Was in a good group last night that almost managed to kill Jason, but somebody fucked up while he was stunned and Tommy couldn't get the final hit off on him. So I told them that, next round, if I got picked as Jason they could get the kill and I wouldn't kill anybody.

We had about 3 new people join after a few left and, sure enough, I got picked to be Jason. I started wandering around camp until I ran into a counselor here and there, and tried to tell them over the mic to group up with the others and I'd let them kill me. I guess they didn't have mics or couldn't hear me or something because every single time I'd try to help them out I'd simply get fucking whacked or they'd run off and try to escape or something. All except for one guy who was actually communicating with me and pleading with the others to communicate and kill me.

Didn't fucking work, they kept fucking it up because no one was talking on their mics or listening. I said fuck it and killed all of them, got a nice little game out of it.

I haven't even been in a game where killing Jason was even attempted. Since I usually

play as a female councilor so I could probably go for the sweater. But I'm pretty sure you need to swim to Jason's cabin in one or two of the maps, and I'm always worried doing that would cause Jason to find me immediately

 

[Ensoul]

Still trying to figure out how the hell you perpendicular parked the car.

That's skill, or maybe it was just me being completely inept at driving and crashing into everything possible.

It does, he's gets a voice over from Pamela as soon as the sweater is removed.

I got really close to killing Jason once when I spawned as Tommy but I fucked it up and died instead.

Sanity Check: If you start a match and mute the player playing Jason, then he can still hear you, yes?

I was in a group yesterday with a couple of guys and after I died and was spectating them hiding in a cabin with Jason busting down the door, I heard one of them say something like "I have two pocket knives so its cool.." and the other said he had a flare gun. Jason ran in and chopped down the guy without the flare gun (hence he probably heard the guy without the flare gun had the two pocket knives so he did not press L2 to hold but just did his basic attack) and then shifted to L2 hold-execute the guy with the flare gun.

They proceeded to rant about how the guy playing Jason was playing UNFAIRLY and cheating because he was "spamming" his basic attack (even though he killed me and others with the hold-executions). They wanted to kick him from the group. I played devil's advocate and told them that to be FAIR, they did vocally tell Jason that they had a counter to his hold-executions so the guy playing Jason was actually playing smart. Their excuses were "No, I muted the guy playing Jason, he couldn't hear me", and "they put executions in the game because you are suppose to use them", etc etc. I promptly quit the group myself but then I remembered wait, he muted Jason but Jason didn't mute him so his argument does not even make sense...

So yeah, thats how it works right?

You're correct. If you mute someone but they didn't mute you, they'll still here you.

You can kill Jason?

 

[Xaero Gravity]

You can kill Jason?

Yep, requires a few steps I won't spoil, but think back to the movies and you should be able to figure it out

Played a few hours on PC yesterday, it was fun. Had a nasty bug though when playing as Jason: after grabbing a victim, all controls except movement keys became unresponsive. I couldn't execute them, put them down, perform a context kill - nothing except carry them around like an idiot. They couldn't break free as well. Spectated another dude apparently with the same bug too later.

I had that same problem, but as a counselor. Could move just fine, but nothing else worked.

Gotta say, I'm really enjoying the game despite all the bugs, and I absolutely hate horror movies.

If that happens, ask someone to hit you or carry them into the water, you'll be forced to let them go but at least you'll be able to continue playing.

 

[Parzival Qc]

I have been trying to get info on the xbox one patch to fix matchmaking. Have you guys seen any updates on that particular fix?

 

[Majora]

Managed to get a lot more games in on this last night by joining the community on PS4, although I have to say that I didn't find the community features very intuitive. An OS thing I know, but having never used it before it seemed convoluted. I joined a party but couldn't actually join their game because I wasn't invited, so I had to join a party and then wait for them to invite me or something? I'm not sure I got it but eventually I kept getting invites from a couple of people.

That said, I had the most consistent connection problems with this I've ever seen last night. I started noticing quite quickly a pattern between them. They key icon would start flashing at the top of the screen and then all prompts would disappear and you couldn't interact with anything. As soon as that happened I knew I'd be booted. Must have happened 5-10 times. I've even see the key icon flashing in the lobbies, where it doesn't even make sense to appear, and got booted soon after. Seems to be the kiss of death.

 

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Looking forward to the patch. Good time playing with the neo crew. Sucks I was tea bagged but at least I got to throw Xaero Gravity through a window.

I can never not tea bag a shotgun blasted Jason.

