I'm curious, which fanbase do you think was cuckolded harder, Evolve or Battleborn?

Pic related, everyone who bought into Evolve from the beginning lost almost everything they earned, getting 3000 credits instead which isn't even enough to buy a skin.

Thank you based key resellers.

>>344486067
When both the hunters suck and the monster suck, hunters win every time.
When both sides are decent, monster wins.
When both sides are actually good, it can go either way.
There is legitimately zero way to beat a well coordinated premade Hunter team who don't suck though. Zero.
The caveat to this is, If the monster is good but only 3 people on the Hunter team are good the Monster is going to stomp them because you can't carry a retard once the monster gets to stage 2. All in all it's surprisingly balanced for being so asymmetrical. Not perfect, but adequate.
>>
Having a good time with it, definitely worth a play now it's gone free.
>>
It's fucking impossible to play/win as Monster unless you're pro-tier or hunters are pure shit (the latter being quite likely right now). Also can't play stealthy as monster, and escaping/fleeing is tough too, for the hunters as well actually.
Aside from the game, the store and options are kinda shit but at least it's not too difficult to unlock stuff (borderline p2win with the perks though.)

>>344485827
Support is bro-tier, low-pressure, and attracts the least attention from the monster. Trappers are pretty similar to this too now that the dome has been changed.

Question though, what determines how long the arena stays up now? Sometimes it seems to stay up forever, other times it only lasts a few seconds even if the hunters don't get downed?

How am I supposed to stay alive as medic? The monster just pounds me, constantly, over and over like a fucktoy until I'm dead the second we lock it down. Even when jetpacking around, firing healing grenades at myself and using my healing burst, I'm almost always down by the time the arena is down. What do?
>>
>>344486925
>what determines how long the arena stays up now?

It's 5 minutes, every time a Hunter is downed the time is reduced by 3 minutes. It also drops when the Monster loses 25% of its actual HP HP.

>>344487027
Abuse your Jetpack. The biggest advantage Hunters have over the monster in direct combat is that they can shoot while using their Jetpack to jump up on cliffs, but the Monster can't attack while it climbs. Go up, when the Monster followers, Jet to another elevated position, and so on. It also really helps if your team has a Support that isn't completely retarded. The support is meant to peel for you.

Support or Trapper.

Don't get close to the monster. The only person who should be getting close to the Monster is the Assault.
Also, if the Monster downs but doesn't kill your teammate, don't fucking run over to them. It's a trap.

As a F2P game it's fun! unfortunately it has that same fading luster as Battlefront EA did. It's cool at first and you can't wait to see all the weapons and locations and play all the things.

And then you play all the things and there's nothing left. Each week they rotate 4 hunters and one monster and I think they rotate the maps as well. So unless you spend keys on hunters or monsters you're always confined to just 5 possible characters. Plus the one hunter and one monster you get from doing the tutorial.

In order to get new monsters and hunters and shit, you must play the game to get silver keys. Being a launch weekend, TRS has graciously given us double keys for the whole weekend! Unfortunately, double keys is still a measely rate of earning; when you completely dominate a game and bust out some crazy fucking stats for a twenty minute game, you'll get like, 100 keys, maybe 200 or 300 if you complete some challenges while in game (which, by the way, those challenges are ONE-TIME PAY-OUTS. If you get a bonus for winning 5 games in a row, then lose, you won't get another bonus for winning five gams in a row). Average Hunter is something like 5 or 6 grand, most expensive I think is 8000. Most expensive monster is 9000 I think. So to get the good hunters or the most OP monsters (more on that in a moment) you need to play a healthy number of games with the measely content you are given.

As for the monsters themselves. If you are pubbing, monster almost always wins. If you have a premade, hunters almost always win. There's no middle ground. Also, Gorgon, Kraken, and Wraith are practically guaranteed wins. The balance is totally fucked. The only fun games are against Goliaths.

Play it while the population is booming and while the novelty is still there, because it'll fade fast. For the moment, I am still having moderate amounts of fun.

