phasmo-chat

[grave wadi]

my sanity

[willow umbra]

or we run 100 trait tests and get goryo by elimination, but then it decides to show dots after all that work

[forest radish]

If it ain’t giving you the third evidence you start doing tests instead

[willow umbra]

that is the most infuriating thing for me

[heady flint]

literally last second every time and we've been checking it the WHOLE time (usually when someones taking a snack break they go on dot/orb watch in the truck)

[heady flint]

until it's a normal ass speed ghost and we're like oh boy we have 6 options yaaaaay

its ALWAYS dots when it does that believe it

[heavy bear]

alright im gonna go get a kebab happy hunting guys

[forest radish]

I don’t even mean hunt tests

I’m like doing Onryo tests and Wraith tests and stuff if available

[willow umbra]

only 6??? goddamn lucky ass

[heady flint]

oh wraith is always one od the first things we can rule out one of my crew loves salt

onryo always ends up as a last test for some reason despite my best efforts and then thats when the dots pop up

[echo sand]

no but like there is 2 different ones one is for doing the DEVOTED which says "complete 10 weekly tasks" and TAKING ALL THE CHALLENGES which says "Complete the weekly challenge mode 10 times" I believed that the TAKING ALL THE CHALLENGES is for doing the weekly challenge 3x which was the Do as I command, but im asking about DEVOTED, it is tied to the weekly tasks tab right? which has challenges like "earn perfect investigation bonuses 5x" or "use cursed possesions 50x" Do i need to chomplete all 4 of those weekly tasks to get 1 out of 10 towards devoted? or is it 10 different weekly tasks in general?

[heady flint]

OH ok so weekly tasks are the things worth like $50

[willow umbra]

just in general iirc

[vestal ferry]

weekly challenge is the one you do 3 times to complete. the weekly tasks are on the clip boards

[heady flint]

so you just need to complete 10 of them, any week

[indigo wagon]

yes the achievement that says "complete 10 weekly tasks" is tied to the weekly tasks

[heady flint]

not all of them just 10

[cunning depot]

does anybody wants to play?

[heady flint]

i forget about the weekly tasks cuz i dont gaf

[echo sand]

okay thanks.

[heady flint]

youll get most of them just by playing normally

[forest radish]

I think the Banshee achievement is the one that’s gonna take me the longest

[grave wadi]

i love when a ghost goes straight to your room and kills you, that isn't a Deo....

[forest radish]

Incense exists for this exact reasons

[small ruin]

happened to me something similar, i switched on the light and immediately turnde off, me, going confidently to my van only to find out it was demon 💩

[wooden dragon]

Yo correct me if I’m wrong but a t3 cruci will stop the ghost from spawning if you use summoning circle right? Like it won’t even spawn on the circle

[forest radish]

It will do the event where it appears on the circle, but it won’t hunt

[grave wadi]

doubt i'd escape on gold challenge mode lol, espically when cornered in a room

[forest radish]

That’s fair

[wooden dragon]

Huh, I’ve had it several times where the ghost didn’t even spawn and I thought that’s how it worked

[ripe ferry]

my friend saw blood moon and left immediatly

wussy mf bro 😭

[forest radish]

You had the sanity to light all the candles?

[grave wadi]

does it do anything?

[wooden dragon]

Yeah, and cruci fully broke no ghost spawn

[ripe ferry]

ghost faster more aggresive i think

but it's pretty rare

[wooden dragon]

That and it gives more money

[forest radish]

If it didn’t appear at all, then that sounds like a bug

[wooden dragon]

Like 10% extra.

[grave wadi]

kk cheers, avoid blood moons on golden challenge mode then

[wooden dragon]

dang welp that’s Phasmophobia for you

[stone charm]

does anyone know where i can find the textures for the tier 2 writing book? i wanted to print them out to make my own book

[wooden dragon]

On apoc blood moons won’t rlly change much as the ghost is already faster

It’ll just make it more aggressive and you kinda want it to be

You have no evidence and have to figure it out based off of hunt alone so the more hunts the easier

[heady flint]

ive had this a few times too idk what happened. I know the ghost can try to hunt in the same frame and that can cancel the event, or other such things

[dense hedge]

more eventing is also good for photo

[grave wadi]

really wants me to do a jinn golden challenge mode, no thanks

[wooden dragon]

Idk, it’s happened to me 5 different times so at that rate I thought that’s how it worked

[forest radish]

I got hit by an Onryo earlier, had everything but the ghosts type ;_;

[vestal ferry]

you will have to make them youself as you won't be able to get the textures.

[stone charm]

oh right, are they not stored somewhere in the game files?

[heady flint]

i dont use the summoning circle nearly often enough to stat-it-up but ive had it bug out like that quite a few times

[grave wadi]

ages back i had a match, banshee, just needed photo, it changed room, to spawn

[wooden dragon]

You’d want either a wraith, Deo, Oni, Phantom, obake, or hantu for that

They are the easiest to figure out. and you only need a one star ghost photo

[vestal ferry]

digging through game files goes against the eula.

[stone charm]

ohh right

[stone charm]

i knew it was aginst the eula to mod but not to look at the files

[wooden dragon]

A lot of games do that because you can use the game files to mod

[vestal ferry]

it's trade mark material... dunno what you expectt tbh.

[heady flint]

tbh look on etsy a lot of people are selling handmmade notebooks and things based on the game

i think i saw a rosary once too which ruled tbh

[grave wadi]

wtf is with it always hunting the female wing lol

[stone charm]

i didnt know it was againt TM to look at the files but ok

[keen saddle]

Reverse engineering is also against Steam ToS

[stone charm]

huh

[vestal ferry]

i need this thaye to age faster damn it

[stone charm]

currently waiting for me and my friends sanity to go down for a objective lol

[heady flint]

snack time in the closest time

[bronze pilot]

ok i did the tutorial

[stone charm]

hell yeah

[lucid herald]

is there going to be more prestige levels in the next update?

[bronze pilot]

imma try and do a few rounds rq see if i can figure out some more

[steel wigeon]

R u guaranteed a banshee scream on the paramic when u have a banshee?

[odd vale]

Mimics can do it, too

[mossy mason]

not that we know of

[odd vale]

Don’t believe so. Devs haven’t bit mentions anything about new levels

[heady flint]

it's a 33% chance, I believe

ive tested it on confirmed banshees and never gotten it, and my friends have both gotten it in like 2 seconds flat when we've been doing 2 ev runs, so its not s guarentee but rng

[wise oyster]

sounds like a plan. good luck 🍀

[split ingot]

Hey all, anything new in the game yet? Been months since I played lol

[floral swan]

Wait why haven’t the weekly tasks changed? Swr reset on Mondays

[odd vale]

Yeah. For me it resets Sundays but it did reset.

[abstract warren]

Spirits can’t hunt for 3 mins after a hunt

[main meadow]

If correctly smudged.

[abstract warren]

But I just had a spirit hunt 3 times in 2 mins

[abstract warren]

Oh only if smudged?

[west kindle]

spirit be like: alright, spooked the player, 3 min break for me

[abstract warren]

I was so confused cause I just had one that did 5 hunts total but 3 in 3 mins

[willow umbra]

if not smudged then 25sec

[main meadow]

Without a smudge every ghost can hunt at the minimum of 25 seconds except for Demon which has a minimum of 20 seconds.

Just remember that all the Times are minimums they're not guaranteed to spawn for a hunt just because the time was up

[bronze pilot]

do i have to unlock the picture camera because its on my tasks and this one i have only shows ghost orbs

[wise oyster]

if you got it as a task, you've unlocked it, but you'll have to buy one and bring it to the contract

If 2 dot projectors interlap eachother will it just now show dots if its a possible evidence

[rustic blade]

Which ghost can only see dots on a camera

[strong jay]

Goryo

[rustic blade]

Ty

[prisma tree]

What's the challenge part of the challenge mode, I don't get it. It's super easy.

[main meadow]

They cant always be extremely hard

And some people would say this is hard because it's sunny meadows. meh

[velvet merlin]

We haven't had a spirit yet been playing for about 5 days and we've had pretty much everything else but spirit, is this normal for amateur?

