I am not saying I am good at morphing either. If you guys have any tips about that I'd love to hear them.

On the other topic, yeah, 2,000 players isn't a bad number at all and the graph's been quite flat. The number staying steady is more important than what the number is, in my opinion. With that said, Gun is playing russian roulette right now with how they're handling poo poo. The home run and items falling through the ground glitches should have been fixed weeks ago, and if it's not that simple, they should have said so, just to reassure players that they're still supporting the game and working on improving it. Honestly the complete radio silence is the biggest problem. Are you working on bug fixes? New content? Both? If so, why aren't you telling people about it? Why did you let "Friday the 13th has been abandoned so they can work on that number game" become a credible rumor at all?

They did hint at some stuff occurring on this year's Friday the 13th in October, which is now only a few months away.

...and the pitch! posted:I have never shifted up to someone and then successfully grabbed them. Don't play Jason II or VII then, the slow shift is a dealbreaker for many. Jason IX may be a good choice due to his increased shift speed. As people mentioned earlier, you need to anticipate the running trajectory of the counselors and then grab them. If you shift up, they will be out of range once you try to grab. Another thing to keep in mind is that most decent counselors know when you are shifting. Morph - shifting is very effective, as the audio cue of Jason suddenly getting closer is what tips them off 90% of the time. If you're still having trouble, try rolling Jason 3 and use him to exhaust the counselors. Use your shift to cut them off from the next cabin window and get them low stam out in the open. Once they are, LMB them to death or make them wounded and then try your grab kills. Don't waste time with a Vanessa, Bugzy, Chad, or Tiffany early game. Their high speed and/or stamina make it very easy for them to escape you - and their low repair make them less of a threat as the game progresses. Take out those LaChappas as a priority, then Deb, then AJ/Adam.

...and the pitch! posted:I am not saying I am good at morphing either. If you guys have any tips about that I'd love to hear them. Save your morph for when you hear your traps go off or to cut a counselor off that you are fairly certain you can kill. When the car is moving, do not morph on top of it, aim up the road a bit, then Stalk-shift right into them. They won't ever see it coming.

I use morph when dudes are running away and it's obvious where they're going. Like if they're leaving Packanack to go up the hill, you know they're going to that lone big cabin, morph up there and run down to meet them. I get a lot of counselors to exhaust their stamina that way.

Yea, see my post on the last page about how I morphed back to the car on at least 4 separate occasions and caught this guy trying to install the battery every single time. There's a lot of characters who don't have much of a chance of repairing poo poo without setting off an alarm at least once, so you have to use that to your advantage or they'll be escaping in the car every single game.

I get lazy and use morph to move around the map too much instead of walking or shifting and then someone gets a car put together while I'm waiting on the cooldown.

And once you morph to the car/boat/fusebox, if you see someone still in the repairing animations, you can chuck a throwing knife at them to interrupt them. I would say you have a better chance of doing this on Vanessa, Bugzy, Chad, or Tiffany. AJ/Deb/LaChap/Tommy tend to be finished with the repair by the time you morph and orient yourself, so it's better to just close the distance for a grab or at the least a good chase, because you want those sneakies dead sooner rather than later.

Another tip as a counselor is that you'll get a small cue that Jason is Shifting in on you because the camera will pull closer to your character.

Playing in a group of 6 and some pubbie is a jerk in lobby. Not a big jerk but I still decided we should kill him. I wind up as Jason and begin the game morphing around asking where he is, explaining my only mission is to kill him first. Finally I find him with his buddy and he knows what he's doing but I make short work of him anyways and return to playing normally. He sticks around. I warn him of my mission in life but his buddy is Jason and I am killed first. But wait, I return as Tommy! A car is leaving but I turn down their offer of escape because I must pursue the mission. I find him climbing out a window, raise my shotgun and pull before he can say anything. I am resigned to my fate for the mission was a success.

So while we're on the topic of Pro Jason Tips, anyone got any for actually guarding the drat boat? Traps seem useless, since you can't put them on the dock itself in an actual position to block fixing the boat, just where the ground and the dock meet, and they're trivial to walk around there. It only needs two parts to get operational again, and if there's a "motor started" audio cue for it like there is for the car, I've never noticed it. When I see a boat as Jason I just get resigned that two people are gonna get away, but I've been caught out enough times as a counselor that clearly there is a way to be on top of it.

Well you can hear if someone's fixing it and fucks up. The propeller especially makes a loud rear end noise. if they've already started it and you're a slow swimmer the best option is to warp to the end and catch them coming at you.

Stalk, morph into the water near it while it's being fixed. Swim over to it, wait for people to get in, then tip it over. I love doing this.

