But the thing is the Vodou religion is a monotheistic religion. The supreme god is Bondye, who's name from french to english means 'good god', like the celtic dagda i guess. Anyway they acknowledge the existence of lesser beings called the lwa or met tet. They're called the master of the head and everyone has one. I wonder if they'll just make them the stereotypical vodou stab a needle in a doll god or a more accurate one. They also kind of merged with the catholics so Bondye is God and the Lwa are the saints.

I personally can't believe they're adding another pantheon (let alone two!) when the Japanese pantheon they added all the way back in Season 3 only has six gods in it, and the pantheon they added this Season only has four! And on top of that, they're adding another to the Greek one, which already has sixteen!

Agreed, Tech. They're in over their heads. They really should dial it back, and flesh out the pantheons they currently have.

Relevant quote from HiRezAjax regarding that topic:
Quoted:
About the new pantheons:

- We want less restrictions on what Gods we make. We want to make the single coolest characters we can

- we will not be in a hurry to "fill out" a pantheon with Gods. Some might stay small for a while

- old pantheons will still get gods this year

Thanks to Janitsu for the signature!

Ahh, well that's cool. Creative freedom is important. But it might be good to get their brush strokes down first (e.g. clean up code so I don't get crashes/drops, cuz this doesn't happen in other games for me) before they work on their masterpiece.

I'm not too happy with new pantheons either.

TBH more interesting designs across several pantheons is going to do better than lackluster designs across a few. Quality over quantity in terms of individual designs instead of pantheons and from the perspective of someone in school for game design I have to agree with the choice. This also gives them a chance to bring more people in as they'll be more interested in pantheons more relevant to their experiences which will in turn help matchmaking due to increased player base.

@Bran I'm pretty sure god design and the places where you're crashes and drops are coming from are likely based in different coding teams.

I meant dedicating more of their team to bug fixes and other improvements rather than God design =p
