/evog/ - Evolve General

Oh you run alright, All fucking game.

Any tips for elder kraken? Krakens in general just feel really awkward to move around as.

daily reminder Caira does 125 healing with her grenades. :)

That feel when you harpoon a Goliath out of the air when he tries to jump at your teammate.

Forget about banshee missiles. Max out lightning strike, chain lightning and death spiral.

Fly around and kill wildlife with spiral/lightning strikes and quickly strip the flesh with that tier 1 feeding perk you got.

Haven't lost a match yet, but probably because there's no skillcap on the monsters.

That feel when you pick griffin to do this and you never play against a Goliath

I've been taking all four at the start and leveling everything to max except death spiral.

>Randomly assigned as Medic
>Second time ever playing it
>Fuck up my positioning fighting monster
>Team gets extremely mad at me
>Don't say anything and just take the punches

I hate team games cause I'm so shit and I make everybody mad, is there any way to exclude medic from being played beyond just having it at the bottom of my preference?

Fuck wraiths man jesus christ.

:(

Damn, feel sorry for ya bro. I started playing at the start of the year and i have had a lot of those moments before...

Is the meta of the game still
>"pro" monster players change monsters for the most imba everytime a nerf or a buff comes out.
?

I don't get it, there is a bunch of stuff on their roadmap post they changed to "active" yesterday implying it's now in the game but I haven't seen any changes and there hasn't been any patch or patch notes.

On a 52 win streak as wraith only.

When do the hunters get good?

Bad! Banshee missiles are much too slow to be effective, and firing them close range is a tad innaccurate.

You'll want 2 in lightning strike and 1 in chain/spiral at stage 1, then equally distribute your stage 2 points to each one of those.

The Elder Kraken is incredibly fucking robust and can easily stage 1 wipe a hunter team with little trouble with these skills due to high damage output and AOE effectiveness. Hence you want to build it that way.

How do I play wraith I still lose

I love you user-kun

~

how fast does she fire
is it one grenade per second

>Torvald
>bad

>Playing griffin.
>Final showdown.
>Right before we get albino buff.
>50% reload time reduction.

Your 4 makes your clone do more damage so combo that and win.

Other than leaving not really.
Play ranked in a week.

Ya just gotta learn to play it better. If it doesn't come naturally with time, watch a couple of guides.

When you learn the meta a bit better, you can start seeing other people's faults better too. You could have just fucked the match up just by yourself but other people probably weren't at their a-game either...
>Did someone clearly aggro the monster when they should have clearly taken distance?
>Did the assault do damage or was he one of those half-blind types?
>What was the trapper doing?

Sometimes the monster also can just be too good. I remember playing a lot of matches where the team gave their best and the monster was just more relentless in combat or smart outside of it.

Being the medic is really hard sometimes, even in games that went good and the team won, you still wonder if you could have done more at some points in the match. Since the trapper's dome is now universal, i imagine the monster will go after medics even harder than before too.

Yeah
more heals if you get higher reload time reduction.

I win every game as the monster and only every third or so game as the hunters.
I'm not learning anything other than I hate free2play shitters.

You can always just bail if you get medic
That's kinda dickish though. Medic isn't that hard once you get the hang of it.

>I hate team games cause I'm so shit and I make everybody mad
This is why I like Evolve
When I get tired of teammates I can just go play the monster and punish the hunters vicariously

>Pick Blitz Markov
>Against Behemoth

I am truly sorry for your loss, monster player. I didn't want it to be this way but you're so fat and slow that I had to Tesla your cock off.

do what I do and just player trapper. no one expects you to do anything but press 4.
You only really have to CC if you feel like it.

Wouldn't having banshee add more overall dps over a second early rank in lightning. Also the missile has a wide splash so you can hit people pretty easily with it.

I still have to understand why they made the role selection this way.
I can understand when you have 200 active palyers you can't be picky and you must play every role or you won't ever start a game, but with all these players I would rather wait 2 seconds more in matchmaking to find people that won't rage quit if they don't get the role they wanted

I always just take all four abilities on monsters. Am I doing it wrong?

