Why do I have to pay for a skin I already have in Smite 1?

[Shaky]

Hi-Rez sold the supporter packs with the idea that people would have Legacy gems and they said that they would work to move the skins to Smite 2, but their policy is that they only give you crossgen skins or divine legacy skins, do you seriously intend for your players to lose more than 300 or 500 skins that they have in Smite 1 and on top of that if you release them in Smite 2, you don't intend to give them to them? I already have several Classic skins in Smite 1 and they make me pay for them in Smite 2, this is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shame

Nothing less you'd expect from greedy Hi rez. Company and game is clearly going bankrupt having 7500 gem name colours in store XD.

thats what they gave legacy gems for, you can buy them for 100% gems.
For real they should add some favor-like currency and allow to unlock gods for it, and put the music chest purchasable for that favor-like currency, would help free people acquire characters and still have a meaning for those who have all.

honestly i wish they would give us the classic skins we own in smite 1 for free in smite 2. i was willing to over look the whole skins not transferring thing but the current prices for the classic skins is doubled of what it costed in smite 1.

im honestly just gonna save my gems for the new stuff and avoid anything from smite 1.

They are, use the classic gems for that. They even let you choose not to buy the skins you had and spend them on something else

im fully aware of that, im just saying that classic skins should be rewarded for said players that already own it in smite 1 despite having legacy gems. having to buy it again at a higher price than it was just sucks. i get legacy gems are like a refund for losing everything and it gives us old players a choice of buying a skin again if we wanted it.

though it be cool if we old players that own a classic skin get a limited challenge or something to earn it back or get at least get it at its original price but i know that wont happen sadly.

Oh look, a bunch of idiots that don't understand that the Smite 1 port skins that aren't cross-gen you literally get to buyback with just legacy gems. You know, the gems you earned from buying stuff in Smite 1? It's literally impossible for me to understand how you mouth breathers still don't get the point of that. New Smite 2 players = pay money for Smite 1 skins. Old Smite 1 players = use legacy gems to get the skins back they already had. Derp Derp Derp Derp Derp.

this person above me wants the clown award

It's funny how you have literally nothing to respond with so that's all you say. You mouth breathers hate the game so much yet you can't seem to just leave. Imagine having two braincells fighting for 3rd place and trying to continue a gotcha post without having a basic understanding that what they are doing with ported skins makes perfect sense from every aspect. You dorks have no idea how much work it takes to port the skins over, and you think it would make sense for them to potentially bug out that work by the skins being grabbed for free by a new players? Riiiiight, makes perfect sense.

When you bought a skin in smite 1, and its available in smite 2, did you not receive it for free if it was a crossbuy skin? If it is a classic skin, they should have given you legacy gems for free, so you can trade them for the skin at now cost. or you can use the legacy gems instead to just get half off a smite 2 skin or god pass.

They arent charging you to rebuy any skins at all. There will of course be skins from smite 1 that wont be in smite 2, which sucks, but it would literally take the devs years to port those skins because UE3 doesnt straight port to UE5.

But at no place in smite 2 have i had to rebuy a skin with my money that i already bought ins mite1