Healing as EMET is a nightmare though. No one understand they need to be close to you or the grenades to be healed.

Wraith is 9000, Kraken is 8000, Parnell is 8000. The good shit is very expensive.
>>
>>344490452
I think he is meant to act like a 2nd Assault. His turrets can do good damage but its not reliable because the damage is position based. You also need to hit alot of your rockets on point to make it worth.

Whereas with, lets say hank, you can shield an assault to let him deal reliable damage or a healer so s/he can self-heal while shielded.

Bucket is pretty much redundant, which is unfortunate.

>>
>>344482959
They fucked the "founders" with this and removed all their paid content, then gave them about 30 minutes work worth of in game currency/XP as a way to say sorry. In a few months they'll release a unique skin for each monster/hunter that'll just be a palette swap instead of a brand new model, and call it a day

You were playing a shitty wraith; probably some new player that looked up "how to play Op monsters" on youtube and just used those two moves over and over because they lacked knowledge of how to actually play the game.

In truth, playing against wraith, just bend over. 99% you'll lose in the end, just get the game over with so you can move on. Her traverse rate is fucking ridiculous, her damage is fucking ridiculous, all of her abilities are absolute killers. She's just really fucking good, and she's been complained about since the game made retail release.

They still haven't been able to fix her to be fair, so take that as a hint of how good their balancing department is.

Wraith is stealth play. Sneak around the map eating things and getting strong, then ambush the hunters and wreck them.

>They fucked the "founders" with this and removed all their paid content
What are you talking about?

I reinstalled for the first time in months and all the hunters and monsters I had unlocked are there and ready to play
>>
>>344490579
You don't. Even if you do shoot it it'll just instantly teleport halfway across the map and continue to do so until it's level 3, and when that happens, you better be near the generator, because if you aren't it'll destroy it before you can even get close to it. The only winning move against the wraith is to quit.
>>
How do you beat Gorgon? That things movement is insane.
>>
>>344490809
Wait are the starter characters more expensive or something?

I have those characters from founders. All season pass 1 and 2 characters are 5.5k for me, and the Gorgon was 6.5k.
>>
Wraith is most fun against bads, as soon as the planet scan wears off I double back behind them and abduct the slowest one. Half the time they die by the time the dome goes up. That said the game gets boring after 8 hours

>im not trapped in here with you you're locked in here with me!
>>
>>344484312
You get to keep all the original characters, and any DLC you bought, skins or characters, you also get all those skins from the "PLEASE PLAY OUR GAME" weekends

Anything you unlocked in the game like badges or elite skins? NOPE, GOTTA UNLOCK THAT SHIT AGAIN.
>>
>>344490874
You're a lucky faggot. The two wraiths I've fought got to level 2 in literally 1 minute and then proceeded to rape my entire team in about the same amount of time.

>>344491402
Gorgon is another case of broken balance, which I think it's a by-product of their hunter rotation system. The free hunters for this week are just BAD against Gorgon, so Gorgon wrecks nearly all the time.

Her acid Spit and Web blast thing are the only two useful skills she has. The spider bomb thing is a nice distraction but it's not worth putting points into before you've maxed out acid spit and spider web thing.

The spit can down a hunter from full health stupidly fast. The web has a shitton of push back and a respectable amount of damage. And you're rate, her traversal is fucking insane. She covers more ground than the wraith, which means engagements happen when the Gorgon wants them to happen. If the gorgon player has even a modicum of intelligence, you won't catch her until she's level 3. If you're REALLY lucky, you'll force her into one engagement when she's level 2 then the dome drops and you won't see her again until she wants you to.

Kraken is fucked for the time being because the two assaults you have access to both have measely ranged options. Markov's AR only does 18 dmg per hit and Hyde's chaingun does like, 19 or something. So you're primary damage dealers are forced to use their worse weapons because the Krakan is in the air 99% of the time and nowhere near close enough for the flamethrower or electro-gun.

