>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?
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.
>What if I don't want to grind for characters and perks?
You can buy the game and it to gives your account full founder benefits, which gives you 30k keys and most characters.
>Microtransation?
None as of yet.

First for DC IF YOU SEE A SLIM
have there been people banned? Just wondering before I start trolling and calling "people" niggers and faggots.
>>148630632
good man
seriously my winrate has improved a lot after starting to dodge certain players and characters
>TRS litteraly plan to nerf Gorgon acid dmg by 50%
What the fuck
>>148631251
You are not meant to be able to rely on it alone
>>148631291
And you already cant
This is not a reasonable nerf
>>148631409
Yes you can
Is the performance in this game normally not so great? I'll get about 70fps until combat starts, and then it will drop down to 7. Particle effect quality is turned down to low but the frame drops make the game semi-unplayable.Time to buy a 1060?
So, every rogue Val I see are immortal, should I just disconnect every time i see one as a monster or what ?
>>148631446
I suggest you XP for a bit and see what happen at higher level
I mostly Q as nopref and generally dislike playing monsters and I dont see how anyone will accept to play her if this go through
>>148631464
>ever buying anything under 70
>>148631251
>>148631291
>>148631409
Gorgon would be fine if the green bugs had less health before trapping a hunter.
>>148631526I have a 760 now
Fuck man but the cash monny spence
>>148631513
no, kill the support first then heavily focus on her
>>148631251
damage is the same if the hunter starts in the area
>>148631464
What card? My 760 drops down to 40.
>>148631513
Just gotta tunnel vision that bitch, she's not great at healing others so if they've got a good defensive support (like Hank, Tech Sgt Hank or Sunny) kill the support then move onto Val, just got to kill her before her healing field resets.
Oryou could git gud
>>148631615
>>148631656
my 760 grants me 60fps, you must be bottlenecked by your cpu or somethin
>>148631618
Already tried, killing the support while the medic is still alive is already difficult, and if I have to kill both support and medic before attacking the assault, I'm already dead. Current free assault does an insane amount of damage with his lightning thingy.
Rogue Val is honestly the only medic I have a problem with, every time I deal some damage to her, she instantly heal to full health, every fucking time.
>>148631693
Nope, brand new i5 and DDR4.
Do you measure it in heavy combat?
>>148631656
>>148631615
Also on a 760 here, constant 60fps with no drops at medium settings.
>>148631818
EVGA ACX 760 SC
Intel i5-4570
8 jiggys of ram.
>>148631561
I never have any problem killing the trap as Hank or Sunny
I think people just dont take time to focus the fucker and eat way too much webblast, it's like they have no idea what it does
>>148631878
This is exactly what I use.
Does yours get loud and warm when running games? Mine does, but I thought it was just the overcloking in action.
>>148631787
What monster are you playing as and what stage are you fighting people at? if they've got a strong line up just do your best to run and get stage 2/3, you'll fair pretty badly against her as stage 1, I can manage as MG to wipe a team with R.Val and Sunny, you should have even less problem if you play kraken or wraith. Also try and push support out of LOS as much as possible i.e off of cliffs, around corners anywhere it's disadvantageous for the medic to get a view of them.
>>148632036
I could check speccy but I think it only hits a max of 75°c.
>>148632147
Fuck, I am pretty sure I measured it to be 80, despite being very loud.
Do I really have a cucked card?
>mfw just played a game against a guy called #dontletmuslimsdrive
So, about the wraith, what's the deal with it.
>>148632431
Used to be a menace, now it gets blown to shit with even the most middle ground teams.
I'm level 21 or 22, but since it happens so rarely, it's still not clear what exactly is going on at stage3/relay defense
I've had like 3 or 4 stage 3 fights total in 25+ hours
why should we not dome the creature at that point?
why does the timer stop sometimes? does it stop because of the dome? or just when we're in combat?
can anyone explain the proper strategy for defending the relay?
other players (pubs) also seem confused at that point, some keep chasing the monsters some go back to the relay
>they nerfed maggie and wasteland maggie damage
for what purpose? wasteland maggie does less damage than maggie and has less utility
>>148632625
When the monster hits stage 3 run to the relay and pray to god your medic/support doesn't suddenly remember they have sever down syndrome. If you're lucky and your assault isn't using his shitty secondary weapon cause that AR reminds him of his Cawadoody, you'll deal enough damage to make the monster run away to get some armor back. This is when you dome him, unless he goes into a cave. NEVER DOME WHEN THE FUCKING MONSTER GOES INTO A CAVE. JUST BECAUSE THE BUTTON POPS UP DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO PRESS IT HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
>>148632625
>why should we not dome the creature at that point?
At stage 3 the monster is going to either come to rekt you or destroy the relay. Doming it as soon as you see it is stupid because it's not going to last enough time, he will just escape and recharge armor and come back and this time you won't have a dome. Not only that but you also risk getting trapped with the monster instead of trapping it.
Use your dome only if he is trying to escape without armor/ low health.
>why does the timer stop sometimes?
combat
>can anyone explain the proper strategy for defending the relay?
spread
>>148632813
Maggie does legitimately a lot of damage, if you just pop fools with your gat.
Wasteland Maggies nerfs?She has flame doggo to make up for the damage, because its so reliable as a damage source :^]
>>148633091
on average i deal like 3k damage with maggie
meanwhile abe does 12k+. sure his trapping isn't as good, but tracking darts are goat tier and the stasis nades do their job.
>>148633146
If you do more damage with abe then you do with maggie then you should play more maggie. She's effective at more ranges than abe and her smg really does do more damage.
As for wasteland MaggieHer damage isn't be calculated correctly no one knows how much she really does, not even TRS
>>148633307
you spend a lot more time replacing harpoon traps than you do shooting with maggie. abe just needs to throw one grenade every 5 seconds or so and reapply tracking darts when needed. i'm level 20 on both characters so i've play them roughly equally
>>148632920
along with spreading if you're a medic/support and being targeted its best to be around a jukeable structure to delay your possible death and waste the monster's time so assault can do more damage
I'm gonna do it today. I'm gonna be an absolute MADMAN and get a 100 match streak
>>148633519
gl hamster
>>148633443
you really don't, all you have to do is shoot one harpoon and go back to shooting. with bounty hunter it takes less than a second to do this.
if anything abe shoots less because of tracking dart and having to lob and aim a grenade. that and he's only getting full damage is he's close to the monster where as maggie just needs line of sight to full potential off her smg.

