Netherbeast Event

The Netherbeast event is a pretty simple one. It is a chest comprised of 25 items priced at 400 gems each roll. It contains TWO new skins (Shadow Sentry Cerberus and Headhunter Cernunnos), two bundles and the rest are previously released skins. Unlocking THREE of the FOUR NEW Netherbeast items in the chest rewards you with the Death’s Rain Chaac skin. There’s also a BUY ALL option for the event that costs a certain amount of gems depending on how many items you already own from the chest.

The Death’s Rain Chaac skin can be obtained after purchasing three of the four Netherbeast event items. This only applies if the items you roll in the chest are newly released (cosmetic bundles or the Cernunnos/Cerberus skins).

Smite 2 Renders

Below are the renders of the Smite and Smite 2 Cross-gen skins. This is how they’ll look in Smite 2.

Domination

• Domination is making a return to SMITE!
• Domination has received a scoring rework and numerous changes to make the mode better than ever!

We wanted to make the scoring and capturing processes more intuitive, so our first step was to adjust these systems to reward capturing points versus pushing minions.

• Scoring Revamp
  • Old
    • Tickets were subtracted from the enemy team when minions made it to their goals on the other side of the map
    • This method of scoring was unintuitive for many players and did not justly reward teams that held many capture points
  • New
    • Each capture point held subtracts 1 ticket from the enemy team every 3 seconds
    • Holding all 3 capture points now gives Total Domination to the team holding them, and subtracts 4 points each scoring interval from the enemy team
    • Kills subtract 2 tickets from the enemy team
      • Shutdowns subtract 5 instead
    • Minions now give 3 Global Gold and 1 XP per minion for entering their goals
• Capture Point Revamp
  • Capture points are neutralized once a Sand Guardian is defeated, so players need to stick around to capture it after you clear a Sand Guardian
  • Standing on the capture point will follow the same rules as the Stygian Beacon capture point, i.e. the number of players standing on the point affects the rate it is captured
  • Once the capture point is taken, a Sand Guardian allied to the captors spawns
• Speed Orbs
  • We wanted players to be able to get to the action more quickly, so we added new pickups across the map: Speed Orbs
  • These pickups give additional Movement Speed for 5 seconds
• Collision Pass
  • All of the collision on the map has received a tune up and should much more closely align to the visuals
• Balance Changes
  • Gold Spooling has is now 7 per second
  • Sand Guardians received a balance pass to make them more durable as the match wears on, scaling up every minute from start, up to 15 minutes for max scaling
  • Now uses Wave Spawning (like Arena)
