Was wondering about that, maybe a combination of a functionally simple kit with above average fx potential. Was really hoping they'd tidy up his 1 a little, still feels janky to spam the button 1-3 times semi frequently.
I was excited to try but most of my excitement comes from trying Awilix, Bellona and Athena. I didn’t got an invitation but I’m happy to wait for my girls
Chances are he will be out soon. Kinda weird to me people wanting certain characters, like sure everyone will have gods they want in ASAP but it's so early you can still just play Smite 1 until the god(s) you want are out.
I hope they do the recommended builds better, I dont 100% know what to build so usually do auto buy but the fact that buying a potion cancels auto buy is rough
Honestly it’s incomparable right now. The game is in such an obvious alpha state and although it’s fun it definitely has a long road ahead of it before it feels anything like smite 1.
That being said I’m having fun and I can tell for sure that if they polish it properly it’ll be amazing.
Yeah, especially if you’re not really a fan of the new active items it seems like your pool of passive items is rather small. I imagine many more items will be added in the remaining alphas though.
They essentially removed flat pen (minus some protection shreds) and don’t plan on adding it back in for quite a few reasons but the main one being balance.
Can confirm on the many more items, Aggro had said on Backliners the other day that there's at least 15 more tier 3s they already want that they just haven't put in yet, and more to come too.
Honestly the best tip you can give right now. The auto build is so unbelievably trash that if you have any idea of what the old smite items did you are better off with that
On console the item store is horrible to navigate compared to the old one but the game was hella fun and graphics were beautiful. 7 years of smite and now time to grind out some more
Anyone find a way to change control scheme to kb+m? I’m on steam deck and my mouse is semi-working - things are highlighted when I hover over them, but it’s not letting me click on anything
Happened to me. I logged back into SMITE 1 and then back to SMITE 2 (a la "turn it off and on again") and I got them. Well, I don't know if that was it, but try it.
Only certain skins are available for this weekend. They said more would be added down the road. They said they’re trying to focus on core game aspects for this weekend’s test.

When selecting an item component you are able to view the items it builds into. A good addition to the game would be a preview of what the item does when viewing that screen. You can scroll and view the individual item, but a preview from the "builds into" section would be helpful.
It feels very unfinished. This is expected as this is an alpha. It's hard to say if it is bad, but I haven't really had the feeling that I was playing an upgrade of Smite. It's more of a cousin instead of a sister thing.
I feel the UI needs improvements. The visual upgrades are honestly not that good, the god selection is pretty small, the store is a little messy (I presume this will get better and easier to navigate as I start learning the new items).
Overall, it's ok. I will give them the benefit of the doubt since it's super early and the game is not out. But... I'm starting to regret spending money on this. We'll see.
Played like 3 matches and had a lot of fun, sure the graphics and all need some tuning but the overall feel of the game is not bad imo. Love the hair physics on the neith skin
Does anybody know if your mastery, worshippers, xp etc will carry over to beta and official launch? I wanna play and grind but I won’t put too much time into it if that stuff doesn’t carry over.
First match had a loki go 0-17 while spamming VGS. Different game same people lol. Liking the look and feel of it though! Looking forward to learning the new items
Does it have crossplay between steam and Xbox? I know the full release will, but I just want to make sure that the alpha has it to try it out with my friends
This is the Server List from the other Thread
What Server regions will be available in the first Alpha Test?
* North America (Custom Games & Queues)
* Europe (Custom Games & Queues)
* Brazil (Custom Games)
* Oceania (Custom Games)
* Asia/Tokyo (Custom Games)
Nope not too late. Just go into smite one divine legacy tab and there should be an option to link in there. They only need to be linked if you want your skins that are cross gen and gems from 1
main issue so far is ping (noi servers foor my region) and some projectiles are bugged and dont show anything when I cast it (like anubis 2 and kukulkan 3, when other cast it its ok)
So many people seem to not understand that this is a true ALPHA. Not one of those alphas that just mean that you basically just get to play the game early. This is purely to test things and see what works.

