phasmo-chat

[south violet]

Thanks mate was like uninstalled and the installed the game changed controller

[ebon bronze]

My second favorite ghost has to be a banshee

Or polti

[ebon trout]

YES, the scream is so cool

[ebon bronze]

I like that it only targets one person so I could be behind it screaming at it

[last drift]

banshee is the same

targets one player, ignores the rest.

[ebon trout]

That's what he was saying, no?

[last drift]

oh thought we were still on deo

im swapping between 6 chats and homework 😛

[ebon trout]

JEEZ

[ebon trout]

PRETTY GATO!

[marsh schooner]

my friend was killed by demon in professional, n i entered a closet. the ghost opened the closet the door on me and killed me, isnt it supposed to be a safe place?

[ebon trout]

It can search hiding places

[sand crypt]

I take it krampus has not arrived yet?

[ebon trout]

Sometimes it opens them and walks away

[cobalt onyx]

All ghosts can search hiding spots

[ebon trout]

Not yet

[marsh schooner]

so how am i supposed to avoid dying?

[cobalt onyx]

If they detect a player in them

[sand crypt]

Understood. Was hoping :(

[ebon trout]

Incense, stun it and hide. If it opens it, stun it and break LoS

[cobalt onyx]

Turn electronics off before hiding, close the doors when they open them

[ebon trout]

Itll be here before you know it

[marsh schooner]

wdym by stun it?

[mossy mason]

Hold the closet door corresponding to which side you’re on to prevent passive opening from the ghost

[ebon trout]

Incense blinds and deafens ghosts

T3 incense lasts quite a while

[mossy mason]

All incense only lasts 5s

The effects do, anyways

[cobalt onyx]

Unless it’s a moroi! Then it’s 7

[mossy mason]

True dat

[cobalt onyx]

7.5? Something like that

[mossy mason]

7.5

[ebon trout]

That's stupid since the duration says its longer on t3 than t1

I've also definitely stunned ghosts longer with 3 than 1

[cobalt onyx]

The range is larger

[mossy mason]

The duration of the burn is longer, not the effects

[cobalt onyx]

A t3 will hit the ghost sooner

[ebon trout]

I've never had a ghost run through t3 but they ALWAYS run through t1 for me

[last drift]

Tier III: 7 seconds - 5 meters

[ebon trout]

Stupid t1 😞

[last drift]

Tier 2 - 6s - 4m

[cobalt onyx]

Hammond coming in with the hard facts

[last drift]

tier 1 5s - 3m

[ebon trout]

Yeah see they don't last the same amount, thank you

I stun locked a ghost one time by repeatedly throwing t3 incense for the entire duration of the hunt lmao

[mossy mason]

The effects (blind/slow/stun) all only last 5s, which is different from the burn time

[last drift]

did they remove the global smudge effect? is it now required the ghost be in range of the smudge being popped?

[mossy mason]

Yes

[wise oyster]

yeah remote smudge got taken out a while ago

[last drift]

Ugh

[wise oyster]

it was a neat trick while it lasted

[last drift]

first our polygons, then global smudge

[sand crypt]

Yeah, the thing of krampus was that he came on the 5th, which is why I had hope it’d be today. I’ll continue waiting patiently lol

[wise oyster]

Please return my placing objects on bed and fix Lantern physics

[last drift]

next you're gonna tell me they "fixed" the "dots hunt".

[muted pasture]

Hello chat!
Hopefully Christmas event starts at least a week before the Christmas week. I will be on trip for 2 weeks this holiday break. If they start the Friday before Christmas, I’m screwed. 😂

[cobalt onyx]

Need a smudge sticker that says “i used to be global ;c”

[last drift]

what

[mossy mason]

“Like that’s ever gonna happen” - Shrek

[sand crypt]

In the stories krampus arrives on December 5th

Which just so happens to be today :p

[last drift]

if you read wikipedia and take specifically one version of the story, sure

[drowsy vigil]

DOTS hunt is gonna end up for phasmo like herobrine for minecraft
every update 'we fixed that thing'
except in minecraft it's a joke XD

[last drift]

but like Santa, there's multiple verison world wide.

[harsh pawn]

Yk I never understood what the purpose of teir 3 salt was until I unlocked it, I didn't know it slows the ghost

[sand crypt]

Well that’s from the one I was told when I was younger lol

[last drift]

the one read today

[mossy mason]

There hasn’t been an attempted fix for DOTS hunt since 2023

[harsh pawn]

I remember playing recently, I saw the ghost on dots and was crap talking it and I kid you not, it started hunting HOWEVER I still only saw it on dots so I didn't know it was hunting and It touched me and I died

[drowsy vigil]

that's terrifying

[wise oyster]

I though there was one? But memory could be failing me

[drowsy vigil]

i thought there was one recently but i for sure don't have the braincells right now to factcheck myself XD

does anyone know
is the ghost entering DOTS mode actually a feature of the DOTS projector
obviously it needs the ghost to have DOTS
but are you safe from DOTS hunt if you don't place a projector?

[vestal ferry]

It enters dots randomly. It has nothing to do with the projector itself.

[drowsy vigil]

fear doubled

[wise oyster]

no, it's the ghost getting stuck in DOTS state. a projector would actually help b/c you'd be able to see it

[wise oyster]

no evidence = no DOTS state = no DOTS hunt

[drowsy vigil]

genius!

[atomic leaf]

REAL

[fluid perch]

I’m at lunch rn

[cobalt onyx]

Omg you’re my hero

[last drift]

ill send the png

standard

[keen tulip]

in #screenshots what is the std

[last drift]

standard

as in normal, regular

[uneven mortar]

is sever having problems?

[keen tulip]

as in doesnt speed up

[harsh pawn]

Wait REALLY?!

[last drift]

no as in, it does speed up, its just a standard speed up speed

[last drift]

yup could pop smudge from van and blind ghost in basement

[harsh pawn]

That's bs and cool at the same time

[drowsy vigil]

most ghosts speed up the same amount when they can see you
this is 'standard LoS (line of sight) speed up'

[last drift]

as long as ghost was near a player (3m) any smudge would work

they changed it so it has to be near the smudge being popped

[keen tulip]

what is standard speed up amount?

[harsh pawn]

That's so bs and cool, it's kinda sad but understandable why they got rid of it, they should add it to the custom modes

[last drift]

not a jinn, or rev for sure

[last drift]

#1254568921110024254 has a lot of answers for ya

[drowsy vigil]

if you click the guide tab on the same page you screenshotted, under hunt, there's an in-depth explanation

[harsh pawn]

Who can we contact to add add more tips to it, like I noticed the summoning circle mentions nothing about it being stopped by a teir 3 cruci

[last drift]

none of the cursed objects do. Shuee was the original author, shes the one who could edit it

can try sending a message to @violet nova ,itll send your message out to all active staff members

[wise oyster]

B/c that's not a summoning circle thing, it's a T3 crucifix thing

[harsh pawn]

It's a tip, all cursed items have tips for using em

[heavy swallow]

How much is the phasmaphobia music box

[wise oyster]

Yeah but GHR isn't meant to be an exhaustive resource

[wise oyster]

like $45 USD

[heavy swallow]

Damn

[harsh pawn]

Exhaustive? Can you elaborate or use simpler words? I'm kinda stupid

[heavy swallow]

What does tier three crucifix and book do?

[drowsy vigil]

exhaustive means it aims to include all possible information
as opposed to covering key tips

[wise oyster]

comprehensive, complete?

[harsh pawn]

It is supposed to be a comprehensive resource?

[wise oyster]

no, I don't believe it ever was

[harsh pawn]

[wise oyster]

it provides a bunch of info to help separate myths from facts, but it's not going to have every tip and trick in the game.

The shop shows that T3 can stop 1 cursed hunt. That info is in the game if people look for it

[drowsy vigil]

not to mention you gotta be level like 92 before you get there
as opposed to any level 3 player randomly stumbling across any cursed item

[last drift]

then theres the wiki, which has come far beyond where it used to be and is mostly reliable nowadays

i still dont entirely trust it but its leaps and bounds from its predeccessor

[rancid ivy]

Yet, ironically, the prerequisite banner covers much of the info in the shop when viewing the item. Never understood that part tbh.

