Repair doesn't matter for shit since even shitty repair counselors can still get the job done, but even better other players can step up and repair things if you suck at it


So the repair stat doesn't matter because other players with a better repair stat can step up and do repairs? If Jason isn't around, then faster repair doesn't matter because you have all the time in the world. But if Jason isn't around, no stats matter. Even stealth. Anyone playing Jason will eventually teleport to all of the common locations regardless of whether they get a sound notification, and Sense negates even the highest stealth if he's close enough. Low stamina can be mitigated if you're clever enough at running between cabins, and high stamina players can get trapped by a teleport (plus you can't run forever). This is why I started appreciating stats more, it largely comes down to how you want to play as opposed to it being obvious some are overwhelmingly better. If people stick together in groups and help each other, then stats aren't going to give you any kind of major advantage or disadvantage. If you're trying to run around solo, then stealth is the top only because Jason will teleport first to whoever shows up as making noise.

Strength affects how likely you are to knock Jason out with a swing (falling flat on his back) and how many hits it takes to knock his mask off. If everyone has low strength it's going to take longer if you want to kill him, but higher strength players can knock it off faster.

AND ANOTHER THING

It also seems too easy to call the police and get away that way. Why bother with 3 times the trouble getting the car or boat to work?

On the flipside, it also seems stupidly easy for Jason to just lay traps in front of the phone. It's impossible to avoid such a trap, and even if you know it's right there you can't disarm it in any way unless you have a pocket knife, a rare item that shows up a max of 2 times throughout the entire map (and you probably want to save them as the only way to escape Jason's grab).


This is ridiculous! Calling police is too easy while it's simultaneously too easy for Jason to block calling the police. And in order to take the easiest route to win the game, you have to sacrifice a valuable item. Is this really a complaint?
