You lying fuckers said this game was shit. I've been playing it since this morning and it's honestly incredible.
Why is Parnel the best Assault?
Pretty fun now that it's free huh?
>>344330683
I'd tell you why, but you probably wouldn't listen.
>>344331725
This, OP is a retard.
Of course you're gonna have no remorse if it's free you bell-end. Imagine release with half the content and 60 dollars
No one really said it was shit, just that it was overpriced and lacked content, if it released for 15 bucks no one would have complained.
>>344332124
>it's okay when Overwatch does it
>>344332192
Never said that wasn't overpriced either, stop jumping to conclusions you faggot.
>remove most of the vegetation for improved visibility
>rebalanced everyone
>Trapper doesn't decide the game anymore
Its much more fast paced and you won't see someone Evolve before the first fight most of the time.
>>344332457
Not only that, it's overall a lot more fair all around. The domes were re-worked completely.
Before:
- Lasted a set amount of time, no matter whose ass is getting kicked.
- Easy to miss, and very punishing thanks to a cooldown time.
-Getting caught in it as a level 1 monster was almost always a death sentence.
Now:
- Has a base 5 minute duration
- Duration lowers for every Hunter incapped, or for every % of health lost depending on the monster's level.
- Can be used by literally anyone if the Monster is near them, and can't miss.
So not only is the game filled with more combat, but it's also a lot fairer. A lot less dull and punishing.
>>344332925
I'd like the vegetation back. Sneaking around is like impossible now
>>344333048
It definitely seems harder. I don't see why having vegetation was a problem, especially since Trappers can now just point straight to the monster as well as having other scanning abilities.
>>344333404
It wasn't removed for balancing reasons, it was removed so the game could run on toasters.
>best assault
>anyone but Mr Hyde
If Evolve becomes popular again does that mean we'll get more wraith porn?
>>344333529
Aw really? That's shit. They should have just found a way to optimize it.
>>344333663Hopefully
>>344330683
I said it was full of dlc/mt for an already barebones game when it came out, I never said it was shit.
Also they tweaked the game, you had to run a fuck ton in the vanilla release version just to get to the action which was only 1 monster
>>344330683
It's fun because it feels new.
Give it a couple of days and you start hating it too.
>people still think level 1 team wipe isn't possible
Do the damn Goliath tutorial and unlock the best monster in the game. Not that hard.
>>344335415
>best monster in the game
Last I saw it, it was Kraken who is the best monster in the game.
>>344335527
Does the kraken do half a hunter's health with a level 1 skill?
>>344335885
Actually it does. He's right, Kraken is OP as fuck.
I'd say Gorgon is the worst though since it can't be slowed and chases forever
>>344335885
Yes, I think it can. The big lightning bolt was very powerful from what I remember - unless they nerfed it.
Anyway, what makes Kraken OP is its ability to make sure that once someone's down, they absolutely stay down. with absolutely no risk.
I definitely reckon the best change was with the dome not being tied to the Trapper. Literally any time the Trapper would trap a monster, all it had to do was focus them down in order to get free.
>>344336317
Is there a way to destroy the dome now?
>>344336617
The more damage you do to the hunters the faster it goes down, i think.
>>344336617
Yeah, certain events make it tick down faster.
When it's thrown out, it starts at a 5 minute duration.
If the Monster incaps a Hunter, the timer decreases by 3.5 minutes (210 seconds).
If the Hunters deal health damage to the Monster, the timer is reduced in 60 second increments.
Stage 1: -60 seconds for every 4% of health lost
Stage 2: -60 seconds for every 6.5% of health lost
Stage 3: -60 seconds for every 8.5% of health lost
So basically at all stages in the game, the monster can escape faster for knocking anyone own.
Monsters can also escape faster depending on how much health they lose and what stage they are. Stage 1 monsters escape quite quickly, Stage 3 monsters take more than twice as long to escape.
>>344336617
Every time you take I think 10-20%~ of your real health, the dome's timer goes down a minute. Knocking down any hunter also lowers it by some amount I didn't really pay attention to, 3 minutes I think.
It starts with a 5 minute duration.
Evolve is pure vaporware, just like Titanfall.
Sorry your shitty game didn't get popular, it just wasn't fun.
>>344336007
>>344336067
Whatever the point is Meteor Goliath is garbage when you get his superior version for free.
>>344331987
>half the content
Loving this meme.
Hey, I'm downloading Stage 2 right now.
What do I get as a 'founder'?
Please say something good because I spent 60 dollars on this @ launch and got 11 hours out of it. 11 hours of the game shilling it's overpriced dlc.
>>344337347
He's not wrong, at launch the game had far less content than it does now.
>>344337578
You get everything unlocked.
>>344337625
Not half though, no where near half. The DLCs added about 25% more content with characters and monsters.
That planetary tracking shit.
I dont know how i feel yet. Alright game overall.
I'm probably going to play it now more now than I did before F2p.
Reason being I have people the play it with now.
Soloing is tediously boring.
That being said give it a bit and the endless running and novelty of the game will wear thin. There is very little content and the replay value isn't anything remotely cloee to what a multiplayer game should be.
>>344337187
That's not what vaporware means you stupid fuck.
>>344337797
I thought you got exactly what you had before?
Were the balance changes really necessary? I thought the game was fine beforehand. They just dumbed it down a bit.
/v/ shits on evolve cause they're all poor college kids
>>344337980
>That planetary tracking shit.
It's really made Trappers and Monster Stealth feel pretty useless. They introduced it to combat the "running simulator" problem new/bad players experience.. but I'm not sure I like it.
>>344330683
Eh. Now that everyone can trap and combat is forced, the entire hunter team depends on the medic not being a retarded piece of shit.
