5 April 2017 - 4.6 Patch Notes - "Racer Rumble"

Posted: 05 Apr 2017 01:00 PM PDT

Patch notes can be watched here.

Please keep all patch discussion to this thread

Patch notes can be found here

"It's time for Patch 4.6, featuring large scale balance adjustments to Hades, a more Mystical Rush from Ravana, and probably our craziest concept yet : Apollo's Racer Rumble.

With the upcoming Spring Split LANs, this patch is light on balance changes, instead focusing on more specific aspects – like Healing or the Hades adjustments. We expect to ramp this back up in our 4.7 patch where we begin to get ready for the Summer Split.

You also didn't read the first sentence wrong. Our next SMITE Adventure drops this patch and it is a racing mode. Pick from a cast of gods, get in their themed cars (yes, cars) and drive through two tracks with obstacles, items, and drifting.

We are excited to see your reactions to the latest Adventure and we will see you on the Battlegro…ahem…Road of the Gods!"

Skins, etc

.

  • Ratatoskr Dance Emote

General

  • Fixed an issue where a few gods had incorrect values for their Basic Attacks on the "K" screen.

Apollo's Racer Rumble

"Welcome to Apollo's Racer Rumble, an all new racing game mode! Choose your God, hop into their car, and be the first to cross the finish line in this new Adventure! Included with this Adventure is the Racer Bundle which will unlock everything listed below and allow an unlock for an Adventure Vault Skin with the Gold Key.

  • Racer Bundle
    • Winner's Circle Apollo, Racer Pedestal, Gold Key, Music Theme, Racer Ward Skin
    • Lap Rewards - 1 through 9
    • Gold Key Skins: Intergalactic Chang'e

Items

Rod of Asclepius/Rod of Healing

  • "As Season 4 has continued to develop, we've seen healers become quite strong and become high priority picks at all levels of play. Items like Rod of Asclepius and Shield of Regrowth have contributed the most to the recent rise of healers. We previously adjusted Shield of Regrowth to address some of these strengths but feel Rod of Asclepius needs to come down in strength as well to avoid nerfing healing characters directly."
    • Reduced Healing Bonus from Passive in combat from 20% → 10% (Total Healing Bonus reduced from 30% → 20%).

Runic Shield

  • "Runic Shield can weaken the opposing Mages and Guardians, but was often too slow offensively and defensively to justify players picking it up. We are upping the defensive strength of Runic Shield to make it a stronger counter item."

    • Added 100 health.

Shield of Thorns

  • Fixed an issue where the Tooltip for Shield of Thorns displayed an incorrect % reflect amount.

Gods

Athena

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where using Athena's Ultimate could cause her to gain collision against allied units.

Awilix

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where Awilix could T-pose if hit by Cernunnos' Ultimate.

Hades

  • "The King of the Underworld has had a long history in SMITE and with this patch we aim to solidify his identity while cleaning up his mechanics to be more intuitive. To better serve his Mage title, we are looking to increase his Damage significantly (especially his single target) at the cost of some of his previous Guardian Stats.*

  • Previously, Devour Souls only did it's Detonate Damage to targets around the Detonated target and not the actual Blighted target itself. Devour Souls will now deal it's Detonate Damage to that target as well, providing an additional 20/27/34/41/48 (+50% Magical Power) in these scenarios. This combined with Death from Below now dealing respectable damage will make Hades have much more burst. Pillar Of Agony is also seeing a buff to its Protections allowing Hades to scale into the late game and to make up for some of the base stat reductions Hades is seeing. Additionally Pillar of Agony will now reduce a Blighted target's Magical Protection before the first tick of damage and will no longer consume that Blight, giving Hades more options once his ultimate ends."

  • Base Stats

    • Reduced Physical Protection scaling from 3.2 → 2.6.
    • Reduced Base Health from 490 → 450.
    • Increased Base Attack Speed from .87 → .95.

  • Death From Below

    • Increased Damage from 50/85/120/155/190 → 70/120/170/220/270.

  • Shroud of Darkness

    • Reduced Mana cost from 80 → 60.

  • Devour Souls

    • This ability now deals Detonate Damage to the Target being Detonated.
    • Reduced Mana cost from 65/75/85/95/105 → 60/65/70/75/80.
    • Added new FX to show the radius of the Detonate from the affected Targets.
    • Added new FX to show the radius during the warm up.

  • Pillar of Agony

    • Increased Protections from 60/65/70/75/80 → 60/70/80/90/100.
    • Pillar of Agony no longer consumes Blight.
    • Blighted Targets will now have their Magical Protections reduced before taking the first tick of damage.

Hou Yi

  • "Hou Yi has been under-performing lately. While his Abilities can be quite strong, his base stats were outliers for most other Hunters. We are bringing these up to ease his build paths and provide a subtle bump in power."

