i played a TON of the alpha, i was hooked, pretty much only didn't play when the servers were having issues... which was often

it's hella fun but there's a problem where everyone, including u, wants to play jason. so you play and play and you play all night and you never even got to be jason once! i don't want the counselor game to degenerate to a jason waiting room but i fear that may end up being a problem unless they address it. the counselor stuff is fine, but it does get stale when you just wanna chop some kids up for your momma

Yeah, friendly fire is the correct design decision imo. I'm concerned about deeper balancing issues, such as the woefully underdeveloped melee combat system. Combat stance was just... ugh, I'm not sure what they want the counselors to be able to actually do vs. Jason. Not much, which is how it should be, but then why is it even a thing. Shotgun to the face is the only attack with any real impact and all that does is buy the counselors a few seconds to run, pretty much most useful when he's exitcamping

There's a stark difference in tiers between pub games and goon premades. In pubbie games I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 in the lead, he has seven loving traps and pubs love getting trapped and dying. They almost never have the coordination and communication needed in order to kill Jason, and never try, so any health or stun penalties are pretty meaningless. I wouldn't think Savini is very high up there because relatively very few people backed it and odds are that any given hardcore "pro" probably doesn't even fuckin have the skin so he likely rolls with 9, 8, or 3

the Xbox One version is so bad that they continuously issue apologies to Xbox players, culminating in the recent "mea culpa" post from a few days ago. it makes no loving sense to me why they are having so much trouble, the thing's just a windows box with fixed hardware, they probably wrote it in C# to begin with what's the issue here folks

not that the PC version is that much better, if you don't restart the client regularly that loving memory leak gets you every time, sucks when you're Jason

Do Jason's not use morph over short distances? People are always hella shocked when I morph a little up the road they're running on and then use shift to end up right in front of them. Or morph to outside a building they're in. How are people using it?

short morphs are Jason 2's bread & butter, they're very unpredictable and once you learn how to quickly orient yourself on the map you're a teleporting monster. Shiftgrabs are for noobs, real pros morphgrab

If we disregard FvJ, its pretty unclear if there's anything at all in this world that could put Jason down for good.

Even if Jason does dream, what could Freddy do in the dream to actually kill him? If you're a zombie that constantly comes back from the dead then what exactly can a guy with knife fingers even do to you?

turn him into a little boy and drown him. not joking, it's ez pz

I can think of a hundred ways that humanity could deal with Jason Voorhees irl. All kinds of containment options, the sky's the limit. If Freddy was real we'd be so unbelievably hosed unless he kept his operations to the small scale depicted in the movies (which seems unlikely tbqh)

Pamela doesn't have speed in the water. Instead, she can send Jason Part 1 to a location in the water (using the Morph map interface) where he will immediately grab and drown a single swimming counselor within a certain radius of the selected location (all boats within the circular area get flipped immediately)

The one I always feel bad for is the little Asian guy from the remake. He's not bad, just a stoner, and Jason beats his sorry rear end. He really didn't deserve that.

Avatar Press. Their output as a company has traditionally been 75% gore porn, 25% various comic-book writers publishing ideas that no other company would be dumb enough to touch. Because they're gore porn.

The F13 comics were largely by a guy named Brian Pulido, and "12-year-olds jacked up on sugar" is pretty much his status quo; his claim to fame is that he's the Chaos! comics guy from the '90s, which is an entire comic-book company devoted to making stories out of the kinds of characters that would be vaguely over the top if you found them spray-painted on the bottom of a skateboard in 1991.

Before that, though, F13 and Nightmare had a handful of licensed comics under DC's Wildstorm imprint, by some writers who had some chops like Jason Aaron and Chuck Dixon.

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.

i like this. it also gave me an idea for a game: Head Counselor Jason running the counselors through training, drills, team-building exercises... and if you fail to meet his standards, you get a fucken machete to the face or some other gruesome death. Or it could be game-show themed

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
