Emet is shit

I main slim, if I make a script that presses 4 every 0.5 secs would that be cheating? Will TRS ban me?

>>152927416
Who knows. Apparently people are getting banned regardless if they cheat or not.

thread is literally on its last legs
if it dies before 100 mark dont make anymore

Churning out gimmicks instead of fixing problems that existed long before stage 2, TRS should be an example of what not to do in game development

So I played the Deep Dark, and here's what I think.

Pros:
>Interesting voice-over
>Fighting 10 Gorgons at once was cool
>Dramatic lightning actually adds a lot to the game

Cons:
>voice-over got repetitive real quick
>the map was insanely linear and the enemies attacked at the same part each time

I liked the direction of the map, but I wouldn't play such a linear gamemode multiple times, especially since it seems to be more of an experience rather than a level. Love the atmosphere though, and the Gorgon skin was fucking badass.

>>152930809
Deepest Dark or whatever it's called is so stupid. They should just release the old modes back. Yes, these modes will be broken but they can only fix it through our feedback. Feedback of thousands of players will be better than their small QA team.

Also, why the fuck are new maps not out yet? too small for the planet scanner you say? Just blend two of them together, Idk do something TRS SAVE YOUR FUCKING GAME.

I wish this game wasn't fun but it really is.

>>152931567
As much as I hate the people who play this game, it's still a guilty pleasure. I'll ride it out until the bitter end, but I've given up on seeing Behemoth or any maps come back
At least Paladin Parnell might be fun to mess with before the patch kills whats left of the game

>>152932934
I don't know what any of those are.

>>152936461
They're all games, not sure why he's listing them

Just found out daisy is affected by Maggies perks by randomly playing with a trs dev. Might try the full movement speed setup he was doing

>>152938338
>TRS devs playing the game
uh oh they probably saw some of the shit i said in chat

>>152938338

Tried it and it improves Daisy a little bit, but her AI can't be helped. Also, you still need someone to follow Daisy and because you're the trapper, you'll need to rely on one of the other hunters to do so.

>>152939590
First game I tried it daisy got stuck at spawn. Trs dev actually made her look good when he played as her

>>152940127

The problem is, is that you need to be literally next to her for her to start tracking. If no one is next to her, she stops tracking and becomes retarded. And sometimes, even when you are next to her, she doesn't even function and will get stuck on the terrain.

>>152940408
I get that, she just wouldn't move period. Maggie is better than I originally thought at least. She's no Abe or crow but she did pretty well. Gonna start playing as her and try to actually git gud with her harpoon traps since I need a new trapper to play as

>>152940654

Ya her AI completely borks sometimes. I recommend trying Jack once you get bored of Maggie if you haven't already tried him. Personally, he's my favorite trapper just because of how good the repulsor is. In my opinion it can be better than Griffin because not only can it be used to save your teammates, but it also increases his personal survivability tenfold. I've had games where I was the last survivor after a near team wipe and survived the till the drop ship timer just be properly kiting, dodging, and using the repulsor.

>>152927416
No you won't. make 10 ms and turn your script on only when fighting monster so you can have 5 bursts per clip

Trying out wraith since hunters stopped playing, wow you can't afford not to get out the second the dome drops, you have waay too little health to commit further. Renegabe is literally your worst nightmare.

>>152942385
I know what that's like as a gorgon player. The small amount of health means Cabot is actually scary as fuck and the chase damage from renegabe is insane.

I have to wonder, is the game really dying because TRS are just genuine idiots at balancing/updating games, or is it because the general video game player these days isn't interested in asymmetrical gameplay like this?

I fucking love this game of gameplay, loved the fuck out of the Versus mode in L4D 1 and 2, but you really don't see a lot of this stuff in games, which makes me wonder if there's even really a market for it. Pretty sure L4D was way more popular for it's campaign mode too, though I really didn't care about that.