#IfOnlyNiceWasATruckFreeZone
On another note, how the fuck do new players get into the game if slims is the free rotation healer? Haven't won a game yet because I usually play trapper and slim is just shit, won loads of games 2 days ago when it was the healing nade bitch
>>148634350
>Do you cry yourself to sleep every night?
>you can hold goliath's rock by holding one
No one is safe
>>148634456
You can change something in the setting so abilities don't launch until you left click so you don't have to hold the button
>>148633642
Can you please explain the harpoon traps to me?
I tried them out in a custom game with a friend of mine playing monster and he said they slowed him down a bit but weren't really a big deal, I assume I'm using them wrong, my biggest issue with any of the stasis weapons is they don't prevent the monster jumping or goliaths charge.
I mostly play crowe so I assumed harpoon traps would be more effective than his stasis gun but it really didnt seem like they were.
>>148634189
No not everyone jumped ship, To tell you truthfully I only left to be closer to my fiancé. Turtle rock is a very relaxed work place everyone is very friendly it wasn't bad being a dev for them.
as for your second question I don't know the exact details I'm not in marketing and who ever decided the pre-order 100$ I never met. We make the game but we don't market it or price it, I heard it through the grapevine and thought that they were asking to much, but it sold well so maybe they must know something.
Question
Hunters always respawn when I down them? Or can I do something to make them dead forever? I'm new no bully
>>148634360

>>148634786
I really wish you just knew something I didn't about slim that would make him good.
>>148633146
Wasteland maggie's damage isn't reflected in the stats properly.
Confirmed by the devs
>>148634836
thanks
>>148634607
Stasis works by slowing the monsters movements without.
Harpoon traps work by hindering the monsters movements.
It's soft cc that cant' be easily removed
vs
Hard cc that can be easily removed.
Harpoons effect traversals and mobility based attacks much greater than stasis does. Harpoons also require the monster to break focus to remove themusually if he's already face the harpoon or the traps are poorly placed they are usually easily dealt with.
Tell you're friend to keep playing monsters when he's meets a good griffin he'll hate the harpoon.
>>148634984
Would you consider Griffons Harpoon better than Maggie's? or is it situational?
Also, any protips on gitting gud with Maggie's harpoons?
I read on wiki about other game types, like nest etc is that in game? I see only hunt
>wraith player runs around to get fast stage 3
>still loses to use when we fight at relay
so this is the power of stage 2
>free rotation Slims
>>148635120
Most people think griffin has the best CC because it works well in any situation.
Maggies doesn't really work well vs kraken for example, although that largely depends on how the kraken plays and where the dome is.
Only advice for normal maggies harpoons consistency, Fire a harpoon where it won't break before it can go off, go back to shooting.
The game doesn't tell you but guns reload with you needing to do it.
Every time a new trap is ready switch and fire a another and then shoot the monster again. Bounty hunter is really good for this and maybe a reload perk.
Putting harpoon traps on the edge of cliffs is usually better than the monsters feet and you ideally don't want all your traps in the same area, maggies harpoons are much more effective when the monster is forced to spend time breaking 2 or 3 harpoons on him from different directions.
But mostly you should play her because daisya cute
>>148635560
meant without*
As in when you fire the harpoon gun you can shoot a regular gun and it'll reload automatically.
>>148635324
just dodge
if they are higher level players with higher level slims, consider staying
>>148634910
play him as you would play an assault, with reload and capacity perks.