Not only that, but there's always the chance the free hunters for the week are just bad. Hank is absolutely awful, even moreso against a kraken because his orbital bombardment becomes useless. Hyde is basically a worse version of Markov. Caira's heal grenade launcher actually takes some amount of aiming skill to use, and runs out of utility quick unless your team is all bunched up, which they often aren't because it's a death sentence. And the Trapper for the week is only useful for his tracking darts. That's it. This week's hunters are garbage.
>>
>>344491468
I never had the game at release so I don't know which characters are season pass 1 or 2 characters. All I know is some hunters are 5k, some are 8k, there's one that's like 3k.

Gorgon is 6.5k, you got that right. But Wraith, and Kraken are VERY expensive compared to what you earn per game.

I can understand why this game failed as hard as it did, it wasn't just the insane DLC policy, the fucking thing is so goddamn boring, ever since I got a monster that was a bit more agile I only ever encounter the hunters when I'm level 3 already and for a hunter to even get to the monster its another tedios bullshit because you have to hope that the player fucks up for you to even get near him and the combat is incredibly unbalance, as soon as the medic is taken down you can just mow down everyone
else

I honestly feel sorry for the people who actually put money on this unbalanced mess

Why did it fail? It's honestly a really cool concept, and I could at least say the monsters look neat.

>HAHAHAHA
>So should I play it?

so all of the standard /v/ faggotry aside what the fuck is up with this game. I'm trying it out on training and every time I kill someone I turn around to slap someone elses shit and the other person is immediately revived! do I have to sit on this fucker until hes super dead or can I drag his corpse? seriously I'm getting raped by the computer while killing them at the same time
>>
>>344498694
There's a healer that can quickly revive, and other teammates can "Hold F" to get others up.
>>
>>344498796
from what I can tell I killed the healer, how am I not strong enough to make them think twice about reviving their team. I just walk back up to them and start slapping their shit and they still get back up.
>>
>>344498961
You know a downed teammate also has a health bar right? It's constantly on the down before they officially die, but you can cut it short ever faster if you keep attacking them while they're down.
>>
this game is fun as fuck, holy shit I'm glad they rebalanced it.
>>
>>344498694
The skull that appears in place of their health when you down them is a second health bar. When it empties they die, when it fills get the back up. If they die they can respawn after 120 seconds.
As a Monster you want to down them then get them to 50% and leave them. That way it's hard for their teammates to get them up, and they can't respawn and fuck you.
>>
>>344492821
LENNOX IS GOD MODE. Lance the fuck out of any monster and win. Except the piece of shit wraith, who will kill everyone before you do.
>>
>monster stealth isn't fair to stupid players, take it out of the game!
Ho-lee fuck.

So what, are you just supposed to haul ass constantly since the hunters know your rough location at all times now?
>>
>>344499514
Yes. Take speed or Traversal perks, be sanic. Bait them into doming you once you're ready to evolve to stage 2. Down a hunter then haul ass and evolve while the dome is on cooldown. Eat to full armor then fuck them up in stage 2, or repeat and go to stage 3.

Lennox will fuck you up if you're Goliath though.

So with orbital tracker/smaller maps is there any reason to use monster stealth?

Got 3 movement speed boosts and I'm on a 10 game win streak, the only time I lost was when I tried to be stealthy

Seems the hunters can't catch me as long as I'm not obvious about my path

Use feeding speed perks over movement, you already have enough movement on MG
>>
>tfw on a winning streak and afraid to play again

I bought a key for $10 and now I have all these characters I want to try

Behemoth seems kinda shit, he's cool that he can get around so fast but in combat he's not mobile at all so you can't dodge gunfire well
>>
Bought Wraith and Gorgon, they're both really fun. Is Behemoth worth getting, or should I start saving for hunters and perks?
>>
>>344502484
there's only so many times I can jetpack dodge away from it when i'm locked in the arena. once i'm out i'm nothing more than a punching bag, and once i'm down he can just graze through the rest of the team like nothing.
>>
>>344502965
How is eating speed better?