  • Base Stats

    • Increased Base Attack speed from .9 → .95.
    • Increased Base Power from 38 → 40.

Kukulkan

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where Kuku Kukulkan had invisible Basic Attack FX.

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where Medusa's Lacerate would highlight Minions as if they would be hit.
    • Fixed an issue where Acid Spray would not highlight enemies behind Medusa Statues.

Nemesis

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where Nemesis couldn't use her second dash if her Mana was below a certain amount.

Raijin

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where Raijin's passive would not be correctly consumed by Raiju.

Ravana

"Mystic Rush is seeing a slight redesign to better enable Ravana to engage into fights and call a target for his teammates to focus down. Along with higher Base Damage, Mystic Rush now provide Ravana with a 50% Damage Reduction buff at all times. The old linking ended up being both difficult to use and confusing to play against, resulting in us making this change. All targets hit also take 10% increased Damage from all sources, giving Ravana better tools to deal with front-line tanks and back line squishies alike."

  • Mystic Rush
    • Increased Damage from 150/225/300/375/450 → 200/275/350/425/500.
    • The linked target mechanic has been removed.
    • Now provides a 50% Damage Reductions buff to Ravana upon landing.
    • Enemy gods hit by Mystic Rush take 10% increased Damage from all sources.
    • Mystic Rush can now hit Minions.

Skadi

  • "Skadi surprised many players by quickly rising to the top of casual and competitive play, quickly shutting out other Hunters. After taking large amounts of competitive feedback, we are changing Winter's Grasp before the upcoming LAN. Kaldr will no longer be immune to damage while this Ability is active, giving enemy teams the ability to peel Kaldr if they choose to focus him down."

  • Winter's Grasp

    • Kaldr is no longer immune to Damage in this Ability, however, he will still fully heal on activation.

The Morrigan

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where the spectator client would show an incorrect Cooldown for The Morrigan's Relics.

Zeus

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where Zeus Charges would not appear correctly.

TIL Rama Dash got Buffed

Posted: 05 Apr 2017 11:51 AM PDT

Ganesha is a Guardian (did some math)

Posted: 05 Apr 2017 07:57 PM PDT

During the patch-notes show, when they showcased the new Apollo skin, the Apollo dashed through the new god. The Apollo shown was level 20. A fully leveled "The Moves" does 250 damage. The level 1 Ganesha takes 203 damage. Doing some math using the formula for damage mitigated:

Damage taken= Damage Mitigated(100/100+x)

X being number of protections.

250= 203(100/100+x)

X=~23

Warriors have base physical protections of 18-21 at level 1. Guardians have a range of 20-26 for base physical protections at level 1. It is most likely that the newest god to the Battleground is a guardian.

I can't wait for Ganesha.

Tip make sure your e-mail is verified and remember all your recent account transactions, date account is created.

Posted: 05 Apr 2017 02:34 PM PDT

My account got hacked submitted a ticket I provided that hirez rep all accurate information regarding my account, however, since I purchase gems once every year I couldn't remember my last transaction, I did however give him 3 others and gave him names of people who gifted me gems, previous email, passwords, usernames but nope, I couldn't get my account back. Also, he stopped replying to my emails, I've sent him a message of my transactions I.Ds, my account number and more information and he just has 0 interest of recovering my account. Rip account I've had for 4 years with thousands of hours of game time and Masters in conquest. It hurts.

TLDR: Make sure you keep records of everything you do on smite, customer support is terrible.

4.6 Patch Notes - Spoils (Non-April's Fools Edition)

Posted: 05 Apr 2017 07:02 AM PDT

Patch Notes will happen at 4PM EDT (10PM CEST). Watch on Twitch and YouTube

As always: Please refrain from sharing any leaked content which doesn't come from the official Smite social media, HiRez employees or related officials. It goes against the purpose of this thread and it can cause problems. Thank you.

Also remember that Datamining is always in flux, never final and often doesn't tell the truth. For the sake of avoiding misinformation, especially since release dates are usually unpredictable: Datamining will not be included, except when said content is spoiled.

Complete Patch Notes and PTS Infos for 4.6 "Racer Rumble" are here!

The Good Stuff - Newest first!

  • Apollo Skin

    • Card Art - Twitter - Imgur
    • Teaser Art - Twitter - Imgur - "One, Two, Three, Four, Five - Everybody in the car, so come on let's ride [...]"

  • This patch will NOT have a god release. The upcoming god has been delayed until 4.7 - Twitter

Early Teasers - Content which hasn't been fully revealed yet or is up for speculation.

  • Athena Skin - Early Teasers

  • Stew: "Interested to see feedback on this week's SMITE Patch Notes. Trying a pretty unusual experiment this patch." - Twitter

    • This is more likely to be related to the stream/show itself, rather than doing any experiment in terms of skins or balance changes.

