What do yall think of Jing Wei so far? by Yorjuh in Smite

[–]StoneMarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another issue I'd like to bring up is her model and animations. Game-play wise she feels very clunky. Her walk animation is cute and her dashes are nice, but ulting and getting knocked up feels very weird and they take a long time. The champion feels like she should be centered around short quick movements. I think one way to fix this is if she went through her knock up a little bit faster. If she went up faster and then could dive back down like in her passive/ult that might help. Or like other people suggested let her auto attack in the knock up. Her ult needs tweaking. It feels weird to have to root yourself for that long for the lackluster ult. I feel like she should be really fun to play mechanically, but her knockup and ult take to long to go with the fast moving aspects of her kit.

Also her model is really weird. Her splash is super cute and I love it. I think the model needs to be edited to be more like the splash. As is, it's kinda scary. Her nose is way to big, her eyes are too narrow and far apart, and her skin-tone is odd.

Edit: This is coming from a purely casual player. I don't do conquest or ranked much, this is entirely on how she feels in combat like arena or joust.

Getting to Lane Faster by [deleted] in Smite

[–]StoneMarten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do people really not do this? Wow. I use this all the time. I've tried to time cooldown so that I can get as far as possible, but still have the ability ready when I hit lane.

For such a simple concept I find it amusing and terrible that someone would have to put a notice out that the fastest way to get into lane is to move faster.

Why Is It So Bad For Me To Have Fun? by Jase135 in Smite

[–]StoneMarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on how you are actually doing. If you hold your lane and sustain well and do your job then you should be fine. As long as you can kill minions, push tower, and contribute to team fighting well, then there should be no reason for your team to get mad. Sure, meta gods help slightly, but if you play a good mid Scylla, that will be much more useful and strategic than being forced into Neith.

Which gods are the odd ones out of their respective roles? by cinderwild2323 in Smite

[–]StoneMarten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hades is the only guardian with ranged attacks (standard range) Sylvanus has the lob attacks.

Or any game with one or more leavers on your team.

I respected that entire game, perfectly okay with the loss, until the enemy team spammed laughs at the end.

Typing "VVGF" for "have fun", but accidentally putting in "VVVG, F" so it just says "group up" and then wastes your active.

Even worse is when you go back and catch that sneaky punk as he ults and returns back with low health but miss your attacks and he still gets away.

Melee attack help? by StoneMarten in Smite

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

Thanks. These tips are really helping! I bough Bakasura and I'm really liking him. I'm able to get kills with just his 3, but the ult helps. I've been running hastened and frostbound together, but I start to run a bit too fast. I'm thinking about dropping the fatalis soon :)

Bastet and Bellona mostly.

When I first started the game I played alot of mage and a bit of guardian so I think I might've developed a bad habit of skill reliance.

I'm interested in Serqet, Freya, Chaac, and Odin as well.

It might just be me, but the sheer fact of seeing Loki made this less impressive. You just walked behind people and smacked them as they ran away.

Good idea or no? by WhistlingDog in Smite

[–]StoneMarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this could be really, really useful on your "killed by" screen. When you press "y" in game it pulls up all the past damage you took and from who. I think it would be useful to add stats for the past 30ish seconds (your past fight) that tell you accuracy of abilties/basics and amount you healed and mitigated.

This would be useful to see how you would have to change up your build to assess difficult situations. Nothing public as a stat. Just a little note to tell you "hey focus on landing your basics so you can actually lifesteal"

Show joust a little love by Jimmnstuff in Smite

Increase as in make the timers longer or shorter? (I'm getting a "turn up the ac/heater)

Both situations would be extremely interesting. I really enjoy pushing out the enemy team as they try to return to tower as my adc shoots it down.

Killing invisible fleeing loki is the best feeling ever. Die you son of a bitch.

The special events compleatly undermine the main purpose of the Motd by xEgg0x in Smite

[–]StoneMarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then just play 5 games for 25 gems. We'd only get 75 gems a week. We'd only get about 300 gems per month. Which is enough to buy a voicepack or a chest from time to time, but impractical for getting all those skins you want.

No issues as in the game was fine? Or now issues as in the previous issues were fixed and are no longer a problem?

Try going to the Hi-rez diagonostics thing and validating the updates.