>>152944395
Its both
There was never enough to keep casuals interested. Playing the monster was too intimidating for a lot of people which left semi-repetitive hunter play. The multiplayer focus/lack of a proper campaign was enough to eventually turn people away
Really, Evolve is a niche game that never should have been shown/hyped as a AAA game. You had everything you needed for a budget game with an average but dedicated fanbase, but everyone (both devs and casuals) thought it could be so much more. That wouldnt have been so bad if TRS and 2K didn't make every bad decision possible along the way, with misleading season passes and the inability to fix things

>no parnell man eater skin in store

Wow great AAA post and reading comprehension, my tranny friend.

they've fucked up the whole game in just 2 patches like they are speeding up its death on purpose again

and the retarded playerbase is repeatedly leaving lobbies in coop just to get to play that shit new wraith trap variant even though it's absolute shit, it's a challenge to get to play a single game now

>>152947995

I didn't think it was possible to lose in the new garbage spoopy map variant but it sure is. It takes 2 special retards though to fuck it up. One is not enough. Caught me off guard.

It'd help if their Dankest Meme map wasn't hot hot garbage. It's an utter shit show, you follow a path and kill retarded AI monsters that die if you sneeze on them, then you fight a big retarded AI monster with no fucking armor.
The only reward I care about is Paladin Parnell, and I'm a founder so I get him for free.

Every update TRS just show that they've left an inept skeleton crew in charge on Evolve while their "A team" (if it could even be said that TRS have one) works on some new game to keep the studio afloat.

>>152956381
yeah you can go fuck off if you don't want to play them for the "event", nobody gives a shit about you or hunt or ranked especially with the speed exploit around, you fucking nonce

>>152956448

>nobody gives a shit about hunt

Hunt is literally all there is to care about in this game. If you're one of those retards who is so shit they can only win again a bot monster then you promptly need to end yourself.
It's because of spastics like you that they've been dumbing down EVERY aspect of the fucking game.

>>152958309
There's no point in playing Hunt right now when it's so easily exploitable. If you're in a premade then you will be using the exploit to gain an edge, if not then you will be playing with literal fucking pubbie retards that can and will drag you down. And playing monster? You're on the receiving end of the exploit dickings.

Get off your high horse, little wank stain. Nobody's impressed by your premade team wins against literally retarded monster players. Even less when you exploit bugs.

TRS is doing the dumbing down by themselves btw, you vapid dumb cunt.

>>152951068

>>152951068
I played the map once to see how it is. Cleared it then I went back to playing hunt. I don't think your devs realize that new players would rather see new maps more than low effort gimicky bullshit. I don't like the le randomness xd of cataclysm (not to mention the frame drops) and overpowered should be delet immediately. If cata and overpowered had seperate queues I'd be fine but why are they in the hunt queue? Will these mememaps be permanent? I hope not.

>>152958806
Holy Christ do you want some cheese with the whine? Do you understand what an utter bitch you sound like right now?
I play monster, I play with a premade hunter team, and I solo queue hunters, it is easy to find enjoyment in all of these game modes as long as you aren't a salty little faggot who is too retarded to improve, like yourself.

I've watched TRS utterly fuck this game for over a year because they constantly listen to uninformed shitters like you, don't even try to tell me they're "doing it on their own" you tremendous fucking imbecile. I've seen logical suggestions from over a year ago only just getting implemented a month or two ago, again because of the community's voice largely being drowned out by the tide of obnoxious dumb-shits.

Most people who play this game, infact, most people in general are pretty fucking stupid, which is why I suppose it kind of makes sense to TRS for them to try to work their design decisions around them, but the result is the shit-show we have right now.

I can't even begin to imagine how unbelievably autistic you'd have to be to only want to play the co-op mode where the game may as well play itself. It is literally impossible to lose to the bot monster.
Yet somehow I wouldn't be surprised if someone as bad as you found a way to.
You're clearly too stupid for multiplayer games, kindly fuck off, pleb.

Is this game still shit or can I finally go back to fighting my friends as the Monster in normal games?

Because when they made that change it was literally instant uninstalled.

>>152964628
>The game's shit cause I can't fuck with matchnmaking
There's a custom game option if you want to play with friends as the monster.

>>152964175

why is this game f2p with no cash shop?

>>152964891

So basically the game is still shit and expects you and your friends to earn less/no rewards when they play with each other.

so keep it uninstalled. gotcha.

Hopefully one day they make the game fun again.

There's being shit and then there's being so shit you can only beat bot monsters.
One can be improved upon, the other is caused by mental retardation.

One can be improved upon, the other is caused by mental retardation and is incurable.

