The Shining Light Patch Notes – 2.21

AMATERASU, THE SHINING LIGHT

Lore

As the first rays of dawn cross the horizon, before all else they touch the land of the rising sun. A realm of islands painted with the careful brush strokes of its deities. That morning light, which brings warmth and life is Amaterasu, the benevolent Goddess of the sun. Universally, she is adored.

Less so are her brothers, namely Susano-o, bringer of storms, whose jealousy of his sister’s popularity drove him burn her golden rice fields and shatter the sacred looms of her people. Grief stricken at the destruction, Amaterasu sealed herself inside a deep cavern. Her people suffered and the realm fell into crushing darkness.

Seeing all those that depended on her, all those that loved her, Amaterasu vowed never again to hide away from calamity. She would, instead, face it, just as the dawn rises each new day.

Removed the ‘T’ screen.
At this time we are removing the ‘T’ Screen from SMITE, for both design and technical reasons. As a whole, we felt it offered a gameplay advantage that was not particularly engaging (IE: Staring at graphs to find the timer for Gold Fury) and as such it is being removed.