Hit m every so often and look for boat movement. If you actually catch them trying to leave they're done for.

CapnAndy posted:Sure, if they gently caress up I can get 'em. The problem is that if they start it without fuckups, I don't know that it's been started and let them leave unchallenged, and I don't know how to be alerted other than compulsive map-checking. Be checking your map every so often if the boat has spawned. A quick tap of "m" and back is enough. Since the boat only seats two, and a decent Jason that catches that it's started means instant counselor death, it's the ultimate risk/reward option for counselor players. Plus, unlike cars, a stopped boat in the middle of the lake is 99 percent of the time an escape route that is effectively taken out of the game. It's supposed to be difficult for Jason to know the boat is in action for that very reason.

I typically just ignore the boat, and if a counselor can fix it without tipping me off then more power to them. Sure, if I see it start to move I'll Morph over there but it's not in my normal rotation where I feel like I need to maintain a regular presence around it to deter the counselors. I've rarely had to pay for that strategy, counselors tend to focus much more on the cars.

I've rarely had to pay for that strategy, counselors tend to focus much more on the cars. I go for the boat a lot as a counselor because it only takes 2 parts and you can pull off nutty 2-minute escapes if the cards fall just right. It's a HUGE gamble though, especially in pubbie games because the other counselors are very, very liable to just straight up tell Jason to check his map for the boat in order to get him off them, and most pubbie Jason's I've seen will go for it every single time no matter what else is happening. Like I've literally seen Jason go to the boat while four other counselors immediately got in the car and drove off. There's some kind of weird compulsion there.

Yea, see to me one or even two people potentially getting away in the boat doesn't bother me. If I lock down the phone and the car I'm still gonna get my 6/8. It's less about the numbers for me and more about whether or not I was a proper Jason for the counselors to be afraid of. Six out of eight still feels like something that would happen in a Friday the 13th movie.

The other thing is that the boat is frequently further away from houses than other objectives. If the car and phone are quiet I can can generally find a counselor with a part making their way over. Which means fewer houses to hide in and possibly a part dropped in the middle of nowhere.

I know as Jason i get excited when it comes to interacting with the boat since it means getting to kill people in the water which is pretty rare otherwise. On another subject, what's the best way to play the high strength characters? I have Adam set up to do more stun damage with weapons in general and more stun damage with the baseball bat, so it really as simple just trying to find Jason and knock him around a little bit? Or is suppose to be more nuanced than that?

HOOLY BOOLY posted:I know as Jason i get excited when it comes to interacting with the boat since it means getting to kill people in the water which is pretty rare otherwise. as always, the real answer kind of depends. even with a full load of combat perks, a counselor really has no chance at all against jason one on one. a baseball bat is ideal, yes, but you probably should not go try to find jason as he will still pop you like a ripe grape. counselors do best blindsiding jason around corners, through doorways, from behind, etc. and in general you should only be trying to attack him to open up an opportunity to run away, complete an objective, or save a friend. knocking his mask off is a completely separate thing, you want raw combat damage for that (in which case you're looking for an axe or machete, not a bat).

Having higher stun chance is kind of pointless with high damage characters since they already have a higher stun chance than low damage ones and having a bat is already a 100% chance to stun. Extra stun time with the bat is great and can be the deciding factor in escaping or dying, though. Faster weapon swing speed can also be very helpful, especially against Jasons who are good at dodging, because it can throw their timing off. My attack Adam setup is Thick Skinned, Heavy Hitter, and Swift Attacker.

This. Unless you're specifically looking to cause some trouble for Jason so others can escape, in which case go nuts and play "Jason Hunter" which will likely end in your death, but if the rest of the counselors are worth a poo poo they'll use your sacrifice to escape. This is my usual MO for coming back as Tommy, or when I spawn with an Adam, Buggsy or Vanessa. Cause Jason as much trouble as I can so everyone else will escape. Basically if I spawn in with someone who can't repair for poo poo (IE: the mini game is longer than two button presses) I will gently caress it up because I never play sober so I'll do what I can to help everyone else and then die gloriously while spewing something silly. If I can make Jason break silence because they laughed I'm always happy about that. I played one game where I was killed as Tiffany because I got cornered and yelled "I REGRET NOTHING!" as I was bodyslammed headfirst into the floor. I spawn back as Tommy and proceed to finish whatever I started as Tiffany and when caught again, he goes for the same bodyslam kill and I shout "I STILL REGRET NOTHING!" Jason laughed so I was happy.

I kinda wanna play as Jason and offer the counsellors a chance to escape if they can answer a Friday the 13th trivia question. Two-part questions if they're trying to accomplish a goal like installing a battery. One right answer: you live. Two right answers: I let you accomplish your goal.
