I am so excited to play this and give feedback and contribute to its growth. I think feeling heard and seen and considered when trying your best to provide the best feedback you can has been something absent in Smite 1 at least in my view- but now things have changed and progress seems to be very palpable. Great job everyone.
For real. The fact that they’re delaying Hecate, who technically wasn’t released yet, because of the feedback they got from the small pool of people who tested the game already is soo refreshing to me lol
The thing im most hoping for is truely new and innovative ability/kit designs. In smite at least. There are things ive seen in other mobas that I want in smite. Like basic attacks that hit hard but need to be reloaded. Or an Abathur like character where the real character sits somewhere safe while you play as a summoned creature or something. Also once we can make our own custom builds id like the ability to make and name several different tabs of custom builds.
Wouldn't it make more sense like Predecessor has with Fangtooth where after 3 spawns of Goldfury the Ancient spawns and not the first one to get to 3 stacks which would make it more desirable of a buff to fight over. It would also speed up games too hopefully.
@@spauy yes it's only player made walls. I remember in the video neith jumping over a ymir wall, so I assumed we were talking about player made walls. If she jumped over normal walls then that's new.
They say they didn’t want to overload the map with bushes but there are so many everywhere. I hope they aren’t annoying and actually make the lane more interesting and dynamic like they say.
@@Connor-rl4pf it was when they were first talking about the 14 gods abilities for the alpha 44:42 . They said she wouldn’t be there because of community feedback. Both playtesters and the community didn’t like her design so they decided to delay her to rework her. Super happy to hear this.
Will there be a way to rearrange our items? I'd like to be able to move active items into different slots so I can reactively activate them instead of having to remember the order I bought my items in.
My question for the gold fury permanent buffs, will smite 2 description of minions be the same as smite's description. Because if so, that means Nu Wa has an inadvertent buff to her clay soldiers should she still have them
The Fire Giant death wall made me laugh. I'm tempted to go full beta tester on that wall, seeing if any immunities etc can get me stuck inside or if it still kills me.
I wish the stealth bushes were more creative than just bushes. Maybe just chaos smoke emanating from the ground idk. 😕 That being said I bought the $100 pack lol
I'm very excited for the alpha. The only criticism from what ive seen so far is the profile pictures for the characters. They look kinda odd, like the cernunos one looks like a camera was shoved in his face catching him off guard
I know the target audience for this stream was experienced players, but I am concerned about how everything here pretty much increases complexity. I think the most important thing this game needs to do is attract NEW players. Would love to hear about the onboarding and new player experience.
To be fair the competitive scene which has a huge impact benefits from more complexity. They dont want to focus on more casual arena players but more people willing to play a MOBA competitively like with LOL
After watching the live stream I am happy and patiently waiting for the smite 2 release as a beta player from smite one! One huge concern I have seen is that smite 2 hybrid stats are represented poorly! as shown in the listed image, this is a case of an ability that has 2 stat scaling but is represented with only one color!!! please please please make sure your stats are distinctive and represented correctly for ease of use! An example would be showing STR damage and INT damage as 2 different colors, these % readings can lead to confusing or miss interpretation! Other accessibility options would include options to change these colors in the menu for either colorblind people or people would like to make thins more indavidually accessible! Looking forward to hybrid stats! just please represent them correctly by making them distinct!!!!
I personally don't see the excitement of not having specified roles for characters. It will get rid of anyone being upset about being forced to play a role (support), but it will also lead to people just playing whatever they want and making the skill ceiling higher as there will be so many different ways to play. I also don't like the idea of seeing a character on the enemy team and not knowing "oh that's a tank".
I do feel that. Thats my only concern. I like having my support characters that have kits that work with that, supports that play like supports. I do understand why they are staying away from it, but yeah, Im not fully conviced about it myself. I am veeeery excited for Smite 2, so at the end of the day ill play it regardless.
@@sofiabruiz17 I don’t think you need to worry about that. they will still release gods that center around specific roles, they just don’t want every god to be chained to one role. Look at Hecate for example, she’s a pure mage
Truly my favorites from the smite team! Thank you for the years of support as Devs and providing these patch notes shows. I've spent countless hours watching these. PS....Hi Lady if you are reading this!
Seeing that most of the reworks are minor changes to their smite 1 kits and not out right remakes of the characters that dont even play like the same god has me more hyped to try this. I can not stand it when you learn a character in a moba and the devs do an entire rework of their kits to the point of them playing nothing like they use to. All of my mains are low pick rate hard to learn gods. I like that there are characters in the game only a small percentage of the player base can use effectively at a high level instead of trying to make everyone meta and viable so I was worried some of them might get reworked heavily.
I'll leave here a comment like who agrees with me, I would like to see more environment/character details like: Put janus portal = I can see through it Xba hiding in bushes = is completely invisible and can't see even if you're next to him (maybe awilix too) Thanatos ult = You can't see him just your heart beats faster as close as he gets to you Gigant gods like ymir, atlas, cthulhu, jormun = can't hide in those tiny bushes fenrir 2nd skill boost = leave trails of lava/melt ground behind bakasura = could eat gods if they're low hp, like in the lore bushes could be burnt by the fire = agni feels like a real god of fire skills of gods can affect the map, I thunder an area with zeus's ult that ground is destroyed by thunders. I don't expect level or structure destroyed but texture at least. After a conquest, the battleground needs to be destroyed after gods fought there!! I know it is in alpha but this it the direction that I would like smite 2 to go, since it's a gods-based game I would like to feel like a god while I'm playing it. The stuff with new items is nice, but I would like more focus on the characters like it's your character not a god that I picked from a list. I would like to discover small but important details and get better at playing my favorite god. Please just don't hurry the process and develop gods like they should be, 10 gods/ year it's fine if you make them special and have hidden details.
