So that's just another DOTA clone, though in 3D this time?
I honestly fail to see how this "genre" can back-up the hype around it. It's all the same towers+waves of mobs boredom all over again in different colors, what's so interesting about it?
The genre isn't for everyone, if you don't like MOBA's you're not gonna like this. Simple as that. I'm not going to try to convince you it's awesome when it's clear you have no interest. It's similar to League, HoN, Dota 1&2.
Yah, I really enjoy it.
I play with a few people in the cRPG community - Smoothrich, Coy, Tristran.
If your into MOBA's this might peek your interest. I recently got a beta invite to Smite which is a 3rd person over the back, much like warband MOBA. The game is similar to League of Legends, HoN, and Dota 1&2 expect not top down view. All of the skills are skill shots or AoE's of sort and I'm having a blast with the game. It's really fun.
The game is currently in Beta but you can buy the game and get access right away. I also think it comes with 2 beta invites to invite your friends with. Buying the game also give you all the gods to play from the get go.
Does anyone else play?

Not really too much of a big fan of LoL, HoN tbh. But this being 3d makes it look a bit more..interesting so to speak. If i have barely any knowledge about this kind of games (not played much LoL, HoN or Dota 1-2) will i have trouble playing Smite?You should be fine! I picked this up after playing maybe....10 total games of Dota 2 and some Dota in W3, and I hit the ground running! The fact that there's an option for auto purchasing and auto leveling makes Smite very noob friendly!
Ah, damn wish i had a beta key then lol. Hope it'll get released soon though then.
This game is the shit. Been playing all night last night.
Im hooked as well. Guan Yu is retarded good.He's the only healing god as of yet, correct? Prepare to be nerfed!
anubis anubis anubis.
I may be interested.
I'm just a bit afraid my computer won't be up to date, though the skill's effect doesn't seem much.
Anyone with a 3 years old computer playing this with success ?
Weird, after i activated the key i'm not getting any extra keys to give away..
Edit: Saw others at forums also didn't get theirs. Dammit
I got my 3 other keys like 2 mins after I registered mine. (Thanks Sequel)
shouldve bought guan yu to grief the shit out of the game for the rest of the week, or either Agni or He Bo to play an actually good caster.
Ra isn't very good either, if you think he's a strong mid pusher and ganker, wait until you lane against a good Agni :twisted:
Anubis is good just gotta learn him.
I tried it and man, is it a good game.
Not really sure on whatheroGOD to unlock if I get there once, Hebo seems to be really badass.
I mean, killing with WATER? Hell yeah.

He BO is really good. This one He Bo was bodying a Ra at mid when I played. He's got some great knock backs as well.
ALSO SHAMEFUR U LURED ME TO GET ANUBIS MAN! :( I will cry myself to sleep for that
Anubis is a difficult god to play at first. Squishy as all get out and a bit on the slow side. Definitely keep your distance with Anubis. Get the reinforced boots to give you a little hp bonus and get decent physical/magic protection.(You're still going to be really squishy not matter what) Keep your max range and don't push forward without creeps helping you out. Anubis will lose most 1v1 fights if you don't land mummify. Land that and then do your plague of locusts grasping hands combo followed by your ultimate and the enemy will be dead or severely injured and on the run. Anubis just shit stomps in right or left lane scenarios on the rare occasion you aren't going mid.
These guy are unbearable spergs, but this guy plays Anubis pretty well.

