>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.
>What's new?
http://www.evolveupdates.com/stage2/
>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.

How do you want your tier list, pham
Since you apparently cannot unlock evolved claw through leveling monsters, anyone buy it? Is it worth it?
>>148784353
This must be some elaborate joke
So I just hit 18, and I'm starting to see the hunters do better as a team. I am actually getting anxious whenever queuing up as a monster now, so I have to get better. What are some things that I should focus on in higher level monster play to not get shit on by Hanks/Vals healing and shielding each other?
>>148783558
Caira and Kala
>Dr. Kala youre so famous!
>I've read all your books! You're a genius!
>As long as you dont go crazy I'm glad youre on the team
Two games later with Caira and Cabot
>CABOT YOU NEED TO GET KALA OFF THIS SHIP
>SHE IS A MENACE AND IS TURNING INTO A MONSTER THAT WILL DESTROY US
>Uh.. I'll look into it Caira
What a bitch
>>148785082
No Kalas the bitch she brings up the monster shit 247 even to hunters who straight up dont care about it.
Her conversations are just FEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL SORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYY FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEE
>watching youtubes and streams
>nobody uses minimap and does just fine finding and tracking monster
maybe its just me and I am the shitter? I can't play without one to plan routs and see where my team mates are
>>148785082
>>148785231
If you read her story, Kala has massive guilt complex because people are dying and she could not solve how the monsters work
So she did this to herself
>>148784353
whoever made this had to be trolling
>>148784874
Specifics depend on the monster you play.
In general, be as much of a coward as you can be in stage 1, but take chances where they present themselves.
When you're stage 2 go to an advantageous location to be domed and try to get as many strikes as you can without loosing too much health.
Do not evolve to stage 3 unless the enemy team has at least 4 strikes in total or 1 member is gone with a long respawn timer, they'll camp the relay and you'll be fucked.
>>148784007
It's done.
The trapper wasn't so bright but this is generally how I do stuff.
>>148784353
This seems more like how my games are actually going. You guys shit on laz but I haven't lost with him yet.
>>148785357
I still dont like her or her design
>tfw Bucket is in charge of the menu
>>148785798

you dont need to
>>148785820
Fuck off hank
>>148784353
>gorgon
>gg
sounds about right
>>148785649
Honestly his strong point is reviving dead bodies, WITHOUT a strike. When you're a monster you don't see an icon anymore for those who died so its easy to lose track of them, and with invis you might never know a revive is going on in a spot. At least thats whats happened to me.
What perks for elder kraken?
Friendly reminder that if you eat a Hunter's body you can prevent Laz from resurrecting.
>>148785649
>>148786358
The 2 nerfs he got were bullshit right next to parnells rage nerf
>>148786109
Thats the most words I seen you say all month, sunshine.
>>148786358
Not really a problem with any monster with aoe or DoTs(all of them). since that shit fucks his cloak.
Also you can just camp bodies until they're dead so Laz has to give a strike to his teammates
>>148786615
The fuck man? You actually enjoy Buckets cooking? I could have sworn the last hunt we had you ate a piece of the fucking monster
>>148784007
They didn't seem very coordinated. You're playing was fine though. Maybe going on the assault during that beach fight was a little iffy but it's hard to tell who's the best target at times.
>>148786635
>you can just camp bodies until they're dead so Laz has to give a strike to his teammates
>Hyde and hank begin laughing deep throaty laughs
Had a dude do this last game when I was hyde. Easiest win of my fucking life.
>>148784353
>griffin worst trapper
>hyde worst assault
>torvald best assault
>Laz best medic
>bucket best support
What the fuck
>>148787197
It's works better with some monsters than others.
>>148786813
God dammit don't remind me. The first time the thing dies and it actually has an unfried brain and Mr. Melty over here has to go and actually EAT it. Now I have a queasy stomach and I STILL don't have a sample.
>>148786635
Unless in the battle you lose track where those bodies are. Has happened to me but I'm learning now. Usually just catches me off guard because I afk at loading and never know what hunters they're running. But yeah, laz basically punishes not paying enough attention to whether all the pieces are still in place on the map.
>>148787186
Definitely a mistake in hindsight but I really hate lennox, so I was hoping I could give her a strike.
>>148784819
Apparently it's pretty good on goliaths. I don't have it too but it seems like a decent Damage Over Time in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvj_aGuUHnw
This is stupid
They just keep fucking nerfing the monsters
You can't even play at level 30 because there is NOBODY playing as the fucking monsters after level 20 because they suck
>>148787542
stop this autism
>lobby somehow created with 4 people

