If you're smart about it, you can go a while on just stealth.... but yeah, you are probably going to get axed.

Really enjoying this game, been playing it the last week and already sunk 30 hours into it. So many funny moments so far. When people have mics it's pretty much my favorite game. When people don't have mics, I usually just escape solo and don't care about them. I'll definitely be putting a lot of time into it. At first I was expecting to only play it about 5-10 hours.
I'll need to try this at some point. Although the inherent risk with going for the sweater for the added stealth bonus is that the moment you get the sweater Jason is going to be right on top of you.

I'm gonna test this tonight if my friend gets on. If it is actually something that is kinda cool.
Going for the sweater is probably a really good tactic for late game survival if you're a female counselor, and alternatively a good Tommy Jarvis strat. If it gives you a stealth boost that's obviously huge plus you get a free stun on Jason. And if you're playing as Tommy, going into Jason's cabin would be a good way to get him off of the trail of some other players.
This. The game is so much fun when u get people who know how to play. Conversely getting a bunch of n oob Vanessa Jones with no mics is a miserable time

Anyone ever run into a glitch where Tommy can't draw his gun (or pick up other weapons)? Happened to me last night (playing on PS4).
Well, that was a new glitch... About seven minutes into the match, I could only grab with Jason. No more weapon attacks, no more special moves. Just slowly walking and grabbing.
I quit the game after trying to regain control for a minute or two. I don't know if that was the right thing to do, but it just seemed like it would be a LONG, boring match otherwise.

PSA: Escaping as Tommy Jarvis does NOT net you any points.
I'd understand if that were the case if Tommy players immediately darted for the car/boat or cops soon as they spawn in, but no points even after escorting players out?
Also. Another game played on Xbox, another disconnect lol. This is silly as fuck.

They're all at E3 and/or don't give a shit about rushing certification on a patch from an indie dev.
Are we sure this is complete? I remember there being a perk to start with a baseball bat that isn't listed there.

Is there a ranking of how strong the weapons are? Like is a lead pipe better than a baseball bat? Is a wrench better than a frying pan?
I got a red/epic Low Profile perk , "Faster movement while crouched, and chance to avoid Jason's Sense ability."
Does that mean Sense Avoidance Chance is only active when crouching?
For real, I've met so many people while playing this that are always down to play, but just get annoyed by the crashes, so once those are fixed, I won't have a problem finding people to play with.
I was fine for the most part on the weekend, but yesterday I only played 2 games and got crashes in the other 4 I tried to play, so I think I may be done until the XBO patch comes, even though I love the game.
I usually press grab immediately as I'm touching them during shift.
It could also be the horrible hitboxes, connection and lag factoring into it.

I haven't had a chance to play for almost a week but managed to get 1 and a half rounds in last night. Unfortunately both were quickplay. First game spawned me inside the largest cabin next to the 4 seater. I knew I was fucked right away. Made the snap decision to try to run outside and hide but as I did that Jason spawned there and killed me.
2nd round we had only 6 people - maybe 2 were using a mic - and people were just leaving as they died. Pretty shitty.
The PS4 GAF community looked pretty dead when I was playing last night.

does match making work on xbox one yet?
Not really. Better off using the Xbox Looking For Group feature. You can find a match instantly with that.
More than anything I just want more transparency around fear. I stacked three fear reduction perks on top of each other, played as AJ with a 7/10 composure stat and was just crouch walking around a house (so presumably not pinging) when Jason found where I was when I was the last person left. I can only assume it was from running from one house to the next, although I did have my torch on and one of the perks was a 48% reduction in fear while in darkness.
I know being alone can affect fear too, but at the moment I just don't feel like I can make an informed choice about what to do when I don't know if Jason can detect me using sense or not. It seems he can detect me even when my character's face (the only real visual indicator of fear) looks calm.

So I've been riding a wave of nostalgia for the F13 series the past few weeks, and there's a new Jason figure out that I picked up this weekend. I saw some custom bases someone had made and decided to make one yesterday. I paired him with some other memorabilia I had for this display in my cabinet. The base was surprisingly easy to make, even if the wood glue was a pain in the ass.

Spawning at the lodge or by a car is annoying but not a big deal. You just got to know to get out of there, if Jason morphs there just run away. He won't have sense yet and you should be able to lose him pretty easily.
I honestly don't see Jasons go by the main lodge right away very often. I usually see them go for the car(s).
My personal Jason strat is to go and take out the power first at every location (little extra fear bonus never hurt). That way you give everyone just enough time to find some car parts, which means they'll be by the cars once you're done saving money on the electric bill

Apparently they've released the patch for Xbox, so it may work now.

I found out about this fact a few days ago when I shot jason from behind while he was holding someone.
Fair warning, it also has a much wider spread range than the aiming cursor, so if you are trying to shoot him while he has someone grabbed, shoot his feet, or you may blast the counselor too.

Tommy should be a savior gameplay wise, but he isn't implemented as one and that's the problem.
The game is very good and I agree with many people on many parts to not blame the game but this is the exception. Tommy is wrong implemented.
He gets scared from dead body's and even have the voice line "I have to get outta here". The developers have to change a few things and make it clear to play him differently.
Little idea, the game should automatically end if everyone but Tommy is either dead or got out. That would implement that you are here to help. If you got the last one out, you automatically get the win too.
Well to be honest, he is implemented fine, He literally has 10/10 in every stat. However 99% of players play him as a second chance instead of a helper and just try to escape.
Dont you just press the grab button to bring you out of shift and it also does the grab animation
To be fair right at the start of the match Jason only has his map teleport move, so you should be able to evade him with ease
Thats the thing though Tommy doesn't stand anymore of a chance against Jason than any other councilor that has a shotgun, yeah he has great speed and stamina but if Jason grabs Tommy he dies just as easy, so i can understand why players of Tommy play just the same as when their the councilor.
An idea would be to maybe make Tommy:
Get out of grabs a lot quicker
Take more hits from Jason before he goes into an injured stance
Have 3 shots with the Shotgun
Get experience points for help councilors out (stop Jason from killing them or helping them escape etc)
Have Tommy able to fix 1 car/boat part instantly
Able to see Jason's location on the map (sense ability like Jason)
See the location of the Phone fuse and phone location
Not to have fear
Boost councilors stats who are nearby Tommy
I think if he had these stats then players would use him a lot more as a hero character, he should be on par with Jason but at least be able to be a hindrance to Jason

And that's what I mean, why should people play him differently? He is implemented as "a second chance" and not as ,"a helper" and that is the problem. Like I said, he even has the voice line "I need to get out" and get scared of dead bodies, which makes no sense.
He should be a helper but with the exception of the 10 in every stat, he isn't.
I thought Quick Play used dedicated servers?
When the host leaves it ends the game for everyone still. I've played 10 quick play matches and had atleast 3 end due to host leaving after dying.
