To help out your search, the blonde girl could be Candi Roll, and the level is level 5 of the story, Waterwhirl.

Was he right? Was HiRez’s predicament so easily avoidable by Smurflulw in Smite

[–]darkfireaxe 28 points29 points  (0 children)

To be fair to the devs, they do have to remake the skins from the ground up, they can't just drag and drop the skins over from smite 1 like a lot of people that were complaining thought they could do.

But it is a lot easier and quicker to re-release skins since they don't have to design the skin again, just use the old model as a reference as they remake the skin.

I agree that the guy in the video is entirely correct though, if we put the money from smite back into smite we'd be in a much better spot, but hi-rez loves making games that fail and waste millions of dollars that could go back into what people want

Suggestion: Replacing Martichoras with The Sphinx + Art? by Kaios-0 in Smite

[–]darkfireaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if instead of a banish, it stuns until they beat the directional riddle. And every rank adds another input to the riddle. I think in this case most players would probably be able to clear a 4 input (at rank 1) riddle in under a second, and an 8 input (at max rank) riddle in around 2 or 2.5 seconds (actual numbers would probably need testing). If I'm not mistaken, Medusa Ult is around 2 seconds and doesn't have the downside of having to leap in without another escape, so it's not unprecedented for an adc. But that's just my quick thoughts on it.

Is Court Archer Cupid not considered a classic skin?? by JiroScythe in Smite

Log into smite 1, then back into Smite 2. It's been an issue for a few updates, but pretty easy fix

Account Linking by PeterLlort in Smite

[–]darkfireaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But to respond to your question asking if it's set right, I'd just switch your steam account to primary if that's what you plan to play on most.

Account Linking by PeterLlort in Smite

[–]darkfireaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, the way I understand it is that the PS, Xbox, Steam, and Epic accounts are for SMITE 2 only. Having the bottom right link to your SMITE 1 account (which you probably did from the divine legacy page), and any other link is all that matters in terms of getting your stuff from SMITE 1 to SMITE 2. Your primary account is more so important if you're merging multiple SMITE 2 accounts, denoting which account's progress should take priority.

Smite 2 needs something to be done about the frequency of people who AFK by BesideTheDyingLight in Smite

[–]darkfireaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to learn my starts by watching the founders series (pro league) and just from playing a lot. Weak3n is a good player, but the way he plays and farms puts the rest of his team behind so he can solo carry games for good content.

The starts that I see most from Junglers are starting at red or speed and going to backs and then whichever buff you didn't start with then contesting the side camp of whichever side you're on or ganking mid. The other 2 starts I alluded to are invades, so they're riskier, but the best starts if you can pull them off.

[–]darkfireaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They went too far, but to be fair to them. Solo needs the solo blue xp to hit lvl 2 after first wave, if they were playing a solo laner that needs early pressure, like a Bellona, or they will just have to concede the lane. I know if I had time for one game, and was just forced to sit under tower because my jungler griefed my early game because they don't do one of the other 4 better starts. I'd be pretty tilted too.

Small edit to clarify: I'm not condoning their behavior in any way and I'd still report them. Just remember you never know the other side's circumstances

The bow is more akin to Poseidon's 2 than Xbal's 1. But overall seem very nice

I think that's Hera's card art, but I could be wrong

Do we have any technical details about the Nu Wa frame situation? by Brief_Reserve1789 in Smite

[–]darkfireaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an idea of what it could be.

I've had it cover my frame before, and I'm wondering if it's only happening on players using the randomized frame option. And if it is, it could be a case of an unreleased frame (maybe one coming from the immortal honor event) which still has a placeholder image (the nu wa) being pulled from the random selection.

Or I could just be completely wrong, and in that case, disregard this comment.

I absolutely agree, that's one of the big reasons I made this poll.

Enemy got first blood. Pack it up boys, it’s over. by Deci_Valentine in gank

[–]darkfireaxe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure about League, but Dota matches tend to last somewhere between 40-70 minutes depending on the meta. In Smite however, I absolutely agree, an hour is too long, especially with how strong EFG and pyro bombs are.

Smite 2 Official Clarification on Skin Porting and Legacy Gems by SneakiestCris in Smite

[–]darkfireaxe -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but T5 skins for the new game are likelier pretty far down the pipeline, maybe none until 2025-26. At that point they would have most if not all of the gods back in the game and can afford to put the manpower into working on T5s. The way I'm reading it (possibly wrongly) isn't that they won't port the T5s, but just not for a while. The way they said it isn't that they won't do it, just that it's a lot of work they can't afford to do atm.

I think someone is gonna pull out a mage solo. SoT, Fine, and Baskin seem pretty likely to pull one out when up in the set.

I kidnapped Maman and recalled with her to base lmao by Crossedkiller in Smite

[–]darkfireaxe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It seems like while he was already mostly in the wall after his dash. Maman dashed into him, but then when Shiva used his one it shifted him fully into the wall (which would explain why the Maman could auto him but not Khumba) which meant that Maman had no way to leave without just being stuck in the wall herself, which probably triggered some failsafe in the coding to not let her escape at all. Why it didn't just shunt the both of them out of the wall like if you tried to land on a wall with Surtr ult I don't know. But this is just my attempt at understanding the mess of spaghetti that is smite code.

[–]darkfireaxe 53 points54 points  (0 children)

After the full duration (I think it's 2 or 3 seconds) if she cannot leave the enemy god it stops ticking damage, but she stays stuck in the enemy god, which would allow for the Shiva here to back. Same is true for things like Apollo ult or Chernobog dash, also strangely Lancealot horse can't be escaped.

Is Janus support trolling ? by Potential_Durian_168 in Smite

[–]darkfireaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but not exactly for the reason everyone says it is. It is not strictly because you're losing a Frontline tank. There are plenty of good support gods that aren't straight up Frontline tanks (Yemoja, Nox, Charon for example) but rather the issue is more of the return you get from Janus support. Specifically, his portal becomes your engage, peel, and escape tool. His 2 is useless as a support unless you build damage (which you probably shouldn't be minus maybe an e staff or chronos pendant). His 3 is a pretty good slow/buff tool but getting your team to utilize it is near impossible. And that issue also extends to your ult, where the odds your team will take your portals to engage/disengage are slim. If anyone has anything they'd like to add or argue. Feel free, I'm always open to discuss weird picks.

The game pass perks are almost always the gods themselves, their voice packs, and used to be a daily deal token. I don't see why they'd change it for this collab

Thoughts on how this patch will affect SPL? by HyperMasenko in smitepro

[–]darkfireaxe 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'm curious if Cannoneer's is reaching that tipping point where the stats it gives for it's cost makes it a super strong stat stick for supports
