[distant crow]

i forgot about that

[wise oyster]

@modern mauve NukaDave has paused the Ascension challenge to prep for Gigapoc. He's going to resume Ascension after completing that (when Chronicle will have dropped)

[modern mauve]

"Gigapoc"???

[atomic leaf]

he’s so locked in what a legend

[modern mauve]

Does he do it blindfolded or something

[wise oyster]

NukaDave's GIGAPOC Challenge: The Phasmophobia No-Hit Run - Level 1-100 Apocalypse 3 Perfect Games, House Maps Back To Back. RULES: Any equipment. Failed perfect game = Reset Save File. (Reload save file from I-001) Photo deletion allowed. No reloads for ideal scenarios such as easier objectives. Reloads allowed for technical issues, inaccessible bone and Blood Moon.

[fervent forge]

why is ghost invincible on ghost photo??

[odd vale]

Phantom

[fervent forge]

i think its bugged

[odd vale]

I think you need to study the ghost more

[white pivot]

invincible?

[odd vale]

They mean invisible

[vivid crater]

why is it allowed to reload if it's a bloodmoon?

[royal jasper]

Yeah it's probably a phantom

[fervent forge]

it was a mimic

[wise oyster]

idk ask him

[odd vale]

Very possible a mimic

[vivid crater]

never understood that

[fervent forge]

why are you lying

[odd vale]

Mimics can mimic the behavior of any ghost

[fervent forge]

how

[royal jasper]

Ah unlucky, mimic mimicing a phantom

[wise oyster]

The only one I ever even attempted was Leonapoc

[white pivot]

What is fionapoc

[fervent forge]

I like Obake

[royal jasper]

Same they're cool

[fervent forge]

didnt ask

[modern mauve]

I play BourbonPoc

[royal jasper]

Okay my bad.

[fervent forge]

no problem

[thin geyser]

why is my phasmophobia not phasmophobiang

[modern mauve]

I play drunk on whiskey

[odd vale]

🤨

[white pivot]

what

[wise oyster]

That's usually when I end up in public lobbies

[thin geyser]

yeah

[white pivot]

What dat supposed to mean

[odd vale]

Elaborate

[thin geyser]

'Missing Localisation Key' when i open up shop

then crash

[odd vale]

DM @violet nova for that error

[thin geyser]

how to report discord

[atomic leaf]

for nukapoc and megapoc he started those challenges before blood moon came out so he allowed resetting on it but i’m not sure why he’s allowing it on gigapoc

[odd vale]

Report discord?

[thin geyser]

idk

[white pivot]

is there a kilopoc and megapoc

[thin geyser]

phamso modmail is slow

[royal jasper]

Onryo is guaranteed to hunt after 3rd blow out?

[wise oyster]

There's a Megapoc yes

[vivid crater]

guaranteed to attempt a hunt

[odd vale]

That is the only way to assist with that error

[white pivot]

Terapoc petapox exapoc zetapoc

[blissful gust]

no but very likely to i believe

[white pivot]

No

[blissful gust]

i’ve had onryos not hunt after 3 blow outs

[odd vale]

It will try to hunt after the third blow

[royal jasper]

What's supposed to mean? Sorry I'm a bit stupid...

[white pivot]

It attemps to hunt but it not always sucessful

[odd vale]

There are specific things for it, really.

[modern mauve]

It's guaranteed (unless there's another flame nearby, or you light a 4th flame too soon after)

[vivid crater]

hunt attempt can be canceled with a flame nearby

[odd vale]

Check #1254568921110024254

[white pivot]

It’s not guaranteed

[royal jasper]

Ah alright.

[white pivot]

If there’s a crucifix near it won’t be able to hunt

Idk

The food or the phone

[thin geyser]

blackberries are tuff

[white pivot]

Personally i like both

[hot zephyr]

Then it wasn’t in its room or it didn’t happen in the correct timing

[blissful gust]

hmm

[royal jasper]

Yeah I've heard that candles act like mini crucifix that have a 2m range for onryo, if you're lower sanity and it's roaming, it could still hunt outside of that range if I am not wrong.

[vivid crater]

4m

[royal jasper]

Oh, right.

[blissful gust]

yeah probably

[thin geyser]

did yall know that the revenant is fast

[odd vale]

Yep

When it senses you

[royal jasper]

No what's that, is that a new car?