This fucking stupid shit needs to stop
>>148784819
>>148788223
Claw is fine but it suffers the same thing the other perks do. Theyre not feedingspeed/movespeed and theyre not cooldown.
If the game ever takes a turn towards more stealth gameplay you might not need the feeding speed perk and can afford the silver claws but nothings going to beat cooldown
>>148788223
>Torvald on enemy team
Ehehehehe I wonder why he won ehehehehe

Yo hold the fucking phone
This game has fucking figures?
Of like 2 monsters and 2 trappers and 1 support?
>Some of the monsters are very clearly balanced around retreating and eating more
>They made it impossible to escape by giving the hunters a planet scanner ever 20 seconds
this game is retarded

>It's not a wraith in a school girl outfit
>>148789725
>No assaults
>only can buy the Goliath
its dead jim
>>148789760
You're clearly supposed to spend most of your time playing as the Hunters
Its where basically all of the effort from the developers goes
Which is odd because playing as a Monster is something you cant really do in any other game, so you'd think they'd give a shit
Planet scanner should stop working after initial contact with the monster. It's nearly impossible to retreat and get away otherwise. You can do it but it's really hard
Overall the game is a 6/10, has some cool ideas but the developers have a really clear bias and it's been there since it came out. Don't expect it to ever be fixed. They'll keep nerfing the monsters and buffing/adding more hunters.
So like the jetpack perk on hunters, what's one gold perk for all monsters that is worth maxing?
>>148790004
If you have 2,200 dollarydoos to literally waste then you can buy this Kraken statue and have it sent to your golden trailer park.

I can imagine Parnell, Abe and Jack sitting on board of their ship in a circle and reading chinese picture books
>Game says wraith turns invisible when she uses her decoy
>she doesn't
what the fuck I always get shot
>use decoy
>it runs off
>hunters go around it and shoot me in the back despite being "invisible"
>>148789725
I'd buy a slutty wraith figure just to hot glue it and post on here.
>>148790378
I could have swore that I used decoy once and I turned invisible for a few seconds but I haven't been able to pull it off since
I think they just straight up took out the ability to turn invisible for wraith and somehow I triggered a 1/1000 bug since the code is still in the game for it
>>148790235
skill cooldown obviously so you can spam more during fights, the other two slots are there to complement your play style
>>148790568
>>148790378
invisible means you turn transparent with a blue glow
its easy as fuck to see
>>148789760
it's almost impossible to lose the hunters once they find you the first time. sure the monsters are quick but the maps are so fucking open and comparatively small that it's not really hard to chase it down. plus they seem to be ovals instead of circles or squares so you can just herd the fucker to one end and corner it.
it's so fucking stacked in the hunter's favor at any stage of the game it's insane. the monster has to take time to feed and evolve, but taking time is a hunter win condition. every monster save goliaths and behemoth cannot afford to get caught stage 1 so they need to sneak, but lmao planet scanner. and even when you're stage 3 and are supposed to be fucking godzilla incarnate, they just camp the shit out of the relay with hank and rval, and unless you got lucky strikes early you're fucked.
>>148790378
>>148790568
I've died trying this
I tried to use Gorgons "Mimic" too
>mimic will explode, dealing damage to the hunters
>it doesnt do any damage to anything
>game says wraith turns invisible when using her decoy
>she doesnt
>behemoths lava bomb will explode and the preview video shows it having a bunch of secondary explosions
>it looks nothing like in the video
What the fuck is Turtle Rock doing?
is this game good?
it seems good
>>148785283
That's because usually they play with a 4 man stack and already have some kind of teamplay / communication
OR their teammates are the ones finding the monster for them
Playing on a solo queue there is no reason to not play with your minimap open during the whole game, it's so much easier to see the "edges" of the map where you can trap the monster.
>>148790975
It's good up until level 20 if you want to play monster, because they're only really viable against noobs
It's good if you like playing hunter
>>148790975
wanna play monsters? yes?then _no
wanna play hunters? yes?then yes
>>148790938
Thats how those abilities used to work but were changed
Wraith used to go invisible but people just went invisible in the dome and by the time you found her again she could just go invisible again
Gorgons mimic does still explode and deal damage to the hunters but if you dont manually detonate it before its destroyed then it wont do fuck all
Behemoths lava bomb being changed to the way it is was just to make it easier/more consistent i think
>>148790279
>Holy shit man what if these monsters were like monster girls in that comic you got Parnell?
>Abe that is the single dumbest thing I heard this week
>>148790906
I think I'm officially done with this game
Even winning as monster isn't fun and playing monster is the only thing I find interesting
It was REALLY fun at first, but they keep fucking nerfing every monster
And hunters have so much god damn content and variety, while monsters have little and are predictable once you're past level 15, making it much harder to win because everyone knows the strategies to beat you
Meanwhile for monster players, you have to know how to counter like 15 different fucking characters

