>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?
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.

Post questions for a FAQ you fucks

first for Lennox a cute!

REMOVE

WRAITH FAGS

will we ever get a hunter-centric thread edition?

Why the fuck is Wraith so sexual

Have they commented on why they made such a slutty monster?

>tfw win-streak dead
>tfw fallen from grace
>washed up shitter now
>have to claw my way back to the top

the dream is truly over

Parnell is better than Hyde.

propably Giger inspired

Teach me the ways of goliath, senpai!

Good idea.

What hunters should I buy?
What are the best hunters in each role?
What monsters should I buy?
How to counter X, Y, Z?
What perks should I get first as hunter/monster?
When's the best time to use Bucket's cooldown reset(3)?
Is it better to buy perks or characters?
Why is Wraith so CUTE?

okay so you take a rock and you throw it really hard

Fucking germany blocking everything ;_;

Daily reminder that both iterations of Val are the best medics in the game and there's zero reason you should play any other medic.

Still not sure how Laz contributed to that game.

>Torvald

WHY?

god damn this guy is the worst hunter.

>retard shotgun with jarring animation
>balloon farts, monster can actively dodge them, don't even do much dps anyway
>shit frisbee

Parnell is just straight better. I've maxed torvald and I can aim the mortars, but it's such a fucking hassle to aim and not worth the damage.

here
I'd like to say that a tips and tricks pastebin would be good to.

caira > any dumb val

Because she's basically fem-xenomorph, and that one had Freud as co-creator.

OH FUCK DIE DIE SHIT BALLS

Max Rock and Breath? I saw the tourney dude maxing only Leap and Charge, he didn't even pick Rock and Breath just why

>implying you wouldn't

>not being able to land shots as caira

are people this bad? shes the best medic despite only costing 2750

>have 66 win streak as monster
>get hunter
>lose streak
>FUCK

Is Caira still an overpowered pile of shit?

>Grenades that outheal most monster damage with retarded AOE
>Will let her team outrun the monster with insane spammable speed buff
>Can literally climb a mountain tanking damage and just shoot the side and heal for more than you can DPS

Her grenades only heal herself for like 10% of her health at most now

That'd be more tense if it were just Daisy.

tourney meta and pubbie meta is different. Tournament fags are generally better at chasing the monster so you can't afford going into damage skills early on, you need mobility.

>outheal most monster
>insane spammable speed
no

Good, glad to hear it. I might consider reinstalling this POS even though they ripped out stealth because most hunters are braindead retards.

>ruining some stacks 10 win streak

Post your face when all 5 players preference is a hunter and only you and 1 other guy are the same preference and you know one of you are going to be the monster.

>Max breath
Absolutely not, only one point should ever be put into it for ez feeding.

hunters are still braindead retards. most of them.
feel free to outsmart them

Can answer some as wraith player
>What monsters should I buy?
Wraith for low level stomping, gets harder in high-level
>What perks should I get first as hunter/monster?
I'm pretty successful with bronze and silver feeding and gold movement speed
>How to counter Wraith?
Griffin or Jack are very good at preventing warpblasts or traversals

seeing a hunter with a win streak just makes monsters rock hard and ready to win

...

>Have monster as my least preferred
>Still get it
I wouldn't really mind if I had perks or a monster I enjoyed playing ass, but come on man

>implying I don't just leave and requeue

Yeah, but they just made it easier for the braindeads which means no more stealth no more mindgames. Just turned it into "max distance, eat fast, get fast level, dumpster or die."

Hunting was 90% of the fun of the game and they took it out.

That's a start, keep it coming, I'll collect questions and answers

Hey idiots.
Who's more broken Gorgon or Kraken?

I want to get free wins.

>hunting was 90% of the fun
That's something very few people agree with which is why the game died very quickly during the original launch.

The game was awful before
I mean it was fun but matches were too long
You can still trick hunters if you're not retarded yourself

Kraken if you're event remotely decent

Was literally my 4th game as blitz

Every time someone gets medic they leave, nobody wants to play fucking Slim. Slimbot is even more worthless.

>Hunting was 90% of the fun of the game and they took it out.

It was a literal walking sim
It was boring and terrible not "fun"
What was fun about running around the map for 20 minutes?

Oh nothing
That's why the game had less than 200 players before it went free and made changes

>That's something retards who suck at games disagree with
FTFY. I don't play games to appeal to casual braindead masses. I don't play games where players are given medals and ribbons for failing to do something their own basic human physiology could do for them.

I mean christ, hunters were strong as fuck in the base game as long as you could literally use your eyes and split up into groups of two.

>Hunting was 90% of the fun of the game and they took it out.

>the match has a preference for every role
>still fucks it up and gives people random roles
Why

you sound like a shitter they changed the game for

and even then it's not so bad for the hunters
bot is free win and minimum effort

what perks do you use?

Caira is hotter than val
Caira is smarter than val
Caira buffs better than val
Caira heals easier and betterer than val
Caira has better personality than val
Caira has sexier voice than val
Caira isn't a sneaky spy like val

Caira best evolve waifu

>inb4 wraith fags

>preference was trapper>assault>support>medic>monster
>join lobby with 3 assaults and 1 monster
>somehow I get medic
this fucking game

If the hunters are good enough, someone will intercept the rock almost every time.