[wise oyster]

yeah not a fan of that either

[spiral ginkgo]

Need help bad on xbox, my friend can't unblock, ready up, see levels or avatars, he's reset everything, anyway to fix it?

[sand crypt]

Yes the one that would read for today, which is why I asked today 🤔

[last drift]

no you read the krampus wiki today, and thats why you mentioned it.

its ok, so did everyone else.

[jagged dune]

can oni do air bubble events

[last drift]

nope

[last drift]

so what it is, is during the event, the ghosts will dress up like santa claus and have bells

thats what they're teasing when they talk of krampus. they do it every year for the holiday

[sand crypt]

If you’d like I can show you a screenshot where I mentioned it like 4-5 days ago, I simply woke up and asked here before I left home

[marsh schooner]

if a ghost opens a door closet on me, do i close it or keep it?

[last drift]

its been a part of phasmo for the last, what, 2 almost 3 years now?

[last drift]

what would you do if a killer opened the door, stand there or try to close it?

[marsh schooner]

if i close it it might know im there tho

[amber stream]

Does anyone know of a list of supported vr headsets for phas?

[drowsy vigil]

not with closets
not logical, but that's how it works

[last drift]

oh, god, no, ghosts arent that smart. close the door

your logic is sound, but no, close the door.

i dont disagree with you, but close the door. ghosts wont notice if it got closed. just that they still cant see you so you might not be there

ghosts are dumb.

imagine if a ghost could "remember" the open closet door is suddenly closed. Jesus that would be terrifying

[wise oyster]

just remember: Holding onto closet/locker doors = Good. holding onto regular doors = Bad

[last drift]

fighting with a ghost to keep the closet door closed to ensure no LOS

ok so now i have to find a way to come up with 50 bucks that i can just throw down the toilet.

Cause i want that music box

[harsh pawn]

Is it a actual music box?

That plays music?

[wise oyster]

yeah, in #social-media-feed

[last drift]

yes!

with the sheet music for adrift and everything

it's a 1:1 recreation of the in game music box

[cobalt onyx]

I want the music box 😭 but after currency conversion it’s almost $100

[last drift]

like im about to beg 5 friends for 10 bucks

fuck FUCK FUCK I DONT HAVE 5 FRIENDS

[marsh schooner]

alr so i js finished my hunt, n the ghost was banshee but banshee is a singer, n the ghost wasnt singing just moaning or wtv, it js kept on going "uhkkkkk" sum like that

[cobalt onyx]

I’ll be your friend but I have no money

[wise oyster]

hunt sounds are random per ghost per game

Banshees are more likely to do singing events, but they don't have to

[marsh schooner]

how possible is it i find dots tho, cuz in almost all my hunts i never never never find dots evidence

[thorn shale]

Ah yes humming at 12 am midnight lights off 0% brightness

[last drift]

banshees are vocalists. not singers. there's a difference

[thorn shale]

Gotta love it

[last drift]

I'm a vocalist. Britney spears is a singer.

[wise oyster]

You won't get DOTS during a hunt. Place the DOTS (or both of them) so it has good coverage in the ghost room

[last drift]

i mean..

in a very NICHE example...

due to a bug... 😛

you COULD get dots during a hunt

LMFAOOoo

im sorry that makes me giggle

[cobalt onyx]

I’m so glad I haven’t experienced a dots state hunt

[wise oyster]

yeah every time some general statement is made, everyone feels the need to point out every rare exception, but I prefer to try not to overload people asking basic questions w/ too much info

[last drift]

oh I hope you know im just being facetious and silly

I agree, keep the facts to facts, dont bog down with too much detail, especially if it's NICHE

[wise oyster]

mostly, but it's not just you in the slightest

[nova nimbus]

So earlier when I completed Apocalypse Legend I noticed I got the bronze and gold trophies on the display, but not the silver. Is this a bug or do I got to go play the silver one?

[last drift]

no its a visual bug

restart your lobby join a single player lobby then quit and join again

[wise oyster]

sometimes you need to reload into a new singleplayer lobby to trigger it, but it should show up

[last drift]

then check your trophy case

[sharp urchin]

Why does it say my most played map is sunny meadows restricted

[nova nimbus]

Roger. Thanks guys ❤️

[sharp urchin]

Despite me playing on it maybe twice

[lime token]

Its a bug

[last drift]

bug'

[sharp urchin]

Rip

[slim whale]

@vestal ferry boop
Hellow

[upper heath]

real

[wise oyster]

B/c since the first week of the Blood Moon event, every game has been recorded in stats as SM:R

so about a month now

[thorn shale]

Shiii

[neon holly]

anyone having problems with lobbys kicking them

[wise oyster]

Yeah just about everyone who endeavors to play publics

[keen tulip]

Can sound sensors pickup from different floors

[hazy magnet]

yo, is it true or not that if you aren't using the in-game voice chat but have your microphone on and talk during a hunt the ghost still hears you? I heard that back like 3 years ago when I started the game and have no clue if it's actually true or not lol

[neon holly]

were in private and its kicking people

[wise oyster]

if you have Push-to-talk on, then no the ghost can't hear you during a hunt if you don't key up

[wise oyster]

oh, then no sorry, idk

[hazy magnet]

k

[leaden glen]

if you're not muted

otherwise no

[upper heath]

rel

[ocean marsh]

Can someone help me

I want to play with a friend, but it says game not found

[pale crow]

Have you tried finding the game?

[cobalt onyx]

Are you in the same region and both have crossplay enabled?

[ocean marsh]

yes

[cobalt onyx]

You’re sure you entered the code right?

Also if one/both of you are on console, you need the associated console online package

[fiery thunder]

i need some help, game chat aint working

[harsh pawn]

You sure the code you gave you is right and that you typed it in right?

[ocean marsh]

yes

[harsh pawn]

Or that your on the same servers

[ocean marsh]

is there a crossplay between PS5 and pcvr?

[harsh pawn]

Yes

Did you put the correct server ?

[ocean marsh]

Yeah so idk why it didn't work

[ocean marsh]

Yed

[harsh pawn]

Like na or eu

[steel bolt]

is this game worth playing for a solo player?

especially without mic

[harsh pawn]

Ehh

[steel bolt]

i have mic i mean

but like without discord

[eager hearth]

Oh yeah it is

[steel bolt]

or i will ruin the exp for everyone

[eager hearth]

There is in game vc

[harsh pawn]

I was saying ehh on the solo part

[steel bolt]

oh i see

[drowsy vigil]

i'm enjoying solo a lot tbf

[steel bolt]

im comming after long time to this game i only have 5+ hours lol

[fiery thunder]

anyone know how to get game chat working? mines isnt and i got no clue why

[harsh pawn]

Is your thing on push to talk?

[cobalt onyx]

There’s lots of voice issues, I recommend using a discord vc when possible

[steel bolt]

i never completed a story mode game in my life. i just like multiplayer games. they make my dopamine boost and it feels more interactive n rewarding to me. single player games feel like huge time investment to me.

[harsh pawn]

Open the settings and go to audio then turn it to voice activity

[fiery thunder]

thats what weve been going

i think its already on that

[harsh pawn]

If you want push to talk see the keybind for it

[drowsy vigil]

check that the input it's checking is the actual input you're using
like mine can pick between my headphones' mic and my laptop mic
(neither works but that's beside the point)

[eager hearth]

Make sure both the game and your computer are set to the correct mic. That is what always gets me

[fiery thunder]

both are set to my headphones

[steel bolt]

any opinion regarding ur style guys?

[eager hearth]

Do you have a detachable mic? Sometimes I forget to plug it in to my headset all the way

[drowsy vigil]

i struggle with multiplayer games in general
i need to do things at my own pace
not to mention fitting it around cooking eating cleaning etc

[jagged dune]

what thermometer tier is best?