>>148791878
>I don't play monster
If you actually played monster, especially in ranked where people are coordinated, you'd know focus priority and engagement rules change depending on the hunter comp. Always going medic>support>rest is what noob monsters do and how they get rekt by competent hunter teams.
>>148792025
stomping under 20s doesn't make you even remotely decent that's why we have so many salty and shit monster players

I've had it muted since the betas. I don't need to listen to some underage retard saying snarky shit or whining or trying to bark orders.
>>148784353
The only thing right is EMET and Wraith.
>>148792357
Yeah sounds like your projecting your rage on anon. Understandable since you literally cannot carry as 1 person while playing hunters, you have to rely on also having a competent team.
Something tells me though your overly negative opinion is why monsters are becoming less and less first pick.
>>148791878
I miss being level 15 too.
>>148792645
I have a mic just to say stuff like "It's going this way", "I need heals", "We should go to the relay". Really don't want to talk much or be bossypartly because I'm insecure as hell.
>>148792357
>>148791878
This, monster fags are so fucking retarded thinking it's difficult. It couldn't be more braindead straightforward, you just literally can't fucking play the game if you're losing.
Is maggie actually any good? She seems worthless against wraith.
>>148792897
naturally
every shitty monster only player like you misses it :3c
it's the only time when you were winning more than every 3rd or 4th match kek
>>148793087
She's solid. just make sure you have your traps set up 24/7 and you'll be fine. Daisy is also really annoying for the monster because of her revives.
>>148793051
>You must be bad if you're losing as monster
>Meanwhile in the latest tournament some of the best monsters in the world ended up 3-15
Yeah, go get a team to show those shitters how to play monster, they must all be doing something wrong since the original release.
>>148793263
I mostly play Hunter actually.
You can go on thinking you're witty though since you're already used to being a delusional moron.
>>148790179
What if you got a new planet scanner use for every time the monster evolves?
>>148793570
>B-but the official tourney players
Then they suck too, probably why they were playing a shitty dead game like Evolve for tourneys instead of actually popular games that probably take skill to play.
>>148793570
A "competetive" team from a pool of 200 players.
>>148793390
>Daisy
game tells me she leads me to the monster
how do read her behavior? just follow her?
>>148793747
Right, so you're a pathetic troll. Thanks for clearing that up.
Why you waste your time trolling on threads of game you seemingly hate I have no idea. Must be sad having a shitty life where that's the only semi-productive thing you can do.
>>148793957
Daisy more or less just runs after the trails/the rest of the team. She's not very useful now since the game is less stealth oriented so it's really better to just find the monster yourself, she's handy as a distraction/helping people up that get downed but other than that doesn't have much use.
>>148793627
#wordscanhurt
>>148793957
Yeah, she's pretty damn reliable, some argue she's useless but I think she's decent as long as 3 other people know to maneuver to cut off the monster instead of tag along with you and Daisy, it helps that she gives you a 15% move speed buff too when you're within 15m of her. I'm thinking of trying a Sanic Maggie perk build next time I'm on.
>>148793957
Trick question. Daisy is mostly useless except for sneaky revives. Reading the map and using the planet scanner is infinitely more useful than Daisy's tracking.
>>148794192
>it helps that she gives you a 15% move speed buff too when you're within 15m of her
Holy shit really?! I had no idea.
>>148794084
I don't hate this game, I just got done playing it. Just agreeing with the one guy that monster is pathetically easy to play and if you're honest to god having trouble at any level, maybe visual novels would be a better way to spend your time.