Any general tips for playing Maggie? Any perk suggestions?
Seems to take god-damn forever for those traps to actually arm.

>>152967626
play a different trapper.
>dog stops tracking if nobody is within 5 feet of it
>traps takeforever to arm and ususally get destroyed before doing anything
>SMG does jack shit for damage
the only advantage you get is that the monster will ignore you because you do almost nothing, which gives you the chance to set up harpoons at escape routes before the dome drops.

>>152968321

This. Maggie is garbage.
Get Grif or Abe.

>>152967626
If you stay with Maggie during chase you've got 15% speed boost. Spam traps inside the dome. Get whatever bronze perk/reload/poison or whatever bronze perk/reload/reload and you are good. Don't listen to shitters who think Maggie is bad. She is very good if you stay with Maggie and spam traps. And don't touch Waggie yet.

>>152968659
>If you stay with Maggie

I mean Daisy ofcourse

>>152968659
yeah, that 15% speed boost really helps you track and cut off the monster when the dog stops every 3 yards because you're not dry humping it.

>12 hours in
>only 7k/100k coop games
I really hope we at least get abe night hunter shit

I keep seeing people talk shit about wasteland maggie.

What makes her so bad?

I've tried her out in practice and nothing seems particularly terrible. Extra fire damage is kinda neat.

I couldn't tell if daisy was doing anything with that flamethrower during combat, though.

Is there some kind of not-so-obvious critical flaw that I just haven't seen or specifically heard of yet?

>>152969245
if it wasn't a shit game mode people would play it more than once.

>>152969315
her dps is better, but her dog doesn't give the speed boost, which makes it worthless and she can only set up one harpoon instead of 3.
she's basically a shitty griffon.
>no sound spikes
>harpoon can be broken before doing anything
>not a priority target so you can't soak for your teammates

>>152969315
Trappers are about CC and she has the worst cc out of all of them. She trades this for damage and she can't even out damage Abe, let alone regular maggie.

>>152969327
I don't know why they chose 100k. The player base is smaller than it was during cataclysm AND it's only counting a game mode that makes up ~20% of the total games.

>>152969614
>>152969683

So the real problem with her, is that her schtick is supposed to be DPS and she doesn't actually get enough of it to make up for the tradeoffs?

Would it fix her if they just, like, eliminated the tracking function from her Daisy entirely and beefed up the hps and damage output so it's like having a mobile bucket turret that hits harder and can revive downed hunters?

I will say this though, the sole reason I haven't bothered trying to play her in an actual match (even coop) after testing her in practice is that her SMG isn't even automatic and I cannot be bothered to fuck up my wrist tapping click to fire.

>>152969683
but, muh two million players!

>>152969951
Daisy has the same ai as the non-wasteland version, meaning the close range flamethrower dog runs away at the first sign of trouble. Beefing up daisy's damage would only slightly alleviate the problem.

>>152969951
fun fact, waisy actually has less HP than daisy.

the only way to fix maggie/waggie is make the dog track on its own with maybe a 50 meter leash on maggie, but if it gets within say 30 of the monster it stays on it regardless of distance from maggie.

>>152968659
>>152968983
You've got other teammates to cut the monster (yeah it's a teamplay coordinated game you know). Btw you should learn Daisy's language, she is basically a constant planet scaner like she is always facing monster and always runs straight on him. Also monster cannot trick you hiding and changing direction if you've got Daisy close to you.

>>152926309
>>I heard the game was dead?
>It was, ~200 players on Steam and little to no updates from the developers. If F2P can bring it back is unknown, but as of right now it's been hovering in the teen thousands.

>>152970365
>maggie follows daisy
>everyone else follows maggie
great plan you got there, buddy.

>you have teammates to cut the monster off
if your team is smart enough to know how to cut off the monster then you don't need daisy to point out where it is.

in both high and low level play maggie is always going to be less useful than any of the other trappers.

>>152970292
Jesus fucking christ that's stupid. How is it possible for a game developer to be so idiotic that they couldn't foresee these mechanics as being a problem when creating wasteland maggie with her combat-avoiding dog being specialized FOR combat?

>>152970345
Yeah it tells you about the fewer hps right in the game's ability text, which I thought was extremely odd for what is supposed to be a more combat-oriented version of Daisy, but, giving the devs too much credit, I assumed it was to offset that Daisy was going to just be dealing that much extra damage that it would take fewer hps to balance her.

