MinionOfCthulhu posted:Also it looks like almost every skin I've seen is unavailable. That's a bummer. For the last 5 months almost all the new skins they released were part of the Odyssey, which was their fundraiser for the SWC prize pool. However, apparently all of them were exclusive to the Odyssey only and aren't available anymore now that the tourney is over. Which I think is pretty drat silly, but I'm sure they'll make them available again at some point (probably in a chest).

Oh wow I didn't actually think they'd go through with that and stop letting you buy those skins. I got the ones I care about from the events and such at least.

Decided to try playing on the new conquest map but apparently no one wants to try jungle on the new map so I got stuck with it. Never played jungle even on the old one so didn't go too well.

Supposedly Odyssey items themselves are available in chests, but related rewards are gone for good. So Archon, pedestal, what else?

There was the loading screen card border, the Drybear/Bart/DM announcer packs, a player icon, Agni skin, pedestal, and Archon. There might have been one other thing? I forget if the rewards started at 3 or 6 items bought.

Jsor posted:Oh man, does this mean I can't buy little red riding Scylla? I modified the OPs to include this info: Odyssey items will return eventually (Little Red Riding Scylla, Run.exe Mercury, Pixel Buster Freya, etc), but the milestone rewards from the Odyssey are gone forever (SWC player frame, SWC pedestal, that exclusive Agni/human-torch-ripoff skin, Archon Thanatos, SWC player icon, SWC-related announcer packs...I think I got everything?) There's also a few others that will "never" return - Cacodemon Ymir and Poolseidon...not sure if there's any more. Some of the "limited edition convention skins" maybe but those somehow pop up every once in a while. kojicolnair posted:Decided to try playing on the new conquest map but apparently no one wants to try jungle on the new map so I got stuck with it.

Jumped on a smurf account yesterday just to see what the old days were like. There must be more non-english players at the moment because "please run back to base now" seems to translate into "dive 1v3 combat with 20% hp repeatedly gogogogo" That and no amount of map pings can direct attention anywhere. Didn't see this mentioned in the new OP but lvl 5 is required for conquest; I think I see why. tl;dr - Play with goons

Thanks Kazvall!Chunjee posted:Didn't see this mentioned in the new OP but lvl 5 is required for conquest; I think I see why. I'm not entirely sure what the minimum requirements are for all the game modes. Does Siege have a minimum level requirement? Do the MOTDs (even when they're Conquest-related)? I don't think they do but I'm not 100% positive and I wasn't paying attention when I had smurf accounts less than level 5.

Are there any sites similar to probuilds or promatchups for Smite as opposed to LoL, so I can get a quick idea of what to do with a champion I've never played before?

There's a bunch of sites that have user-made guides but they get outdated quick (http://tiermonster.com/guides or http://www.smitefire.com/smite/guides ) http://www.smitestuff.com/ is good because it uses current statistics to keep track of what people get, and what their win rates are. It doesn't necessarily mean the build is good though - for example, the most popular build for Chronos has Hastened Fatalis which is not a good item for him. cyclonic fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Jan 18, 2015 |

Guan Yu is one of the worst gods in the game, so I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. He can't do anything better than other Warriors and his only major source of damage can be easily interrupted. I enjoy playing as him but he's just bad. Also Geb is only made of rocks if you're not using the spaceship skin AKA doing it wrong.  Oh yeah, anyone thinking of trying the new Conquest map on the PTS be aware that you have to download each patch separately, because Hi-Rez hates us all. God forbid it just downloads the latest patch.

I don't know if you can really claim Guan as being the worst Warrior. He's got some of the most freakish stat deviations out of any gods between Casual and League Conquest, though, according to SmiteStuff (47.21% and 52nd place, 54.12% and 12th place). He's just ahead of Vamana for win rate in League (Vamana is 54.03% and 13th place). By comparison, Osiris has abysmal win rates in Casual AND League (46.53% and 56th place, 45.45% and 49th place), yet he's considered one of the most powerful gods in the game. Referencing DMBrandon's tier list--even though he's a wanker prat--Osiris is S versus Guan as a C, yet Guan outperforms him by a not insignificant amount (though it should be noted that people who focus on playing Osiris win a shitload more often than people who focus on playing Guan). Guan isn't bad but he certainly takes some work to succeed with. He's not the easiest god to play and can be countered extremely hard by bad match ups. Which is kind of demonstrated by his Casual vs. League win rates. In blind picks, you can't avoid getting stuck against a god that can easily interrupt you. cyclonic posted:It doesn't necessarily mean the build is good though - for example, the most popular build for Chronos has Hastened Fatalis which is not a good item for him. Just one of those things that makes you roll your eyes when you see it in a game. "Did you even read what his drat abilities do?" syriquez fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Jan 18, 2015 |

He's just ahead of Vamana for win rate in League (Vamana is 54.03% and 13th place). This sort of thing is actually mentioned in today's Gametrailers Smite video ( http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/bxqmbz/smite-rise-of-a-new-competitor ) -- some gods do much much better in the hands of a very skilled player (like Serqet and Osiris) but in the general populace they fare much worse. I was looking at Smitestuff stats for picks/bans in League and Serqet is almost never banned out - Mercury almost always is instead. SWC isn't really a good measure of how well a god is doing, and there's a big gap between League and Normal conquest as well. You'll never see Hades in a League game, but he's one of the top gods in the game overall (according to HiRez) because he's easy to play and easy to win with for more casual players.

Well that makes me feel slightly better. There's also the fact that I don't know much about gearing warriors. I've played mostly baachus and loki, the gods I played the most before I got the god pack. Scylla is fun but tricky. So much getting one shot by loki, but holy crap, when she connects it is brutal. Every once in a while I would place her 2 then be forced to retreat, and then suddenly I would get a kill while standing in my base.

He's just ahead of Vamana for win rate in League (Vamana is 54.03% and 13th place). You can't really compare like that without looking at pick rates too. In leagues Guan is one of the least picked gods, and most of the least picked gods have high win rates because they're only picked in leagues by people that play only that god, so they'll be doing better than average anyways since they know the god and every matchup inside and out.

Got my feet wet in Arenas and had finding a God to get my groove on is fun and played some Assault games. gently caress the Bee guy and some cock eater with missiles that seemed to one shot me every time. I'll be looking to get into the Clan, my username is Sperg.
