Smite patch notes for December 3rd. New game mode Domination, along with many other game feature changes and additions.
New Gamemode: Domination
- Several Obelisks of Power have appeared in Egypt. Control them to gain victory.
- Average game time is around 20 minutes.
- Match Objectives:
- There are three control points.
- Each team starts with 400 tickets.
- Enemy tickets are reduced when your side controls two of the three points, as well as for each enemy kill.
- Reduce the enemy team to zero tickets to win the match.
- Other Info:
- You start at level three with 1500 gold.
- Neutral camps provide buffs but do not deduct tickets.
- Your team respawns together in waves.
- You will earn normal match rewards. Note that Domination has its own first win of the day bonus.
- In addition to the five permanently free gods (Ra, Kali, Ymir, Sun WuKong, and Artemis), there will now be an additional five free gods at any point in time. The free additional gods will rotate over time. (You will still need to purchase a god in order to ensure permanent access).
- When you first enter the match lobby in either Conquest Normal or Conquest Ranked gamemodes, the top-ranked player on each side now has the opportunity to ban a god from play. When a god is banned, it is banned for both sides. All gods are bannable (Note that we had previously communicated that free gods would not be bannable, but reversed that decision after adding the additional free rotating gods).
- If enough people are in queue we respect your preferred region when match making. You choose your preferred region on the PLAY screen.
- In the Settings menu, you can now choose between 3 different ability casting options:
- Normal Casting Mode: A targeting decal is placed on the ground when you hit the ability button, and then the ability is fired when you left mouse click.
- Quick Casting Mode: A targeting decal is placed on the ground when you push down the ability button, and the ability is fired when you release the ability button.
- Instant Casting Mode: The ability is fired as soon as you press the ability button, with no targeting decal.
- The time spent in a “matching state” on timed queues is now drastically reduced, so that you should be sent into the match lobby much faster.
- Auto-purchase settings will now be stored server-side at a player level. This should prevent users have these settings reset after each patch (Note: Settings will be reset upon this patch, but should not be reset during the next patch).
- If you receive a party invite while alt-tabbed out of the game, you will now receive an out-of-match notification, similar to the notification you receive when you are alt-tabbed out of the game and receive a match invite.
- All Towers have the same health now (excluding Phoenixes). Previously, the first tower had less health than the second.
- In Conquest mode, gold now spools at 4 per second (previously 2 per second).
- Ranked matches now kick off every 30 minutes instead of every hour.
- The Settings menu has undergone a UI overhaul. There are now tabs for different settings areas.
- The Play button on the top-bar menu is now better highlighted.
- A variety of UI cleanups have been made to the PLAY screen. This includes:
- Users may also now select their preferred server region.
- Your last selected tab is persisted across logins (so you will return to the PvP tab if that was your last selected tab the last time you played).
- The buttons now read “Join” and “Leave” instead of “Join Queue” and “Leave Queue”.
- Once you join a queue, you are restricted from clicking on other queues until you leave the queue.
- Several other cleanups.
- The sizing and positioning of the in-game web browser has been modified.