Laz is pretty shit if you know to focus his ass. But yea what the fuck is bucket going to do to keep me off laz? Absolutely nothing.
>>148794956
Bucket has a double shield use if he isn't stupid, he can easily keep his team alive including a poor medic so I understand the rage.
>>148792273
I've found people are helpful occasionally, it could cost you the round if you just mute by default.

>>148796789
Keep shooting, if the monsters focusing you that means hes right up on your dick which meanas all your pellets are hitting which meanas youre getting your healburst super quick
Slims a shitty medic though
Gorgon or Elder/Kraken
Who Would be better late game.
>>148796550
>they're not video games though
That's not a debatable topic anymore, Tell Tell games, Gone home and various other games are just VN's spliced with gameplay.
Can't argue against them being digital picture books though or the man children latch themselves onto them, but you could really say the same for most fiction.

>>148797412
There was a gamemode where you had to kill eggs and/or kill the monster before the eggs hatched Stage 1 Goliaths, thought that was pretty cool but it was a while ago so I probably forget some details.
Apparently it's coming back so I'm pretty hype.
>>148797374
I thought Meteor Goliath was everything Goliath has but with extra fire damage on top of it.
>>148797374
Abe's to high
Bucket is to high
Caira is to low
Goliath is to high
Elder Kraken is to low
Parnnel is that a joke?
cabbot okay I get it this is a joke
Emet to high
Wasteland maggie to high
Meteor Goliath to low He's legitimately better than real Goliath.
>>148797374
>emet and parnell that high
>>148797794
>Apparently it's coming back so I'm pretty hype.
Thank God. If they stick to nothing but hunt they'll kill the game before they get it balanced at this rate. This game has everything it needs to be a great game, all the devs need to do is get their shit together and actually be competent.
What do you guys think of Cabot?
I hardly ever hear anything about him, is he good, bad, fun, boring or what?
>>148797964
laz+parnell+abe+cabot is a really fucking horrifying comp to go against if the players are good.
>>148797979
he's outdated
>>148797979
I think he's a cunt.
>>148798130
How so?
>>148797979
He's just okay. He's got a good multipurpose kit but it doesnt matter too much when shielding teammates is more important that offensive tools
He's usable but you need to know what you're doing
>>148797907
>to
>>148797979
Cabbot has really cool dropship conversations
His rail gun is really fun to use, and pop monsters through walls.
His dust tagging is needs a buff and is mostly rendered useless by planet scan.
His damage boost got nerfed and fucked a long while ago and now people think he's shit.which he probably is to be honest.
>>148797979
he's a skill pick, you've gotta be able to rely on your ENTIRE team since he doesn't have any direct way to protect himself or others.other than the support class ability.
You haven't lived until you've seen a maxed stack lennox crushing the monster that has a damage amp on it.
>>148798189
dust tagging is fucking useless
>>148796546
who will find out?
>>148798346
Overwatch?
>>148797979
Due to BS armor regen he can stop it.
There was a time when he was considered a second assault on the team
>>148797979
Cabot is fairly weak. His railgun is alright for damage but you're a support. His damage amp is only ever useful when the monster's choosing to stay after a dome. His orbital ability is basically a long delay tracking dart, so essentially only good when your trapper is braindead. Hell, everything about cabot screams "My team fucking sucks so let me help them do their job a bit." He can easily help the trapper and assault get their shit together, but then you just have a team who essentially has a "good" trapper and assault, but no support.
>>148798235
English grammar is far too complicated for me.
So I stick to debunking tier lists.
>>148797374
In what world is MG worse than regular?
>>148798553
The world above level 12.
>>148798627
Meteor Goliath is better a good monster player can make any monster flourish.
But MG still is better than G.
>>148798627
I'm 20 and I don't see normal goliaths anywhere.
>>148798802
is it me or is MG impossible to dodge?
everytime he charges its like a great chinese wall comming at me
>>148799014
Have you tried double-tapping spacebar without pressing any direction keys? It sends you dashing straight vertical, completely evading Charge.
>>148799014
His charge goes further than regular goliath,
His firebreath is like twice as long.
His leap smash is further
Rock smash is the same just sets you on fire.
He's literally Goliath 2.0
>>148799478
>>148799014
Meteor goliaths skills are longer range because they do less damage than goliath. At least initially. Dots arent very good when the hunters are shitting shields and heals.
>>148799728
Ryu is fine but Ken is better.

