SmiteFire Blogs

This was a fun night...Zilby came back to play with us for a bit. In addition, we welcomed 2 SF members to the clan...Carve (boogiebass) and Vocoder (DV-8). After some earlier games (a couple of failed Custom matches and a solid Corrupted Arena match), Carve went to play with his friend, so we got into a Conquest match (unusual for us these days).

Our roster:

• Taco: Vulcan Mid
• GGF: Ne Zha Jungle
• DV-8: Guan Yu Solo
• Zilby: Apollo ADC
• Me: Ganesha Support

After what felt (to me) like a slightly rough first 5 minutes (at around 4:20, the fun started, with Taco rotating to our lane but 2 of theirs rotating in also), things started looking up for us.

I still find myself wandering without purpose too much, and not dropping enough wards. Will probably continue to happen unless I play Conquest more. Oh well.

Solid games from everyone, though the competition was questionable...I outdamaged the enemy Hel, Ravana, and Ganesha, and was within 500 damage of outdamaging their Ap…

Hello there again, it's me; your friendly neighborhood Zilby

So if you've been around Smitefire for some time then you might remember this blog from awhile back.
But if you don't remember here's the gist:

• I'm a game developer / programmer currently in college.
• I'm making a game called Refraction in my free time, it's a top down arena battle game built in the game engine Unity using C#.
• I need playtesters again!

So last time I did this you guys gave a TON of great feedback, a lot of which has been incorporated into the game at this point. Since then there's been a lot of progress made on the game and overall it's much more polished. Some new features added since last time:

• 10 new levels!
  
• New enemy types! (+ miniboss!)
  
• 28 achievements to unlock!
  
• Rewards (ie: player skins and songs)!
  
• Balancing! (Eg: sword got buffed, hit detection is better, certain enemies nerfed)
  
• Checkpoint system for harder difficulties!
  
• Controller support! (Sorta - still in alpha)
  
• Optimization! Should

So you've been wondering when I vanished to for the past couple months. So let me talk about my status. So I finally started my last year of High-school earlier this week. I hit my 2 year anniversary with SMITE on July 30th, yes I know it's really late but I still want to mention it. So this year is going to be important for me due to creeping slowly to College that I already decided what college I want to go to. So this year is going to be hiatus due to School and preparing for College. But still expect me to be on this site I will still comment and drop in from time to time. Probably work on guides as well from time to time, but utter mostly my activity on site for around a year is going to decline. But when College comes around expect me on this site more frequently. It just determines when I begin and how many classes and how much work am I going to bring in my first semester. Don't worry I'm not done with SMITE nor done with this fabulous site and community we have here. So I hope…

Hello Everyone,

I have started working on an in-depth Artio Guide. The guide will centered around Joust, but I feel the build, and content will be viable for any game-mode, with maybe the exception of Assault.

Anyways, It's not going to be out until maybe Patch 4.16 or 4.17, just because I kind of want all the dust to settle with Artio, and see how the incoming balancing will impact her build and what not. It'll pretty much be the same format as all of my guides if you've ever seen them... Anubis (archived), and Nemesis.

I am very excited to be back on SmiteFire full force. Artio has in a sense revived my love for Smite. I just hit the first Mastery with her lastnight and my KDA up to that point is 63/33/149. Here's my recent games if you wanted to check them out!

On a final note, I created a club on Xbox One for any SMiteFire users who'd like to join it. It's called Smite Fire XB1!

Fun facts:

• My first comment: Magic Link
• Unsurprisingly, Bran was the first person to comment in one of my guides.
• Talking about guides, I created three in this last year - 2 of which I'm not working on currently (The Sobek one is being updated soon™).
• I also managed to win a contest and almost win another one. Btw, what happened to Pellie?
• I met a bunch of cool people. Friends, if I'm allowed to call them/you that.

It was a wonderful year and I want many more to come.

I was thinking about something tho... what do you guys think of me?

Since I've been busy with going to work as well as getting ready for college, I barely have any time anymore to make lengthy guides. So I thought of an idea to keep my guides more frequent in the updates but without all the hassle. So from this point on, I will be removing builds as there are many possibilities to build up a god but also because since balancing forces me to work from square one again. With the item section, I'll give a description on how a god should be built (auto-attack, bulky, ect.) with an example build for visual.
Is this lazy on my part, might be, but I want to make guides for my favorite gods and finish my warrior series without having take too long working on one guide then having to stop to update another.
If this is going to be a problem and forces my work to no longer be called "guides" then I'll go back to standard.

hey guys I need your help! How do you guys add photos on your guide I was using photobucket before but it ruined my guide basically they wanted me to upgrade (PAY) for their website and it locked my photos out. After 8 years of using photobucket, I think it's time to close my account. Greedy mfs! anyway, do you guys know any website that allows you to save photos? Thank you so much! :D

Last night, I played one of my toughest Clash matches to my recollection. It lasted 52 minutes!!!! We were facing 5 Diamond gods and they were a party of 3 and a party of 2. We were all solo queue and I was the only Diamond with Skadion my team.
Match stats are here if you care.

We somehow managed to pull out the win. I died way to many times, but had solid damage and did a bunch of tower damage. I changed my build several times because of all the CC the enemy team had. I got chained so many times that it became increasingly frustrating and we almost surrendered numerous times. My original build was my normal. Transcendence Warrior Tabi Asi Qin's Sais Titan's Bane then Magi's Blessing. I usually wouldn't get Magi and would get Shifter's Shield or The Crusherinstead but I was getting CC'ed to much that I couldn't keep up with Purification always on Cooldown it seemed. So I decided to mix and match.

Late game, I felt like I still wasn't doing much because I could not do any dam…
