So skins...

[BlairiesTTV]

I'm late to the party and was a long time smite player in the past didnt even know smite was getting a (2) ... i think i quit around the time thor got a gundam type skin ~ first time we had a transform skin pretty much~ So i gotta ask. i have a lot of the older skins and was wondering if they will be transfering. I'm all for buying new skins but i dont think i could play something that attempts to get me to rebuy the same skins again..

Nope. Nothing transfers.

You start from zero, and you get some amount of currency based on how much you spent on Smite 1 - and you can use that currency to fund up to 50% of the price of new purchases.

New skins have extremely inflated prices as well.

Damn.... well thanks for taking your time out to respond. Appreciate it.

I failed to find an account linking process in-game? Or even a way to sign in w/ my HiRez acc. I originally played on the launcher for this game back in beta/alpha.

I thought I saw somewhere that they'll be transferring some of the skins you had in Smite 1... eventually. I think it was an ingame tooltip when it told me to log into Smite 1 to link my account. Don't quote me on it but I think it's on the "eventually maybe probably" pile.

Skins won't matter in case if Smite 2 F2P release flops in January.

Not sure how you can ♥♥♥♥ over your existing player base so much by not porting over already spent cosmetics properly.

It's completely understandable that we "dont own it" it doesnt change that its a pretty shiddy thing to do. Like i said earlier i didnt even know a (2) existed but im not going to lie. it almost looks like the same exact game so i would somewhat expect that if skins are ported over it would be free for people who already owned them. But someone kindly replied to my question.

It pretty much stopped me from even considering getting back into it if it turns out to be true.

So you play online games only for skins?

One generally begins playing for the gameplay, the settings, etc ;
One often keeps playing for sense of progression (skins, unlocking gods/characters, maxing masteries/builds, etc)
That's the main way f2p/live service games keep players around
I would be curious to know an online game that has barely any type of progression mentioned above and is still very active
(I know a f2p game that has a nice gameplay, content early game is fairly important, not p2w at all but barely any endgame content, no challenging or longterm achievements - that could also unlock cosmetics or anything that would feel rewarding to players.
Basically : a very nice solo game equivalent to offline games but it's a dead game in terms of online, live service game)
