Known Issues & Fixes

Feedback & Community Q&A
- Tank Viability – Early high-level feedback suggests tanks feel better but still needs more data. Share your thoughts!
- Matchmaking – Backend improvements have rolled out; more data will be shared in upcoming shows.
- Assault Re-Roll Pool – The new system is in place; let the devs know how it feels.
Gameplay & Mechanics
- Thor’s Ultimate Warning – Displays earlier to allow more counterplay in SMITE 2’s faster environment.
- Anti-Proxy Tech – Rumored to be in this patch. The devs will confirm specifics soon.
- Mount Tech – With A Wheelish shipping next week, future “mounted” gods can come to SMITE 2 more efficiently.
Coming Soon
- Bari Preview – The next brand-new goddess will be showcased soon, with a flash test starting next week.
- Music Packs (OB5) – Aiming to launch an in-game music pack system for more customization.

Monetization & Cosmetics
- Wandering Market – High adoption rate so far, and new limited-time chests are available.
- Future Cosmetics – Expect more mastery skins, possible recolors, and eventually expanded systems like recall skins or more ability color changes.
Art & Map Notes
- Brighter vs. Darker Maps – Dark maps look cool in screenshots but often reduce visibility. Devs generally favor clearer, brighter environments.

Q&A Highlights
- Bug Reports – Send feedback if you see store issues, scoreboard quirks, or broken item interactions (like Meditation in Assault or Tab screen malfunctions).
- Role System Bugs – Some users are experiencing all “Fill” roles in ranked; team is investigating.
- Hardest God to Port? – King Arthur is trickiest due to unique root-motion autos and stance mechanics.
- Esports Plans – No formal pro league yet, but devs are exploring competitive events with prizing.
