>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.

1st for nerf crying instead of learning how to play
If your medic is a prime retard and doesn't know how to dodge whatsoever, you're basically fucking boned right? Shields can only do so fucking much.
Opinion: Hunters are overpowered
Fact: Monsters are overpowered
Learn the difference

>DDs
I don't know who the fuck that is
>Laz/Cabot
That's the most retarded setup I've ever fucking heard, even back when Cabot did a billion damage a shot. You've got literally no defensive capacity.
Lazarus was NEVER COMPETITIVELY VIABLE. Not before launch, not after launch, and certainly not now after the changes to assault.
How do I git gud with Kala? What are some viable uses for her teleporter? It feels like I never have time to set one up because the monster breaks one part of it.
Is Elder Kraken the most retarded monster to play?
Spam abilities, kill the whole hunter party
>>148149935
>How do I git gud with Kala
You pick a better support. Tier 5 hunters are garbage.
>What are some uses for her teleporter
There are literally two, and one is impossible against a good monster because he'll instantly kill your portal
1) Set up on opposite ends of the map to quickly chase the monster
2) Set up one outside a dome then one inside so teammates can escape

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE etc.
>>148149935
You just pretend you never bought her and play a real support instead of fucking up your team even more.
What do you do once you get caught as Goliath? I can never get away as Goliath and evolving only makes him slower.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO ABOUT WRAITHS GOD DAMN FUCKER RAPED OUR SHIT IN.
>>148150072
>lennox
>garbage
>>148149935
ignore your teleporter, none of your teammates are gonna be smart enough to use them
use armor drain whenever the assault is next to the monster
Spam your mine things constantly whenever you aren't using armor drain
Val's medigun somehow feels really weak compares to Caira's.
>>148150270
Lennox is great at close range but has nothing at medium to long range and that's where almost all fights are.
Right now Blitz Markov is far and away the strongest assault.
>game is hunter favor
>but not in the tip top comp scene that's monsters he he
which one is it
>>148150265
>mfw i cant even win with wraith
>>148150572
Pub = Monster favored
Comp = Monster favored
Get it right.
>>148150316
That's because it is. Caira's launcher has higher healing potential because it takes a modicum of aim and can't hit airborne targets easily.
>>148150572
Like anon said before
Bad monster beats bad hunters
Mediocre hunters beats mediocre monster
Pro monster beats pro hunters
Is Crow's shitty fucking pulse gun meant to actually slow the monster? Because it doesn't fucking work.
>>148151061
Charge it bro.
>>148150316
>>148150960
The wiki says otherwise, saying that Val's medigun heals 110 HP per second and Caira's heals 125 per round(I know this is true at least)
Wish there was a spreadsheet of all this.
>>148150960
So how do you fix that?
>it's a tech sgt hank thinks his shield gun works like regular hank's shield gun episode
>>148151096
I do that but he's still jumping around like a damn monkey, it's not like I'm missing either because I see the particle effect on him.
Monster player here. Why does everyone hate Kala as support? That armor drain is terrifying, especially as a low health monster.
>>148151340
So he only uses it while you guys are getting fukt instead of spamming that shit throughout the match?
>>148151262
AFAIK Val's medgun does heal a single target slightly faster but also takes a lot longer to recharge than Caira does to reload, making her total heal capacity less than Caira's.
Caira's also can hit multiple targets at once and can hit herself.
In case you wondered what the face of utter defeat looks like.
>>148151446
Yes, and no matter how many times I told him he just wouldn't shield us prior to engaging.
>just barely won a game of behemoth with half of my last bar of health

>winning a match by the skin of your teeth headshotting a charging stage 3 goliath as last man standing Cabot
I like Cabot but I feel so fucking ineffective compared to Hank/Sunny.
>>148153101
Can the lightning gun hit weakspots?
>>148153358
No, neither can hydes flamethrower
>>148152490
Well then, which hunter perks should I pursue first?
>>148153514
Jetpack Fuel Recharge is best for most hunters.
When are they implementing seeing all level rewards so you know who is worth leveling?
>>148151491
>can hit herself.
She can?
>>148153770
they aren't.
>>148153876
Yes, which is half of what makes Caira so amazing.
The medic and support are the primary targets for the monster, and the medic is the easier to down of the two. That means a medic that can sustain itself is infinitely more valuable than one that can only sustain others.
Caira can heal herself with her grenades, heal herself with heal burst, and can escape a monster with speed boost.
>medic is salty and calls me bad because i turned on him and killed him instantly after he tranqed me and i saw he was totally split from his team
>wipe his team at stage 1 and taunt him a bit in chat and he calls me a shitlord

