Don't worry, they won't feel that way once they play Dead By Daylight.

Some guy just started to hit me randomly and tried to kill me. When he filled the car with gas, I quickly started it and drove off alone, leaving him behind with Jason approaching.
Later I saw him running by the street. Ran him over.
Felt good.

driving feels broken to me
What's sad is the ignorance of how it actually works. I mean they straight up broke down exactly how they calculated the metrics as far as backers, betas etc and came to an figure for estimated users. Then triple that show up, borking it. They have been tweeting, posting on FB nonstop, communicating every step of the way all weekend and all i see are basically two things.
OMG learn to program
Buy more servers

Driving is supposed to be difficult. You're a fear filled teenager trying to drive a broken down piece of shit you just patched back to gather. I actually like the challenge of it even though I suck at it.
Yup. I've seen learn to fucking program, you should have had a huge stress test, you should hire a shitload of new guys since you can afford it to fix it, and of course the other vile shit I mentioned. It's like people don't realize you can't just fix this shit in 5 minutes and more so when on consoles you're dealing with Sony & Microsoft Q&A and deployment teams.

Yup at the last part. I've been seeing console players saying the devs are prioritizing PC over console, which is probably why the devs had to mention that in the last update.
It astounds me that there are still "hardcore" gamers that don't know about certification and Q&A on consoles. It's the same ignorance that causes people to complain that Overwatch's PTR and BF1's CTE aren't on console.
True shit
Oh I almost forgot my person favorite.

How do you spectate Jason once you die? PS4 version
I swear I seen someone on twitch doing it.

Yup it released Friday. They got a patch yesterday morning which got like 95 percent of the people in. They're having to fix the last 5 percent by hand. Anyone playing new post that should not have the issues. Their server melted down and there was data corruption which was causing the log in issue.
There are still some issues but they're being worked on. The game has some bugs, etc. It's not perfect. They're a small team though and working on fixing them. If I had to bet I figure their next game down the road they'll insanely over estimate demand just to avoid a repeat of this launch.
Can't in public games. You can in private games though.
Played a lot more of it and I echo the general sentiment. Much like the movies it's based on, the game be can pretty rough at times, but super fun when everything clicks.
I really hope they get these server issues ironed out on console though because nothing pains me more than getting disconnected when I'm about to escape or kill the last survivor as Jason, or having the game crash after spending 10 minutes trying to find a match.

We had a similar situation with a kid who sounded quite young. Was throwing everyone under the bus one round. From then on out it, even though I don't think many of us in the group knew each other, whoever became Jason let everyone live until that kid died. Then Jason went after everyone else. Funny thing was I don't think any of us actually rat on his location in those rounds either, we would just say "nope, I'm __" and each person playing Jason would leave.
Obviously it sucks to have the weekend botched, but I do think the issue has been solved quick enough in a few days. People need to relax.

Yup. They've worked their asses off. Once it's all fixed I figure they'll sleep for a week straight.
Weird. Part 9 is the only version I could see even competing with X, assuming the poll didn't include 2 and 3 as they are auto includes. Glad to know he's possible DLC.
Have any patches dropped for Steam or PS4 yet? The FB post yesterday mentioned patches today
EDIT: Found my answer - apparently it's tomorrow https://www.facebook.com/Fridaythe13thGame/posts/1783876861627804
*Shrug* I'm not too upset, but they kind of suck at time frames

I definitely agree on all accounts. The game is having troubles and I really feel for the folks that are getting the DB issues, but the vitriol the dev team is getting from the community is so uncalled for.

The only time i tried, i just killed one of my teammate and crashed on a rock.
The fact that i have 350ms as a ping is not helping, but it was the funniest moment of the game

WHAAAAAaaaaaat? Game changer here. Nothing worse than being a counselor where none of the drawers had maps in them.
Yeah like on Pacanac go to the main cabin by the fire pit and you'll see the map kiosk

wait, which kiosks in which cabin?

Never knew that. Thanks.
There's a giant map stand outside the firepit on Pacanac. Where all the counselors are talking in the intro. Go up to it and press a and it has maps for people to take.

I did not know that.
I just found out last night. The notification circle to interact with it doesn't pop up until you're damn near touching the kiosk. Press a/x and you get a map.
EDIT: unless of course the kiosk randomly generates elsewhere???? But that's where I found it my last games
I saw that thing and I already had a map, and I thought hey I wonder...
Never thought about doing it again, definitely good to know!
Driving is very dependent on your ping to the host because of the peer to peer networking structure. If you are 120+ ping, it's going to be very hard to control due to lag.
If you are hosting, the car is so much easier to control.
Guess I won't be driving anytime soon. My ping usually stays steady between 150-200. Sometimes it bumps up to above 200 while everyone else is still in the white and I worry host will kick me. Nobody's done it yet but whenever lobby talk turns to lag, I get nervous I'm gonna get pointed out and kicked.
Well, you're going to have to drive. You'd rather just die?
You just need to be a lot more careful with the shitty controls if you're not hosting.

I hate playing with people that don't try to escape and just hide to get by. There was a player that was literally hiding in the tent for the entire duration of the round.

Once more people become accustomed to Jason's abilities, hiding will be near suicide for counselors.
Juking is the real way to play.

It's a viable tactic if you're the last person alive and with no fear while waiting for the timer to run down. It's boring to watch, but it works.
Honestly that's partly on the Jason player. If you use his sense ability the tents will light up.
Playing as Jason is a lot tougher than a lot of people think it is, I think.
I agree. Same as in the old socom games. If you're last one alive, just play for time. I got anxious one time holed up safe one time and started making moves and thas when jason gets you.

BTW, how does hiding in tents work? Does your fear still go up at the same rate if you were outside? Does it glow red for Jason like the cabins?
Never seen someone use them so idk.

I love attempting to fortify a cabin for a siege when transport is a no. Scrambling for as many beartraps, firecrackers, and pocket knives possible. Methodically locking and opening doors to create an escape route. Digging in the deepest, darkest corner of the place you can find with a flare gun. Even better when you can call Tommy as a reinforcement. Survived one match with that strat.

A viable tactic for what, wasting time? You get no extra XP all you're doing is making your teammates wait longer. It's best to try to fight Jason or do something else that you haven't gotten XP for yet.
I'm almost 100% sure you get something for surviving. Or was that escaping only?
drotahorror
Member
You get basically nothing for staying in the game and lasting for 20 minutes. It'll say 'you survived' but you get none of the xp that comes with actually escaping. Hitting Jason one time with a weapon, a firecracker, a flaregun, etc will be way more XP than staying in the game for 20min and wasting all your teammates time who are waiting for you to die.
A person that hit Jason and escaped a legit way will likely have 300-400 more XP than someone who lasts the whole 20min hiding and doing nothing.

Finally managed to survive a game by calling the cops while Jason was going after a small group that were together. Felt pretty good.
Too bad that was followed by thee games crashing.
