So is the PS4 patch officially out? Has it improved matchmaking?
How did you hear what Jason and the Counselor were talking about if you were dead?

Just so people are aware Fusebox locations are completely broken. Was just playing Crystal Lake and found the Fuse in Springwater Camp(in the south) and the Fusebox was at Birch Ridge in the East. So don't trust it where the Fuse spawns.
Spent entire match looking for the box.

You can spectate other counselors and hear the conversation and if playing private lobby you can spectate and listen in on Jason too.
You can hear the people still alive if you're spectating, and then the proximity chat to the counselor is audible.

Man I'm getting terrible luck with randoms. I swear I'm just getting paired up with some really stupid people. I ended up in a cabin with two other people. They had just filled the 4 seater up with gas and had the battery installed. I had the keys and they kept whining "this guy keeps following us". The whole time I'm telling them I've got the keys and we can escape
"He's still following us, should we just kill him?" Seconds later I got booted.
Ooook

Still no word on the Xbox patch and I am sure that is just for bugs and nothing to do with the bullshit matchmaking. The rumor was today but clearly not happening, some people were saying in the F13th forums it hasn't even been sent to Microsoft yet!! I just want to play this damn game and I cant unless I do private which is a pain in the ass and even that doesn't always work for me.
I really hope quick match is fixed this week.

Really? I've never heard any voice after I died when observing survivors. Weird... I wonder why. I'm on PS4, and I hear voices just fine when I'm alive.

On PC it comes and goes for me. So I'm not sure how it's exactly meant to work considering it's so inconsistent.

It's probably been sent. The problem is that microsoft has to QA it then if they find the littlest issues they send them back. Then after it's approved you have to wait for them to put it up and sometimes it takes some time sadly. This is one reason releasing a patch via steam is so much easier. I really wish consoles could find a way to streamline the process. Don't think they will sadly.

The XB1 patch was never today, that's the PS4 patch.

Just added you - trying to get some private games going as well
I assume that's when you have a walkie talkie icon on top. The stream I saw he didn't have the icon in the beginning but was talking. I paid more attention and I think that proximity just shows the speaker, while walkie talkie shows the speaker and walkie talkie icons when someone talks.
Also HOLY HELL at those DLC prices on eBay. Makes me wish I would have pre-order this!

There were no pre order bonuses. Those were from backing at a certain tier on Kickstarter or buying the DLC separately through Backerkit.
Also: What time do you guys wanna play tonight?

Idk how they'd do it, but the devs said they would ban any keys purchased on eBay.

I'm goin to go out to eat but I be back on around 730 that's Central time. I'm on now but don't wanna get in private room just leave after 2 matches. But when I get back I'll be ready
I literally played my first game, got killed after about 2 minutes and for the last hr and a half or so i've yet to get into another game even partying up with various people from different f13 communities on ps4
Seems like you need a full party of 8 if you want to ensure you get to play

I'm on Xbox. So according to what I have read so far in the thread I should wait to buy the game if I have no one on my friend list playing? Only private matches work?

Hope this isn't a sign of things to come. On PC and just had 3 failed games to load after a Connection Time Out. Had been playing perfectly all morning and afternoon.
Edit: Silly me. It's because they pushed a patch. Get the patch fellas. 1.9 GB

I love that change.
Devs are doing good work fixing bugs. Dont be put off by price. Lots of fun to be had. Also nets you Singleplayer in a few. Well worth what i spent. Spend more time playing this than i do 60 dollar games. Everyones different though. Fun gameBeen following this thread for a while and really enjoyed all the impressions you guys posted. I feel jealous but I'm kinda put off by all the talk of the bugs+price.

I've totally gotten well over 40$ in laughs alone from this game. Bugs and all it's totally worth it imo. I don't play many multiplayer games and I've sunk so much time in this. I love it cause it remove the competitive side of things and I love it for that.