>Try crow for the first time
holy shit, if you have any kind of idea of predictive movement this feels like goddamn cheating.
Why didn't this game start out with Crow and Gorgon?
there is absolutely zero way to stop a monster from focusing the medic down
there's no reliable way to peel or disengage and it's fucking awful
>>148153101
>Be Cabot
>we have a hyde
>I damage amp the monster, a Goliath

>a stage two is dead in a matter of seconds.
Goddamn I love Cabot.
>>148154493
>here is absolutely zero way to stop a monster
just kill it lmao
>>148154493
Dodge until you run out of fuel then beg the support to shield you while you wait for recharge
>>148154402
I love the idea of crow but really need a good team that follows you to get things done with him.
There's so many times that I've found the monster by being constantly on the move and spamming his bird just to see that my team mates are jacking off somewhere. Really frustrating.
Okay so how do you counter a Kraken that is flying 24/7 when you have a Hyde?
>>148153514
To add to the Jetpack Fuel Recharge suggestion anon made(which is really solid), I'd say that gunning for Reload Speed or Ammo Capacity.
Example: If you're Hank Reload Speed will charge your gun, your bombs and your shield faster and Ammo Capacity can increase how much you can gun and how much you can shield. Caira benefits from Capacity too but you'll have to a bit of math to see how many perk upgrades you'll need to get an extra grenade.
>>148154493
>there is absolutely zero way to stop a monster from focusing the medic down
Shield the medic and/or pour tons of damage onto the monster.
Either it will kill your medic while your team takes it down in health, or it will try to run. Either way you've done a good job on it.
Does hanks drill or orbital bombardment hurt players? I can never remember.
>>148154751
What you said applies to any trapper though.
>>148154751
My team was pretty on point, even if we had three downs during it. I've generally found that using the sat ping to find the monsters general direction, then sending Gobi to what I think is the most likely flank. I follow along Gobi's path in case he misses anything, while the rest head off after the red tick.
>>148154797
>>148153621
Cheers.
how much hp is one monster bar? 500?
>>148155018
Some of the perks you unlock past like level 11 of a character aren't shown(for some reason) so you might want to google/ask people about that.
>>148155018
In case you're curious so far I found the Jetpack Recharge Rate perk for level 13 Markov + Blitz Markov (silver) and Sunny level 28 (gold)
>>148149784
>>148150126
Nigger the wraith is the fucking crutch monster, what it lacks in actual abilities it "makes up for" with flashy special effects that will dazzle and amaze level 8 shitters who see it and go "OH MUH GOD WHAT'S GOIN ON" but then after ten matches they realize "Oh, it's a lightshow" and shoot the monster because it has nothing else going for it.
>>148155018
Damage perks are a must have on assault as well
>>148154493
AHAHAHA JUST RUN AWAY MAN JUST LIKE JET PACK AHAHAHAH

>>148154820
>Does hanks drill or orbital bombardment hurt players?
Doesn't actually hurt them but it will push/throw them around if they're caught up in the blast which can be bad if it's in the middle of a firefight.
>>148155438
Except for Blitz Markov - ammo cap is best there for a longer max charged beam.
>>148154493
For the Medic ? Not much. "Top tier players" keep memeing about just dodging everything coming your way but realistically you're going to dodge three attacks maximum before you're left with metal scrap on your back
Once that's done, try to have a Support to shield you, once the shield is dead he should pulse it (if it's Hank, if not he already did). Then pulse your own Medic beam
POUR SOME FUCKING DAMAGE TOO WHILE YOU ARE AT IT. Val's Sniper Rifle is nothing to laugh at, it can do much more damage than your Trapper's average dried bean shooter (exception Crow, bypasses monster armor when charged)
If you get downed, literally do nothing but spam the healing pulse, since it helps you last longer. Also use your fucking pistol because the damage can add up quickly if the monster is camping you
If you die you'll dropship back in in 10 seconds (estimating he didn't Flee Till 2), with full health (minus strike) and all your abilities recharged. From here, he should have fled. If he hasn't, he's a free kill, just make sure he doesn't get another strike in
>>148155549
can you even push downed characters?
I was just thinking I could drop an oribital lazer/bomb on a monster sticking to a downed character.
I actually got one on a goliath earlier today that, for some reason, decided to try and hide while in the dome. Stupid bugger.
>>148155501
>I won a bunch of matches after the game went f2p monster is obviously OP
>>148149642
Could have been worse. I had a trapper who refused to move without having the planet scanner guide him. Whenever it was on cooldown, he will stand still and wait
>>148155782
>can you even push downed characters?
As far as I can tell no you can't, which is why I do that too, it actually works pretty well. Problem is most monsters are smart and typically go for the Support/Medic before anyone else so you have to hope they forget about you.