[drowsy vigil]

i watched both blood on the clocktower and phasmophobia played by others for years before trying either myself
phasmo has stuck because i can hop in and do exactly what i want to do, when i want to

[drowsy vigil]

tier 3 is pretty uncontested these days unless you want to do some unusual playstyle things that only work with T1

[fiery thunder]

bt

[eager hearth]

Ah

[jagged dune]

uncontested as in the best?

[drowsy vigil]

yes

when they realised people were using T1 even after unlocking higher levels
they buffed the accuracy and user-friendliness of T2 and T3
and nerfed the accuracy of T1

it's nice that you can just pick up the T1 if it's in the right room and the reading is right there
but the room-to-room near instant catchup makes the T2 and T3 better most of the time

[fading void]

Hey, as anybody found a workaround for the global chat rebind bug ? Is there some file you can modify ?

[last drift]

No and modifying files is bannable

[hearty salmon]

There probably is, but it's against the eula I believe

[last drift]

#known-issues

If you're on console , you can use a second program to modify your hot keys

[fading void]

I see, thanks for the info

[last drift]

For example use a program that when I hold the fourth mouse button it actually holds down the b key

I don't do that.I used the default controls

But i'm told that is an option.

[fading void]

yeah but I thought about that but didn't want to go through that much hassle

[last drift]

And since you're not modifying the game itself it's perfectly legal

[fading void]

I'll just wait for them to fix it, shouldn't be that long 🤷‍♂️ thanks for the help !

[hearty salmon]

Next time I get a banshee with my friend who is new to the game, I will try to find who is the target, and if it's me, I will force him to throw himself at the ghost

[harsh pawn]

I've been able to rebind it with no issue but the bug may be recent

[burnt trench]

Does anyone know what is causing my game to keep kicking me out
Disconnected:ClientTimeout
I am literally unable to finish a game and it’s only started doing it today, it’s been happening to other Xbox players too

[hearty salmon]

Or just lure the ghost through him

[last drift]

It's a #known-issues that global chat has issues being rebound.

[harsh pawn]

I never experienced said issue so idk if it's recent or not

[slate spire]

why is my head bobbing not working? i have it toggled on but it aint working

[umbral snow]

its broken atm im pretty sure

[hearty salmon]

It's extremely faint, I have it on, but it took my a while to actually notice it

[slate spire]

ive seen streamers playing and its working perfectly fine for them

[hearty salmon]

You can notice it the most if you walk into a wall that thinks you should still be walking

[umbral snow]

i dont even know why people like head bobbing if i turned it on i might throw up

[humble garnet]

The game has some weird quirks if you play on a Linux computer. Voice recognition not working, fair enough, I'll use text. The in game voice chat not functioning in multiplayer lobbies, but working in game is kind of wild though.

[umbral snow]

solution: don't use linux

begins typing angry paragraph

[humble garnet]

Not tossing my older computer, so I'll live with it

Just find it weird that the voice chat is somehow different in the lobby, than in a map.

[torn flare]

@south violet

[bleak briar]

Just waiting for the update that makes it so I can actually use it 😭

[last drift]

Voice recognition should work on linux using vosk. As for a game chat, Ever since the console release there's been major issues

In my experience I find that console players cannot hear me or I can't hear them. I don't have that same experience with pc players.

[uneven epoch]

Ii just got the bug where I couldn't drop my items and I had the tarot cards

[thorn shale]

Oop

I thought that was gone like a year ago

[uneven epoch]

Of course with MY Luck I got death twice

[humble garnet]

Honestly, that feels like fate has decided, you must pull those Tarot Cards.

[harsh pawn]

The tarrot cards have spoken

[uneven epoch]

Yeah stinks for my group though

[harsh pawn]

Dead men tell no tales

[umbral snow]

all true phasmo players pull the tarot cards as a group if they spawn

[humble garnet]

That is fair.

[north ravine]

would it be frowned upon to plug my twitch? lol im live on phas rn

tough

thanks lmao

[warped knoll]

For the freezing temp, does being able to see your breath indicate freezing temp? Even if the temperature hasn’t went to 0 yet?

[thorny plank]

is ouija bugged rn?

everytime we use it even if we say goodbye it hunts

[south violet]

maybe

[south violet]

i think it could be weather on the maps not sure

[humble garnet]

Not usually. Seeing your breath means it's close, but that happens in snow, and with non freezing ghosts. Just indicates a colder area.

[raven jetty]

i cannot complete objective survive ghost hunt even after surviving a noirmal ant cursed hunt for 3 games rn

[thin spindle]

-Pokes the Trollo Board-

C'mon. Do something

[south violet]

did you turn everything off and hide during a hunt

[thin spindle]

Did someone Else Die?

[raven jetty]

yep

[cerulean marsh]

escape a ghost during a hunt means it has to be chasing someone but not kill them.

[raven jetty]

no one died i start hunt with monkey paw and used insence then hided and no one died that hunt

[raven jetty]

it did chase me

i always first loop around then, use insence and hide so idk what happend

[thin spindle]

That's why. You can't use a cursed item for the obj

[raven jetty]

aah

but other games it was without like im confused

[thin spindle]

No. I've been solo and gotten it without it chasing me

[raven jetty]

it was on tanglewood btw

[cerulean marsh]

It was chasing you without you knowing

[thin spindle]

Negative.

[cerulean marsh]

you have to escape it DURING a hunt. Not just survive a hunt.

[thin spindle]

I hid in a closet til it hunted.

[fading sun]

To get the escape you need to trigger a hunt AND be seen by the ghost. THEN disappear

[cobalt onyx]

Yeah it needs to see you for it to count

[raven jetty]

i was waiting kitchen to start hunt and then loop it and then hide on the long house idk what map it was

[fading sun]

And if you or anyone else dies it fails

[austere pendant]

Guys! I’m standing outside my house and getting freezing temp 😱

[cobalt onyx]

Go back inside lmao

[jagged dune]

prox chat and radio are overlapping

[austere pendant]

Cant lol gotta pick my brother up from school

[raven jetty]

ingame chat is bugging the whole week for me

[jagged dune]

ya, if i get close to a person it becomes prox chat, even if they use radio

[golden isle]

should they re-examine the new player experience again? It doesn't make sense that you don't start with the camera

[cobalt onyx]

New players can get overwhelmed with too much equipment

Start with the basics and add new stuff as you level

[fading sun]

You guys started with the same amount of stuff we started with back then. Should be fine

[last drift]

or smudges, or crosses

wait do we start with crosses?

[golden isle]

Is the photo camera considered some complicated tool? It is required to access core gameplay features like bones and the main part of the game (getting evidence).

[drifting dust]

What evidence do you need photo cam for

And you can pick up the bone without a pic

All the pictures are just extra little money things

[south violet]

anyything that you find like foot prints bones etc

[humble garnet]

Technically none. You can get a ghost photo, and extra money with 3 star pictures, but you can also use it to test for a phantom.

[drifting dust]

Its not needed for it. You need UV for footprints

[south violet]

and salt

[golden isle]

It's poor form to play clueless in a discussion. The core gameplay loop is surviving, idenifying the ghost and collecting evidence and new players can't do one of those three things

[drifting dust]

I am not playing clueless? What evidence can you not collect

[drowsy vigil]

all seven evidences are possible with just starter items
i do it every time the daily comes around

[drifting dust]

Photos are purely some extra cash, its not necessary for identifying the ghost with 3ev

[south violet]

but helpful too

[drifting dust]

Helpful, yeah! But for the core starting stuff its not a necessity

[south violet]

but all evidence and photos help identify the ghost at best

[golden isle]

"purely cash". It's exp also and a significant chunk of it too.

[drowsy vigil]

it took me exactly one game as a brand new player to unlock the camera

[south violet]

yes loads

[drifting dust]

Cash and xp are tied, so yes

Luckily you get it early and the levels are exponential

[drowsy vigil]

if you understand the evidence and can identify the ghost, you will go only one game without a camera
if you don't, a camera isn't going to help

[south violet]

but a camera is handy tho

[drowsy vigil]

it's literally one game

for someone who has never played the game before

seven evidence is enough new stuff to learn

[drifting dust]

The starting equipment is pure necessity, not whats helpful

[south violet]

yes but i mean a camera can help tho

[candid moat]

I think there's a bug with console, my friend put all her items in but when I died I lost all my stuff without even putting items in.

