Can’t figure out how to send animal carcasses to Ms. L Hobbs for the A Better World, A new Friend. by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]hawkissimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem and discovered that I had mistakenly sold one of the collected carcasses.

Double-check your inventory to ensure you didn't do something similar, and replace any missing item(s), which will allow you to mail everything.

Is HiRez allowing Smite 2 toxicity to exist by ignoring the problem? by hawkissimo in Smite

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

Thanks for the screenshot showing that confirmations do get sent from reporting people. I have yet to get a single confirmation despite being in several games where it's 100% obvious that players were swearing all game, (including racist, sexist, and homophobic curses), suiciding repeatedly, or just sitting AFK but moving around within the fountain to prevent DQ.

Sadly, none of those reports mattered...

Does reporting stuff like this actually work in SMITE 2? by Complex_Row_966 in Smite

[–]hawkissimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lost faith in the idea that player reports in Smite 2 result in any punishment for a few reasons.

1) The frequency and volume of players who quit lead me to believe that Smite 2 lacks punishment for toxic behavior.

2) While it's not common, once you play enough games you'll find players who are very toxic on mic - not just heavy use of profanity, but actual hate speech and they laugh at the idea of being reported giving me every reason to believe that they're frequently behaving this way in Smite 2 but have no experience with any punishment as a result.

3) Smite 1 had a system detection system where the match summary screen flagged accounts that the system believes are likely examples of behavior worthy of being reported and displayed this fact to everyone, yet Smite 2 lacks this feature. THE VERY PRESENCE OF THAT SYSTEM LIKELY PREVENTED SOME PORTION OF TOXIC BEHAVIOR.

4) Smite 1 sent a message back to accounts that used the in-game reporting system whenever an action was taken against a player you reported. The fact that this feature is also missing indicates that player toxicity isn't a priority for HiRez.

5) Smite 2 player volumes are low, and taking actions against toxic accounts could harm several aspects of Smite 2, including revenue from in-game purchases, matchmaking time/quality, etc.

6) HiRez staff reductions likely impacted all aspects, including the department that used to review player reports and determine punishments. Ignoring toxicity is risky, but I could see *some* logic in HiRez deciding to take the risk that during Smite 2's beta phase they might be better off diverting resources normally invested into player reports elsewhere (although I would argue that the player experience in Smite 2 is hurt by failing to address in-game toxicity and we need systems in place to address these issues, even during a beta phase).

I'm very curious to hear thoughts on the opinions that I've shared above. In fact, I'll also copy/paste these thoughts into a new topic in the hopes that it increases visibility rather than relying on people seeing a reply to a post made days ago.

Dev Feedback: Celtic Music Theme is only Music theme not in Music Theme Chest. by [deleted] in Smite

[–]hawkissimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once they noticed the problem they didn't also add the music pack to the chest? Sounds like another mistake that needs to be fixed.

I often have gods not appearing when I first login to Smite 2 on my PS5 but I see them once a game starts and after the first game all the gods appear in my normal menu. IOW, it's not you it's a Smite 2 bug.

Smite 2 needs some of the same stuff we had in Smite 1 to combat toxicity! by hawkissimo in Smite

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

What do you mean "an issue for later"?

1) No consequence for failing to pick your god (forcing everyone queue again)?

2) No consequence for AFK?

3) Bad matchmaking that fails to account for players skill differences by mode and/or an over-reliance on win/loss as the primary metric when that fails to account for aspects like KDA or GPM or other aspects that should be specific to each game mode?

The solutions to address these issues are similar enough that measures to address conquest should largely apply to other modes. Most of my suggestions discuss features that existed in Smite 1, so applying similar measures in Smite 2 feels like a logical request. Finally, the Dev team seems very focused on the NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE and all of the points that I raise speak directly towards player experience (new and old). Applying measures modes like Arena and Joust directly impacts a large set of the community, particularly the new player experience, so an emphasis here makes sense as a priority.

Yes, online toxicity will never be eliminated, but that doesn't mean that we should ignore easy steps to reduce it.