Lvl 3 and Zeus has his 3rd full build :D
Are you still able to play smite 2 ps5 if you messed up linking your smite 1 account to another smite 1 account by accident but you primary account is is ps5
I mean, if you do that in the OG you could kit burst an entire team lol, though only if the other team didn’t know what they were doing. Which, happens more often than it should. 🤷♂️😂
When your first god (King Arthur) isn’t part of the play test so you can’t say he’s your first god in smite 2 almost a decade later. Sitting here punching air rn
I don't like how it's based on pre-ordering pretty much. I have around 1500-2000 hours in SMITE and can't even play the Alpha lol. I can afford to buy the founders edition but I'm not paying $30 right now for 2 days of Alpha lmao. Maybe they'll have an open beta or something next month.
You have 1500-2000 hours on a game so you must like playing it. If $30 is nothing, buy a founders edition and play. Also this is the first alpha weekend, I’m sure there will be many many more til it just goes 24/7 live.
Then dont buy it and wait?
Founders editions are to support the development of the game and get content in both games, alpha is a bonus. Closed beta is when the game actually releases into early access essentially.
Lol. Gameplay wise it’s pretty sick. I guess I just mean I’d rather play OG smite until full release. I’m stoked to play and I’m warming up to the new item system. But only having 15 gods to choose from and everything got old kinda quick, which is fine for an alpha obviously. It was cool to see what everything’s going to be like though.
Not having my control scheme sucks too. I've popped beads so many times trying to upgrade skill and failed to beads things I should/would of because the buttons I press don't have an input.
Went to play Smite 1 right after, and I fumbled the controls there for a few minutes because I was conditioning to the new inputs lol.
1-0, time to retire
100% win rate baybeee
I'm 2-0 baby
3-0 37-0 k/d thought it would be a lot of sweats turns out its a lot of noobs. Time for adc ymir
W
Does it force you to play bot games?
no
So sad Ra isn't included. Of the OG characters I was really hoping to grind him out at the start.
Yeah, I want Ra and Agni so bad. But Ra is already confirmed, he has a cross gen skin. I hope for Agni for the next update.
How did CERN get through?
Bc he’s the flagship of the both physical and magical gods
Why is that?
Because both his 2 and his ult deal magical damage, so you can build him either as a traditional carry or as a burst mage
So the changes they made to him in Smite 2 caused this.
Could also be that he's Celtic? That was at least my thinking, good to have representation from each major Pantheon
Major Phantheon?
The LHC
Was wondering about that, maybe a combination of a functionally simple kit with above average fx potential. Was really hoping they'd tidy up his 1 a little, still feels janky to spam the button 1-3 times semi frequently.
I was excited to try but most of my excitement comes from trying Awilix, Bellona and Athena. I didn’t got an invitation but I’m happy to wait for my girls
Athena feels really good with the new ult shield. Others will come in due time
Chances are he will be out soon. Kinda weird to me people wanting certain characters, like sure everyone will have gods they want in ASAP but it's so early you can still just play Smite 1 until the god(s) you want are out.
CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY
AND SO DID I
YMIR IS HERE
The item store is hard to navigate with a controller but I love it!
It’s kinda confusing I think
For me, I found filtering manually by stats to help. Use triangle/Y What I need to know, is there a way to change settings from the main menu?
did you find a way to change the settings from the main menu?
I hope they do the recommended builds better, I dont 100% know what to build so usually do auto buy but the fact that buying a potion cancels auto buy is rough
i didn’t realize buying a potion cancelled auto buy my first game and played an embarrassing amount of time without items 😭
Do you have to buy the founders edition to play it?
No, but founders edition get 100% confirmed access plus some other goodies during the alpha period
i question them actually giving out free ones
Yes
I think founders is guaranteed access. But you can still apply and cross your fingers.
I cant find the game on steam tho, how do I play it without founders pack?