[drifting dust]

No one is denying its helpful, its about being necessary for 3ev

[south violet]

thats a bug then

[fading sun]

Most ACTUAL level 1's to this game won't even know wtf to use the camera to help.

Unless they've spent hours on YouTube watching or are prestiging

[golden isle]

well yeah, they are lv 1. Sure would be nice to have it to learn, wouldn't it

[drowsy vigil]

speaking of using the camera as a noob
i am so grateful for the ability to delete a couple of pictures

i take that so much for granted now XD

[drifting dust]

They need to get to level 3, its truly not that much to get cam and then learn from there

[last drift]

your first 50 levels feel like a grind, but after that, its all downhill

[drowsy vigil]

and the XP required for level 3 is literally just identify the ghost once

[last drift]

i got apoc 2 without all t3 unlocks

[drowsy vigil]

(and live, i guess)

[drifting dust]

Maybe a rough take - if you cant do this you dont need cam yet

[drowsy vigil]

yeah exactly

even when you unlock the cam you might be far away from being ready to use it

[snow adder]

Anyone’s game crashing?

[south violet]

true

[south violet]

havent played it yet

[snow adder]

I keep getting “Disconnected: Client timed out”

[south violet]

that happend to me yesterday

[drowsy vigil]

worked fine for me this evening

[snow adder]

It’s happened like 6 times in row now🥲😂

[drowsy vigil]

(actually looking at the XP requirements I might have been lucky to start the game on a day when there was a starter items daily)
(so it might take others 2 games)

[jagged dune]

wich map does have red candles at the entrance of the door?

[drowsy vigil]

red?
hmmmmm
i'm stumped

[jagged dune]

everything has red candles and some kind of cult going on, map is small, looks like 43

[fading sun]

None of them? I don't think?

Unless you mean during the Halloween event there were a load of red candles

[jagged dune]

vid from 3 weeks ago

[fading sun]

Halloween event

[drowsy vigil]

that will be halloween decor then yes

[fading sun]

All that decoration is gone now

[weak spade]

Same! It happened mostly at point home and keeps randomly kicking at least one person out of the party

[snow adder]

For me it’s literally every single map, we’re all on PlayStation and 2/3 of us every game it’s happening😅

[weak spade]

We’re on PlayStation too. There’s only 2 of us in our room but it keeps taking it in turns. We’d not even left the van and the the engine started up went to initialising then sent us back to Home Screen saying the disconnected error

[severe spruce]

Does anyone know why my game would keep crashing displaying "Server disconnected: Client Timeout"

Never did that before, and now does every like 3 minutes

[green anchor]

which ghosts DONT increase speed as los increases

[cobalt onyx]

Hantu thaye Rev deo

[south violet]

im fine playing mines

[cobalt onyx]

I always feel like I’m missing one

[snow adder]

Ah we’re getting into the game but seems to happen mid game or rather annoyingly just before we leave😅

[severe spruce]

Anyone else ever had problems with Client Timeout?

[snow adder]

Seems quite a few of us are today

[severe spruce]

So it's just a today thing?

[snow adder]

I think so, I was able to play it fine last night

[severe spruce]

Cool thanks!

I was going to hit that Prestige 20 today but i'll leave it for tomorrow

[snow adder]

Yeah probably best😅

[daring zinc]

How does the onryo test work

[uncut wigeon]

Bro I just died by a demon hunt in like the first 30-40 seconds

Got the steam achievement tho

[wise oyster]

Be at high sanity, bring in 1-3 candles and a crucifix to ghost room. Light candle(s). If it attempts to hunt after blowing out a candle 3 times, and there are no other flames present, it's an Onryo.

At low sanity, I prefer to keep a flame lit on top of a T2 crucifix. A non-Onryo will eventually hit the cruci with the candle still lit, but an Onryo will keep blowing out the candle and never be able to hit the cruci.

[modern smelt]

Lucky b******... Still missing that one 😂

[uncut wigeon]

lol

[lime token]

Any predictions on when the holiday update comes out?

[modern smelt]

In december

[drowsy vigil]

probably december

jinx XD

[cobalt onyx]

[modern smelt]

Krampus is coming, to toooooooown

[glass trout]

krampus

[modern smelt]

Yeah, just realized that myself.

[ancient tiger]

Do we know when christmas patch hits?

[south wraith]

Given a tuesday release and 2 weeks to play with Christmas falling somewhere on that timeline, I feel like Dec 17 - 31 would be a reasonable estimate?

[ancient tiger]

awesome thank you

[south wraith]

Could be totally different though, thats just my thoughts

[ancient tiger]

Scheduling when to come back to town from work for phasmo patch

[glass trout]

i hope i’m home before my music box arrives

or that the packaging is small enough for my mail box

[cobalt onyx]

Hopefully you get to the music box before any wayward ghosts do

[boreal crag]

Looking for 3 or 2 people if they wanna join me on phas ill give the code in dms and I will be streaming

[pliant gate]

demon achievement counts the time you died or the time the demon started the hunt?

[odd vale]

died, pretty sure

[gritty dove]

Yeh

[placid condor]

how tf do i prestige

im level 100

[glass trout]

go to main menu screen, there will be a button on your ID card

[placid condor]

ah

[pine relic]

I am as well but I like the tier 3s

[glass trout]

prestiging makes you lose all your money and tiers but you keep maps and difficulty

[placid condor]

ty

[pine relic]

Playing with tier ones is to painfull I don’t want to do it yet but I do want to prestige 3

[glass trout]

t1 dots is my biggest reason for not wanting to prestige hahah

[pine relic]

Oh that mine and t1 spirit box

The range so small

[boreal crag]

What map should we do Tanglewood Edgefield 10 Ridgeview Crafton willow street maple lodge camp woodwind prison sunny meadows or the big map bleasdale farmhouse point hope or high school

[cerulean marsh]

I’ve seen conflicting answers… can you do the first apoc on sunny meadows restricted or does it have to be full.

[cerulean marsh]

Tanglewood the goat

[pine relic]

Do you like pain? If so sunny

[cobalt onyx]

Asking this in chat will always result in people demanding you play sunny meadows

[pine relic]

If not tangle wood is fun

[cobalt onyx]

Has to be full

[boreal crag]

I play anything just streaming and Trina cast votes lol

[pine relic]

It a fun map if you like pain

[cobalt onyx]

I don’t like it because of the gore

[heady kiln]

we need to bring arkham brainrot into phasmo

[fleet lintel]

is there a channel for bug reports?

[glass trout]

apoc always has to be full sunny. the inmate ID card can be on restricted though

[pine relic]

I hate it since it so big

[cobalt onyx]

#bug-reports

[silent halo]

In sunny meadows restricted can the ghost travel through locked doors?

[cobalt onyx]

All locked doors except exit doors ye

[glass trout]

they can’t be in the blocked off sections but they can go through locked doors

[severe spruce]

What is the inmate ID card?

[glass trout]

getting the ghost right and surviving 50 games on sunny meadows (full or restricted)

[severe spruce]

Oh its that

[glass trout]

any difficulty (including friendly ghost)

[unique linden]

T1 cams make me angy

[severe spruce]

Thanks sable

[pine relic]

I never new that friendly ghost lets you

[unique linden]

I hope they do like they do on dbd when you prestige by not resetting everything

[glass trout]

i did half of my point hope ones on friendly ghost (regrettably)

[unique linden]

Otherwise I hate that game.

[severe spruce]

I did all of mine for Point hope and ranger camps, just missing the sunny meadows one

[glass trout]

ayyy nice

[pine relic]

I would just get one of my friends who know the game well to run in and guess the ghost for me

[glass trout]

that also works hahahah

[severe spruce]

I'm one of those friends you can take

prestige 19 and lvl 97

[glass trout]

i did all evidence with low sanity drain for the rest

[unique linden]

Nice

[glass trout]

speedrun

[south violet]

Any tips on how to get a ghost photo?