Game just traded one malady for the other. Fun for a couple rounds but that's about it, let's not even mention the fact the grind is absurd.
>>344337578
You get everything you had before and 3,000 silver keys (used to unlock hunters, monsters, etc). I haven't played yet but my cursory look at some gameplay reveals you get 10 keys for a loss and 30 for a win, so that's a decent chunk to start you off with.
>>344337187
>vaporware

>Hear the Parnell dialogues
>He's a closet gigantic weaboo
>He and Abe read comics between missions
This is hilarious.
Is the cooldown for the dome global or per person? If it's per person that could get very annoying for the monster, the hunters could just pop one dome after another and they'd have no chance to evolve.
>>344339160
global
>>344339160
Global.
>>344339160
Global, dumbass. If it was per person the monster wouldn't be able to get out ever.
>>344338801
Getting silver keys is actually pretty fast, the better you play the more you get, levelling a character up also gives a nice bonus
>download game for free
>unlock every character with steam cache modifying
>mfw
thanks 2K
I love this guy, how do I actually get good with him though?
>>344337838
The game released with 12 hunters and 3 monsters. Post-release DLC added 8 hunters and 2 monsters. Plus Arena mode.
Post-release content has been much more than 25%.
>>344337578
You get basically any characters you had unlocked pre F2p and some animated foreground emblems. That's pretty much it.
I was disappointed too.
>>344330683
He's got the most DPS out of the Assaults but he's not Lennox or Torvald.
Would you sign up to fight monsters just to spend time with this cutie?
>>344338552
>/v/ hates evolve because they're jobless highschoolers who already spent their allowance money on hats in tf2
Ftfy
>>344339501
Also less graphics, less ambience because toasters, less options, less videos ingame and 4 gamemodes stripped.
Also some dialogues were unique to THOSE gamemodes.
t-thanks.
>>344337578
3000 in-game currency. Your first login bonus is 1500, and you make about 300 a game.
You get 4 badges.
All the characters you had unlocked before and their variants. I haven't played in forever, so I don't know if you had to unlock Meteor Goliath, Elder Krakan, Blitz Markov, Spec Tech Hank, Wasteland Maggie, and Rogue Val before.
>>344330683
Did you get both season passes? or does the free version come with all the DLC content?
Is there a plan to go F2P on consoles as well? Or are they waiting to see how fast it tanks again on PC before making a move?
>>344339742
That sounds pretty shit m8
>>344339424
The way his shotgun works is it has a dynamic spread. If you haven't shot in a while, it has a tight cone. The more you fire, the more it spreads out.
The more pellets that hit a target, the more heal burst recharge you get.
The aim then is to find the sweet spot where you're maximizing how many pellets you can land in as little time as possible without putting yourself in danger.
Stink grenades got a nerf, but are still useful. It limits the monster's smelling range by a large percentage. It's good to use it when he's attacking you or in conjunction with shields so as to throw the monster off of people's trails.
>>344338754
You can alleviate the Medic's burden with good Support, especially Hank, and good Trappers, especially Griffin.
But it still pretty much relies on the Medic knowing how to kite somewhat effectively.
>>344339948
On the other side, the game is still fun and we've got people to play with.
But yeah nobodoy is mentioning the actual butchering of the game.
>>344339742
I'm pretty sure a lot of what got stripped is just being tweaked and will be added in again later. Hence why it says beta at the bottom right side of the screen.
>No more Tyrants
FUCK THIS GAME. If they keep making monsters, one of them better be a granddaddy Tyrant. They keep talking about how monster DNA evolves aggressively and keeps adding new shit to it. Where's my Tyrant monster?
>>344340118
It's likely I won't reinstall, I fully expect it to tank again. May be popular for a short while, but it'll be outshined in a few months. Was fun the last time I played it, though. I liked the chase more than the fights, and it seems like they're trying to push the fights more than anything.
Yo Bucket isn't literally garbage anymore. The Mechanized Recharge actually might be a little too strong since it completely resets all class abilities. Maybe just a cooldown reduction would be more balanced.
Why is the matchmaking so fucking broken?
It literally shows 5 players found but the game never fucking gets past that screen
>>344338627
Actually the Planet Tracker doesn't negate Sneaky Monster entirely, you just gotta know when to sneak.
I was playing a full game with my friends, we had all chat on, and I was Golden Skin Goliath. They were chasing me and the Trapper activated PT, I kept running for about 10 seconds then stopped behind a wall. Managed to sneak through them but the time that took allowed the PT to come back online. Heard them call me out when PT activated, could've gotten away too but I stopped to destroy Kala's teleporter. Still won the game though.
Point of the story is Sneaky Monster is possible, but you gotta sneak after the PT is over.
>>344340276
Tyrants are coming back, but TRS are reworking how they behave or some shit.
is it even possible to win as a monster since the hunters can infinitely revive?
>>344343402
Camp ontop of them till they tick over. Also each time they're knocked down they lose 25% max health, on the 3rd knock down they die.
Lazarus glove doesn't add a tick though.
>>344343402
git gud
>>344332192
/v/ is one person
The little chats before combat are nice and the game seems genuinely enjoyable at the moment.
Glad I didn't pay for it.
>>344333679
Going f2p means they're going to pull in the cyka blyat crowd sitting in front of crt monitors and sitting on milk crates
Why is cabot so bad compared to Hank? It is a shame since he is much more fun but he doesn't have le "I shield u" so he is trash.
>>344345097
He's more aggressive than Hank, so if you have a good damage team then you can tear the monster apart.
>>344339492
Not to mention there were a couple of maps thrown in there as well and alt sets for the tier 1 hunters. You are right 50% of the content was post release
