At Hi-Rez Studios, our priority is to provide you with the most positive and engaging experience possible in SMITE 2. We ask you to help us uphold these values and work together to create an environment where everyone can enjoy the game.
PLAY AS A GOD, CONQUER AS A TEAM
Whether you're battling alongside friends or forming alliances with new players, the moment you enter the Battleground of the Gods, you become part of a team with a shared objective: victory. We encourage you to work together, embracing diverse strategies and styles of play.
Stay Committed: Don’t abandon your matches or teammates, even in challenging situations. Every game provides an opportunity for growth, both as a player and as a team. Persevere until the end.
Communicate Effectively: Utilize the in-game VGS (Voice Guided System) and pings to coordinate your team's movements, attacks, and defenses.
Adapt and Cooperate: Flexibility in strategy is key. Encourage collaboration, even if you believe you have a better approach. A good plan executed now is better than a perfect plan executed too late.
Lead with Respect: If you take on a leadership role, listen to and consider the perspectives of your teammates. Offer suggestions rather than dictating actions.
Promote Positive Play: Toxic behavior disrupts the team's synergy and can lead to punitive actions.
Examples of behavior that undermine teamwork and may result in disciplinary action include:Deliberately hindering your team's progress or assisting the enemy through intentional poor play..
Repeatedly going AFK (Away From Keyboard) during a match.
THE BATTLEGROUND SHOULD BE FAIR
Every match should be an opportunity to bring your best effort, with everyone having an equal chance to shine. Hi-Rez Studios is committed to ensuring fair play across all games.
No Cheating: We have zero tolerance for cheating and will aggressively combat it through various technical measures.