[severe spruce]

Can we add more achievements for higher prestige lvls?

[unique linden]

I am just chilling on phasmo so

[pine relic]

Have a friend take the photo and die

[severe spruce]

Could literally have 20 achievements for each prestige lvl

[south violet]

Bro what happenes if you die tho, you need comp

Exp

[pine relic]

Hide let them be bait

At least that what I do XD

[gusty radish]

Music box has an actual use besides trolling friends

[edgy yoke]

Is there supposed to be a mannequin in the dining room at tanglewood?

[gusty radish]

Also dots counts as ghost photo

[unique linden]

Comp yuck

[glass trout]

ghosts can move them

[gusty radish]

Is enderman supposed to be at woodwind?

[unique linden]

I need a goal to be competitive otherwise there is no point.

[edgy yoke]

But there’s one in the garage aswell

[glass trout]

it’s either in basement or garage

i think garage always has one

[edgy yoke]

First time seeing it happen since it released on console. Was wondering

[glass trout]

[round shale]

Has anyone done the single player apocalypse challenge?

[odd vale]

Many have

[round shale]

Oh ok

Because I’m trying it out right now

[vast narwhal]

Does the game kick you out if you’re inactive?

[daring zinc]

Y’all they should add something in the game to talk to the dead players

I feel like the spirit box should do that

[cobalt onyx]

Set up a way to communicate via thrown items. Like a clipboard thrown onto the keyboard is yes or the floor is no

[vestal ferry]

Nope

[vast narwhal]

I throw things at a piece of equiment when we get it

[vast narwhal]

Slay ty

[modern mauve]

Ah no, I have a squishy room ghost on SM

Managed to rule out a grand total of three ghosts out of 24

[thorn shale]

Shiiii

[calm flower]

just got a DEO on apoc 3 and fumbled it ffs

[gritty dove]

Rip

[humble vortex]

Whats different between sm resctricted and sm?

[cobalt onyx]

Size

Restricted is just one wing of sunny meadows and the regular sm is the entire map

[humble vortex]

Alr thanks

[boreal depot]

Silly question but can you do the onryo test away from the ghost room or is it only in favorite room?

[gritty dove]

I mean you can, but if the ghost is not nearby, nothing will happen

[boreal depot]

Thanks I wasn’t to sure

[round shale]

Theres a glitch for that

[fierce maple]

Any PS5 people getting constant ClientTimeout errors? Its been working fine for a couple weeks and now I cant get into a game for more than a minute

[round shale]

Nope

[azure pier]

Goryo can't change favourite rooms, but can it roam and interact in a room that isn't it's favourite?

[modern mauve]

It can do short roams and interact with stuff within its radius, yes

[azure pier]

how short of a roam is a short roam

[cobalt onyx]

Goryo is lazy and doesn’t like to roam

[modern mauve]

I don't recall the exact numbers, but it's not much

[azure pier]

It was a Goryo

sorry, someone was saying that it couldn't interact with stuff that far so I was curious

[cobalt onyx]

The last goryo I had spent a whopping 17 seconds outside of its favourite room

In a 20 minute investigation

Basically just went far enough to stomp on salt and look at photos on the wall

[glass trout]

i had a goryo not give me dots for like 50 minutes

[carmine basin]

can someone help me lvl up fast plase?

[modern smelt]

-lfg You do know, that higher lvls isn't that important in this game, right?

[prime elk]

Please keep 'looking for group' requests in our designated channels. Check them out, Investigator: #lfg-eu | #lfg-na | #lfg-as | #lfg-sa!

[carmine basin]

ik but i want tier 3 items to help my friend

[modern smelt]

You can help your friend without T3 too. 😁

[carmine basin]

🙂

[modern smelt]

But if you need another player. PM me. I don't have T3 atm, but I know my ghosts

[modest plank]

im in sunny meadows and the guy says there is a cursed object, problem is, there aint any

[azure pier]

14:50 in ghost room 2:07 outside ghost room for goryo

[modern smelt]

Should be in the chapel. What difficulty are you playing?

[modest plank]

Insanity

[modern smelt]

Roamy ghost

[modern smelt]

Insanity doesn't have cursed possessions

[modest plank]

fr?

i was thinking that i could do the apocalypse challenge ez but aight lol

[cobalt onyx]

Ez and apocalypse challenge don’t belong in the same sentence

[modest plank]

na its ez

trust me i got my elton john playlist and 3 litres of water im good

[modern smelt]

Yup. Cursed objects, if used correctly, makes the game easier, sometimes...

[cobalt onyx]

Do the player models have names?

[modern smelt]

Never heard anything about it

But the short red haired guy, will always be Grian to me.

[cobalt onyx]

So if I write a short Phasmo related story, I should call the short ginger by Grian’s name

[modern smelt]

Haha definitely! You could name 4 of the models just from GIGS Phasmopobia streams.

[gritty dove]

As a short ginger, I am insulted

[cobalt onyx]

Guess I better look up everyone’s actual name 😂 I only know Grians

[cobalt onyx]

I could feature you in the story does that help

[modern smelt]

Grian, Impulse, Gem and Skizz.

[gritty dove]

I kid, I love the gigs crew

[modern smelt]

Isn't that just a natural reaction of a ginger?

[gritty dove]

They're that great mix of taking the game seriously enough while also be amusing

[cobalt onyx]

You know what I mean 😂

[modern smelt]

Really is.. They're the reason I play Phasmo

[modern smelt]

Sorry, I think beer is corupting my intelligence.

[cobalt onyx]

If I write a story about Phasmo using the names Grian, Impulse, Gem and Skizz, it’s no longer just Phasmo story. It becomes fanfiction of them

[wraith flume]

how do you know a ghost is a mimic and not smthn else

[cobalt onyx]

But if I use their irl names then people who don’t know those names won’t associate with them

[modern smelt]

Haha true. Ask AI what they would call the models

[cobalt onyx]

No orbs OR ghost writing/DOTS/emf5 as evidence since mimic doesn’t have those evidences

[obsidian epoch]

Hii

[cobalt onyx]

Mimic will always have ghost orbs appear

[modern smelt]

And please make sure the player checking for orbs, is thorough..

[wraith flume]

so wdym by no orbs then

[cobalt onyx]

No orbs = not a mimic

[modern smelt]

Mimic ALWAYS have ghost orbs. Even on 0 evidence.

[wraith flume]

ohh

[cobalt onyx]

I kinda answered the opposite of your question sorry

It’s easier to say what isn’t a mimic 😂

[wraith flume]

nah its fine tyty

[modern smelt]

Getting punked by a mimic on low or zero evidence is so annoying.. "Oh.. You said no ghost orbs?!" or "Oh..... I forgot to check.."

[wraith flume]

lmaoo

so what does a mimic actually do does it mimic like evidence so it might do ghost writing even thought its not a piece of evidence for it or smthn along those lines

[modern smelt]

Why am I just sitting and relaxing to the Phasmo main screen sounds? Just realized I've been sitting and just listening to that

[cobalt onyx]

Mimic cannot do ghost writing because it doesn’t have that evidence. It can only mimic evidences that it does hve

So it can mimic deogen spirit box response, banshee parabolic. Cannot do goryo dots, anything with emf5 or ghost writing

[modern smelt]

It mimics ghost traits and behaviour. It changes every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. It can mimic hunt speed of other ghost, 6 finger UV print from Obake and so on,

-mimic isn't there a command for this

[prime elk]

<:btTheMimic:920241090790064138> The Mimic

One of the most terrifying Ghosts you can go up against, as not even Ghost Huntin' Distribution knows much about it other than the several behaviors it will copy from other Ghost types.

Strengths

Their mysterious and ever-changing traits leave them as terrifying and confusing entities to encounter in investigations.

Weaknesses

The Mimic often provides more evidence than normal Ghosts, leaving behind additional Ghost Orbs evidence.

