Couldn't they just call the new jason films "Jason Films" to get around the "Friday the 13th" legal nonsense? Jason IS the franchise, after all.

I just can't bring myself to spend a perk slot for an item which I'm 90% likely to obtain within 30 seconds of the start of the game. LastDancer also managed to kill me in that time frame last night, because I'm awful with the shotgun and I don't know why I even tried in Packanack lodge.

Yeah, that's what I mean. There's all that legal hoo-haa with the writer of the first film who now "owns" the title Friday the 13th, so... Just drop that title altogether from now on when making the films. Just cut him out of it entirely if (whoever) owns the rights and likeness to Jason. I'm no lawyer though, maybe it's more complicated than that. I should have quoted who I was replying to really, but it was like, 3 pages back. Hahah.

Burk I have a new game we can try: All counselors start the match and have 1 minute to loot the nearest cabin. They then must stand in front of the cabin door outside while Jason comes around for inspections. If a critical item is missed, they die horribly. This is the only way I can think of to teach some people how awful they are at looting cabins properly.

Essential Perks Thick Skinned: Take less damage from all incoming attacks. the best perk in the game. completely necessary. it doesn't just apply to "attacks", it reduces the damage from climbing through broken windows, falling damage, trap damage, you name it. Medic: Get two uses from each Medical Spray. Also increases healing when using a Medical Spray. imo this is the second best perk in the game. the combination of Thick Skinned and Medic is unreal at keeping you alive. One spray is all you need for most matches to stay fresh, which is why I always find three immediately. the increased healing is irrelevant but i wouldn't use one with any amount of the % damage taken penalty, gently caress that Notes Marathon: Increases your total Stamina. obviously only worthwhile on the three high Stamina counselors: Nessa, Tiff, Buggs. Tho Buggzy should be kitted out for fighting so he probably doesn't have room for it Melee build: Heavy Hitter is pretty sick for stunning Jason, especially in combination with Swift Attacker. Stealth build: Homebody + Level Headed + Low Profile: if you crouch in a cabin you have a hilariously high chance to dodge Sense entirely, like you don't show up on that usage. Best on AJ so she can go fix the power box when he breaks it. darkness will kill you Grease Monkey would be pretty loving good if it worked. My Dad's A Cop is less good in goon games because Jason tends to massively trap the phone box in our meta. most of the other perks suck but there are some traps that need to be mentioned Firecracker/Hypochondriac/Preparedness/Psychic/Slugger are not good. Crackers aren't even good, like I want to carry one in my ideal setup but Jason can just blockwalk right through them, the best usage is to throw them right before he grabs you and hope they stun him then. There's a medical spray in literally every large cabin and usually one in a deathtrap cabin, there's fucken two or three of them in the public bathroom. The more you play the game the less you need the map, especially when you learn where the map kiosks are. There are walkie-talkies loving e v e r y w h e r e and tbqh it's not that useful if we're using voice comms. those are arguable but what is inarguable is that the perks that make you complete actions faster will GLITCH YOU THE gently caress OUT. and not in a good way. Never use the perks that make you barricade, repair, or ESPECIALLY climb through windows faster or you will be in for a bad time. That window poo poo will ruin that match for you immediately, like you're hosed until it ends

Multitrapping the phone box is lame af. Multiple traps all around the phone box is one thing, all of them stacked on one another is dumb as hell and I hope that gets patched out. Jason should not be able to literally shut down one objective without even being there. If he wants to patrol an objective, that's fine, as it means counselors have extra time to coordinate, find weapons and pocketknives, etc.

I will place all of my traps there, however because they are my traps and I can do as I please with them. The phone is the most dangerous objective for Jason, especially early game. If you're on a map like Packanack and the phone is in Palmer's Pass area, there's no way to reliably patrol the vehicles and the phone. The traps are an absolute MUST in those situations - as they alert you to the phone attempt. I will reserve one or two, to either buy some more time on a vehicle they are trying to get together or re-deploy at the phone if someone triggers them. I generally like them all at one objective, because it takes out any mystery as to where the trap went off.

Also last night I tagged a guy with Savini shift-hit, then followed up with a throwing knife. As they limped away, they started crying about how lame it would be if I killed them with throwing knives, so I absolutely decided to kill them with throwing knives. I guess they were super-salty in post life chat, which is glorious.

