[Console]Patch Day Discussion/Bug Report Megathread- "Rally to Rome" 4.23

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 05:14 AM PST

Rally where? Rally here!


New Skins and Emotes:

Skin Obtain
Defiant Bellona Odyssey
Abyssal Knight Ares
Order and Chaos Hel Odyssey
Badlands Vulcan Odyssey
Discorida Masteries Normal
Hel Masteries Normal
Vulcan Masteries Normal

Bug Fixes:


Items:

Jade Emperor's Crown:

  • Jade Emperor's Crown provides a huge spike in defense from Physical Damage dealers early, especially those that rely on scaling values. With it being both good against those building power and those with high base values, we wanted to better define the item's purpose. We are reducing the self protections this item provides, putting the emphasis on the aura effect it brings to the team."

    • Reduced Physical Protection from 60 to 50.

Gladiator's Shield

  • "Gladiator's Shield has been a staple for Warrior's this season, and after multiple balance adjustments it has been brought much closer in its power level to other items. In this patch we want to bring it down only slightly to ensure diversity in Warrior builds."

    • Reduced Physical Protection from 35 to 30

The Executioner

  • "Similar to Gladiator's Shield for Warriors, The Executioner has been a core item in most Hunter builds, whether they are working towards Power, Critical Damage, or On-hit effects. We are reducing the Physical Power it provides to nudge it more in line with other options for Hunters."

    • Reduced Physical Power from 35 to 30.

Devourer's Gauntlet

  • "Devourer's Gauntlets is a powerful item that provides some of the highest cost to stat ratios out there once fully stacked. Historically this item has been on a razor's edge for balance with tweaks quickly pushing it in and out of the core builds of Hunters. Rather than adjust multiple aspects of this item, we are just increasing the cost slightly and pushing back how quickly hunters will be able to begin powering up this item."

    • Increased Cost from 2000 to 2100

Hydra's Lament

  • "Assassins that are more damage oriented have been pushed out in favor of tankier options. While nerfs to items like Titan's Bane helped bring Warrior and Hunter damage into a more fair spot, they did affect Assassins as a side result. Nerfs to items like Gladiator's Shield and Jade Emperor's Crown will also help in this regard, but we want to bring up the overall power of being aggressive with Assassins. Hydra's Lament is a strong boost to Assassins who can weave basic attacks in between their abilities. Assassins who benefit from this item will get an extra punch that will help them burst down squishy Mages and Hunters more effectively."

    • Increased Bonus Basic Attack Damage from 30% to 40%.

Jotunn's Wrath

  • "Jotunn's Wrath is getting a cost reduction which will help ability based Assassins to become more threatening quicker. While Warriors can make use of this level of Cooldown Reduction the need to sacrifice a tankier item to fit this in will push them in a more offensive or defensive choice; which is a serious tradeoff and creates healthy choices for that class."

    • Reduced Cost from 2450 to 2350.

Gods:

Awilix

  • "Awilix is receiving slight tweaks to the ranges of both Moonlight Charge and Gravity Surge. While listed as a 65 range ability, Moonlight Charge was actually reaching distances of 73. This allowed it to damage and knockup players well outside of its targeter and outside of the range of Gravity Surge. While fixing this we could pull Moonlight Charge back to a range of 65, but this would be a large nerf to a character in a mostly solid spot. Moonlight Charge is instead being reduced from 73 units to 70 units and getting a targeter that properly matches. Gravity Surge is getting a slight increase to allow it to connect with any player that gets knocked up by Moonlight Charge, as well as offsetting the small nerf of reducing the range of Moonlight Charge."

  • Moonlight Charge

    • Fixed an issue where this ability went further than the targeter suggested (~73 range rather than the intended 65 range). Increased range of this ability from 65 to 70.
  • Gravity Surge

    • Increased range of this ability from 70 to 75.