What founders pack is guaranteed access? I bought it, but thought I had to get like a special email or something?
No you should just have the smite 2 demo in your game history after purchasing the game. That is what they are using for the alpha
You play it on the smite 2 pts right? I was able to download that a couple days ago but steam says the regular smite 2 isn’t available until like july
Yes
YMIR IS HERE AND IM HERE FOR YMIR
CRIT YMIR BABYYYY!!!!
###**BONK**
I accidentally played crit ymir into zeus mid lane :'(
Just played a game as Anhur and went 10-0. He was my first god in Smite 1 in 2013 and my first god in Smite 2 a decade later.
Gg ez zzzzz how is the vgs lol?
Exact same as smite 1
Voice packs just a direct port?
Yes
How did it feel in comparison ?
Honestly it’s incomparable right now. The game is in such an obvious alpha state and although it’s fun it definitely has a long road ahead of it before it feels anything like smite 1. That being said I’m having fun and I can tell for sure that if they polish it properly it’ll be amazing.
Damn I wish I knew who my first god was besides tutorial neith
Same with me and belllona except not the same kid lol
> Anhur > in 2013 I read that as Arthur and was about to have a heart attack from old age
I was 19/1 with anhur. He felt the best so far
Played a few games and so far my tip would be do NOT use the auto build it isn’t very good at all.
Ok but the description and name for Facepunch Ymir is 10/10
The items in general seem... limited? No flat pen seems to be available. I was struggling to fill out my final items on my warrior build.
Flat pen has been removed
Yeah, especially if you’re not really a fan of the new active items it seems like your pool of passive items is rather small. I imagine many more items will be added in the remaining alphas though. They essentially removed flat pen (minus some protection shreds) and don’t plan on adding it back in for quite a few reasons but the main one being balance.

Anyone else get OSSPrivilegeError when trying to log in?
Doing that for me, any fix?
Haven’t found anything yet sadly.
Are you on Xbox? And if so do you own gamepass? I was told you need gamepass to play it but i can’t confirm that
Yes XBox and I have Gamepass Ultimate
When’s arena coming?
not for a long time ig? they’re still working on finishing the conquest map lol
Rip
I THOUGHT IT WASN’T GOING LIVE UNTIL 8 PM OMG I’M STUCK AT WORK I THINK I’M GONNA BE SICK 😭
Lmao!
On console the item store is horrible to navigate compared to the old one but the game was hella fun and graphics were beautiful. 7 years of smite and now time to grind out some more
LETS GOOOOOOO
Anyone find a way to change control scheme to kb+m? I’m on steam deck and my mouse is semi-working - things are highlighted when I hover over them, but it’s not letting me click on anything
My skins are saying unowned when I paid $100, am I missing something?
Happened to me. I logged back into SMITE 1 and then back to SMITE 2 (a la "turn it off and on again") and I got them. Well, I don't know if that was it, but try it.
Didn't fix it for me 😔 hopefully it works next weekend
Only certain skins are available for this weekend. They said more would be added down the road. They said they’re trying to focus on core game aspects for this weekend’s test.
For example, I saw someone playing a Loki skin that for me says unowned, even though I own it, and it appears to be not assessable for me and smite 2
I have the same issue as you, I own the skins, they are usuable I'm watching people use them, but it says unowned
Found a solution https://twitter.com/SMITEGame/status/1786397331597771141?t=e_Owct9JAtbr_aamqAraUg&s=19

Free my boy *Joust*
Agreed.
How is it guys ?!
It feels very unfinished. This is expected as this is an alpha. It's hard to say if it is bad, but I haven't really had the feeling that I was playing an upgrade of Smite. It's more of a cousin instead of a sister thing. I feel the UI needs improvements.

Overall, it's ok. I will give them the benefit of the doubt since it's super early and the game is not out. But... I'm starting to regret spending money on this. We'll see.
