I'm sure it does, but it's a legit strategy and if it's what my counselor is good at I may not have much other choice if I'm the last survivor. And the people who send a message to Jason telling him where I am are the worst scum.

They are like shrunken versions of the old maps, there is some redesigned aspects/placements. The whole point is to have option of quicker matches.... can't say I have a problem with it, but would have been nice of them to maybe put work into these later, after putting out some newer content instead of what many feel like is a retread
All hope is lost.
Had a game where a guy just kept running around me to attract Jason, then kept boxing me into corners and not moving so Jason would kill me. Thank you for removing team killing, in so glad I get to now spend time sitting in a corner watching someone teabag me without recourse.
Hahahahahahaha oh my god this game. I finally get a random with a mic to work with me, we get Jason's mask off, I'm tommy, he gets the sweatshirt, he stuns Jason with the sweatshirt, I use the axe and Jason goes down on his knees, game glitches out and he just gets back up. Fuck you. Fuck this piece of shit game

Just had a game where I played as Jason and I somehow lost all control of him and couldn't move besides looking around with the cam and slashing in the air.... great update
Edit: Just read the post above me, wow. The fuck is going on at Gun media and illfonic? You'd expect an update that has been worked on for 2 months to at least work, instead it introduced tons of new bugs and even new intentional changes (Windows, teamkilling) that the community simply didn't ask for.

I had a lobby run smooth for five hours last night and it was amazing on Xbox last night. Some seriously fun times. Mics, private lobbies, and playing with friends accumulated from the game is the recipe for success. Only had one round with two randoms that rage quit.
People who sit in hiding places the entire game and don't even actively try to help escape are the worst.
Yeah, the small maps really feel like they came out of nowhere.
Also, has anyone else noticed that Twitch streams of this game have seemingly dropped off the face of existence?

Doesn't someone else have to knock Jason down to his knees, not Tommy? And doesn't Tommy need the machete to kill Jason?

Many people actually complained in the F13 Facebook page. They kept insisting the game was to big and it took forever to do anything sometimes. I guess they begged for a more condensed experience.
The votes were high to ultimately receiving the update.
I feel like word of mouth from YouTube videos got to the game unfortunately. It just had to many bugs that took to long to fix and the twitter is cancer every time they post something. Comments are always when's Xbox one getting fixed? Even when it has nothing to do about patches or anything.
I like the game. Me and my friends had a blast playing it but, it's been a month since we played it. With the big games coming it won't even be touched again till next year most likely when everything is fixed with more dlc.
This was a great summer game but, it could see life again when it comes out for retail in October. That's the only way I see it coming back.

The hiding and dragged out matches seems to be the reason for the small maps, since folks did whine about games taking too long or the players just playing hide and seek.

Is the physical release in October 13th US only?
Bad solution to a bad problem. Make them show up in red on jason's vision if theyre in there for X amount of time.
I like this. In the movies Jason finds them all anyways. Might as well put them on blast.

Easy to negate by simply moving to another spot or just hiding out somewhere else. Hiding happens out in the open even away from any objectives, cabins, or POI's, folks just go off and hide in the places Jason has little reason to go.
Also supposedly the game already has something similar, where as time goes on in a match, Jason's sense becomes more powerful from what I understand.
Rage will trigger it but that typically only comes in the last 5 minutes of the game. Even if they move you could keep the debuff on them so moving would be just as scary considering now you have a higher chance of appearing in his field of vision and or map. That shit would stop real fast.
Easiest way to find a game at the moment is to join the Friday the 13th "Community" on PS4 and then scroll left to the "Now Playing" section where it shows people in the group that are in a lobby and how many people are in that lobby.
Find one that has at least 5 people in it and hit "join session".
I'm having success with this over quick match.

The whole point of the game is hide and seek. They could make surviving the timer on it's own a fail for counselors, on the results screen class it as "Died of boredom" as an injoke. At least then there's an added incentive to escape.
The second option would be to have a timer on hiding spots before Jason is alerted to your presence. Even if your fear etc is low. I don't like this option personally.
I'm not touching the game until they reverse the friendly fire / teamkilling change and add new content.
The changes they've made are not for the game's benefit, they're just easy solutions to appease whiners. The devs have an antagonistic relationship with the community and haven't looked at any comparable games for how to deal with these problems. Teamkilling and helping Jason just needs a Vote to Kick option as a minimum. And counselors need to be able to turn their location off from other counselors. Problems largely solved.
The Gun devs must be reading this time and time again and just fucking ignore it.

