Hey all, I keep seeing posts on this topic and just wanted to make a follow up post to all of it.

Yes, gems are split, High Rez wouldn’t make money otherwise and they kind of need that to make the game good, you know, that game we all love and enjoy.

Smite 1 had a daily login bonus that the 6th and 7th day would reward gems. It’s still the same amount, but now we get them every day for 100 gems a week for JUST logining in.

Thats where Smite 1 ended with that. Smite 2 however rewards more gems, look at your mastery tracks. Off just the FREE track getting a god to rank 10 rewards 225 gems for FREE. With 23 current gods in the game that’s 5,175 gems for FREE.

With 130 gods (like smite 1) that’s 29,250 gems for FREE. Thats nearly $200 worth of gems for FREE. Plus like Smite 1 I’m sure once the game is live for everyone we will get chests with skins and maybe other ways to earn gems.

It’s day 2 of the closed alpha. The game isn’t even out yet. Give High Rez the time they need. Yes, I want full release just as much as you do, but you’re trying to compare a 2 day old game to a 13 year old game. Relax and just have fun.

It's funny how much the "but you get 225 gems from the ascension pass for free!!!" argument has actually swayed the discussion towards HiRez's side.

Like regardless of the opinion you hold and whether or not you're against the gem increase prices, the idea that you will ever reasonably see even 50% of those free gems is absurd. I've been playing in S1 since 2016 and I have 23 gods at rank X, as someone who tried to master a lot of them, but also didn't focus too much on a single god. Sure, in 10 years you might have all gods at rank X, but what will most likely happen is that you'll never reach that, and HiRez knows that lmao.

Like I said, regardless of the opinion if the new prices are high or not, this argument is just silly. I think the free gems from the APs are really nice and a sweet thing from HiRez, but that should have no bearing whatsoever in the skin pricepoint discussion.

Literally none of that post relates to what I said. I said I don't care for either side of the argument, but just that the ascension passes shouldn't be a part of the discussion since their rewards are hard to obtain and will take 10+ years.

But yea, go on about how my literacy is bad lmaoooo
