I take they closed down the beta? The kickstarter says I get beta keys but it doesn't look like they're there now.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:Yes, and yes. When you are grabbed you mash "E", Jason has a short period to re-position you for an environment kill or while his fancy kills light up. Jason gets more experience points for doing versatile kills, so sometimes he may be waiting so he can dismember you or w/e. Your chance to escape is a function of the Jason grip strength and your luck stat. Pocketknives instantly deploy and stun Jason for a few moments. Ah, that makes sense.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:To clarify, you also stun him for a moment when you break free without a pocketknife - enough to get some distance. Yeah, that'd be about what I'd figure. I wouldn't think Jason would be able to scoop you up immediately after, or it'd be pointless. Also, even if there wasn't a game mechanic to support it, I'd figure a Jason grabbing you a second time would go for a quick kill just to avoid having to catch you again.

Kelp Plankton posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmuQlmAIq5s Yeah, Tinfoil was making fun of people saying shift is overpowered, but I really don't think I'd want Jason to be able to shift directly inside a building and into line of sight of someone and within melee range. Call it OP or not, it's not even the kind of killer Jason is. He's good at being present everywhere and pursuing people, but he doesn't explicitly teleport in the movies. It's a supernatural kind of presence, not some kind of x-man bullshit.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:In theory, you could jump into a cabin this way, but in practice it happens and looks a lot different. It's not common that Jason will just "pop" in front of you using shift - it's mostly used for chasing or juking someone who's trying to clown around a car or fence. Well, it's not just theory, it happens in that video I quoted. Like Bogart is saying, it should use the L4D rules for not respawning in LOS to a player. Also it seems like the survivor should have broken free, with the progress bar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmuQlmAIq5s&t=53s

FunkMonkey posted:Like I said previously, I think it's just an ingame ability to be evocative of that classic horror movie jumpscare where the killer just suddenly appears behind the victim after they think he's been juked. Not sure it's supposed to be him literally teleporting. This even happens in some of the Jason films.

Scalding Coffee posted:Such is life in The Zone. You don't need to be violent with other people, but that is an aspect of survival. Killing people also lets you loot their bodies of those items. The game also lasts for 20 minutes at most and the tension might hit harder than Jason, so impatient people will hate the game.

I figured I'd come back to this game when it was better, but months later, all they're doing is adding new Jasons, and the game still sucks for survivors. Really figured they'd take out the requirement to spectate to actually collect xp, but they sure haven't.

Coolguye posted:the game really does not suck for survivors and up until very recently you had to be dozing off to get grabbed by jason. the pendulum has only recently swung back to being slightly fair to big J. but if you are: I don't know, I kind of like actually playing the game and just not having to watch after I'm not playing, and getting XP for what I did. Grinding on bots for XP doesn't sound great, or like a thing someone should have to do. Maybe the game was better for survivors for a while, but most of the games I've been in since coming back for the new patches have been complete wipes, not because Jason is unbalanced but just because the survivors can't get any kind of an escape going beyond waiting past the time limit.

joylessdivision posted:Have you considered playing with better players because it sounds like you're literally playing with idiots who don't know how to play. Coolguye posted:The reason you are going to get clowned on in here is because this one post encompasses 3 major misconceptions with how the game is even set up and a healthy dollop of whiny bullshit entitled bullshit that stems from not even using all the tools that are in the game. You're not correct. You're not a martyr. You don't see something everyone else doesn't. They see something you don't. Hey there, Coolguye posted:Repairs today are easier than ever because parts that are dropped now show up on the big map. Your blockhead teammates are no longer an excuse for not escaping. If you can't see the parts, they're probably not found yet. Go look places you haven't yet. If you do, go get them and do the objective. If the repair minigame itself gives you trouble and that's why you can't get something going, then main Deborah. That's what she's there for. That works well if you have a map, I haven't seen one, but maybe I'm just spawning wrong to get the randomly placed map (rarer now thanks to this awesome new patch!). I don't have any problem with the repair minigame, though I haven't had a chance to play it yet since the new patch. I didn't have a problem with it in previous versions, and even if I did, that's a thing that a person could Git Gud at, at least. Coolguye posted:There's two whole perks in this game, period, that have a serious effect on gameplay Coolguye posted:You're also wrong about how XP is awarded: you will still get XP for the things you did during the match (so repair, escape, etc), you just won't get the +500XP bonus for completing the game. Yep, being pedantic isn't helping. That 500 XP is literally 10 times more than what I got from in-game actions (per-game, I think I made 500 XP in a few hours of gameplay just normally), and apparently the XP level requirements are based on that. People shouldn't have to grind on bots to fix that, the fact that you need to advocate for that means your game has a problem. Paying out XP only to people who watch doesn't make the game better, and it's easy to come up with a better way of distributing it, which should have happened by now. DeathChicken posted:I have Start With Map on everyone by default, since immediately knowing where the car is means immediately knowing where Jason is probably going to be a few seconds in. And not losing minimap on fear, because losing your map while on the run is just the worst Those both sound like pretty cool options.