Also literally what button do I press to evolve

They should only dome you once for the entire match. You should be able to get to stage 2 before they get you the first time, and if/when they do dome you once you escape you're fucking gone for the rest of the match.

You need to wait until they scan you, sneak around obstacles the other way as they try to cut you off, and as soon as you're past the choke point they were going for you dash 3 times and hit 1 and you're across the map. Decoys can be sent when sneaking for added lulz.

>All these people telling him to bail
>No-one informing the op that you can switch classes with someone if you're not comfortable with your class

If someone types in chat or says they fucking suck as medic I'd gladly switch with them to make their gameplay experience better.

Thanks for all the advice, and yeah the monster was always after me first and took everyone else out pretty quickly after. The assault actually left the trapper to die at one point so I think we just got outplayed. I'll keep trying, I just hate letting my team down since I'm still learning.

Does the "use 45% less jetpack fuel while flying" buff apply to dodges?

No, you should always be CC'ing

Everything does shit damage but the Assault, so you should only be shooting IF the monster is CC'd by whatever your character does.

If you don't have a field of slow grenades as Abe permanently up in a Dome for example, you're doing it fucking wrong. Every time it moves, thrown one on it, one between you and it, and one between it and a teammate. Then you get to shoot.

yeah but you're a decent human being

How do you switch? I've never seen it happen?

ahaha people like you are why I play waste land maggie. Hope we play together

how do i play crow?

>mfw i land with slam and proceed to charge half your health away

Not him but he probably means just changing preferences before the team is decided.

Depends on the monster, goliath its optimal but on gorgon youve fucked up.

V

Press escape and it'll bring up the class screen. Whatever class you are now is freed, allowing someone else to press esc to switch to it

I've met a few nice people in Evolve actually, we caught this one Wraith at the start who was having connection issues so he couldn't do anything. We let him get a head-start after he fixed it.

You tell them that you are not good with the class, and ask if someone wants to change, then you just un-lock and lock a different class if the other player un-locks his class too.

Changing without stating was also part of the pre-game meta, at least before. Usually if me and my two friends saw that a person wasn't saying anything or picking a class someone of us un-locked our pick to see if the random player was really interested in playing something else, since even though we wanted to play a particular class every now and then, each one of us could basically play any class if it was actually needed.

There where a lot less players playing back then though...

When you're in the game lobby and picking your character you can "back out", bringing you to the role select screen and leaving your role open to be taken by someone else. You can then take the class they originally had.

To be honest, this game is actually pretty fun.
When i get to play as monster, anyway.
Being a hunter feels incredibly unfun. Its honestly because i dont have a good team.

I get tired of dealing with shitters as well. Not only as hunter but as monster too. Its either an incredibly easy win or guaranteed loss, theres no real middle ground.

Cuck who bought the game in the past here, did they fuck up the balance when they went F2P? Which Monster should I main now? I got em all apparently.

Wraith and Krakens are OP
Gorgon is great fun
Goliaths are balanced
Behemoth is in dev limbo, I won with him and lost with him as well.

Behemoth or goliath.

Should I buy the game?

good joke

4750

>tfw im actually 6-0 on behemoth

Every single game was a massive struggle won by the skin of my teeth. Two of those games i won on my final bar of health.

This kills the dong...

T-thanks user

But I mean it the grind is shit so I'm wondering if getting a founders pack is still worth it bought 3 characters.

Goliath still balanced huh, good guy Goliath. I might go with Kraken or the Elder variety if he's any good. I do love raining death from above.

Also are they STILL working on Behemoth jesus fuck, I remember him melting like snowflakes in fucking hell against certain comps, doesn't help he's as wide as the broadside of a barn.

if you can get it cheap, definitely

Behemoths problems would be largely fixed if they removed his GIGANTIC HUGE UNMISSABLE WEAK SPOT IN THE TUMMY.

Seriously. He's supposed to be this big slow tanky fuck, so heavy he can't even jump, and his literal guts are hanging out of his front making him take four, seven times more damage than every other monster. What the fuck.

If anything, Behemoth should be the one monster that doesn't HAVE any really obvious weak spots. Maybe his eyes or something.

