I'm only level 14 I think. But the videos that teach you the class are unskippable, it boggles my mind that people do not know their role and do their job.

Cabot is so awesome. That rail gun is just devastating, he almost feels like having a second assault class out there. Yesterday we were fighting a Kraken who was domed and on the ground for some reason. Headshot after headshot on it, then used the damage amplifier as well. Took that thing out quickly.

Cabot is my dude, wouldn't be surprised if Rail gun got some sort of nerf
Seems like nerfing a rail gun makes it not really be a rail gun anymore, unless they reduce the accuracy of it some.

I don't think any game is really worth $60 when you know they will always drop in price at a fairly consistent rate.
That being said, I have gotten a lot more enjoyment and play time out of this game than I did from many other major retail releases.
The game requires that you learn how to play it, rather than just playing it as you would a typical FPS team vs team or arena shooter. This is a particular kind of game that rewards teamwork and offers little to nothing for the person who wants to run around getting headshots.
I play almost exclusively with a group of friends who know what they are doing, so my experience is subject to those specific conditions. If you don't have friends to play with, then I would not jump in. If you do, then I would not hesitate to pick this game up.

This game is awesome when you have people working together. I really like playing trapper and medic (tranq) because they feel most important to the 'chase' part.
I hope the devs don't tie their patches to console cert like I'm hearing is what is going on, that has killed games on PC in the past when people get tired of waiting and TRS would be stupid to fall into that trap. Evolve especially seems like it has a really high learning curve for the fun factor, high enough that I'm kind of shocked it came out as a modern AAA game with these production values. Player count bleed should be countered as quick as possible.

The game was totally worth $60 for me. Whenever I get tired of shooting things I switch to the monster and switch back when I'm tired of being ganged up on.
Depends. It's a game that to be fully appreciated you need to learn the intracacies of each hunter. It's a game where the monster has a huge advantage over the hunters and none of them stand a chance 1 vs 1. But, a great team of hunters should be able to take now a great monster more times than not.
I'll say that even my pub games have gotten a lot better lately. Part of that may be that I'm higher ranked now and am playing with people who have also put in a decent amount of time. May also be that the casual players are jumping out. Either way, I'm enjoying it more now.

Still having an absolute blast with this game, I love how chaotic and action packed it becomes once the dome goes up and all players are inside. I've been recording some videos of some of my better matches and captured this hilarious one. It felt like something out of a godzilla movie lol.

Another serious error(bug) in the xbox version one is in evacuation with lazarus in the mode of rescue and if you try to revive one of the survivors after death he will not go to the ship transport and stays with you fighting. In that situation you can only kill the monster or wait the death of the survivor because if this happen in the first 2 waves of 2 survivors you cannot progress.
Yeah, mine got reset multiple times, it also hit my hunter ones. Weirdly enough they didn't go to zero though.
I also had a survivor fall through the ground which was infuriating. They need to iron glitches like that out when they have a character whose mechanic hinges on it.

They have with lazarus in the xbox one version a lot of bugs where you cannot revive the people
Sounds like the Xbone version is pretty buggy.They have with lazarus in the xbox one version a lot of bugs where you cannot revive the people
It has a lot more bugs than the PS4 version from what I've played of both. Dunno how that happened.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Ive run into a terrible bug where I cant use my jetpack at all except to dodge.
well microsoft did pay them for some special exclusivity on xbone so maybe that included bugs?
I hope the patch for you guys releases soon, hate to see people who genuinely have fun with the game hit with the progression reset.
Also just played 2 of the most damn enjoyable evacuation rounds with skyzard, deimos and sahr. great games guys
Super fun games, we kicked some ass on that second round.
I have been playing goliath as monster since I hate playing as wraith, no one likes playing against wraith, and I think hunters enjoy playing against a goliath in hunt.
Holy fucking shit, I think I had a mini anyuerism in my last game.
I was against a Lazarus, Maggie, Hank and Markov.
I fucked up pretty early trying to kill the lazarus stage 2, because I killed the Maggie, and I knew that if I left the lazarus would revive her again, nulifying the strike.
So I took a bunch of damage, and ultimately have to leave because the markov and hank are pushing my shit in. And of course the lazarus revives maggie.
Not to mention everytime I go after the lazarus he cloaks and runs, or the hank shields him.
If I had fire breath, it would have been easier, but nope. This stupid mastery system wants me to use rock throw,
I fucking hate the mastery system so much.

don't do the mastery system in multiplayer man. i swear, just do some solo stuff, it'll hurt way less

Man, Goliath really just feels like the right monster.

