I think the throwing knives should have a slowing effect on them. Maybe a damage over time effect as well. I'm not sure how much damage they do as of now but they really don't seem that great.

I'm sorry, I saw your name and thought it said 'HOOLY BOOTY' and I was confused why you didn't have a Tiffany av

Tonight was a first bad Jason night for me. The two or three games of him so far went well, but tonight I went 3/8 :(

Shift is hard to get used to.

I don't enjoy playing as or against 3...yet I do? He's such a classic. I think I really prefer part 6 Jason, and 7 is so rare to me that I love when it's him. I keep my Jason preference on random so mainly 3 and 6. I played as 2 one time and did okay. Being a counselor against 2, 8, and 9 don't work out for me at all. Especially 9 for some reason. I am talking drat near instant death, and I don't know why.

I have been a sneaky Chad the past few days, not really screwing anyone over as much as just being opportunistic and if help or helping benefits me, so be it.i often find myself as the last survivor though in a lot of matches and heh, The Chad just isn't cut out for that role. At all.

Also, the intro scene with baghead jason...man, he just looks so loving pissed

they do the same damage as a weapon swing. stick a counselor with two, if they don't have thick skin, and they'll slow down a lot.

I seem to have gotten worse once I got some experience with the game, when I first started out and didn't really know what was going on I guess I was just going with the flow instead of overthinking things or something. I even seemed to be doing better as Jason at first, what the hell :psyduck:

I watched it Monday night all the way through for the first time in 20 years. All I had remembered was the intro, the paintball scene, and "he's in the can, draining his lizard."

Seeing it again reminded me how great the movie is

Probably has more to do with people getting better at counselor than you getting worse as Jason.

I've seen people saying cutting the power to the cabin doesn't stop the phone from working but I'm 99% sure that did happen to me once when I was mid-call and Jason even remarked on it. I wish they'd get some more bugfix patches out because it's hard to tell whether some things work in a slightly inconsistent way or whether the game is just buggy still.

Oh that poor Jason. Cops showed up and in the span of about 20 seconds he was pocket knifed > firecrackered > shot > flared > pocket knifed again as six dudes made it through him to safety one by one.

"Jason is overpowered" is my favorite game criticism meme.

I played about an hour ago and 4 Buggzy's, 2 Adams, and AJ were treating Jason like the copy machine from Office Space.

Yea Jason isn't OP at all. Kinda funny people still calling for a nerd. His grab is like 90 degree cone and once you know how to effectively stay tight around Jason, you can easily juke the grabs. Better if you have a weapon, which is like 120 degree cone.

I watched once as properly perked buggsy and adam clowned on a jason 9 in the wide open target practice area for a good 4 minutes until the jason finally gave up and morphed out.

I'm just a dumb pub player but with even a modicum of communication you can stomp on Jason hard for a long while. I've been part of some hilarious Jason beatdowns that last for almost the whole match. I really should start playing with goons though.

I thought about the spawns, and I think this covers it:

- Indoor Floor Spawns: Battery, Gas, Beartraps, Melee weapons (I think)
- Outdoor Floor Spawns: Sticks/Branches
- Fireplace Spawns: Melee Weapons
- On top of tables/desks/shelves: Melee Weapons, Flare Gun, Shotgun, Propeller
- Drawer Spawns: First Aid, Firecrackers, Pocket knives, Keys, Fuse

Special Spawns:

- Packanack Lodge always has a shotgun on the couch in front of the fireplace
- Bathrooms will only spawn first aid sprays
- The barn in Higgin's Haven can spawn a shotgun on the floor
- Jason's Cabin of course always has the sweater

found out today the propeller can spawn in the bathroom on the shelves

yeah you should really be checking bathrooms anyway because medicine is in there. there's basically no excuse to not have medicine by the time Jason gets Shift, and having medicine is a big deal for flexibility when running away from him.

Oh yeah, I have perks to start with a med spray and another one that gives me two uses per spray. I just thought that was all that spawned there. Realistically I get use from about two sprays per game, but the variables for that are abounding.

It's how her species communicates

At Pakanack Lodge there's a cabin with one entrance at the top of some stairs. The kid I was playing with crashed his car into the foot of the stairs and I ran into the cabin. Jason couldn't get past the car. Felt a little cheap standing on the balcony of that place watching Jason go nuts but gently caress it, I lived.

Why is it that every host quits as soon as i'm about to win as Jason :sigh: This is twice now where i've murdered everybody in a single lobby and host quits right before they die.

I also wish the game made more of a deal of getting character unlocks, i just now realising that i had Part 7 Jason and Bugsy and i had no freaking clue until i was looking through my customization options.

I hid in a tent to regain stamina and ended up glitching through the ground and being stuck in the tent. It was pretty funny watching Jason repeatedly check it, us both unable to do anything until he got me with a grab.

(Some) Reasons people quit:
  • They saw Jason pants that was not theirs.
  • They died too quickly and figure it's more efficient to get to the next game.
  • They were deep enough into the match where they anticipated surviving, but didn't.
  • You grabbed them.
  • You hit them.
  • You trapped them.
  • You knifed them.
  • You looked in their direction.
  • They're Chad IRL.

Because they stupidly made the console versions P2P and the improved matchmaking has given hosts an excuse to be more of a dick when they die and just move on to the next game.

It feels like this is bad even for P2P. Don't games these days automatically switch hosts if the original quits? I could have sworn that was a thing.

It's sad that the bad matchmaking was what incentivized hosts to allow people to complete the game. No one would dare quit and risk having to wait half an hour for the next game. Maybe they should unfix the matchmaking.

I feel like this is going to get much, much worse before it gets better. I still feel like Gun doesn't have their poo poo together on multiple levels. This poo poo should have been figured out during the beta. I feel like we're playing a beta right now.

I think my solution is going to be to take note of who the host is in the lobby and kill them last. There are going to be some hosts who feel like super badasses when I -- as Jason -- run the gently caress away from them every time I see them.

I almost managed to 8/8 with a unique environmental kill for each person, but I screwed up by using up window kill too early. I ended up giving a second swirlie out to the last person because they wouldn't leave the car and that was the best duplicate kill that was nearby.
