I think the balance is intended as roughly 50/50 for counselors or Jason winning. The caveat is that the counselors technically "win" if only one survives the night, so individually you still have a high chance of dying.

The Chad army I sometimes play had a match that had 2 randoms involved as well, one of them got the fuel and was running aimlessly, me and 3 other chad's spent 5 minutes trying to convince him to put it in the drat car until we got bored and beat the crap out of him with bat's, he dropped the fuel and bailed into the water. Then Jason killed us all.

It would be neat if Tommy Jarvis could facilitate some 4th way of escaping, which would give Jason an actual reason to keep him out of the match. Maybe he can lead people to some secret path he holds open for them.

As one of the extremely rare people to play Jarvis as a savior and not a redo, I think it would be great if Jarvis couldn't "win" if a camper is left alive. I'm sick of Jarvis coming back then immediately bailing in a boat or a car or a cop exit with people still alive. Not sure how much work a "Jarvis can only leave the map with 0 campers alive or the max leaving in his vehicle" coding would take, but he should literally be the last man standing or escape with the last survivor(s).

I mentioned this earlier, but I had the best run as Jarvis today. Literally spawned right where I needed to be, downed Jason from way the gently caress away, saved three people and got the gently caress out with them in their car In and out in 30 seconds. If you don't play Jarvis as a chance to get more people out, you aren't playing him correctly.

Welp, managed to run into a tryhard pre-made group as I got Jason in a Quick Play match. I heard a bunch of noise at the four door car so I morphed over when I could. As soon as I morphed into view, however, I heard someone enter the shack to grab the sweater, so it seemed like some of the counselors were organizing a Jason kill with out-of-game comms (I didn't hear a single thing being shouted by the people dying or anyone nearby). Sure enough, there were two injured counselors by the car I morphed to that quickly shambled to a nearby broken window to jump through and suicide to get Tommy in the game. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find and catch the person who took the sweater until after she manages to get in the phone cabin that contained two Adams and the Tommy, all armed to the teeth with a bunch of medsprays and spare weapons on the ground + a machete laying on the table for easy pickup. They probably all had damage reduction perks as well, since I wasn't able to get any of them to an injured state with my spear until after about four hits. The sweater girl also stayed locked up in a side room with no windows so I couldn't break in to pick her off without getting knocked over by the others. After they knocked me down a couple times, I figured how the rest of this lame poo poo was going to play out and shifted out to hunt down the one person who didn't seem to be in their little group. In the meantime, they called the cops. I figured I would at least go wait to have a final fight over by the cop exit to make it a big more exciting if they managed to get a kill on me (which I felt I kind of deserved for letting it get this far in the first place) or if they would be forced to just escape normally. However, they refused to take a single step out of their cabin even after the cops came and I knocked the power out, probably because they didn't want to risk a single thing potentially going wrong with their plan. After running out of knives again and minutes of nothing but voice taunting from inside the cabin while they refused to leave, I just morphed over to the opposite edge of the map and AFK'd until the round end. I wasn't going to give the group the satisfaction of a Jason kill if they weren't even going to attempt to make it seem less forced or slightly fun for me as well. When the round ended (from the 20 min timeout, of course), they all got all salty at me for not letting them kill me when they 'deserved it'. Whatever.

After playing 10 hours or so I definitely feel like the bit where they want you to stay the entire match is kinda poo poo. The problem (and there are several reasons for it) is the game just kinda degenerates into running around endlessly past a certain point. Jason is getting stronger by the minute and you don't know whether the keys/fuse/etc are on someone's dead body in the middle of nowhere, missed in an already-looted house, or whether there's a cabin out there nobody ransacked. I'd rather just get a new match. I guess there's ways they could fix this, like maybe putting a big beacon over objective items during the last 5 minutes but right now it's really boring watching people running in circles.

Slated Jason twice tonight with the help of voodoo wolf and tinfoil. RIP Jasons you were too ugly for this world. The last Jason ran away from our angry lunch mob too. Pleadied for his life by offering up the hot dogs and soda that the man he murdered in the intro brought. Alas he still got a machete to the skull.