Sunny is amazing. Her shield drone actually has enough power to shield, het jetpack boost is incredible for helping a focused person escape, and her primary does good damage. If you run item switch speed and t3 class cooldown on her she's hard as fuck to down.
>>148158285
Sunny is good, Shield drone a cute, Jet pack boost a crutch her and hank are the best.
Kala is a meme but her Armour drain is seriously good.
>>148158356

You want to know what I'm looking forward too?
Leveling up high enough to a point where people want a meta and say don't pick Laz he's bad, and I'll just reply but he's the only medic I own.

I literally can't win as the monster
No matter what monster I play I simply can't win
I genuinely don't understand what I'm doing wrong
I try to focus the medic, they get a billion fucking shields so I go after the support
The support gets heals out the ass and also knows how to dodge
Go for the Trapper, they always seem to have jetboost up 24/7
I don't fucking get it
>>148159365

Her character itself is kinda annoying, but the reactions she gets from the other hunters are fucking fantastic.

She should have been less sadsack pity party and more nervous but excited, with an increasingly poorly hidden megalomaniacal tendencies.

How do you deal with sunny drones? Destroying them feels like a waste of time since she places them faster than you can kill them.
>Dome breaks when the monster takes enough health damage
Why?
What do you think the next monsters going to be? Theyve got the archetypes covered pretty well
Balaanced monster- goliath
Ranged/flyer- kraken
stealthy/fast- wraith
big and strong- behemoth
trap/ambush- gorgon
>>148163236
>>148162868
I don't think you unlock Behemoth either.
>>148164194
Founders do get behemoth. You just can't buy him right now because he's being reworked.
>>148164182
Minion monster
>>148164171
Basically, you dont.
If youre going t make the effort to kill the drone you might as well just kill sunny which is a perfectly viable tactic because of how annoying her jetpack and drone are
Thoughts about Gorgon? Op or not?
>>148162353
The reason his face is all burnt up is because he refused to wear a mask because he wanted to be up close.
Masks were for "pansies."
>>148159691
Don't engage until S2
Use Gorgon/Wraith
When you get domed fight them off but dance if you get your armor dinked
Focus some one or don't, doing mediocre damage to everyone is meaningless if you don't down anyone.
Remember you aren't highlighted or anything like that, you can literally hide in bushes when you get domed. It's hilarious
>>148164176
Wouldn't want bad monster players to be punished for being bad, now would we ?
Especially if they get caught without armor because they are braindead
>>148164331
spider mine is obnoxious bullshit
everything else is w/e
>>148164282
founders don't get behemoth unless they purchased the $100 pc monster race edition
the regular version of the game that was $60 gets you 5 of the 7 monsters, it doesn't include behemoth or gorgon
>>148164290
Hate to break it to you but theres never going to be a minion monster. Theyve tried to make it work and they cant get the ai to be satisfactory enough.
Wraith decoy/spider traps are gonna be the best you get.
Reminder: If you are not being focused by the monster to save your jetpack fuel. The only hunter that should be shitting out fuel is the assault to stay on the monster and the guy being attacked.Only shitters who can't into fuel management cry about wraith.

