Nerf Jester Idea

[Alien_Halls]

Jester it is just a run ender. If he spawns, it is over, get all your scraps and leave. I think thats not fun and there should be a way to "counter him". When he starts his music you could run as fast as you can and after you get far from him, he cancel his song and starts looking for another player. He could play his song faster to make this nerf balanced btw.

This way i think he could fit better into the game since you won't just leave the moon due to a jester being there just existing.

Technically, he already has a counter. Go outside for a little to wait for him to stop winding or go back to phase one

Every players must to go outside and wait for 5 minutes (i guess). Impossible to do it in the bunker map if you're at the maze. Also everyone must be walking together or have a walkie-talkie for something like that work.

About 30-45 seconds. Essentially however long it takes for the Jester to pop and then a few extra seconds for it to find no targets and reset.

You mean a Co-op game that requires you to work together for a common goal means you need to work with your team!?

So you waste your time carrying a bunch of useless items instead of looting the map and all your teammates walk together instead of spreading to cover more portions of the map? GREAT. Which was your highest quota achieved btw?

Communicating with your team is useless? Most useful $5 scrap.

Communicating with your team is essential in this game and a large part of the experience, what are you on about?

YEAH MAN, I CLEARLY SAID THAT I DON'T SPEAK LITERALLY ANYTHING. YOU CAN ONLY TALK TO YOUR TEAMMATES WITH A WALKIE-TALKIE. THATS THE ONLY WAY.

Well, lets do this. I'll create a private server, spawn a jester with you deep inside the bunker and you can show me your skills. How about that?

People really out here not buying the signal transponder. The game is definitely meant to kill you several times before you figure things out, but pretty much every enemy has a workaround. Have someone in the van watching for jesters as their movement is pretty obvious, and then have them use the signal transponder to alert everyone inside. Your other option is to have people run into main and fire exit, alerting folks on the other side that there is a jester (hoping those people pass that info to those deeper in the dungeon). Like others have said, if everyone is out of the dungeon and you chill for a sec, the jester will reset.

Not easy, but it really isn't a run-ender if you use the tools given to you. Teamwork and communication are key in a game like this.

If there is a Jester in the map. Obviously I'll make sure that EVERYONE knows about it.

My point is, the Jester it is run ender because it forces everyone to stay near the exit, stopping us to dive deeper into the bunker to gather a lot of scraps (he triggers in 20 seconds, so if you're far from the exit, you'll just die making impossible for anyone to enter the bunker in the process). Jester on high quotas will just make you restart the server (since you can't lost a single day).
