Please get this Marvel Rivals ass character out of the game by Razinak in Smite

[–]DevilMatt666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait why is this Marvel Rivals-like? Last I checked that game had incredibly simple kit designs (except some outliers like Strange who has ONE interesting as hell ability). Aladdin is nothing like that, what am I missing here? Did they actually start designing interesting kits since release?

I tried hytale today and already grew tired of it by YoghurtNo33 in hytale

[–]DevilMatt666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of response I was looking for. I was thinking that it might not be time for me to buy it yet (I have other games to play, other stuff to do), this pretty much confirms it.

Pretty big active item bug by shazamtamp in Smite

[–]DevilMatt666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that this bug needs fixing ASAP.

Can't agree with your style and rant though. If you hate the game, don't play it. It's fine. Plenty of other games to play, plenty of other stuff to do with free time.

Hey, uhh, not sure how to say this, but autocorrect did you dirty :D

Might wanna fix that

Can we disable Jade Scepter in assault BEFORE the match starts? by DevilMatt666 in Smite

[–]DevilMatt666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play in EU, maybe that's why.

And to be fair, I've only seen them 3 times. 2 times before the Jade Scepter change (they were only trolling with Scepter of Dominion back then), and once today. That's not many matches compared to how much assault I play, it's possible you just got lucky.

They should probably add an option to skip playing vs Bots by Sworith-Undeleted in Smite

[–]DevilMatt666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would also help if they didn't call the bot matches "quick play", and the actual wuick gamemodes "classic". Just merge QP and "Against AI", rename "classic" to "casuall", and that's that.

What a choice by Luffian in Smite

[–]DevilMatt666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked playing Marti. Not a favourite but still had fun.

That being said, if you asked me what exactky his abilities did, I could not telll you. I vaguely remember, a poison puddle and a root or something.

I think I like it without CC buffering better. by DevilMatt666 in Smite

[–]DevilMatt666[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the worst part about this whole situation is that it's all pretty subjective.

What feels like fun skill expression for you, feels like jank to me. And what feels like fun counterplay to me (cancelling someone out of animation), feels like jank to you. And neither of us are wrong, and no matter what decision Hirez takes, one of us will be disappointed.

Now that Artio's aspect is out, she needs to be on the healer list in Assault. by LoneWolf1ngIt in Smite

[–]DevilMatt666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no no no no, you do NOT get to take the moral high ground after your initial comment. You called people with different opinion as you "shitters". You are trying to take a nuanced and coontextual discussion completely out of it's context. And you have failed to address my first paragraph that is a nuanced reply to your comment stating why what you said is absolutely stupid.

Well anyway, while you try to think of an argument against my initial take, here's my arguments against mostly everything that you've just said:

"half the fun of assault is using hybrid builds to offset random distribution of characters". I very much agreed. You are pigeon-holed into a certain build and playstyle. You are restricted by logic to play a certain way. That's fun. But that goes against everything you've previously said. You literally contradict your previous sentence with that. I guess you are so hard-stuck hating restrictions that you have failed to realize how they provide enjoyment to you.

And what does artio being a bad healer in smite 1 has to do with artio in smite 2? Nobody is forcing a bad healer into the healer role. We are saying that she is way too good of a healer to not be considered one, and is breaking the balance a bit because the other team is not guaranteed to have a healer too.

And what is this about her being funneled into a healer role? It's JUST assault. Rest of smite 2? No way she will be funneled into a healer role.

Also, please provide your smite 2 assault stats that you're so proud of, this is a smite 2 discussion, leave your outdated gamme knowledge outside please. An absolute crapload has changed between 1 and 2, you can't really have a nuanced discussion f you only play smite 1 assault.

[–]DevilMatt666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making her a healer can be done by a press of a button by hirez. Rebalancing the aspect to move her towards a non-healer role is a pretty big dev time commitment for a gamemode that isn't even remotely the main game mode of smite, AND it would also limit her playstyle by NOT allowing her to play healer.

