im using a general term to avoid any spoilers. im not going to confirm anything today :)

This is an older/rougher image to establish more of the "mood" of the map

The assets seen here arent accurate to what the map will look like, specifically, many of the details and landmarks pictured here are NOT in the new map, or had significant visual changes.

This was similar to an image we intended to send out though, and it got mixed up on a few posts. The intended image shows more detail on the big blue fortress.

I think itd be less interesting than it sounds. Launching "balanced" new gods is just a hard thing to do for a variety of reasons.

1. our pushing for unique kits
2. player perception not always matching actual data
3. internal testing differing from live testing
4. game design is more of an art than science

A LOT of gods in SMITE history have just kinda been at the very top or very bottom. And the community can probably tell who was in those slots.

The most interesting might be the gods who fall into point 2. For example: Thoth, Susano, King Arthur all were nearly dead last in win% - but players screamed OP

So like doing this for new gods first days but from previous years? Could do it, itll just take a while

I went ahead and updated for Danza and added your 2020 end of year state for this years gods, though!

I totally understand why people feel this way, but personally I thought it was pretty fun to watch.

Ive been comparing it to Soccer - there is a lot of tension at all times, and things happening but they dont result in points until rare instances. Its interesting if youve played joust and can empathsize with the players and anticipate the big plays. But if youre just looking for kills its not nearly as fun.

I think its been a cool contrast to show people how different modes of SMITE play, and how tactical the game can be even on a small map.

I also think the S8 changes we have planned will help mitigate the downsides we are currently seeing on this mode, we'll see!

Ill never stop loving joust, its almost as much a part of my brand as the ama hoodie lol

haha im sorry - this thread looked small i thought it was just gonne be me and OP discussing it

I have been a bit sassy lately, its been fun, but ill probably tone it down but im trying to be very active and more myself through worlds

What i care most about is getting yall the right info and dispelling misinformation, which reddit tends to spread.