I just hope they make it more vibrant with colors like the last season of smite, especially season 7! I think the color scheme right now seems soulless. But hopefully when it comes down to season 1-3 they end up changing the layout to be more vibrant!
Colours is something that always shocks me. You see the card art and it's sooo colourful, then you see the skin and it's muted. Things tend to be muted for some reason, I wonder why.
An idea for an item I have: Something that counters qins, but you deal 10% less damage, or a similar trade-off. I just wanna be a tanky tank that tanks and not a wet paper bag.
I love base neiths new outfit design. Her design really screamed wanting to have beautiful flowing gowns and tunics. It was a bit disappointing seeing her skin-tight usually.
Not a fan of the flashing last hit on CS, imo that’s a skill that is supposed to be learned, it’s the raw fundamentals of a moba, sure I would say you can add some tips, or maybe for the first 10 player levels that flashing red animation plays on last hits, but after that it shouldn’t do it anymore. If you can’t last hit a minion, that’s the only thing you should be practicing on.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!! COLOR COORDINATE THE INT AND STR STATS!!!!!, all being orange is going to confuse what will be the best thing about this game, Orange - Blue... Organe - Pink... Just not Orange Orange!!!!
Zeus 1 doesn't make any sense with his kit now, his 1 was supposed to bounce on his shield and that's what gave him pressure. My solution: What if Zeus ult was removed, and was instead a stance switch? He would have 1 stance for PVP with attack speed and strength scaling, as shown in the showcase, and the other stance would be for PVE with intelligence scaling, this fixes his wave clear and still allows him to PvP. I also really dislike his ultimate as it rarely ever gets more than 2 hits off.
@@lefeline9192 tf you mean it was never intended to work with the shield? it literally gives him an object to use his 1 to bounce it onto enemies, that's the whole point of his pressure
You're saying you want to build this game with the community, but you're ignoring the community! We want at least our Tier 5 skins! There are only 30 of them. There's no way it can take that long between your large development team!!!
They arent, they are listening to the people who actually care about the game and not just skins. I get it, you want your skins, but if skins is the most important thing to you... Specially when you bought a skin in smite not in smite 2. You never owned the skin, you rented it.
This has nothing to do with building up a game mechanically wise. If you want those skins you would have to wait another months since it takes a long time to transfer skins. And they said that they might add some fan favorites in the future…
If imma get honest with this. Smite2 literally makes me want to just quit playing smite. The "better graphics" are not actually better. It doesn't look as artistic as the first one, it doesn't feel as gamey. I hope u guys can make the numbers right. If the math happens correctly in game then i can get used to the new looks. But yeah the new look of the crosshair and the lack of artistry on the health bar and all that is kinda off putting. I hope it gets more art into it like smite had.
Just a reminder that literally everything you're seeing is PRE ALPHA. literally one of the very first payable builds of the game. Every single thing you see from UI to God kits and map design, is all subject to change. And will continue to be change and made better and better. If you have any feedback for them, they do listen! So don't get so defeated so early! The whole reason they aren't giving us Hecate in this alpha is because of community feedback and letting them know that she isn't ready. And they listened!
@@ImmortalMarshmallowyeah ik it'll get better 100% it's a newborn. But feedback needs to be given and then if enough people say the same things then they'll change or adjust. This is my favorite game. I'm entitled to comment on anything i don't like.
first off, this is being recorded or either live streamed and from what i can tell the visual quality is nowhere near what youll experience in game, seems like the bitrate for this video is all over the place, secondly youre high, lmao, the colors and shaders look astronomically better, the map looks amazing and WAY more organic with trees and foilage, and the trees are flowing in the wind along with their leaves, lmfao, just that alone is a MASSIVE leap from smite 1
make the titans like 4x bigger.

Honestly it’s looking great smite has always been the game I come back to and now seeing it grow it’s gonna be great to see where the game goes !!
Hype is over 9000
what # you want for the streams ?
Will there be a way to rearrange our items? I'd like to be able to move active items into different slots so I can reactively activate them instead of having to remember the order I bought my items in.
Patch notes say this will be implemented, but not when the Alpha goes live tonight
Are towers more powerful now or people can still live under the tower and don't die? Can we get something like League?

I like the kuku rework... is it true you can build ANY item you want?
How do I move my PlayStation account over to pc for smite 2?
The Fire Giant death wall made me laugh.
I'm tempted to go full beta tester on that wall, seeing if any immunities etc can get me stuck inside or if it still kills me.
I’m excited, needed
A refresh and I’m hoping they make it cross play and market the game properly so we can have more players into the community.
im super stoked to play the alpha
I wish the stealth bushes were more creative than just bushes. Maybe just chaos smoke emanating from the ground idk. 😕
That being said I bought the $100 pack lol
If they keep it like smite 1 they'll probably change the map every few seasons so you might get your wish eventually
I can't believe you put Bard ult on an item. Maddening
