EVERYTHING is OP edition

>What is Evolve (stage 2)?
Evolve uses an asymmetrical structure where five players, four playing as hunters and one as the monster, battle against each other in an industrialized alien planet called Shear.
Stage 2 is the transition to Free To Play + a lot of gameplay changes.

>I heard the game was dead?
It was (at least on PC). 100-200 players and little to no updates from the developers. If F2P can bring it back is unknown, but as of right now 18k people are playing it.

>Should I "get" it?
It's free. 18GB. Download and test it out.

>F2P Model?
Copy paste:

Every week, four hunters (one of each class) and one monster will be in the free rotation. There are currently 24 Hunters and 7 Monsters in total, though some are variations of others. By playing the character tutorials, you unlock one hunter (Markov) and one monster (The Goliath) to keep forever.

Additional monsters, hunters, perks, and skins are unlocked by earning silver keys. Silver keys are earned by playing the game, leveling up, or getting login bonuses. Currently you can't actually buy silver keys, presumably so they can test the unlock rate, but that's coming later.

There is also a monthly login bonus punch card. You get one punch for each day you log in. Beyond silver keys, this can directly award new Hunters and Skins.

>Microtransation?
None as of yet.

WHY ARE ALL THE MONSTERS SO OP???
>>
>>148021110
hard to say being jews destroyed their game the first time.who knows if they've learned.
>>
>>148021110
Currently there are characters that cost 9500 silver.
You make 20-100 silver per game without level up/achievement bonuses, and that's during double silver weekend.

Take a wild guess.
>>
I'm pretty sure the original Doom had more multiplayer game modes on launch than this game does.
>>
>>148021125
I guess it would be better giving a "tree" progression system
You start with one tier 1 assault, that at level ten lets you choose one tier 2 assault, at level 20 another t2, and t2 at level 10 let you choose one t3 character.
But this would render keys almost useless
>>
>>148021281
It's almost like Doom was a piece of garbage and it's multiplayer modes consisted of 20 lines of code.

>>148021282
Buying characters is fine, the perks are fucked though.

You either don't buy them and get them by leveling characters, which means you are weak until you unlock them, or you buy them wasting silver because you would have got them them for free eventually.

Honestly buying bronze or silver perks is a massive waste of currency, gold take so long to unlock that it might be worth it to buy them.
>>
>>148021474
So... how do you plan strats and stuff with teammates or prepare for enemy perks?
>>
>>148021493
>or you buy them wasting silver because you would have got them them for free eventually.

Each perk has 3 levels. If you get a perk on level up after you buy it, the perk is levelled up automatically. You should definitely buy certain perks early. Like the Feeding and movement speed Silver Monster perk.
>>
>>148021493
it is fine, but evolve always lacked a real progression system, because it has 1 progression system for every character
the progression system is what keeps peeps playing
>>
>>148021598
You can get all 3 levels by leveling characters though.

The silver you get for reaching a character level that unlocks a perk you already have is fucking miniscule to.
Buy a perk for 3k and you get 300 back after you reach a level where you would unlock it.
>>
>>148021734
>the progression system is what keeps peeps playing
Unfortunately.
>>
>>148021772
Progression is just one of those reward feedbacks that you cant fight against
It makes everything feel meaningful

You can't evolve isn't a game where you strategize its a team death match .

How the fuck does reload work in this game.
It feels like every weapon gets instantly reloaded by switching to it.
>>
>>148021976
Weapons reload even if you don't have them in your hand
The game wants you to be constantly using all of your kit
>>
>>148021754
if you get the right perks you can outscale people the same level as you really quickly.
>>
>>148021903
Bucket's strength isn't really his damage, even though it's a bonus, but his mechanized cooldown. Double shield and heal burst for team is pretty fucking good.
>>
>>148021772
it's psychology
normo peeps must have something to aim for
watch the other "big" f2p
Warframe, k?
It has a lot of small progression system, that go and give you rewards periodically.
So each day you take endgame keys, that give you experience and reputation. With that reputation you gain exp or new weapons, or better versions of weapons. Weapons, side arms, and characters all level up. Companions level up, and all goes to both your general account and a sort of super power you can use every 180 seconds, but only if you finish the story quests.

Let's go to planetside 2
Planetside lacks class progression, because a lot of weapons are shared, and nothing tells you that you're a good medic or a good engineer or a good sniper or a good tank driver. But there are a lot of smaller "ribbons" that will be given every 10 kills.

Do you know how most F2P make people play? By placing a big bright unmovable experience bar just below your eyesight.

