>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.

That doesn't look like Val.
Anyone awake and want to play?
How do I win as the monster ever? I'm like 1/8 with Goliath and have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. The only time I won it was because I managed to get to stage 2 and hit with most my skill shots in the final fight.
In the opening 30 seconds am I just supposed to put as much distance between myself and the hunter spawn as possible while ignoring wildlife?
>>148336245
>In the opening 30 seconds am I just supposed to put as much distance between myself and the hunter spawn as possible
Yes, but don't ignore wildlife. Run to the edges of the map and literally run circles around the whole map, eating along the way with all your perks as movement speed perks and keep fucking running until you're fit to take the fight to them.
Stage 2 favors hunters immensely, global scanner needs a nerf.
>>148336117
this game isn't very fun.. I feel bad for people who bought it. I'd rather play l4d tbqhf
what do you people like about this? I've only played 3 matches and they've all been pretty boring and hunter-sided.
>>148336504
Rank up and fight big boy monsters with full perks and it gets challenging
>Not playing Wraith correctly and being a sneaky annoying cunt and getting to level 3 before they see you once
The Planet Scanner is the best thing they've ever done to this game. The hunters trick themselves for you. It's like having a 5th skill as the monster.
>>148336504
Its fun for me.
>>148336635
GOBI
Wait so what's the point in lazarus if you give strikes upon glove revival?
>>148336504
I'm like 20 something games in and the experience has been very mixed. Monster wins are satisfying as fuck and often times the monster just gets fucking curbstomped. Monster can get found once then he's traced for the rest of the game and has Val on his ass tranqing him until he dies. If the monster player gets to stage 2 the round is alright
>>148336245
On the opening you want to advance quickly while eating whatever is on your path
They'll most likely planet scan you, you can either ignore it and keep eating or try to use it at your advantage and lure them by advancing on one direction while it's still active and doing a quick, sneaky turnaround
Dont be afraid to get domed, actually you should look forward to it and prepare a place where you want to be domed, as goliath that would be a cave, someplace with a neutral boss monster or a pool of acid
When the dome land go ham on them, they will most likely be scattered, disorganized and out of jetpack, you can very often snatch and easy kill in the first 10s of a dome and snowball if they're not careful (It only take one retard)
You usually want to focus medic or support but look for opportunities, if they are all clumped up just AOE the fuck out of them, if one of them is far from the group push him away from his teammate and/or pounce him (ctrl+LMB)
>>148336413
just because your pansy ass can't sneak to stage 3 without a single fight doesn't mean it "favors hunters immensely". it means you have to learn how to fight at early stages and when to leave the fight. get a couple strikes in the early stages without losing too much health, kill them in either stage 2 or 3 depending on how aggressive they are
>>148336847
Lazarus best VA
>>148336847
You only give strike if the body is dead
if they're just downed, they're fine
>>148336910
>teaching monsters to dome on their terms instead of the hunters'
please don't teach them this, i like my free wins as hunter
>>148336920
Just because your pansy ass can't take down a stage 3 doesn't mean the monster should be tracked for almost the whole match.
First for SIT OUTSIDE DOME AS EMET, THROW BUOYS DOWN AGAINST IT, AND HEAL BURST SPAM YOUR TEAM
>>148336910
>Dont be afraid to get domed, actually you should look forward to it and prepare a place where you want to be domed, as goliath that would be a cave, someplace with a neutral boss monster or a pool of acid
Should I be willing to do this at stage 1?
>>148337069
>that huge acid lake behind where you start on orbital drill
I almost feel sorry for the hunters when I get them to dome me there.
So as a Hunter, what happens if I dump all perks into regeneration?
Will it be like having a constant medic on me when out of combat or is the regen irrelevant in a battle?
>>148337183
Yup
I'd be inclined to say especially level 1 because you're at your weakest and need it the most
I like to do it every game, I usually down 1 or 2 hunter and it give me some food to evolve right after
Or that game 5min ago where the place was so good they refused to come at me so I just evolved inside the dome
>>148337439
I imagine it's best for roles that don't get focused too much-- trapper and assault.
>>148337439
I think it only kicks in after some seconds without taking damage
so its kind of ok as assault, when you can shield your health with your skill
>>148337084
>tracked for almost the whole match.
7s duration with a 30s cooldown. 18% uptime. that is not "almost the whole match".
Val or Rogue Val? the other medics seem sort of eh
Is the Wraith still OP?

