SMITE 2 IS TRUE SCAM!!!

[Galder]

if you go FAQ page you can see big scam.
1.everything you buy in Smite 1 will turn into gems named Legacy Gem ,but purchases under the name Legacy Gem can only be used for %50 of new purchases in smite 2. It means everyway you must pay for other %50.
2.yet another ''Ultimate God Pack'' arriving but if you already have it from smite 1,its not will be transferred to SMITE 2. another milking.
3.they say we will support SMITE 1 but ''FOR A WHILE''. it means you have forced to play SMITE 2 today or tomorrow.
i am happy with SMITE 1 and i dont want UNREAL ENGINE 5

Honestly this sucks for everyone who spent real money on smite 1, eventually you are just losing 50% of what you already gave them and there is no guarantee you will get the same things you wanted when you purchased them in smite 1 because they will simply not exist and if they come back they could be slightly different.

Personally I never spent a dime on Smite 1 and have almost all of the characters unlocked and I only ever really enjoyed a handful of characters to begin with and only bought skins with the earned currency from playing just for the sake of spending it on something.

For me and others like me Smite 2 will just be a bit of grind to unlock the few characters I want if they exist and that will be that, everything else will be earned the same way in game over time of playing with still no real money spent.

I wish that all players did this to begin with then the player base would not be split and everyone would just move to smite 2 without caring about anything lost.

ANYONE spending money now on Smite 1 skins are simply ripping themselves off and are being scammed by the company for 50% of its value.

EVERYONE needs to know what is happening with Smite and Smite 2 and get informed not to purchase a single thing in Smite 1 anymore until smite 2 is released that is the biggest scam for everyone not being aware of what is about to happen.

The Sales for anything in Smite 1 needs to plummet to 0 immediately in order to not be scammed 50% and you not be able to obtain the same things necessarily even if you do get the 50%.

Everyone that recently purchased something on Smite 1 before knowing about Smite 2 I feel for you the most. I am so sorry for your loss and hope to get the word out to as many as possible so no one else falls victim.

I am the few that can say they didnt get me for a cent and I wish it to be that way for as many as possible moving forward.

IF everyone behaved that way, Smite would have died by now because they would have no money flow.

I never got this argument.
F2P Players who dont spend money RELY on whales and people who spend money. YOu cant claim a high horse over the people who literally financed the game.
Without people spending money there'd be no game.

I dont care about the money being spent, I care about the people spending it where it should be spent, which is no longer on Smite 1, if you are going to spend money it now needs to be done on Smite 2 if you dont want to be scammed for 50% of its value.

This is a scam to those that are uniformed and spend money or those that spent money recently to now be informed, I do not want anyone to be scammed or feel that way. One day you might know what it feels like to be scammed but that would require you to not have too much money to begin with so you care about what happens to it.

Nor is there any horse to be high on its simply dont get ripped people I didnt and you cant too.

smite 2 is a different game. different systems, different structure. you lose nothing, you only gain 50% off in the new game. these games exist side by side, not as the same game. there is 0 reason for them to port everything for FREE putting work and resources into giving something for FREE when their expenses building this sequel from the ground up costs them so much. you are absolutely not entitled to their labor for nothing. the 50% legacy gems sounds great, i can't say it's for sure a good thing because I haven't seen it in practice but we shall see.

[BedBathNurMom]

you know whats crazy i do not get the uproar that people are projecting here about skins not being able to be transferred when this has never been a thing in other games for decades now. is it a inconvenience yes it is but you gotta realize and they even said so themselves which is a known fact that transferring a skin from ue3 to ue5 would take up a massive amount of time and resource which no company has just for preservation sake?, lets be real skins are totally optional and you know what your getting into buying said flashes png when you purchased them from the start meaning that if the game servers shut down or dies then technically you cant get your money back and all of that goes up in thin air. i have over 3.5k hours across ps4 and pc and i cannot complain with the direction they are talking due to the fact that this game sorely needed a upgrade after being on a engine that is over 16 years old at this point. to all of the people giving the devs or others a hard time becuase of something this silly good ridance as this game needs a new community anyways due to how toxic it can be at times, this is nothing but entitlement and dont see the issue with what the company is doing, if fifa nba 2k and call of duty does it and no one complains on that front i dont know why people do it for a free to play game

Different game different skins different gods, but eventually be mostly the same made by the same people, idk if they will maintain Smite 1 and Continue Smite 2, Lets see how long Smite 1 will last and If Smite 2 doesn't just kill the whole thing by dividing the community and your money in half and everything else it will do. I mean there are probably a lot of whales that will just finance the whole fiasco regardless which is fine as long as you are aware of what your wasting your money on.