Should I bother shooting the smg at all or switch back to harpoon immediately as griffin?

Why is Elder Kraken so good?
My first 2 games and I stage 1 wiped both off them
I didn't even know what my buttons did in the first game.

It won't work after Level 20.
Level 11 is just really stupid pubs.

Hit her from the back when she charges warp blast. It stops her dead and makes it miss which saves your team a ton of HP
>>
I just played against a Wraith that was so bad that it couldnt damage pretty much anyone in the team as we took 2 bars of health in the first level 1 dome and as she retreated we all went towards her and ot downed in a fucking insane flurry of combos
I dont like blogpost but we just got fucking outplayed to the max
>>
guys don't waste your keys literally only buying perks that increase feed speed.

and hunters only use perks with jet packs or use sunny.

The game is stupid when you have over 100% feed speed or jet pack shit. the other guy cant compete.

Hey did I just play you?

>>148023992
no no, use crow's other gun

I'm assuming that by doing all this work to make the game F2P that the devs are going to continue supporting it. Is it likely that they will release new monsters and hunters in the future?
>>
Is anyone playing together in here?
>>
>>148024283
Shit, this explains those games where the monster gets to level 2 within a minute of the hunters dropping.

>>148024498
For a fee, and before the others ones are balanced or bugs are fixed. :)
>>
>>148024498
new skins maybe.
They said a long time ago the reason everything was dlc was because everything was so hard to make and cost loads ov mone.
I just can't see them doing it for free.
>>
>>148024570
had a M Goliath do it to me before i figured it out. he had some crazy long win streak.
The only way he could of evolved so fast is if he literally was just speed eating his name was benoff something.
>>
>>148024680
I'm glad the developers are intentionally facilitating such unbalanced gameplay.

I never thought winning would get boring, but here I am.
>>
>>148025323
We're in the same boat, 100% win ratio with Wraith.
>>
>>148024834
They are FORCING it. It's the only thing the monster can do to win. Run and eat as fast as possible before the hunters reach it. Evolve is no longer a hunting game, it's an arena deathmatch.
>>
>>148025323
What's your starting build?
>>
>>148025150
Look at the recommended requirements

If you have a mid range PC you can probably run it on medium 60 fps.

>>148025420
2 in Warp Blast for the cooldown reduction and increased radius since it's pretty good at taking down wildlife, and 1 in Decoy and 1 in Supernova just in case I get domed at Stage 1.

I wish we had some mined ingame stats from all the chars
>>
>>148024834
its not fun to grind for perks that do nothing
>>
>>148025323
I remember there was a time where casuals got a chance to play against a "pro" monster player, and if they beat him they'd win some prize money.

Monster stomped all teams. Then some interviewer asked if he had fun
>It was boring

Weren't there more maps before? Did they take some of the maps out or something?

How long until retards either leave or learn how to play the game?
I'm tired of trappers that can't even press 4
I'm sick of healers trying to be dps full time
I think I actually might just drop the game for a month or so, this game is just frustrating, not fun right now because of these shitters.
>>
Is it me or is the game still super buggy, I get stuck in "waiting for players" when the match should supposedly begin.

It also indefinitely waits for a party to start even though it's already matched 5 people, what the fuck.
>>
>First match as Hank
>vs Elder Kraken
>Kill him at Stage 2 3 minutes in
>7300 Shields transferred
>Get 32 fucking keys for it

What?
>>
What the hell is with the matchmaking? Why does it sometimes never find a game? Why will is start a 2v1 game? Why will it start a 4v0 game? Why does it immediately put you in a new queue after the game is over?
>>
>>148025823
>How long until retards either leave or learn how to play the game?

>retards either leaving or gitting gud in a F2P game
Never.
>>
>>148025823
As a monster I am enjoying the only period I'll be able to win, then I'll drop the game because hunters have been overbuffed way more than monsters and you can't hide now.
>>
>>148024834
The monster really has no choice but to try and evolve asap. anything that doesn't help him do this is a waste.
I let people fuck me up in the dome just to get out faster, I'll down their medic and then leave.

If you do research, Evolve said since this is still pretty much in beta, they are seeing how things go.

That means we will get Evac, Rescue, Arena, Defend, and Nest later down the line.

Yeah I invest 2 in both jump and charge in stage 1 and alternate between mandatory Hank and Caira (best picks) ,then I make a break for it since I have two hungers and gold leap regen.

