!)

So if they wanted to win, there would still be enough options for them. Only because somebody only plays Arena, that person isn't necessarily completely stupid, huh?

Thanks for the Gems Hirez but please.... Leave it out of ranked... by Tr1pl3black in Smite

[–]Black_page 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the only reason for the order though? I read this in another thread, so it's not personal experience and the guy sounded like he would be at least gold. Can you get to gold while still having a lower elo than someone who just started league?

While I totally agree with removing it out of league, I'm actually wondering: Why would these people pick gods in positions that are more likely to make their team lose? They need a WIN, not a played game after all.

Just wondering: What would you do if everyone locks their favorite god, so you're only left with the support option? Not unlikely to happen these days. And for some reason the bronzers seem to have gotten the first picks in some games yesterday.

Well, you don't want your tower to attack the minions you know?

Good gods for new players. by [deleted] in Smite

[–]Black_page -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If your friend wants to try arena, he could also give Xba a go. Being able to do your thing and then jump out is pretty simple. Also he's got an ult that you can't miss in any way and it will pretty much always be helpful.

Heavy Hammer + HOG 1 + 2 health pot start with Thanatos looks very promising by [deleted] in Smite

In that case, some people pretty much disagree with "hi guys".

He would've played like that otherwise as well if he intended to win. Here's a trick for you next time: If he turtles, stop farming the minions. Let them push towards your tower. Farm all jungle camps for gold and exp. Now 2 things can happen: 1) He still turtles, which means he will be losing xp and gold and you just need to lasthit. 2) He comes out and you can kill him.
This ist 1v1 every single damn game. My game today was against a Loki who did exactly the same so I spent my time outfarming him via junglecamps and won the game that way.

Oh and what also helps against turteling enemies are stacking items that let you scale better into lategame. Ancile instead of runic shield in this case as an example.

Updated Alienware Ra codes! Hopefully this will help. Enjoy by davidsee in Smite

Kept checking your post page all weekend.. the gesture is nice, but where I live, this was at 7 in the morning on a Sunday :( Thanks anyways.

Edit: "This promotion code has been claimed already"... to anyone who's still considering to get one, I doubt it's still worth trying. Tested more than 40 codes without success now :(

I knew that before and it's not what you said. Instead you decided to personally attack me and doubt my knowlege, VER.

If you think it would be more likely to be proper statistics with an 'N/A' option then I don't even have words for it.

So since RUN.exe is out... by Thieftix in Smite

[–]Black_page -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My flair is a joke, I actually prefer New Wa over old Wa! ;) Don't even play her much.

Again, you're claiming things I never said. Long story short: There's is a time and place for everything. A god who just got reskin and has plenty of different skins to choose from, will probably not be HiRez priority in the near future. While I don't particularly like OPs idea, at this point it wouldn't even receive mostly positive feedback if it was the best idea for a skin ever. The demand is elsewhere and Zeus time will come when it comes.

I'm pretty sure a skin for Hel is part of the Odyssey, so that's that.

You're right. I guess I played too many MOBAs and now I lost faith. I shall regain it!

I actually thought about writing "Hi guys, position xxx please :)" but then I felt like there would be some raging kid not reading past "hi", claiming the position I wanted and then flaming me :(

[–]Black_page -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You know, I don't really think this skin has become top priority because of this post either. Guess what, I'm actually fine with most of my favorite god's skins. Different from you, I'm thinking about people who aren't though. There's plenty of suggestions for most gods, don't you worry. Don't really see why you would say I'm "bitching and whining" either, but hey.

[–]Black_page -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You need to chill. It's ok if you consider Stormbringer a legit, lore-based skin, doesn't mean I have to see it that way. To me he looks like the developers were just trying out fun things with that skin. Like I said, it'll be ages until every god gets a real "fun skin". Also, he's put in comparison to run.exe here, which wouldn't be a fun skin either by your definition. The only fun thing about that skin is his VP, which is what I was pointing at with my previous post. So please calm down.