>jack repulsor does not stop wraith's abduct or warp blast
what is the fucking point
>>148629523
currently 32k+ players in game, stage 2 picking up some steam again
>>148635202
pls answer
How does Jack go? I haven't seen anyone play him really. Mostly peopple are just playing maggie because they aren't founders or w/e.
How does Slim's spore gun work exactly? Are you supposed to shoot right at the monster or what?
>>148635202
>>148636329
Other modes have been disabled for now. Only hunt (and arena in custom games) is available atm. To play old modes you need to install the old evolve, but you'll hardly find any player
>>148635676
>>148635560
Thanks anon
I'll give it a go, I assume I want to place down 3 harpoons somewhere and get the monster to walk into them?
I'll probably keep playing Crowe because shooting through armour has more utility than good trapping imo but I'll try them all out.
So is Hank or Sgt. Hank better?
I like bucket and he pulls some retarded damage but all these slims means someone has to keep the fucking team alive.
>>148636729
hank
Blitz Markov does so much fucking damage, oh my lord
>>148636840
Nerf soon
What monster gives the Cooldown reduction perks? I wanna spice up my Elder Kraken with some CD reduction perks
>>148636417
It's shit
His repulse gun is basically a reverse harpoon that doesn't last
>>148636840

Don't play with butthurt faggots.
I play monster most of the time and my friends tell me gud shit and ask where I was hiding when I win, or tell me to get fucked when I lose.
Playing with people you have to "go easy" on isn't fun for anyone
>>148638037
Nothing wrong with sometimes playing against friends.
Also sometimes even if I wasn't planning on being monster I end up as one anyway.
>>148638089
this. anybody that gets legitimately upset at friends playing games isn't worth playing with.
except in dota, because i got seriously pissed at my shitter friends because having fun in dota isn't possible unless you win
>>148638227
>fun in dota isn't possible unless you win
You aren't worth playing with.
>>148638015
Because it is in theory too much damage. That's how they nerf stuff.
>>148638227

As you said my man
>anybody that gets legitimately upset at friends playing games isn't worth playing with.
I wish Slim's healing burst would just happen automaticly.
>>148637636
Blitz Markov was just a much better Markov, not just different
Now if you want to boost Blitz Markovs potential you need the extra capacity perk so your Teslagun fires longer and hits therefor harder
>>148638669
literally just smash 4
>>148635990
It does stop warp blast, its worked against me before.
>>148638913
well what is the timing
because it certaintly does not stop the warp blast if wraith is only on the move
>>148639148
Its probably just lag. The game handles latency really poorly, and since its F2P there are going to be a lot of people with BR net cafe tier internet.
I'd suggest trying to predict when they're going to warp and having it on them before they go for it, if you're half a second late because of human reaction times and some lag she's going to get get most of her distance traveled anyway, and obviously holding her in place doesn't stop the explosion.
I think the beam is just tricky in general too. I've never tried it, but looking at it on video it seems pretty finicky on what does and doesn't count as the proper angle.
I've never actually seen it stop abduction, but I haven't played Wraith against Jack much. It should work, I think, but abduction is kind of a glitchy ability in a couple ways so you never know.

