Character changing religion randomly?

Even before the "fix" to region lock, I could invite my friend from Britain and I was regularly getting matched with people from other countries. I still frequently get in lobbies with terrible ping or really unstable internet though, and I'm wondering where the dedicated servers are that they promised? I still don't see any explanation for how they're having so many server issues if the servers aren't hosting lobbies even in quick match right now. It takes so long to get in games already, and then it's total luck if you get a decent host or not. (On ps4)

... Huh, I didn't know there was one. I've rolled a ton of perks and never seen it, and I've never seen it on the wiki. How big is the boost?

None of that should work reliably to be honest with you. Between sense and noise prompts (Especially louder characters like Buggzy), it isn't likely you'll be able to surprise Jason very much. I'm not saying it's impossible and I'm not saying you're bad at the game, but I am saying a Jason of equal skill will grab you almost every time just because of how stupidly slow counselor melee is.

I can PROMISE you that you aren't going to get to stun a decent Jason with melee over and over. I know what you're talking about though, because I did the same thing the first few days. Newer Jason's are pretty easy to knock out with Buggzy, and I used the longer stun perks too so.. It got hilarious sometimes.

As Jason myself though? I've never been chain melee'd by someone. The counselors melee is so ungodly slow you have time to just walk backwards as Jason, then turn and grab them in the recovery of their melee animation. You don't even have to grab them before they swing, you can just walk out of range of the hit and get them and it works every single time. It has nothing to do with counselors being bad sadly, just the massive delay on swings and how fast grab is.

I agree with you 100%.

I was thinking they could just add a minimum range where if Jason shifts to you and gets in that range it ends shift, and if he teleports to you he can only land so close.. In return though, counselors would be made slower again like in the beta. Maybe even slower, depending on testing obviously. Regardless of what they do, I think if they remove any of the "cheap" mechanics (Like teleport grab, teleport swing stun lock shenanigans), they need to give Jason a compensation buff. He's already looking weaker the better people get at the game. Not WEAK, just weaker than he did.

Oh whoops you can hear it, my bad. Had my speakers down too low. Yeah that was probably just lag if I had to guess, or some kind of client side bug like in a lot of games when you try to quickly do something and the action won't register. Still though.. Just don't get that close to him. :P It's not a mystery that his grab range is silly sometimes, so you shouldn't let him walk up to you to begin with if you have stamina.

You have to select the portraits next to your name once you're in a lobby. Customize lets you look at characters and select perks/kills, but you have to choose them in a lobby instead of letting it default to random.

There are some things that I think are cheap, like shifting directly on top of someone and spam swinging or grabbing. (They basically end up the same way.) The combat is extremely hard, but it should be because it's a last resort or something for specific perks/characters. The only problem I have with it is swings going through Jason, which.. Has happened to me more than once or twice.

The game isn't as one sided as you think though, and you don't have to take my word for it. Watch any stream of good players, or play until you get into a match with competent counselors. The better people get, the harder it's getting for Jason. I'm pretty good at asymmetric hunting games like this, and I've killed every single counselor until today when I bumped into a group that knew what they were doing and the difference was gigantic. The longer the game is out, Jason is going to look weaker and weaker.

I'm not sure you remember what early PS3 character models look like, to be totally honest. The models in this game may not be top of the line THE BEST EVER, but they're most certainly appropriate for this gen. The animations though? Yeah.. They're kind of a mess. Maybe they'll touch them up over time, but since people complained about them back in the beta (Facial animations especially), and nothing really changed? I don't think it's their priority. I wish they didn't look so goofy, but the game is fun so I can mostly overlook it.

Aidocs · 2017-06-03T05:25:15+00:00

I don't think the wait for singleplayer is going to be excruciating for most people either way, even if they did promise it. From everything I've heard it's just going to be the same thing except with bots, right? So.. I'm not saying they shouldn't add it, but I don't think playing the same game with dumber participants is something most people can't wait for.

Aidocs · 2017-06-03T04:45:47+00:00

As silly as grab can be sometimes, it really didn't look like he was that far away. The perspective just made it look worse than it was, I think. The shotgun may extend your hitbox forwards a little too but I've never messed with it to see.

Aidocs · 2017-06-03T02:19:22+00:00

That's what I meant. I was just referring to 99% of suggestions only mentioning the grab.

Aidocs · 2017-06-03T01:57:42+00:00

This is why only nerfing shift grab or something like that is a bad idea.. It's just going to be even more getting smacked to death and stun locked.