A. Beaverhausen posted:I just don't know how much discussion your going to get calling the game lovely and whining about your xp bar when that's not really the point of the game. I'm not whining about my XP bar, I'm whining about the idea that the XP from the match is contingent on me watching Jason kill off the other players. That's some bullshit that should have been fixed way earlier, especially when the game already incentivizes you to stick around by giving you a chance to play Tommy Jarvis. Or, if you're a fan of the game, is just fun to watch.

Coolguye posted:could you please point to the thing where i'm being 'defensive'? Coolguye posted:You don't need to do it nor is it even remotely required. That is you saying that. Someone criticizes some poo poo that YOU DON'T EVEN THINK MATTERS and suddenly they're a martyr who sees something everyone else doesn't and is acting like someone put a gun to their head. You're crazy defensive over flaws in a game that you don't think matter. Someone who wasn't drinking the koolaid might be like "hey yeah that sucks they should fix that", especially someone with as little stake as people past the point where they actually gain something from xp* Coolguye posted:you have expressed discontent with this game for reasons that haven't been true for months and you're acting very churlish about it. Not true for months? I haven't played this game for months, I'm just now picking it back up and expecting something different. Did I somehow play a build that is months old? Is my steam patcher broken? Coolguye posted:but you're obviously really really dedicated to being the offended, martyred party *I think this is a thing, I haven't looked at the F13 xp ladder enough to be sure, and also don't care enough to do that. Burkion posted:Skyscraper, what the gently caress do you play this game on Full disclosure: I got a number of you actually on my friends list and I'm in the F13 group and I've played with people (not you specifically) from here before, I just wanted to evaluate the game 100% on the experience I get when I hit quickplay, like I was someone who just bought it and/or wanted to see if the new patch fixed anything.

Coolguye posted:homie i have no idea where you come from where you think this is constructive How many pages back, would you say I posted? I'll go ahead and look, if you'd like, I might be totally forgetting that. Comfortador posted:I'm not looking to join any blanket party, but you did kind of bust in here talking about the game being lovely, but the way you were describing it seemed outdated or just plain wrong. There are also static Map stations where you can a map if you're not having luck with the drawers. If there are map stations, that's awesome, and actually a good idea. I never got the memo, maybe having played before meant it didn't tell me about them? I guess ultimately maybe having played it before is a detriment to the idea of a fresh experience, my previous games have taught me to stay away from roads and other players and anywhere I think Jason is going to show up, and maybe I'm missing map stations and new content. I signed up for what I played in the alpha, and it was pretty good, and if they had left it, whatever, and if they're going to patch it, they should fix that stuff too. My criticisms of gameplay take a backseat here to the idea that I need to watch other players to get XP, because that's a bunch of intentional bullshit to make gross people feel good. I can understand that balance changes won't always go the way I'd like, but this isn't related to balance at all, it's just a bad design decision.

Aw, cute, Coolguye likes me enough to spend money to cry about it.Ghostpilot posted:Or you could go into combat stance and block. weekly font posted:You dummies know that a hard swing in combat stance has tracking, right? It seems like combat stance is really a thing, and I saw they put it in but never learned to use it, and maybe it's important for counselors and Jason? Earlier it seemed like the best move was running away, and the game was about it, but I keep seeing successful counselors relying on grouped melee combat. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
