They need to focus on other less populated pantheons, as much as I like egyptian, others should be expanded better.
All moba games sucks ass because the community in the game is bullshit.
[QUOTE=RocketRacer;44731754]They need to focus on other less populated pantheons, as much as I like egyptian, others should be expanded better.[/QUOTE] Good idea, but then you'd have to worry about people getting offended. OLD TESTAMENT AND NEW TESTAMENT GODS! FIGHT!
[QUOTE=RocketRacer;44731754]They need to focus on other less populated pantheons, as much as I like egyptian, others should be expanded better.[/QUOTE] Do they have any of the loa from the Haitian Voodoo pantheon? I'd be surprised if Baron Samedi wasn't at least planned for.
[QUOTE=darkedone02;44731989]All moba games sucks ass because the community in the game is bullshit.[/QUOTE] I agree, this is why I only stack with friends. I can't even stand playing dota 2 any more. I only play smite because I can do 3 stacks.
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;44732940]I still hate HiRez for abandoning Tribes.[/QUOTE] So do I, but smite being good is a pretty big bandaid. [QUOTE=darkedone02;44731989]All moba games sucks ass because the community in the game is bullshit.[/QUOTE] This game has the best community I've seen in an ASSFAGGOTS.
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;44732940]I still hate HiRez for abandoning Tribes.[/QUOTE] I still hate HiRez for abandoning Global Agenda, when they started working on Tribes. I still hate Hirez for abandoning Tribes, when they started working on Smite. HiRez does that though, it's fucking bullshit. As soon as they start working on a new game "oh no we'll keep releasing content for our old games!" Never fucking happens, and go years without any updates for their older games.
[QUOTE=The golden;44733824]Not really because they're two completely different types of games. Smite isn't a replacement to Ascend.[/QUOTE] I mean in the way that they didn't wreck smite.
[QUOTE=Crimor;44734010]I mean in the way that they didn't wreck smite.[/QUOTE] Yeah, because they partnered with Tencent which is the company responsible for making League of Legends big in China (arguably big in general). They're in the money now with Smite and have no reason to care about anything else.

Let me quote myself from a month ago: [QUOTE=Malvodion;44351581]That's not what happend, and you know it. [url]http://dd.reddit.com/r/Smite/comments/1m7ybi/what_will_hirez_do_with_smite/[/url] Resume of tribes: (Apart from the general fuck ups) They couldn't please the entire player base, losing people with every update, so they ended up lowering the quality of their updates until they abandoned the game because they were losing way too much money on it. They never made a profit in the first place. (Only an idiot would keep throwing millons at something that will never give any profit..) Smite was doing well by itself even before release, and it's only going to get better after it. Along with that, they made a partnership with Tecent Games to bring Smite to china ([url]http://sm.qq.com/[/url]) so they can't drop the game even if they wanted to. You like it or not, the game won't be dying any time soon.[/QUOTE] [quote=Malvodion]They didn't drop Tribes because they won enough money from it nor they dropped it because they started working on Smite: They dropped it because the game never earned the fortune (T:A and GA costed 40 millon to make, the only got 10 millon from them) they invested in it in the first place, and if they keept going they would have only lost more (that includes modifiying the game to be in a state the communty could maintain by itself. This would have only made the game's losses even bigger for the company.). I'm not defending Hi-Rez (Their mistakes and the way they managed the game are what made Tribes unprofitable in the first place), I'm saying that what they did was understandable because no sane person would have keept going in such situation, and that Smite had literally nothing to do with Tribes' downfall.[/quote] [quote=Malvodion]That what you described was them pretty much panicking and trying to save as much of their money as they could possibly do (You forgot one important thing: The GOTY edition. That was the most desperate move they made for that.) before the game sank, by keeping the community distracted and/or interested. Again, not trying defend them for what they did, but just saying that what they did was not some wicked plot or them not trully caring for the game (some people like to make it look like that) or anything, just a long list of pretty bad choices that forced them into desperate (and poorly executed) measures.[/quote] [quote=Malvodion]People doesnt' just bash Hi-Rez, but also Smite, saying it's reason why Tribes died, when we both know that's not how it went (the game was never profitable from the start, it died on it's own). They do this to find some consolation in stupid and pointless hatred.[/quote] Can we stop saying "X game died because of Y game" or that "They abandoned the game for no reason at all/they are an evil corporation who rejoices in your tears"? Making up a story in your head to fuel your hatred for them is stupid beyond measure. Aaaand you probably will intentionally ignore this because you can't bring yourself to think rationally and change your mind (and don't you even dare to say i'm acting like a fanboy or anything similar because that'd only prove my point. or that you didn't bother to read half of my quotes.). [QUOTE=Itszutak;44734211]OH COME ON HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE FUCKING BIRD HEAD IT'S JUST SOME ASSHOLE IN A HEADDRESS[/QUOTE] Osiris isn't the one with a bird head though.

Osiris isn't the one with a bird head though.[/QUOTE] I'd like to clarify, there have been no stories made up, the game did infact go without update for over a year. Also, GA did die because of Tribes, primarily because GA wasn't raking in the profits they wanted, and Tribes may have been the turning point on that. (Which worked out very well). I'm not super informed about Tribes, however, Global Agenda is a shining example of how to royally fuck up a game. The problem is theirs and theirs alone, how could you invest 40 million and get a game like Global Agenda? It was a pvp on a bunch of maps for god's sake, there was not any astronomical amount of work put into it. And then they released the game pretty much incomplete (buggy as all shit, unbalanced), the bottom line is they're an incompetent company unable to handle money, when compared to other companies. And to top it off, after making the game "Free to play", they threw any ideas of balance out the window, shoved on "Boosters" on top of the "Premium" account status (Which cost as much as the game originally did), then proceeded to fuck the game in the ass by adding a p2w cash shop system, then leave the game without updates for over a year. Boo fucking hoo, they mismanaged the money themselves, it's their fault for fucking the games up, the blame from gamers is justly directed at them.

I prove you that they didn't drop the game for no good reasons and that it wasn't Smite's fault that Tribes ended up being a dissaster and you instantly switch to bashing the company because of the facts I mentioned (what is even the point of doing this?). You are trying to constantly have a motive to hate them. You are exactly the kind of people I mentioned before, in my quotes. This ain't very healty. Edit: Dumbing posts doesn't magically make them any less true (what I said were facts, not opinions, so dumbing them means you can't cope with them. And if you didn't care then why are you in this thread in the first place?) nor makes them banish so that you can keep that flawed "logic" of yours intact (that's called lying to yourself), you know?

[QUOTE=darkedone02;44731989]All moba games sucks ass because the community in the game is bullshit.[/QUOTE] the community in any competitive game is shit and you should queue with friends, mobas don't really have anything to do with it
[QUOTE=darkedone02;44731989]All moba games sucks ass because the community in the game is bullshit.[/QUOTE] By this logic probably every single multiplayer game genre sucks.
Smite is a pretty good game
