Games not even fun anymore

[Aitchy]

Before patch:

Good Jason would do well, kill most of the other players or majority.
Bad Jason wouldn't do well, maybe 1-3 kills?

After Patch:
Good Jason other players don't stand a chance.
Even a bad Jason can do well.

The game was perfectly balanced before this patch and took some skill to play Jason and kill everyone, I agree that maybe med sprays and knifes maybe needed reduced in numbers though.

Whats the point in playing now? I'm sorry but if you think you will attract more players to play with this Jason buff patch you won't, only the players that only want to play Jason and leave a match as soon as they realise their not Jason will hang around.

You also took away our choice to pick server region, why? If I'm playing at 4am in the morning in Europe I wan't to be able to pick North America so I can actually find a game quickly and play with English speakers.

Suggestion - Go back to previous Jason grab range, run speed, throwing knives etc and only keep the reduced med sprays and knives, that would balance the game fine. As of now there's no skill gap required to play Jason.

Don't make the same mistake multiple game devs do and listen to all the cry babies complaing about everything being OP. For example just go and look at "The Culling" for how that story ended after they ended up making change after change because of all the crying kids.

You're just gonna get ♥♥♥♥ on for that opinion here.

Jason would of been fine with just the grab cone buff(not range).

The speed increase just makes the slow chars even worse.

Maybe, but it's the truth, even a Bad Jason can now ♥♥♥♥ everyone up.

I like the difficulty spike. The game was getting too easy. Now, escaping actually feels like an accomplishment, like in the beta. If the Jason is good and skilled and knows what they are doing, they deserve to rack up kills. If they aren't good, you should be good enough to evade him or else don't complain.

Bad jasons don't have to acutally outplay you anymore because of the speed increase imo.

it also made twirling obnoxiously strong, which is funny because people want jason to be 'scary". But the best strat is spiining around like a ballerina

this patch,jason can dodge every attack you make.rip couselor

Crying babies is what started this pendulum in the first place so the devs made that cardinal mistake back in October.LOL

Currently downloading the new update, how it is ? I heard that it was bad but why ?

[#$$$#]

Depends what side of the fence you are on.If you felt Jason was weak before then you'll be happy.

Game was too easy as a counselor before the patch, I even uninstalled. Now it's fine again.

That's the whole point doofus. This isn't a Call of Duty tournament, this game is balanced around Jason and is a tribute to the F13 franchise. EVERY Jason player is supposed to do well and have fun. That's the whole point. It's also meant to be intense and hard as a counselor for obvious reasons. They're dumb kids, not war veterans.

Some choices like taking away server regions for automatic match-making and region selection as well as nerfing weapons is a little odd though, i agree.

I'm fine with the pocket knives nerf but the weapon nerf was too much. It was so fun having a 1v1 with Jason but when I can barely find a machete it sucks.

Knives was a good choice. And it looks like they fixed the bug with them too.

They nerfed sprays too much. It honestly feels like they removed more sprays then what they added back with the campfire changes.

Jason moves WAY too fast now.

And the weapon nerf was too too much. It's hard to even find a f-ing branch outside now. They should revert the weapon nerfs, but lower the rifle spawns.

I'm fine with Jason being fast now, how clunky he was before is more tolerable with the speed increase.

His speed before the patch (for running Jasons) was fast enough that only 4 Counselors could outjog him. Technically 3, because Tiffany was only 0.5 Speed faster, and she stumbles a lot.

But Jason did not need this large of a buff to speed. He still has knives AND Shift.

You're not supposed to 1v1 Jason that was one of the problems, people treated this game like Mortal Kombat and it was getting stale and overdone, and to OP, its supposed to be a challenge to survive. I'm also tired of all this nonsense about "it should require skill to play as Jason" thats total bs, because it seems like a pathetic consolation sentence for when counselors are bested even by newer Jasons, instead of taking it on the chin and being good sports. It should be fun for new or veteran Jason's regardless, yes you had people get 8/8 kills, but really the amount of exhaustion was not fun at all, it was so damn stressful, when the "skill" side should be on the counselor side. If you know anything about survival horror games, which this is but somehow alot of people got too comfortable last patch and forgot that, then this should be right up your alley to conserve stamina, health and weapons.