Hey you killed me after I decided to park my car perpendicular rendering it useless for everyone.

 

[Shil Pencer]

Did the patch come out for Xbone? Played private matches last night and still get booted regularly

I'm like a Public News Team taking a break from it's pledge drive. No commercials, no mercy!

 

[def sim]

At this point, I want the console patch to hit so you guys can complain about the same things we complain about over on PC. 😅

 

[jviggy43]

Finding matches within 2 minutes.


Getting dropped from every single match in less than 2 minutes. Connections are some kind of awful right now.

 

[PushingButtons]

What issues are going on over the PC side of things?

 

[jviggy43]

They better be giving out some xp for this bullshit. I should be like 10 levels higher right now.

 

[XenoRaven]

This is the type of thing that if it happened to me, I would probably be done with the game for the night.

People quitting at the start of a quick play game because they weren't chosen to be Jason and seemingly no region/language restricted matchmaking so it often teams you up with people who may not speak your language. They are what I assume will be a problem for console users once quick play is sorted for you folks.

 

[Waylon Drums]

Have people had ANY success finding matches on PS4 through Quick Play the past few days?

I don't seem to be earning CP properly now either

 

[Ensoul]

Very limited success. It can up to 15 minutes to find a game.

 

[Norwegian_Imposter]

Any idea when the patch will drop?

 

[MrBlonde]

Xbox - Same thing last 2 nights, I get in a private match since Quick Play is still broke, I get 2 - 3 good matches in then midway through the next it freezes and boots me. Funny thing is both times I was Jason!! The game is fun when it works, hopefully all this bullshit gets sorted out soon, probably taking a break until it does.

 

[Waylon Drums]

According to the copy/paste response they've been giving on Twitter. They're "working on it" which is just so incredibly reassuring.

Spoiler

No it isn't.

I've never had anyone quit, but I do get terrible matchmaking results. At least let me prefer people in my region. Apparently the game is big in Japan and Eastern Europe though!

If they can fix that and the shift-grab I'd say that's a really good base for them to work from. Shift grab remains super annoying.

"Even though I announced my plans out loud, I was killed in a way that I didn't like. He deserves to be kicked"

Sounds to me like babies got killed and were unhappy about it. Sore losers are in every game

 

[HiiiLife]

Jason using his basic attack to kill isn't cheating at all lol. Whether voiced in chat or not. I do it to Jenny Meyers since she usually breaks out of my grip.

Patch is ready to go for PS4 in North America, but they have to wait until it's ready for Europe as well otherwise those in North America won't be able to invite those in Europe for anything. I think getting match making working should be the priority but whatever.

 

[Mengetsu]

So what happened with the PS4 patch? Did it get stuck in cert? Did they pull it cause the Xbox One patch showed it didn't fix the issue? I would just like a time frame for the patch. They said it was coming since last Wednesday.

Edit:Answer above.

 

[Zombine]

Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of Jason museum in the final game? Or was that content cut/supposed to be added in a later update?

Virtual Cabin which was a separate purchase on PC.

Not sure how many people in NA want to play with people in Europe. I mean I played a few games where the people were speaking another language which pretty much left me on an island alone. So yeah not really understanding this logic.

 

[Agamer2006]

I just loaded it up on PS4 and got promoted to download patch. Version 1.04

 

[Liquid-Swords]

There is no perk to start with a pocket knife. I've searched and haven't come across one screenshot.

 

[Mrstriker09]

is it okay to buy now??

If you are playing a Jason that can't run, you pretty much need to often use your normal attack to get kills

 

[Waylon Drums]

The patch came literally the same time my new audio receiver arrived. Decisions...

I had a non-running Jason who had incredible skills with throwing knives. I saw him kill two people using them to slow the counselor down and then he got me the same way later on. They can be game-changers if you're good with them.

 

[Sephzilla]

They should just bite the bullet and break private matches for the time being and let the NA patch out. I doubt there's going to be a substantial gap in time between when the two patches release plus Quick Play should be their priority.

 

[benicillin]

Yup. It's pretty much the only way I can kill anyone as Savini Jason, by hitting them until they start limping and are finally slow enough for me to catch up.

 

[Mengetsu]

Found a match in 36 seconds. Oh man.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Patch is live on PS4.

If you got knives

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Savini skin is live as well.

 

[Majora]

First attempt at quick play on PS4 after the patch - 32 seconds.

If it's consistently that level then I'm happy enough with that.
