SMITE Beta Version 0.1.2027.1

## Skins

* The Heavy Metal Thor skin has had a variety of FX improvements.

## General

* The Item Store has undergone several feature enhancements and bug fixes, including:

* Recommended Items are now a separate tab on the Item Store, and have undergone significant changes and improvements.
* Significant performance optimizations.
* Search in Item Store now applies to all item tiers (regardless of current filter type).
* Removed the Crit Chance filter for magic users (since unused).
* Filter and view choices now persist correctly across login sessions
* Fixed an issue in which “stacking” items were available in Assault. Also improved `the visual presentation in the Item Store when certain items are disabled because of gamemode.
* Fixed an issue where purchasing Bloodforge would no longer allow you to purchase Cursed Gauntlet.
* Fixed an issue with owning Hide of the Urchin that prevented you from purchasing Cloak.
* Fixed an issue with Fatalis showing on Ancient Blade tooltip.
* NOTE: The ALL ITEMS tab on the Item Store now has a “FAVORITE” heading where the RECOMMENDED heading was previously. This shows the Auto-Buy items (which will switch if you save a profile on the Character Builder page -- same as previous).
* NOTE 2: This is an early version of the recommended items. We welcome feedback and suggestions regarding the currently configured recommendations!!

* The jungle buff timers on the mini-map and in-world now appear only if your team had visibility to the buff camp when the buff was last taken. Visibility can be gained by either having a player in vision range or via a ward or pet.
* Fixed an issue in which the jungle buff timers could be incorrect under certain situations.
* When you create a custom match, you now automatically join the queue for that match instead of having to separately join the queue after creating.
* The announcer sounds for multi-kills and some other in-game achievements have been modified. This includes some new functionality for killstreaks, etc. Expect additional changes in the future.
* A combat log has been added. When toggled on, this will show in the chat area in place of chat and lists damage you have taken recently. PAGE UP is default key to toggle on/off.
* The game has received various performance improvements. These should be most noticeable at low settings in Conquest.
* The artistic treatment at end of of match has undergone some modifications.
* Fixed an issue in which your preferred skin choice would not save correctly in the match lobby. NOTE: As part of this fix, all previous default skin selections have been removed.
* You can no longer report AI Bots from the end of match lobby screen in Co-Op matches (lol).
* Fixed a bug related to auto-purchase of items from the same tree.
* Fixed several issues that would lead to inaccurate or incomplete information being shown in the Death Recap screen (“Y”).
* Fixed an issue in which Pets (such as Vulcan’s Turret) would not properly give assists if the god was out of assist range. Note that the pet must contribute damage to be awarded an assist (proximity is not enough).
* Several cleanups and fixes have been made to the Deserter system. The dreaded 540-minute false deserter issue should hopefully now be slain. Please report any future occurences or issues.
* Fixed some minor sound issues in the Arena map.
* Fixed some minor UI issues on the Buddy List.
* Addressed an issue where stunned targets would sometimes briefly continue moving.

## Spectator

* Significant UI Overhaul, including the implementation of several new features:

* Configuration panel has been updated, moved and is easily hideable.
* Kill notifications have been updated.
* F5 will expose a new team fight panel.