Is there anything better than standing on a cliff with a rock in your arms waiting for the hunters to blow their fuel getting to you and then nailing all 4 with it?
>>148337715
Bucket and Hyde are a login reward to that's your Support/Assault
Medic I'd say Caira
Trapper Griffin or abe
>>148337932
>>148338028
Thanks
!>>148337743
Wow! you are so edgy and alpha!
Thanks for the you anyway
None of the wikis are updated and the game doesn't say it.
What exactly does planet scan do?
It feels like it makes us run faster or something? Am I missing something on the minimap?
What's a good Perk build for Blitz Markov?
Also for Wraith
>Cant level up accounts
FUCK I AM LEVEL 19 IM SO CLOSE TO COMPETITIVE
>>148337551
You can still pretty much spam it though, you can get the cooldown timer to 17 seconds. That's a big portion of the match where the monster basically just has to run or fight. It simplifies the game.
The hunters already had abilities where they could reliably track the monster throughout the match and I'm not just talking about daisy and monster tracks, smart hunters could basically predict where I would be jumping and hit me with tracking darts the whole game, spread out and kill wildlife to starve me, plant trackers in animals, bucket had his drone head ability. The global tracker is just unnecessary if hunters use their other tracking abilities effectively. It's just a dumb "show me the monster" button, it's fucking brain-dead.

>>148338202
It's not that accounts can't level up, but they adjusted xp required for each level so leveling up to 20 takes longer because it was too fast before.
What is the reward for day 18? Is that actually Kraken or just a skin?
>>148338479
what are you talking about
>>148338552
That's the actual kraken
>>148338550
No dude, the exp literally doesnt move at all in the 8 matches i have played
This shit cant be normal
>>148338552
skins are not a "next major reward"
>>148338479
What? Who gives a shit?
>>148338552
Get ready for a swarm of Kraken players, buddy.
>>148338779
They increased xp requirements so with your xp you're actually like rank 16 now. You need some matches to get to the new rank 19 threshold and then the bar will start moving again.
>>148338884
>Get ready for a swarm of Kraken players, buddy.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kraken was the free rotation monster around that time anyway
>>148338996
They wouldn't do that would they? Then again, the first monster rotation was just a reskinned Goliath, the fearsome Blue Goliath.
>>148339070
I actually like meteor. Makes him stand out like a mother fucker with those blue flares.
>>148338479
Im a generous guy!
Thanks you!
>>148338992
Well fuck that makes sense, it should be more obvious though
>>148339141
Blue is meh, he feels too similar. Wish he had at least one different ability beyond the fire thing, however I do like how his fires stop shooting out his back when he goes sneak mode.

See for yourself
http://steamcharts.com/app/273350
People still pick shitty characters and just don't get any better even at level 25~
They're still randomly jumping into the monster for no reason and wasting all of their boost and not healing as medic and not shielding as support
The community might kill this game for me. I don't expect much, but I expect basic levels of gameplay after some one has 50+ matches of experience. You know the fucking monster is going to kill your bitch medic self for boosting 3 times right next to it by now
>>148339751
heck yeah im getting into it,
>>148339751
It just got rereleased as f2p, it has a HUGE (shitty) playerbase

>>148339864
You need to relax and play with your friends bro, who do you play as?
Assault?
You sound like an Assault to me.
>they nerfed all the monsters
whats the deal with the purple skins?
>>148340186
I think they just wanted to give us skins to buy with grindpoints while they prepare the real smooth skins that will sell for real money
>>148340253
makes sense because i saw abe had maneater and it just looked unfitting
Man, Abe can carry a team so hard with tracking darts. I just had a game with 384 seconds of active tracking darts.
>>148340035
It's not that bad even tho I dont think balance needed it
Now the real mindfuck was the behemoth nerf
Just why
Enjoying the game so far, just frustrated at dealing with silly teammates.
Playing any role will typically result in at least one other player dropping the ball on theirs. Assaults not dealing damage, Supports not shielding/buffing, Medics not healing, and Trappers not debuffing or controlling the monster.
True horror.
>>148340997
Truly the real monster was man.
>>148340526
>It's not that bad
I don't know, maybe I was just lucky but today I lost all my monster games (even tho I was only playing Bob because I bought Evolve today and wanted to try it) and won almost every game as a hunter
>behemoth nerf