[odd vale]

And chases

[thin geyser]

freaky ghost

[odd vale]

Rev is my fave

[thin geyser]

nah its a fish

wow

[hot zephyr]

Anyone have issues with hunt durations?

[tired moss]

I fixed it, could’ve been a coincidence. But I got it after I tried doing the guess n leave in multiplayer mode

[odd vale]

Oh yay

[thin geyser]

deogen

is slow

[south violet]

Starts fast but slows down near you

[royal jasper]

When moroi curses someone their sanity still drops while being under the light?

[odd vale]

Yeah

[vivid crater]

you can use candles so you won't lose too much or pills

[royal jasper]

So if I am in the truck after being cursed from a moroi my sanity will continue to drop?

[vivid crater]

only inside the investigation area

[royal jasper]

And there is no way to remove the curse?

[vivid crater]

sanity medication

[royal jasper]

Removes the curse? Okay thanks.

[analog sphinx]

if i smudge and it hits 2:30 minutes and it starts hunting is it a spirit or not because i still dont understand the 3 minute cooldown spirit thing

[sturdy shuttle]

not a spirit

spirit’s hunt after 3 minutes after smudging

[wise oyster]

2:30 < 3:00

[analog sphinx]

ah i see so thats what it means

[sturdy shuttle]

man these lfg chats dead

[wise oyster]

Noon on a Wednesday in NA? Yeah not surprised

[royal jasper]

There is no way to tell a goryo in no evidence other than it changing ghost rooms?

[lost dome]

the smudge timer srtarts when smudged not after hunt stops so be sure you timed correctly

[wise oyster]

Correct, or rather not changing rooms in Goryo's case

[royal jasper]

Also the goryo is bugged? It's not supposed to roam or something? But it does anyway?

[blissful gust]

i was on insanity and had no evidence while the ghost didn’t change rooms the whole time 💀 turned out to be an oni

[wise oyster]

It doesn't do long roams, but it can still wander out of its room. Working properly as far as I know

[royal jasper]

Alright

[modern mauve]

Another thing I've realised, is how much reliance I have for the T3 EMF to find precise locations of items that have been interacted with

[royal jasper]

I'm struggling to differentiate between oni blinks and normal ghost blinks, am I stupid?

[wise oyster]

Yeah it's so useful it quickly becomes the default

[lost dome]

queue Mezzo with the blink Gif

[royal jasper]

What?

[wise oyster]

not at all. Oni blinks are harder to spot, than say, Phantom blinks b/c your brain doesnt send up the same warning signals "I can't see the ghost!" I had to focus on them for a long time before I could comfortably ID them

[glass dome]

what makes a raiju a raiju during a hunt

[lost dome]

She has a good gif showing the blink differences

[wise oyster]

It's also on the Cheat Sheet under Guides > Hunts > Flickering

[royal jasper]

In my case, If you're looping it and you turn your flash light on for a brief moment and it speeds up and slows down again after you turn it off it's a raiju, but you need to also be in a room where there are no electronics present.

[wise oyster]

Instantly goes to 2.5m/s when near active electronics

[glass dome]

Gotcha

Im trying to study up for my no evidence run tn

[wise oyster]

Definitely check out the Cheat Sheet

[modern mauve]

Aaaaaaand level 16, got all of the items

[wise oyster]

boss

[lost dome]

stop time to reset

[modern mauve]

14 games it took me to get to 16

[royal jasper]

Also raiju can hunt at 65% sanity if there are electronics present in the room, can help you eliminate some ghosts if you're playing with the sanity monitor

[wise oyster]

not bad

[royal jasper]

Thanks ❤

[modern mauve]

Taken about 3 and half hours to get there, so I guess it's not entirely unreasonable, but it still feels too slow

I have all but two maps unlocked

[graceful parcel]

Is it true that you can get freezing temperatures below 1 but above 0 it doesn't actually have to be -1 or below?

[white pivot]

Freezing means below 0

[modern mauve]

Freezing is 0.9 and below in Phas

[runic flower]

please tell me.
Can a ghost light the candles on the magic circle?

The other day while I was playing, the candle in the magic circle lit up by itself. Is this by design?