Markov or Blitz Markov? Blitz seems better on paper.
>>148164182
A psychic one that ties in with kala because the monsters understand human biology now.
Its has like a force push and/or a brief mindcontrol.
Or a big aoe fear that forces hunters to use a jetpack charge away or something.
>>148164176
Because previously the dome was a set amount of time, and the dome would only go down if the trapper was incapped.
This meant one of the central tactics was mitigation, where a monster would just refuse to fight and stall for time.
Now that is it is tied to monster health and hunter incaps if forces the monster to fight.
>>148164391
Get a clue
>>148164325
Yeah I try to focus her but the drones keep shielding her and medic heals her so she's a bitch to take down.
>>148164795
Because he is.
>>148164731
either increase the % HP threshold for a dome to break or tone down the ridiculous armor regeneration
one or the other desu

Goliath, 2 charge,1 smash and 1 boulder. Had a guy that wiped us at the landing multiple times, but always left 1 guy alive to duke it out again.

>not putting one in flame breath for easy wildlife farming.
Anyone else stop giving a fuck as the monster and just bumrush the hunters the moment they get off the ship? Hunters are too stupid to use their abilities and protect each other 9/10 times.
>>148164865
Kill the drone then run down sunny. She cant throw the drone away from her she has to throw it at her feet.
She either wont be able to throw it down or itll die to one of your abilities.
>hard to kill being healed
Obviously. You either kill someone getting shielded or kill someone getting healed, pick your poison.

>>148164905
>either increase the % HP threshold for a dome to break or tone down the ridiculous armor regeneration
You don't get it, They DON'T want you to kill the monster in a single dome, They don't even want you to kill the monster in two domes. You're looking at 3-5 domes for him to die.
>>148164958
>the more you eat the bigger it gets
Wow I can't believe they haven't thought of that, maybe if it eats enough it can gain new abilities and "evolve" if you will.
>8.4k healing in a single 1.5m fight