Have a question? Ask! The Phasmophobia wikipage is an unreliable source.

[modern smelt]

There was.

[cobalt onyx]

Not in depth enough for most people lol

No one clicks on the link

[modern smelt]

Hahahah no. From the ingame book

[wraith flume]

oh cool i get it I havent gotten to that point yet rn I only know how to play collecting 3 evidence to find what ghost it is

[cinder radish]

is someone down to play some phasma? i dont wanna play alone

[cobalt onyx]

Mimic gets easier the less evidence you have

[wraith flume]

I havent gotten to the point in learning what specific ghosts do stuff like how fast or slow a ghost is

[modern smelt]

Oh yeah. @wraith flume , press the ghost hunting resources link and check pinned messages. It'll take you to the cheat sheet. A great tool to learn about ghost and the game.

[rose lava]

I can't even play this game jn vr sad

[modern smelt]

Wait.. The cheat sheet isn't in there.. @wraith flume just google "Phasmophobia Unofficial Cheat Sheet", first hit should be it.

[glass trout]

it's in #fan-creations pinned

[modern smelt]

And that's why it's annoying when you don't get it

[wraith flume]

oh cool tyty

[modern smelt]

Oh. I thought it was in the other 🤦‍♂️

It would make sense for it to be in there

I'm pretty sure that all information on it, is backed up by the developers.

[glass trout]

it's a very cool cheat sheet

[modern smelt]

I almost only use it for the smudge timer now. It's a great tool to learn from

[slim whale]

Sable hii

[glass trout]

i use livesplit for the smudge timer but i try not to make a habit of it when looping on cww bc i get myself killed haha

hellooo

[modern smelt]

Haha.

[modern smelt]

Does it have a hunt timer that can be configurated? Hunt timer on Cheat Sheet only counts 30 for normal hunts..

[glass trout]

livesplit isnt for phasmo specifically, it's for speedrunners. i have to configure my own settings for it

i just click buttons to start, pause or reset it

[modern smelt]

Oh. I'll check it out. See what it can do.

[glass trout]

its very fun

can be a bit annoying if you tab out too much

i just like having an all pink timer lol

[modern smelt]

Hahaha

yooooo good job

there is a #screenshots chat btw hahaha

[tepid lotus]

can myling footsteps be heard through paramic?

I'm trying to do apocalypse 3 and its meant to be hunting but I dont hear it at all

[gritty dove]

Yes it can. You may just not be close enough to hear it

Even with paramic

[glass trout]

that means the ghost is really far

[tepid lotus]

oof

ok so

it killed me and no footsteps

mimic apparently

[delicate vector]

No footsteps = spawned right on top of you

[tepid lotus]

.....

fun
well the time before it sure didnt

the second time it was footsteps 3 secs before getting me

[delicate vector]

If you're playing on a difficulty that has any grace period, you should hear it right before it hunts. If you're playing on a difficulty that has no grace period, then that can happen unfortunately

[tepid lotus]

apocallypse 3 ye

[gritty dove]

Probably mimicked a teleporter or roamer

[hidden torrent]

How does one use a crucifix?

[gritty dove]

When you place a cruci with f, it will show you a circle. That is the range in which it will work. If a ghost tries to hunt, but is within range of the cruci, it will burn the cruci instead

[tepid lotus]

place it near the area the ghost starts hunts in

[gritty dove]

Often you'd place it either in the ghost room, or if you suspect a teleporter or roamer, close to you

[cobalt onyx]

Don’t throw it at an already hunting ghost, it won’t save you

[south wraith]

It does, just make sure you have the right difficulty selected and the correct map selected (both of those impact hunt length)

[gritty dove]

The overlay is so useful

[modern smelt]

It still says 30 for normal hunts, even if I have it on apocalypse

[gritty dove]

Map size matters too, like zero said

[south wraith]

Do you have Sunny Meadows selected as the map?

[cobalt onyx]

Size DOES matter… thank you

[modern smelt]

Oh, I have to select the map too?

[hearty salmon]

The larger the map, the longer hunts last

[south wraith]

yeah? Hunt length is different on small, medium, and large maps

[gritty dove]

I'm lucky no staff is here to take it out of context for blackmail

[modern smelt]

That's fucking news to me Didn't even realize

[hidden torrent]

Hey would anybody be willing to teach me how to play in a game?

hey bud we have a chat for this. You're looking for a group. We have Looking for group chats. Thats what LFG means. Looking for Group. Post your request in an LFG chat. if people wanna play they'll see it.

[obsidian hamlet]

Oh so sorry didnt mean

Didnt realise

[last drift]

i figured you either were ignoring the other people responding to you or the chat in general, so i thought i'd point it out directly. ⁠

[shy cypress]

what happens if you reach for an example level 110 and then prestige

is it pointless or should i prestige at level 100

[last drift]

prestige when you can or else its wasted experience

[glass trout]

getting the extra 10 levels are pointless

[shy cypress]

alright bet

thank you, just had to know just in case

[lime urchin]

I have this weekly challenge it's driving me nuts

[eternal fulcrum]

does only first smudge count for 1:30 timer? or it gets reset by second

[lime urchin]

I need two more

[last drift]

i believe the timer resets. dont quote me on that

[cobalt onyx]

Only the first one counts

[south violet]

no timer does not reset with a 2nd smudge , first smudge starts timer anymore does nothing

[cobalt onyx]

A second one is wasted

[south violet]

can still use 2nd smudge if you need to get away but yea for timer timing spirit or demon check just the first

[last drift]

there ya go. more educated people 🙂

[sharp urchin]

Timer for what?

[fossil hawk]

heyhey, so, when i prestige do i lose all the tier equipment and do i have to level again ?

[sharp urchin]

Yes

[fossil hawk]

Whats the point of prestiging then if i may ask

[native fiber]

Flex

Idk XD I just assume that's why you'd prestige in anything

[sharp urchin]

the point of most prestige systems (flexing)

[last drift]

earning unique cards and badges

unlocking more loadouts, bragging rights

[sharp urchin]

Oh right the load outs

[fossil hawk]

Ohh i see i see so bassically the cards and badges as loadouts ( wouldnt know why i need more then 3

Awesome thanks for reacting :)

[sharp urchin]

What timer are y'all talking about? Is it to test something

[last drift]

smudge timers

[fossil hawk]

when u smudge the ghostroom a ghost cant hunt for some time

[last drift]

i was wrong, ignore me.

[fossil hawk]

think its 60 Demon -90 ALl others -180 Spirit

[south violet]

yes the timer for the smudge test for spirit or demon......after smudging a spirit it cant hunt for 3 minutes and a demon can hunt after 1 minute every other ghost can hunt after 90 seconds of being smudged

[cedar umbra]

It's okay Hammond, you're right 1/5 times

[last drift]

me knowing im mostly wrong is a strength! lol

[cedar umbra]

I fully agree!

[austere pendant]

My sister isn’t able to connect to the game through steam

[cedar umbra]

Ah dang I wish I could look at old tickets. I saw an interesting one in tech support and I didn't get to see what the resolution to it was 😦

[terse stratus]

my friend is able to see the ghost, but its not on my screen

[cedar umbra]

Try #common-tech-fixes

[cedar umbra]

Like, during a ghost event or?

[terse stratus]

nope

[sharp urchin]

Ohh ok ty

[terse stratus]

just the ghost staying there

[cedar umbra]

I don't really understand... Like during a hunt?

[sharp urchin]

Maybe it's the event where the ghost is like a shadow

I can't see it sometimes lol

Shadow/silhouette idk

[last drift]

your friend activated their hotkey to show the ghost and it doesnt deactivate it. this happens when you dont know how to use the cheat software, and you're friend is probably getting their password stolen

[terse stratus]

#screenshots

[sharp urchin]

Oh

[terse stratus]

they are using cheats?

[last drift]

thats all ill say.