[severe spruce]

It's random

[main meadow]

Every ghost has the same chance it's pure RNG it doesn't get pulled out of the pool for next round If you roll it

There's only one ghost you cannot get if you are prestige zero before level thirty and that is deogen.

[severe spruce]

Deogen is the only one you might not see at lower levels

[prisma tree]

Go to the chapel, use the mirror (if you really need more time you can go out, take a med, and come back to keep looking), and find the room. Then use the voodoo doll if you really need to

Ouija board is for if it's one of the side rooms off of the different wards

Tarot cards are for fun

Like it's so easy

[modern smelt]

I think you misunderstood what @main meadow wrote.

[slim whale]

If 2 dots intersect each other they just work like normal dots with widee range

[prisma tree]

No I got it. It's on Sunny Meadows. But that doesn't matter when you have literally ALL of the cursed obj

[slim whale]

Not every weekly challenge is hard. Some are easier than others

[bronze pilot]

just died to banshee

[slim whale]

The one this week is i would say just playing on sm and - for new players - using cursed objects. Since new players often kill themself with it

[slim whale]

Good job!

[bronze pilot]

i thought i was gonna live till it closed the door and i couldnt get out

[slim whale]

Yeah it happens. Youll get used to it

[modern smelt]

And still, some people isn't confident doing big maps and that's totally okay. We all have to start some where.

[prisma tree]

If you accidentally get yourself killed with the cursed objects on Sunny Meadows, you either got super unlucky or are skilled at being bad lol

[prisma tree]

With all of the cursed objects the map size doesn't matter

[slim whale]

It can happen. Can totally understand new players not knowing what they are doing

[slim whale]

Doesnt matter for you ok. But others may have problems

[amber yoke]

Is it possible to be a Mare if they the lights are still on while they hunt?

[slim whale]

Yes

[main meadow]

yes

[amber yoke]

Thanks ^^

[modern smelt]

Sure it does. New people isn't comfortable with cursed objects and just because you have them, doesn't mean you can't die.

[prisma tree]

For reference I also hate large maps

I think Prison (a medium map) should be deleted 😠

[bronze pilot]

so do u have to buy the equipment everytime or can u put it back in the van?

[prisma tree]

Depends on if it's consumable

[bronze pilot]

i mean like cameras and such

[modern smelt]

I will cause chaos, if they delete Prison. It's my favorite map.

[main meadow]

You only lose your items if you die except for the ones that are consumable when you use them cameras are not consumable

[heady flint]

you only lose equipment if you die, or its a consumable (salt, t1 and 2 candles, smudges). If you have a loadout set up and enabled, itll automatically buy and add anything that's missing.

[main meadow]

Bringing Items back to the van does nothing

However I still say we should get a couple of dollars for those cell phones and laptops that we bring in to the van from the house

[heady flint]

REAL

[main meadow]

[heady flint]

that would be so funny

[main meadow]

We were just saving them from the ghost officer so the screens wouldn't crack if it threw it

[fresh pawn]

in order to mare to hunt at 60% who needs to be in the dark
the ghost or the player

[modern smelt]

Player.

[bronze pilot]

ah ok bc i was wondering where my items when

[wise oyster]

no, the ghost

[fresh pawn]

alr thanks

[wise oyster]

it's the ghost

[main meadow]

the mare will move out of lit rooms to be able to hunt it is the ghosts Position not the player

[shut olive]

my wifi sucks bro

[fresh pawn]

mhmm

[modern mauve]

Got a blessed 0ev run where I ruled out a Mare from the very beginning

[modern smelt]

Wtf. I always thought it was the player. And Mare's like to roam to dark rooms. 😅

[sterile arch]

e

e

[wooden rivet]

I love looping around nothing

[fresh pawn]

I did 2 runs today and idk why I didn't do more
ig I want to play with someone

[wooden rivet]

Just looped a yurei

[sterile arch]

ok

[prisma tree]

This is correct after looking. I always thought it was the favorite room light that mattered

[heady flint]

tbh i knew it was the ghost but i still felt better when i was in the light, too

[odd vale]

Stop slamming e, please.

[main meadow]

Honestly favorite room doesn't mean much

[heady flint]

wrong place bud

[south violet]

Oh sorry

[forest radish]

There should be a 'No ghost' option as well as a 'Friendly ghost' option

[prisma tree]

Why

[main meadow]

A lot of people get hung up on favorite room stuff, ghosts wander favorite rooms mean orbs and where it will go back to after a hunt and eventually after a event not super important Because you can get every other evidence besides orbs if a ghost is out of its room.

[forest radish]

Sometimes I just wanna explore a map

Without any supernatural happenings

[fresh pawn]

so is it possible for mare
for example to move from the nursery in tanglewood to the garage (unlit area) just to hunt? (assume all other rooms are lit)

[wise oyster]

they don't plan that far ahead

[modern mauve]

It can naturally roam there, so they could do it by coincidence

[prisma tree]

Ghosts won't go to another location in order to hunt, but yes if the Mare goes to an unlit room it can hunt at 60%. This includes if it events at your location or if it's roaming.

[wooden rivet]

I played these games before!

[prisma tree]

Huh. I didn't know you could light an incense if it wasn't in your hand

[dusky root]

Chat why did I suddenly get all badges

[fallow marsh]

Does anyone have any tips to completing apocalypse III?

[modern mauve]

It was a Mimic, feel like I don't get these enough

[forest radish]

Damn this is a quiet revenant

[prisma tree]

How long have you played the game

[dusky root]

I am concerned

[modern mauve]

Take it slow, get all of your items into the lobby, Paramic T3 is your best friend for locating the ghosts

[fallow marsh]

Level 95

[modern mauve]

Make sure you know how to ID ghosts at 150% speed

[fallow marsh]

Trying to get a deogen

[modern mauve]

Well, if you're going for a deo, make sure you don't get stuck on furniture

[radiant token]

Patience and good ghost knowledge

[radiant token]

yeahhh.. imagine ever doing that…

[gray bronze]

set up home base in the chapel behind the piano, reset until its room is nearby - the challenge is 90% luck

[fallow marsh]

Yeah, I have all the tier 3 stuff. Would you say getting a deogen is a good method or nah?

[wise oyster]

nah

[gray bronze]

only deo i got killed me in 10sec as was cornered in the entrance

[wise oyster]

b/c it's not really doing the challenge, it's just getting the trophy

[modern mauve]

It's up to you, but if you're going to go in seriously, you need to know your 150% ghosts

[fallow marsh]

Yeah I've watched a few videos, the piano is a good hiding spot, how can I get a photo of the ghost? I tried quick swapping but it delayed slightly

[wise oyster]

smudge first, then switch to camera

[gray bronze]

smudges

[forest radish]

Note to self: Never pull cards IN THE GHOST ROOM

[radiant token]

I originally wanted to roll for a Deo, but the odds of me getting a Deo, with good objectives was pretty low - so I just started to do it normally with other ghosts

[fallow marsh]

Hmm okay

[modern mauve]

I fucked up my Deo runs when I first started

[fallow marsh]

I don't know much about other ghosts that's the problem

[gray bronze]

if it's a good ghost type it's a good ghost type - if not, it's a reset

[fallow marsh]

Some people just see a ghost and go "Yeah it's one of those"

[gray bronze]

ones that have nonstandard movement speed are best

[fallow marsh]

I keep looking for ghost orbs on the monitor but not having any luck there either tbh

[gray bronze]

the guide has a bpm meter you can click to identify ghost type by movement speed

[fallow marsh]

Incase its a mimic

[radiant token]

I definitely think you should learn the ghost traits before attempting

[fallow marsh]

Yeah, Is there any best way to do that or just by playing?

[modern mauve]

A lotta practice

[zinc coyote]

Real

[gray bronze]

yurr i was 250h before i started doing apoc 3 runs

[pliant fern]

8 more weeks until I get all the achievements... wish I started doing the weekly challenges years ago!!

