God Remodel
    Bakasura has received a major visual makeover!
    Death Machine and Feaster Bunny skins are unaffected by this change.

Treasure Chests


Odyssey Treasure Chest
    The pre-existing treasure chest has been renamed the “Odyssey” treasure chest. This treasure chest will expire on the same day that the Odyssey ends.
    Players will continue to receive a free Odyssey Treasure Chest with each Odyssey item that they purchase.



Halloween Seasonal Treasure Chest
    To celebrate Halloween there is a new treasure chest with 7 exclusive halloween items and one discounted skin!

    We’ve made a pass to improve our terminology around apparel, and be more consistent:
    Exclusive Items: These items will never be available for direct purchase, but are awarded as part of special events, promotions, or are available in seasonal treasure chests. Seasonal content usually returns annually.
    Limited Items: These items are only available for a limited time, after which they will never again be offered in the game.
    NOTE: The designations for some content may vary in regions outside of North America, Europe and Oceania.



New God Skins

    Demon Catcher Zhong Kui
    The Re-Animated Osiris
    Frankenhotep Osiris
    The Sydney Shredder He Bo
    The Sydney Shredder is for future promotional purchases, and will not be immediately available.


New Voice Packs
    Ultra-Kill Announcer Packs have been added to the game as part of the Odyssey event! These replace your generic Kill Streak and Multi Kill announcement with those from some of your favorite e-sports casters and can be earned for purchasing 9 Odyssey items.
    DryBear Ultra-Kill Announcer pack
    HirezBart Ultra-Kill Announcer Pack
    DM Ultra-Kill Announcer Pack

    Demon Catcher Zhong Kui
    Bakasura
    The Re-Animated + Frankenhotep Osiris
    The Sydney Shredder He Bo
    Anubis Stargazer


New Ward Skins and Player Icons
    Brain in a Jar Ward Skin
    Jack O Lantern Animated Icon
    Cemetery Awaits Animated Icon
    Retro Bakasura Icon
    Bakasura Icon


Updated Cards
    Bakasura
    Butcher Bakasura
    Destroyer Ares
    Golden Bakasura



Misc
    Spectator now allows for re-ordering of players in the bottom bar by clicking/dragging the rows.
    Fixed a mouseover issue with God Mastery tooltip showing incorrect god.
    Fixed an issue with popular items not showing in Character Builder.
    Fixed an issue with Ultimate timers not showing correctly on the team hud.
    The HiRezTroll Icon is no longer in a bundle and now costs a flat 64 gems.
    Fixed an issue that caused incorrect rendering of textures on certain AMD video cards (e.g. square buff timers).
    Notifications Panel enhancements:
    Panel is now wider, for increased legibility.
    Added categories for different types of notifies.
    Improved overall visuals for buttons and party invites.

    Fixed an issue that could prevent individual sales of an item if it was in a bundle.
    Improved the visual treatment of quest notifies in tutorials.
    Improved various aspects of the landing page visual treatment, and added support for special content.
    Improved the visual presentation on ability tooltips: Typography, font color, font styles and spacing.
    Added improved support for selecting random ward skins in maps.
    Fixed god bans not showing in game in the spectator client.
    Fixed picking and banning phases not represented properly during Draft Pick Lobbies.
    Updated Venezuela flag icon to correctly have 8 stars instead of 7.
    Fixed Neith bot being perma crouched in her Ult for Conquest Co-op. Silly Neith.
    Improved text descriptions on League queues.


Gods - Balance/Updates/Fixes

Apollo
    “We wanted to maintain the “escape artist” style that Apollo has while reducing his crowd control to be more in line with other Hunters. We like Apollo’s utility in boxing situations with the protections from Serenade but he will now have to accommodate or itemize for magical burst. Overall this does not fundamentally shift how Apollo is played, but will help to put him a bit more in check.”
    Serenade
    This ability no longer provides magical protection, only physical protection.

    The Moves
    Reduced Knockback impulse from 300 to 175, resulting in a much shorter duration.


Arachne
    Web
    Fixed an issue that was limiting the number of spiders she could have out to 2 at a time, even if both webs were broken.

Athena
    General
    Fixed her soldiers not disappearing after her death. Thier watch has ended.


