SMITE Giveaway

[NightHawk21]

So with the recent controversy over the SMITE roster, and their current presence at Quake Con, the game is getting a lot of publicity, but not many people have gotten the chance to play it yet. As such I realized that I can invite people to the game (ie. grant them beta access), so I've decided I'd open this up to the escapist community. So if you wanted to see what all the fuss is about (or maybe the lack there of) now's your chance.

To get a key, simply pm me your email, and I'll send you one (you can post it here if you want I guess but I'd advise against that). If you don't want to give some random person on the internet your email (I totally understand), set up a trash email, and pm me that. It sends a code, so you should be able to simply use it with your main account later if you wish.

Also if you get a code, leave a thank you or some sort of a bump to increase the threads visibility.

Anyways, enjoy.


Edit: Going away till the 13th, so any pms from now (August 10th) to Aug. 13th will get keys on the 13th.

I wonder if I can get a beta key if I just show up at their front door. I work right down the street from them.

You could make this into a massive chain, since whoever you invite gets 3 codes, everybody that wanted one could get one if they posted in this thread o:

I don't think we have too. I think now the beta testers (don't know if just the first wave that received invites or others) have the ability to manually send beta invites to email accounts.

Decided to attach a video of TB playing the game for people who don't know what the gameplay is like.

Played a few games today. It is really funky and takes awhile to get used to, but I had fun. The community is a mixed bag already though. At least one person left the match early in every game. Super lame. Oh, and Ymir and Artemis are fucking OP as hell.

Its early in beta I think so lots of people aren't committed to finishing games. I was thinking that made a sort of escapist group that plays together could somewhat remedy the situation, but idk it was just a thought

I just got an invite, going to try it out in a few minutes.

I have 3 passes to give out as well, PM me if you want one.

I've got two spare invites going, drop a PM for one.

If anyone is up for a game drop me a friend request on the game. ToastyVirus is the name.

Think I am going to do a little off-the-cuff video review of the beta. Are there any points you can think of that should be brought up? It'll probably be about 5 or 10 minutes long.

I have 1 beta key left if some one wants it, pm me.

Ah, almost forgot, if one of you guys want to group up, my username is redler

Idk. It might be good to touch on how the game differs from LoL and Dota. Maybe also touch on the how the heroes differ, and how the gameplay differs (by that I mean in LoL you have 2 real phases, the laning phases and the post-laning phase).

The change of perspective and the flow of the game will definitely be the biggest talking points for sure.

Thanks a bunch for the key, OP

How's the difficulty curve? I've played Awesomenauts and about 3 games of DOTA 2, so I'd be coming in with limited experience.

Controversy aside, I for one think it'll be cool to play as various cultures' gods, not to mention an amazing opportunity for tangential learning. (Yep, I'm going to read every paragraph of those "lore" tabs.)