[radiant token]

In #fan-creations , theres a pinned message which has the Unofficial Phasmo Cheat Sheet. It’s pretty helpful, and really in depth

[fallow marsh]

I got 80 hours tbh

[fallow marsh]

Oh yeah I saw that

I just got a deo and messed up lol because I got stuck. Got good objectives too 😦

[radiant token]

I’ve been there. I got stuck on a chair trying to loop a Deo for the photo 😭

[meager lark]

i am playing this game for the first time how long does it take for multiplayer menu to load in

[fallow marsh]

I'm trying to attempt it for the trophies on console, the phasmophobia platinum for playstation for context

[forest radish]

Check out me dying to a Revenant spawning on top of me after I pulled the Death card

[odd vale]

Don’t post song lyrics. It’s spammy and this is Phas chat.

[forest radish]

Over in #videos

[pliant fern]

Chat I love phasmo!!!

[fallow marsh]

I think its just luck to be honest tho, I'll keep trying and hopefully I get it eventually. Gotta practise the ghost types then by the looks of it

[meager lark]

how long does it tkae to load in for multiplayer lobby

[gray bronze]

i want your hunting and i want your evidence, you and me could run a bad investigation

[forest radish]

Sometimes a while

[gray bronze]

not more than 15 sec

[meager lark]

i am waiting 5 minutes from now

[pale kernel]

Not very long, a few seconds for me but I have pretty speedy internet/good connections typically.

[forest radish]

When I first did it it took a good few minutes for some reason, but was faster from then on

[pale kernel]

Double check that you don't have any filters set by clicking on the little funnel in the top left and that you're in your preferred region (also top left).

[zinc coyote]

Your first match might take a little bit but the others should only few seconds

[radiant token]

It is mostly luck, I agree. But obviously there is some skill and strategy to it so be as patient as you can!

[pale kernel]

Also make sure cross play is on 🙂

[prime elk]

nobonobonobo

Can't see lobbies/join private games etc

* Make sure crossplay is turned on in the Game settings
* Make sure you're entering the correct code for the correct region
* Make sure game is updated to the latest version.

[fallow marsh]

Well thanks for the advice, and everyone else who commented 🙂

[gray bronze]

some ghost types are near/fully impossible to determine and are just write offs (jinn, goryo, yurei to name a few) and are straight up resets

[radiant token]

Good luck on your attempts, you got this!

[dusty berry]

can i get the questions for spirit box/oujia/others on pc? my microphone doesnt like to pick up my voice well

[fallow marsh]

I'm just hoping for a deo lol, any other ghost types that are easy to identify? E.g deo is really slow

[gray bronze]

you can change input to text for those things and it opens a clicky menu

[pale kernel]

Yup! Change your voice settings to Text.

[wise oyster]

Yes, change your Voice Recognition to Text

[dusty berry]

aaa tysm guys i can actually get my daily done now

[gray bronze]

revenant, hantu (breath), banshee (scream), moroi (the fastest)

[radiant token]

Thaye, Moroi, Twins, Hantu, Rev are the easiest

[gray bronze]

yokai, especially if the ghost is directly above/below you and doesn't instantly snap to hunt you

[fallow marsh]

Alright, what's a revenant do again

[wise oyster]

-revenant

[prime elk]

<:btRevenant:917888372805107712> Revenant

The Revenant is known to be the scariest, most violent Ghost in the game. Stay out of its sight.

Strengths

Revenants travel at extremely fast speeds when in direct sight or sense (equipment, voice) of its target.

Weaknesses

A Revenant will significantly lower the speed it travels at if it does not know the whereabouts of its prey.

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

[radiant token]

Wraith, Yokai as well, but Wraiths can be a nightmare sometimes if they teleport on top of you lmao

[gray bronze]

50% slower when no LOS, 50% faster with LOS

[fallow marsh]

Been trying for 3 hours, I'm determined tho haha

[gray bronze]

no ramping speed with LOS

[minor raptor]

can jihn turn of the breaker?

[gray bronze]

no

[radiant token]

No

[fallow marsh]

It's not like I have 0 knowledge, I know bits here and there

[gray bronze]

took me about 6 hours, and my winning attempt was a shade

you'll get it eventually

[radiant token]

6 hours?? must be nice

[gray bronze]

poltergeist is another good one as the paramic can pick up its ability from far away

oni and phantom are free, though phantom is very risky because of speed and no visibility

[fallow marsh]

These youtubers make it look easy >_<

[gray bronze]

you only need to win once

[normal girder]

Real like impulse

[gray bronze]

4 hours of it was moving between the van and the hiding spot

[forest radish]

Insym still had some trouble lol

[willow umbra]

not directly but it can indirectly by turning on too many light switches

[fallow marsh]

That's the person I watched

[modern mauve]

It's something that requires practice, it's not easy by any stretch, but it's not the hardest thing in the world either

[radiant token]

It’s the most tedious part of the whole challenge, I hate it lmao

[gray bronze]

gotta remember insym has like 4000 hours and plays for a living - he has insane ghost and map knowledge and game sense

[modern mauve]

It's not a mode that has the same balance as lower difficulties, so things are lopsided to a degree

[forest radish]

And frankly got quite lucky in the video I watched

Four different speed-varying ghosts

Don't think he got a regular speed even once

[gray bronze]

half the ghosts are write offs for the challenge, half the optional objectives are write offs, half the ghost rooms are write offs, etc

[forest radish]

Just get better at RNG

[gray bronze]

the stars have to align even for a promising run

[wise oyster]

I guess some people like his personality, but I've never seen anything impressive from Impulse

[willow umbra]

hi fellow impulse enjoyer

[odd vale]

GIGS

[gray bronze]

yeah man i'm going to a few

[slim whale]

[modern mauve]

Insym doesn't play 15x a lot, so he's not going to be as good as many others who do - I say this with no disrespect on Insym, I'm sure he could do it more consistently if he played it more

[wise oyster]

he also only plays Phas once a week

[gray bronze]

what's the weekly challenge rn?

[wise oyster]

in pins

[modern mauve]

I hear Nukadave is good with 15x, so if there is someone to watch, probably would be him

[gray bronze]

easy challenge

[forest radish]

My issue with x15 is that if it's a ghost you have to test, you run the risk of instant death

[wise oyster]

Yeah I was gonna say NukaDave, Leona, Justly are ones doing really hard challenges I know of. Idk if Madixx is playing much these days.

[gray bronze]

wait no it's sunny meadows

does maggstor still upload

[zinc coyote]

The challenge is pretty easy tbh

[forest radish]

I started playing a little over 3 weeks ago and it's the easiest one I've faced yet

[wise oyster]

it's still pretty easy, 30% pills and all objects, just plays like a normal game

[forest radish]

By a significant margin

Isn't it 50% pills?

[zinc coyote]

yea the only downside is its a massive map

[gray bronze]

the only difficulty is finding the ghost room

[wise oyster]

Ouija or Mirror

[forest radish]

Ask the ghost where it is on the board, lose 50% sanity, take pills to go back up to 100%, and start carting all your gear to the room

[gray bronze]

mirror one of the 50 identical rooms

but yeah board good

[radiant token]

Ouija board, just don’t pull a me and accidentally break it

[zinc coyote]

mirror and lugi board is all you need

[forest radish]

Even if it's not that room exactly, you'll be much closer than you were

[wise oyster]

yeah 50% mistype

[zinc coyote]

cards and voodoo for fun

[forest radish]

And then you can just sit around in the room collecting evidence until it gives you all three

[radiant token]

until the ghost is in the kitchen and refuses to do anything

[forest radish]

Doll time

[gray bronze]

i'll just get deo thrice in a row

gotta boost i think

[visual lodge]

Awh what the meow

[rigid birch]

Guys, is it 100% that Onryo will hunt after 3 candles blown out?

[forest radish]

100%

[rigid birch]

Oki, thanks!