Such is the like of a Kraken player.
I don't care if TRS nerfs him to be on the weaker side, I just want people to stop bitching about my tentacle boy.
>>148341395
Yep, that's how it goes.
>>148341395
totally true. Probably the devs are shitters themselves
What's everyones opinion on Cabot and what's the best perk loadout for him? Played him against a stage 1 wraith just now and his rail gun and double damage beam seem OP af, burned the wraith down just as the dome fell.
>>148341524
I like Cabot as a character, but he get terrible outclassed
its nice when you can deal tons of dmg, but its not your job
>>148341524
Cabot+Blitz Markov is nuts. His cloud+rail are amazing counters against Wraiths/Goliaths who like to traversal from one end of the dome to the other for armor regen.
He's pretty solid overall but requires your healer to be more careful as he won't have Hank shield/Sunny beam to help him survive. He punishes the usual monster strat of "tunnel the healer" pretty hard if the assault has any idea of what he's doing.
I just killed 3/4ths of a team and then was chasin this nigga down and all his boyz came back. What is that shit
Why do domes sometimes go down so quickly?
>>148342152
Gravity
Is it normal dealing this damage as Trapper?
I had the impression Assault was underperforming so I had to focus on damage too.
Also, what's wrong with all the retards deploying domes when there are only 1 or 2 hunters alive? What do think is gonna happen if they trap themselves with the monster?
I've been enjoying 100% increase on smell range and being a sneaky monster. You can bait hunters to go a certain direction with the planet scanner then go the opposite direction to get 15-20 seconds extra time of free feeding. It's also nice being able to plan what you want to do since having a large smell range lets you see hunters coming from miles away
>>148342229
Abe just does pretty great damage.
Retards gonna retard.
I have to kill the hunters like 8 times to win as Monster because they respawn so fast
I mean I get that punishing death timers probably feels like crap but fucking hell the person you just killed being back in the same dome is just as cancer
>>148342152
Dome time is 5 minutes. It loses 1:30 minute (or close to that) when a hunter is down. It loses a minute every time the monster lose a health bar.
I hate Kala so much
>bawww I sucked a kraken's dick and now I'm dangerous
>I hope you guys aren't too afraid of me going full minster
>hey guys I don't know how far I'll transform
>oh man I'm such a depressed cunt bawww
And her armor removal is shit with new dome mechanics. We dome the monster stage 1, she zaps its armor off, and the dome drops in 10 seconds with the monster laughing all the way to the other side of the map.
>>148342351
it loses 3,5 minutes when a hunter is down.
>>148342229
Literally just had a match where the trapper died while assault went to save him, and the medic ran off alone and started to get her shit pushed in. I tried to catch up and shield to save her and she domes us in just before she dies.
Even more frustrating that I was the one who domed the entire match as support when both the medic and trapper who can sprintaimlessly ran after the monster rather than try to cut it off.
People are shit.
Just bought a CD key for the game so I now essentially have everything. I also have around 50k keys. Are some characters better than others in their roles? Are some perks better or is it all down to play style? I want to be overpowered for a little while
>>148342557
please tell me you didn't pay 15€ or so from G2A and bought it from other sites for 6€ like smart peoples.
>>148342448
thats why I love me some Abe
>Dont worry Kala. If things get out of head you wont even notice the high energy projctile in your head.
>>148342323
Unless the hunter team is really bad you shouldn't try to kill them all at stage 1. Basically the game plan is
>run and eat
>try to down support/medic the first time you get domed so they'll get a strike (max health reduced) then run away the moment the dome drops
>repeat until all hunters have 1 or 2 strikes (at 2 strikes they barely have half their health and die immediately instead of going down)

