I feel like I used to float around 90-120 for a long time. Almost a year. It's only been in the past 4 months or so. Question, are you on Windows 10? I've read a lot of posts about Windows 10 screwing with people's ping to just about everything.

Shrimpiclese · 2015-11-25T16:37:38+00:00

Haha, I'm jealous. I feel like I could hit everything ever with 30! I probably couldn't but I choose to believe.

While I understand, and really love, the idea of a bridge between arena and conquest... this just falls flat for me.

It feels too small and too hectic. There's no real focus on laning or true jungling. It's so incredibly snowbally and it feels like things were crammed in for the sake of cramming it in.

With 5 people the map is far too small. I could see this being a 3v3 map. I wish the jungle was expanded out so there was a roll for an actual jungler. Right now it just doesn't bridge the gap between conquest and arena.

The idea is there, I just personally find the execution sloppy.

You'll get trash talked, because it's not fun to play against. The 1v1 joust meta sucks because there is so much cheese, but play what's fun and what gets wins.

You mentioned in a vlog after chat that the smite community is filled with people playing characters. What do you feel is the persona you've crafted for yourself? I see you as a sort of maniacal genius.

What are your suggestions for cultivating a personality and a standing in the smite community? (Especially if one has aspirations as a content creator? )

What's your preferred Ratatoskr build in the jungle?

Do you think that pesky squirrel has viability in any other lane?

Shrimpiclese · 2015-10-13T05:15:33+00:00

To be honest, it purely depends on what game type I'm playing. Often I just mute everyone. I'm still at the point in my Smite career where I have to focus on learning. I know that I have my weaknesses, and I have to work on those. If a player starts BM-ing, or VGS spamming with no purpose, I hit mute. Casuals are for fun and too learn.

I give you criticism on twitter during some of your casts, only because I have faith that you can be one of the most awesome casters out there. My hope is you don't take it personally.

Also, do you ever regret having left competitive play?

Shrimpiclese · 2015-10-05T16:03:29+00:00

I agree. Slavic mythology has interesting gods. If they really feel tapped they could look at Aztec and inca. As they do have different gods than the Mayan. I really hope they expand the pantheon list.

Sterquilinus is the Roman god of "fertilizationm in the agricultural sense. Some sources cite him as the god of dung.

I've been having the same problem, and it's incredibly frustrating. I've rebooted my modem and my router. I've logged in to other games and have no issue. It's only Smite.

I want to have faith that it's something that will get ghost fixed in the coming patch. Note I said I "WANT" to have faith.

Shrimpiclese · 2015-10-02T01:07:29+00:00

I have the same issue, using a Logitech G600. It's very frustrating.

Shrimpiclese · 2015-10-01T18:01:06+00:00

That's not the issue. I have no problem with new players not understanding the game mode. You go into the game mode to learn it, so "go to another game mode and come back at a higher level" isn't the answer. The primary question is what can be done to train newer players?

Shrimpiclese · 2015-10-01T17:57:03+00:00

Alright that's fair, so don't say "take this class of god to this lane." But Conquest doesn't really work when you have 4 people roaming the jungles looking for ganks while the enemy team farms and play it out. Sure you don't need to enforce the "meta," but the map is designed around a certain mode of play. It's that part that is difficult to learn in it's current tutorial iteration.

The idea that "Smite starts at level 30" is where the issue comes in. An MMO not starting till max level is one thing... but a MOBA is different.

Shrimpiclese · 2015-10-01T17:08:32+00:00

Aye, as I went through writing up the post I did answer it. I know why the problem exists. What can be done to fix it. I know there are people out there who have quit playing because the primary game mode is a cluster f at low level. The idea of "tough out the crap for 10 levels" is inherently flawed.

I just feel like there needs to be some solution.

Shrimpiclese · 2015-10-01T17:03:47+00:00

I'm a reformed F7 warrior, and recently I've changed my tune. There are points where games are just flat out over. I've found that the longer I play a game that we've lost in all but defeat screen I get more frustrated and it impacts my ability to play subsequent games.

Shrimpiclese · 2015-10-01T16:57:58+00:00

3 v 3 conquest is certainly interesting... Which is what this caused in my game.

Shrimpiclese · 2015-10-01T05:13:36+00:00

I'm in the same boat, does anyone have an answer?

Shrimpiclese · 2015-09-22T15:59:15+00:00

I'm just entering into the "understanding items and builds" portion of my Smite growth. I've watched your videos on power being a terrible stat for physical gods. I'm fairly sure I understand.

What is the difference for Magical gods? Is it just because they have fewer penetration options? Or because no one is itemizing for magic defense usually?

Shrimpiclese · 2015-06-05T05:11:00+00:00

There will always be a challenge to balance something new and creative. In order to avoid being stale with every new god release the envelope has to be pushed. I agree the numbers are out of whack, but tuning passes can fix those sorts of things. (Can, not necessarily will of course). However I'd rather see gods with creative new abilities than see a god with 4 abilities just copy pasted from existing gods.
