These people did the exact same thing with their game.
Vote for your wallet and time, they should've just updated smite instead of just making a "new" game.
this will be a new thing a lot of game companies will do if we keep allowing this to happen, but, it will still happen because a lot of people will eat garbage because they can and don't care. money is money right? even if you have millions, you will still buy because you can and want to.
I wanted to support them, I love the zeus skin but I don't want to support a greedy company.

why the ♥♥♥♥ are people complaining about cash grab in a f2p game?

[azombieee]

I mean, if it's completely reworked game I think it's fair to pay them for their work just like any other service you use or game you buy. Much cheaper than other games that charge $25+ for each DLC anyway. Plus it's free to play anyway, once it's fully released.

[celoteck (GER)]

It's a complete rework. It needed to be a complete rework. They won't shut the original smites servers down any time soon. It's free to play.

same game, new engine...

The ISle did it for free, UE4 to UE5 upgrade... sad that ppl get scammed like that.

[Disturbed]

The game will be free to play when it comes out, just like smite 1.
you can just wait till that happens, these founders pack are for people that want "limited" skins and founder rewards like double legacy gems which is what you're paying for.

this is in no way comparable to ARK.

also about the whole "they should have just updated smite" thing. how were they supposed to do that with that old engine that just keeps crashing and is horrible to update? they were going to have to use a different engine anyway, so why not make an entirely new game?

The entire item store will get a rework, with a whole new itemization system.
Gods will get a rework and some of them will be changed or balanced.
And there will be an entire new engine which will be something they can keep working with in the future.

Sounds like a new game to me.

Welp, this post definitely convinced me to buy the Ultimate Founders pack. WHOOPSIES.

[Rave Pathfinder.]

Not buying it lamo

[Guts]

I mean it's been awhile since I've played but......does anyone else think this looks 100% identical to Smite 1? lol, seems more comparable to "Overwatch 2.0"

The whole time I felt like I was astral projecting and watching myself buy the ultimate founders pack.

If all 1500+ skins would carry over it would take years anyway, to recreate all of them.

the people that think everything should just carry over for free are naive children most likely that do not understand that its actually a lot of work to port all these skins over especially if you do not even get paid for it (since a lot of people might actually own them already)

they also wouldn't have time to create any new skins because they would just have to re-release the 100's of skins we already had in smite 1.

its mostly all the skins we got for free that wont be coming over all the ones through viewer points and all the ones through twitch, thats what they are truly mad at, big deal we will get smite 2 skins the same way, and yeh people think they will just click import and have everything look like garbage, those same people would then complain their skins look like crap in the game if they did just "import" thats why they said any that do come they basically redo from scratch, redraw remodel reanimate

ARK Survival Ascended has peak 24 Hours with 30 000 players
ARK Survival Evolved ( The old ) Has 29 000 players last 24 hours.

Survival Ascended has like not even half of the content yet that Ark 1 has, and already beaten it in players. Keep in mind that this does not show the crossplay players aswell, just steam.

As someone who has spent over 1500 in ARK, its a good game for a relative ok price.
Keep in mind there are 475 Dinos in ARK, all modeled, Textured, Animated and effects. Thats alot of work.

I got 2300 hours in smite and spent 1200$ in smite. I gladly change to Smite 2

Because UE4 -> UE5 is streamlined and works

UE3 to UE5 does not...

Also The Isle started the update to UE5 a year ago and is not even done anytime soon... They also been in like developement hell since 2015.... Thats 9 years now.