[visual lodge]

Unless a glitch or smth happens

[heady flint]

goryo will have forced dots

so it'll be dots and then one of its 2 other evidences

every time

on one evidence it would be DOTS every time

[zinc coyote]

On no evidence, just give up

[clever schooner]

On no evidence is it still forced to give dots

[radiant token]

no.

[clever schooner]

so its just a standard ghost

[gray bronze]

only evidence in zero evidence is mimic orbs

[zinc coyote]

^

[wise oyster]

it will attempt to, but remember it also uses flames as crucis

[heady flint]

on no ev just commit sudoko

[zinc coyote]

same with jinns, if you play with no breaker at least

[forest radish]

When your sanity's high but your cruci's all die, thatsa Demoooon

[gray bronze]

thaye

[forest radish]

81%

[gray bronze]

you're off the hook for now then

[mossy mason]

quick
make a rhyme for goryo

[forest radish]

Uh

[wise oyster]

travesty to not use that line for Moroi 😭

[forest radish]

Uuuuuuh

[forest radish]

It was a Demon alright!

[wise oyster]

I'm sure it was, but Amore/a Moroi is too perfect

[forest radish]

Plus I stole the idea from someone who did rhyme it with Moroi

[wise oyster]

Demoooon! Demoooon! All the crucis have been eaten!

[forest radish]

New horrible idea: A ghost that's only visible through video/photo cameras during a hunt

No blinking or distortion on the cameras tho

[zinc coyote]

didnt outlast have something like that?

[wise oyster]

This is gold, btw

[autumn crag]

Pop quiz! Whats hantus special ability

[forest radish]

uh uh uh uh breaker

no wait cold breath

[wise oyster]

Getting looped like a chump

[steep pelican]

Cold breath when the breaker is off and fast speeds in cold temps

[forest radish]

Dunk on them Hantus

Bullying Hantus:

[forest radish]

I found a Deo with my brother once who wasn't high enough level to have met one on his own yet. We played Tarot Card Roulette and I pulled Death. I then explained exactly how a Deo worked for the duration of the hunt in which we simply walked around the kitchen island in Tanglewood.

So that was funny

[visual lodge]

I'm on no evidence what's the clues for a twin?

Except the 10% slow or faster thing

[zinc coyote]

easiest way to identify a twin is hunt speed imo

[forest radish]

They can also do two interactions at the same time

[visual lodge]

[forest radish]

So if you see a door get touched at the same time as a book gets thrown in a different location, its possibly twins

[visual lodge]

Like flinging stuff? Whole hunting

[cobalt panther]

Two interactions at the same time

But listening for the speed is so much more useful

[pliant fern]

My friend once heard 2 phones ring at the same time and it was a myling

[cobalt panther]

Use the "this is the rhythm of the night" to determine speed

[pliant fern]

But hes also as good at the game as a deo is catching up to you so idk

[visual lodge]

Ty ty

[cobalt panther]

Sing "this is the rhythm of the night" if the ghost steps on every beat, it's normal speed

[zinc coyote]

the twin interaction isnt 100% certain for twins. better to stick with a hunt speed test

[cobalt panther]

I agree with this, I also hate shades

[zinc coyote]

🤝

[visual lodge]

It was an onryo

come croak with me in tanglewood in the closet

[modern mauve]

We got a little while yet

[zinc coyote]

[violet ether]

I have to stop using music box

[cobalt panther]

HUNT OVERHAUL?

[cyan osprey]

🐸 👍

[violet ether]

I always get surprised by how close the ghost is, accidentally throw it, then die to cursed hunt

[modern mauve]

Part of the "horror 2.0" / full release yup

Gonna be a long while for that

[forest radish]

Why would you ever throw the music box

[wise oyster]

you want a hunt

[cobalt panther]

I dont get what an overhaul is, like a complete rework?

[cobalt panther]

Pretty sure the ghost would go to it, and sing along, easy ghost picture

[modern mauve]

Rework of the horror elements of the game, death animations, events, hunts, hallucinations etc

New ghost models as well

[cobalt panther]

Yeah, and quality visuals for console?

All they have is balance/performance

Can't remove text options either

[wise oyster]

that's b/c there's no voice rec (yet)

[south violet]

yay im excited for console voice recognition yayayayay

[modern mauve]

Voice req on console is currently in Internal testing

[south violet]

thats so many console games

[modern mauve]

-trello

[prime elk]

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.

[south violet]

almost every single console game only has balance or performance

[modern mauve]

Dunno about better graphic settings on console though

[south violet]

im excited about the outfits

[modern mauve]

In the near(ish) future, we'll have Bleasdale rework, Performance update. A little later on Photo system rework, Grafton rework, sound recorder etc

No timeframe, but I wouldn't expect it until late this year / next year tbh

[cobalt panther]

Sure, when would that be made?

[modern mauve]

Soon™️

[wise oyster]

as Bourbon noted, it's in Internal Testing right now, no ETA on delivery

[south violet]

i dont think thats goign to be a for a while, at first its lke just models being updated i believe

then there will be customization later on

[cobalt panther]

Thats good 👍

[south violet]

honestly these updates all sound exciting

[modern mauve]

New player models is in concept phase, so the ball is at least rolling: "New player characters for players to choose from, customisation will come in a later update"

[pallid pebble]

can someone explain why i just lost 10 levels for no reason?

[modern mauve]

So, it looks like character models and then customisation

[ashen halo]

DM @violet nova

[heady flint]

goryo more like i want some froyo

[heady flint]

wait for real

[radiant token]

mmmm froyo

[rigid birch]

What is the rule to that? On the internet it says that it blows out candles instead aswell? Like... when does it blow out the candle and when does it hunt instead? 😮

(sorry for pinging, forgot to unping you)

[wise oyster]

it will always prioritize blowing out candles over crucis

[forest radish]

If the Onryo would start hunting while a candle is in range, it will blow out the candle instead

[south violet]

i want to become the best phas player to ever live

[zinc coyote]

Sry thats me (its not me)

[rigid birch]

Ah oki! And what is it about that 50/50 chance that the internet talks about? 😮

So every candle after the third blown-out candle has a 50% chance to initiate a hunt or what? 😮

[cobalt panther]

Yeah lol

[forest radish]

No idea where that information came from

Oh yeah you cant post links here

[rigid birch]

from fandom website

the German one*

[pallid pebble]

its not letting me for some reason

[forest radish]

"Onryos have a hunt sanity threshold of 60%, compared to the standard 50% baseline."

[wise oyster]

that's bunk

[forest radish]

Is this what you read, but in German?

[wise oyster]

It's a continuous cycle of 3 blowouts per hunt attempt. Hunt attempt is cancelled if ghost is on smudge timer/hunt cooldown

[modern mauve]

See #faq

You need to change DM settings

[rigid birch]

Yes, but that 's only the threshold for hutning in general, not specific for candles 😄

[wise oyster]

Onryo ability has no sanity threshold

[forest radish]

I don't see anything on the English wiki for Onryo about this

Maybe it's misinformation on the German site

[heady flint]

IS THAT WHY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT "this is the rhythm of the ghost"?!?!?! I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST BEING FUNNY

[pliant fern]

Chat I am still thinking about that myling that hunted after 3 minutes twice. Why did it shame me like that

[rigid birch]

Yes, me neither, that's why I was so confused lul

[cobalt panther]

I've never heard of that, but most likely lol

[wise oyster]

tbh it sounds like the German site is not being updated

[cobalt matrix]

have u never heard the tip tip TAP TAP tip tip tip tap tap tap

[heady flint]

i have but i never thought to compare it to a song

like youre doing cpr

[rigid birch]

but what excactly is the rule then? Because I just tried to do the Candle trick multiple times to get it to hunt, but it sometimes blew out the candle and sometimes hunted, so I am very confused now 😅

[wise oyster]

However the German version of the cheat sheet pinned in #fan-creations is up to date

[heady flint]

rhythm of the ghost = normal speed huh.....

[forest radish]

The rule is on every third firelight blown out, it will attempt to start a hunt. This also includes the lighter in your hand which it can blow out too.

[pliant fern]

I wouldnt use that song trick. No matter the speed of the ghost I'll manage to fit those lyrics in time.

