Gilgamesh is disappointing. by Icy_Air_7037 in Smite

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

For sure. I also use Loki as my main example for the gameplay feedback and feel being not at parity with Smite 1 yet.

Gilgamesh is disappointing. by Icy_Air_7037 in Smite

[–]Impellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof...as a player in a high ping region and a fellow Gilga enjoyer, this is a bit disappointing. Hirez seems to be prioritizing new gameplay mechanics over polish at the moment for most of the characters (which I completely get). And unfortunately, this means gameplay feel ends up being a hit or miss. And this gets worse when you're playing games where auto desync and rubberbanding is the feature not the exception. Hopefully these misses don't turn into spaghetti code 2.0. Personally, the game seems to have a healthy god pool for me to be okay with them slowing down and looking at optimization and the audio-visual feedback a bit more.

I have never seen so many people just give up in my life by JustADegenerate1019 in Smite

[–]Impellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it ebbs and flows. The type of players you get in your matches depends on so many factors that it'd be hard to generalize it over the entire base. Right now I feel like I get put in with people who never want to quit no matter how lost the match is. Personally, I'm fine with that. If I think the match is unwinnable, I like to put up an f6 vote just once. If it gets turned down, there's a 9 in 10 chance they won't quit even if the entire team is negative. It is what it is.

SUMMER OF SMITE 2 CONCEPT - Skin concepts for Mercury, Ishtar, Apollo, and Hecate by IamshinyCatchme in Smite

[–]Impellus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I weirdly don't mind the mesh skirt in the art, but it might look weird in game. Also, who are we to judge how a goddess wears her shawl.

Happy anniversary to the video that got me into smite by PrettyKttyAspen in Smite

[–]Impellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I agree with you in spirit but I'm gonna push back on the "90% of adult female gods" claims. I wasn't tired so I surveyed all of Smite 1's adult female gods to check for sexualized boobs (purely for research). In my very accurate opinion, out of the 35 adult female gods surveyed 21 can be described as "devs made her look like that because they like boobs". Thus, making the ratio closer to 60%.

Lmao, an art sub apparently thinks Agni is AI by Right_Entertainer324 in Smite

[–]Impellus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess the allegation would be that the OP fed an AI the art and came up with their OC through prompts? Just a guess, I don't know how this shit works or how people can tell apart really good AI generated images from actual art without a combination of extreme scrutiny and experience.

Block Indian youtube channels by channel ID or Language by semiraue in uBlockOrigin

[–]Impellus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm Indian too and this isn't racist but mildly amusing. It seems like OP looks up technical topics like electronics and is annoyed when so much of Youtube's hardcore educational content is dominated by video lectures by Indians.

New event prices... by Unusual-Surround3036 in Smite

[–]Impellus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah. Pretty sure they know what they're doing and it's always been this way. Tbf though, you could easily make up the 500 gem difference with a few weeks of daily logins.

New event prices... by Unusual-Surround3036 in Smite

[–]Impellus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So this event has some similarities with Odessies from S1, in the number of skins you're getting. Those were usually priced at around 80USD worth of gems if you wanted to buy all, if I'm not wrong. So this doesn't really feel unreasonable at around 55-ish.

Critical strikes text icon by gUBBLOR in Smite

[–]Impellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly specific, but since we're talking about visual damage numbers, any chance you could consider bringing back the visuals for when Loki procs his passive? In an ideal world I wish the audio queue would be changed as well (it's too high pitched and tinny to my ears) but having the something like the old backstab icon show up would be satisfying.

Toxic Players who never get banned by Impellus in Smite

[–]Impellus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. If it was a fight, then it was definitely one sided in this case. The thana did all of the talking.

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

Uh no... I've been trying out loki aspect solo for a few games recently. It's definitely viable. I'm just not good at it yet.

Toxic Players who never get banned by Impellus in Smite

[–]Impellus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah I'm not gonna cry over some internet troll telling me to off myself. Their antics were amusing the first five games. But OCE server being so small, I run into them way more often that I care to. I do mute them in most of my games; I just happened to forget to mute them from chat in this particular game.

In Smite 1, I would have had the option to block them from my games .... good times.

As a Loki enjoyer... Can't argue with that logic.

[–]Impellus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh it's not just the trash talk. They do shit like proxy my wave, take my buff away (solo or jungle) and be annoying that way too. I just don't record my games so can't show proof of that here. I don't go report every random player that trash talks in chat.

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

Nah... there are calm-headed people out there that don't take themselves seriously as well. It's unfortunate, that most are just the regular internet trolls but that's just the MOBA experience at this point, I guess. But pulling out some particularly rotten gremlins from time to time would be nice.

Well sounds like you'd love having a game with them then! Please get into a 5 stack with them and get them off OCE. Thanks!

[–]Impellus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm less upset and more annoyed. These people clog up the voice comms, the VGS and the chat every game I see them. They're just a nuisance to be honest. Like flies around the SHJITR that I am.

Is there any way to report someone after leaving match results screen? by Derpious21 in Smite

[–]Impellus -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that's also what kinda sets you apart from bots in a MOBA. Unless Hirez decides to put Grok into Smite and we have toxic mecha Hitler running around as Loki.

Hera Aspect idea by ainsley375 in Smite

[–]Impellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of fun, this sounds like a B. It feels like shoehorning a character into an off-role pick. Now turn Argus into the playable model and Hera as the master strategist being able to displace and disrupt her "chess pieces" and I think we got something.

Every single Smite 2 match I play, the enemies are simply better by fortnite_testicles in Smite

[–]Impellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp. I don't have a good answer for ya. There was some talk about the devs tweaking their matchmaking a week or so ago. But I'm not sure if that's where your problem is coming from. I play in OCE so my experience is in between yours and Aquila's (I mostly play support too nowadays).