I was pretty disappointed to see they turned trapper into just another support. Why the hell did they take the dome away from them?
Trying to catch the monster in the dome was fun and felt more skillful then this auto-cage that anyone can use
And global scan seems silly, it makes it impossible to play stealthily and sneak around hunters.
Wasn't the point of trappers to use their unique abilities to track the monster? Not give everyone the same ability that auto-finds it for you and tells the whole team where it is for you.
Yes, I am a little upset

How the fuck do you play hank? Mortars take half a year to land, good luck hitting a wraith with that, and when the shield is spent I feel like decoration.

Dear anyone who wants to play a monster who isn't Kraken or wraith or who enjoys meme people at stage one.

look at these icons these icons are you're friends, buy them.
>>
>>148026291
I am upset too anon. I used to have to adapt to avoid specific trappers, I used to have fun trying to hide from them and avoiding elite wildlife because I was weak stage 1. Now I just run away as fast as I can leaving tracks because it doesn't matter, they'll just find me quickly and trap me easily. And since monsters have had to be buffed to compensate if the hunters are incompetent I win 100% of the time, if they are competent I lose 100% of the time. That's it.
I haven't reached stage 3 in 20 games. I barely even bother with stage 2 unless I'm playing kraken.
>>
>guy sees I'm playing kraken before the match
>tells me "kys faggot"
>I defeat the medic very easy,then what seems like all of them
>I turn my back 5seconds and they ALL FUCKING REVIVED

WHAT THE FUCK
>>
>>148026709
"Dying doesn't matter much" is one of the pillars of what you need to appeal to the casual audience anon. Don't be surprised.
>>
>>148026549
I can understand that.
I just wish they found another way of doing it rather than just turning every class into a trapper, and the trapper into CC support
It feels like all the classes are kinda the same in a way now. They're much less unique

I'm also kinda upset about there being 7(?) different monsters in the game now, but every game is just wraith after wraith. Sometimes I see a meteor.
That might just be a product of wraith being a noob stomper so it's being picked a lot because there's so many bad players right now.
>>
>>148026845

what surprised me is that even when I smelled them, they didn't appear fucking anywhere in Dome
>>
>>148026898
Oh man I forgot you could use smell, it's so useless now since the hunters are just always chasing you and you can't look for wildlife, you have to pick what's on your escape route.
Just like sneaking, the only use now is to pounce a lone/last hunter.

The respawn timer is just really fast now anon. Reviving a teammate also takes no time at all so if you left one of them standing you're fucked.

>>148025862
I dont know how its calculated
its bullshit sometimes
I think its more when you fight longer, even though one might think super effective hunter who down a monster in 3min should get a bonus
>>
>>148026608
Climb speed - shit the maps rarely offer any decent climbing spots atm.
Traversal Regen - good lets you be like sanic
Damage reduction - shit the dome is going to stay up until they hurt you or you hurt them
Smell range - shit you cant hide from anyone and are constantly running.
Pounce damage - shit stealth is pointless monsters hp got debuff pounce animation takes to long pouncing the last hunter is fine though
>Feed speed - THE BEST MUST HAVE
movement speed- alright not as good as traversal Regen.
Armour regen - shit they give you free Armour regen maybe you can meme stack it on behemoth. but it's still rather shit.

Perks were a mistake.
>>
Now somebody please tell me, what the fuck im supposed to do if the trapper gets focused, my shield cant keep up with the dakka and the medic is healing as much as he can
>>
Wait. So at the end of the game if you click CONTINUE then it leaves the game and enters a new queue?

And if you don't do anything it starts a vote for a rematch which it doesn't tell you about except in the squares on the bottom right corner, and doesn't tell you which key it is to vote for a rematch?

Wait. What?
>>
is it possible the reason kraken and wraith are doing so well, is because they can handle air borne targets better than other monsters can?

Even if there isn't a kraken waiting to meme on you, its just inefficient not to. You can see which way the monster went, there's no reason not to start your momentum in that direction before you hit the ground.
>>
I like the game but it really wasn't necessary to remove so much from the Hunt

Bushes are gone
Fauna is gone
Predators are gone
Luring into a map trap like a megamouth is gone since every fauna is super nerfed and gets killed by everything
Hyde's nicest flamethrower particle, which i dare say was the best visual effect in the game is gone
Idle animations for the characters are gone
Complete maps and gamemodes are gone
Stealth, by incidence, is gone too

It's enjoyable but lacks the meta game that was going for before. It just needed tweaking and some refining, not a makeover.

I agree, but maybe they add OG mode back in as "Stalk" or something.