On paper the idea seems really cool, but in practice it's a fucking mess, with blatantly obvious problems that seem stupidly easy to fix if given any attention at all.

Another disappointment for the checklist I guess.

>>152970786
Maggie>Griffin inside the dome.

>>152971304
>maggie better than griffon in a dome
harpoon traps either get smahed before they arm by AoE or the monster isn't in range of them by the time they're armed and if they do go off odds are the monster is headin towards them and just smashes them anyway without getting CC'd. at least with griffon you can position yourself to always be effective and if the monster focuses you that means your medic and support are keeping you alive and the monster is wasting its time on something it shouldn't be able to kill.

I really like this game but its not worth playing it now. I really hope TRS get their shit together in time and by that I mean: new(!) maps, better MM and dont nerf the only viable hunters to the ground so they are as shit as the other fucked up hunter and "therefore equal"

There was a hotfix?

Is hackspeed glitch wraith still wasting everyone's time in co-op, forcing timeout victories by being uncatchable?

>>152974315
yes but its too late, hackwraith already claimed victims and bullied coop players out of this game

>>152974431

>>152974431
>hackwraith already claimed victims

Why people have to be so retarded?

They can't catch the wraith even if I am on its ass tagging it with the tracking dart.

Managed to catch it twice on my own but ended up winning by timeout. Wraith didn't evolve to stage 2.

so what are the latest bugs/exploits? is there any info on palanell's kit?

>>152982437
Even retard proof hunters aren't entirely retard proof. They don't take into account players that are medically diagnosed Steam forum posters.

Laz revive!

My last 3 co-op games:

1. Log in and queue for co-op, instantly get the new gorgon swarm map. It's shit and boring. Team still nearly wipes by just standing in environmental hazards and gorgon acid. I save the day AS BUCKET by simply not being retarded, although I do get downed when retard team splits up for no apparent reason while fighting and the gorgon boss focuses me until I get bugged and stuck in the terrain. My turrets finish it off and we win.

2. After a million dropped matchmaking attempts because retards voting or leaving if they don't get their way to try out the new map, I get stuck in an off-role thanks to the shit matchmaking shoving me into a pile with 3 other people who have medic as their primary choice. It's buggy wraith again, and although it can be caught up to, it's still randomly vanishing from where it's supposed to be and appearing halfway across the other side of the map. We win by timeout and I don't even get progress towards my challenges.

3. Another million dropped matchmaking attempts later, I finally get medic by pure luck as another person in the team also had chosen medic. It's still bugwraith but we stick to that motherfucker like white on rice.

Fresh dome on last health pip, and the game freezes. We can still chat, but everyone and everything is frozen in time, unable to perform actions.

Connection to host lost. No progress made.

>complaining about evolve as an overmeme player
Wew.

>>152992002
And what about being someone who plays overwatch, amongst other games, invalidates anything I've said about evolve?

>>152992467
>evolve isn't a perfect game, but it can be fun and at least the characters don't look like cheap-
It would work, too, if they hadn't introduced qaira an egriff.

>>152995562
Egriff is actually pretty cool. Quantum Caira is just a big hot mess. Nothing about her works, even in theory. her mechanics just don't seem to belong in this game.

>>152995845
Qaira would be A-OK if monsters had no forms of knockback, unfortunately 50%-75% of a monsters kit has hard knockback and heavy melees interrupt all player control. I have 0 fucking idea how she even got past the concept stage unless they have massive plans to overhaul the hard crowd control monsters have.

>>152997695
Ah yes, you see they'll remove the current cc perks monsters have and just put them on them by default.

All of them.
Stage 1 for rank 1 of each perk, stage 2 for rank 2 etc.

Each monster will use a different kind but it won't matter because we're also going to make it so every week hunters can only play each role a certain amount of times before only being able to queue for monster until the week ends.

Also we're going to be removing co-op vs AI because we found that hunters were using it to get perks so they could actually fight against monster maining twitch streamers, which we didn't like.

