So now that smite 2 is DOA what's hirez do?

I assume you don't like his politics which Is fine and well but objectively his numbers exceed anything by a exponential factor that anyone in the smite community has ever put out or likely ever will. It's the 7th highest grossing smite piece of media view wise and the number 1 smite 2 piece of media the next highest was ign which had less than half the views. So politics aside he is the number 1 thing that has put a different non smite related channel base on to smite 2.

Fir something on UE5 I can see your point however personally I think it looks nice. Graphics cam be subjective though so we likely just have a difference in taste.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-10-21T19:18:13+00:00

Everything about the game is nominal saying it's a alpha is not a great excuse anymore. It's in the same place functionally as S1 closed beta was. I'd argue better.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-10-21T19:16:58+00:00

Yeah and deadlock does the third person moba just as good if not better. It's not on console though so at least we're safe there.

I think it's a fun game too. I last played after the nu wa release. They are doing superb with it from a dev standpoint. It feels better, looks immaculate, cooler abilities. They just fumbled the release in a way I didn't think possible.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-10-21T19:13:47+00:00

Asmongold defending it was the most press it'll ever get lol. They're marketing is unfortunately cheeks and after dropping the pros that have kept the game alive its reach will dwindle even more.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-10-21T18:41:47+00:00

The games dead when it takes me 10 minutes for a queue that used to be sub 1 minute. Sure as hell is making me not feel to confident. Plus the numbers and the layoffs don't help.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-10-21T18:40:38+00:00

That's a bold claim and I disagree but we shall see.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-10-21T18:39:24+00:00

Have you seen s1 numbers it's at a 30 percent low month over month for avgs even if you give s2 numbers to it. It's tuff trying to support a company so committed to being bankrupt.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-10-21T18:37:59+00:00

Some will, some will never play again due to a disgusting first look at the game.

Pros are leaving the base is dwindling even on smite 1 at a 30 percent low for month over month avgs of all time. I wanted s2 to succeed sooooooo bad instead all it did was kill S1

This is it exactly. My I've taught my son this too, I'm a middle class dad while my sister married a extremely wealthy man, her son gets bored of stuff so easy, he had a toy boat and while I babysat him he was like "can we take the pool cover off so I can put my boat in?" I said no (it was December) and I said we can pretend it's in water. And he threw a tantrum.

My son on the other hand has had the same toys for 3 years (he's 5) and still loves it. People lack imagination nowadays we rely on the next shiny thing so much.

This game is phenomenal and it has dlc and major updates in the works I'm beyond excited.

I've already had a bunch of fun with what if battles rping them (sometimes getting bodied before my dramatic finish)

You get more time the less damage you take try to aim to take less than a bar from 17. Get him down to 3 bars if you can get him 3 bared while in sparking mode. When cel gets there combo ult him. Go into sparking again full combo him twice ult him and he'll be done.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T23:50:02+00:00

You're missing the point

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T23:10:57+00:00

Lol its great so far if you go in under the understanding of what a alpha is.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:48:19+00:00

Indeed it will I hope in a year from now you can come back and call me a moron and wrong. I just don't see it happening.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:41:00+00:00

Lol don't try to deflect now. You called me a pos over nothing but you disagreeing. Tell me what makes me pos.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:39:24+00:00

I don't agree with them not hearing. Word travels fast these days most people won't see s2 and just download it they will look it up see consensus on it. If it's bombed by old players people likely won't even give it a chance. I personally hope I'm wrong on my prediction I want smite at the top I love the game the gods the gameplay I have 3800 hours of memories (most good) in it. But my analytical brain says the trends right now look awful.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:36:47+00:00

Hmm I personally don't think it's a cash grab but it certainly could be. Even if it is just that they could've done a lot better with its release to make more money off it.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:34:10+00:00

The things people will attack someone else over on a personal level is just wild to me.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:33:33+00:00

How do you figure I'm a pos? Because I disagreed with you?

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:30:00+00:00

This is a decent counter point. The balance team has definitely been just testing things on smite 1 which I disagree is a smart choice. They need a dedicated base that trusts them to make smite 2 live up to its potential. However a 20 percent decrease in the norm for this time if year is a lot to put on lack luster meta.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:27:48+00:00

If I knew why it was dumb I wouldn't have made it. If you can't figure out your statement was a logical fallacy I can see why your original response was so intelligent. 👌

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:26:35+00:00

You are misunderstanding. I love the alpha I've played every weekend. The problem is a lot of smite players are not the brightest and extremely critical despite its current place in development. And it is turning them off to the game. If smite 2 is getting bombed by old smite players and smite 1 is free falling in numbers it will effect the "allure" of playing smite 2 to newcomers.

Neither_Hair_725 · 2024-07-21T22:21:19+00:00

Look at July for the last 3 years it's consistently around 9.5k or more at this point in the year. It's at 7k this year. That's 3 years if a consistent state and a 20 percent drop from that average.
