Our beloved game Smite is moving to its next big chapter, as developers have announced Smite 2. But, a recently surfaced issue seems to be causing quite a stir: will players lose their limited Tier 5 skins when the transition happens?
Summary
- Players are worried about the fate of their limited Tier 5 skins.
- Developers have raised the possibility of legacy badges as placeholders.
- Community suggests the skins, valuable in-game commodities, won’t transfer to Smite 2.
- The transition would effectively require rebuilding the skins from scratch.
Valuable Virtual Investment
Anxious fans feel their hundreds of dollars invested in limited Tier 5 skins might be at risk according to a comment by Tubbychan. These skins are not just cosmetic adornments, they are a significant part of a player’s in-game identity. This could be a substantial blow to many players, especially those who have devoted significant time and resources to acquire these exclusive skins.
Transitions in Gaming
As pointed out by Old_Arrival_994, this transition is not unfamiliar to gamers. It’s common for sequel games to start with a clean slate, offering a different experience and inevitably leaving behind some old elements. Pegging it as similar to the case of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 and 2, he clearly sets the expectation of keeping the ‘legacy baggage’ behind.
Every Cloud has a Silver Lining
While the news may seem glum, SmitePhan offers a silver lining: indicating that T5s will stay in SMITE1. A system where the player doesn’t necessarily lose their precious skins but keeps them in the original game. But remember, it’s not just about the skins, but the whole new world Smite 2 is set to unveil.
Despite the shock, players might want to start looking forward to Smite 2, leaving their Tier 5 skins back in Smite 1. With new game dynamics, advanced specs, and hopefully new, stunning skins on their way, there’s still plenty to be excited about!
