Bug fixes
UI
Gifting
Fixed a problem where the menu would sometimes close when attempting to look for “Other Players” to send a present to
Fixed a problem where buying a skin within the lobby would seem to form that the chosen skin – but loading into the match would equip the previously selected skin before the acquisition
General Gameplay
Implemented a Hotfix (Live Already) – that attempts to repair the problems where certain gods would seem to be stuck in certain animation states – for instance, Serqet would seem to be repeatedly leaping. These gods weren’t actually firing these abilities repeatedly, it just seemed like they were. This issue should be fixed already or greatly reduced in its chance of occurring.
Fixed a problem where almost any god/skin had an opportunity for its voice pack to become silent for one match
Fixed a problem where it seemed to players who purchased a skin within the god lobby as if the skin was selected, until the loading screen where it might be reverted to their previously selected skin.
Clash Map
Removed an unintended fog volume that was visible within the jungle areas of this mode
Gods
Danzaburou
Fixed a problem where his Ability 02 – Alluring Spirits – might be canceled mid-fire without being placed on cooldown
Fixed a problem where level-up effects would play on Danzaburou when he’s in leaf shape – these will not play on him at that point
Fixed a problem where the buff icons from his passive would sometimes not appear as intended
Fixed a problem where his ult might be interrupted while CC immune and already firing
Hel
Fixed a problem where Hel had unintended reduced healing while in her dark stance
Fixed a problem where Decay hit FX were playing in incorrect ways on enemy gods/minions hit by the effect
Set
Fixed a problem where Set’s sand clones would sometimes deal no damage when passing through enemies.
Ymir
Fixed a problem where it had been possible to stack 2 copies of Frostbite in some scenarios.
Awilix
Fixed a problem where if Awilix was interrupted during the casting time on Suku’s Leap – she would be far away from Suku. If she didn’t leap, she should get another chance to leap. If she is interrupted while leaping – this ability will continue to cooldown.
Aphrodite
Fixed a problem where Love Birds would sometimes not hit enemies clearly within the hit area
Hera
Fixed a typo in her achievement text
The Morrigan
Fixed a problem where her victory/defeat animations could get out of sync
Skins
Poseidon
Fixed a problem where Tidal Surge’s collision was different on the Dreadbead skin.
Nu Wa

Vulcan
Fixed a problem where the simpleton Skin could become stuck in specific animations
Nemesis
Fixed visual issues on the targeters for the Primal Vengeance and World Tour skins
Zeus
Fixed a problem where the Eternal Tormenter skin would sometimes not display the orange runic circle visual element of the skin
Xing Tian
Fixed a problem on the Gecko Gladiator skin where the Gecko heads could get into unintended positions
Ares
Fixed a problem where the Oni skin was using the power 1 chains sound on death – it’ll now play a special chains sound on death
T5 Skins
Fixed a problem where these skins would have silent VGS when using “god” VGS rather than “skin” VGS
Chibi Skins
Fixed a problem where these skins wouldn’t display Nike’s Laurel effects properly

Each Update will have a selected theme that follows the SMITE storyline and god release plan.
Each Update will have art and style updates to the map to go with the theme.
Conquest is our best game mode and that we want to extend its ability to receive art and style updates to levels never seen before!
There will still be continual balance changes to the map every update, especially as we gather data and feedback at the beginning of the season.

Wider map from lane to lane
Longer map from base to base
Completely reworked Jungle with more variance in its paths and geometry. Some paths are especially narrow, et al. are much wider.