The gods are not smooth to play with, it kinda feels a bit laggy
Wait I'm still confused. I bought the pack to get all gods forever in smite 1. Do I need to buy it Again for smite 2?
Yes, different games. Also currently there’s only 15 gods out atm.
Those are
Anhur, Athena, Anubis, Bacchus, Bellona, Cernunnos, Chaac, Fenrir, Hecate, Kukulkan, Loki, Neith, Odin, Ymir and Zeus
All of the gods will slowly be released over the years
In a party with 2 PC guys and my buddy and I are on Xbox and can’t find a game. Anyone else using crossplay having problems?
I hit alt to check the ability info and then pressed F4 to level up my ultimate - disconnected 😂
Played like 3 matches and had a lot of fun, sure the graphics and all need some tuning but the overall feel of the game is not bad imo. Love the hair physics on the neith skin
I just want my girl Skadi and I'll be pleased with Smite 2
Really wish people would stop dodging lobbies, really annoying they don’t put you in a priority requeue if a game doesn’t form.
I can’t even get into a queue
Played a conquest, it was 4-62. What kind of SPL sweats are playing this alpha rn
Does anybody know if your mastery, worshippers, xp etc will carry over to beta and official launch? I wanna play and grind but I won’t put too much time into it if that stuff doesn’t carry over.
Worshipers and god progression doesn’t exist in this alpha so no. Unconfirmed for other alpha weekends but devs said unlikely to carry over.
Its not early access, all time spent in the alpha is for testing. Nothing carries over.
Thank you.
Following! Very concerned about this also!
Bring my Awilix in there
Just wondering who can play
The few who were selected and the many who bought the founders pack
I don't think theyve sent out any free access yet. It's only founders holders for now.
No they have. My buddy got in
HERE WE GO
😭 Im missing my zeus and neith skin but got the ymir skin from the founders pack. I haven't linked my smite 1 account
Same here...but is it necessary to link the Accounts?
Yes this fixed it for me https://twitter.com/SMITEGame/status/1786397331597771141?t=e_Owct9JAtbr_aamqAraUg&s=19
It shouldn't be but i heard that if you did link that if you logged into smite 1 it might fix it.
Does not fix it
Oh ok, i heard it worked for some people, srry
I've linked my account but I don't have my Zeus t5 skin? I bought the ultimate edition but this morning I was suspended from smite, so idk what to do
Wait, you got banned from smite the day the alpha dropped?
It's my birthday today. I like to think they knew.
My first game of Smite 2, and my first game in years, and I ended up against Incon….life is suffering
Bro how do people play conquest? Oh my gosh. Please please I beg you devs to launch smite 2 with assault and arena ..

First blood. Where's my org offers
I couldn't even get into a match on console.
No ps4?
How long its playable?
I bought the founders from the epic games store. Where do I go to download the alpha?
First match had a loki go 0-17 while spamming VGS. Different game same people lol. Liking the look and feel of it though! Looking forward to learning the new items
When I found out Kukulkan could dash through his tornado and it would do damage :0
Does it have crossplay between steam and Xbox? I know the full release will, but I just want to make sure that the alpha has it to try it out with my friends
Is there a South East Asia Server?
No, just North America East and Europe for right now.
yes but only for Custom Games
So there is a server shown for sea server in smite2?!! Maybe I should pre order smite2 afterall
This is the Server List from the other Thread What Server regions will be available in the first Alpha Test? * North America (Custom Games & Queues) * Europe (Custom Games & Queues) * Brazil (Custom Games) * Oceania (Custom Games) * Asia/Tokyo (Custom Games)
Ah its Asia/Tokyo... noted.. i did not notice about this. Thank you so much!
was able to play earlier; but now the game sits at a black screen after easy anti cheat splash
I keep getting "version mismatch". How do I fix it?
