I have defended Relays multiple times. The trick is to know when you are too far behind. If you know you can't stop him before he reaches 3, head to the relay and setup shop. Max traps down etc. The usual key to victory that I find when defending the Relay is to have as many multi-level splits as possible for your group. What I mean by this is medic is on the 3rd floor, support on the 2nd floor etc. The more spread out and effort you have to make for him to get to you the better off you are. I kited that fuck around the one with the plane in the middle so hard he died trying to only kill me. That being said, people have to know what their class does as well or you are shit out of luck if the monster hits 3 as he will rape you hard.Played 5-6 games, the game looks pretty poor. L4D I thought was pretty fun but this isn't designed properly. On one hand, if the monster is retarded, the game is way too easy. On the other, if the monster is smart and basically just circle around the map and feeds constantly while avoiding all fights, it's extremely hard to cut him off and force him to fight since you can't tell where he is(unless he's being an idiot) and even if you do, the trapper needs to be in range to sphere him. So he just farms to 3 then he can easily kill everyone at once by forcing them to fight on the defense thing(generator etc) and having rank 3 upgrades+full shields and health. Also this is boring as fuck as you spend the entire game running around trying to find it. I had a monster do this in 2 of the games, 2 of the other had a retard playing the monster and I think 1 was kinda fun and played like the way they showcased the game(monster upgrades to 2, fights for a bit, then flee, upgrade to 3, fight some more).
On the relay map yeah you can spread out a good bit, on the reactor map(I think it was a reactor), it's like a really closed room and it makes it super hard to spread out well enough, if the monster focuses you you kinda have to run into other people since there's no other way to run which ends up in a huge clusterfuck.I have defended Relays multiple times.

Once again, it's time to hunt together - or kill alone. Welcome to the Evolve PC closed technical test!
In about a month, Evolve will launch! However, you won't need to wait until February 10th for this new taste of what Evolve is like. You have been invited to join us for the hunt come January 16th at 9am PST. You have been granted access to a closed technical test for Evolve on Steam. Included in this email is your new product code.
Fans will be able to play Evolve's "Hunt" game mode with access to the first two monsters (Goliath and Kraken) and first eight hunters (Markov, Maggie, Val, Hank, Hyde, Griffin, Lazarus, and Bucket) across all 12 maps that support "Hunt" and are included at the time of launch.

And if you already own Left 4 Dead or BioShock Infinite in your Steam library you can participate - just check your Steam Games Library come January 16th.
After that, queue up the download and Evolve will be in your Game Library, ready for battle on January 16th.
As part of this closed technical test, we want to continue to stress test the servers and need your help to do it - so at 2pm PST on Saturday January 17th, we need as many people as possible to be online and playing Evolve.
Welcome back to the fight for Shear!
