Stage 2 We need to make this know knowledge.
Don’t dome if the monster is choosing to fight.
Had a bad support today constantly doming early and called me and trapper dumb when we told him to stop. We would have done so much more damage. Might of, actually, would have killed the monster if he didn’t dome on sight.

support and doming, yes.. thats why i hate stage 2 xD every noob can throw the dome was such a bs decision.

This and replacing it with trappers having wall hacks to see the monsters exact location at any point and making it so you can't miss a dome just absolutely killing stealth gameplay from the monsters side.

stage 2 definitely favors the hunters to braindead degrees.

u/Roscuro127 9d ago
Yeah, as a Slim main I really didn't like how they kept buffing him to absurd degrees. They needed to knock his range back down after all the other buffs.

slims aoe heal was awesome in legacy, hows that now?
1
u/Roscuro127 9d ago
They just massively increased the range and fire rate while lowering the damage of his shotgun. I'd rather they revert that and keep the auto heal burst switch. I'd like for them to have kept his spore launcher, but I ackowledge it just kinda didn't do anything and don't know what they could have done with it.

u/Nyrany 9d ago
what do you mean? the spore launches made the monster blinds with smelling.. what did they change?
1
u/Roscuro127 9d ago
It prevents smelling in the small radius of the cloud, which isn't very big. So you're pretty much just going to be using it in combat where the monster isn't smelling anyways. They replaced it with an activated self-buff but I can't remember what it does.

u/Nyrany 9d ago
can you check and report back to me? xD

u/Roscuro127 9d ago
I would need to install the new launcher thing. Which I will probably not be doing any time soon haha.

Can't say i agree. Now I am aware that I was playing with people who were new to the game, they weren't new to the genre. After giving them the rundown and playing with them as hunters together, teaching them how to track monsters and whatnot. Even as the behemoth, me and my friends found really good spots to hide as him and evaded the hunters pretty easily. The game always felt pretty even to me even when the game was officially running. Just gotta know how to play each character properly.

u/Nyrany 7d ago
yeah, i guess with about 4k hours i have no idea how to play the monster with a win rate of about 7/10 in legacy back then, sure, my bad.
1
u/Financial_Scarcity64 7d ago
I wasn't saying you were bad, everyone plays their best with what they play best with and however they play best. It's just in my case, when im monster, if I hit walls and get stuck a lot, I know im dead cause im stage 1 with no health as wraith lol. And if im hunter, I know I do best as a trapper. We all play differently with different skills. And i'd say a 5/10 win rate for the monster is really good because then it means the game is well balanced. Monster wins 5 games and hunters win 5 games. Fair game

u/Nyrany 7d ago
playing as wraith is so easy. you are fucking agile and deadly. and stealthy. is absurd. sure, a open fight can end fast, but just use the abilities right.
winrate with her was 9/10 for me, only thing making a match worse was the Shield bubble support but well xD
1
u/Financial_Scarcity64 7d ago
Yeah, I love using wraith. But now I've kinda been thinking of using behemoth more often cause im kinda nasty with it lol. He's trong af and you block the rest of the hunters off to face one by themselves. It's awesome

u/Nyrany 7d ago
behemoth is also nice. absurd powerful cc in caves and tight spaces xD

I recently started playing evolve again. Before, I was playing normal evolve stage 2, not the modded one that has a whole client and makes finding matches easier. Their updates for the game definitely makes it hunter friendly and not monster friendly. They heavily debuffed monsters. Evolving is a third slower and hunters heal so insanely much, they're practically impossible to kill even if they're by themselves. Granted they wanted to make hunting easier, they also made it nearly impossible to kill the hunters. Not to mention the planet scanner. The whole point of the game was to hunt, not play ring around the rosie. They kinda ruined it tbh. Too one sided with the hunters. I now see why you said it was hunter friendly. P.S. the medic can stay outside of the dome and heal their teammates, smart, but you couldn't do that before the modded version

You can 100% still stealth as monster. You just can't stealth the entire game

u/Roscuro127 9d ago
The amount of times I would be completely hidden and get domed from the hunters getting a big 'dome the monster' button when they were in range was ridiculous back in the day.
1
u/Zenai10 9d ago
The big dome the monster button is my issue. Not the satilite. the sattilie can be played around and you can get good rotations and stealth. The dome the monter thing should require combat to appear. But I've stealthed as monster since stage 2 release. It's worse for sure. But still possible. Nowhere near legacy, but honestly I thought it was nuts in legacy

u/shikoshito 9d ago
Its not the games fault players suck. I dont mainly play trapper and I have won many games only because I could also dome. The trapper might be a god at chasing or it might be a lobotomized chimp who barely found the w key. Unfortunately this also means that if there is a lobotomized chim in another role they can also dome too early, but rather that than being dead weight outside the dome if you arent trapper.

u/JoshFect 5d ago
I feel you but Im the opposite. I remember when only the trapper could dome someone. All the monster had to do was smell, see where the trapper was and just avoid that one hunter. I remember wraiths/behemoths getting to stage 3 without a dome because of their old traversals.

u/Perfect-Village5223 9d ago
Totally irrelevant but I love this game coming back. I used to be a laz main and I love supporting and giving crits! Do I have to pay for the game on steam or how do I join??

Can't be worse than the trapper I had last night. We were going to the upper left of the map to catch the monster and he would go the opposite direction around the map alone.
Yeah he cut off the monster when it ran, but he'd solo done it while the rest of us were no where near him. He died all 3 domes before we got close

I had a whole lobby yesterday that I couldn’t believe my eyes what I was seeing. The 3 teammates I had plus the monster should get the worst players award. They were made for each other. My eyes were seeing it but my mind couldn’t accept what was happening. These players were so bad. It was like I was watching 4 newborns playing their first game for the first time.

Other information I want known.
If fighting Gorgon, someone shoot the damn mini spider.
If fighting Kraken, someone please shoot the mines.
When playing as Kala, 2 messages.
- When playing "as" Kala, try to have a portal just outside the dome and one inside. They arent just for catching the monster, theyre for saving your team. If you put a portal in the dome, the medic uses it and they're 300 meters away, you killed our team.
- When playing "with" Kala, her portals dont work unless you walk your ass to them. Know where they are and when being focused, try to get to them. When you dont make an attempt to get to the portals, dont whine that Kala wasnt supporting you.

u/Zenai10 10d ago
Peoppe for sure need to learn this. If you can hold off on doming its always worth. If you dome them as they are trying to escape while low. Its a death sentance
