I've had the game since launch only once saw an active party in the gaf community. But could be a time zone issue since I'm in the UK.

I'll have to check proper later but it's literally called something like friday 13th find players or something.
I left after. The room was filled with people just swearing at each other and talking as loud as they could.

The last 2 nights have been an utter shit show for me. Literally have not been as to complete a match in about 15 attempts.. and now the game lagged out and somehow I'm stuck inside a desk..
I need to find a Steam community. The Quick Play isn't too bad just sucks when people don't talk it's been atomiser impossible to escape when no one is accomplishing anything. Also annoying that people just drop for whatever reason. I would like to have a solid group. Are there communities in Steam? And if so how can I search for them?

WTF? You now get escape points for escaping as Tommy Jarvis.
As if we needed more shit Jarvis players who only care about self preservation.

All my characters have nothing but red perks. Tis amazing.

Is he at all useful after you fire his one bullet? Seems like just another character to me.
Yeah hes never seemed like a super awesome character to me to be honest.
He has the best stats in the game. He's fast, stealthy, awesome repair, can knock Jason's mask off in a couple of hits, and he's mandatory to get the Jason kill victory condition. He's a super awesome character.

Some Jarvis players don't even use the gun though. I've seen many that will just continue where they left off and escape the way they were trying before.
Also, his maxed out stats allow him to stun lock Jason with even the weakest melee weapons.

On XB1, I'm just making my own lobby after 10 seconds. Not a fan. I had better results before the patch.
Were you the last one to escape (or in the last group)? I got the reward one time, but not the next time when escaping as Tommy, and the only different thing I can think is the first time I escaped using the police exit after others were already out.
EDIT: Ok, that theory was proved false, as I just got rewarded for escaping before someone else in another match.
Strange, didn't have any trouble last night. Although I did see a couple Jasons leave/disconnect in the middle of a match.Ehhh this got worst on the PC after the patch. Constant crashes and hangs. Like the game will close itself and freeze my entire desktop. I can't even control alt delete the task. Come on guys.I don't even see anything that looks like it's fixed here.

The cabin glows red if there's someone inside who's fear has gone up. So even if you have great stats the cabin can still turn red eventually. Being alone makes your fear go up for example.
The thing is though he still dies just as easy as any other councilor so i can understand why players of him dont want to work interference against Jason.
Maybe if they make it so Tommy can break out of Jasons grab super easily (or give him 2 pen knifes), take alot more hits before Tommy goes into an injured stance and give him some sort of ability to see where the phone fuse and cabin is or something to help ad other councilors i thing it would make the character a lot more useful like he should be

see, If I play as jarvis, I always use him to bait jason especially if I already escaped the first time.

They really need to implement migrating hosts. Grrrr. I was having a good run as Jason there too

They should only give Tommy Jarvis players XP for fighting Jason and a bonus for every counselor who escapes or survives while they are in the session. They should also disallow his escape unless he is with the last counselor in a vehicle or the last one left alive. Get rid of friendly fire with any weapon except the shotgun.

It continues to happen. My friend is reporting the same issue. The game will completely freeze, forcing you to quit the application. It's bad sometimes as it doesn't allow me to end task by CTRL+ALT+DEL either. I have to completely log out then back in. I think it's tied to the party system or something. My friend froze out and quit the application. As soon as it said he left on the top right screen, I froze out. This was not happening before the patch and it's EXTREMELY frustrating as several times it happened when I was trying to help people or escape.

That reminds me what I heard someone say before: that Tommy should have the ability to see objective items highlight on his screen. Sort of a red outline that he can see from a certain distance.
It would make Jarvis much more valuable and make him really be that Plan B character who can help counselors get objectives finished faster if Jason player is too efficient. Plus, it means players can get a second chance at getting objective points which add up far more than the 200 for escaping.

Played all day and a weird new glitch has popped up. Trying to set down a trap at a door causes it to either float in the air or its set to the side instead of in front. Mostly it just floats.