[lost dome]

for clarity it is only because non freezing ghosts cannot go below 1, not that it is considered freezing yet

[pure ruin]

Out of curiosity does anyone know when the easter event is

[glacial stag]

We'll get a sneak peak of it on the 17th of April, there's a post on the phasmo Twitter #social-media-feed

[lost dome]

my guess the week before Easter

[pure ruin]

@glacial stag @lost dome thank you

[wooden sparrow]

HOW TO YOU

how do you connect the sound to your headphones

[wise oyster]

There's just the April Fools joke?

[glacial stag]

Scroll up further to about the 25th of March

[grim echo]

My phas keeps crashing any advice???

[wise oyster]

ok yeah. Wow that is super late. Figured they'd release earlier in the month w/ Easter being so late already

[graceful parcel]

@modern mauve so despite not fitting the actual definition of below freezing I can still count it as evidence at long its below 1

[glacial stag]

Tbh idrc if an event is on time for the season

[modern mauve]

0.9 degrees and below, yes

[wise oyster]

Good point, the "seasonal" events now have very little to do with the holiday

[glacial stag]

I just want to fill my cabinets with stuff

[modern mauve]

Like Halloween '22 trophy? @gritty dove

One day, she's gonna ban me for making fun her lack of trophy

Np

Two more levels until Professional, gonna soar after that

[gritty dove]

Look at you, you're learning

[serene creek]

Iss there any ghost with DoTs as evidence) more likely to do a bulb break event?

[tiny coral]

how to test for jin when plaing 11.6x

[tiny coral]

it isnt related to any ghost its an activity any ghost can do it

[serene creek]

Figured.

Gona guess this is a goryo since I only seen dots while I was in the truck.

[graceful parcel]

Is there any way to fill up the cabinets on the right

[haughty ravine]

Can the Onryo light the candles in Bleasdale?

[unique linden]

No

I don't think any ghost can do that

[serene creek]

finally. a perfect game on bleasdale with my 7.42x multiplier. took long enough lol

[modern mauve]

Good job

Getting perfects always feels good

[compact pine]

I decided to make a list of ghosts I get while grinding CWW and with an average of 2.6 I got 6 moroi's.

and 5 phantoms and 5 banshees

[glass dome]

I never understood banshees besides from the parabolic mic

[compact pine]

but the rest are 4 or lower, there's just days where you get quite a lot more of a specific ghost and I think it's really funny

[glass dome]

I know they target people but that’s abt it

[compact pine]

They target people but can't change favorite room, have a chance of leaving EMF

[obtuse badge]

Banshees will care only about ONE person in the investigation. This is for hunt sanity (Target at 50%), hunts (will straight up ignore non targets assuming target is in house), and will periodically roam to the targets location

[compact pine]

got my first onryo of the day

still missing polty, yokai and spirit

[serene creek]

So you are saying that when Banshees hunt, they are upset that their Senpai hasn't noticed him/her.

[glass dome]

wait so like the entire investigation it only targets one person’s sanity until they die?

Do they target them in hunts as well?

They don’t change at all

[placid kettle]

Who can I contact to see why I dont have prestige one from playing before the ascension update. Got pictures if needed.

[deep geyser]

Is there evidence in the challange?

[queen dome]

Yes

[queen dome]

All 3, just t1 equipment

[deep geyser]

Thank you!

[queen dome]

I got killed by a demon on my first one, went downstairs for the breaker and he gave me a hand necklace

[modern mauve]

Goodbye shitty flashlight, hello slightly bad flashlight

[queen dome]

Got the achievement though so that was nice

[toxic stone]

anyone got a cursed item map for the bleasdale rework

[pure hornet]

ghosts can't change the outside right? I remember it being night now it's sunrise

[modern mauve]

Someone used the monkey paw

They wished for sunrise

[pure hornet]

no I'm solo

and it's voodoo doll

[white pivot]

Maybe you have bad memory? Idk

[pure hornet]

no it was definitely night

[white pivot]

It doesn’t just change on its own

[modern mauve]

Do you have a video of any kind? Sounds like a really strange bug

[pure hornet]

nah sadly

[obtuse badge]

Banshees basically pretend there is 1 person in the game

Bro took too long in the investigation 😭

[slate shore]

the ghost will literally pass you if you're not the target and the target is in the house

i dont remember how it works when the target isn't in the house, does it just become a normal ghost ?

[pure hornet]

bug probably

[vestal ferry]

They dont target anyones sanity. They just base their hunting times based on that 1 person's sanity.
If fav person is in investigation area, it will not kill anyone else until fav person is dead.
If fav person is outside area, itll target any person like a normal ghost.

