All Monsters - Minor maintenance and improvements
All monsters can see recent damage on their health bar to help make burst damage visible.

Kraken - Fixing some flight edge cases that were causing inconsistencies making him too powerful or too weak depending on the situation.

Vortex
Cooldown increased by one second.
Reduced knockback magnitude.
Tranq Darts, Stasis Grenades and Harpoons pull Kraken down at a consistent rate regardless of whether he is in combat or out of combat. (they used to stack outside of combat)
Kraken’s flight speed is no longer slowed by Tranqs since they pull him to the ground where running speed is affected.
Fixed a bug that was causing Aftershock to not break harpoon traps or Arc Mines.

Wraith - Making her movement speed less bursty which makes her easier to keep track of. Making Supernova less lethal while still allowing it to be just as powerful. Making Warp Blast a damage dealer instead of a traversal mechanic.

Warp speed reduced 25%
Supernova duration decreased by 50%
Decoy
Wraith becomes visible for half a second when shot while cloaked.
Increased cooldown time by 2 seconds.
Warp Blast

Sounds good but I'm finding it difficult to want to play this, its a shame but im just not sure why but it doesn't hold my attention like I thought it would.

Same, maybe once I have finished with Titanfall I might be able to get into this one

It's really enjoyable if there's 5 of you in a party. Slightly less so if there's 4 of you, and basically none at all if you're playing solo.

Not necessarily, personally i enjoy playing on my own as the monster and love playing with a team of 4, its all down to taste. Its definitely a grower on some people Kev, you just need to give it a chance and get immersed in those games with other people bud

Correct me if I am wrong but you have only played about half a dozen games right?

True but I'm finding it difficult to want to play it. I think if I weren't playing so many others I may be more into it.

Probably what it is matey, i am always up for some evolve, its my game at the moment, normally i would follow the band wagon and be playing what everyone else is, this just floats my boat i guess.

Give it a chance and I am sure you will enjoy it

you are the bandwagon Geezer

Changes sound good. Not really played it enough that I'll notice any of them as changes though I'd imagine The DLC should be all downloaded for when I get home unless I have to select the new monster download. I know Progeny had some trouble downloading the monster at first but he got it in the end.

I didnt you have a blast last night, huh???

Great fun on this last night. Only got to play a couple of matches. Torvald is a beast and Crow was really interesting to play. Would liked to have seen the new maps and beast but not enough time. Cheers Fatboy, Gabs and Prog for the team.

The behemoth is great fun to play and the new maps are ace, the mine is HUGE! I'll quite happily play as the monster next time so you can see him dude