>>148337715
Assault: Blitz Markov
-Tesla Gun does amazing damage if kept connected (300 damage per second on max charge!)
Support: Sunny
-Shield drone is ridiculously good
-Weapon has most damage per projectile in the game
-Jetpack booster useful to help Trapper track monster
-Also useful for helping medic in dome to escape if focused
Medic:Val
-Healgun heals 110 per second (175 on downed Hunters)
-Tranquelizer is a better Dart Gunalthough lasts only 10 secs
Trapper: Griffin
-Sound Spikes stop monsters doubling back (like wraith)
-Harpoon gun stops mobile monsters from moving around/escaping after dome collapses
I havent loaded the game up in a few days, did they give everyone a shitload of keys for beta testing purposes? im at 31k right now. i didnt have much to buy with them anyway besides the new skins, and perks which you got for free just by playing anyway.
>>148344601
This is outdated information.
Val heals 55. Caira heals much more (156, and that is per shot, she fires more than one shot per second)
Not to mention Caira's heals are AoE.
>>148344148
you can angle it by turning your camera in the direction you want to angle it.
>>148344879
You again?
Caira heals 125 we went over this already.
>>148345013
Huh? Did they change her heals at yesterday's patch?
Hyde's lines are so best it hurts
>>148345215
>I'm 13 years old
>>148344148
You can control the angle to a degree so you don't have to be infront of the monster. Just hold that button down and aim infront of where the monster is going and it'll stay on him and block from that direction.
Here is a pic I made for you. The red is about what you can block from that position. Jack can block from below and from above as well. It's just something you'll get the hang of.
>>148344879

Is a better character selection screen in the works?
You should be able to see what people lock in and pick your character accordingly to synergize with theirs, but it's blind pick for your own team right now which is honestly pretty stupid considering some hunters are almost useless on the wrong team.
>>148347946
You can see what they lock in under their names while you're still picking your own character/perks
It's not perfect but you can plan around it a bit, and you can still just back out and pick another character

Blitz Markov
Hank and only Hank, he's the best by far
Val/Caira, Rogue Val is OK but I would get Val/Caira first.
Don't play trapper
Wraith or Elder Kraken, Gorgon is good too and they might be buffing Behemoth.
>>148349556
Why not trapper?
>>148345013
>>148345162
She's healed for 125 this whole time, that guy just has some weird infatuation with trying to troll people by saying wrong numbers for Caira's heal. He's strange.
>>148349556
Sunny is an objectively better hank
Hank is only good if the monster is dumb and stands under an orbital
>>148349556
Blitz Markov is a good all around, but Lennox is probably the best for all monsters except kraken.
>>148349556
>Don't play trapper
Why? Griffon is best.
>>148349556
A good trapper can make a match a complete breeze, particularly if they're Abe.
I bought the Kraken because goliath was getting stale and since he has long range attacks it's unlike any of the other monsters. Was going to save up for the elder kraken but I figured it'd be better to get the normal one and later the gorgon for just a little more money. Can anyone help me understand why I'm winning? The game is so easy that it's scary.
The opening I understand, when I see the hunters coming towards me I set up my mines and pounce/lightningbolt to kill whoever finds me ahead of the group. But during the fight I feel like I just kind of flop around until the hunters are dead. I usually ignore static field because it takes valuable flight charges to get anywhere near the hunters, and max out lightning bolt and vortex for the cooldown reduction. I just don't know if people are physically incapable of aiming up towards me or if the kraken is too strong.
Why is there no good hentai/rule 34 of Evolve yet fuck.
What is the best female of each role? I don't like playing male characters.
Reminder that the old steam group is defunct, due to poor moderation. The chat is dead because all of the active chat users converged over to the new steam group where they will not be banned at all unlike in the old steam group.
The new steam group is "/evog/ - Evolve General" and it can be found at http://steamcommunity.com/groups/evolvevg
I'm not intending to cause drama, but the anon shilling his discord link refuses to put the new group link in the OP.

>>148350898
He got nerfed into oblivion. You can not revive dead people anymore without giving them a strike.
The new dome will remove 3 minutes every time someone gets downed so you want to fight as long as possible which is just not possible with Laz.
>>148351165
I've seen people be kicked and gone for like a minute then all of a sudden come back.