[lucid plank]

I guess this report of getting levels back is useless

[odd vale]

What do you mean?

[lucid plank]

I am trying to look for a higher staff that can put the levels in the place that I played this game

Like a kenetic Staff..

[lucid plank]

They literally closed my report

After I said that

[white pivot]

Damn 💀

[odd vale]

THe QA Department for Modmail is the one to report to get levels returned. Unless you reset save file or it's your first time entereing after Ascension and you were looking for your old levels

[marsh river]

are you the person who said you clicked the reset progress button then when the window came up and asked you to confirm it and this cannot be reversed you hit ok and continued to wipe your level?

[lucid plank]

Yeah..

[marsh river]

Then this isn't an issue that is getting fixed as it was you confirming the level wipe.

You're going to have to progress again

There was 2 warnings, 2 confirm buttons, you confirmed them 2 times

[lucid plank]

I was trying to reset the cursor... I didn't know what the settings are for

[pure hornet]

lmao I'm playing bleasdale, I was outside trying to find the ghost room and I tried to go back to the van but I couldn't open the gate, it was a demon hunting while I was at 100% sanity easiest game ever didn't even find the room

[lucid plank]

Cause the cursor was not on my screen..

[marsh river]

the text explained what the reset would do, not once, but twice

this is not a Kinetic Games issue, this wsa you not reading issue.

[acoustic thicket]

I wish I can eat the potato in the map

[marsh river]

you are going to have to level again

[odd vale]

Sorry dude, that sucks

[marsh river]

you can argue as much as you want but your progress is gone

[lucid plank]

Someone once reset the level once and they brought it back...

You can check my hours..

I played this game longer then the levels I played

[vestal ferry]

Those are super rare to be able to do and requires quick actions by the user themselves.

[devout brook]

What memes would you guys use to describe ghosts?

[modern mauve]

LEVEL 20!

[vestal ferry]

Look at bourbon go. Learning the game so good.

[odd vale]

No need to check. Nothing we can do. If the QA department can't restore your levels then you will have to start over. Sorry.

[lucid plank]

Am I allowed to respond in dms?

[odd vale]

Like to me?

I don't think there's anything to discuss.

[lucid plank]

I am not sure

[south violet]

As a ps5 player what should i have my sens as?

[lucid plank]

And my game bugged..

[tight spear]

What's with the number on the bottom left of the board?

[odd vale]

If you couldn't see the cursor it sounds like NVIDIA took over trying optimize game on its settings.

[lucid plank]

I did fixed it few weeks ago

[odd vale]

That is your Unity ID and sometimes needed for tech issues

[odd vale]

Did what

[tight spear]

ohh

[lucid plank]

I fixed my cursor after I reset my levels by accident, I thought there was an option to have the cursor fixed instead of reseting my levels, didn't read the title before doing it lol

[odd vale]

[lucid plank]

The mario shrug wasn't necessary LOL

[warm sandal]

I know we are beyond suggestions but it'd be lovely if we could get a custom difficulty option to force the ghost to change rooms every time it wanders, I've tried 0 sanity high wander high change room chance games and the ghost only changes once every 20 minutes or so

[white pivot]

it's rng based

[warm sandal]

Yes it is

[white pivot]

but yeah on highest setting it's rare for it to stay in the same room for 20 minutes

unless you got a ghost that doesn't roam much

like goryo

[warm sandal]

It would be nice if we could get a custom difficulty option to force the ghost to change rooms every time it wanders

[versed ibex]

Next time read what you click it gives a warning before doing it

[white pivot]

I didn't even know there was a setting to reset your levels

[mossy mason]

it resets your whole save file

all badges, trophies, legacy stuff, everything

[white pivot]

jeez

they should have like a way to delete saves off of steam cloud itself

I wanted to reset my save on one game, but they didn't have a formal way of doing it

I tried to delete the save on my computer but steam cloud kept automatically downloading it again

[odd vale]

Sorry. Wasn't trying to be rude. You had said lol right before so I was trying to reply something silly back

[native copper]

my luck is amazing i rarely get tarrot cards and when i finnaly got it i pulled a... Hanged Man

[marsh river]

if you go into the settings (Book) go to the last page and find the reset all progress button, hit it, confirm the popup that gives you a big ole warning (THIS CANNA BE REVERSED) and hit confirm everything is wiped.