I've kinda noticed the way it's completely impossible to hide from the hunters now that they have a map point towards you at all times and every one of them can throw down the dome.

Well if you're playing Abe, don't forget to use the tracking darts on wildlife. If the monster eat them, it'll track the monster.

I remember when I got it at 60% discount that it had these guides to lure and trick the Hunters in clever ways in the maps. Also some guides to predict where the Monster player would go and what to do to catch it off guard. As a monster, you surely completely needed to be on the run because the armor and health were minuscule at Stage 1 and 2 merely gave you an edge. You had to play smart to pick them out and buy time to eat.

Damage Amplifier + not a shit assault player is the only thing that can instigate fear on a Monster right now.

Monsters take too much damage right now, I remember it wasn't like this.

Stage 1 the monster was the prey
Stage 2 it was even
Stage 3 was Kaiju time

Right now it doesn't really matter for the monster. Maybe it's the fact that there aren't good hunter team players still.

Armor regen is so high right now

I feel dirty playing monster. If you kill a single Hunter, which you will, You can either keep picking them all out or run and feed freely.

Before it wasn't even a good idea to stick nearby any Hunter. They shredded your armor and health pretty easily.

That's why you have the CTRL Sneak and pounce abilities. I haven't seen ANY monster use them right now, since you can just machete and tentacle rape anyone and any fauna on Shear.

Hunters are painfully slow in this game. You run slow, run out of fuel after a few dash and cliff climbing is the most excruciating thing I have ever seen. It seriously feels like a chore to follow the footprint because you constantly have to wait for your jetpack to recharge.
Then the dev, in their infinite wisdom, decided to add shit like casual dome and planet scanner (and buffed stage 1 monster to compensate, which caused even more balance problems) . Now even playing as monster is boring because you can no longer outwit hunters with stealth.

Wraith is easy to deal with you just need a tracker that knows to CC when it goes full blender, and support and healer need to know to run and just stay alive. Decoy may be a little strong right now but it's easy to tell when it is one.
Kraken on the other hand is really strong and everyone is still trying to figure out how to deal with him. Trackers are mostly useless cause there is no point in trying to cc him since he attacks from range, and you have to save jetpack charges so you can jump from both lighting strike and bubble of death.

Bought it because the design seemed fun but so far goliath and meteor goliath are much better, i can focus medic/support as them easily but as gorgon i just can't outdamage the heals and shields.

Jack is good his cc requires weird positioning that you just need to play him to understand.

Jet packs for muh meme tier speed

CC Large damage abilities like golly combo, wraith blender, or kraken ball of death. Learn maps know where to cut off and good areas for you to fight. And remember keep your medic and support alive let your assault worry about dealing damage.

So let me see if I have the vague as fuck fluff of this game straight:

The colony gets monsters out of nowhere.

But the monsters always go for shit that runs on energy acquired via machinery that runs on energy derived from Patterson Equations.

Monsters have Patterson Equations written directly into their genetics, but the means by which they reproduce are unknown and the eggs they hatch from have no perceivable gestation period.

So, from this one can deduce that Monsters are some form of extradimensional entities that manifest themselves in our universe via some means similar to or identical to energy derived from Patterson Equations.

Ergo, by attempting to escape the planet the Hunters are probably just going to "lead" the monsters somewhere else by using the same technology that brought the monsters into existence.

Hey Rucks

Hello. Got the game today and I'm currently playing the default healer and loving it. I have a question about the perks, in each tree there is a perk which reduces reload speed. Do these stack or can I only use one? Secondly should I buy perks for the default healer or save and buy a new character? Are some overall better than others?

Just started playing today and I've only had one good game in a dozen so far playing as a monster. They've all been stomps that ended in a few minutes where I killed the hunters at level 1 or immediately after getting level 2.

Is meteor goliath just, like, 10x better than normal goliath or something? I know the people I'm playing against couldn't've played much of the game either, but this really doesn't seem fair so far. How long do you have to play until it's an even matchup where the monster doesn't just win every game?

Seems like a pretty crappy new player experience, where hunters have to get really good in order to compete and for you to have a proper game. If it's just one-sided until 20 hours into the game or something like that then that's really silly.

Blitz is outright better with the capacity perk as long as you're not shit, and his mines do almost three times as much as regular mines once they charge. Regular's still really good though since he's just a solid pick that's impossible to fuck up.
Hyde's alright, Parnell's been gutted, which really sucks because he used to be my favorite assault. Now I'm all about punch grandma.