[sharp urchin]

What a shit friend

[terse stratus]

yeah i think they are, they said it was 100% a yurei like as soon as we went in the house and they were right

[last drift]

oh i know they are. without a shadow of a doubt. you should report them

[sharp urchin]

Ew

[daring zinc]

I need help picking a T2 item to buy

[last drift]

i even know what program they're using, and they're 100% getting their accounts stolen

[cobalt onyx]

Time to make new, better friends that don’t feel the need to cheat at co-op games

[sharp urchin]

Cheating on a game like this how sad

[sharp urchin]

This!!

[cobalt onyx]

Dots

[daring zinc]

Photo camera
Uv light
Flashlight
Ghost writing book

[last drift]

camera, dots, spirit box

[sharp urchin]

Uv light

[daring zinc]

I’m not high enough yet

[last drift]

UV is a good one too

UV and Book

[cobalt onyx]

Then UV

[sharp urchin]

Unless you're playing on big maps I don't find flashlights useful

[terse stratus]

how do i do that?

[last drift]

ignore the flashlights, youll get a headlamp

[sharp urchin]

^^

[last drift]

Journal > RECENT PLAYERS > RED TRIANGLE

[daring zinc]

Alright

[last drift]

if you can video clip them doing stuff, send it to @violet nova

[daring zinc]

When is that

[last drift]

soon. you dont need flashlights at your level. you should be staying in the light

keep the ghost room dark, stay in the light

[terse stratus]

alright i did

[terse stratus]

their sanity was 100% the entire game

[daring zinc]

I’m assuming the T2 head gear is it?

[sonic kiln]

I don’t have that channel for some reason lmao. It says it’s not in my channel list

[terse stratus]

ill try to get a video

[last drift]

yup!

[last drift]

top of channel list, click CHANNELS & ROLES

make sure you follow it all

[south violet]

t2 headgear at lvl 49

[daring zinc]

That will take so long

[last drift]

trust once you hit lvl 50, its all downhill

[cobalt onyx]

I say that about turning 30

[south violet]

na its all fun just enjoy the game

[sonic kiln]

Yay I’m improving I’m happy

[south violet]

think i missed something there

[terse stratus]

what button can i tell them to press on screenshare to see if they are cheating

[slender patrol]

What are the parabolic headphones used for?

[last drift]

listening for spoopy sounds

[paper blade]

is there a way to still get the Prestige 1 reward for playing the old version of the game? I reached level 35 and all my friends have it but for some reason I never received the reward which has set me back from my friends since we have all started playing regularly

[last drift]

stand outside the ghost room and point it at the door

[finite dagger]

💯

[slender patrol]

Ohhhh okay thanks a lot but why would someone need to hear sounds?

[cobalt onyx]

The game uses a lot of audio cues

[last drift]

CTRL SHIFT ESC

itll open their task manager and we can see running processess lol

[last drift]

to find the ghost, to identify a possible banshee or moroi, objectives

[terse stratus]

is there an ingame menu or no

[last drift]

they can set their own hotkeys, but windows hasnt changed the task manager ever

[terse stratus]

ok idk what im looking for tho

[slender patrol]

Ohhhh okay thanks a lot that makes more sense now

[last drift]

if it's screenshare they're only sharing the phasmo window, not the whole desktop, you wont see anything. best to just capture them "guessing" the ghost right at the start and capturing them being right later. or if you notice they're talking about the ghost location or seeing it without seeing it yourself

[magic tiger]

Surprised Nvidia hasn't added their own Task manager to Experience

[last drift]

otherwise just report from journal and leave.

[dense ocean]

Starting cursed hunts on no item loss mode is very good exposure therapy

[terse stratus]

is it wemod? they had it in their task managar

[last drift]

if you got a clip of that send it to @violet nova with my deepest respect

noobzoid single handled taking down the scum of the earth

what a champion

[terse stratus]

gotcha ill send it in modmail

[last drift]

dummy actually opened his task manager lololol

[terse stratus]

they said "why is it slow to open" (99% sure its on their second monitor) and took like 2 mins to show it to me

[last drift]

LMFAOO

[terse stratus]

i sent a modmail report

[austere pendant]

Can a mare hunt early in the dark? Because my sister said my sanity was 52

[last drift]

If the lights are turned off, the hunt sanity threshold is increased to 60%, and if the lights are turned on, the threshold is decreased to 40%

[cobalt onyx]

Mare can hunt at 60% in the dark

Hammond too fast

[last drift]

Ulbraxtika comin in with the co-sign! Thanks partner!~

[tepid lotus]

how does one escape once a ghost has seen them in apocalypse 3?

[austere pendant]

Ah. Thank you, we’re doing glow in the dark

[last drift]

fun!

[tepid lotus]

do I just accept my death

[last drift]

i do, but i scream the entire time

[austere pendant]

We suck at this lmao

[cobalt onyx]

You can smudge and try to lose LOS but there aren’t many good hiding spots

[tepid lotus]

if any really lol

[maiden chasm]

do all ghosts hunt for the same duration

[last drift]

generally, yes

[wise oyster]

Yes, hunt duration is determined by diffculty settings, map size, and whether or not it's a cursed hunt.

[maiden chasm]

nice

[brisk valley]

I hope the Christmas/Holiday event isn't another community event. The last one wasn't fun and neither was the last "holiday" event.

[wise oyster]

it is definitely going to be a community event. Hopefully they've improved a lot of things since the last one

[last drift]

i hope it is, but has personal milestones

[wise oyster]

My personal guess is that it's not going to. They didn't start from scratch on the holiday event after Blood Moon, it was probably mostly done already.

I'd love to be wrong, ofc.

[gritty dove]

You didn't like last year with the snowmen?

[last drift]

Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.

[gritty dove]

I LOVED the snowmen and the snowball gun

In fact I need the snowball gun back

[cobalt matrix]

Snowmen are peak

[last drift]

Holiday 2024 event added this card to In Progress
Sep 24, 2024

Its now in beta testing

[cobalt matrix]

They should add a snowman boss battle where you have to snowball the ghost 😂😂

[cobalt onyx]

I loved the snowball gun

Let us use it in the lobby

[wise oyster]

The problem with last year's was each map needed 10-15% fewer snowmen. There were so many it often became a headache trying to track down which of the 40 snowment you missed.

[gritty dove]

Solo, definitely. Between the 4 of us it was fine

[last drift]

i loved last years event

but i want the cookie event again

[wise oyster]

I duo'd it, it was a very cool event. Just didn't need that many per map. take away the hardest few and it's perfect

[gritty dove]

The cookie event was the first one I did

I was so scared

[wise oyster]

cookies was tons of fun

[cobalt onyx]

I didn’t have a computer that could run Phasmo for that one 😔

[wise oyster]

the SUPER LOUD jingle bells steps

[gritty dove]

I ran out of the house every time after placing the cookies

[dense ocean]

Just accidentally completed a no evidence run.. sort of I guess

[last drift]

mimic?

[dense ocean]

I had item loss off and all cursed items on bc I wanted to practice maneuvering hunting ghosts but I noticed the ghost wasn't stepping in the salt

So I guess wraith and leave and am correct

[last drift]

thats a win!

[dense ocean]

😎

[brisk valley]

No. You had to take soo much time to do, was very annoying to find little snowmen that were in bs spots and there wasn't even any remote reference to any December holiday in the badge, ID card, nor even the event itself. It was all just snowmen

[last drift]

big brain!!

[modern mauve]

I've enjoyed each event to varying degrees

[cobalt onyx]

I like that it didn’t reference any specific holiday. Not everyone celebrates the big ones

[last drift]

you mean the Snowman Slayer badge?

[gritty dove]

So you want an event that takes little time to do? I mean fair but I like an event I don't fly through in an hour

[cobalt onyx]

There’s a reason why I keep saying winter holiday event and not chrimas

[last drift]

exactly, holiday event

[gritty dove]

It's inclusive! I like that

[spiral pebble]

I just said "I wish for knowledge while walking out the building (In Phasmo VR) . I threw the monkey paw away before its animation finished. When I actually entered the room (about 5 seconds later) a hunt begun. I was at 95+ sanity and it wasn't a demon, it was a raiju. Did the hunt begin because of the monkey paw or can the raiju attack early?

