The Smite team has released the latest patch notes for the closed beta version of the game. The patch is expected to deploy today with the server being down for several hours.

General:

• New Match Invite process
  • When a suitable match of players has been found, a new screen pops up for the 10 players that says Accept and Decline.  As soon as all of the players have accepted the invite, the match launches everyone into the match lobby.  If someone does not accept the invite, the match is cancelled and everyone else is requeued with a higher priority.
  • If someone accepts the match invite and then leaves the match lobby, they will gain a debuff and be unable to play a match for a specified amount of time.
  • Note that aspects of this process are still being tweaked and the UI is not in its final intended state.
