Well the Evolve alpha doesn't seem to work, it just constantly searches for games, that's a bummer.
You used a VPN to buy it? Thats a very bad idea

Did you buy it from the store or from a trader?
Are you from Indonesia?
If you bought it from the store and aren't from Indonesia then you could be banned. If you are from Indonesia or bought it from a trader then everything is fine.
Yeah but for one he cites overall numbers for the month and all other kind of projects struggling so i guess he's privy to data. And secondly, being late and not shipping their first KS game didn't stop from DF or Inxile from going live with another project and getting funded.
But i agree generally that someone who has yet to ship his crowdfunded project shouldn't be talking about crowdfunding trending here or there.

So, I was able to play a couple of Evolve games. Once as an human and once as the monster.
I don't think I'd ever want to play as the human in that game :lol. While the monster can easily kill any player on its own, if the full team ambushes it they can take it down being half decent at it.
For those that don't know anything about the game (like me
), the monster needs to feed on wildlife (or other player's corpses) in order to evolve. It also has four different skills with three levels each, and you get three skill points per evolution stage. There are also elite wildlife which give you different buffs, so all in all it reminded me an awful lot being a LoL jungler - ambushing players, killing easy creeps in order to level up, kill the special enemies to get a buff and then you have 4 different skills with extremely low cooldown times (I honestly think that the longest one was little more than 5 seconds).
We were playing on the Fission Plant level, and when you're the monster you start close to the human players. When you're on your first form you're told to run since you wouldn't be able to survive yet. Then, you can climb walls, be stealthy in order to do extra damage and jump to hide and find yor prey. After eating a certain amount of flesh, you need to find a place to evolve where the humans can't find you, since you won't be able to move until the transformation is complete (I think it doesn't even take 10 seconds).
Once I was level 3, I headed to the Power Cell, where the full team was waiting for me. Killing individual humans doesn't take long, but holy shit, a full team really packs a punch. A couple of minutes in I only downed two of them, while my health was already at 50% (and I swear I barely did any damage to the Power Cell... I throwed it rocks, fire and did regular meele, are you supposed to do anything special). I decided to make a run for it and retrat in to the forest, in order to get my shields back.
Then, once I was ready, I found the medic on its own doing some recon :lol. I wrecked her and eat her corpse. Once they die they respawn in 2 minutes, so I moved hastily to the Power Cell room and tried to kill the rest of the team. This time I knew the layout of the room better, and my rocks didn't hit some steel beams istead of the players. They survived a bit longer since I didn't know Daisy could revive people and I think the medic respawned during the fight, but in the end Goliath crushed those puny Davids!
I also played as a Medic, but I didn't know what I was doing at all and we died pretty soon. I guess I'd need to check out the other classes, but I don't think I'd ever want to play as an human in this game.
Playing as the monster was cool, I guess, but I don't usually enjoy online MP games. It's weird, but I'm writing way more enthusiastically than what I was feeling while playing, haha. I got bored after those two games and I don't think I'll ever try the game again, I hate online MP games :/

when did this turn into the b/s/t thread?
It's either this or talk about the new Alone in Dark, and we all know that won't end well. =)

When Evolve cost $5.

we are more bst than bst when there's price errors.
Welp. Should've used a trader.
I guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope that a one-time offense doesn't raise too many flags, since I'm sure they got a ton of people buying tons of copies.
Still on...

I got kicked from the Evolve queue for being idle for too long. -_-
Anyone want to try queuing together?

How do I get around getting it?
Find a seller from Indonesia. Or ask if someone knows one.

Multiplayer only games suck, there, I said it.
I must be the only one who doesn't care about Evolve.

throwing up guys sounds painful. you gotta evolve, dude
someone on TF2outpost is trading it for 4 keys, for you adventurous types.

listen to the mad man
I offered input on the problem more generally here (first half of post):
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=132551795&postcount=108
My argument:
- Some projects that would have been KS are now on EA
- Some KS backers are waiting for pay-out on their current projects before backing more
Those were established companies with credibility at getting jobs done; both funded additional KSes BEFORE they were late; and DF "being late" was a design decision immediately after funding based on overfunding, not an apology after they blew their deadline. Bad comparison.

Over two hours now, no fix in sight. I wonder if this will impact their bottom-line. A small price mistake here and there never hurt anybody but this could end badly.

+1. You're not the only one, altought it's tempting it's probably dead & bundled before I'd play it.

I'm not a multi guy either, but I'm in it partly for the thrill of getting something expensive for cheap.
I don't either. But, because of latency.

I imagine 90% off could cause them to take a slight hit.

Humble has the price in dollars so that came out £1.29 for me. Irresistable!

Meet me somewhere.
Wouldn't Valve have to pay for this since it is a store error, unless the dev/pubs actually manually entered the regional pricing.

Is there any chance that they could add onlyallowrunincountries?
The other 2k games have it.

No, they'd screw everyone with the game. Even legit ones.

I used it to vent my anger, I just went into the game and pressed C all the time.
Ok, should we get a room?

So while the Evolve alpha is borked, perhaps I might get some GAFFERs to play another fantastic online multiplayer game that is working and has 100% more hobby horse charging action:
PM me and we'll get a game going

I don't think Valve has much control over pricing, it's up to the Dev/Pub to update the database.
I think.

Oh that's online? I dunno why I thought that was local only