[brisk valley]

No like something that actually feels festive and satisfying to complete

[cobalt matrix]

tbf the time for the Halloween one we had this year took AGEEESSSS

[last drift]

the paw

[cobalt matrix]

I get wanting it done right away

[spiral pebble]

damn cursed thing (I survived)

[cobalt matrix]

but ngl it didn't take me very long to get all the snowmen in the Christmas event

[gritty dove]

I can't disagree there were issues with the balancing

[last drift]

OOF! they cried as i popped their chubby faces with my snowball gun

[gritty dove]

Hell my friend group did all the snowmen several times just for fun

[wise oyster]

and rewards delivery. They had a leaderboard so they know who participated. Just have rewards auto-delivered to those eligible.

[gritty dove]

Occasionally accidentally starting a hunt because we hadn't communicated that all the snowmen were gone

[last drift]

oh i did a new emoji wanna see?

[cobalt onyx]

That was my job! The shit disturber, starting the hunt when no one wanted it

[spiral pebble]

I also almost managed to loop a demon in vr around the couch in 13 Willow street

[gritty dove]

I wouldn't hate that

[last drift]

Check for orbs yall!

[gritty dove]

I assume the intent was to keep people engaged but 🤷‍♀️

[modern mauve]

I don't really want to see a leaderboard, not opposed to the Devs having their own tho

[gritty dove]

Cute!

[brisk valley]

Honestly, I'd like the option to choose what kind of ID card I'd like when I complete it. Like say for example, having a Christmassy ID card for those who'd like it and snow related thing for those who don't.

[wise oyster]

Yeah but you're always gonna have problems if you create a system where someone is eligible for a reward (and in Blood Moon presumably everyone was?) and only give them a limited window to claim it.

[last drift]

we got that with prestige!

i like this idea!

[modern mauve]

And this time they have more accurate data to work with

[rose glade]

whats the channel again for infos about the ghosts etc?

[gritty dove]

The point they made was you were only eligible if you clicked the altar. Again, not my choice or words. I would be fine with everyone who participated getting it regardless.

[modern mauve]

#1254568921110024254

[wise oyster]

#1254568921110024254

[rose glade]

is there a way to always have this visible? it wasnt there before I clicked on it xd

[brisk valley]

No like you choose which design you want from the event from a select few when you complete a holiday related event. It would make players feel more in control of what rewards they'd like from the two or three they have to choose after completing the event

[glass trout]

show all channels in server settings

[wise oyster]

Yeah, that creates the aforementioned problem where someone might have been very active early in the event but missed the rewards at the end.

Instead of giving everyone a limited window, only give it to those who participate, but just give it to them.

[gritty dove]

I agree

I literally couldn't care less if someone was only able to log in once and do a single game

[wise oyster]

Here's another idea: create a minimum threshold of points or whatnot you need to earn. Want a better reward? You need 500 points? Want the best reward? That'll be 1000.

[last drift]

the whole event centered on clicking the altar for rewards, but i agree, it could've been must more stressed and worded to click this freaking thing ASAP or else you'll miss it

[rose glade]

thanks

[gritty dove]

However it's also a balance between those that want to feel like they were rewarded for a reason and those that feel left out when it's not automatically given

You can't make everyone happy

[last drift]

or just rewards for your milestones. You did 1000 points? heres a badge. 5000? new id card.

[modern mauve]

I understand why they wanted something people had to log in and click on, but there are definitely more elegant ways

[wise oyster]

I'm not even saying it should be like that, but that'd be a more fair system than Blood Moon had

[wise oyster]

yeah that's what I was getting at

[last drift]

i think that would've made everyone happy

[gritty dove]

It would not

[last drift]

i got my dumb trophy but you would've gotten badges and cards

[modern mauve]

Btw, I actually forgot to get the trophy on my ps5 save

[wise oyster]

well some would complain they have to "no life" the game to "grind" for rewards

[gritty dove]

Then people would complain 'Well I don't have the time to get 1000 points cause I work!'

Just like they did for this

[last drift]

i mean to be fair, thats my fault, not theirs, but i hear this.. and now i cant unhear it

[wise oyster]

anyone complaing like that about the event as a whole just doesn't get how it's going to work (we're always going to complete it)

[gritty dove]

Oh no it's absolutely fair not everyone has the time to sink hours and hours into an event

[static gust]

anyone know how to fix broken voice chat? the ghosts can hear me through spirit box but my teammates cant

[gritty dove]

That was honestly mostly about the window to collect it

[maiden chasm]

ive had this bug too where in multiplayer your vc just breaks entirely

[modern mauve]

My take is that it's okay to have faults with the event, and verbalise them, but let's not make out that the Devs are evil and malicious whilst doing so

[maiden chasm]

i think its caused by alt tabbing too much or something

it fixes immediately as the game ends too which is weird

[modern mauve]

I draw the line at unjustified disrespect

[static gust]

im lobby hopping trying to get it to work, do you think itll fix once the game loads up?

[wise oyster]

Yeah window is bad. That'd be the #1 thing they should have made sure to fix between events

[maiden chasm]

no clue tbh but probably

[last drift]

its a console issue, from what ive seen. i dont have those issues with PC users

are your teammates on console?

[maiden chasm]

wrong reply

[last drift]

yes wrong reply

[gritty dove]

Hehe

[last drift]

chat mvoes fast my old fingers slow

[maiden chasm]

idk i had it on a full pc lobby

[last drift]

interesting!

[maiden chasm]

where i cant hear my teammates and they cant hear me

then when we leave it fixes

[last drift]

you can try double tapping the windows key, set your mic to disable exclusive mode

[wise oyster]

that's usually for voice rec

[static gust]

no its literally everyone in every lobby

[maiden chasm]

its not too common of a bug for me at least but its sort of annoying

[last drift]

its definitely a common bug

a lot of tech support posts

[wise oyster]

prolly something vivox

[last drift]

and its heavily persistent since the console release

[hybrid birch]

how do you rest for mare with broken breaker?

[cobalt onyx]

Mare doesn’t care about the breaker. Just the position of the light switch

[wispy ferry]

Flick on a light switch and see if it immediately flicks it back off

[hybrid birch]

oh so if I flip a light switch and it isn't even on it will just turn it off??

[wispy ferry]

The only time it gives a damn about position is if the ghost broke the lights in the room

[hybrid birch]

I thought the breaker mattered 😭😭😭😭

[cobalt onyx]

Hantu and Jinn care about the breaker

[wispy ferry]

Having the breaker is great cause you get instant feedback if it turns the light off instantly, but it doesn’t ultimately matter for mares, it just matter if the ghost broke the lights or not

[cobalt onyx]

Mare is just hyper OCD about switch position

[hybrid birch]

ohh okay

[ivory urchin]

hello people goodmorning/evening/afite

[hybrid birch]

also, any tips for learning about ghost abilities / hoe to figure it out because I know like phantom hantu wraith all the basic ones kinda but I can't get like goryo and like others with no evidence woodwind

[rose glade]

does the campfire on camp woodwind count towards the onyro in terms of being like a crucifix?

[cobalt onyx]

It’s recommended to learn the evidences first and then learn the traits and behaviours. Nightmare mode with 2 evidence is a good training point, it narrows the ghost down and then you have to figure out what it is

[south violet]

check out the phasmophobia cheat sheet from github its great for info

[wise oyster]

pinned in #fan-creations

[hybrid birch]

yeah I have been using that I'm on console so I can't use the BPM thing which I don't really understand

thanks guys

[wise oyster]

it should work ok on mobile. Just tap along to the ghost's footsteps.

[hybrid birch]

I'm actually so dumb 😶 I thought it picked up sound 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[cobalt onyx]

A very easy mistake to make, it’s ok

[hybrid birch]

had my sound up and everything 🤣

[wise oyster]

nah, he tried that (never released it). There's too much other noise that it can't pick up what's the ghost and what's other players.

[hybrid birch]

makes sense

[hard bison]

what do you have to do in challenge mode?? is ghost photo required??