Does this shitty game has a champion like Teemo ?(click to show/hide)
Berenger is a sissy who GTXs midgame.
Just sayin'. :mrgreen:
Cuz our team were derping :/ Also hard to play when im raging lol.
Also Guan is so OP. damn u smooth :wink:
FYI we had the upperhand for like 10-15 minutes. With you there, we could've destroyed them.
NAWT!
Everyone playing my Sobek.
You forgot the most important part of all of this, protect your Guan Yu, and get him fed. If possible, die in loo of your Guan. If you feel no one on your team is capable of playing him, you should pick Guan Yu. Imagine that you're playing Dota and Guan is your Agi carry. Except that he has an amazing early, mid, and late game.
Also, Hirez should change the game name to DotG, defense of the Guan-Yu, as that is what 8 ppl in the game will be doing. May the best Guan win.
On the side note, surprisingly I'm starting to like this game. Especially the thematic and tied up universe. Though I still want JHVH in the game with skills like "Off with you, Sodoma!" which would be AoE with stun for every enemy within view range and nice atomic mushroom.
Anyway, I'm playing Ymir ATM and enjoying him a great deal, his cc abilities are so good for ganking. I can't decide who to buy next actually, thinking about something which isn't too squishy (played Ra for one game, the horror) and also has some cc abilities. Hades perhaps? Fear+shadowstep sound nice.
Btw SeQuel or anyone. Who would y'all consider the best god for defense? Basically someone who can maybe lay out traps or pretty much hold a stand at the towers the best so to speak. Not necessarily the best for rushing enemy but great at defense?
I got Hades and have played much with him now. My thoughts bout him? He looks like a badass. However, he deals pretty low dmg. Even if you upgrade him he does ok but. Thing is. You'll never win a 1v1 with him and the only way for you to get any kills is by stealing. However he's so good at giving enemies debuffs. And his Pillar of Agony rapes the enemy good.
i'd say you should get Sobek. Great tank and saw a guy suprisingly solo left lane by himself and got tons of kills. I like it as well.
Geez, I get such an idiot teams after hitting level 5.
As Artemis I pushed 2 lanes simultaneously, nailed a Guan player twice so bad, he had no chance to retailate or run, then when we start to push, the dumbarses vote for a surrender, 4 to 1. I was the only one voting no, and they said that "art sucked."
Best is when one of the idiots in your team decides it's a good day to be a troll and starts suicide charging. For 45 mins.
That's still a softcore scenario, Christo. Best is when one of the idiots in your team decides it's a good day to be a troll and starts suicide charging. For 45 mins.
Berenger is probably having guan yu related nightmares right now. We had some.. rough matches today. :mrgreen:
Or GTXs, right, Berengar? :rolleyes:
Artemis facerolling much? :wink:
I'm quite enjoying Sobek, though he certainly lacks damage. GET-OVER-HERE!/Death Grip ability is awesome though for catching ranged off guard in lane.
BTW. Every time I see a Ho-Bo he goes 27/4 or something. OP much?
Me and Karma had a Guan and a Ra feed a lane yesterday and make baby go 14-0 in lane.
That was cool..
Minotaur is now invulnerable until a Phoenix has died in a lane
New Item::O
Fatalis
This item provides critical strike chance, attack speed and movement speed
First 10 K - 0 D - 10 A game with Anubis. Going to get a tank hero next. Here's looking at you, Hades.
*Shrug* suppose to be like 35 gods upon release so not for a very long time.
I really like him too, but I always end up being killed.
How are you playing him? Tell me a few tips haha
Hades.
Does.
Not.
Make.
Jokes.
Do you guys use a cooldown% item at all?
I find buying one very handy, especially with something so weird like Hades.
If you want to stomp bads, I strongly suggest Agni, and go mid. He might get nerfed soon because he's the go to pick for mid in every high level game, except against pro players playing aggressive melees, but most games won't have someone that good in them.
Level your dash first, get reinforced boots level 2 and mana pots. Every time a creep wave comes, dash across all of them and you will clear the whole wave starting at level one. The counter to this is to stand in the wave for a second if you are against an Agni, so your creeps all aggro to him and he takes lots of harrass. But with armor boots, it doesn't matter much.
Get your stun next, and if they are playing poorly just drop your fumes on your dash wave for a 2 second stun. All your creeps will start hitting him, doing tremendous early harrass and forcing him to turtle tower.
Now you max your nuke, and can repeat the above steps, but throw in your nuke (which also triggers your fumes to stun!) and you will force him out of lane, and this gives you silly maximum reach to stun.
Finally, if you aren't done schooling your scrub opponent mid, you hit 5 and get your ult. The area is huge, it costs no mana, and it does a ton of damage early. Do the same steps, but if you catch him good with a stun, drop all dem ults on him for a kill. If you force him to retreat to tower, you can still easily ult him for a kill. Almost any mid opponent, once you figure out Agni, will feed you some kills and you get their tower early.
Now go to sidelanes and gank the shit out of them with all the above tricks, utilizing your dash to escape from any danger. Dash then put fumes behind you to stun any chasers, or do it offensively for tons of DOT.
Gratz, you now know how to stomp games as Agni!
Item build: Reinforced boots 2 + mana pots. Warlocks Sash +3 (so easy to farm charges), finish boots, then Obsidian Shard so your ult hits even harder early game. Gem of Isolation to give all of your abilities a punishing slow, then you get Chronos Pendant (CD reduction) to get stacks of ult quicker, and a Rod of Tahuti to max out your DPS.
He doesn't scale too well with damage into the late game, but your stun provides a ton of utility and you are amazing at finishing people off with big snipes of your ult, pushing lanes, getting jungle buffs (walk the creeps on your path of flames) and generally being a huge pain in the ass to deal with.
Enjoy stomping noobs!
This game is amazing.
SeQual ty for posting the beta key I used it and I'll start playing Smite probs tomorrow. SO tired of the LoL community so hopefully this one will be better I understand all moba's have teh uber trollz but a guy can dream cant he? :D
i didn't read through the entire thread, so if this has been said before i apologize.
I enjoyed this game a lot. My problem with it, is the exact same problem i had with Tribes: Ascend. (the other f2p by hi-rez) I immediately noticed that after you stopped leveling that you got jack shit for favor. did the math and it would take, on average, 30 hours to unlock a new god, winning every fucking game you play.
why the hell would I do that when i can play LOL at a leisurely pace and unlock a new champ every few days?
I fucking wouldn't.
Ever again.
