I had a fun game the other day as the wraith. Whenever I got domed, I just sent an illusion out and sat behind a wall while they looked in the opposite direction. After about twenty plus seconds, they would come near me again, and I'd send out another clone. This happened too often.

Just got a great few rounds in. I'm getting pretty decent at Medic- I can keep distance while still keeping my team topped off, and I'm actually decent at sniping. It's a good time. Val's still my favorite between her and Laz- that tranq gun is just way too important to give up on. Also, got my first real round as monster in(Goliath). It was about 15, maybe 20 minutes long. Their trapper kept just barely missing me with the arena, and I'd be able to keep building up more or less in peace. However, they started thinning out what I could eat before I got to 3, so I let them trap me in a small area, and destroyed them where they couldn't get away, couldn't create distance, where I could charge into them all day. They ended up running halfway through that- I took 2 of them, but the others were gone by the time I finished them off. But it got me enough to get to 3. I then killed a few more things to get my armor to max, and made my way to the power relay. Those 2 had about 20 seconds left to live when I got there, so I got it a quarter down- but then they all got in on me. We then had a hell of a battle- god drat is the monster a tough, scary son of a bitch at level 3. I was taking out more than half their health nearly every time I looked at them, and they couldn't stay up to save their life.Only the medic knew how to fight me properly, so I just killed everyone else. Val doesn't heal enough to stop a level 3 from completely murdering. It was a hell of a match. Edit: For the record, I took someone's advice and went 2 into 1 ability and 1 into another for level 1. This way, I had level 3 charge by level 2, and at level 3 I had level 3 fire breath too. Your range means NOTHING to me.

Turtlicious posted:I am surprised every time I play as Kraken and Goliath just how clueless hunters are. They never look up and they never check around corners, multiple times at level 1 I've just charged into a full group of them and then rock thrown after all 4 walked RIGHT PAST me. You know the aviary map, with the biodomes and the tunnels to the outside snowy areas? My favourite thing to do on that map is to go through a tunnel, then jump on top of the tunnel, and watch as all the hunters go past, and then sneak back through the tunnel. It's so amazin'.

I just had the best match as Kraken. Their Assault was right on top of me the entire time except twice when I barely managed to shake them, which was just enough to get to level 3. I downed the Assault last, barely, with like a fifth of a health bar remaining. They managed to stay in the air for an obscene amount of time. Like, 15+ seconds, while jetting up and away from me, and regularly going above the Kraken's effective flight ceiling. Is there a set of perks that lets you do that? Maybe they got one of the Albinos, coupled with the jetpack perk? It felt like they were cheating, except they did eventually come back down.

Yeah, the game has some flaws that it really shouldn't have, especially system design side, but it's quite good fun playing with friends when everyone has mics. I still need to get a full 5 man custom going to see how that experience is when the monster and hunters can crosstalk, but otherwise I'll definitely be playing more.

The difference is that Destiny didn't really change with close teamwork. Evolve does- it's an entirely different game.

Like anyone besides Assault who's playing poorly can really tank the team quickly because you need to be able to kite Monsters in battles with shields, healing, or harpoon traps.

I mean, even without doming Hunters can win, but they really need to be on top of their distance game. One of the maps it's still not great on, since the Power Relay is in a small enclosed area, but most I've seen have the Power Relay in an open area where you can spread out and frustrate him really badly. Honestly, who is most important on the team changes a lot depending on team composition. For example, you can get away with a bad trapper if you're on your game when it comes to movement, and your medic is Val(TRAAAAAAAAANQ). And honestly- I think everyone undervalues a good Hank. That shield is unreal in how powerful it is- it's easily more powerful than any medic, by itself, as long as he can keep himself safe. A strong medic/Hank team I bet could two-man a level 3 monster, given enough skill. Edit: And a general idea of when what classes are most important: Level 1: Trapper > All Level 2: Trapper + Val Level 3: Support + Medic

Perks don't stack with buffs of the same kind, and jetpacks don't recharge while you're in the air, so yeah, that must've been the jump height buff. I think it gives something silly like 400% more height.

I'm having a decent time farting around in this, but I loving hate when games separate the playable classes behind stuff like what they do here. Want to be Bucket? Have fun unlocking him! want to be the final assault class? Enjoy getting there! The game is fun so I don't mind, it's just annoying not being able to play the class you want at start.

I get actual discussion over the critical merits of a game, or expressing disappointment/ anger in a game you spent money on and hate. But this trying to tell other people that they don't actually enjoy something or that they're stupid for enjoying something is some grade A needing to feel superior to others over video game preferences bullshit.

Don't know if it has been posted, but you can change the FoV by creating 'autoexec.cfg' in Steamapps\common\EvolveGame\ -- and add: cl_fov_merc = <from 60 to 120> cl_fov_monsterThirdPerson = <from 60 to 120>

So this game seems pretty fun - the Giant Bomb guys seem to enjoy it! Is this the kind of game I can get away with using a controller on PC? This strikes me as the kind of game best played while reclined in a comfortable stupor

If it helps anyone else, I'm back to running max settings without crashes on an AMD 7970 and 60hz screen. I don't know exactly what did it but all at once I: 1) Re-installed everything in the redist folder in the install directory, 2) Added sys_maxfps = 60 in the system.cfg, 3) Set it to fullscreen windowed mode.

I play trapper too much. Ended up randoming my way into playing medic one round last night. I'm running around being aggressive and speedy and ended up being the first one to find the monster... but oh, right, I'm freaking Val, I don't have a dome. The idiot assault that kept up with me went and got himself pounced by the monster, and because I can't do damage to interrupt him there wasn't anything I could do. We lost pretty quickly.

Is it just me or is Hyde just straight better than Markov? The flame thrower does straight up more damage than the lightening gun at the expensive of needing to actually aim. The mini gun loses out at range for a lot higher medium range damage potential, but you almost never want to engage at really long range anyway. It just alerts the monster which jumps / floats away. The gas grenade does really high damage to a wide area, and has zero arming time. It's only less useful than arc mines in defending the power relay.

The trick to the mines is using them as cover- hunters can hide behind them and the monster has to *really think* about charging over the mines to get to priority targets, which if nothing else will buy a second of hesitation.

I played a couple sets of Evacuation last night, one as Goliath and the other bouncing between Cabot and Abe. As long as you stay focused, it's pretty much guaranteed that playing a full set of Evacuation is enough to unlock the next tier of character for whoever you're playing. It was especially easy with the monster - use your abilities on wildlife as often as possible and you'll have them ranked up in no time. Special thanks to jsr for turning me onto Vortex supremacy with the Kraken. I was only playing with random pubs, but they were actually pretty talkative and fun to shoot the poo poo with. p.s. the advanced character video clips in the video gallery extras are actually surprisingly helpful.