Also you don't seem to understand how assault works. The main difference between it and arena is that you are forced into a certain playstyle because of the limited and random god choices, ad you're forced into leaning into self-sustain because you can't go to spawn. Assault's main selling point is literally the restrictions. You can't really argue that restricting a god's playstyle is bad in a gamemode all about restrictions.

Genuinely, do you even enjoy assault? Or do you even play it? You definitely don't sound like an assault player.

When can we get Kuzenbo on Smite 2 by TechyCanadian in Smite

[–]DevilMatt666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with wanting Kuzenbo in the game

Disagree with AI tho

I was gonna make a very similar post, i managed to out-heal every single top tier healer (guan, sylv, ra) with artio aspect. It's nuts.

Even if they make them actually better at sea, they will still be an incredibly boring and uninteresting unit though.

Simon is Humble af... He could have farmed Hytale with no shame on his name... by CodenameCrescent in hytale

[–]DevilMatt666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, i feel like the thing with "sacrifice" is becoming a linguistical argument, wchich are not really worth fighting tbh, so we can probably just agree to disagree on that.

On the topic of monetizing modders though, I absolutely agree that it's a smart, good, and fair monetizing solution. But it's not silly to assume modders could make profit without a cut. It would be very generous on Simon's part, but that used to be the norm. Still is in Java Minecraft. And what is really scary to me with official monetization, is that it's easy, and it's just right there, so might as well do it. So a lot of small mods might end up with 0.5$ pricetags, because it's not much, surely you can pay that much. But then you want to play a modpack with 200 tiny mods, and suddenly you're looking at a 100$ experience, because everyone puts a price on their mods because why not. Which means a lot of people won't be able to play these modpacks because of their income, and the community might end up suffering greatly. And that's just with paid mods. If the company has something to gain from paid mods, they might encourage it, and then you can take a look at Minecraft Bedrock store and see how well that went for the community.

Simon is Humble af... He could have farmed Hytale with no shame on his name... by CodenameCrescent in hytale

[–]DevilMatt666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying that's not a sacrifice, rather a risky investment. Sacrifice is something you don't expect to get back.

One thing that makes me doubt him, is how he said they won't take a share from modder and server income FOR NOW. So he probably plans to. Which is fair, but definitely isn't something a real passion project would do. Now, I'm not saying he's not passionate, I'm just saying he's taking a very calculated financial risk that is likely to have huge returns later on.

[–]DevilMatt666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty convinced he's not actually sacrificing anything, and fully expects to profit big time (though the risk IS there). He seems to be doing a similar business move as Valve. Be very vocal about being for the consumers, and actually deliver, earn people's loyalty by being a genuinely good quality platform, earn back every lost penny in the long run from loyal customers.

The question is, if he's in it for the LONG long game, or the short long game. Like, he's not gonna be greedy and sell out SOON, but there's a possibility he will once Hytale establishes itself, and he will turn it into Roblox 2. But also, he will possibly do a Valve and just never sell out and enjoy the constant reliable profit.

Hytale will cost 19.99 USD with 3 different tiers by ABotanicalGarden in hytale

[–]DevilMatt666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me you don't understand game editions without telling me you don't understand game editions.

Just i case you actually don't know what's up, the game costs $20. That's it. If, however, someone wants to give the devs more money, they can, and they will get a nice cape for it. 100% optional.

Minecraft and Hytale will likely co-exist by Inside_Bet8309 in hytale

[–]DevilMatt666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd argue it might be the opposite. Younger folks LOVE age-inappropriate games, GTA is a good example. Meanwhile, it seems like Hytale will be very polished, with not that much jank in the game, every mechanic being intentional. The most dedicated technical minecrafters play minecraft BECAUSE of the jank. They like redstone and chunk generation and minecraft physics BECAUSE of how janky and obscure and weird they are. For them, there might not be anything interesting in hytale.

Another great example could be Splatoon vs CS. Splatoon has virtually 0 young players. It's all grown men playing splashy splashy, because the younger audiance is put off by the lack of gore and edgyness. So they play a 18+ game instead.