Dunno, valve vac banned a bunch of CS:GO players doing it, but theirs was more along the lines of circumventing recoil to cheat.
My mouse is set up to do it at different intervals, so it's not 3700 ms on the mark every mark, it changes it a bit.

No backstory will change the HEY GUYS I FUCKED MYSELF UP ISNT THAT SCARY every game. Shut the fuck up bitch godamn. The dude with PTSD whines less

Maybe I should just boost the assault or some shit. At least he can shield if he domes like an idiot.

Okie doke,
what do YOU guys think needs to be done to make the game a bit more fair for the monsters?
>>148801015
>when the monster is medium and just right
>>148801015
Oi that's a roight propa one.
>>148801236
Planet scanner should start on cooldown for one. Increase the cooldown by 5-10 seconds
That alone would help a shitload.
>>148801236
Lengthen the Planet Scanner's cooldown for starters. Maybe also make it slightly vaguer.

i land nice harpoons but his smg hardly does any damage that it sounds more effective to stay on the harpoon gun

trapper damage in general is pretty mediocre. Just whip out your gun when the monster targets you and shoot him while you escape. When he turned around to focus someone else, bring the harpoon gun back out
>>148801782
>Even the turrets
This isjust right.

Why does Hyde get the best convos in the game?
He also feels like he's strapped to half a ton worth of guns and fuel when he huffs and puff at every jump.
>>148802615
>He also feels like he's strapped to half a ton worth of guns and fuel when he huffs and puff at every jump.
because he is
and he's not wearing power armor while doing it
hey goys what are the best hunter comps/individual hunters?
any hunter capable of carrying a subpar team with good play?
>>148802769
Rogue val or sunny
>>148802751
Exactly.
He's just here with his dirty shirt, his beard and his bro lazarus. He even talked maggie into strapping a flamethrower on daisy. Living the dream.
>>148803147
Do hunters get special dialogue when lazarus rezes them? Does hyde get lines when lazarus gets him up?
>>148802769
Blitz Markov, Sunny, Griffin, Val/Rogue Val is probably one of the better teams if not the best.
Lennox, Markov, Hank, Abe, Crow and Caira are all really good too.
>any hunter capable of carrying a subpar team with good play?
Well depends on how subpar they are and how bad the monster is, you can never solo the monster. Communication and teamwork is crucial for winning andthis game's slowly breaking my social anxiety by forcing me to talk.
Are there hacks for this game or something? Just played a game where their assault (Lennox) kept disappearing and appearing right on my head no matter how fast I moved
>>148803147
>>148803334
Everyone expect Hyde is afraid of getting rezzed by laz
>>148803408
yeah there is, that seems like a pretty common one
if trs wasn't a shitty as it is it would have ensured there was some kind of anti-heat in place for the f2p version from the beginning
>>148803424
Any lines you remember? I'd really appreciate it since so far I've never seen a laz rez someone.
>everyone hates slim
>medic change to someone else!
I haven't even unlocked any hunters yet. Maybe I'll buy Caira. She was pretty damn fun to play.
>>148803408
There's some guy named testing who has teleport hack and a bunch of other hacks, so yes
>>148803801
I remember one for Abe
>Hey Lazarus man we gotta talk
>What is it you require Abraham?
>Its about your glove
>Hm?