I got this game on thursday last week, only just had a chance to play it and I struck gold. I played extraction and the bunch of people I was paired with were great and really chilled had a blast. Here is my first win as a monster
(I am getting good at the medic now too

I think Laz is vital in this mode to avoid that stuff. It's hard for the monster to focus him down without survivors just making it to the ship, and you avoid the initial strikes which gives them a larger healthpool to work with.
Haven't tried the Wraith yet, but it's definitely better than the Kraken.
The movement and attacks just feel more natural.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I've had a good amount of wins against Wraiths. You were playing on launch day, people get better as time goes on.
Kraken is my favorite monster to be.

For anyone that has this on PC, what is your RAM, and have you ever experienced crashes to the desktop with no error?
I go with an 8 GB (2x4GB) setup. I used to have 1333 MHz speed RAM that was of somewhat cheap quality, and the game was unstable to no end. I replaced it last week with 1600 MHz RAM that seems to be of good quality, and the game is stable enough to where I can get a good amount of matches in, sometimes no crash at all from a play session. Since last Tuesday when I installed my new RAM, I experienced about 3 crashes.
From what I've heard, the game can randomly require a huge amount of RAM and if yours isn't fast enough to handle the need, the game will crash to the desktop. That's just my understanding of it, but I could be wrong.
Does anyone know if the developers are working on a fix? I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Whats your CPU and GPU?
Edit: I have 8gb 1600mhz and have had zero ctd. Maybe its a Virtual memory problem?
Laz and Hank are basically standard team in rescue. Laz to get the survivors up with no strikes and when they are dead and hank to keep them shielded and do orbital on them.
i'd also recommend Abe. Assault is up to you really.
Found a group of Australians that are some of the top in the word to party up with of with and play against. Finally lost a Hunt as a Goliath. Their Laz and Hank combo was just insane. They were so good with them. Their positioning was top teir. I targeted Laz and Hank the entire 25 minute match and just couldn't bring either one of them down.
Patch is in console certification hell. we'll apparently get balance update notes on friday and they will be discussed with the community on the turtle rock livestream
I haven't fought nearly as many wraiths lately and I think I've had more wins against them lately when they have been in there. Been seeing a lot more kraken, which I'm okay with. Thing with Kraken is you really need Daisy, because it rarely touches the ground if they're not stealthing.

Got this this morning
Just played through the tutorials, the learning curve seems pretty steep. I guess it's because it's just not really similar to other popular shooters atm. Going to mess around offline for a while before heading online.

I can't understand why PC gamers have to suffer for that.

What happened to the averages?
Apparently it's something with how the numbers are being taken for the average database. they said they'd change it so it would make more sense.

Man, did I underestimate how much fun playing as the Monster would be, I never tried it during the beta so playing last night was my first try. Managed to pull off some sneaky moves hiding in bushes right next to the Hunters and sneaking about on rooftops right above them, it's so satisfying! I think I've got my tactics down already, getting armour then fighting for a bit at each stage of evolution, it's great being able to take a ton of damage then leap away before losing any health.
Best ability in the game, I swear.

I wish I could stealth better. I feel like once I fight as Goliath, the rest of the game is me trying to break away from an encounter until I'm dead.
I use my 3 leaps, leap smash, and charge. When I'm running away, it feels like I'm making insane distance with these leaps, but then I turn a corner and they're still on my trail. The couple times I've tried to then sneak and go around a corner to hide some place, they still end up coming straight for me.