To be clear I am having no trouble as monster, I've only ever lost once
>>
>>344503119
It gives you a faster feeding route overall than movement speed would and lets you recover armor faster from feeding if you do get rekt.

Because retards like >>344498023 amd >>344500181 spread misinfo about how the game had a ton of day 1 DLC when it didn't.

The only DLC it had day 1 were skins and unlock shortcuts. The shit people assume was day 1 DLC was just options to prepurchase shit that hadn't come out yet.

>>344504582
G2A is showing the cheapest keys at over $10. I'm not really sure this game is worth that much.

Maybe it's more fun in short burst rounds (like Overwatch) but it's not nearly as satisfying as a 20 minute match of yelling to each of your team members that you think you might have found the monster in the other side of the map but actually he was behind you in a bush...

She's okay. The only good thing about her is the whip but that's strong enough to make the monster want to come after you. Leap is alright and the autocannon is pretty bad
She's not too good against a wraith though. Clones make it too hard to keep a multiplier or get its attention

I want to learn this game

What is the basic game plan for the monster? Run around eating stuff, if they trap you, you fight until the dome wears off, eat a little more, get stage 3, then what? you go for the relay but you just hit it and ignore the hunters or you kill them first?
>>
>>344497551

>>
>>344512142
Pick Hydra
Stick Banshee Mines at the spawn point
Jump the hunters right away
Win
>>
>>344512142
Just pick the blue flame goliath monster, wait for them to come down and just spam your skills until they're dead. Works everytime
>>
>>344512223
Felt that way. I am whipping the piss out of monsters now unless they are directly attacking me. Which is the godamn point. No one seems to be able to slow them down and monsters know to go after the supports and medics while the Assaults try to play catch up with little real CC. At least with her I am chunking damage if they are oblivious.

Evolve failed harder but wasn't necessarily cucked. It was just awful and nobody wanted to play it. Battleborn was totally cucked by Overwatch.

Evolve asked a girl out and was laughed at because he was 5 feet tall, roughly spherical, and smelled faintly of cum.

Battleborn asked a girl out, went on dates with her, moved in with her, and then one night came home from work early to find Overwatch balls deep in her.

Webslinging is objectively worse than Goliath leap. I tried sticking to walls. It just didn't work, anywhere high enough to be out of line of sight just wasn't stickable. Maybe it was just the map, but it's a real pain.

Shorter range Goliath Fire breathe.

Maybe I'm just using Goliath wrong, but I find that Gorgon has a WAY easier time of getting around the maps quickly.

With Goliath, I feel like I'm constantly struggling to stay just one step ahead of the hunters. With Gorgon, I'm comfortably ahead of them at all times.
>>
>>344522026
does he get a damage bonus if you detach and hit someone before you land?
>>
>>344522409
Try focusing on increased feeding speed. The less time you spend eating, the more time you spend moving.
>>
>>344522409
Yeah, you're using the wrong perks. For Goliath, get the +Feeding Speed + Movement speed, then get the silver version of that perk, then get the Gold +15% movement speed perk. It totals to around 160% movement speed and +120% feeding speed, and this benefits your Leap, since Leap is based on momentum. You just RUN, no stealth, just be sanic.

>>344523295
the Gold ones you have to buy. The +15% movement speed one is 3400 keys so it's pretty hefty. Worth it if you're comitted to playing Goliath though.

Yes but not as much as the Goliath. Gorgon traverses fast enough by default, Kraken is better of with +traverse regen so it can fly longer, Wraith teleports so movement speed is pointless. Goliath is the one that benefits the most from it since by default it's only slightly faster than the Hunters, and it's far too big to hide.

I think I played my first match without ever pressing 4 because I thought it was a different skill, the last time I played was in the beta

Well considering it costs a grand total of $0 to play, at minimum it should sustain several thousand players regularly due to its f2p nature.