[heady flint]

simplified:
to an onryo, a candle = a crucifix. 3 blown out candles = it has a high chance to start a hunt. If theres a candle in range it'll "use" that as a crucifix.

[rigid birch]

Oki! Thanksies! 🙂

Do you maybe have the source code or something for that aswell? 😄

[heady flint]

well itll probably be better than "is that twin slow or normal speed?"

[rigid birch]

OHHHHH now I get it! Oki! Thanks! 🙂

[abstract lotus]

High chance? Isn't it guaranteed

[wise oyster]

100% chance (except when it can't hunt at all)

[heady flint]

i think its supposed to but other things can cancel it out

[pliant fern]

Not for me!

[forest radish]

All we know about ghosts is what the community has figured out or what the devs have told us. You can look at the Phasmophobia Cheat Sheet in #1254568921110024254 to learn about all the ghosts

[heady flint]

or it can get a lil fucky. ive seen people talking about that a few days ago i think.

[forest radish]

Wait that's not where the cheat sheet link is

Guys where's the cheat sheet link at

[wise oyster]

cheat sheet pinned in #fan-creations is up to date in English and German

[forest radish]

Thank you Vandelay

[final sandal]

apoc3 achievement on steam counted, but nothing in game, tried reseting game, going in tanglewood & guessing spirit, still nothing. any other trick to try or just modmail?

[dense ocean]

every third candle the onryo is guaranteed to attempt to hunt, and every third candle resets the counter back to 0

crucifixes or another candle can block this hunt

[hardy vale]

hey sorry, but I was wondering how does a banshee affect sanity? I've seen insym rule out banshee based on sanity, and have also played with someone who did something similar, is there something other than the singing ghost event and how it hunts off the targets sanity, is there something I'm missing that lowers your sanity faster?

[dense ocean]

their manifestation events drain 15% instead of 10 iirc

or it might just be their singing events

[wise oyster]

yeah singing events aimed at the target

[hardy vale]

okay cool, thank you!!

[wise oyster]

imo given the fluctuation of the sanity monitor that's a pretty iffy way to ID/rule out Banshee, but it is a thing

[heady flint]

let me sing you the song of my people. HHHEEEEEHHHOOOUUUGGGGHHHHHHH - the banshee

[hardy vale]

oh dear

how lovely ❤️

[sand marten]

Mares can’t turn on lamps, can they? Same as room lights?

[wise oyster]

correct

[rigid birch]

Oki! Collisto and me just figured out that the German Fandom website only spreads fakenews lol sooo... thanks for y'alls help! 🙂

[sour jolt]

Can someone please help? I did everything for apocalypse challenge but didn´t receive the trophy. I have it on video

[sharp sparrow]

Did you get the ghost photo, do all of the objectives, survive, and complete it on the full Sunny Meadows map?

[sour jolt]

Yes

[abstract warren]

I just got my first perfect hunt I’m so happy

[sharp sparrow]

And you got the ghost right?

[sour jolt]

yes

[sharp sparrow]

That's odd... are you sure you were on the large sunny meadows map and not the restricted?

[sour jolt]

yes i am

[sharp sparrow]

I'm not sure then

[abstract warren]

Don’t you have to do that like 50 times

[sharp sparrow]

No, you are thinking of something different Giggsy

Did you have a custom game setup to Apocolypse 3 settings @sour jolt ?

[forest radish]

Very nice, and plenty more where that came from

[sour jolt]

Apocalypse 1 the 6x

[wise oyster]

I'd DM @violet nova and see what they say. Maybe exit and load into a new singleplayer lobby and run a game (of anything) and see if that refreshes it.

[forest radish]

That's for a badge, they're doing an Apocalypse challenge

[sharp sparrow]

Oh, sorry, I assumed it was 3 because if you do 3 you automatically get all three trophies

[sour jolt]

already done that

[abstract warren]

Once I get incense I’m gonna try intermediate

[wise oyster]

you messaged modmail?

I think that's your only option at this point

[forest radish]

To tell the truth, what makes you vulnerable in Phasmophobia is your sanity. As long as you're sitting in a room with the lights on, you'll be fine.

[sour jolt]

no didn´t know i could do that

i´ll try thx

[wise oyster]

yeah they handle account issues

[abstract warren]

I usually get 2 evidence and then determine the ghost by behaviour and hunting so I can learn the ghosts

[forest radish]

Oh damn fair enough

[drowsy frigate]

What makes me vulnerable is having no smudge sticks and having to loop a rev

[forest radish]

That's tense

[pulsar rose]

So uhh.. what’s the next update gonna be?

[sour jolt]

ok done

[forest radish]

The counter didn't even reach one day man..

[abstract warren]

Is smudge sticks igniters or incense? I can’t find them anywhere

[forest radish]

Incense

[abstract warren]

Ty

[forest radish]

Used to be named smudge sticks but they renamed them, some point recently I believe

I started after that change

[abstract warren]

I like incense more tbh

[drowsy frigate]

I hate banshees btw, I was sitting out the ghost room with a T3 Paramic tryna get a banshee scream for 20 mins just to not get one

[forest radish]

RNG be RNG

What is it, 30%? 33%?

[drowsy frigate]

My RNG is awful

Bcs I didn’t even get it right

[prisma laurel]

33%?

[cobalt matrix]

My rng be like: here's the same four ghosts

[prisma laurel]

Jinn, Mare, Onryo, Shade

Always my pick

[drowsy frigate]

I had that with deos before 4 deos in a row

[forest radish]

The only time I managed to get a picture of the ghost and not die during my attempts at Apoc 3, it was a Onryo

[cobalt matrix]

Bloody Jinn

It's always Jinns mate

😭

[drowsy frigate]

I got super lucky to beat that

[forest radish]

That's like 50% of what that challenge is

Getting lucky

Getting doable objectives, getting a ghost that's not impossible to tell on 0 evidence no breaker, getting a good ghost room

[hardy vale]

I always get mares

[forest radish]

Hoping the ghost doesn't randomly wander into the room you had to hide in after you smudged and took the photos

[hardy vale]

true

[prisma laurel]

No breaker. hatred

[forest radish]

it ends up being more frustrating

[prisma laurel]

I don't want a Jinn

[whole kite]

Guys help please

[forest radish]

I think discord just had a blackout

Also just had an Oni give ghost orbs, so that was weird

[whole kite]

Is there ANY video about a deogen chasing someone

While you are slow and them 150 speed

[forest radish]

With those modifiers you are only very slightly faster than the Deo

[whole kite]

Did the oni hunt the discord XD

[pliant fern]

I managed to outrun it on apoc3 in the lobby

[glacial yarrow]

^^ outran it just walking through the chapel / lobby

[whole kite]

So I CAN outrun it?

[forest radish]

Yes

[whole kite]

MY GOD I FOUND A FAST GHOST

[forest radish]

But your cornering needs to be good

[whole kite]

Jesus

[whole kite]

K I'm asking bc I'm trying to get gold apocalypse

[violet ether]

How do I make ghost enter a dots state?

[glacial yarrow]

rng

[violet ether]

Nvm it's revenant

[forest radish]

Moroi, Hantu, Thaye time

[forest radish]

You don’t. It just decides to do it

[violet ether]

I had it to yurei or revenant and I couldn't make it write or dots

[forest radish]

You can increase activity in the room by turning the lights out

[violet ether]

I only managed to figure it out because it fucking flew at me when I didn't open the closet fully

[pliant fern]

If it's down to yurei or rev, just hide in a closet and listen for speed. Rev will be mega slow

[whole kite]

I heard it could also be the twins

[forest radish]

Twins are only slightly faster than regular ghosts, and can be slightly slower too

If it's MEGA fast, it's not twins

[quartz shard]

You know how you can never take a picture of the phantom what if you take it in a dots photo? Will it still not show up ?

