The favour system, is confusing.

I agree, but there must be a formula for it somewhere!!! Everything comes down to absolutes, no exceptions!

Its really funny to read that cant.
If you want to get the skins fast, then go out, work, earn money and buy the skins.

Could you please explain how the favour system works and how much you get? What is the formula for the favour you earn?

Sure, I can explain it as far as I see it. Favour is granted based on amount of time spent in-game, and is also based on your k/d/a in said game. The winning team gets slightly more Favour for the win.

If you have 100% goodwill, the favour earned per game is raised by a percentage (I don't recall what that percentage is off hand, I'm on my phone).

So, if he constantly plays games which are over 2 hours long as he's said, there should be no reason he hasn't unlocked most of the recoloured skins, unless he started playing a week ago.

I'm not pro by any stretch, I have more losses than wins because I really only play solo... Yet I amass favour quite quickly, and a player who wins more consistently, and plays even slightly more often than me should be able to earn crazy amounts.

Hope that was helpful!

jephers0n - Thanks for that, that was my basic understanding of the favour system too but was wondering if anyone actually knew the levels of favour returned! I think that would be really useful to know and would provide useful information.

Like this
10-20 mins = X favour
20-30 mins = 1.1X favour
30-60 mins = 1.3X favour

This is then added to kills
1 kill = Y favour
1 death = -0.2Y favour
1 assist = 0.1Y favour

There would then be minimum favour levels for each match and maximums etc.
Something like that would be awesome to understand.

Like in LOL if you play a bot game and finish before 24 minutes you get less that you would if you went over it, things like that!

Just a quick question, is there any plan for Smite to bring out a runes type system or any other favour based purchases?
Just want to know before I buy any other skins and things!

I believe the devs have said there will be no rune system in smite, because they feel the match should be on equal grounds at the start, with items bought in game to 'power up' the gods. I fully support that idea, since it balances it all out much better. In LoL, a level 15 summoner would have absolutely no chance in a game against a level 30 summoner, skills be damned. The runes just give too much power.

In smite, the only difference between a 15 and 30 account is the actual skill difference between the players. If the level 15 player has sufficient skill, he could still devastate his opponent. I support the no runes or masteries policy, personally.

Edit to add: it seems they will be adding a bunch of cosmetic things (ie. skins, rank based skin rewards) for favour, and I assume the potential for some other things, in-game. maybe choice of map for conquest, that'd be a cool idea. A chance to vote, at the beginning of the match, as to whether the game is played on the current or old conquest map, with the side jungles. Maybe deployable map items, for added strategy. That'd be cool too!

I hope against runes, but I can see hi-rez doing some more cool, creative stuff. We'll just have to wait and see!

This is fantastic. The rune system is poorly designed. The runes should not be based around you having to buy them and instead should be free if they do implement a system.

To give a simple introduction, they are virtual tablets that are placed on things called rune pages. They provide free bonus stats without the need to buy items. They are grouped into 4 groups, marks, glyphs, seals and quintessences. You can have 9 of each marks, glyph and seals and only 3 quintessences, but the stats given by quintessences are far greater than the others.

The main problem with the rune system however, is that they are bought with LoL's equivalent of favour, known as IP. Marks, seals and glyphs cost approximately 410 IP, with some, such as health runes costing 820 IP each. Quintessences cost about 2050 IP each. Mind you, the average amount of IP earned per game is about 75.

I think you all are missing out on a small detail, it is a skin. They are not meant to be bought every 100 game or so, and nobody is forcing you to play more than the time you can afford to spend each day. See it as a free skin for a couple of months fun time and not a goal you have to reach within 1 month for what ever the reason might be. That is not the purpose of those skins. Be happy that you are even capable of purchasing any skins at all compared to any other MOBA games.