Lol, that was satisfying to watch.
I hate it when people just try to kill you, especially at the beginning for no reason other than to be a dick.

Really want to pick this up, but everyone seems to only talk about PC. How is the PS4 version? Does it feel like a 'waste' to pick it up on console? Thanks guys and gals!

If you play public matches, most people do not use a mic. It is getting more difficult to find a full match.
The host quitting is also an issue.
I think buying it now on PS4 is risky. To me, it seems like the games best days are behind it.
If you play private matches, everything I have said can be discarded.

I wonder if Jason can sense the fear I now have from your reply
Sadly, I don't think my computer can run the game, so I'm stuck...maybe it'll get better in time?

It could get better. People are hoping for dedicated servers or host migration. This would be a big improvement.

Glad I didn't jump in for a PS4 version:/
Guess the price point is too high.

Why is it that a councilor can sometimes one hit knockdown Jason?

I feel like they should up the spawn rate of pocket knifes. Seems only maybe 3 or 4 spawn on the whole map and with like every Jason now trapping the objectives at the start of the game it's imo more crucial that we need more pocket knifes.
And that pocket knifes are like the best good defense against shiftgrab Jasons.

Adding insult to injury with the flare gun at the end made me lol.
I previously posted about doing something similar. That was a pretty clear cut instance of someone getting what they had coming, but tonight I did something that I feel a little bit conflicted about.
I was Jason in a match, killed everyone else and the final counsellor was this kid who was probably around 14 talking obnoxiously on the mic with what sounded like his little brother who was probably like 10...
They were streaming the game apparently and were very amused with their shitty glitch where they were in a yellow tent and I couldn't get them for some reason, I stopped trying after the first couple of attempts since clearly it wasn't going to work.
There was about 9 minutes remaining at that point. The older kid was the most obnoxious little c*nt to the point that it grated on my nerves an extreme amount. I know he was just a dumb teenager but his personality was on some truly repugnant shit and his smug arrogance was irritating as fuck.
The fact he clearly didn't give a second thought to making all the other players watch this tedious shit for nearly 10 minutes (or quit out of boredom) and the way he talked about this glitch like it was some awesome achievement was what annoyed me most of all.
He was also the host. Took note of username, was planning to just quit after the match ended but it readied up automatically before I could, so said fuck it and continued into the next match. It hadn't occurred to me that I could avenge the fuckery of the previous match until the next one started.
Noted what character he was, found shotgun and spent next couple of minutes tracking him down, got to this house that he was just entering and the little bish intentionally closed the door on me just as I was about to enter. I burst through the door and shot that motherfucker, then quit. Lol.
I look at it as a little life lesson for him.
Feel like a piece of shit for doing it at the same time though, mostly cos the other kid was younger and if they'd both been little kids obviously I'd have let it go.
No they need to fix actually being able to escape Jason's grab. If you are a completely healthy counselor and have good composure you should be able to escape his grab.
I've been playing since launch(well like a day and a half after 😬
on Xbox One and before the first major patch I had no problems button mashing "A" and escaping Jason after that first patch and even using a character with higher composure and a perk that ups your odds of escaping the grab, I can't escape a Jason's grab even the weak grab Jason's too. That's my only real gripe with the game

Agreed. Since about last Friday I've struggled to play a whole game. Between it just seeming to take an age to get a complete 8 players in a lobby, to getting connection timed out or hosts quitting it's just really been souring my view on the game.
Yeah, usually have people on xbox to play with so I avoid this issue but at the moment everyone is busy so when I try to play alone it feels impossible.
SAME. And I'm a fucking Jenny main and pro masher, and I'll still get grabbed and gutted with zero fear. And I have a rare Escape Artist perk too!No they need to fix actually being able to escape Jason's grab. If you are a completely healthy counselor and have good composure you should be able to escape his grab.

It plays like shit and it looks like shit, a solid 4/10 that has an interesting concept behind it.