>>148164853
>Fail to down anyone when they massively buffed the focus until down strategy
>Still get a free pass unless you have brain damage and continue fighting without armor and after losing multiple health bars
>T-this is to make the game more challenging
If the monster is incapable of getting a single down, he should get punished HARD, especially if he fucked up his feeding game and somehow doesn't have a proper armor with the half armor from evolving and the passive armor regen
>>148165017
If you have fed yourself an armor, no reason not to
As long as you down one person, you can get the fuck out of dodge asap. If you down two you can leave whenever your armor breaks
>>148165009
>>148164916
They way theyve changed perks goliath really should be getting one in everything. Both for mobility and max damage.
Just max out the rock at stage 2 and youre good to go.
>>148164182
I want a fast ground based character that can run on the walls/ceilings
Call it Basilisk
Looks like a dragon-y gecko alien thing with all the necessary tendrils and glowy spots and stuff to fit the aesthetic.
Fast and mobile but without the constant airdashing of wraith
Should I get Val or Rogue Val?
>need a medic with a tight ass
>>148165103
Oh. Fair nuff.
>>148165145
It's likely that it was the support's fault.
Few days ago when I was playing for the first time since release as Hank the trapper blamed the healer when I actually forgot that Hank's 4 is a group shield.
>>148165105
I get it perfectly, and it's fucking obnoxious bullshit.
The passive armor regen, the armor gained on evolve, letting the monster fucking run when I chip it's healthbar for maybe 1-2 bars?
Hunters have to play near perfectly and the monster can make numerous mistakes and still have a decent shot at winning.
>>148165316
I prefer it when hunter's couldn't auto track you and actually sneaking as monster to get to stage 2-3 was rewarding. Now you can just fight them at the landing site, down 1 guy and bail while they recover, essentially turning the game into a chase where the monster dictates when the fights happen all the time
>>148165198
Val is generally better because 90 % of monsters know only one strategy and it's to focus someone down. In that case the no-nonsense "heal the fucker I'm pointing at" beam is superior
If you're playing against a decent monster that maximizes his abilities by damaging multiple people (aka a skilled monster or one of the OP monsters), Rogue Val is plain superior because you heal multiple people at once from a distance
Both medics have the same ability to survive when focused by the monster, aka not much unless the rest of your team is top gear. Val's rifle is better to maximize damage at medium range and especially when the monster is escaping without his armor. Rogue Val's does more damage when focused
>>148165198
you don't see your character's model when you're playing, fucking waifufag. go play tera or something you pathetic degenerate
>>148165168
>T-this is to make the game more challenging
who are you quoting they did it to make the game less fucking boring. They have dome and planet scan to force fights. You know it was called a walking simulator right?
They Don't want you to be able to kill the monster in a single dome, they want a series of skirmishes throughout the entire game.
>monster should get punished hard for being weak at his weakest.
Why would anyone want to play monster if he could lose half his hp in the first dome?
It's not very hard to dome the monster now or find him.
>>148165515
>rogue val doesn't have the ability to survive when focused
holy shit we bronze up in here
Goliath is the most overpowered shit.
>inb4 high level premade team with maxed perks says otherwise
>be lvl 15 and paly with lvl ~12-20 people mostly.
>almost always i get the goalith in the first 2 mins in the dome yet suprise he has almost full fucking shield.
>jumps on me with spell
>ook i can jetpack
>throws rock and then jumps at me
>ok i can still jetpack
>charges and then again throws rock
How the fk am i supposed to survive this continuos combo?Sooner or later i am dead and then its over.
Even so its near impossible to kill a lvl 3 behemoth cause one lucky stone throw and its gg.
>>148165803
>Goliath is the most overpowered shit.
>>148165316
No one played the old evolve, people said it was boring, the old game was centered around sneaking and getting punished hard if you got caught.
New game is around running and getting punished lightly if you get caught. They want games to have a lot of action, no a monster hiding for the entire game or a team fucking him in the first 3 minutes.
>>148165570
>(you)
I already play tera btw :^)
>>148165803
goliath actually has somewhat reliable counterplay unlike kraken or to a lesser extent wraith in it's current form
that and it's fun to fight
>>148165635
>They don't want you to kill the monster in a single dome
Takes three-four domes currently, even if you ace every single one
Not getting downed is acing it, because if a single person gets a strike the dome will go down with scratch health damage
>>148165718
Explain how Rogue Val has better survival ability when focused down then, instead of screaming about muh newbs
>>148165803
Goliath is far from overpowered and is fun to fight unlike many other monsters.
>>148165996
there's a happy middleground between never finding the monster and being always tracked you know
i'd rather global scan be increased in cooldown and stage 1/ stage 2 monsters reeled in than the current bullshit
>>148166147
its not ,he is the most overpowered.
also
>play vs gorgon
>r you serious?i dont even need to heal,this shit does 0 dmg ,all it does is run.
base dome time is 5:00
Hunter going down lowers it by 3:30
the monster losing a bar of health lowers it by 1:10
That means you have 20 something seconds left.
>>148166041
Rogue val's healing burst heals herself fully, instead of nearby teammates. It also passively heals allies nearby, which is paused when she heals herself.
At least know the classes you're talking about, holy shit welcome to the game.
Ok, fuck.
I want to buy this game, but for that to be worth it, I need friends to play with.
How do I get friends to play with?
>>148165635
>You know it was called a walking simulator right?
My computer was too bad to run the game when it was in open beta.
But, what I saw on twitch, it looked a lot more fun when everyone was just trying to track the monster, instead of just this steam roll easy peasy tracking.
>>148164331
Gorgon is horse shit in this new little update
Can stage 1 wipe the hunters EASY

>You must be new if you don't know that one DLC class that doesn't even have a wiki page to study her

>>148166563
what ,you can easily negate at least 80% of the dmg by jumping.
thats the only dmg thing you have and rarely you catch more than 2 people on it for more than 1-2 seconds.
>>148166041
>Takes three-four domes currently
They've literally designed the game to be like this.
It''s working as intended.
I can't see them changing it, they've over buffed the monsters but if they nerf them they might just nerf the dome even more.
You will never be able to kill the monster in one dome, this isn't old evolve.
>>148166210
Turtle rock can't find the happy middle ground, a year of being made fun of for being boring made them think the game needed more fights.
Turtle rocks working under the assumption their new audience has a low attention span, and they're probably right.
>>148166491
They dumbed down the game to be more appealing, its literally that simple. not everyone enjoys hunting a monster with no fights a bad tracker or just a poor tracking class made games boring.
now that its f2p they've thrown away the niche didn't help them much anyway.
>>148166742
You specifically stated something about a character that was wrong, I corrected you, and you...are now mad that I shared some information with you?
Holy shit that's some turbo autism. You should be thankful that somebody is willing to politely share the correct information, not sperg out because you weren't right. You even responded as if you knew what I was going to say (muh newbs).
Quit acting like you know the game when you obviously, and admittedly, do not.
>>148166754
acid spit as important for air targets as for targets on the ground / downed targets.
like i said, i achieve 20k+ damage with it each game, and it's easily the gorgon's highest damage dealer. the spray itself does amazing damage, even if they don't stand in the goo.
>>148166796
>Turtle rocks working under the assumption their new audience has a low attention span, and they're probably right.
and that is why the game is doomed to die again