Not bad, I think you nailed it
Now make a monster list :)
>>148640878
>but what ever thats not my fault.
This is why people hate kala and people who play her. She brings little to the table unless the entire team is onboard with telehumping and her armor displacement confuses people and ultimately doesn't really do much since people are going to burn armor quickly to begin with.
You are taking a lackluster shitty weak pick and them blaming everyone else for not playing around your lackluster shitty weak pick to be 1/5th as useful as a Hank or Sunny.
Faggot.
>>148641152
Eat the corpses, camp the corpses when he goes invisible or focus him down first. He has shit healing potential and his only strengths are being annoying.
Holy fuck crow has the best elite skin.
>>148641152
You have to kill them not only down, and then eat the corpse, just down the support, since Laz can't heal for shit, then kill the support, again Laz can't do shit, eat the body, done
>>148641172I don't play monster so that would be a silly thing to do.
Post questions for a FAQ
>>148641379
I just bought (Character) are they Good/Bad/Shit
This is so people know not to get EMET or Kala or Slim or Lazarus or most characters until they get buffed.
>>148641198
It would be the same fucking problem with Hank faggot they wouldn't let me do a good orbital drop/laser because they were too busy chasing a monster into a corner where I can no longer shield them.
>Teir whoring
>>148641529
>EMET
>shit
He's good but the amount of effort he takes, like Slim, is what kills him compared to other medics. Buff Tuesday though.
Why would someone buy a founders key? You lose all sense of progression and accomplishment you get from unlocking characters and monsters. You really only need two or 3 good characters anyway.
>>148641691
>jetpack to them
>continue blocking 12k damage per match
Still a faggot
>>148641719
So instead of EMET/Slim just Lazarus for bad medic choices since Lazarus is just shit entirely regardless of effort used?
>>148641072
>Parnell that low
Although I guess it makes sense since hes only really good with val or laz.
>>148641737
True
>>148641719
Even played well they're shit compared to Caira and the Vals
>>148641776
I ain't going to support bad plays no matter what. They need to learn some day.
Friendly reminder that when you are not focused to ALWAYS jump in front of a goliath to catch the rock.
>>148642185
Why?
I mean, doesn't that risk just sending you into the person they're focusing so he can just combo two of you instead?
>>148641834
Parnell's solid but if whoever is getting focussed doesn't come to you, you'll always be playing catch-up and never getting to do your big damage with the shotgun.
>>148641945
I ain't going to support bad picks no matter what. They need to learn to pick some day.
>>148642521
>Only muh /veegee/ approved picks
kek whats your winstreak kid
>>148641072
Abe is better than crow imo, but I agree with everything else.
>>148642398
If someone is being focused it means their abilities and jetpack are usually depleted and they are low on health. Body blocking prevents downing and could possibly lead the monster to focus you while the medic works his magic. That is what being a Hunter is all about. Managing aggro and cooldowns.
What's better, triple feeding speed or double feeding, one movement?
>>148642667
100% as slim kiddo, nothing personal PSSSH
>>148642667
>winstreak
>not w/l ratio
So what the fuck does slim secondary does
>>148643187

it makes so the monster can't smell but the aoe is so small it's useless. itshould be like cabot's dust tagging and cover a huge fucking area

this
holy shit he is so bad
If you are a monster and want to win against a team with a slim:
-attack the support and kill him until he can't be revived
-attack the assault or the trapper after this
-don't forget to kill them until they can't be revived anymore
-attack slim after all the other 3 are dead, because slim can't heal someone if he gets attacked
>>148644963
>Playing Slim with reload perks
>Monster ignores me and goes for support
>I follow him around and shove my bug shotgun up his ass
>Heal bursting like twice a second, he eventually gives up because he can't kill the support
He's definitely not the best pick against actually good monsters and half his kit is worthless but if you can aim at a giant fucking monster he's not that bad.
>>148644963
bad idea. You want to down slim first in all circumstances, because an actually good slim player can nearly outheal the damage you deal to other hunters. His self heal is HALF of what his aoe heal is, this makes him drop like a fly when focused.
>>148644928
I have a 770 and I get 60 with medium, I could play on Ultra but dropping from 60 sometimes
I remember when the game came out I downloaded the pirate version and the performance was shit, in this version it's perfect, I don't think my fps drops during combat ever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HniJ85WIj4
Is TB right? Is the point of the monster to make a fun game for the hunters? Or is his tophat too tight for the gorrillionth time?
>>148645207
>drop like a fly
>>148644963
>focusing the medic last
Are you retarded?
So after realizing how much of a pain in the ass medics are, I prioritize them in every fight and so far it's been going well
Should I do that for now on? I get the feeling it might very well backfire

WIP Patch notes for the next update are up. Looks like Wraith is getting nerfed, again.
>>148645412
The support will make it hard for you, usually by casting a shield on the medic and the medic will heal said support if you try and target him. learn how to cope with that
>>148644840
yes
>>148645412
against a good defensive comp team it's a bad idea. You want to focus the support first then especially if you see a slim/sunny or laz/sunny since the medics might be running channeling perks and good fucking luck focusing them down before you lose 6 bars of health and all your armor.
>>148645412
Focus on either Support or Medic first.
If one of them dies, the other is fucked. If both are dead, the whole team's fucked.

the only right answer:

>>148643895
nothing
because Gorgon = Worst monster
Who is better at support?
Sunny or Hank?
What kind of mindset should I have for each?