[whole kite]

I need to check

[forest radish]

it will still not show up

[quartz shard]

Okay thanks

[whole kite]

God I hope it's the twins bc moroi hantu or raiju I can't 😭 😭

[prisma laurel]

But I still that ghost photo still from the phantom hehe

[forest radish]

The picture you take will still be classed as a Ghost Photo, even if the Phantom disappears in the photo

[whole kite]

Or thaye

[forest radish]

Raiju wouldn't be that fast from far away no?

[whole kite]

OMG IF IS A MIMIC I QUIT

[forest radish]

Mimic mimicking a fast ghost

[ionic belfry]

Yeah otherwise it would make the ghost photo challenge impossible

[quartz shard]

Yea. I see in the photos. But the ghost just touched a door twice so I got a yurei fosho

[whole kite]

I would quit QUIT

[violet ether]

I was sat in tanglewood foyer (baby room was ghost room) with all the doors open and dots on waiting for yurei because I thought it was one, just couldn't eliminate writing

[forest radish]

That's why you usually listen for a few hunts

[violet ether]

I'm still too scared to do more than one hunt tops

[forest radish]

Then a mimic will always get you

Are you running on 3 evidence or no?

[sleek sinew]

Hello

[ionic belfry]

Definitely have rage quit cuz of mimic before. Me and my buddy had a really terrible run on high school. Couldn't find the ghost room for like 10 minutes. Then when we found it, we waited another 10 minutes for it to do something. Can't remember what ghost we thought it was, but it ended up being mimic. Slowest 20 minutes for nothing 😭

[violet ether]

Intermediate usually

but right now i'm on amateur because I reset my progression

[forest radish]

In that case, if you're getting Orbs, remember to check for all three of Mimics evidences

[sleek sinew]

Was it the challenge?

Hide and seek seeker?

[ionic belfry]

Nah, we were going through every map

[timid zinc]

i saw someone cheating

[prime elk]

If you are experiencing issues with a player ingame, please use the ingame reporting system for that through the Journal. To submit additional evidence alongside your ingame report, contact the @violet nova bot alike.

[violet ether]

I only consider it if I have two mimic evidences and gorbs

[sleek sinew]

Ah well i just did prison in 9 minutes

[warm spade]

that was fast

[violet ether]

I just leave gorbs empty and manually cross out anything that would be eliminated then test for the last mimic evidence

[forest radish]

Just remember to keep it in the back of your head

[ionic belfry]

I wish. I struggle with larger maps

[violet ether]

Most games I suspect a mimic are obake because I leave temp to last and UV and orbs are the ones I check first

[sleek sinew]

Do you have paramic?

High school is easy with 2 things

Actually 3

[ionic belfry]

honestly idk if i have paramic unlocked rn. just hit prestige 2

[timid zinc]

no but i saw someone cheating

[forest radish]

Paramic is practically required for large maps

[ionic belfry]

Hadn't even thought of it being used like that

[warm spade]

why was that your name, hypocrite moment

[sleek sinew]

1 paramic - can find the room
2. Good headphones to hear
3. Turn the breaker on head to the truck and afk for 2 minutes

[timid zinc]

nah my brother used my acount he does that stuff

[warm spade]

sure sure

[timid zinc]

cfhanging my name and shi

[violet ether]

I only use paramic to test banshee/myling/moroi because I usually play tanglewood or farmhouse

[ionic belfry]

Then again, I like smaller maps. My buddy used to get confused on why I played so much Woodwind

[sleek sinew]

Well im just grinding for custom im atlevel 24

[whole kite]

I mean you know why I thought it was twins bc I have a objective about the microphone and at first when i heard it in the mic it didn't count

[forest radish]

Did you hear a ghost sound, or just it walking?

[whole kite]

But when I listen to it again it was still fast and i got the objective

[whole kite]

Both they were walking and laughing

Should I try for a raiju test?

[forest radish]

Sure?

[lucid herald]

it would be nice, im just really bored now because ive done everything

[pulsar rose]

man I love phas but it’s not as scary as the first time you play. We need more horror elements! Like maybe ghost visions (like blood leaking from walls before the screen flashes back to normal)

[odd vale]

Lots of other good stuff coming

[pliant fern]

I pray when the media tab comes out for the journal, no more 1 star interaction photos when I try for the ghost

it is

I want to ask the ghost how many pickles can it fit in its aaa

Do I need sanity to ask the board questions?

[pliant fern]

What's that

[fluid solar]

hello!

[forest radish]

The Ouija Board

[stoic anvil]

It slammed a door on me, easy right? it was an onryo.

[forest radish]

One of the seven cursed possessions

[fluid solar]

no but it will hunt after 5-7 questions

im doing the sunny meadows thing and i just guessed spirit and i got it right

[forest radish]

Gonna ask its age as many times as I can on the weekly challenge to grind out that weekly objective

[fluid solar]

not a very big brain idea

[upbeat oak]

anyone here who knows how to work steam depot it keeps telling me it cant load il2cpp

[fluid solar]

you'll get killed from it

[heady flint]

You do iirc. No sanity and the board breaks I think?

Every question has a different sanity drain

[pliant fern]

I used summoning circle to check for wraith, speed, and visibility. If I couldnt tell then I'd just use ouija board to find the room and wait for evidence.

[glacial yarrow]

Just heard Childs laughter through the paramic for the first time ever, like 500h played too. Creepy af

[fluid solar]

childs laughter are always scary, especially for your first time

[upbeat oak]

nobody knows? 😢

[fluid solar]

i first heard the banshee scream and scared me

who pinged me

i just got a ghost ping ?????

[pliant fern]

What's your emf at

[forest radish]

Probably the same person that got the bot to post that

[whole kite]

@forest radish I think it might be a thaye

[upbeat oak]

Why did someone make the bot post this

[forest radish]

No clue

[serene badge]

Do you loose more sanity if sitting in the dark in the ghost room than any other room?

[main meadow]

Not exactly

[lethal jolt]

Maybe they wanted to check if it was on sale and were too lazy to check steam itself

[main meadow]

If the ghost does stuff sure, but dark rooms are just dark rooms.

[dusky temple]

you lose sanity faster in the dark period

if you light a candle near you youre fine tho

[forest radish]

Well, not fine per se

Just a slower erosion of your sanity

[dusky temple]

yeah but at least not 200% like in nm

[upbeat oak]

oh hey i got steam depot to work!!!

[forest radish]

Nicely done

[verbal crown]

what sanity can ghost start hunting??

[upbeat oak]

i noticed that the game stores its save files somewhere outside the steam directory though. i might not play the old version, im worried that it would overwrite the main game's save files. maybe i can hack something together with symlinks but, kinda scares me.

[pliant fern]

Depends on the ghost

[ocean tree]

hey chat 👋

[upbeat oak]

i just got to prestige 3, i cant risk it for a chance to explore old asylum :L

that is against the eula?

it's a steam feature and it isnt a mod tho where does the eula say you cant use the steam depot?

it isnt modifying the game i downloaded an entirely separate old version 🙏

i actually do wonder if i could back up the save data, i cant modify any of it but i wonder if the save data is checked on an external server or if i can just copy my entire kinetic games folder in appdata/locallow as a backup.. scary scary

i just want to explore asylum like insym did 😔

they should add a legacy maps board!!!!

[odd vale]

If it it gets messed up I believe support won’t be able to help you

[upbeat oak]

yeah that's fair

"you fucked around and found out" and all

[upbeat oak]

crazy

why would they ban playing old versions bruh

that's so cringe like let me play how i want im not hurting anyone!!!!

[odd vale]

If everyone had access to it and messed their saves imagine how many people would try to get support. It’s just not a wise idea.

[forest radish]

That's a discussion you'd have to have with the creators

[upbeat oak]

simple fix
provide old versions officially
have the game create a new directory for legacy saves

[main meadow]

Playing earlier versions is not allowed unless the devs want/let you or they would have the versions in regular steam when you use the drop down menu in the steams game settings

[upbeat oak]

no overwriting the main saves therefore no risk

[upbeat oak]

is there a way to email the devs or something bc this would be a good idea

[main meadow]

that rule says no discussion so we have to follow the devs wishes and the discords rules.

