So far I'm enjoying this game. I do see it getting old quick though. Couple of thoughts: Initially, the Wraith seems overpowered. Saw someone post on reddit that the thing has like a 90% win rate. I'm not crying and backing out of the game if I see one like some people have been but it's so far been the least fun part of the game. It seems like you chase the thing for 15 minutes until it hits level 3 then flock to the power station so it can promptly wipe out your team in 30 seconds. I'm also wondering if it's because people haven't unlocked the right gear or characters. I'll hold off on judgement for a few weeks. It's the first game I've ragequit in a long time. Not because of difficulty but because the medic on my team literally camped on top a loving rock with a sniper rifle like it was CoD. Didn't help track, didn't help chase. It was enraging. The point is this game is alot better if you have even mildly competent teammates. Based on this thread, I look forward to the thread for The Order which will undoubtedly lead to an actual physical civil war amongst goons.

Flying around as kraken is really fun, but you're a bit squishy, it's hilarious setting off birds on purpose then hiding your mines in the bushes.

Is there a sort of voodoo ritual I need to perform as Maggie to get her harpoons to shoot? I literally was fighting a Goliath for over 2 minutes in this area, all 5 of my traps around it, none ever went off. I even reset them twice to see if maybe they just had bad positions- nothing. vvvvv lol, that guy sure is mad about some skins quaunaut fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Feb 12, 2015 |

There are basically three dimensions on which the harpoon traps can be measured: time to arm, trigger range, and placement range. They are terrible on all three of these axes. You probably just aren't quite close enough.

Harpoon traps don't really bother me as Goliath. As kraken I want to loving cry because I need to fly away and I have to hit that tiny beam now and oh mygodwhyamibleedingfromm-dead

REAL MUSCLE MILK posted: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! Yeah, that progression choice is generally really poor. You can download and play five minutes of the companion app to skip the worst of this, however. snodig posted:Don't know if it has been posted, but you can change the FoV by creating 'autoexec.cfg' in Steamapps\common\EvolveGame\ -- and add: Woah woah woah, the FOV for merc and monster is 60? I get that 60 is the default for an FPS game, but 60 for third person is really low! Thanks for posting this; I'll be changing these to 90 tonight. Eonwe posted:remember expansion packs? those were good Sadly you can blame some of the European countries, Korea, and China for killing these. "Expansions" get treated with drastically different and more rigorous/expensive rules around certification and approval than DLC, so devs will almost always prefer DLC instead given the opportunity.

a cock shaped fruit posted:People keep saying this, TurtleRock have really clearly said that it is in no way their intention to make it competitive - if somewhere down the track, people WANT it to be competitive, they MIGHT entertain the idea, but they are of the opinion that you don't design a game to be competitive - You make the game as good as you can, and if the opportunity arises, then you can entertain that idea. I personally can't think of a single successful game that was built from the ground up to be a competitively played game, that didn't have some kind of legacy that already helped drive it. People keep saying SMITE is but that game still looks terrible in my opinion. They shouldn't have had Ayesee cast one of the first videos of the game as if it was a competitive match then. Also SMITE is only a competitive game because Hi Rez will pump money into it, it's not balanced well, it's a terrible spectator game, and it had no scene.

What service or value to this game has 2K actually provided? Their pricing/versions at launch caused a shitstorm. Their DLC caused a shitstorm. They tried to push esports when the game really isn't suited. That the game is good and fun despite their interference is some sort of miracle.

bonds0097 posted:What's better about movement in NS2? NS2 movement is kind of like Quake movement, in that you build and lose momentum rather than having things like animations cancel out your momentum. A good example is the leap ability from both games. In Evolve you feel like you're going fast in the air but when you hit the ground you lose that extra speed instantly. In Natural selection you can leap and retain your momentum afterwards by jumping. Even if you don't jump you still quickly lose speed on the ground rather than instantly losing it.

Is it just me or is improved stamina the best thing as monster? Lots of hunters seem to be taking the jetpack perk and its really hard to shake them if you don't have the extra leaps/flights.

I see too many monsters not using all their speed to get away. Any dope can hit spacebar (some even know "aim up to go a little further" and "jump off high things to go lots further") but a lot of people ignore the mobility of Charge and Leap Smash. That's two extra jumps on a different cooldown!

I was used to basically ignoring all my abilities unless I was expressly fighting.

Another thing I'm really not liking is that as the monster, I'm basically penalized for winning quickly. I'm actually incentivized to make the match last as long as possible so that I can rack up progression, XP, etc. When I win in 3-4 minutes, I basically don't get jack squat for winning.

With Wraith you need to get the hell out of the Nova burst. As soon as you see it back out and fire at it. At worst the Wraith will Abduct you back in, just try and dash jump out of the way. The Wraith is actually the funniest monster that I find fighting.

Get charge and Leap Smash as your first 2 skills and whenever you get into a fight, use the standard leap mixed with charging and leap smashing to get distance quickly.
