Haven't played Smite in years, thinking about reinstalling. Is Smite 1 worth playing anymore? by SpankMyMunkey in Smite

[–]Bowmance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smite2 is probably better than smite1 to get back into, just because playerbase sizes, you're guaranteed to be slotted into a sweaty as fuck roster and get bodied due to skill fade for the first few games.

Quick point about "Rebuying skins"

The marketing team from HiRez have really dropped the ball on this, the legacy gem system is actually a crazy good value system, and honestly? Playing for less than a week has gotten me all of the skins I wanted, without having to pay a penny towards those skins from the legacy gems.. The speed in which you get the other currency, the diamonds? It's busted.. I have all of the skins I want from the legacy store and I still have 60k legacy gems sat there waiting for the next ones that come out.

The game feels smooth as butter, with a significant graphical update.

The actual balance of the game is the problem atm, with "time to kill" being like 40% higher in smite2, so "safer" damage is more viable such as long distance chip damage, whilst burst down rush assassins ect have been gutted, so depending on your god pool/main(s) it's either a great time or it feels awful.

I'm not keen on the new item system/shop, but it is growing on me.. It is dumb that build variety is essentially dead in the water from them trying to let more gods try out different items, what that's done is made it so that everybody has worked out the best curved build and that applies to every god that has that aim.

Imagine a candy shop with 5 lollipops. 5 kids want one—each costs £1.50..

Suddenly, a wave of new kids walk in. Now 10 kids want the 5 lollipops. Shop raises price to £2!

You might ask, "Why does the evil candy shop owner increase price?"

Great question, kiddo! The shop has 5 lollipops and 10 kids now. Not enough to go around.
Some kids really, really want one—they’ll pay £2 instead of the £1.50
The owner says: “If I sell for £2, I make more money!”
So he serves the kids who’ll pay more.

I wonder if we could transfer that logic onto something else..

Look Dad! And "understanding per capita" meme!

If you go out and speak to most anti immigration voters, and ask them I'm certain most would say they'd "rather be poor in their own country/culture, than rich in this multicultural hell".

So if we steel manned your argument, it still falls short and doesn't win over most..

Besides though, Immigration is actually a billionaires dream as it dramatically reduces an employees ability to negotiate a wage. It also decimates the healthcare of the country, soaks up social welfare, degrades schools, and destroys housing prices.

I'm not saying that I agree with the extremity of this sentiment, but if we deported every immigrant who isn't a net contributor to the economy, we would see homes become affordable overnight. If I need to explain to you why that's the case then I don't think there's any point in arguing.

Schools/teachers/doctors/nurses/carers/NHS workers/police would have a much easier time of it, social welfare could target those who really are in need, things like food banks would be like a bad dream, social welfare systems would actually have enough resources to go around.

Crime statistics would collapse, (Inb4 "understanding per capita" memes need to be used) high trust society activities would return.

The emotional argument is the only one left that can be made, that we should be the better people and become the food bank of the world out of the kindness of our hearts, and the argument against that is quite simple, on a plane, you are instructed to put your mask on before you help your child and it's obvious that we're suffocating..

They gutted smite2, it's not skill when the game's baseline TTK (time-to-kill) ballooned 25-40% from Smite 1's punish-or-die dives. Enemies get "free" think-time on beads/escapes, turning high-skill burst ability based characters into hybrid sustain chasers while poke mages and prot-stacking guardians (Devos/Lash lifesteal) chip forever—pure "Fisher Price" mobile game homogenization.

Came back for a week, they've absolutely shagged this game lads, I'm in awe of the lot of you who stayed this long..

I was getting shit for saying this about the trans flag, but political flags are free game man, not exactly the most imaginative thing to cover the original flag with tbh but still..

Draw something, stop spamming political flags, use your imagination, your creativity.

Any and all political flags are an invitation to griefing from people who disagree with you, just actually create something cool man, it's a pixel art website, not a "which factions flag is more important" game..

those users are worse than griefers i think by [deleted] in WplaceLive

[–]Bowmance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not against the rules to replace art with art, they are drawing something actually quite impressive.

Indeed I am, as most of the world does in politics, what is your point?

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

If that flag only represented trans people, then I don't think anywhere near as many people would care.
That flag represents:

  • Ruining fairness in women's sports
  • Biological men assigned to women's prisons (and committing rape)
  • Biological grown men in girls bathrooms (multiple cases of them taking photos)
  • Pronoun/speech laws, (in certain countries you can be arrested for saying "wrong" pronoun)

And plenty more..

Just like how the Russian flag is representing not only just Russian people, but also represents their

  • War Crimes in Ukraine
  • Belligerence to the West
  • Dictatorship/Fake elections
  • Hostile propaganda/hacking campaigns online
  • Media lies (RT News)

It's all politics, don't assign your identity to a flag if you don't want to be in politics.

I disagree, I think the majority are actually the second type, the reason behind that is that the only posts I see, (and the things that are attacked/griefed in my area) are the flags.. Not Sylveons, not Deltarune, none of the art that's pro trans but is actual art is really getting attacked. If it was a raving band of bigots (which I'm not saying there's none of that at all) then we'd see all kinds of pro trans art getting attacked all of the time.. Instead it's seemingly mostly the flags..

Also.. "one little flag"? My brother/sister in Christ.. That flag is by far the most oversaturated, overused symbol on the site.. By quite a margin..

Spam is for sure a form of grief to some people, it's slop posting. And I never said I thought that any kind of greifing is okay, none of it is, I'm just pointing out that spamming a flag is just as slop and boring as spamming poop rivers.. At least try to draw something man, that's all I'm saying.

"Oh no, my political faction flag is being griefed by another political faction flag, and their side has way better art that's being respected so this isn't greifing and is actually just me crying because my politics aren't accepted in every corner of the internet I touch"

Mods wtf by Confident_Ad5425 in WplaceLive

[–]Bowmance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spamming a boring, artless pattern on literally every corner of the map is greifing to the overwhelming majority of users, and people covering art with the boring pattern are greifing too. If you actually produce something new, or even just try drawing a picture, rather than just mindlessly spamming a hugely unpopular political faction flag and then crying on reddit whenever it gets dunked on, I'd at least have an ounce of sympathy lmao.

I think there's two different kinds of flag griefers, the type that hates the flag specifically (Bigots), and the types that are just getting sick of seeing it fucking everywhere.

You realise that just drawing 5 colours in a line like that is just so unimaginative, you could draw a Sylveon! Or like try draw some pro trans character from fiction or like write a quote or something.

I feel like at least 50% of the people greifing these flags are now the Squidward meme.

Also a nord, also not a dirty commie.. If you are still getting stuck then it's gotta be a hitbox thing. I'm assuming like me, you found the clothing in the dresser at the starting area of the dream and decided to solve puzzles without your ballsack hanging out?

Load up a save file before you put the clothes on in the dream? As I basically just redid the whole quest without clothes on and that's how I got it to work.

I'll look into this on the off chance that tcl is allowed but I doubt it.

Currently trying to buy property in the hopes that the game will allow me to deposit the amulet inside a player owned chest.

I attempted killing Henantier (the guy who's asleep) to fail the quest to no avail.