Hes in sort of a good place right now offensively. They made his fireball hurt like hell if you get hit directly so he can actually wombo combo 100-0 if the hunter cant jetpack out of the tongue

The fact that he literally cant stealth anymore and that hes slow as shit means he gets bullied unbelievably bad.

Theyre planning on giving him a hidden passive of some sort, wonder what its going to be.

Maybe something like

Behemoth starts off with no weakspots whatsoever.
As Hunters deal damage to a specific area on its body, they start to carve away the rock, exposing its gooey tissue.
Rocks quickly regenerate if not hit for a while.

>devs give lirik like 90k keys
>he still runs out way before he can buy the perks he wants

LOL

imagine being a F2P player, you have to buy perks AND hunters/monsters, you don't even get the option of leveling up characters to unlock perks instead

The grind must be insane, thankfully I only play monsters so I won't be grinding for very long

The idea is there, you cant even shoot his weakspot until he uses an ability(Thats why they all make him rear up and expose it for 2 seconds while casting)

What does jetpack flight efficiency actually do? Not sure if 20% efficiency is better or worse then 15% recharge speed.

And yet, Behemoths only real way to fight is with the tongue->rock wall->shatter combo, which means he is ALWAYS rearing up.

His melee attack does less damage than fucking wraith for some retard reason, and there is no way in hell he would ever actually catch a hunter just walking towards it since he's so slow. And he can't jump after one either. You could MAYBE get one heavy attack off after rolling towards someone but thats it.

Efficiency only matters when you're hovering, makes the bar drop slower. Hovering fucking sucks, so recharge is better.

Efficiency means how much you use when floating around, not dodging, you use 1/4 of your fuel dodging no matter what.

I kinda figured. Thanks for the clarification.

Just play monster

The key to getting ahead in this game is to buy a founders key from G2A or something for 10 bucks to unlock all but Gorgon and the tier 5/6 hunters. You also get a handful of keys and perks, most notably the gold perks.

Then, you should focus on leveling up every hunter to 11. That way you unlock all the bronze perks, and you can see which hunters unlock which silver perks, and play accordingly.

Only ever spend keys on gold perks and maybe Gorgon if you like her. I personally don't and regret the purchase. Don't buy the tier 5/6 hunters until they go on free rotation and you know for sure you'll enjoy them.

You...do have 10$ to skip hundreds of hours of grind, right?

>behemoth used to deal the most damage of any monster
>despite never being good it was removed

How did they make a character as qt as Caira?

The one time I ever fought a Behemoth we couldn't catch it till stage 3 because it was too fast. it would just roll around the map and evade us.

I asked the group how one is supposed to win against that and they replied "You don't"

>lose to stage 1 Goliath

This is how you know your team is shit

Torvald and Parnell are both bad against wraith and kraken because shotguns aren't good against them. Flamethrower and lightning gun are far superior.

Do any of the monsters unlock the gold CD reduction?

>The one time I ever fought a Behemoth we couldn't catch it till stage 3
Jesus

that's what I did

spent $10 for the key, bought gorgon with the keys I earned and only spent keys on a few gold perks for monster because the grind for them is a guessing game

Whats this girls name again?
Image results just label it at "Person".

>The one time I ever fought a Behemoth we couldn't catch it till stage 3

Katka

Should I get Lazarus or Val?

VAL VAL VAL, Lazarus a shit

Val, no question. Lazarus ability lost a lot of what made it great to begin with and is difficult to utilize (unless you have a team with decent communication).

>the badge COLORS are locked
eat shit Turtle Rock, are you fucking kidding me?

Why don't you play it more and learn how to position and and improve as a player? Instead of being bullied off of it because some random strangers were mad at you

Stop worrying about what other people think of you and focus on getting better

Have 7k keys who should i get?

Are you upset?

It seems like you slowly get colors the more you play. Wish I knew what was the unlock factor but there ya go.

>its the assault that uses only their secondary or wont switch weapons episode
>its the tracker who doesnt use planet scanner on cooldown episode
>its the medic who shoots the monster episode
>its the support who doesnt use the shield episode

i just cant carry 3 shitters. i just cant do it.

also there is a new teleport hack that EVERY monster player seems to use now. they can just teleport out of the dome if they want to, or across the entire map.