>Politely
>I'm not actually sure
>You must be new faggot
You must have brain damage. It's fine, no-one is judging you
Can anyone tell me how on earth monsters work? Specifically, Goliath.
When I play against him he somehow always manages to at least down 1 of us at level 1 yet when I play him and focus on either medic or hank it's always literally impossible to do anything.
I've tried everything from sneaking around, false trails, just running and feeding whatever I come across, charging them at spawn - literally nothing works.
I can drag them finding me out for a while but even at level 3 it's like I'm up against this insanely unified machine that manages to fly everywhere and get back to full health after every slap I give.
Are there any skills that are absolutely useless? Do you never level them past a certain point? Hell, even against npcs at level 3 I can't seem to do shit. What gives?
>>148167336
who cares?
this was never going to be a competitive esports game, it's always been a 1-2 year lifespan game for fun. think of it like dead by daylight.
4v1 games will never be truly competitive, it's that simple

I never once called you a faggot. You also never said "I'm not actually sure". Quit trying to damage control and just stop responding. Below you'll see the sentence that started this, which you decided to defend despite "not knowing" whether it was correct or not.
Oh and by the way, everybody is judging you.

Please don't compare it to DBD.
DBD is 10000% more simplistic than evolvo, and considering I've about six friends who have been playing since release with 2.5k hours each the game has staying power.
>>148167336
Anon literally what else can they do?
The only way to justify making the dome more punishing if the monster is caught is by making it harder to catch him.
But no one enjoyed that version of the game, That version of the game sold really well but didn't have player base.
>>148167539

I'm going to keep on insulting you and then stop answering to you, because it's cute to see autism speak
>When you down two of the hunters and escape the dome
>only to double back and take out the other two while they're occupied.
I enjoy being the monster. maybe more than I should.
>>148167706
it's a perfect relation
not only do both sides (the 1 and the 4) complain constantly about the other because bad, but they are both a 4v1 game that some people take very seriously, despite it having no actual serious gameplay.
you'll never make money playing evolve, you'll never have $100,000 dollar tournaments. quit acting like you will.
Reminder that Lazarus free week will be a thing at one point.
>>148167768
The niche is same as it was, combat was always the central focus. The community always complained about the monster being disincentivized to fight.
Arena was a huge hit with the community.
>>148167857
Nothing about this post refutes a single thing I said.
A person can't go around lying to people because of his ignorance and expect to not be corrected.
The worst part is when that person, for some reason, thinks they are right in the matter, despite specifically being wrong.
If this game doesn't even exist, why are you here? Just to lie about it?
I'm here to share information within a community I care about. I don't understand your intention though.

The niche has changed, the game was about hunting before, now it's about being an arena brawler.

You are sitting here, insulting somebody who corrected you when you were wrong.
Take a second, think. Who's the real autist here?
who /fucking abysmal/ with monster here?
i think i've only won like, twice
i cant even win with wraith
>>148167953
There was a 50k tournie.
Evolve does have actual "serious" gameplay.
The game is impossible to balance for competitive without a division, but it's a hundred times more serious than something like DBD, which didn't have parties on account that it would break the game.

>>148164331
gorgon is exactly what I wanted the monster to be, able to hide easier, able to stalk the hunters from above. Literally perfect for what I wanted from Evolve.
What are some tips for new players?
I think I like playing assault class or trapper. is trapper abe any good? He seems kind of shitty. The shotgun doesn't seem effective and when the fight with the monster breaks out, I feel like I don't do much besides spam nades?
Any other tips for newbs? Also, what to spend money on? I am afraid of buying a shit character. I really REALLY like playing markov though but I don't understand how he compares to other assaults.
>>148164576
Wraith already is kind of snakelike, the silouhette would be too similar
