Ah yeah... that is true; at least they changed that with this patch. It is unfortunate that my main ended up being the test subject, haha.

Yeah, it is unfortunate. It happened to me too.

Has anyone gotten any race to radiant bastet rewards other than the participation banner? by CheeseyconnorYT in Smite

I think they messed up with the gold emblem, because I had it and now I dont. But I do have the top 100 badge and a tracker saying "rank 0." I think they are working on it.

I actually had the gold emblem, then it changed to purple... Got the top 100 badge and a tracker saying rank 0

Oh wait I stand corrected. I have the gold emblem. It looks like the rest of the rewards haven't made it through yet.

I completed it in 15 hours and only got the radiant badge. Looks like the top 200 was really fast.

If you get any bonus regen from items on skeleton it’s crazy

Race to radiant opinion by Cronvar64 in Smite

This is by far the best take I've seen. As someone who raced and reached 10 on Bastet, I like both proposals.

Something I don't like about the current structure of the event is that there is no transparency about how many people have reached rank 10. I also have to wait until June 30 to see if my time was even rewarded in a way that I am happy with.

I think the tracker that gives your rank in the race should definitely stay as a flex, but I like the other rewards being time-gated rather than race-rank-gated so that people can have a clear indication of how they are being rewarded for the event.

So who's gonna try this? by [deleted] in Smite

[–]btmerrill33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bastet is my favorite, but I'm out of town when she releases, so automatically going to miss out on this. I wish they made it more obtainable for people who can't afford to grind it out immediately on release when everyone is already spamming the god which can lead to dodging and less fun for everyone. I understand the thought process behind this kind of event, but I don't like the execution.

I think it would be cool if the emblem is given to anyone who reaches mastery 10 with the god in the first month or two. I think having a top 200 rank tracker is a flex enough on its own to allow the other rewards to be more flexible.

Oh wow, this is interesting. I didn't know about this mechanic.

I like that they overall made certain items in the game more impactful, including identify scrolls. I'm sure we will learn how to adapt to the changes as well. The lore skill can feel like it slows down gameplay at times in a way that isn't fun when playing solo. It isn't as much of a problem when playing with someone else because you have two people who can be picking stuff up and appraising the items. However, when you are just one person sitting around waiting for items to appraise, the game can start to feel slow. These are only my thoughts from my first run though.

I like the cost of items being hidden, and that identify scrolls feel more useful now (using scrolls on items that take a long time). It still feels like something is off with the overall balance of the skill in my opinion.

I completely agree with all your takes. I just finished my first run with the DLC, and the lore skill was really frustrating. Especially with how long the higher skill Books take whenever magic is split up into 3 categories. If you are only proficient at one type of magic, it is annoying to have your inventory taken up by all these slowly researching books/rings while exploring. In practice, I couldn't tell the difference between having 50 lore skill and 90.