...

Any tips on how to play Wraith in higher levels? Seriously, I'm having a lot of trouble playing her (still winning a lot though I actually need to put in effort now) now that the Hunters aren't completely braindead retards and actually know what they're doing.

depends on the map but generally bronze and silver feeding+movespeed and gold ability cooldown.

>No speed perks so i lag behind team
>They passed over wraith because it somehow sneaked
>Sneak attack
>They're not turning around
>Decide to just enjoy it

>All these casuals that literally couldn't find or outpace a monster with random birds giving positions on eating even in caves, tracks, tracking darts, speed buffs, tranq darts, stasis mines, split group tactics, using their own eyeballs and ears, etc

I'll take casuals ruining games for 1000, Alex.

Whoa, where did that come from?

I love it how you faggots think that Evolve had "complexity" before

It didn't, it had a ton of time wasting and annoying bullshit

If the team gets to fight the monster AT ALL was on one random faggot who might suck
Literally couldn't win

Stealth was shit because stealth for the monster was so damn easy

It's the same game as before but now matches aren't 30 minutes long and boring

And of course its not as easy for the fucking monster niggers to hide like cunts, but you still can

>m-muh 200 daily players

I want to lick the sweat off Sunny's chest!

Damn now everytime I pounce a hunter this image will flash in my head

>Caira buffs better than val
Val debuffs monster way better than Caira

>Caira best evolve waifu
its Lennox

>a literal dead game becomes alive
>HUR DURRRRRR CASUALSSS RUIN EVERYTHING

The game is objectively better and more fun now

DEATH BY SNU SNU

What if I like both Caira and Wraithfus?

That's not how you meme.

>Think evolve had complexity
I never said it did, I just said that they took tactics out of the game to make it even easier for the braindead hunters that couldn't figure out the basics of the game, much less figure out baby tier mindgames and needed yet even more lists of options ontop of the already insurmountable plethora already available to find and outpace the monster.

>More fun for me because I was a braindead retard who was dying before because I need the game to hold my hand all the way

Still just proving my point further you guys.

This is gay and not nearly as hot when it was a small trap instead of a full on girl.

Nah, don't worry, you'll forget about it in a day.

>old woman sets up a colony
>colony goes to shit, besieged by impossibly ferocious monsters
>old woman gets in a mech and starts punching monsters in the ass

>it's less gay when it's a chick and not a dude

nigga you dumb

They made easy stealth for the monster impossible and made the game not depend on one retard in your team throwing a good dome

Nobody played the original evolve because it was a simple casual game with some incredibly annoying design decisions

The game was not good
Good games don't die in less than a month you retarded fuck

more*

fuck I'm tired

game mode where you're a monster sized lennox 1v1ing monsters when?

>Good games don't die in less than a month
Oh, so CoD is the best game ever then because it always has players. Glad we cleared that up then.

Or you're just a shitter who needs the game to hold his hand because he's braindead from all the hours spent watching anime and playing trash like VNs and JRPGs that play themselves.

Is this from the guy that was asking for wraith pics last thread?

>massive win-streak Goliath from Veeky Forums can't be beat by tourneyfag premades
>gets beat by a ragtag group of randoms with a guy from Veeky Forums

I guess only Veeky Forums can stop Veeky Forums. It's meme magic. What are the fucking odds that someone from here gets matched with another guy from here considering how large the playerbase right now is.

I want a lamia monster
I want a cat monster
I want a minion monster
I want a space monster
I want a mecha monster

Probably reasonably high when you get closer to high level, since I imagine a lot of the /v/ people that actually play video games probably play video games a shit ton

also with fucking Lazarus taking up a medic slot

>I want a cat monster
Are you a homo aswell?

it's perfect. High level monsters are only used to optimized cancer comps. So the only way to beat them is to pick a meme team

Not if i post the uncensored version

>mecha monster
doesn't really fit the lore since all monsters are hna aberrations that spawn from eggs filled with goo

>getting this mad over a game he never even played

The chances of you being one of the 15 people who played evolve before it went free are zero, considering you had to pay money for it

Just got the game installed, never played before

Now, I want to ask, is Gorgon good at all? If I want to get any of the monsters, it'd be her.

yes gorgon is good

gorgon is good but she is getting nerfed next patch

Hunters are too bad at this game even at level 25+, I'm about to just be done with the game.

It's cool and all, but people are just so fucking terrible that the first monster that has half of a brain shits all over them.

>Medics don't heal
>Supports don't shield or use their support ability
>Trackers don't do fuck all
>Assaults talk about how they did 10k damage in a Stage 3 monster match so it wasn't their fault
>No one dodges anything
>Everyone flails around like retarded monkey children while the monster mashes buttons on them

It hasn't gotten better even at this level so what's the point? I get that competitive teams shit on monsters and all but if they buff monsters their playerbase is just going to evaporate.

I have literally 100% winrate over like 40 monster games and I don't even main the things.

they don't spawn from eggs filled with goo, they teleport into eggs filled with goo.

ye

she's getting a 'nerf' next patch but it's more of a fix because apparently the poison dot was applying twice or something

...

Get some friends to play with. Ask around here or on /v/ or some other gayman forum where you don't think the userbase is too cancerous.

nice Microsoft Paint-shop
