#Evolve stage 2 Patch

вЂ“ Stage 1: -60 seconds for every 4% of health lost вЂ“ If the Hunters deal health damage to the Monster, the timer is reduced in 60 second increments. вЂ“ If the Monster incaps a Hunter, the timer decreases by 3.5 minutes (210 seconds).

#Evolve stage 2 Patch

The patch notes dive into much more detail about the gameplay between Monster and Hunter while the dome is deployed. Once used, there is a cooldown of 80 seconds shared across the team. If you (or a teammate) damage the Monster or are within a certain distance, your team can deploy the dome. Before, only the Trapper had this ability. That should make capturing monsters a hell of a lot easier. One of the biggest changes? The dome (mobile arena) is a team-wide ability. The launch trailer gives us a sneak peek at some of the bigger changes coming. With Evolve going free-to-play, Turtle Rock Studios has revamped the gameplay big time. What about those who bought the game? You receive вЂFounder Status.вЂ™ HereвЂ™s the post covering what that means. ItвЂ™s called Evolve Stage 2 and it will be free to play. Turtle Rock Studios is changing things up big time for Evolve. It was fun for the monster, but not so much for the four hunters chasing it. But once folks figured out the best way to play as the monsters, it quickly devolved into running around in circles until the monster either got careless or became so powerful there was no stopping it. The DLC shitstorm hit full force and washed away peopleвЂ™s enthusiasm, dragging us further and further from that first magical pick-up-and-play experience.Дamn, вЂњDLC shitstorm.вЂќ ItвЂ™s not every day we see that kind of candidness from a studio.Д®volve played great for the first few hours.

There was also disappointment вЂ“ for players and for us. Then, when Evolve launched, the reception wasnвЂ™t what we expected.

IвЂ™ll let the co-founders of Turtle Rock Studios take it from here. Publication after publication heaped praise on the game.

Pre-launch, EvolveвЂ™s hype could not have been bigger. The story of EvolveвЂ™s launch was much more interesting than its gameplay.