Stopped reading right there, are you retarded
>>148645956
>>Warp Blast min aiming time reduced to .35 from .45
>Nerf?
Nope it's a buff, it means less time is needed between the entering of aiming mode and cast of ability. so it now comes out .1s faster if you just tap the button instead of holding it.
channel time means you explode .1s faster as well.

Hank is easier to use, but if you rock with Sunny, she is a better support, because 3 out of her 4 skills let your team mates survive longer
>>148646140
Both are S tier but Hank is easier to use

Did anyone try that cheesing method in normal hunt last night? I ended up quitting out of the group when one of us left because we couldnt find a 5th
>>148646837
>cheesing method
Tell us more
>>148646837
I was in that group but my game crashed and I was too tired to boot it back up
>>148646941
basically get 5 people together from the thread or your friends list or a combination of both, then someone either mains monster unless it forces people to be monster randomly. monster kills hunters where they spawn, match ends quickly and people should get the same amount of exp even if they game had been a normal 5-10 min match
didnt get to try it though because yeah, ended up leaving and going to bed shortly thereafter
>tfw you get to that level where you can't faceroll hunters anymore
I'm not liking how absolutely retardedly tanky people are when they finally go down, basically if I get a strike now I just run
>>148647561
>wasting a shitload of time

Are you retarded?
>>148647703
Games dead. Why not? Do you literally have anything better to do in the game until they give us (never coming back) the old game modes like defend, nest, and evac?
>>148647586
>if I get a strike now I just run
that's what they want you to do now. they want shorter more frequent fights rather than 20-30 minutes of find the monster and one big fight.
>>148645318
He is correct that hunting is stupid and this game is only good for actually fighting the monster
Who is the best medic?
I tried caira but everyone let the monster eat my asshole out and I didn't have enough self heals to survive.
>>148636417
jack is pretty lackluster atm, but he is just as good as anyone else if you can play him well
i just go rocketman, lord, king for perks. satellite does like 250 dmg if it touches the monster
repulsor is fucking great against anything really
>>148637324
shut the fuck up
Setting up another cheese group, already got 2 of us ready to go.
Anyone else want in?
>>148648318
rogue val for self sustain and aoe heals, regular val for healing single targets, and caira is in the middle of the spectrum.
that being said, if you don't have 25% capacity for your gold as caira you ain't doing shit.
>>148648496
What you gonna cheese?
>>148649356
gonna let whoever wants to be monster be monster, then have them kill hunters at spawn.
since no one has seem to have done it yeti n normal hunt, gonna see if multiple matches of doing it over and over will net us the same amount of exp per short match. If it does, then this means we have a legit way of earning exp for characters to get perks and whatnot until TRS gives us the other game modes (that are never coming back)
>>148649501
I'll join, I'm almost at 40 with wraith
Who do I send a message?
>>148649697
http://steamcommunity.com/id/DragoonEdge send it to me. I think itll be possible to just join on me without having to add me, not entirely sure though. Either way thatll be 3 have for it, 1 is playing pubs for now until we get full group together
>tfw can't find anyone to play Hunter with that's any good and can actually speak English
>>148649501
no thanks I have 50k keys still to use and I've already bought some perks
>>148650116
S'all good. I figure anyone whos got keys will be the ones to avoid cheesing because they can just get the perks out of the way that way.
>>148649993
If you need 1 more person i'll join, just let me know.
>>148650301
We got 3 total right now, one of us is currently playing pubs, so right nowe we need 2 more. Welcome to join us.
>>148650378
We're at 4 now, need 1 more.
What are the chances we'll get a space monster and fight on a ship in space?
>>148650893
Probably pretty low.