>>148350718
>monster, trapper and assault aren't assigned the right colours
Triggered.
Protip if you dome the monster and there's a sneaky path around the edge where with a big ass pillar in the way, don't get stuck going around it. Stick to the big open areas otherwise your buddies will get focused
>>148350669
Sure have, anon-kun.
>>148351364
Here's another
Protip: If you chase the monster into a small ass cave or building and start fighting there then you should probably remove yourself from the gene pool
Does deploying a dome when the monster is attaking the power relay make any sense?
It only serves to trap the hunters.
I'm a new player so I'm not sure, but I'm sick of retardeds dooming the team.
Alright, heres the ultimatum.
Pickles is being a faggot and shilling the discord.
I just want the steam group to thrive so people have a vice to play with eachother on.
Ms.Behaving is not behaving, doing the opposite, in fact, and is still clinging to the old steam group despite it being dead.
If the next OP doesn't have the link to the new steam group in it, the steam group is getting deleted and you autistic faggots can deal with it yourselves.
I didn't want to lead a steamgroup, but I also didn't want an attentionwhoring tumblrina to either.
For making the OP, delete the discord link that Pickle is on the ball game for making new threads purely just to shill, and input http://steamcommunity.com/groups/evolvevg into the OP.
If you could also make a pastebin with the OP for a third party retard who decides to make a new thread, please do so.
>>148351754
You want to save the dome for when/if the monster decides it wants to run away to eat and rebuild it's defenses, that's when you want to dome it in and finish it off, not the moment it shows up to fight because it's not going to leave anyway.
Alright what is the best perk set up for cabot? I'm not sure what affects his double damage beam, reload speed or cooldown reduction? Which do I get?
>>148351902
PRESS F TO DOME is too in-your-face
How is the serb invisa medic?
I already know he's piss poor at healing, but how is everything else for him?
>>148351754
Only when the monster is trying to run away and regen armor. Otherwise it's just a trap for the hunters.
>>148351939
Yeah, I'm frustrated with retards too but the game doesn't do a great job of explaining "advanced" tactics to players depending on the situation.

What the FUCK, how do you even deal with an Abe when playing as monster?
>get domed
>down someone
>leaving
>Abe shoots you with tracking dart
>you are under fucking planetary scan for 40 seconds pretty much
>hunters are not stupid, they spread out to always be on your tail
>Abe keeps hitting other darts on you thus extending the 40 seconds
>if by some second you manage to stay away from them for 40 seconds, he just planetary scans
>>148352910
If you're being tracked just run away. Like, how's this even an issue?
>>148352910
Get nerfed for a few more patches
>>148351904
Get capacity and reload speed, CD reduction is for your 4
>>148353030
As I said, if the hunters are not retarded they will easily predict where you are going and spread out to always be on your tail. It is a literal 24/7 planetary scan if the Abe is not dumb.
>>148352910
>jump to other side of map
>evolve
>win
Because of how the new dome works it doesn't fucking matter if they know your position 24/7. You even regen armor while walking around.
>>148352910
Being tracked isn't really any worse than planet scans every 20 seconds, and you deal with it in the same way.
Just spam traversals to the other side of the map and eat/evolve while they're catching up
90% of pub teams isn't smart enough to accurately corner you anyway, and if they do they probably split up too much and you can get a free down before they're regrouped.
>>148352910
Run away? Just spam traversals and shit. Even if they find you if the dome is down they can't really do shit to stop you for the most part.
If you don't play with a mic you're pretty much dragging your whole team down
>>148353110
Oh no, the hunters are spreading out, if only you ran three times as fast as they did.

There you go, you've got literally 20 fucking seconds (that's a third of a minute fyi) to do literally whatever you want. I would reccomend eating shit and evolving and then stomping the fuck out of them when they arrive because Level 2 and 3 monster is bullshit, but that's just me. Keep sitting around and crying cause you've got 20 entire seconds of free time.
>>148353195
As someone who mains Abe, I can tell you right now that once a Dart goes in, It takes a whole lot of luck to get me off your ass. The biggest factor is where on the map they are. If they're somewhere that has lots of cover, but an open path to where they want to be when the dart wears off, it's much harder to get another Dart in.
Though Planetary scan is basically an aimbot, if I can see that I have a clear LoS to the Monster on the in-game map, if I hit Planetary Scan it will give me their outline, so you can snipe them across the map with a Dart in some cases.
I had one game earlier where I had tracking darts active for 469 seconds, in a 10 minute game.
daily reminder:
all these useless shitters, like the ones that recommend using EMET, are in a /vg/ group
>>148353623
20 seconds is not near enough to eat and evolve, you need at least 1 minute
>>148353830
heres your reply, retard
>>148353830
EMET is great though. Well, assuming the team aren't retards who run off away from the buoys. So he's great in premades, at least.
