I got until march to get cacodemon?

grind.exe

Now there is no excuse to not focus on balance gods, before they you could make the argument "Its still in beta" now that's no longer possible.

Also Having almost all gods be balanced upon launch will impressive both Smite fans and other people who have not tried/don't know about the game get.

Now I have a deadline. I think I can get 2 levels in 5 months.

I Need CACODEMON YMIR NOW #THATGRIND

It's easy to get to lvl 30. I think I only made it in less than 2 months. So some of you guys don't need to worry.

Level 30 is easy. Now let's talk about ranked. THAT'S hard...

Oh well, I'm happy that Smite will finally be released. I loved to help the game to improve in the Closed beta!

as far as i noticed that the players in same range of levels are playing together in a match

i mean player lvl 1 - 10 they play in a match together

11 - 20 same story

21 - 30 same story

so i think new players wont be in a match with old players ( which their levels range is between 18 - 30 )

i hope u got my point

yay

now my friends will try it out :D

So if I am not misunderstanding, this tournament will be Conquest?
A shame, because I prefer Arena :3
