legacy gems practically useless

[Jatt]

pretty much none of the skins i bought and enjoyed are being ported over from what i read

so my 90k gems worth of ♥♥♥♥ in smite one is pretty much gone forever, and the only way to make it worth it is to effectively buy 90k worth of the new currency to use it at all since all it does is give a discount on non classic skins, what a joke

Guys it's the same MOBA.

Very understandable that they want to profit on a....remaster. But i'm not a bank nor an investment firm. If it's not a remaster, they aren't exactly selling that very well. So don't excuse it on that merit.

They should have released a new IP if they wanted to directly profit, or you know, charge me for unlocking all the gods, which is at least a somewhat fair proposal.

Especially with indy companies like GGG releasing the most massive game on steam that is still top 5 since early december, and ports all your old skins into a NEW GAME, with new skins coming for direct purchase, wow fair. With this supreme example in steams realm, they came up with this weak offering like no one would notice or care. Very very BAD timing haha

Yall can pretend people play this for the game, but after thousands of hours i can tell you, having the skins keeps you going. Changes up the same gameplay just a tiny bit, with just the right amount of distributed "fomo".

You could have attracted all the old vets who hung it up, ready with new money. But poor decisions will leave you sucking your thumb.

As it stands this game has less players than smite 1. POE 2 costs money for EA just like this game and there are more people playing it compared to part 1. SURPRISE, people want to invest.

Enough free opinions, RIP old friend.

maybe because PoE has no real competition among Diablo-like games? What competition? Diablo by Blizzard while Smite has to survive among what? League of Legends and Dota 2 that have been around for more years than Smite is? The only reasons why Smite survived are

- 3rd person
- mythology.

Try to google how many game were created as Moba games as 3rd person after Smite. Paragon? That got abandoned and closed by a huge company like Epic Games? Other games like what? They are all top down like LoL or Dota 2. Deadlock? I am sorry but Deadlock is more like Battleborn than Smite. It's more shooterish than MOBAish in a traditional sense.

Been playing since Smite 1 Beta and I agree with you, tons of legacy gems and what you can do with it? nothing unless you buy the new currency.

This is factually inaccurate. We have 4 "Classic" skins in SMITE 2 right now that are available for just Legacy Gems without any need to buy Diamonds and we're going to start aggressively adding more Classic skins. We took some time off from adding skins to the game to focus on growing the god roster as fast as we possibly could, but we're going to switch to a more balanced approach for the remainder of 2025.

I could only find 2: Tokyo Knight Ares and Joki. Unless I own the other 2 of them but I doubt that, I only have divine legacy and BP cross-gen stuff.

I have:
Embalmed and Blight Hound Anubis
Funky Grooves Bacchus
Infernal Mace Chaac
Batter Up Herc
Unmasked Warrior Mulan
Eliminator Loki
Hot Diggity Odin
Meltdown Sol
Mint Choco Ymir

Yea, Smite was already dying, they're trying to push Smite to a new engine with less content and the goodwill of keeping our Skin collections and Gem's used intact is non-existent. I already had the God pack in Smite 1 and got the Founder's Edition of Smite 2 so i don't have to re-unlock Gods, but they should also be giving players access to any Gods they unlocked in Smite 1 back to them.

If they want to keep their old playerbase baseline happy:

A: All skins that are ported over that they already had in Smite 1 are given to them for free in Smite 2.
B: Any skin the player owned that is not ported over should be converted to gems/diamonds to buy other skins. No new purchases or need to grind a different currency necessary.
C: All Gods they unlocked in Smite 1 should be converted over to Smite 2. Gods not in Smite 1 still need to be unlocked via other means. (So no new gods)

That's just common courtesy if you're just converting the game over to a new engine. It's basically the same game just "Remastered". If you can't keep the customers happy, why would they want to start from scratch with Smite 2? They're losing out on access to things they ALREADY had access to.

With Marvel Rivals hitting it big recently, there's a lot of competition in the team Moba-esque market. The last thing you'd want to do is piss off your remaining customers. Otherwise Smite 2 is just going to be the nail in the coffin for Smite.

Hot Diggity Odin is another Classic skin, along with Meltdown Sol.

Yeah but those are earnable for free from drops so do they really count towards the 4?

Thx for the info!

Fair point. I only include them because not everyone that has Legacy Gems pays attention to the various drop systems we engage with.

Aight thx!

It might help if those skins had the info about drops in their description (more than the vague info we have by default).

its still disheartening knowing that like $200+ of ♥♥♥♥ is gone all for the sake of a big 2 slapped on the name, Im almost certain none of the skins i enjoy are gonna be ported over, leaving me with a heaping pile of legacy gems i probably wont use even in 5 years if at all.

Sure the graphics are great, Im sure the engine will enable the team to do more with the game, thats all well and good, but its still hurts knowing most of my skins probably wont be ported over.

these guys expect to buy smite 2 skins for free and want all smite 1 skins right now or its a "scam" cause they didnt read the fact that skins will slowly come over, never mind the fact that everyone got refunded for every gem they spent in smite 1 as a bonus so they could get smite 1 stuff in smite 2 for free but nah these guys throw a fit instead cause its not there yet, not only that but they are apparently really good armchair devs that know everything lmao,

legacy gems do alot and its not our problem you havnt learned what they are for and do, go back to smite 1

Do we get all champs too if we bought the pack?

As a gamer myself, I absolutely understand the sentiment and concern. I guarantee you that we will give you plenty of content to potentially consume your Legacy Gems, but I can't possibly confirm that the skins you enjoyed the most will be making it across into SMITE 2, as we're using a data driven system to understand which skins should be brought over. While that gets us the widest net, it absolutely does not mean that everyone is going to be satisfied with the results. Given a long enough run way, we would love to bring over 75% or more of the skins from SMITE 1, but if we're unable to bring in enough money to sustain a team of sufficient size to do that for many years to come, we'll never get close to reaching that percentage. That's not me attempting to persuade anyone to buy into SMITE 2, just openly and honestly sharing our hopes and the financial realities that might hamper our goals.

I just feel sorry for you. There are so many idiots who just hate on you while it's simple understanding. I hope you just don't listen to these haters and do your job so Smite 2 can sustain.