Like the peak playerbase now is nearly double that of what it was as a full retail launch title back in February.
>>
>>344482959

the funny part isnt that they went f2p, its that they took so long. like they held out hope for that long. lol its kinda tragic actually
>>
>>344526068
Kinda like how Valve did it with TF2. It was pretty pathetic of them to wait almost 3 years lol
>>
>>344525901
they need to make at least 2 hunters from each category playable for free, introduce proper tutorials & skill/character info, increase the amount of keys gained per match and nerf wraith.
that should definitely help the player retention.
>>
So whats up with the monster that is free now. I've yet to lose a match as the monster. How can you die as him, even at lvl1?
Got the movement speed perks, 2 charge, 1 fire and 1 leap as skills.
>>
>>344526219
You have to completely ignore the medic and do nothing but fight them to lose as the monsters.

I don't see how it's even possible for ANY of the monsters excluding Behemoth to lose.
>>
>>344487027
The support is meant to shield you
>>
>>344526219
>>344526342
monsters are heavily favored right now because they are independent killing machines whereas f2p retard hunters need to coordinate and cooperate to succeed.
>>
>>344526132

except different because valve took an already successful game and turned it into a money printing machine while also improving and expanding the community. the game is still regularly updated and profitable almost ten years after release despite having been completey free to play for 5 of those years
>>
>>344484004
I don't get why people who bought it are mad. They'd rather have a game slowly dwindling away with about 100 daily players?
>>
>>344526425
Nah it isn't even that. Everyone being able to dome means that you can just gun right for the Medic instead of weighing your options in a confrontation and choosing to opt for the Trapper, who would originally put down the dome prior, instead. Mix that with how the dome only stays up for like a minute at that, and the armor regeneration being obscene, and really at the moment monsters have no real negatives.

Like look at the webm here >>344525529 of how the game was prior. He's not getting any armor back from idling. I think a change like that should be implemented first and foremost, so at the very least the monster has to stop and make effort to regain some armor while zooming across the map.
>>
>>344526439
I thought you said the funny part was how long it took. You didn't mention anything else.

And TF2 took years longer.
>>
>>344526684

its funny because evolve has been dead on its feet since about a month after launch, they should have done this ages ago, but obviously, tragically didnt want to admit their game was a total commericial failure.

thats why its funny

You're playing against uncoordinated pub hunters who are too autistic to use the in-game voice chat to communicate. Once you get to account level 20 and unlock Ranked you'll be singing an entirely different tune.

It's actually impossible to lose once you hit L2 on the monster, regardless of what monster you are. Your constant damage and burst you can put on the medic as soon as they engage is ridiculous, and even beforehand at L1 the worst they can do is MAYBE knock off 2 bars of life, as the dome generously goes down, and your armor generously starts regenerating.

Playing monster right now has 0 downsides.

Nice counter-retort disproving any of my points, shitter.

Doesn't change the fact that, for example, Goliath's Leap Smash and Rock Throw do over 1k damage at max rank, and mix with a Fire Breath finisher, can instantly down any class with no effort. Maybe you should actually play the game instead of shitposting.

It got nerfed heavily but it's still okay. It's great to escape from monsters who won't get off your dick or your support's dick as it limits their smell range. Before it outright prevented them from smelling. Regardless, unless you are right up next to it, the monster won't be able to tell which class is which or get outlines.

It's so easy a fucking infant can do it, especially since you can change trajectory on the fly as you aim the rock. So yeah it is over 1k damage.

No, its max damage is 730 actually. This is 70 more damage than Lennox does with her basic attacks.

Weird that the 100+ games combined on both PS4 and PC, and not a single pub or premade could figure that one out.

It's almost like you can auto-aim the rock up close, and the impact size of the leap is so huge you can't simply jetpack out of it, similar to Kraken's aftershock or Wraith's supernova.

Nah, this game is actually flawless. Whatever helps you justify your $60 purchase there, buddy.

Sadly, Caira is the F2P medic right now. And most people move closer to the monster, not knowing how big the AoE of her healing grenades are.