We've been trying to pass the message by increasing the monsters movement speed and making sure it uses -traversal cd perks but hopefully by just removing it we'll have ensured that hunters (which we'll be nerfing) get the hint that they only exist to lose to monster maining twitch streamers (who we love)

Also if you try to enter hunt in a party we're moving you against our in building monster main, Boris from Russia who will instantly down you before you even leave the drop ship.

Enjoy!

You really are an autistic retard and everything your retarded ass spews is baseless and idiotic assumptions. Seriously you need to kill yourself. Fucking salty retard clown.

defense matrix to 35% and causes health loss

markov main gun reduced dmg reduced by 25%, can only plant 1 mine now

parnell reload time increased by 50%

more hank nerfs, shield breaks after 1 goliath swing stage 1, burst breaks after 1 goliath firebreath

global medic burst heal nerfs, vals single target healing reduced by 50%

global trapper nerfs, now only trapper sees compass ping (doesnt move) and loses the wall hacks

abe statis nade reduced to 10% slow

griffin harpoon now takes 5 seconds to reload, and simply turning around to face the harpoon breaks it

crow no longer can pierce, slow gun requires full shot for maximum potentency, can no longer just spam little shots

>>152991376
What the fuck did they do to the bot monsters? Even after a fix they still seem to be faster than before the DD patch and their paths are fucking weird. And they didn't remove the wraith which was never confirmed as an addition.

>>153002986
Qaira could be viable if they made her healing bubbles at least half the size of EMET's healing buoys.

But that would be too toxic for monster gameplay :^)

>>153003476
It looks like they load bot monsters so they always have traversal or damage resistance (or both) perks going and then the bot monsters can just spam their jumps like crazy across the map

>>153003865
That's how it used to be but now they're different from that. They're less predictable at the moment but really inefficient at evolving. And their speed still seems bugged.

First, you must paint a skull on your mask.

Second, unlike every other character in the game, you want to hug whoever gets focused to do your job. Sure you can angle the beam, but it really feels less efficient and reliable than simply hugging whoever the monster is focusing. However, since you can only stop one ability per charge, you want to get out as soon as you use it.

Now, what you want to do is, play a couple of games as monster and get a feel for the cooldown of their abilities. You're not going to do much to gorgon, or anything to a kraken, but:

-you can stop a charge after a couple meters
-you can stop a leap smash after a couple meters
-you can stop a warp blast after a couple meters
-you can stop an abduction after a couple meters

For the most part, I don't bother spending it on traversals because they regen too fast for it to be useful. However, stopping any of those abilities -which pubs rarely dodge- will significantly hamper the monster's burst. This is particularly true of warp blast, a wraith that misses a warp blast basically loses the dome if the assault isn't torvald.

Playing jack really consists in pulling out your repulsor often, but the skill come from learning to pull it out when it's going to be useful because otherwise you're worse than even maggie.

Also, spam that satellite, the cd is ridiculously short and it's a free 200 damage tick.

Now go drop your spaghetti in front of Val again.

ps: also, switch/reload/capacity.

>>153012447
It's amazing, the new map/event is shit but it's the only way the AI doesn't zip away at mach 50.

The AI monsters Goliath and Wraith have their traversal cd fucked up so they can hop around 6 times in a row.

But they'll probably not fix this until the event is over and not extend the event timer.

>>153012653
>The AI monsters Goliath and Wraith have their traversal cd fucked up so they can hop around 6 times in a row.

That I don't know.

What I know for sure is that their movement speed is faster. I dust tagged a Goliath and it fucking out sprinted my jetpack boosts.

>>153012653
At some point in hunt, I glitched out when jumping and started bunny hopping. Couldn't stop to eat, or control the jump arc.

>>153012883
HOW DO THEY MANAGE THIS SHIT

>>153012880
They can dash out of abe's grenades and if you track and or dust them you can watch them go from directly in front of you to the opposite side of the map in less than a minute. How do these retards let this shit go through.

It's another "Goliath can't possibly outrun the hunters" episode

Hey monster players, is the tranq noticeable at all in combat? It feels like the traversal regen rate just shits on it.

>>152997695

What if they allowed qaira to detonate her "mines" in mid air so she can place them more accurately. A big part of the problem is you can't heal people when they are above you or over a cliff, air detonation would be nice. Also maybe some more instant damage on her damage nades would be helpful

why dont they just make the game good?

That shit was weird as fuck.