  • This patch will be light on balance changes, because of upcoming LANs - Twitter

Miscellaneous Info and other (unconfirmed) spoils for future patches

Note: Some spoils in this section may or may not have a chance of being shown today, as they came early and without a correlating patch number.

  • Awilix will receive the next Community Skin, which will be "Angelic"-themed - Twitter #1 - Twitter #2

  • Hades is seeing QOL changes and/or bug fixes, mainly to his passive and ultimate - Twitter - "[...] working on making Blight not consumed by PoA. Plus 1st hit proc fix and more!"

    • No date has been given for this spoil. Since this should be considered a "Work in progress", some or all of it might not happen.

  • Thoth could (or could not) be seeing some sort of change this patch, probably balance-related - Twitter #1 - Twitter #2

  • There are some T2 skins in the works, perhaps we will see one today - Twitter

  • Something Corgi-related is in the works - Twitter - Imgur "

  • Unknown Spoil #1 - Twitter - Imgur

    • This could be related to a certain future god release.

  • Unknown Spoil #2 - Twitter - Imgur

    • This could be adventure-related, or maybe a Summer Event.

  • Patch 4.7 will be a big patch for balance, leading up to the summer split - Twitter

  • Coinciding with the removal of Rituals last patch, 3K Pots may be looked at in the future - Reddit

  • The wisdom tab is still being worked on - Twitter

Console Updates

  • 4.5 will arrive on Consoles by the end of the week at the earliest, might even be pushed back to next week - Twitter - Reddit - "Due to updated protocols in certification [...]"

  • Since 4.6 is a patch that will introduce a new Adventure, don't expect it on Consoles earlier than in ~3 weeks from now

This is a WIP, please post anything that I left out. Don't forget your source links!

A note to all players

Posted: 05 Apr 2017 05:45 PM PDT

I've just recently picked up Smite again and I realize why I played it so much over a year ago, but seeing this I've also noticed one of the main reasons why I quit playing in the first place. To put it bluntly, there are quite a lot of people who seem to literally be trying to make the people on their team's day worse. I get it if you're upset because you're on a loss streak or if you've had something bad happen to you IRL, but that certainly doesn't mean you should be treating others terribly, especially since you have no idea what their lives are like. This community has so much potential to be great in so many ways. I know this may seem like a waste of time to post, but I just want everyone who reads this to stop and think about things. When was the last time you performed your best when you've had someone yelling at you all game or spamming the oh so common "VER VVX" in chat when you do anything slightly wrong or at all? Honestly, the toxicity really needs to stop or this community will not live up to its potential. I hope that at least some people will come to realize that something as simple as saying "VVGR" can help your team and maybe even help make someone's day a little bit better. What're your thoughts on the community as of now? Any changes you guys would like to see happen?

Quick Smite Performance tweak if you use Microsoft OneDrive on your PC

Posted: 05 Apr 2017 06:20 AM PDT

For anyone who uses Microsoft OneDrive client to sync to OneDeive cloud storage. If you have the default setup then you will be copying up your 'Documents>My Games' folder.

HiRez (and many other game publishers) use this folder to store the temporary and config data for you game. Like launcher files, debug files and some pointless nonsense.

The content of this folder changes every single time you launch Smite. So onedirve tries to process these changes over and over again. Not to mention the realtime log data changes very frequently.

You can exclude folder from OneDrive using this process: https://www.howtogeek.com/222817/how-to-configure-onedrive-to-sync-only-certain-folders-in-windows-10/

I would stress though that the default behaviour is to delete the local content off your PC (stupid I know, but I didn't create it). So make a copy of your 'My Games' folder outside of your Document folder before you change the onedrive settings. Then move it back AFTER you make the onedrive changes.

This will stop the content of this folder being constantly scanned and uploaded.

Better Skadi Nerf!

Posted: 05 Apr 2017 06:23 PM PDT

Instead of that retarded nerf HiRez proposed, why doesnt she basically not regain Kaldir's health bars?

For example, K has 1 health point, he ults, he still has 1 heath point but is immune, when immunity finishes, he still has 1 health point..

I don t know what was hirez thinking

It's kind of ridiculous that I potentially have to pay over $100 for one skin that I want.

HiRez Two-Factor Authenticator gone.

Posted: 05 Apr 2017 12:49 PM PDT

So, we have received a working 2FA in... December? We were able to beta-test it for some time:

https://www.smitegame.com/hi-rez-two-factor-authentication/

Additional security measures worked really well and calmed a lot of us, regarding our account security. Without any words, Two-Factor Authentication is gone, swept under the rug.

Hey, devs, we still want 2FA. Why is it gone?
