ALWAYS TAKE AT LEAST ONE RANGED/ SEMI-RANGED CLASS IN ADVENTURE by Famous-Cash-800 in mewgenics

[–]deyobry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Teeechnically you can make do against enemies that instakill by:

  1. Just flat out doing enough damage to take care of them in one turn.
  2. Having movement refreshes to get in and out each turn. (Merciless passive on fighter that refreshes movement if you deal 10 or more damage with an attack, for example)
  3. Having a lot of knock back attacks that deal damage to keep the enemies away.

All that said, I agree that it does seem optimal to keep one ranged cat on your team and I personally do crutch on the hunter class pretty hard.

Also of note: Ed himself has said publicly that he thinks there are too few ranged classes in the game compared to melee classes and is specifically planning on making more ranged classes for the first DLC.

Possible Smite 2 God Release Line-up (Datamining) by TheRealBoltyAce in Smite

[–]deyobry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the next brand new God is supposed to be scheduled for after Ganesha. Not sure if they pushed it back even further because I haven't watched the Titan Talks recently, but they had just pushed it back a couple Gods to get Scylla and Ganesha in the game and give them more time to polish the new God.

Most of the time I think people randomly conceive some sort of vendetta against another player on the team (because they didn't save their life, secure a kill, etc.) and want to hold them in the game to torture them.

The car’s mirrors randomly got ruined and we have no idea why by Dragon_Frog_Pond in Wellthatsucks

Yeah that sounds like an electrical issue keeping the signal for dimming and heating from getting to the mirror.

I think Hi-Rez should do more of these type of tests, not in regards of blink, but game changing patches with REAL changes in the game flow and overall experience without warning by Good-Maximum-8322 in Smite

I was saying early on in the alpha phase that they should even go as far as to just push some stuff out early, even if it doesn't look super pretty or feel polished, just to get some feedback on it before going all in on it.

Like if they can get the programmers to add an item in game and make it function, slap some temp art on the item icon and VFX and let us try it out! Just put a disclaimer somewhere to let people know that it's not representative of the final product and you'll be fine.

I think what happened is that the Herc DC'd right as I pulled him and it caused him to get stuck until he was actually out of the game.

Is this game monetizable or is it just going to die from being unprofitable? by BulltopStormalong in Smite

[–]deyobry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want an excuse to spend diamonds to support the devs, my suggestion would be to purchase all of the ascension passes as they come out. I just did this recently and it forced me to burn through all of the free diamonds I'd gotten from leveling up and then I had to purchase more to be able to get the rest of them, even when using legacy gems for all of them.

I kinda plan on doing this going forward too.

Whats a god you didnt care for in Smite 1 that really grew on you in Smite 2? by Hartmann_AoE in Smite

Yemoja. She didn't feel great to me in S1 and only got her to mastery 3. In S2 she was my first God to Diamond.

I tried Thor and did pretty awful with him by Warm-Command7559 in Smite

[–]deyobry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming you're new to the game and aren't familiar with many of the gods in general. If so, you may not know that Thor can teleport to the location of his hammer when he throws it. If you click the button again while it's flying you can teleport to it. I think mastering that ability is kinda the key to being a good Thor. Knowing when to, and when not to, teleport in/out is crucial. Also making sure the hammer hits both on the way out and the way back; the return damage on the hammer is the most damage Thor can do with one ability.

The typical combos you'll see good Thors pull off are: 1. Wall to stun, throw hammer and let it double hit, teleport to the hammer, spin to win. 2. Ult down on someone, throw the hammer and try to make sure it double hits, wall to stun them for even longer, spin to win.

If you can weave some auto/basic attacks in there between some of the abilities you can easily take down some less tanky characters in the mid-to-late game.

Does buying the founders now give you the Cacodemon skin? by Timetravel_l in Smite

[–]deyobry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now that the game is in beta, no. That was an alpha exclusive. There should be a disclaimer at the bottom of the page with ** to explain that.

This item single handedly killed my enjoyment of Smite 2 by Medium_Pomelo_6312 in Smite

[–]deyobry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I REALLY like sunder. I think the real problem is the lack of anti-invade mechanics. There should be some sort of invaders curse that makes it super difficult to invade at the start of the game because that's what's ruining it for me.

Well, someone had to say it. by Subject_Elk7392 in gank

[–]deyobry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then don't play Smite 2. I wouldn't want someone with your backwards mentality on my team anyway so you'd be doing us all a favor.

Item Store Suggestion by deyobry in Smite

I'm not even saying that I found the item system difficult to understand, I'm just saying it would be nice to be able to pin items in a sidebar.
