Sweet, I don't play medic but when I do I dig playing Caira. Seems like the medic that benefits the most from good aim and movement.

She is a very useful medic, since she can heal multiple hunters at the same time. I love playing as medic, so this is right up my alley!

Pfew, just over half..... I wonder if the goal was set too high, or people just don't really care about the skins, or they don't know about it? I think the devs at Turtle Rock are also scratching their heads right now...

Pretty big nerf on Wraith's decoy. I hate that skill so cool.

I came to ask this as well. My girlfriend bought me this retail but not sure if I should open since the community might be dead.

It's pretty dead sadly. There was an ESL tournament this past weekend that was quite fun to watch though.
Here are some POV vods from a team that really show off the teamwork required to actually hunt down some really skilled monsters:

I think it'll get a population bump when the new Monster comes out this month and I'll probably jump back in then for some games. For now though there is just too much other stuff to play to spend my time waiting for matchmaking.

And what happens to the other 2 hunters remaining?

I assume they'll get a bit of buzz as well, but a new Monster is a bigger deal.

Sounds like people are thinking the new Monster will hit on the 27th based on the schedule of things so far. Also, Wraith challenge got hit easily. Hope it was useful in getting Wraith players to engage more often earlier rather than run the whole game till stage 3. Just shows that the issue was more behavioral than something balance-related really, Wraith was always viable in early stages it was just easier and less stressful to run until you are s3.

PC port is well below my standard but I'm still playing. Did any lefty mouse users have trouble rebinding m1 and 2 because your mouse buttons are swapped on a system level? What an annoying bug. Looking for buddies though, game is still awesome I'm mr. Mckenna on steam

Vod of the Gorgon livestream
Wow, Gorgon looks nuts and awesome and I really want to fight it now. Great abilities and mobility stuff. Wish it had come out in time for Halloween.

I haven't been able to play this game for a while, but damn. I only saw this first video for now. That was some amazing teamwork. Watching that was pretty exhilarating. Man it's even more amazing that that monster has the skill to deal that teamwork (to an extent)
I've said it before, and I'll say it again...I love this dang game! It's easily my favorite game this gen that I have played.

Gorgon is out! 2 days early. They also finallllllllllllllly added the ability to look up recent players on Steam which will make finding regular people to play with so much easier. It's absurd they didn't have that on launch when it's such a teamwork oriented game.

The new Markov might get me to actually start playing Markov. Always thought he was the least interesting of all the assaults because of his auto targeting lightning gun, though I did like his super accurate assault rifle.
Deployables change to 3 is huge. Can't just spam harpoon traps as Maggie anymore and I have to be really smart about where to put them. Saw a Markov get some great mines off with the new radius and I think these changes are for the better.
Parnell got some buffs and his rocket launcher does great damage on fleeing monsters now, however it is very skill intensive to hit those shots. It is still a risk to pick him in case you play a Kraken and aren't hitting air shots.

I was thinking about jumping back into Evolve. Do you have to buy these new versions or do you have to unlock them?
IbizaPocholo
NeoGAFs Kent Brockman
It's free and you don't need to do nothing to unlock it.

So I've taken a couple months off of the game due to Goliath being broken as hell with his movement, and the incredibly long wait times for Hunt 2.0 but I watched some streams this week of people playing and it got me back in the mood. However, my Xbone died last week thanks to shitty MS support so I.. double dipped and bought the PS4 version today. Does anyone here play it? I know community wise it's pretty dead here. I am hoping there is still an online userbase in the game.
Also, they revealed a new medic yesterday named EMET. He's an evac droid with I guess a split personality? One side is really nice, the other one is really mean and uses a lot of profanity.
He has some cool abilities. He fires rockets which home in on a tracker he shoots out of his finger pistol. That's his main damage ability. He has little health pods he can shoot out that give an AoE healing effect, and his medic heal burst ability emits healing power from both him and his pods. So with good placement you can have healing power across an entire dome. His last one is a teleportation ability that can call dead hunters back from the dropship in 30 seconds instead of 2 minutes.

Here's the archive of the reveal stream of EMET: http://www.twitch.tv/evolvegame/v/29250061
Haven't watched it yet but these are usually really informative and they talk to the actual designers about the new char.

Played quite a bit of Evolve last night and it was a lot of fun. If anyone is on Xbox and is up for a game my GT is Zombie Lyle.
Really liking the design of the new medic. I might pick up the 2nd season pass if it goes cheap again like Black Friday sale.

I have to say the new hank is fucking amazing.The laser orbit is way better that the normal orbit attack,the new shield for your partners better than the temporal shield,and the main weapon i like it more.Now is my choice in support.
And the dialogue conversations for emet are hilarious.Are from a movie but i don't remember now the name.