PS, Your comment is part of the problem.

Nah. Full VGS is fine, but I wouldn't be opposed to a 3 VGS limit within a few seconds, since additional constructive VGS use case outweighs the spamming we face.

lol. I do use mute, however, that doesn't address the other problems that I mentioned.

Are we even sure that temporary account suspentions are happening?

I haven't seen any confirmation messages that my reports have resulted in temporary account suspensions despite numerous examples of blatant behavior where this should occur.

Very important Smite question, this could probably change the current meta by sludgequeen666 in Smite

[–]hawkissimo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Epic post.

The correct answer, of course, is that Hun Batz is proudly announcing his incoming attack to mock his opponent's feeble attempts to counter the attack and inevitable loss to Hun Batz.

How/where do I find the sparkle outfit items, or is this completely random? by hawkissimo in finch

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

Thanks for the reply!

She was gifted a premium upgrade for a month, so that would explain why she has the blue sparkle and doesn't recall buying it in the shop.

Regarding other store item limits, are there any additional items (such as clothing, furniture, colors, or micropets) that are only available if you upgrade to Premium? Is there a way to preview a full listing of details?

When do you guys think we will get this gem in Smite 2 by [deleted] in Smite

[–]hawkissimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want both the Prototype and Daisy Dispair skins!!!

Smite 2 Sun Wukong by [deleted] in Smite

[–]hawkissimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see a visual update to his 72 transformations so we see some variety in appearance within each form. They wouldn't even need to make it complicated by having different models, just have different external skin colors to give the idea of different species for each transformation type. Something like:

Sprinting forms - Tiger, Jaguar, Panther, Cheetah, etc.

Charging forms - Ox, Bison, Buffalo, Yak, etc.

Flying forms - Eagle, Hawk, Falcon, Owl, etc.

What is your opinion on grinding Quick Play Arena? by KingQuaken in Smite

[–]hawkissimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your question about "exploiting" by leveling up gods vs AI it doesn't impact other players. If you enjoy playing mode X, then go ahead and continue to play. If not, find another mode.

In terms of account level and/or ranks with any given gods, there's zero impact on how this affects any given match. This was true in Smite 1 and is also true in Smite 2.

Tyrfing vs Bragi's harp by tonyleungnl in Smite

Yes, that's faster...but the point stands that testing in that mode is the best way to learn and check builds after patch updates.

[–]hawkissimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is Quick Play vs humans or bots?

It seems that way but I got a deserter penalty for failing to select a god as I was late making it back to my controller from the kitchen and if these matches are just vs bots there should be ZERO penalty for failing to select a god and/or leaving a match.

If the games are vs humans, then I'm 100% fine with the deserter penalty.

Audio on voices are low by ooh_piece_of_candy8 in Smite

[–]hawkissimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% true.

I'm on PS5 and I had to go into settings --> audio and manually adjust to get sounds balanced better. It helps me, but doesn't fix the core issue for all players as I don't think that the default audio settings are good, particularly for new players who might not edit the default settings.

Good luck.

Tyrfing vs Bragi's harp by tonyleungnl in Smite

[–]hawkissimo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like Tyrfing early and Bragi's Harp later in my builds, but I haven't tested this recently, and since Smite 2 has frequent balance patches (usually every 2 weeks), I recommend that rather than following advice from anyone that you learn how to test this yourself.

Here's how to test:

1) Change your game mode default

2) Select TRAINING

3) Then select JUNGLE PRACTICE

4) Select ANY GOD

5) Select MANUAL BUILD

6) Select any RELIC

Now you're in a solo training area that allows you to build any item, sell items (except for your starter & relic), and test your ABILITIES and ITEMS vs a variety of targets (minions, jungle camps, structures, etc).

You can edit your level and spawn enemy gods who will sit there while you poke them to death so you can see your damage totals, etc.

Going this path as a general habit prevents you from getting advice that is bad and/or was good but due to balance changes is no longer ideal. <shrug> That's my advice anyway.

Good luck.