>Well you used it on me the other day and I keep getting nightmares
I forgot the rest but the entire thing was how Abe was afraid of the thin
>bronze damage, silver reload, gold damage
Melt some fuckin' face: the perk setup. Maximum dps with gas nade uptime, nade always pops right as your flamethrower reaches the end and your flamethrower reloads right as you switch back.
>>148790179
In fact, Escape from a Dome Lose is pretty easy, With Wraith you can use Decoy to make sometime, With Kraken(Elder too) Spam all you Skills while you are moving....
>>148804137
I prefer bronze damage,Silver swap speed and gold damage
>>148803897
Caira's good and cheap. Can't go wrong buying her. Also she broes it up with Markov.
I wish I understood how people have fun as the monster. Getting to level 30 now and I thought I'd try it and it's just not any fun getting constantly pinned down and beaten every single game.
>>148804168

>>148804675
Marbo please, sunny has a nuke already.
>>148804137
>nade always pops right as your flamethrower reaches the end and your flamethrower reloads right as you switch back
you can do that without reload perks
>>148804110
>Laz assumes that Abe has a small brain
>>148804291
Should I get capacity as caira or reload?
>>148805082
reload
>>148805082
I have caira at 37 and I've found that regen or jeptack dodge/reload/reload is REALLY strong.
>>148804870
You what
>>148783558

Man it sucks that they gave the akimbo pistols to Jack though.
>>148783558
<Seen that?
>Thought Squire was pointing
>Look down
MOTHERFUCKER IF YOU PUNCH ME I SWEAR TO GOD
Caira loves the BBD.
Am I supposed to be treating Maggie's harpoon mines like turrets? High ground, lots of visibility to the monster? Is the range even decent enough?
>>148805343
tell me about the regen perks?
>>148804846
I still want a Catachan tier trapper

>>148805947
Bronze health regen is useful for when you've taken some damage but can't afford to use healing nades on yourself, but really it's a tossup between regen, jetpack dodge and movespeed. But Silver and Gold perks MUST be reload speed with Caira IMO.

I get you funny American, all I say is truth dome is not so big deal, use abilities and hunters they will not kill you. Learn to hide right they will not catch you.
>>148807610
>>148790179
Stop Crying fag, learn how to use it.
Stop fucking doming monsters while alone god dammit. I fucking hate people. We would have won if this idiot could have waited another 10 seconds.

So, if I buy a boxed copy of Evolve I'll get the Founder's pack, right? Local Wal-Mart has Xbone and I think PC boxed, might grab them for a few dollars each.
>>148810181
why both? just get the pc one
Bucket, Torvald on the team.
Welp, G fuckin G
Do you guys think this will keep the game alive?
>>148812129
maybe
I want to learn more about Val's adventures as a covert operative!
I also want to learn more about how Val is sobeautiful!
>>148810845
Because I plan to play on both platforms.
>>148812129
most definitely
>>148792025source?
>>148812129
Yes. Even if a F2P game is shit people will still play it. Will they make a bunch of money though? Probably not.

Reminder that this patch is going to murder Monsters some more, not balance them.
Sunny/Lennox/etc were straight up broken. Now they're going to be strong (with Lennox also being able to melt the monster at all distances she'll be broken in another way)
>>148814092
Buff monsters all they want
just take away the godamn armor regen
and bring arena back
