SMITE Update 12.48 Patch Notes

QUALITY OF LIFE

The Maya Pantheon Icon

• has been Updated to be a more accurate symbol of Maya Mythology – it references the famous Maya civilization Chichen Itza.

Leaps vs Persistent CC

• Leaping into a persistent CC area will now deal damage or apply any other effects of the leaps landing effect
• Previously, leaping into these areas would CC the leaping god and negate any damage or other effects from their leap ability

Root Cripples

• This effect is now its own unique type of CC
• This effect now has a unique CC Debuff Bar Icon
• This  effect applies 1 stack of DR
• This fixes a variety of issues where roots or cripples applied at the same time could last different durations and create mismatching CC effects

Roots Immune to DR are now a possible CC effect

• At this time this only applies to Persephone’s Ultimate direct hit target, but could be used in future designs

HUD Update

• We do plan to bring back and re-enable the New HUD for all platforms with 10.4, with a few big changes and extra criteria:
• Going forward, all players will have access to both the Old HUD and the New HUD – which can be toggled via the User Interface Settings
• No new HUD features will be available in the Old HUD, including the Console HUD editor
• PC Players will default to New HUD
• Console Players will default to the Old HUD, with option to opt into the new HUD if they are interested.
• More Navigation and Design improvements for the New Console HUD will be the top priority in future updates.
• Multiple issues affecting performance related to FPS or Network lag have been implemented, and will be monitored closely at launch. If performance still struggles in 10.4 we might disable the HUD again

HUD Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where multiple HUD elements would move together while editing
• Removed the Ability Icon border flash that occurs at 1s remaining cooldown time