>>153042013

That's why sometimes I pick Jack since it's inevitable that pub players will group up on me.

>>153042013
I love how pubs think it's a good idea to go to other players when they are targeted by the monster. Why let the monster hit just one person with a skill when they can nail two or more people with it?

The only hunter they should be going to is the assault because that's the only hunter the monster usually needs to actively avoid in domes.

Is matchmaking bugged or something? It's finding only 4 players now.

Fuck off faggot.

They could liven up this game so easily if they just made an "action sack" style game mode.
A mode where the only maps that come up are are the new map variants, and stupid bullshit like a 5 man all-monster free for all, or bringing back arena mode from legacy and shoving that in there.

It'd keep the retarded maps out of the hunt rotation and provide a place you go for when you do actually want to play them, and actually be able to play them since the monster player would know what they're getting into and won't leave the second the map goes throw un-skipped.

>I can't win in S1 anymore, now I have to run after I downed two of them!

>>153056080
I want Griffin to actually be able to do anything to Wraith with his main gimmick. Abduction ignores it I think, warp blast definitely ignores it, decoy obviously ignores it (unless I waste the shot hitting the decoy), supernova obviously ignores it. I basically have zero way of stopping a wraith for more than the nanosecond it takes for a wraith in supernova to swipe once at cable and straight back to murder. Assuming I even hit it whilst it's darting about, but that's a skill issue rather than a game design issue as I see it.

>>153058074
lmao just shoot it until it dies, poon when it tries to traversal away or play crow and fuck it up

>>153058074
Wrong, you can stop the dashes. It's just really inconsistent. Be happy it's not a gorgon or kraken, both don't give a shit about poons.

>>153058074
This is how I feel about all monsters. I just don't like playing Griffin.

>>153058542
Griffin and Jack hard counter goliath, just use it at the right time. Crow is useful against almost any monster. Maggie is ok, mostly underwhelming compared to other hunters. Waggie is absolute garbage

>>153058542
I tried Maggie first thinking 'it's like griffin but THREE harpoons!'. Wow was that ever a mistake. I actually think Maggie could be competitive if she had, say, a little icon visible to hunters showing where a harpoon trap is, like the icon showing that a monster is harpooned. It'd mean they can know how they need to kite it, same as how you know to always, always be moving away from griffin if you're being focused.
As long as your team knows to always move away from you, and you're moving to make that easier, griffin can make life a lot harder for most monsters. In the case of Kraken, where he mostly isn't, your gun is actually REALLY GOOD and you can double up as an extra DPS inside domes or during chases when harpoon is reloading.

MONSTER IN RANGE PRESS F TO DOME is probably the absolute most retarded UI design choice Turtle Rock has made. I can't believe how incredibly awful it is.

TR wants this game to be competitive, right? Then it's UI should do everything possible to encourage smart play. But we didn't even get damage numbers until phase 2.

>>153062783
What if he is assault? If the monster attacks him, his shield will keep him alive until the medic arrives and counters all the monster's effort.

>>153069409
He's the Assault, he's Torvald, and he's about 100 miles away from the team. He got the right idea about leading at the front, but I think he didn't get his map up and therefore forgot that our team was split up. I had no idea whether he put his shield up or not, never had the chance to look at him before he's downed.

We were heading to the same direction, but the dude domed when it would took >8 seconds for anyone other than him to take a shot at the monster and he got punced right at the corner after a high cliff entrance to some cave which makes it a total bitch since you need to jetpack over it first and turn around a corner.

After he's down it was a fuckfest since there's no damage deterrence for the monster to go balls deep.

>>153072451
it's bugged, AI monster is retardedly fast (previously it was quite quick because it could spam traversals when it felt like it and could eat without animations)
and there's a wraith showing up despite it showing a goliath which can be even worse to track

they said they hotfixed it but didn't really but that's just TRS for you

Good luck then, cause some people don't join that shit.

What are some good perks for monster? I'm guessing that just stacking cooldown reduction, feed speed, or damage reduction if you are a tremendous cunt?

>>153075375
I've pretty much always ran triple grounder because it's nothing except 'if i start focusing you it's as hard as possible for you to get out of the way'. Triple DR is also really good, but if the hunters are good enough at evasion or have one of the stronger healers, you can find it too difficult to actually kill anyone.
