Is it still possible to get the COG Scylla skin?

(willing to pay the equivalent of up to 8k gems for it)

COG skin was limited to season 2 of season ticket

So there's no skin codes or anything?

Also zitagirl told me it's still in the divine chest.

Need more info on that.

The COG Scylla skin was in the Divine chest last year but unfortunately I didn’t get it. I’m not sure if it’ll be in this year’s divine chest.

Btw, I would like to know how HiRez choose which gods would get the SWC skins. Thanks.

Is it possible to get multiple Divine Chests?

Otherwise, 1 shot per year sounds like 1 hell of a lottery.

Ikr I was hoping I'd get the COG Scylla but instead got the Ares SWC skin which I think is kinda lame. The Apollo skin would've been ok. But I got the skin I didn't want. Story of my smite life.

So correct me if I'm wrong.

You have only 1 chance to roll the Divine Chest per year (which also cost like 1500 gems for a bundle I never want, anyway).

There are 9 skins in it.

...

So...either I wait a decade while spending about $170 of gems or...? I give up? Sigh.

My Chance of NOT getting COG per year according to the laws of probability or something. (I probably fucked it up cuz I suck at math and literally learned nothing in high school XD in one ear, regurgitated on Test like Baka, then vanished like a Loki)

The ACTUAL probability tho assuming all rolls are independent, and they are unfortunately...is in ()

Year 1) 89% (89%)

Year 2) 78% (88%)

Year 3) 67% (86%)

Year 4) 56% (83%)

Year 5) 44% (80%)

Year 6) 33% (75%)

Year 7) 22% (67%)

Year 8) 11% (50%)

Year 9) 0% (0%)

Lovely.

To get even odds assuming the Universe is COMPLETELY FAIR TO ME (trust me my luck SUCKS) I'd need to wait 4-5 years.

To actually have a coin toss on getting it, I'd need to wait 8 years.

FML.

I don't care what anyone says, getting Archon Thanatos is easier. (isn't there smth like donate 1k to charity to get it? - meanwhile waiting 9 years seems harder to me)

9 years and $170ish vs $1000.

HMM it should be obvious which is easier.

This is assuming ofc that within that 9 years 1) Hirez doesn't remove the Divine Chest completely, 2) Hirez doesn't remove COG from the Divine Chest, 3) Hirez doesn't add MORE FUCKING SKINS TO IT, and 4) Smite doesn't die.

That's a fuckton to ask for.

Can I pls pay 1k and get it now? Please?

Sigh.

My life REALLY sucks...

Just use my acc then once in a while. I got the COG Scylla skin from Divine chest last year, but I’m not a fan of it.

Also question to stay on topic:
If you had a chance to bring back anything from Closed Beta version of Smite, what it would be?

Mystic Defender Neith is an Exclusive skin.

It's possible we could expand the Mystic Defender theme to other gods. I'm not sure how likely it is, but if the theme is liked enough by everybody and the community wanted more, we could possibly make more.

There are more Chibi plans in the future. And we even might do a non-mage. Fun fact: Tina said the reason we do mages for Chibi Skins is because the mages we've done so far all float. Making a Chibi skin is as hard as making a whole new character. Everything is different.

It's great that the Mystic Defender Neith skin is clarified. I thought I saw it somewhere saying its Limited. Also, I'm pretty sure it'll be popular enough to warrant more Mystic Defender skin series just like the superhero, cosmic, gentlemen, and rock-a-Billy's styles to name a few.

Hmmm gods that float.... Amaterasu and Thanatos confirmed. Lol So does Jing Wei count? Lol.

Are we ever going to get more of the in game HUD skins? To date i have only one (i cant remember if i got it from the Anubis demon pact event or the underworld event) and im not sure if there was ever one prior to this.

The answer is yes! We have a new HUD Theme planned as a collection reward in this years's Odyssey!

RE: mapping VGS taunts and jokes so you can choose a specific one:

3. MLC_St3alth and I talked this over and verified that PC SMITE doesn't have this feature. I like the direction though. I can think of several times where I outplayed someone and wanted to use a specific taunt in game.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]

Since each vgs line is recorded seperately, and since it's easy to expand the console and keyboard mapping for VGS commands, does this mean that we can expect this to be included in a coming patch? Any idea on ETA?