[odd vale]

It’s best to not do it or discuss it really

[upbeat oak]

i am no longer discussing playing the old version i am now discussing getting in touch with devs because it would be like three lines of code max to just change the directory the game reads saves from 🙏

[prime elk]

Feedback channels for both major and minor updates will be released occasionally, most often a couple weeks after its release. Please refrain from using other channels as an area to request or submit game ideas until then!

[upbeat oak]

this is a goated idea and i will sign a contract saying you dont have to pay me or whatever for full legal coverage!!!

[forest radish]

Not to be rude but it is not that easy

[upbeat oak]

wow instant loss of respect for devs 🙏

"you must enjoy the game in only the way we want you too grrrr 😠"

[main meadow]

That's what you agree to with eulas

[dense ocean]

[main meadow]

A game company can ban or remove access it's how it is with a lot of games.

[dense ocean]

I was actually gonna ask if its possible to backup the save files in case some freak accident happens to me but now doesn't look like a good time

[upbeat oak]

we need a revolution in the industry!!!!

[main meadow]

Yee save is coded for yer PC and account it's fine to copy not distribute

[upbeat oak]

i could keep going but now that the mod has been listening i fear an imminent ban or severe punishment enacted if i do

[forest radish]

It’s not advised

[odd vale]

It’s best again, to not discuss and move on yeah. 👍

[dense ocean]

Ah and it would actually restore my progress if something happens? That's nice to know

This would be a benefit of having some sort of external data servers but that's a lot of money spent and infrastructure they'd have to build

[main meadow]

We recommend and teach people how in tech support esp if there save corrupts a lot

[pliant fern]

You ever join a lobby and you're like almost positive one guy is gonna secretly use the cursed object just by the way they sound

[dense ocean]

Just copy the kineticgames folder in app data right?

[upbeat oak]

me, it's me

im the guy who does that

[pliant fern]

[upbeat oak]

i love voodoo doll because there's zero indication im about to troll with it

i also switch to text menu for the ouija board so i can use that without being heard

[main meadow]

I don't have the direct file name and link on mobile it's somewhere in tech support readmes or one of the many forums

[dense ocean]

ok yeah the tech support for save file fixes points you to the folder in appdata (C:/Users/username/appdata/locallow/Kinetic Games/Phasmophobia to be specific)

yay now i have save file insurance

[forest radish]

And you just

Do this in random games?

[dense ocean]

Ok but bigshot does have a point about legacy maps like they should actually do that

[last drift]

just use windows mode.

speak the questions THEN hold push to talk.

still registers HIDE AND SEEK

no one knows the wiser

[dense ocean]

Especially with the grafton and bleasdale reworks coming up

[forest radish]

Wait what

[dense ocean]

We should get a separate board for legacy maps!!!!

[last drift]

you heard me correctly

[modern mauve]

Whilst I'd like to see old Maple and old Asylum, the devs aren't obliged to release them

[dense ocean]

Put asylum and old bleasdale/grafton on there!!

[last drift]

try it

[dense ocean]

They totally should though

There's literally zero cost to add them back in and it would make many players happy

[modern mauve]

Costs development time and potential file corruptions that would also take time

[forest radish]

You're forgetting the time cost

[modern mauve]

Better to wait until they have the full game if they're going to do that

[violet ether]

Does hantu breath only occur in hunts or is it also in events?

[forest radish]

You think they can just flip a switch to have all the old maps back?

[dense ocean]

to throw together a board on the side where you can play on the old maps that they already have the files for? :p

[forest radish]

Only in Hunts to my knowledge, and ofc only if the breaker is off

[violet ether]

I'm between mimic and hantu, spirit box is flashing red but I'm not getting a single answer

[zenith moss]

Finally done Apoc Gold. It's finally over.

[dense ocean]

it's not like they have to make new maps they just have to put a button in the game to be able to load them

[forest radish]

It's not that simple

[modern mauve]

Extra development time to fix bugs on them, things break even on the current maps, it'd honestly be a waste of time at this point in time

[ruby idol]

I feel like theres a chance that they have been deleted and as such would need to be ported over from old versions which can cause issues.

[dense ocean]

eh they could just say "these are our old maps we dont wanna mess with them so we wont fix any bugs but feel free to explore" though

[modern mauve]

I'd be down for it after 1.0 releases, because there's not any rush

[dense ocean]

i dont think anything that would make more than 0 players happy and only 0 players sad is a waste of time :3

[slender sandal]

how long it take you?

[ruby idol]

Honestly, I would like to see modding support after 1.0 releases imagine custom maps.

[violet ether]

If I use voodoo doll in a locker to trigger a hunt, will the ghost know where I am?

[last drift]

modding support isn't in the vision the devs have for the game and theyve said that wont happen

[mossy mason]

nope

[modern mauve]

Anything that takes time away from current and future development WOULD upset people, and yes, that would be a waste of time. I understand the sentiment, but you're not looking at the whole picture

[zenith moss]

Tbh I only picked up the game again in October when friends started playing on consoles, been attempting Apoc on/off since Christmas. But it felt impossible two weeks ago.

[modern mauve]

They've already spent time getting console out after two delays, it's time to move forward

[slender sandal]

gotcha congrats

[forest radish]

Whats the ghost that cant turn lights off again?

I know mares cant turn them on

[zenith moss]

Thanks

[dense ocean]

yeah i think what they should do with mods is wait for full release, then hand the community the dev tools they use for the game and an OFFICIAL modding integration. whenever mods are loaded officially the game disables official multiplayer and you can only locally host like peer2peer or whatever. it would mean no server instability or cheating when mods are done officially and people who wanna cheat are already bypassing stuff so they'd just bypass the official implementation anyways

[mossy mason]

all ghosts can turn lights off

[forest radish]

Oh

Coulda sworn there was one that couldnt turn them off

[violet ether]

Ok that thing was zooming

[dense ocean]

ok it would be like a single day though it can not be THAT hard to just allow players to load the old maps, no time spent bug fixing or polishing or anything just "here you go, have fun"

[zenith moss]

Jinn can't turn off the breaker, iirc?

[violet ether]

It's either a hantu or a mimic pretending to be hantu

[lapis charm]

What if Goku was in phas

[forest radish]

And Hantus cant turn it on

Mares cant turn on lights, but I didn't know there wasnt a ghost that couldnt turn them off

[ruby idol]

I imagine he would be raiju

[zenith moss]

Hmm

[dense ocean]

i mean im just saying if you wanna talk more work, they literally took the time to delete the legacy maps when their successors came out, it would technically be less work to leave the legacy maps in the game

[forest radish]

taking up space

[modern mauve]

It's not a case of how hard it is, it'd definitely be more than one day. Given that extra work has to be done for consoles to make sure it's playable - Sony and MS are strict with FPS and performance requirements. You're underestimating things a lot

[cobalt panther]

If a ghost closes the ghost book, can I eliminate ghost writing?

[proper gate]

Am i just having some weird confirmation bias, or are there very few rooms per map that can be ghost rooms? Feels like there used to be loads more

[forest radish]

If you're playing a difficulty with 3 evidence, yes

[ruby idol]

only if it has 3 evidence

[dense ocean]

oh please nobody cares about the tiny bit of extra disk space that the legacy maps staying in would take up

[modern mauve]

Both console AND PC need to be on the same version as well because of how they interact with eachother

[zenith moss]

More maps to debug if they change a ghost or equipment behavior

[forest radish]

???

