My idea for the title was "We're gonna need a more expensive boat". Cause Jaws and microtransactions get it? Get it?!

Evolve Stage 2: Dragoon Grandma VS Sonic the Magma-monster

Magma the Hedgehog is probably a thing. Oh boy According to the turtle rock forums founders are getting an extra 27,000 keys with the next update, and daily challenges are going to 150 instead of 50, along with changes to decoy incoming at some point. They seem to be responsive, at least. Edit: Just got my first wraith kill. It's probably not a good sign that the first kill is on somebody who makes lots of really obvious mistakes. Was Hyde and he spent most of his stage 1 attacking my shield right next to his decoy so I could torch both of them. Mister Bup fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Jul 12, 2016 |

Just had a decent medic during a wraith kill. Did a great job keeping on to whoever was getting focused down by the wraith and killed it on the second dome only having downed two hunters. Then I noticed they had dc'd and it was a bot.

ChickenHeart posted:2. SHOOTING THE MONSTER REGENERATES HIS STAMINA For the love of god, don't plink away at the monster from across the map if your team is trying to catch up to it for a dome-ing (unless you're sporting a tranquilizer/tracking gun). long-range fighting's pretty much only for when you're on the defensive or chipping away that last sliver of armor to put pressure on the monster whoops. sorry team.

Gunder posted:What about Rogue Val's ticking poison damage? Does that help recharge the monster's stamina? Just that by itself won't no, but if you hit the monster with the poison damage you'll put him in combat, and stamina regens super quick for monsters on combat. Of course that's not to say that you should never not hit the monster when it's running away, if it's trying to jump away and eat to get armor back and you can shoot him to stop it then totally do it. If he's going to die the next time he gets shot then totally do that too. I almost always shoot as well if i know i'm going to be doing health damage, just to add on a bit of insult to injury after a dome is over, but after that you should generally leave the monster and alone and just chase.

In the same vein, there was talk the other day about how the monster's armor decayed if it was domed and not in combat. They changed that, now if it can stay out of combat and not move, it's armor starts refilling, so we should've been hunting it down.

Mister Bup posted:I just consider it a starter pack. A ton of the daily rewards are replaced with keys since you unlocked them already and you've got a good base of characters to pick from so you're not stuck learning with awkward free week heroes like caira. Asking as a noob, what's wrong with Caira? Shooting exploding green healing balls at teammates is inexplicably lots of fun for me, and the speed boost can be pretty clutch at times. Is her heal underpowered? Or do you have to be on the ball (heh) with the fire grenades too, which I've been mostly ignoring? I haven't really played the other supports so I don't know how she compares.

I had an invisible monster thing happen in my last bot game, to test out Torvald. Dunno if it'll happen in multiplayer, let's find out!

I have a lot of caira games where it feels like we don't even have a healer.

I dropped in with a group of friends playing after having never played evolve before. Caira makes me wish overwatch's new support was a heal grenadier instead of a heal sniper. I usually just open every fight with a fire grenade salvo and let the dot tick while I swap to healing grenades. I have no idea if this is what I should be doing, but it feels like what I should be doing.

I think they're panicking. they did not expect the reboot to go so well. The game has been bouncing back and forth between 25000 and 50000 players. At one time the game was the 10th most played game on Steam. So , I think that they are pretty eager to keep that momentum.

Yes, make sure to either get the following: Evolve + DLC Pack Monster Hunter Edition (if you want basically everything unlocked) Evolve + DLC Pack + Hunting Season Pass. (Sames as monster hunter edition but you have to buy separately)

I really enjoyed playing this back in the free beta time, but I took one look at the crazy DLC scheme and stayed far far away. I'm getting back into it again but I wish they'd put a little more information in the game. Let me see what my teammates' abilities do while I'm waiting in the lobby. Maybe some actual damage numbers when I'm picking a character. Or got forbid more than a one line summary of my abilities. For example: The game tells me a stasis grenade slows the monster, but I have no info on how much, how long it lasts, or how the area of effect works. A lot of this stuff is online but it would be nice to know during a game, and a lot of it seems out of date now.

Stanley Pain posted:Really like how they cleaned up the graphics as well. So something interesting happened to me the last time I played. After a match finished, I caught a glimpse of the old post-match report. The one that showed you where everyone went, when, and what actions were taken along the way. I miss that thing and I really wonder why they ever got rid of it.  I also wonder why I was able to see it for about 2 seconds before the UI realized it made a mistake and whisked me away back to the usual post-match readouts.

Do they still have that really grindy progression system which breaks matchmaking at lower progression levels? That really sucked. I had an insane win loss at launch because of it, and got bored clowning on people who had never played an asymmetric game before.