It's a sign of desperation and it never works. Games lose their players for a reason and injecting more doesn't really help. You need to have certain kinds of features to maintain a healthy community or you begin to hemorrhage users. Adding more players won't fix the leak.

They're trying to bring in players so they can make more money. That means the game is either wildly successful and can be milked further or it's not making any money at all. You don't need much information to predict what happened to Evolve.

If your team brings down a major creature like a Mega Mouth or whatever, use the Lazarus device on it. I promise, it'll be good.

fuck that guy. maggie, griffin, and jack are all pretty good trappers. mostly maggie though as you can set up an area to fight in where the monster has to deal with your annoying ass. just make sure to constantly have 3 up.

How do you figure that?

>>344482959

I told you guys, they would end up making this game free to play when the sales is abysmal!

I was right from the very start but no one believed me.

You can go F2P without resetting the progress of your existing playerbase.

But it takes a bit of effort, and they clearly want to spend the bare minimum.

You take a shitload more damage at stage 3 because you're an easier target, and you don't gain enough health to be really worth it. Stage 3 is better than a stage 2 with <50% HP obviously, but if you're at stage 2, with a good amount of HP left, you're better off just ambushing the Hunters rather than running and trying to evolve further.

The only way the monster wins is if it killed all of you or it destroys the highly defendable part of the map. Sounds like you are a shitter
>>
This game is like a Sci-Fi Monster Hunter except the monster is also player controlled.

>ur a shitter

Oh okay. I'm so offended that you would suggest I'm bad at this game I played two rounds of. *rolls eyes*

Point is that the game is fucking boring. It wouldn't be much more fun if my team won as long as the game is just walking in circles waiting for the force field to reset.

>>344482959
Game is boring as fuck.
No wonder it died.
You basically run in circles for 20 minutes each match.
>>
>>344543371
The point, shiposter-san, is that if your dumb greentext story was true, you would have won. You failed to mention the part where he steamrolled your team or destroyed the power relay. The monster does not win without some kind of combat

>>344543371
>played two rounds of
ah, ok

>>344543543
I'm sure an Evolve expert like yourself would see something in the game that I didn't. The point is that to me as a new player it's crippling boring and unrewarding. Both rounds we just walk after the monster, fought it until it was able to leave and repeat. Eventually yes we lost in some fight usually because one guy was caught out a little too early.
>>
>>344543723
so it's bad because you lost? Once again, you sound like a shitter
>>
>>344543809
It's bad because it was boring. Like I said it wouldn't have been much more fun if instead we died the monster died - I still would have wasted 10 minutes walking in circles just hoping something would happen. The game's problem is how much time you spend walking around like a chump just waiting for the good parts. And on top of that the "good parts", the fights, aren't even fun. Weightless weapons, nothing has any impact, floating around like an idiot. Snore.

Next you'll tell me, after again calling me a shitter I'm sure, that it gets better when I get better. But why would I want to play fucking Evolve on that promise when I could instead be playing something that's fun now?

The main mode of the game is called fucking Hunt. Now there is no skilled involved in actually hunting the monster.

>>344517362
It adds HP at a flat value, doesn't give any back.

Pay 5€ get nearly all characters lots of skin and some advantages + great emblems.

Like I'm gonna support this fucking shitgame with buying ingame currency.

I jumped into the game with high hopes, but it turned out to be annoyingly boring

It's only worth it if you have friends to play with.

So no, it's not worth it for 99% of /v/.

>and it never works
It pretty much always works though, that's the thing. Even way back in the days where the only F2P games were Korean MMOs, D&D Online going F2P completely saved it. Do you think TF2 would be perpetually the 3rd most played game on Steam without F2P? Read up instead of talking a bunch of bullshit.

>>344546365
Well, hunting is more than just tracking. It's also pursuit, trapping, and killing. All three of which are still fulfilled. Though I miss the times when Planet Scan wasn't a thing.