[dense ocean]

common console requirements ruining all the fun

[cobalt panther]

Thank you

[zenith moss]

Dilutes the quality of the maps they offer

[mossy mason]

• Revamping ghost AI to work with old maps again
• Rebaking the lighting to match the current maps
• Adding the full truck and posing all items
• Fixing any critical issues coming from slapping an old map back into the game
• The UI required for the legacy board
• Sony and Microsoft
• Optimization

[cobalt panther]

Thank you too I wasn't really sure until now

[forest radish]

You can just say you're annoyed that you can't play the old maps @dense ocean

[dense ocean]

oh i mean i can if i have the balls to risk my save file tbf

[forest radish]

Rather than dismissing every reason why it wouldn't be worth it

[ruby idol]

But fr tho, the #1 thing a company can do after they finish a game and stop updating it is release it to the modders, can expand the life time by years

[dense ocean]

bigshot guy figured out how to do it too lol he just backed off for the same reason i realized it isnt worth it like two months ago

[dense ocean]

ghost ai is fair it didnt cross my mind that the changes to the ai might not work well on old maps

[modern mauve]

If they open up old branches, then they open themselves up for constant ModMail DMs, tech tickets and bug reports. Many folks do not know how to prevent their own save file issues and many others wouldn't even read instructions. It just opens up cans of worms that aren't worth opening rn

Look, I get the want, I want it too

I fucking loved old Maple and old Asylum

[forest radish]

The lack of caring about optimisation is what leads to some devs launching 200GB games

[ruby idol]

Tbf, its your fault if you screw up your save file, they should just say oh well too sad

[mossy mason]

They do, BTW

[pliant fern]

Remember the whiteboard and the super neat handwriting on it. So unrealistic literally unplayable

[forest radish]

I just got $150 for correctly identifying the ghost instead of the usual $100, what's that about

[pliant fern]

Bigger map

[dense ocean]

there wouldnt be any need to redo the lighting though unless the whole lighting engine itself is causing issues on the maps
full truck i guess, i feel like that should just be a ctrl c ctrl v for the most part but i dont know how they actually do it
critical issues seems unlikely like would those same issues have cropped up if they did everything the same except without the "delete asylum" step
i doubt ui is a big deal

sony and microsoft is fair. fuck sony and microsoft 😠

[forest radish]

As someone who only plays small maps, I entirely forgot about that

[modern mauve]

It's a lot of little things that add up to big things

[dense ocean]

optimization can be fixed with just "yo guys these are old and we dont maintain them anymore so dont complain to us about the issues you find"

that could be an ingame warning

[pliant fern]

I play whatever the host decides to play. And it's always tanglewood/willow

[dense ocean]

click the legacy board/button and a warning comes up "jsyk we're not gonna mess w/ fixing thesse maps if you find a bug or whatever"

[ruby idol]

Because they are the best maps

[dense ocean]

a little 😢 that isnt such a bad thing though!!

[pliant fern]

I like ridgewood. Am I alone

[ruby idol]

Nah edgeview and ridgewood needs more love from public levels

[forest radish]

I also don't know what you're trying to do now

[mossy mason]

It also comes down to a quality standard - they want all playable maps in the game to be of a certain quality
Dismissing that for some legacy maps wouldn't make sense

[wide rock]

whoever likes prison is a psychopath and should be put in a psych ward

[forest radish]

We've told you it's probably never happening yet you persist

[ruby idol]

Throw them in sunny meadows!!

[sly forge]

locked away in the prison they love

[dense ocean]

im not breaking any rules by stating my case

[south violet]

Big maps are fun maps.

[dense ocean]

and im not "dismissing" shit i listened to the things you said i just dont agree with you

[ruby idol]

Prison isn't considered a large map so it sucks

[wide rock]

Sending you to sunny meadows!!

[dense ocean]

i think you're wrong and i stated why that is the opposite of "dismissing"

[south violet]

Wait really

[dense ocean]

hate when people say "you are dismissing me because you didnt instantly agree with every word i said!!!!"

[sly forge]

what does the size of map effect exactly i know sanity and hunt duration

[south violet]

You're coming with meh mf

[ruby idol]

Yeah only the school and sunny is large

[dense ocean]

there's an xp multiplier for map size as well

[wide rock]

I'll be the truck princess thanks

[forest radish]

Prison, the medium map that is secretly a large map
Sunny Meadows: Restricted, the medium map that is secretly a small map
Point Hope, the small map that is secretly a medium map

[south violet]

Nah fam, join up

[sly forge]

snooze

[south violet]

That's lame but also good maps

[dense ocean]

Tfym sunny meadows medium and secretly small 💀

[sly forge]

ah yes sunny meadows the small map

[south violet]

That's fuh tbh lol

[dense ocean]

SM:R is a true medium map lol it is not small and it is not large

[forest radish]

RESTRICTED

Amended

[ruby idol]

Def want a school rework

[dense ocean]

Ur crazy thinking that sm:r is small

[wide rock]

The highschool map is fucking cooked. I spent so long looking for the bone!

[forest radish]

SM:R is small

its so small

It's one hallway

[wide rock]

Tanglewood is bigger

[dense ocean]

for save file issues you could have legacy versions write save files to a different directory than the main game version

now im thinking ghost ai and stupid console bs is the biggest issue with a legacy map board

[forest radish]

It's definitely the smallest medium map

[dense ocean]

maybe they'll do the right thing and not delete old grafton and bleasdale though just omit the clicking of the delete button from the rework process pretty please (more maps = more content more content = more good !!!!)

ok nobody cares i'll stop now

well if nobody replies i'll stop talking to the void but fair warning i cant not reply back if someone responds to my yapping

[ruby idol]

don't even play the farm houses

[dense ocean]

i've played both they're pretty cool

[pliant fern]

I like grafton.

The ghost is always in the living room

[ruby idol]

they're fine, but I just don't care

[forest radish]

So how is it dead?

[south violet]

That's another good one

[pliant fern]

Either living room or the upstairs hallway

Dont think I've ever have a ghost anywhere else on grafton

[ruby idol]

the ghost when I run into the living room:

[forest radish]

Ghosts arent legally allowed to kill you in the living room

Especially if you eat 100 cheese wheels

[cedar talon]

maybe the strategy is to die on purpose so then the police have to come get the ghost themselves to investigate the murder

[forest radish]

The dying room on the other hand..

often misheard as the dining room

[limpid plaza]

what ghost blows out candles

[forest radish]

All of them

[limpid plaza]

darn it

[quasi cairn]

Well are you asking which one hunts after it blows out the candle three times or just in general?

[limpid plaza]

it did hunt right after it blew out the candle

[quasi cairn]

Lowkey possibly an Onryo (?) I would read through the ghosts

I play a lot but sometimes if I’m not ready the ghost info I’m not very smart-

[limpid plaza]

what ghost is a lot faster when it first starts hunting?

[forest radish]

None, but there are several ghosts that have speed increases

When you say a lot faster, when it slowed down, was it instant?

[limpid plaza]

idk it just slowed down after it hunted for a bit

ehh

[ruby idol]

were you looping?

[limpid plaza]

no

[pliant fern]

Could be a raiju that spawned near electronics and ran away from them

[ruby idol]

was anyone looping?

[limpid plaza]

no

[forest radish]

Or a Hantu in its favourite room

[pliant fern]

Could be a hantu that spawned in the cold and ran to a warmer area

[ruby idol]

first choices is raiju or hantu

[pliant fern]

Could be a jinn that saw you and sprinted and slowed down when it reached you

[ruby idol]

they said no one was looping

so no one should of been seen

[limpid plaza]

im left with banshee yokai and thaye

[pliant fern]

Thaye is the only one that is fast of those 3

[ruby idol]

the only one of those has speed differences is a thaye, were you talking about different hunts?

since thaye can't change its speed during a hunt

[limpid plaza]

i think i did smth wrong

[pliant fern]

[mental siren]

How slow does a thaye change its speed

[ruby idol]

it goes from 2.75 m/s to 1 m/s

for refrence 2.75 is close to a max speed hantu and is a bit slower than a max speed deo
1.0 is a no sight rev speed.

[mental siren]

I thought deogen was supposed to be slow

[ruby idol]

only when close up

[forest radish]

When within 3m of you

[mental siren]

That explains a lot of my games

[ruby idol]

Deos are fast when you're far away

[mental siren]

They know where you are and they’re fast to get there?

[forest radish]

Yep

But once the distance is closed you can outwalk them

[ruby idol]

Yeah, they're like Usain bolt, but when they get close its like you hit it's knee with a metal pipe

[cedar hatch]

Praise Deo, my fav ghost
