SMITE Victory Lap (3.3) Patch Notes Revealed

Posted: 24 Feb 2016 02:17 PM PST

New skin and minor balance tweak patch notes have just been revealed for Hirez Studios third person pantheon driven MOBA, SMITE! While the balance changes are minor and conservative, some serious heat is coming in the patch notes: namely the Sol mastery skins and Season 2 Epsilon champion skin! Check the gallery below for some preview shots and art!

God Balance

In terms of balance changes, Amaterasu receives a decent nerf to the base damage on her Heavenly Reflection. Chiron sees more substantial nerfs as his Herbal Medicine no longer heals him for 10% each stack. On top of it, his Training Exercise no longer cripples.

Isis sees a minor tweak in her Dispel Magic getting the slow reduced to 20%. Ravana players will need to think more carefully on their feet as Prana Onslaught gets a 2 second cooldown increase, and Overhead Kick sees major cooldown increases, especially with level 1 being upped to a whopping 20 seconds.

Sol‘s Disapparate will no longer stun at the ending detonation, plus her Supernova shines brighter, giving enemy players more warning of the exact spots her light is shining down upon. Ullr sees some potentially dangerous buffs in the form of a mana reduction on bladed arrow, as well as the ability to swap stances during Expose Weakness, though its cooldown is upped to 18 seconds to compensate this massive buff.

Itemization

Breastplate of Valor and Bulwark of Hope get slight pats with the nerf bat. Breastplate now costs 200 more gold, while Bulwark’s shield is toned down and given a 20 second fade.

Imperial Helmet dropped 100 gold in price to give early game mages an option to go tanky early.

Quality of Life

New player quests arrive to more organically introduce new players into various elements of the game. Also intermediate bots have arrived, 23 in total, which Hirez Pon Pon claims are on par with silver ranked players. That’s a lofty claim! We’ll find out in PTS soon enough.

A new Eidolon, the Ghodroon, has also been added to the game. This fiery companion came from the magma chambers of Azuria, and can burn enemies with lava and ash.

Camelot Unchained Reveals Beta 1 Plans

Posted: 24 Feb 2016 01:23 PM PST

After a winter hiatus, CityState Games has returned from their thawing at Magfest to talk Beta 1 details for RvR Sandbox MMORPG, Camelot Unchained! Today’s livestream surprised many in that it wasn’t a beta delay but instead a promise of long hours at the office to hit the previously stated end of winter beta goal. With a promise of 12 hour, 5 day a week workdays, it’s clear the softcrunch has transitioned into a hardcrunch to make ends meet and get core gameplay ready for a wider test of Camelot Unchained.

Beta will be launching to test three primary elements that are the key core elements needed to be made fun and polished before adding any bells and whistles to the concept. Three combat classes per realm will be playable, namely archers, tanks, and healers. A very basic crafter class will also be present though not yet a primary element of gameplay but rather existing to test crafter systems, recipes, etc… Elements of CUBE will also be present, allowing players to build structures in real-time in the game world, physically controlled by the stability system. This means siege is in, and structures will fall realistically.

In terms of quality of life changes, we will see the first workings of camouflage (in relation to archer mechanics) starter boons/banes, stats that impact skills, and the first public tests of their improved lighting and terrain system and animations. We may even see the first test of the nightly progression system, which tallies your contribution throughout the day to factor your horizontal RPG progression to your character.

Certain elements like guilds and groups, weather, and NPC guards are borderline for beta premiers. These elements are hoped to be seen but first on the chopping block to ensure beta 1 arrives on time.

Keep an eye on the recently overhauled Camelot Unchained website for additional news in the coming weeks. It’s not too late to become a builder backer and join in the action to come.
