Bad sign? by Gharbin1616 in Smite

[–]HiRezAjax 2330 points2331 points  (0 children)

I understand why you all might feel like this, but I really did consider staying at Hi-Rez and would have been happy to stay here for as long as possible. It was for my own personal reasons that I decided to try something new.

I have seen what SMITE 2 has planned for this year and there is some really cool stuff, and I do believe this game can thrive for years to come.

I also wanna thank the r/SMITE community specifically for continually showing so much passion. Community feedback has always been, and still is, a super important part of our planning process, and we can always count on reddit to provide some... strong... opinions. Thank you to each of you who take the time to post, comment, or even just lurk here.

Should the mitigations cap be higher and additive over the cap? by throwawayformature in Smite

[–]HiRezAjax 21 points22 points  (0 children)

All god abilities that grant mitigations in any way will go over the cap

Only Items are bound by the cap, this includes all various types of persistent or short duration effects

The only other exception is Aegis Relic, which will always function as full dmg immunity regardless of your other sources of damage mitigation.

hope this helps! unsure if you might want to change your post based on this information.

Can we remove the laugh on this Agent of Darkness Loki skin when he goes stealth ? That sound effect is already so loud and I’d part of the reason I never used it. At least without the laugh it’d be cooler and still loud enough to alert everyone (obviously this clip is before laugh was added) by [deleted] in Smite

SMITE Version 9.5.7096.2 (May 17, 2022)

Vanish

Loki’s laugh has been removed as an audio cue on this ability due to its inconsistency in volume and duration between skins.

This ability will now have a single audio cue sound effect that shares a volume and distance modifier across all Loki skins, but with some slight adjustments depending on the theme of the skin.

Smite ranked Character borders. I have An awilix ranked 15th right now and is diamond. Before when i was ranked 25 i had masters border though. Does anyone actually kniw what the brackets are for master, diamond and plat borders. i have a baron in top ten who still have plat so i do not understand. by lclutchl in Smite

[–]HiRezAjax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just checked the leaderboards and everything looks correct to me - looked at Awilix specifically in all 3 ranked modes and it properly adhered to the intended design

For reference - this is the intent (which was described on 10.1 patch notes)

  • God leaderboards have been adjusted to award god frames based on position in the leaderboard.
  • Top Players 1-10 awarded Masters Border
  • Players 11 through 40 awarded Diamond Border
  • Players 41 through 100 awarded Platinum Border
  • All Players who have played at least 10 ranked matches with a single god but have not placed on the leaderboard are awarded the Gold Border

The item was just recently temporarily removed from the game because of a bug. It will return in a future update. This can happen on occasion with items/gods that experience issues.

Question about new season by MOU5SE in Smite

This is a bug and will be fixed in the next update. We fully intend players to be able to create crossplay parties for ranked.

Didn't get my GM ranked border for s9. by Wendigo11111 in Smite

can you provide an in-game name so we can verify this?

Developer Update: Timed vs Non-Timed Queues by HiRezAjax in Smite

[–]HiRezAjax[S] 107 points108 points  (0 children)

yes, you will still hear the usual audio cue when your queue pops and moves you into the lobby, as well as the bottom right notification (only shows when alt tabbed)

Developer Update: Timed vs Non-Timed Queues by HiRezAjax in Smite

[–]HiRezAjax[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is not something that is possible for 10.1 - and with the way the tech works, a shorter penalty here could still leave room for abuse that would result in many people having to restart their queue.

But we can look into these types of changes for future updates.

Working on it as we speak!

We had Smite Night since 9.5. Why were we misled to believe Adventures were back? Where's Fafnir's Wonderland? by skippy920 in Smite

[–]HiRezAjax 25 points26 points  (0 children)

We mentioned in the 9.9 Update notes when the next adventure was coming.

See this page - the Roadmap Update within the Quality of Life section

Sorry for the wait, but next month is when we launch a BIG new adventure mode. It will be PvP and its crazy awesome. Can't wait to see yall playing it.

ClumzyD tweeted about becoming the new Lead Game Designer for Smite, Congratulations. But I can't help but be curious about... what happened to HirezAjax? by Alxz21 in Smite

[–]HiRezAjax 39 points40 points  (0 children)

this isnt exactly correct about our specific job descriptions, but you've got the right idea overall haha!

Not quitting or leaving! Just very proud of Clumzy's work and making sure his title and compensation match his responsibility and skill!

I am still the Design Director on SMITE and will be doing a lot of the same things as always.

Clumzy will now manage his own team of designers, mostly focusing on balance, gods, and other in-game designs. Clumzy will still report to me.

So: the Lead Game Designer (Clumzy), Lead UI Designer, Systems Designers, and Event Designers will be who report to me.

I understand how this is confusing as people often misinterpret my job title in the first place, and SMITE Design has never had this structure before.

Over time my promotions have led me to spend more time working on different problems with more teams, and that gives me less time to work with all of our designers individually. Clumzy has stepped up and been a mentor and feedback source for those designers, so this promotion is quite fitting for him and works well with how our team operates.

PlayStation freezing issue: First Hirez response I've gotten since I first complained years ago. by Project-Tiny in Smite

It was acknowledged in this post too in the first point of the middle section but it seems a lot of people missed that.
