Teaming really killed it for me too. The last time I played was with 6 damn friends and we STILL had Jason helpers in literally every lobby we hit lol I haven't played since. No idea how they could fix this but yea it's a bummer

IMHO not as many players would have been having stun fest dance parties in the first place if the game didn't force everyone to learn how to fight Jason by making stealth trash. What else were we supposed to do when he can find us anywhere after rage? Now we just have no options besides gtfo in 10 minutes which isn't difficult with friends. But it does get boring af after awhile and makes me wish there were more viable playstyles for counselors. I'm fine with the rage buffs and I'd welcome regular buffs if they came with interesting counter play options.

I have hypochondriac, medic and thick skin on everyone because I don't want 10 minute temp perks. I had to spend a stupid amount of time rolling and selling god knows how many epic heavy mover and legendary quiet swimmer perks to find something remotely useful and then half of those got fluffed to trash too after the rage update! Can anyone blame me???

I usually have the car ready way before rage is active thanks to everyone else charging at Jason like he's full of candy. I'm really curious if this is going to change how I have to play. Might not have that luxurious extra 5 minutes while he's busy with the fight club and not guarding objectives.

I've never used the traps quite like that. If I spawn near a car or phone box though I'm totally the asshole that lays a trap (not open!) to block Jason from setting any of his own.

Picturing Jason in water wings just made my day lol

I get it on PS too. I think I've had it happen to every counselor now and definetly Tommy a few times. That's when it's most embarrassing. "Don't worry guys! Tommy is here to ... stand around and stare at you.."

I ♡ this thread.

The sweater is glitchy. If someone dies it will reset and work then.

True. It used to be more of a risk to spend time finding the sweater and praying your Tommy cooperated. In November all the Tommys I got would hide, leave or refuse to put down the shot gun ... I spent every night for like 2 weeks chasing them in the sweater begging them to help me get my first Jason kill. They either didn't hear me, understand what I wanted or my mom voice wasn't on Pamela's level. I see way more Tommys and counselors in general now that want to kill Jason or just survive the night running him around.

I started on being all about Jenny and switched to not really having a main. I try to balance out the lobby with either Deborah or Tiffany depending on how many repair vs runners are playing. I'm not allowed to play Chad ? @woundcowboy I desperately want the fuse and the sweater now. I used to be more laid back and would work on whatever objective people were into and try to buddy up with another counselor to wander around searching for parts together. I don't like guns but I used to hate dropping them for a part. Now I'd much rather have more hits with a stick than only one guaranteed stun. I don't mind being alone or repairing with peabrains when I used to avoid those things happening to the point of nothing getting done. Overall counselors have gotten more aggressive and efficient, or maybe Jason nerfs just make it feel that way. I expect the majority of quick play lobbies to be competent over bumblefucking around when it used to be the opposite.

Most of the survival horror games I've played give you costumes for finishing a play through with different requirements or on higher difficulty levels. Fatal Frame 2 and 3 had maid costumes and kimonos. Silent Hill 3 let you dress up Heather in different T shirts or even as an anime character. 4 was pretty forgettable and I can't remember the name of the girl in the stupidly long escort mission but it let me choose her dress. Haunting Ground gave Fiona and her dog new looks, exactly the same for Rule of Rose. Resident Evil let me dress Leon like a mobster... I'm sure I could name more if I wanted to. I guess an argument could be made that those costumes were earned in single player games, but it's kinda silly seeing people claim they ruin the atmosphere when I've been jump scared and freaked out while dresed as everything from a dominatrix to a frog.

I'm the world's creepiest Tommy that runs around going, "are there any ladies here?? Let's get you a sweater, I got a machete!"

If I play a runner I get pissed I'm dropping parts at objectives but no one is installing them. If I play a repair character I'm pissed I see parts all over the map but have to go get them myself. This is how Jason mains are born.

That's brilliant! More props and acknowledgement given to good players and less focus on who and what sucks sounds great.