Poof

Gone

LIke the wind

[last drift]

I think steam cloud saves are dev only access. I remember reading that looking for a solution myself to start a game over

[white pivot]

still, I think it's weird that there's no formal way of deleting your saves

[last drift]

Which means some games I can't restart just to get achievements all over again.

I can't remember which game that was. my nephew wanted to play it from start.

[white pivot]

only way of doing so is to delete the local saves off of your computer while having steam cloud disabled for that game

assuming that the game uses local data for saves

[carmine crystal]

hey question, can you do apocalypse challenge with friends or does it half to be solo? this is a debate my friends have been having for a while

[white pivot]

it has to be solo

-apoc

okay thats what I thought thanks a lot. some of them trying to tell me that we can do it together

[white pivot]

they're full of elephant poop

[carmine crystal]

lmaoo typical for them XD

[modern mauve]

Okay game, two Brownstones in a row

[white pivot]

your fault for doing random

just saying

[modern mauve]

I forgive the game, gave me a close ghost room to the exit

[ivory quartz]

Ghost scary

[hoary wind]

random maps giving me nothing but prison bruh

[versed ibex]

Keep playing highschool you'll get an easy bone

[modern mauve]

I actually got a fairly easy bone twice

[lavish estuary]

dude ive been looking for this bone on tanglewood for 10 minutes

this is ridiculous 😭

[white pivot]

when playing big maps I just don't go for the bone

[modern mauve]

Look in the utility room - might be slightly hidden

[white pivot]

but I still get a perfect-ish game

[lavish estuary]

ive searched the entire house like 5x already 😭

can it bug and just not spawn

[modern mauve]

It'll always spawn, but it might not be reachable

[lime holly]

it could spawn somewhere unfindable/unreachable

[lavish estuary]

oh

[severe spruce]

Should be fixed, there were so many bone spawn fixes now

[lavish estuary]

im just gonna leave

[lime holly]

u csn check in stats

Where the bone was suppose to be

[lavish estuary]

DINING ROOM??

that thiing was noit in the dining room 💀

[severe spruce]

Was it tanglewood?

[lavish estuary]

yeppies

[severe spruce]

Then there's this curtain and a small bone can be invisible if it spawns just right

[lavish estuary]

😭

[severe spruce]

But you can still pick it up

[shadow forge]

So, we've got a ghost that has LoS speed, but when we broke LoS (on small campground) it didn't slow down, it stayed super fast as it ran around looking for us. Is this a bug?

[compact pine]

LoS takes a really long time to slow down. You should generally expect it to remain the speed that it was before breaking LoS.

[shadow forge]

Ok, cause I've played a bit of phasmo and we've never seen it stay that fast for an entire hunt before. lol

[compact pine]

After 65 ghosts (including 6 banshees, 6 moroi's and 6 phantoms) I finally got my first Poltergeist and still missing Spirit and Yokai.

What a fun day.

[west kindle]

poltergeist mentioned

[wise oyster]

Just remember: Completionist is only the beginning

[compact pine]

I already got all the ghost achievements, I'm just tracking the ghosts I get while grinding levels because it's absurd how I'm getting high amounts of a specific ghost

Yesterday I had 4 mimics in a row

[wise oyster]

gotcha, Polter feels super low among my ghosts too. It'd be nice if they gave us better stats, since they're already being tracked

[compact pine]

I usually constantly get Polters, Yokai's and Spirits but today I get everything but those

[severe spruce]

I once got like 10 revs in a row

It got to the point where i started a map, selected rev and left got it right

[compact pine]

lmao

my highest streak was 6 revs I think

[sonic blaze]

hi guys

[prisma laurel]

Who are you?

[sonic blaze]

ur best friend

[prisma laurel]

Already have one

[sonic blaze]

yea its me

[prisma laurel]

You're just dreaming

[sonic blaze]

actually sometimes i think i am

[formal fog]

Hello. Does someone know if the music from the boom box in the lobby is copyright free or not?

[sonic blaze]

probably

its a game they cant put regular music like the radio

[royal badger]

What’s good first time here

[sonic blaze]

hello 🔺

[formal fog]

So you mean it has copyright or not?

[prisma laurel]

This person is used for math 😭

[sonic blaze]

its probably copyright free

[royal badger]

Nu uh

[sonic blaze]

if youre so worried just mute it

[royal badger]

Brb

[last drift]

it could be royalty free.

