I only got DbD relatively recently, last December, and I never really gelled with it too well because there's not a whole lot you can really do. You run and fix generators and keep an eye on where the trapdoor is. The fact that they give experience and achievements for playing private games is really cool. It's annoying that devs care enough to not allow that. Yeah, there will always be some boosters who exp grind but who loving cares? Most people are still going to play the game in a fun way because they're not brokebrained morons.

They probably realized that this game really didn't even need an XP system anyway, but threw it in because that's what gamers are familiar with these days. There's really no reason they couldn't have just made all the Jasons and counselors available from the start and just award CP that can be used for the kills/perks.

Regrettable posted:This game had a typical outcome for a Duster Jason round. What sets it apart is that a few people spent more than 10 minutes trying to get out in the four-seater. Also, Duster manages to grab someone out of the drivers seat from the passenger side. This is awesome

Grinding is a really basic way of encouraging gameplay. By gating content behind a certain number of gameplay hours, it rewards you for putting forth additional effort to play and unlock it.

his assertion is that you could have had a plenty functional skinner box without XP at all, and he's probably right about that. the main function it serves is that it funnels you into the easier to play characters (jason 3, kenny, aj) before getting into characters that require some more presence of mind (jason 7, chubs, tiffany), which is still valuable but less so i guess.

Update on my end for perks, the radio one seems to work no matter what slot I've got it in, which I'm thankful for cause psychic kicks rear end. I play Buggzy a lot so far and his luck is hot garbage, so it removes one more obstacle in really getting rolling at the start of a match.

Also increases chance to stun Jason. The increases to other stats are as follows: *Decreases the amount of Stamina consumed when performing a dodge while in Combat Stance. *Slightly increases the amount of Stamina you receive after landing an attack on Jason. *Slightly increases the amount of Stamina you receive after breaking free from Jason's grab. *Slightly reduces the amount of stamina you lose when blocking one of Jason's attacks. *Slightly reduces the amount that you stumble when fear is high. *Slightly reduces the amount of noise you make. *More swings before weapon breaks. (weapon durability) *Chance to not take damage while climbing out broken window.

When I was rocking the psychic perk I always stumbled onto several radios in unsearched cabins, now that I swapped it off (it ain't that great tbh) it takes me forever to find one most games.

Though in a reversal of my poor luck with items, I did have a match earlier where it was me as Bugman, then a Tommy and Jenny left at the end and the cops were about a minute or two off. We got the car going, got stopped, stunned Jason and then I realized I couldn't grab a new weapon or get in the car, I told them to go because I was bugged, so they zoomed off while I tried to bait Jason. I managed to juke him a couple times until finally getting cornered and out of breath in the big bathroom/shower place, I told Jason "Hey man, go dunk me in the toilet at least" and he wanted to oblige before I realized either you can't do it there or executing me with prompts might be bugged too. Either way, he got through most of the toilets unsuccessfully and then the auto-breakout set off, I ran for it and the car was nearing the exit so he went screw it and morphed out, but didn't get em in time. I crept all the way from there to the exit with the cops, Jason was sitting on the bridge out when he finally spotted me in the woods close by, started to shift so I got around the little bumper gates on the side of the road and he picked the wrong place to stop and try a grab, realized he couldn't walk over them and it'd take too long to go around and tried to morph, he morphed into the water under the bridge and came back out on the wrong side of the gates again while I jogged to safety. The one or two guys with mics say something to the effect of "How in the hell did you survive all of that while bugged"

The only way to play. I was sure that I'd have got to level 31 tonight. Quick LAST night after hitting level 30. Nope. Real bad with the disconnects tonight. I know you still keep the XP, but you miss out on the bonus stuff I believe. Plus having to restart the game, find a new lobby, blah blah blah. THEN I refuse to sleep until I play at least 1 game as melty-Robocop guy Jason. So I don't know what the heck.

Just found a propeller in a cabin bathroom (where health spray usually sits) as far from the boat as possible, so basically every theory about spawn locations is bullshit.

Yeah, despite my initial bad luck with lobbies and the horrendous names some people have that aren't moderated by Steam at all, playing on Steam has generally been a better experience than Xbox, and not just because the game works! Playing with goons is even better, obviously.

I encountered my first role-playing Chad last night on PS4. That was such a joy. "Deb, you fix the car. I'm gonna check my 401k." "Help, servant, the poor kid is after me!" "A locked door? Well, nothing money can't solve!" Edit: I was almost convinced it had to be a goon, because the guy was so dedicated to Chadding it up.

I usually have luck if I try to swing and get him to walk into the animation. It takes some getting used to, but I'm pretty adept at it with the wrench now.

If Jason goes for a shift-grab, your best bet is running towards where he was standing so he overshoots you. If he doesn't reappear and whiff immediately, then you've got to gamble and just be erratic. Other than that you just gotta get good at knowing how to stay out of grab range and strafe around him.