ded game
I hate Sunny
>>148651580
I've chosen regular Kraken twice today and had Elder Kraken pop up in the loading screen, as well as having all the red lightning and shit in game. But I was still Kraken
Do you get the same amount of exp for loosing as for winning?
>>148651616
>>148651507
why are these people even here, go back to /v/
Does reload perk on val mean faster recharge time for her medigun?
Should I buy emet, val, or caira taking (near!) future buffs/nerfs into consideration (as my first medic).
Dreg! Get your guy ingame!
Looking for 1 more to see if we can get cheesing to work. Anyone up for it?
>>148651952
Caira
>Have monster as least pref
>Someone in the lobby has pref monster
>I get monster and he gets my assault
Well memed TRS
>>148652440
so just swap with him? What's the problem?
Think this game will have a consistent community this time or will it die inside a month?
>mfw finally get a Val/Sunny/Wasteland Maggie/Blitz Markov premade setup and we hit 26 winstreak before we stop
>>148653093
It's gonna die. Game hasn't even left the "Beta launch" and already it's losing steam.
There just isn't enough drive/content there to keep people playing, and it doesn't help that the gameplay is really very repetitive after maybe 100 matches. There used to be some form of interest because the monster had more options, it could juke people, it could hide, you'd have to think more carefully, etc. Now it's just run at the monster, fight, run again, repeat. It won't last.
anyone know the exact stats on caira's launcher? trying to figure which has more hps, reload speed or capacity.
>>148653093
player count seems to be steadily rising. all time peak for original evolve was 27k. when f2p hit the peak was 24k. current peak is 50k with 30k active right now.
>>148653567
>player count seems to be steadily rising
That's cause it's Saturday, it was going down the rest of the week and will drop back down once we hit monday.
>bought Wraith
>beat a good team just by zipping around and retreating once the armor is too low
I'm now in team cancer with you guys. but Wraith is fun, even if you lose
I'm fucking sick of Distillery. Where are all the maps from legacy mode gone?
>>148653768
>Wraith
>Beat a good team
Not possible.
>>148653828
they are still reworking them
can't say what the problem was, though

Wraith is ez for high end players, but anyone outside of that she's a bitch. This nerf is going to KILL her.
>>148653828
Being redesigned for the new balance, senpai.
>>148654003
They favored letting monsters try to hide or be stealthy and were designed to be able to last 20 minutes. They're simplifying them so there's not as much hiding and the rounds are faster.
Welp, turns out you cannot 5 man cheese the game. It will just throw you into a custom match, which in turn gives you "only a set amount can be earned each day for exp", and since my daily log in hasnt reset (going off of that for daily reset timer), i wasnt getting anymore exp for lennox. Looks like 4 man groups will have to be the way to cheese
>>148654153
>Looks like 4 man groups will have to be the way to cheese
So what does that mean exactly? Just doing a 4 man premade and hoping one is the monster and having everybody just die asap, at the expense of one random guy on the team?
>>148654247
Pretty much. 5 man premade just kicks you into the custom mode set in the training tab.
>>148654247
more like they find the monster, dome it and line up for an ass-whoopin'.
>>148654247
>>148654415
>>148654481
Oh jeez, I have to deal with idiots leaving because they don't get to play their favorite role and now I'll have to deal with you dipshits?
Why don't play some other game?
Wait wait, so it doesn't matter if you win or lose in regards to getting xp?
Why even bother trying to win then unless you're doing ranked if losing will just get you same rewards faster?
>>148654063
>This nerf is going to KILL her.
It's not going to kill her
You fags only consider the fact that something is getting nerfed, but you don't consider how or by how much it's being nerfed
>>148654481
Monster might be stupid though and knock one guy down and run despite nobody doing anything.
>>148654734
It's already shit, getting any sort of nerf is just going to put the final nail in the coffin.
>>148653093
Depend on how quick they add new maps
I think the game will most likeley stabilize at 5k 10k players
>>148654629
The "win match" periodic challenge. I think you get like 50 silver key each hour if you complete it
It begins.
>post-match chat was just a couple of Russians swearing
>>148654901
No, just look at the patch notes. They are very small nerfs, some buffs
>>148654537
I completely agree.
They should shove a pen in their own eyes.
FUCKING BUY THE GAME FOR 10$ IF YOU ARE REALLY NEEDING THOSE PERKS IN A FAST WAY.
>>148655247
>>148654537
Why are you mad that people are trying to cheese a clearly dead game? We probably wouldnt bother with it if the game had more game modes besides chase the monster for 10 mins and either win or lose.
>>148654734
>decoy significantly nerfed in every way
>traversal speed nerfed by 10%, potentially also reducing distance by 10%
>warp blast 0.2 seconds faster if you don't aim it

She's dead Jim.
