Clothing neat, but really wish they would start talking about the new game mode, assume they mean the SP which was supposedly a summer release, but still start building up hype instead of keep telling us how you guys struggled and that "stuff is coming"
Doubt it, game looks fine as is personally, I think it could use some better effects/animations on parts but overall on PC it looks pretty decent.

New mode they hinted at isn't referring to the single player.

Just noticed the clothes improvements coming with the new patch. I'm so glad they have that coming. New clothing unlocks is great but when it's most a different shade, it seems like a unexciting thing to look forward to. I'm glad it's being improved.
Are they doing something with clothing besides the spring break pack?

I kept getting put in a new lobby within about 20 seconds of searching quick play after the update.
I'm in Australia and I remember reading about the tighter ping requirements for matchmaking, so I thought maybe I won't end up in US lobbies anymore as my ping would normally be 300-400 (occasionally 288ms might be about the best I could hope for).
Played a few games in the small maps with 2 friends to see what had changed etc. and noticed that the ping was initially a lot higher than usual whether I or my friend was host, but it seemed to get back to fairly normal after about 30 minutes.
Things I noticed: New intros for the small maps are cool.
Jason doesn't seem to be able to combat stance doors anymore, trying to hit a door in combat stance will have no effect. Nice if you're a counselor I guess... Frustrating for poor Jason.
Windows now need to be broken by pressing X like if you were a counselor opening one. The windows also look different.
Graphics in general looked quite different to me when I started playing in the small versions of each maps. I don't know what it is exactly but something about the game felt quite different visually. I only played one game in a regular map so far and it was very short, but it was definitely noticeable on the small maps.
As much as I prefer playing with Aus people for good ping, it's a bit worrying if I will be totally restricted from getting into overseas lobbies via quick play (and if I'm host, presumably only people with certain ping level will be able to join my game through quick play), because the Aus player base is obviously much smaller and it's rare for there to be more than 1 or 2 games happening in the largest Aus community group for the game on PS4, half the time there are none.
I'm guessing it will still be possible to join overseas lobbies through community groups, and it's not that I like all the random US lobbies with shitty ping (and often shitty people), but being restricted to the few dozen people who play the game regularly in the Aus community woud be extermely limiting and even getting a full lobby would be difficult a lot of the time.
I wasn't really playing properly with the couple of friends that joined me earlier this morning, but I imagine the small maps will be cool (and intense/chaotic) when Jason is actively pursuing you. A few little things I noticed like a boombox at one of the campfires was a nice new touch.
It's awesome the update is out, I definitely need a little time to adjust to all the changes though haha.

On PC yea seems like some improvements made especially to texture loading. Often had texture loading issues with the final cinematic, Pamela's head, and some other parts of the game would load slow, running much smoother now.
Small maps.... eh, not noticing huge change in speed of the games so far

Game is in the worst state it's ever been from a gameplay perspective as a result of this patch, on top of PS4 matchmaking and parties being broken. I've played the game every single day since launch, but I'm going to have to put it down until all this is sorted out.
-Hitting Jason during his window/door breaking animation has a chance to do nothing to him
-Hitting Jason while somebody is grabbed has a chance to do nothing even with a baseball bat directly to his back
-Worse performance (on PC)
-Small maps having bugged objective/tree spawns
-Random invisible ramps that send the car flying through the air on Crystal Lake Small
-Jason can be hit during his stun animation, causing the characters to say their stun voice line and lose weapon durability while possibly breaking him out of his current stun (Edit: Jason can take damage and lose his mask while stunned, but even this seems to only happen randomly)

One thing I forgot to mention from playing the game earlier:
Tommy can come when there are only 2 counselors now. Pretty sure it used to be 3 minimum?
I died after my friend did, then suddenly he was back as Tommy, even though there'd be no one left to "save" at that point haha. A positive change in my eyes.
Also, I thought combat stance no longer worked on doors at all. It still does, you just have to be right up against the door (which weirdly is the opposite of what someone else said on reddit, which was that it doesn't work unless you're a good foot or so away from the door)
The "wood" textures thing made me laugh so fucking hard.
I might take a bit of a break if the game might be a bit of a mess for a while, I'd been thinking I play it too much anyway so might stop for a few days over the next week or so.
Right now it's not like I could actually play it if I wanted to anyway. I checked the big community group on PS4 about an hour ago, 100 lobbies under the now playing tab, one person in literally all of them.

That "neon" skin has been there for awhile...
Pretty sure this isn't their big update. The new clothing option isn't even implemented yet.

I think I prefer team killing than seeing some smuck driving the car the entire map and helping Jason.
It's literally the first thing I am greeted to in a match when I worked to put the car together.

Hearing bad things about this patch which is disappointing considering I was about to jump deep back into this game after a three week break.
Yeah team killing needs to come back. Also the joys if this game. Get Jason's sweatshirt and the axe. Get his mask off. Everyone is begging for the person playing Tommy to help. Tommy gets in the car. Jason stops car. I'm right outside the car with everything to kill him and everyone is screaming to just get out and kill Jason. Nope. Dude just drives off. I fucking hate randoms with no mics.

Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
They removed team killing, so you really can't do anything to punish people working together....
Taking out teamkilling is such a lazy and stupid decision to stop teamkilling trolls. They will now instead work with Jason or take important repair equipment and not use them now unpunished. Why not just limit teamkilling to one or two players per round or something? That way people can punish trolls and trolls can't kill all the counselors.
I don't know about the player base on console but I got Dead by Daylight last week when I was gonna get Friday the 13th. I decided to wait on Friday the 13th and couldn't be happier. I have been having so much fun with Dead by Daylight. I highly recommend it.
Thanks! Sounds encouraging.

We were living everything yesterday. To be fair I don't ever set foot in the public lobbies. Built up a nice base on this game of people to play with.
The fuck is up with this window break animation for Jason and having counslers invincible when they are in the window climbing animation...
Litterally no one in the F13th community asked for this change. Why are illfonic/Gun media intentionally fucking up the game by 'fixing' things that weren't broke in the first place instead of getting rid of bugs and adding more content? Host migration still isn't in ffs.

They said host migration is not coming
Same bud, I took a little break because of Madden but I was getting ready to play again soon because my wife loves watching me and Halloween is around the corner so reading that the patch is making it worse when it should be better is disappointing, hopefully not the case but ill have to test it myself
Don't like it and regret buying it, doesn't compare to Friday the 13th however the issues this game continues to have drives me crazy and I haven't played in a couple weeks, hoping it gets sorted out soon cause this is a good Fall game
Link? Also, why would they not work on it? Hosts qutting is a big issue.
BattleMonkey

Was a couple weeks ago, also posted page or so back in this thread too. They want to switch to dedicated servers so there will no host migration needed

I had a group of 5 playing last night all of us on Verizon gigabit and the host was always given to someone out of our group that had to of been using dial up. I am pretty close to the end with this game with Destiny 2 on the horizon. I cant say i didnt have fun, but its sad to see it may never reach its full potential.

So this is the first I'm hearing about it but the hell is a "small map"? It's literally just the same maps but cut in half or something?
40% Smaller map. Also some redesigns.

Do the smaller maps have shorter time limits? Thats the only reason I can see them being any good at all. Waiting 15 mins while someone hides in a closet gets old.
Me too