Granted I only paid $25 due to the Early Bird tier on Kickstarter, but I've already gotten more than my money's worth in terms of fun.Been following this thread for a while and really enjoyed all the impressions you guys posted.

Edit: Looks like they were having issues with the Steam patch causing Perks to disappear, so they rolled it back
Lately I feel the urge to run anytime I spawn at the 4 door car or telephone as they seem be the place most Jason players morph to immediately. Objective camping is definitely the strategy for a successful Jason. I wouldn't mind if they slowed Jason's start a little. I think removing objective markers on Jason's map for the first minute or so might be nice. Removing objectives all together would be too much, but making the first one or two morph cooldowns on an empty map might be okay. Hm, just a thought!

I figured out the perfect level of nice to be in the game.
I've had several matches where I've fixed up the car, or brought one or two components. The problem is people generally overhear you and wait around the car Til you've fixed it. In one case I had another literally hop in and drive off without me just as I put the gas in.
Now I communicate with players on whom I'm going to allow to come. Only people I've been talking to whom I trust. Any silent players who didn't bring components and simply wait around the car I warn that I'm going to kill them (in cases where there isn't room and they're trying to snipe a seat).
If they don't leave I give them a warning strike. Seems to work.

I've never seen a Jason warp to the car or telephone on their first chance. It's always to the main building or largest cluster of cabins.
Starting by the car has proven very safe for me. Any decent Jason player is going to know it's not worth wasting their first abilities to prevent an objective the players have no chance of being ready to complete at the start.
Multiple objectives are why objective camping simply does not work at all. They don't need to nerf the objective markers because any smart player isn't going to camp at them early on.

Been re watching the movies and damn they really did a good job transforming them into a game. I don't feel disappointed at all with the 40$ spent on it.

I was just having a great game as Jason, only to have the host quit when I killed him. So triggered right now.
Correct, unplayable unless u do private matches. Sucks and no ETA on fix just that they are working on it.

So I grab someone as Jason, and hit one of the kill buttons, but nothing happens? I keep just standing there holding the person until they stun or knife me? I don't know if its lag or what, but it just seems like pressing kill buttons are really not working at times for me. This wasn't like this in the beta
Always spawn and trap the phone and car in the beginning. Tommys radio too. It's worked for me every time I've been Jason.

Camping objectives as Jason is a waste of their time. They should port to one of them, place a trap, move on until Morph is charged, port to another, rinse and repeat until all three major objectives are covered. Otherwise you're wasting time and not applying pressure on the counsellors while they're off possibly working on the other objectives.
I think I mentioned this earlier but I morph to each objective right at the beginning and lay traps. Then I start breaking down the doors of the nearest cabin to the objective while they're still unlocked and break easier. By the time I've done all that I probably have all my powers and the counsellors are likely on the way to the objectives.
Anyway I switched from AJ to Tiffany and was loving it. Still 10 stealth but much better stamina and faster too. Stacked my perks with fear resistant stuff to help the low composure and I felt pretty powerful.
However, that 1/10 repair stat might be a deal breaker. AJ has 7/10 repair and three large bars to hit in the QTE that last about 10 seconds. Tiffany has loads of tiny bars to hit and it lasts forever. Must be a good 45 seconds at least. It's a deal breaker unless I get some perks that help the repair stat.

I will have to try it, but I've never died by them in the beginning.
As Jason I always spawn near the largest cluster of cabins. I can usually pick off at least three players this way right from the start.
I guess your strategy might work for eliminating one player in the beginning, but you can get a bigger chunk by following my strategy. I haven't tried yours yet though.
I trap no more than 3 objectives at once. Usually two. The telephone is for sure, and radio tower or car/boat depending on if I find the radio tower first. After that I immediately teleport back to the cluster of cabins or main cabin and try baiting em towards the traps. Running their stamina down. I barely even grab now. Just swipe and throwing knife.
Always save a couple more traps if they do manage to call the cops and hide them by the exit where the cops will spawn.