I don't know if I got lucky or a good Jason was just loving with me last night, but I managed to Vanessa my way out of a cabin with a tank of gas straight to the boat while he was busy with two other guys in the cabin. The guys in the cabin were hoarding some gas cans, I told them with Jason nearby that I had the propeller on and needed gas, and yet despite my best efforts to apparently be as obvious as possible I managed to slip out to the boat. I hosed up the gas like three times, but still got it going and managed to navigate the rocks of Southern Packanack. Just as I was about ten feet from the exit Jason finally shows up, probably getting cocky thinking he can nab me at the last minute. But I have an uncommon (rare?) boat speed perk and I manage to just miss getting nabbed right at the end. It made me feel good after my previous game with the same group where I literally killed nobody as Jason. Even the last terrified low-stamina guy, he just ran right past me to the loving cops.

I like to put all my traps on paths, in front of broken doors or at the stairs to a porch. It's more exciting to be chasing a camper and have them run between the barn fences and get trapped then have them get trapped by a trap on the objective that they know is there but has to trigger it anyway. But then again I'm not a powergamer, I play my Jason games as a dungeon master and try to ensure the campers have an enjoyable time. Obviously this doesn't work in big group games because everyone has constant comms and searches every cabin in less than 3 minutes. Shadowlz fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Jun 28, 2017 |

Tinfoil Papercut posted:Kill them with throwing knives. For some reason the throwing knife kill in 6 REALLY stuck with me(lol) when I first saw it as a kid. I guess after becoming a weirdo obsessive with the series in later life it kinda sticks out like an odd thumb, but drat if that shot of the cop seeing Jason across the way then biting it wasn't loving cool as hell. What I'm saying is killing people with throwing knives is cool and good and I do it too on occasion.

Phyresis posted:Essential Perks THANK YOU. I've been making some bad perk choices so this is helpful. Got a red medic perk which is nice though. Had a blast with you guys last night. Had a few drinks before I got on which probably contributed to me dying within 2 minutes each round but still laughed my rear end off at ScaryTerry clowning Jason. Might be playing quite a bit this weekend as it looks like my camping trip is going to be nixxed due to rain. So how does everyone feel about a "gentleman's agreement" about discord? Like if you get Jason you gotta mute and deafen yourself until the round is over or something? Someone did that last night and I think it's a good idea.

Hey, you didn't die 2 minutes into my round! also I'm up for whatever you guys decide. I don't think Jason being able to hear the discord matters TOO much though. And i don't say that mostly because then I can directly engage with you guys while I'm Jason.

Psychic would be way better if it just increased your broadcast range to the size of the map. It would make it better than the radio for the first couple of minutes and wind down till being only slightly useful when Jason can't be sure you're actually around of you're talking. The downside being Jason now knows anything you say.

In-game communication is, by designed, limited to those with a walkie talkie. It's part of the game. Also, by design, if Jason is close to you - he can hear what you are saying. So if you are communicating over discord, it's cheating if you don't have a walkie. As such, Jason should stay in discord. If you have critical information to share, use the in-game communication such that Jason can't hear you. If you cannot do that because you don't have a walkie - then use Dsicord at your own risk.

Cause X is bad and if that thing isn't canon I probably have no reason to live. In 9's case, it's mostly because it contradicts the nature of Jason that pretty much every other film seems to present. Rather than being a scared/angry child with a brain deficiency and undying loyalty to his mother, whom he believes the campers and councilors are attacking with their presence, 9 paints Jason more as the living embodiment of evil or some poo poo. Also the body snatching hell worm thing was really dumb.

The fact that Jason never actually possesses any women is the biggest sin of the movie. Friday the 13th began with a woman as the killer, that would have been the best time to throw in a random one for it, even if only for a bit. Though the fact that Jason felt the need to strip and then shave one of his hosts is kind of hilarious.

I enjoy both. I can see how not using discord helps the game, as you can't tell a living councilor important info if you're dead. But having everyone giving me tips when I randomed into Jason 7 was super helpful. Also hearing people clown on each other always has me laughing my rear end off. Maybe make some strict rules about dead councilors not helping or something? And WoodrowSkillson get yourself a pc and come play with us. If 1 or two more people join up we'll have two full groups every night.s

But if you liberate that information in Discord, now both Jason and the counselors know. Basically Discord is roughly fair, provided Jason stays in the chat.