I hope they revert some of the baffling, unnecessary changes but am still enjoying the game under the right circumstances i.e. in a good lobby with no lag.
I find the game almost unplayable in a random US lobby (found through community groups since quick play is currently broken) post-update. I've adapted to just playing the game when Aus-based friends are online as random overseas lobbies are no longer worth the awfulness that is the lag and glitchiness combined.
Something that has made the change to combat stancing doors a bit more tolerable, might be common knowledge but I was unaware till recently: when breaking down doors using the animation, you can just hold R2 and you'll hit it repeatedly, albeit slower than combat stance. Feels less tedious to me than pressing it over and over again. Maybe this isn't news to anyone here but I had no idea it worked that way till yesterday. I find it preferable to the inconsistent post-patch "sometimes works, sometimes doesn't" way of breaking doors down.

I didn't know that trick! Thanks.
I think I may finally be done with this game. Bought it at launch on Xbox and am now lvl 61. Stuck with it through dash board crashes, glitchers, whiners, sqeakers, team killers, database login failures... You name it, and yesterday just finally made me sick of it.
I was in a decent lobby that I started, everyone with mics and working together, until ppl started making rules in the game and telling me to kick ppl for not following them. Like no spawn killing, or you can't start repairing until Jason gets shift... also you can't kill anybody without the lobby complaining in one way or another. If you just swing your axe you're a hacker, if you use traps on repair spots then you're a noob, if you use only grabs then you have reachinitis and you're a wuss. Seriously had ppl messaging me and not readying up because I wouldn't kick someone cause they got killed within the first few minutes. Then id kick them and they'd rejoin instantly and the game couldn't start..
I've been sick of the toxicity for a long time but I delt with it. But this whole soap box drama bs is infuriating and I don't care if you're mad you died. It's the whole point of the game. Jason doesn't wait to kill and counselors shouldn't be forced to wait around for Jason to get even stronger. It's absurd and I just can't take it anymore. Not to mention the game is still broken and items still glitch through the floor. You win community. You can have this broken game that you only continue to destroy.

I don't think these devs have ever played an online game before or understand how toxic players work. Meanwhile, they haven't improved any of the jankiness like counselor movement etc from when the game launched.
Remember when they put a statement out to backers who missed the Savini skin window saying they will never ever compromise on the people who supported them... and then accidentally leaked the skin on the Sony and MS store. Turning off teamkilling even though this will make griefing worse, then breaking the combat and window-smashing and have just shrugged, "sorry you feel that way" on their forums.
This game is sadly never going to get good. The only people who'll stick around will be the toxic players.

Noob is the most friendliest of terms I could think of. Insert any homophobic, racist, sexist, genetalia..... term and it's probably on point. But don't misunderstand what I'm saying, I'm not complaining about trash talking or name calling. I think it's funny when they are trying to think of ignorant insults to throw at me while I'm watching them die. It makes me want to shove them in the toilet or simply punch their head off again. It's after the match when they "try to correct you" by saying you're playing the game wrong and send you messages all hours of the day to remind you of it. I've even gone to lengths to try and play the way they want to just shut them up, but it takes all the fun out of it.
They do this because Jason is OP. But duh. He's Jason freaking Voorhees.
If I can't place traps then why do I have them? If I'm not supposed to grab then why do I accumulate CP to buy cool death animations? If I'm not supposed to hack/spawn kill/shift grab/stalk grab/hunt/...... Then why am I playing this?

For the sake of the game I hope so. There is so much potential there it's not funny. From Kane Hodder to the art department to Sean Cunningham and unique and original Tom Savini kills. It sucks being a major F13 fan thats been waiting for this game his/her whole life just to have it be this frustrating and broken.
Maybe someday in the future when it all calms down and they truly fix it, it will be amazing. And then maybe I'll come back.
But as for now I'm moving on. Between Mario+Rabbids, Sonic Mania, Samus Returns, Evil Within 2, Mario Odyssey, and Fire Emblem Warriors this game will just be another shitty memory of something that could have been so much better.
Just noting that I think there is one thing this game cannot fix. The matchmaking is useless because of a lack of accountability. Letting 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 friends queue together and then potentially putting them with one as Jason is just asking for a poor experience for the rest. Either they are lenient with their friends, goof around similarly, or outright work with Jason. Most of the time they're in parry chat too. Sometimes they just quit if one or more or them feel wronged and if one is the host, well...
For me, the ONLY way to play this game on Xbox is in Looking For Group. It's the only way to see who you are dealing with before a match. It's better to seek out like minds, ensure everyone is using game chat, etc, instead of hoping in quickmatch.

so, have they considered bringing back Team killing ? because the game lost it's fun right now and cheaters working with Jason are all over the game and we can't do anything to punish them other than the host quitting and ruin the match for the cheaters, but the bad news is that most of the cheaters are friends of the host

Yeah I was wondering what the hell was going on with her model when I saw that.
What does the supposed single player mode entail? Can we play against bot Jason as a counselor and play against bot counselors as Jason?
I just got to level 18, so not sure how many hours that is but I got my first recently.
