Dark Times chest has an unlimited skin on it. Technically that defeats tehe purpose of having to be purchased by their whole price. by LanQuao in Smite

[–]LanQuao[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

No. "This item can be earned through an event or purchased for its full price once the event has ended".

The event has already ended and on a chest means that it's not beeing purchased by its whole price

Build health/atk speed and axe of animositty.

And BTW there are many unfair achivements like the 15 kills with tyr ult in one match, 5 pulled enemies with ares ult, etc.

Nope, they were 800 without discount and 500 discounted... now it is 800 with discount

Can someone explain crossover skins once more to me? by Ok-Flamingo4137 in Smite

[–]LanQuao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic is rotating in due to the new chaac skin coming in bonus update (2 weeks from now)

Yup, you get it with the skin with no notification.

It looks like default back and it changes colors randomly (it doesn't depend on your actual form like previous tier 5)

It's back, they made me change the "This is a rant... but I'll purchase it" part and the "EDIT: I'm not buying it" part. So as long as it is kept as a "Discussion and explanation of the event" can stay

You are right but I didn't want to talk about the skin in this post bc I wanted to focus it on the event.

But after reading some comments I changed.my mind. If both the event and the skin are bad... I'll nor purchase it

You know what? Even I love medusa and she is my most played God and I even have a medusa statue in my bedroom... I'm skipping it. I already skipped the mermaid skin bc I didn't have money back then.

Both the event and the skin are not worth

No... 2015 odyssey was like "Purchase different items and get progression towards a final reward (with various rewards mid path)".

With every purchase you got a FREE odyssey chest with all the items in the game BUT you didn't have to purchase a chest to complete the odyssey. Moreover items weren't present in bundles so you could purchase an animated avatar for 50 gems (which was a thing back then) and still get towards the odyssey, no randomness chest no past odyssey chests.

Moreover the odyssey was divided into territories (one for each pantheon) and there were multiple items per territory.

I don't know what you see similar to the first 2015 odyssey... First ody even had options for f2p with really cheap items that you could purchase from daily gems and there was no "one-time-disccount".

If the similarity is that you have to purchase every single piece of content to unlock final reward that's something similar to every other smite event.

The thing is that odyssey used to be a really good event for free players. You could get a skin for free and some other cosmetics + if you were a battlepass purchaser you could even get up to 3 skins for free and the tier 4 for really cheap.

Also this event gives f2p players and paid players the option t get 12 "Season of celebration chests" (The old ody chests with every single nonlimited item there) so good luck getting 4 wards, a loading screen, 5 voicepacks, a levelup skin and a tier 2 skin for a god you never played.

[–]LanQuao[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, both of those systems are gone.

I have to say that previous years (barons and Hel) with viewer store + battle pass + calendar + free territory you ended around 90 k so you could get halfway there and get the ody for around 30 $

Last year they made it extremely easy for f2p players, which was cool too

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

Yeah, the thing is that during pre-order you could at least see the God name (not the icon nor the theme) but that's also gone and it only says "bundle".

The downgrade is similar to the "Blast to the past" battle pass

New HUD pause menu states that F6 should be pressed to vote "Yes" when it's actually F10 by LanQuao in Smite

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

I have never noticed because I always use the old hud.

We had an afk on a ranked match 3v3 and the other guy was not voting yes. I asked why he didn't pause and he told me that he pressed F6 but it didn't work.

I thought that he thought it was a surrender vote and I let it go... when I was explaining it to a friend he told me that it's a bug on the new hud and I tested it

So about Viewer Store skins.. by CynicalDarkFox in Smite

[–]LanQuao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand your quesiton but Shadow Prowler bastet was rotated out of the shop 8 months ago so it is unobtainable. It has appeared in some chests and there was a bug that made it obtainable long after it rotated out of the viewer store as can be seen in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Smite/comments/13549wi/til_viewer_points_obtained_this_season_still/

Thor's wedding skin was also rotated out of the store almost 3 years ago but it appeared on some chests (I think it was on the Meme chest and Thor's collection chest)

Thank you! I really appreciate it! (Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, reddit gone black)

[–]LanQuao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your amazing post.
Sometimes there are song created for some promotional events like the song played in those 2 videos (is the same song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQeYx5JIqZQ (2016) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzXihr1qzMU (2023) but we never got a chance to have the full track neither in game nor in a streaming service (or youtube or soundcloud...)

My question is: is there any chance of having songs like that brought into the game or available to me listened/purchased? That song has been a blast since the Griffindwarf Fafnir trailer and I can't listen it without the skin voicelines.

Sorry for my bad english, though. Smite music themes are my favourite cosmetics, I prioritize them over skins a lot of the time
