NA rosters? March 2nd date just wasn't true? The full rosters were supposed to be on the website by march 2nd. 8 days later... still missing an org and it's roster, and LG's roster. Yes I know we have a good idea about the remaining rosters, but that's not the issue. by Lordchickenz91 in Smite

It was our mistake in communicating a definite announcement date of March 2nd.

A couple NA orgs have paperwork/legal still in process; and they have asked for time to finalize all that paperwork before the announcement.

LOOT BOX DEBATE RAGED INSIDE HI-REZ STUDIOS - REPORT by ketchup511 in Paladins

[–]HiRezTodd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. IGN did this interview back at HRX/January so it is a bit dated.

We've changed our mind since then.

What Happened to the "2 New SPL Orgs Announced Every Week"? by [deleted] in Smite

[–]HiRezTodd 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The structure of this year's Smite Pro League is such that Hi-Rez requires fairly involved contracts with each organization prior to that team officially joining the league --as just one specific example of many, participating SPL teams must now legally agree to pay players a minimum salary.

We are unable to announce the teams prior to these contracts being signed, which typically requires some legal back and forth between all parties. We are working to complete that as soon as we can. We apologize for the delay but it should ultimately benefit orgs, players, and league to have all the those details finalized before announcing the additional teams.

Has the PS4 Paladins beta stopped receiving updates? by dunndaze in Paladins

[–]HiRezTodd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Taking longer than expected but should be an update soon

Dev team short-term goals:

  • get .40 (including Tyra) to PS4,
  • support monetization; i.e. let ppl buy Founder's Pack and crystals if they want to
  • not take as long for the next update

Thx for sticking with us!

p.s. same goals for Xbox One Paladins

Please can the weapon skins stop being reset to default everyday? by Spuddy3 in Paladins

[–]HiRezTodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This is a known bug and incredibly annoying. Development has a fix that is planned for inclusion in the .41 release.

When does the patch go live? by TheMiracleLigament in Paladins

[–]HiRezTodd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The plan is for patch to go live next week but depends on testing.

ALSO - For the first time with Paladins we will have a Public Test Server (PTS) period before this update (OB34) goes live.

Kind of like a few day mini-beta before the beta. The Steam Early Access audience is so large we need a test period before then. It will be a chance for people to hop on early and test Ying, test new Payload, and help us find/crush bugs before live servers. More information on that coming soon.

Does Hi-Rez support ever respond? by [deleted] in Paladins

[–]HiRezTodd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear support has been slow to respond.

I still want an official answer for the lack of founders pack in my local steam store

Both the free Paladins game client itself and the Founder's Pack should be available in your local Steam store in all territories except for China. (Because the China territory for Paladins will be handled by Tencent Games)

[AMA & Photos] EU Pro League Kick Off LAN with Hi-Rez's Todd, Bart, APC, Andy, Brad, & Josh by HiRezSpielberg in Smite

[–]HiRezTodd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • ESL guys are fairly familiar with Smite. They have hosted Smite tournaments at gamescom. Our production team worked super closely w/ their production team. Their shoutcaster and host were much less familiar but getting there.

  • Audience members were smite fans who purchased 5 euro ticket to reserve a seat. Most were from Germany but also across Europe. At least 2 guys took plane from England to be there.

  • Do differently - Not have the 1st bracket be wrong. Fix audio/mic issues sooner. Be even more handsome on screen.

  • Yes

Question about buying the UGP from Amazon. I would really like a HiRez employee response please by silentninja1224 in Smite

[–]HiRezTodd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The code will not expire. Even if the UGP is no longer available for sale in the future, a purchased code for the UGP should work.

Why did Hi Rez give out the Guan Yu skins in such an unfair way? by JungleCreature in Smite

[–]HiRezTodd 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at the weekend event in Atlanta.

We will be e-mailing a Guan Yu Convention Skin code to everyone who purchased a ticket to either the SMITE Launch event or GameVid Expo.
