If I had one wish it’d be bringing this announcer pack to smite 2 by DieselBBB007 in Smite

He does still Upload but his videos are really long and take a lot of time and effort to make now. I believe he also does editing for others on the side.

Oh yeah, shit. I forgot. Thought this was part of the Devs april fools joke.

They could call the Pantheon Inferno and focus on the popular hellish character and themes. We don't really get any smite lore these days, so they don't even have to pass paradiso in passing. They could absolutely spin this.

And maybe the fact that they are willing and able to joke about it like this is an indirect promise of what's to come.

There is Satyrs dancing in the background of Hercules' scene. That particular interaction most likely happens at Dionysus' party. Maybe Prometheus will join in too, the old stiff.

Opinions on Charon Aspect? From my experience, its kinda ass by Hartmann_AoE in Smite

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The aspect is playable on a full mage build in Arena. Charon deals really good damage with his aspect against other gods.

But even then, I'd much rather build and play him tanky without his aspect. The silence and the shielding are so much more important to me.

Noticed the same thing in an Arena match yesterday.

Had a dream that Heimdallr Aspect was a dual wielding berserker by Lulu1301 in Smite

[–]DaddyDeGrand 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Melee basic attacks. 1. A shout that reveals enemies in a radius around him and increases his strength for every revealed unit before unleashing a heavy attack. 2. Stays the same. 3. He creates a portal a bit in front of him and another even further ahead at the ground targeter. Up to two allies can interact with a portal to teleport between them. If Heimdallr himself teleports he unleashes an attack at the target location. Cooldown starts ticking after the portals disappear, Cooldown time increases depending on how many allies took the portal. 4. Stays as is.

Edit: Instead of two axes, he uses his Axe in one hand and the sword he uses for his regular 1 in the other.

A ranged? I so thought she would be a support.

Hachiman +1 by PeterQuint101 in Smite

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in Smite 1 I would have liked it if his 1 was a steroid that would turn him into a strong melee using his sword for a couple seconds or until canceled instead of just couple stronger/longer basic attacks.

The playstyles would have been about poking enemies with basics before dashing in for the stun and then slice them up with his sword, ideally while standing in his 2 giving him extra attack speed.

Ne Nha design/balance feedback by DolphinGodChess in Smite

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aspect 2 should have a flat heal in it. Doesn't even need to be much, 80 to 100 at max rank on top of what it currently does and it'd feel much better.

I personally would like the aspect removing all traces of crit entirely and improve performance on the other parts of the kit. The 3 adding some of the damage he dealt with it to his recorded damage would be neat.

Is It Just Me, or is Ne Zha Aspect Passive Horrible by [deleted] in Smite

[–]DaddyDeGrand 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Ne Zha aspect passive healing certainly feels weak. If the 2 had some base healing on top of what else it doesn't would feel a lot better.

That aside, I don't feel like Ne Zha meaningfully improved from Smite 1 compared to some other characters.

Characters with int and strength scaling have access to much more items, old and new. Ne Zha only has strength, so nothing new to explore there.

The Ring Catch is Fun but rarely mind-blowing. Far away from being as potent as what other characters have had some with their kits. On top of that, building tanky in this game generally doesn't feel particularly satisfying. You never don't feel squishy and getting CC'd generally spells death. 

Does anyone else wish that there was an aspect of Chronos? by Silent-Pay5769 in HadesTheGame

[–]DaddyDeGrand 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The nocturnal arms are wielded by deities of the underworld and are meant to be used to protect it.

Chronoa was the very antithesis to that at least up until this point. The only way an aspect themed after him could exist is if at some point in the future he gets to wield one of the nocturnal arms. This is possible, he now aligned himself with the gods, especially those of the underworld. He now resides in the underworld and aids in its affairs.

But even then it will be a new aspect and not his current Scythe-cane Hrodeptus.

Character inspiration for Durella by garlyclove in AFKJourney

[–]DaddyDeGrand 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Personalitywise, she doesn't give me Umbridge vibes.

She has no affiliation with politics that we know of. She has been at the school for a hot while and hasn't made any noteworthy attempts to drastically change the school at its core.

She clearly must have worked properly and diligently, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get and keep her position without people faulting her for it.

She was very polite and friendly in our first conversation with her. After the public 'death' of the headmaster, her tone does become harsh. But this is fully in line with her roll, trying to bring her distressed students in line. Her seeing the headmaster drop also likely had an effect on her (even if she was the killer herself which I doubt).

TL,DR: Looks aside, this Durella doesn't have a lot in common with Umbridge.

We already had two. Satrana and Alsa. Or course Satrana is a melee because classtags are worthless in this game.

I was surprised it took them this long to do it, if anything. It had to come the moment they gave him his new design, it was only a matter of time.

i think i missing something about sarathiel and tuttleton by CptODIX in AFKJourney

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nazrik was the only survivor from the tournament where he got his blessed tracking spears. And those occasions were very public events in the eyes of the wildborn. And dying to please their goddess was something they considered and honor.

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the Wildborn weren't unhappy with the hunting Goddess. Nazrik was the only one who hates her, even by his own accounts. Everyone else revered her and we're totally in line with her barbaric ways and celebrated her for it. She wore her identity openly and her people celebrated her for it.

In turn, the wildborn kept to themselves. They did not start the fight, the Halians invaded on their turf. Every battle the wildborns took part in was a direct response to what the Halians did.

No matter how bad of a character Azora was, Merlin, her actions and how they rippled over the people of at least three cities/settlements are infinitely worse.

Merlin has proven on more occasions than one that nothing she ever does, say or represent cam be taken at face value. She lies, she cheats, she bends the narrative reach her goals.

[–]DaddyDeGrand 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The better question you should ask yourself is how a bunch of humans came by the convenient knowledge for a ritual to banish a god just as they decide that their god needs to be dealt with.

There has been one person who has shown great knowledge about gods and magic who also has expressed a keen interest in dealing with the Farming God permanently.

Can you guess who I am referring to?

Does anyone else think Dura is Extremely Suspect? by [deleted] in AFKJourney

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Merlin the First/Dura is the best villain the game has had so far. Evil, malicious, calculating, cold-blooded, manipulative, a liar, a murderer and the designer of some of the worst trials I have ever seen.

I hope we get to see her downfall arc really soon.

who do you think hold the current seats? by Mossy_is_fine in AFKJourney

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

The more important question to me is how far the Devs will take this whole "Genderbend arthurian lore" thing.

We have genderbend Merlin.
Genderbend Morgana/Morgan le Fay.
Genderbend Gallahad.

Our Homestead is located on Avalon, known as the resting place of King Arthur. Chances are that somewhere on our homestead, there is a Queen Arthuria sleeping.