My best bet is Smite 1 carries on and peters out in a few years and shuts down due to low pop and no one playing all the game modes some servers not being used at all at times so no need to spend money maintaining them and Smite 2 doesn't really get the growth Smite 1 had due to splitting the community and their money, who knows maybe they both die or maybe the devs double in size and they work on both games equally well into the future and no one is being scammed or money being wasted and everyone is happy because they different games after all so you dont shut down one to have the other even if its a near Copy Paste of the original.

[Ninefinger]

Or maybe they give 100% of the value of your money is worth instead of 50% and stop scamming the unaware and it was never a scam to begin with it was all just a misunderstanding we would never treat you and your money that way, thanks for supporting us all these years

people need to honestly either get knowledge about how game development works and stfu or just leave community needs to be nuked of the toxic people anyways to make way for new players

Apart from models they showed us look exactly the same (ok, Bellona has some strange eyes, so 99% the same) so it's not a problem for them to make every skin possible... apart from that you are correct.

Every time a sequel gets announced there are crybabies like you with the exact same complaints...

Everytime a developer clearly sh*ts at you there are idiots like this believing it.

How is pressing copy and paste a sequel exactly ? Do you even know what a sequel is ?

I really start to understand now why companys get away with this kind of thing.


I have a better idea. Get this.
How about Hi-Rez just upgrades the current SMITE into unreal Engine 5 and we keep everything ? How about doing the job correct the first time instead of wasting money and resources on something thats clearly gonna fail ? Sure converting everything into Unreal5 is alot of work but Hi-Rez held alot of money back over the years they should have spend for better servers anyways so how about they use the money we gave them ?


Also about the being "entiteld to their labor". Without us there is no Hi-Rez so technically we are their "BOSS". We are entiteld to literally everything. Everything Hi-Rez is today "WE PAID FOR". They owe us.

[hoo]

I will pray everyday that this piece of ♥♥♥♥ company goes bankrupt

Holy cow. Is this where the Karen meme comes from?
They couldn't update Smite1 because the only way that goes over well is if they managed to port everything. This means every god and every skin. While their work years crap was obviously nonsense because they didn't just include the time to make the skin, but also rigging the base model etc. This would still require a lot of work.
They would likely have to stop updating the game for a year or two which would be a death sentence.
Due to the nature of the changes you also can't do it bit by bit, they had to reset everything to have something before 2030.

They will also attract way more new people with a fresh launch. The new player experience right now is horrendous, there are way too many gods abilities and items to learn and that is even if you completely ignore conquest.

While I can see why people want to keep their stuff and imo they way they did it is pretty bad (just release new and legacy skins slowly and let us buy legacy skins with legacy gems), your suggestion would
1) add very few new players
2) possibly outright kill the game before it can be ported
3) add an absurd amount of workload that has next to 0 payout

Also no, you are not entitled to anything. You paid money you got a product. You paid a lot of money for a useless virtual product. Do you expect every new Taco Bell shop that opens to give you a free taco because you bought one 5 years ago?

Also all of their products beside smite have been an utter failure. I doubt they have a lot of money they can use. It's much more likely that this (clearly) anti-consumer move is made out of necessity because their funds will be running dry.
Don't forget that they're gambling their whole company at this point. If smite fails it's over. Nobody sane would make this move if it wasn't absolutely necessary.
Also there was an interview they did where they said they had people check out the changes until they felt reasonably rewarded with it, meaning it was much much worse before they started tweaking things.
If that doesn't tell you that the company is in financial trouble I dunnonwhat does.

Btw if Hirez dies, Smite and all your skins die with it, just a friendly reminder.

[FrozenStar]

Not going to support these scumbags developers with their scams. I'd rather abandon my years-long collection of all items than suck their d*cks chanting how yummy it is while giving them another $60 so that they can gracefully return me 50% of MY PURCHASES

Thanks for good years, I guess. It was good while it lasted.

Yea that video was hilarious it actually means you need to purchase smite 2 gems equal to the amount of smite 1 gems if you wanna use ur legacy gems. Also she said some purchases so not everything will allow you to use old gems. 240 yrs. to remake the skins? but they did it in 10 in the current game.

Sometimes I do wonder about the sanity of people.
Divide it by the people that do the work.
It would take one person 240 years or 24 people 10 years.
Companies tend to hire more than one person.

"wääh ... sequel...my skins ... wääh"

in all honestly, do you guys cry over every new assassins creed game too cuz new skins or when the yearly sports game come out?

abunch of no lifes gaming free 2 play all year and then screaming scam because a sequel comes out.

its a game, you pay money to play it or in this case to get some shinies, everyone who thought a free 2 play game would exist forever is ignorant.

and of course they don't invest over 270 man in hours to recreate 1600 skins for everyone ... its a company with employees which need money to have a living, game has to get some money.

some ignorant dudes on the internet circle jerking because nobody respects their grinded ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is hilarious.