Camazotz

  • "Camazotz has been struggling ever since we adjusted the damage of Vampire Bats and the power bonus from Screech. At the time his dominance warranted the nerfs, but through the recent patches it seems like they were a bit too potent. We are reverting the change made to Screech, allowing Camazotz players to benefit from a more powerful echo buff on all of his abilities."

  • Screech

    • Increased Physical Power buff from catching the Echo from 10/15/20/25/30 to 20/25/30/35/40.

Discordia

  • "Discordia has been causing chaos and strife on the Battleground, much to the distaste of the other gods. After watching her initial release, her overall damage and performance is slightly above what we would expect for a character like Discordia. We are reducing the scaling on Strife to lower her late-game burst potential."

  • Strife

    • Reduced Magical Power scaling from 70% to 60%.

Fafnir

  • "Fafnir has a large impact at the highest levels of play, but often struggles to make an impact at other levels of play. High level players are able to use Coerce for game changing plays. Buffing the correct targets at the correct time enables teams to push down objectives at a very quick rate. By increasing the cooldown and reducing the Attack Speed buff teams will have more opportunity to invade a team that is benefiting from Coerce by providing more windows when it is down."

  • Coerce

    • Increased Cooldown from 15s to 16s.
    • Changed Attack Speed buff from 10/20/30/40/50% to 15/20/25/30/35%.

Kukulkan

  • "Everyone's favorite noodle is in a pretty rough spot statistically. His abilities have great potential for farm and damage, and he is always useful to a team with his objective secure, so we looked to give him a slight buff that is more directed around feel. Kukulkan's size and flying style of walking makes him feel like he is moving painfully slow, so we are increasing his base movement speed to help him rotate through the conquest map and make him all-around feel better to play."

  • Base Stats

    • Increased Base Movement Speed from 350 to 355.

Medusa

  • "Medusa has been on the lower end of hunters, having a hard time exerting pressure when it comes to boxing. We are increasing the base damage of Viper Shot to better allow her to box and reward players who can consistently land their Viper Shots."

  • Viper Shot

    • Increased Base Damage from 10/15/20/25/30 to 15/20/25/30/35.

Ra

  • "Ra's performance stats have been continually declining through the second half of Season 4. The god definitely brings unique tools to the table in his abilities to heal his entire team and snipe enemy players from long range. However, his damage output is an at all time low so we are increasing his lowest damaging ability. This ability creates a good amount of risk if Ra wants to use it aggressively, and will give Ra players more flexibility in their play style and give them higher damage potential."

  • Divine Light

    • Increased Base Damage from 60/100/140/180/220 to 70/120/170/220/270.
    • Increased Magical Power from 40% to 55%.
    • Reduced Mana Cost from 60/70/80/90/100 to 60/65/70/75/80.

Susano

  • "Susano has undergone many changes to his damage potential and mobility. After the last round of adjustments his frustration has gone way down, but so has his overall performance. We are bringing back some of his damage with an increase to Wind Siphon base damage."

  • Wind Siphon

    • Increased Base Damage from 60/75/90/105/120 to 80/105/130/155/180.

Hype. Now to wait for 4.24....

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 08:35 AM PST

Please take your time Hi-Rez

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 10:55 AM PST

Once the Odyssey is over please take your time and make bug fixes, maybe have a patch that doesn't have any purchasable stuff. I understand that you are a company that needs to pay it's workers somehow, but you need to look at the long term if you want to keep going.

I know this kind of post has become a weekly, or daily even, post but I want you to understand that the reason this post happens is because people love the game and want to play it. When we feel like the company providing us with hours upon hours of enjoyment sees us as a paycheck instead of a customer or even a fan it hurts... that is what makes people leave this game and what leads to the (I can only assume) declining population of the game.

All we ask is that you take a little time off from making skins focus less on skins and spend more resources on making the game work properly and be a fun experience. As I said before I understand that you are a company that needs to make money somehow, but the reason people play the game is because the game not the skins.