If you suicide I think it shouldn't allow you to get Tommy. People have started doing it as soon as he's called regardless if they're trying to kill Jason cause he has maxed out stats

Lastdancer posted:It was the start of a newer, friendlier Jason and you guys ruuuuuined it WHICH BRINGS ME TO GOON TALES THE TOMMYKNOCKING So I wasn't around for the first Jason slaying. Can't share much on that. Boy do I have stories to tell about the second though. So I was Goth Girl because I planned to go take care of poo poo. However I got a very different job to do- put the phone online for that to be a way out. So I did, or at least, I tried. Every time I got near phone house, after I called Tommy more on that in a moment, Last Dancer kept showing up as Jason and loving with me. I kept running off and hiding but this happened like three times. The third time though, as I kept circling the area to get back to phone house, a very unusual thing happened. Jason came running up to me asking for help. Some ruffians were going to kill him. So, being the friendly sort I was, I went on a jog with Jason from phone house, across the lake, to the little peninsula on the map. I became Jason's friend and herald, the broker of peace between the new, kinder, gentler Jason and the unruly mob. We waited around there for a goddamn while as they converged on us. The following few minutes, nearly reaching the time out portion, were me yelling for them to leave Jason alone as they beat the poo poo out of him and murdered him deader than dead. I could do nothing to save him, for I was a bearer of peace and love. I was briefly tempted to gently caress up the thing but that would be a massive dick move. I mean, I'm not a Chad or anything. Last Dancer really didn't stand a goddamn chance. The other few matches were kind of a blur, a lot of failed attempts to kill Jason, and most importantly, me calling Tommy Jarvis EVERY GODDAMN TIME. One point I found myself outside of Tommy House with Tinfoil as Jason and thought, Okay, I'm safe here. No one gives a poo poo about Tommy house. Cue Tinfoil showing up and me being very confused about what the gently caress. I discover shortly there after that it was ALSO the goddamn phone house. So that was a nightmare. Another time I was Nerd Girl, and ended up meeting with some people, notably I believe Silver as a Chad. Spanky was with us as we went down to the docks to put the gas in the boat, which already had the propeller on it thanks to Big K. Knowing Chads and knowing Chad was putting the gas in the boat, I sat by the second seat and mashed E as fast as humanly possible. No Chadding me today, Chad! We got out alive thanks to the sacrifice of literally everyone else except for one person who made it to the cops. The last round I was up as Vanessa, where Jason completely ignored me while I tried to get his attention, right up until I brained him and kept running around. We got the car put together real quick, and Duster bravely sacrificed himself on the island so we could drive out. And by bravely sacrificed himself, I mean he was right there on the mini map near the car and that Jason didn't want to get got by him. Last Dancer was Tommy! It didn't end well for him. The last dude, Silver, got out thanks to the cops. Seriously six or so games in a row, and I either started right at Tommy house, or was the first one to find it. Every goddamn time.

Well, Quickmatch seems to work now on XBox. I just went 5/5 as Savini Jason against a bunch of randos. The highlight for me was snagging a girl off of the boat just feet before open water and safety. E: It didn't save my XP from that game though

I whiffed it pretty bad as Jarvis, we had the mask off, and everything was staged for a jason kill and I wound up killing another councilor, and missed the sweater audio queue and hosed everything up  When I was Jason, soon as I heard the sweater queue, I was off back to an island to put a stop to that madness. Jarvis showed up but, at that point the guys running off in the car is the least of my concern. Must kill sweater girl.

Just got my first clean sweep with Jason. I used the technique suggested in this thread of spending the first few minutes destroying and trapping rather than chasing down people. I am not sure what anyone can do to stop it from working pretty well all the time.

Tonight I played against the most incompetent Jason ever. He got zero kills despite having plenty of time. He was definitely trying; I saw him take some swings at people, but we all managed to make it to the cops in about twelve minutes. Had a good laugh about it in chat. I would have felt sorry for him but in the previous round he glitched himself into the sky. Rather than just let Jason kill him with knives, he purposely floated over buildings to block the knives. He finally hosed up and Jason tagged him with about two minutes to go. Wasted a bunch of everyone's time.

On the flip side Ping is so inconsistent and makes a huge difference in ability to play making even more reason to go dedicated. Peer 2 Peer is such a poo poo system for anything even a bit twitch related.

Hey sorry for not taking on the PS4 stuff last night, a "quick game" with friends ended up turning into a five loving hour marathon of dumb jokes, beer, and increasingly deranged gimmick ideas for playing as Jason. Flamingly camp, heterosexual Jason won out by a worrying margin. We tried doing a few public games as a group but just hosed off back into private because none of us were taking it seriously, and just annoying everyone. Unfortunately my sneaky tactic of repairing the boat as Deborah was learned pretty quickly and my buddies learned to wait by the water exit every so often.