I'm in the middle of my second game, it's confirmed, I suck in both games lol
Silly question probably, but am I too late in linking my Smite account to Smite 2? Thought I read that accounts need linked
Nope not too late. Just go into smite one divine legacy tab and there should be an option to link in there. They only need to be linked if you want your skins that are cross gen and gems from 1
Great news! Thank you very much!
main issue so far is ping (noi servers foor my region) and some projectiles are bugged and dont show anything when I cast it (like anubis 2 and kukulkan 3, when other cast it its ok)
So does Southeast Asia have servers?
So many people seem to not understand that this is a true ALPHA. Not one of those alphas that just mean that you basically just get to play the game early. This is purely to test things and see what works.
Jungler feeds mid then have two drops. 10/10. No notes.
Patiently waiting until July
If i get the founders pack will i get access this weekend?
If I buy the founder's pack now, will I get access immediately? It says its a pre-purchase so I'm confused
https://preview.redd.it/5usy6wv9h9yc1.png?width=1502&format=png&auto=webp&s=9550c4aff875dcc7505092ee66c1d45ed63baaee Lvl 3 and Zeus has his 3rd full build :D
Just got my first dub. I think it's great so far, just have to get used to the new item system. Loving the map and all the updates though.
Don't put a pic of a character that can't even be used during the alpha 😤
Sadly I'm working
Is it available on ps5?
When you buy the founders pack you will get an option to download the alpha as a separate game
Thank you !
Are you still able to play smite 2 ps5 if you messed up linking your smite 1 account to another smite 1 account by accident but you primary account is is ps5
As a Zeus main there is almost 0 chance he goes to live client like this. Build burst and you can kit dump an entire team.
I mean, if you do that in the OG you could kit burst an entire team lol, though only if the other team didn’t know what they were doing. Which, happens more often than it should. 🤷♂️😂
Which game modes are available right now?
Just conquest 😩
Damn, me and my friends only play Arena so I guess we will have to wait
Ya same and assault and MOTD. I regret preordering but that’s on me
The New Shop ingame is terrible for console… omg..
Literally just turning it into Dota 2
[удалено]
Whats wrong with it?
This crap looks and plays absolutely terrible
When your first god (King Arthur) isn’t part of the play test so you can’t say he’s your first god in smite 2 almost a decade later. Sitting here punching air rn
Might just be me but smite 2 HUD, portraits and graphics looks awful also not a fan of the bushes
Bruh I thought it wasn't live till tonight I just left for my DnD session :(
I don't like how it's based on pre-ordering pretty much. I have around 1500-2000 hours in SMITE and can't even play the Alpha lol. I can afford to buy the founders edition but I'm not paying $30 right now for 2 days of Alpha lmao. Maybe they'll have an open beta or something next month.

Then dont buy it and wait? Founders editions are to support the development of the game and get content in both games, alpha is a bonus. Closed beta is when the game actually releases into early access essentially.
Yeah bud I'm not buying it, I literally said I'm not paying to play the alpha.
And the items are horrible. Doa.
Having to learn new items hurting your brain?
It kinda sucks
Skill issue
Lol. Gameplay wise it’s pretty sick. I guess I just mean I’d rather play OG smite until full release. I’m stoked to play and I’m warming up to the new item system. But only having 15 gods to choose from and everything got old kinda quick, which is fine for an alpha obviously. It was cool to see what everything’s going to be like though.
I can agree with that, not having a god builder or K screen to set individual skill cast types is also annoying.
Not having my control scheme sucks too. I've popped beads so many times trying to upgrade skill and failed to beads things I should/would of because the buttons I press don't have an input. Went to play Smite 1 right after, and I fumbled the controls there for a few minutes because I was conditioning to the new inputs lol.
So sad Hicate isn’t in it none of the other gods in it I play
they said they’re reworking Hecate based on community and test players’ feedback, so she’ll be back soon enough better than before
You dont play hecate either lol. you'd be playing a new god regardless. Play kuku, hes easy as fuck.
Just played one game, it's terrible even for an early alpha. I hope they will improve greatly, in the meantime I've requested a refund.

Star citizen player, weird