Bakasura
    Passive
    New passive meter added.
    Eat Minion
    Fixed his inability to eat Nu Wa Clay Soldiers at ranks 2-5. Yum!

Cabrakan
    Tremors
    Fixed his animations continuing after canceling Tremors while the Seismic crush buff was still active.
    Fixed the ability cancelling when using basic attacks.

Fenrir
    General
    Fixed issue with incorrect buff icons being used.

Freya
    “With this ability it was too easy for Freya to confirm damage and secure kills at range. The AoE “bombs” of Valkyrie’s Discretion allow Freya to guarantee damage on targets that are kiting through minions or players as well as extending her range to find kills under towers. The goal of this adjustment is to add a bit more skill to Freya’s flight, while making it more escapable for long distance targets.”
    Valkyrie's Discretion
    Reduced radius from 15ft to 12ft.
    Reduced range from 65ft to 55ft.


Kali
    Passive
    Fixed an issue where she would get an assist if an enemy god died within 5s of gaining mark.

Odin
    General
    Updated tags and tooltips to correct various errors.

Rama
    “Rama’s Astral Barrage deals a large amount of damage semi-globally and highly rewards skill and aim with escalating damage as the targeter gets smaller. His damage output and range from the duo lane made tasks like burning enemy tanks at the Gold Fury a bit too effective. His damage has been downward adjusted to be more appropriate.”
    General
    Fixed Diamond card using default image background

    Astral Barrage
    Reduced base damage from 250/350/450/550/650 to 200/300/400/500/600.
    Reduced physical power scaling from 80% to 60%.

    Rolling Assault
    Fixed a condition where an Astral Arrow gained while using this ability would not deal bonus damage or cripple when consumed.


Sobek
    Passive
    Fixed an issue with his passive activating when using Health and Mana potions.

Sylvanus
    “Sylvanus has had a very strong launch, and with this patch we’re making some pretty significant adjustments to bring him into a better state. Wisps has had its cooldown increased to reduce effective “up-time” of the HoT and protection buff as well as the efficacy of the heal reduced. Verdant growth was allowing for Nature’s Grasp to be a bit too easy to land, and contributing to an exceptionally long CC chain. A reduced root time is expected to reduce Nature’s Grasp hit rate and allow for more counterplay in lane.”
    General
    Fixed tree roots showing underneath the pedestal in the match looby.

    Basic Attack
    Improved targeting in relation to hitting Towers.

    Verdant Growth
    Root duration reduced from 2s to 1.25s.
    Improved tooltip description.

    Wisps
    Healing reduced from 25/35/45/55/65 to 25/30/35/40/45 per tick.
    Cooldown changed from 18/17/16/15/14 to 18s at all ranks.
    Fixed an issue where if stunned right after casting wisps, Sylvanus would still receive the healing himself, but the ability didn’t go on cooldown.

Zhong Kui
    General
    Fixed an issue where his basic attack projectile was invisible.

Awesome. Halloween skins are finally back and they're all in 400 gem exclusive chests that also include over-priced icons.

Just what I always wanted when I kept saying "I'm definitely going to buy that Reaper Thanatos skin when Halloween comes back around, since I wasn't able to get it last year."

Thanks HiRez, you sure knew how to crush my sense of excitement for the season in Smite.

What else is there really to say about this patch? I already gave my opinion on the Bakasura rework in the other thread. Only thing else in this patch is the Halloween skins, and the fact that we can't just outright buy them; we have to gamble 400 gems to possibly get a limited skin for the season that we want, while running the risk of getting some icons and/or a ward skin instead.

GG HiRez, another mind baffling decision that actually even surprises me a bit, though not very much anymore.

I'm hoping two things: That the new Zhong skin is good, and that it's not chest exclusive. It does say that only one of the skins are chest exclusive. (Not like it matters since I won't be able to afford it and I'm not good enough with Zhong to be able to justify buying a skin for him anyway)

Actually, based on this picture, it's the other way around. Only one skin in the chests is not chest exclusive (the Slaughterhouse Chaac skin).

Didn't include default Baka since he's on the other thread and would make an uneven number ;)

Anyways the artwork on these cards have been so amazing recently.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