This isn't a post about how shitty Hi-Rez is or anything... this is a post from someone who loves smite and wants to support it. I can only hope that the majority of the community thinks the same.

edit: Sorry if it is formatted weird, not good at this kind of thing

edit 2: u/Coreldan made a good point and I edited to be more reasonable

take a little time off from making skins focus less on skins

PS4 PS+ members, wait on opening any Odyssey Chests you may get today

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 06:22 AM PST

Tomorrow, PS+ members will be getting a PlayStation Plus Pack with 30 skins, 20 gods and voice packs.

Since the Odyssey Chests sometimes includes voice packs, you might want to hold off on opening any of them until after you get that pack. That way, you don't run the risk of getting any that you may get tomorrow for free in the pack.

I'm still missing the Zeus voice pack, for example, and I figure that odds are high that that will be one of the free ones in the pack. Dunno yet for sure because Hi-Rez haven't said anything about it. They'll probably announce it during Patch Notes on Wednesday, but we'll be able to download it tomorrow, December 12, when the PSN store updates.

Here's what it says in a recent post on the PS Blog:

Lastly, for a limited time, PlayStation Plus members can grab the Smite PlayStation Plus Pack for free! The bundle includes 31 Skins, 20 Gods and Voice Packs, plus the Khepri Announcer Pack. The bundle is available from December 12 to January 9.

EDIT: The pack has only been announced for NA. You'll have to check later this week to see if it also comes to EU.

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 04:45 PM PST

As the title suggest what's a god you've never seen someone have a lot of stars on.

All I'm saying is I never see people busting out the 20 star Xbalanque no matter what gamemode I play and I have been playing for 3 years.

How do you beat the super tanky teams?

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 06:10 PM PST

All of my games recently have had 3 tanks on the enemy team every game. What do you do to counter a team with like kuzenbo support, tank rat jungle and Osiris solo? They are diving towers 5 minutes into the game and it is so hard to do anything? And of course nemesis is banned every time.

Would anyone like a chest exclusively with Loading Frames?

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 12:05 PM PST

What if hirez makes a chest exclusively with loading frames in it?

There have been a lot of loading frames that have come out and chances are that you likely missed 1 or 2 that you now really want, so why not give people a chance to get those frames they missed out on and give us a chance at them in a chest filled exclusively with loading frames?

What Moment in SMITE Made You Feel Like an Absolute Pro?

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 10:04 AM PST

What moment do you remember that made you proud of your game sense, skills, and/or tactic?

I remember, I was Erlang Shen, playing with my boyfriend (as Artio) in a game of Clash against a team with a Ganesha. I had thorns. So when Ganesha was running away, low health, with his ult out, I popped them thorns and ran around in little circles until he died. No one noticed...or cared, but I was content.

Players DCing

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 07:14 PM PST

I've waited in 10 minute queues for the last 4 games just to have someone dc right when we all spawn in. There needs to be some sort of actual punishment for this. It ruins the game for everyone and it wastes time.

Odyssey 4.23 making me conquest and thats ok [advice]

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 02:07 PM PST

So in the next few days the Roman odyssey will be pushing me into conquest, somewhere I've only been a couple of times before. If I wind up support (which I don't mind) I'll probably choose Bacchus, as I know him well. In light of the recent debates about classic (2-2-1) vs current (1-2-2) starts, I'm looking for a few tips. Do I start with buffs then go join long lane if the enemy have 2 there, mid otherwise? Just an idea how to spend the first few minutes would be nice. I do watch spl and some streamers so I have some idea how a match flows...

If I don't wind up support, I'm thinking SWK or Odin solo, maybe amc or iza carry, hun batz jungle....I like Zeus but mobility is an issue so maybe thoth?

I just got a deserter penalty for looking at the avatar selection screen.

Posted: 11 Dec 2017 05:10 PM PST

I just logged on and was going through the store. I was looking at the avatars and received a message saying I was given a 1 minute deserter penalty and kicked back to the log in screen. The most confusing part is I wasn't even in queue.