[formal fog]

Oki. Thanks 🙂

[sonic blaze]

ofc ^^

[willow sierra]

i beat apoc 3 chat

before i got my first prestige too

[prisma laurel]

Was the ghost a deogen?

[willow sierra]

nope

[hollow meteor]

straight hackin

[willow sierra]

i died to a deo

it was a rev which is even better

it was in the far right wing on the 1st floor and it was soooo slow

[hollow meteor]

it's only slow if you're hiding and 15x has no hiding

and 15x has ghost fast or am I wrong so even a rev would be faster

[bronze tide]

OK this happened today and I was totally about to like cry

[smoky willow]

has nothing to do with hiding spots, he's slow if no los and fast with los

[prisma laurel]

You just have to be out it's detection range

[bronze tide]

my first ever hunt guys I was in tanglewood and hid in a closet and the ghost walked past and then like opened the closet

[hollow meteor]

you'll have that

[sonic blaze]

thats so crazy- thats a game mechanic..

[bronze tide]

no idea what I was supposed to do but the ghost was gone or so I thought I walked out and the door was locked so I literally RAN to the closet again

[hollow meteor]

ohh gotcha, I'm always hiding when it's slow so didn't know

[bronze tide]

my story ain't finished

[hollow meteor]

just close the door

[bronze tide]

and it walked past again and started singing I was literally so scared 😭😭 then it like creaked open and I slammed the door SHUT

[sonic blaze]

its a horror game, what did you expect 😭

[bronze tide]

like why did bro leave then come back after opening the damn door 💔💔

[sonic blaze]

singing is just an event- you can leave..

[prisma laurel]

It's more like a comedy game

[bronze tide]

It's my second time ever

[sonic blaze]

"ITS A MIMIC" i scream as we leave and its actually just a hantu

[bronze tide]

LITERALLY my friends were laughing at me so bad I was lime what do I even do 😭😭

[hollow meteor]

they'll sit there and open it repeatedly

[bronze tide]

it was a uhh

I cant remember but I put banshee cuz of the singing 💔💔

[sonic blaze]

girl what 😭

[turbid lance]

they kinda patrol throughout the house, they can go anywhere.
best practice is to wait in teh closet while holding the door shut until you can't hear it, then check if the hunt's over by watching the lights go out or by flicking a nearby light switch.

[prisma laurel]

Definitely you dying to a deogen 😭

[sonic blaze]

BRO I CRIED

[prisma olive]

literally me less than an hour ago, except it was the other way around, scremed "IT'S A HANTU!" and it was a mimic

[bronze tide]

I DONT KNOW I don't know much abt ghost behaviour yet

[sonic blaze]

saddest moment ever

[prisma olive]

i love mimics though

[bronze tide]

my friend told me if I thought the hunt was over to first check if my flashlight was still flickering is that a good method too

[sonic blaze]

OOO FALLOUT 4 IS DONE INSTALLING BYE GUYS

[bronze tide]

that was how I looked

[prisma laurel]

Naur!!

[prisma olive]

the flashlight only flickers if the ghost is within electronic interference range (15m if im not mistaken)

[sonic blaze]

bad method, ghosts can see your flashlights. try turning on a light with a lightswitch and if it doesnt switch or any lights are still on, hunts still going

[bronze tide]

ohhh

[prisma olive]

they will know where you are once they get closer to you

[bronze tide]

thankyou guys then

[prisma olive]

just try turning a light on

and you can also be in a room with the lights on, once the hunt ends, all lights turn off

[prisma laurel]

Definitely turn on your flashlight when hiding in a hiding spot 😄

[prisma olive]

no, that will get you found by the ghost! try using the radio voice chat instead, works better

[turbid lance]

yeah what Zeki said. it's a good indication of whether the ghost is near (and the ghost can event on you after the hunt and you'd get the same disturbance), but it doesn't mean hunt is over.

[prisma olive]

that way no one knows who got them killed lol

if you really want to use a flashlight, just drop it on the floor

the ghost won't track you via dropped equipment

that way you can also test for Myling

[bronze tide]

Ohhh

thank you guys 😭😭

[prisma olive]

you'll only be able to hear a Myling once it's inside the electronics range 👍

[prisma laurel]

I rather use my footsteps noise senses

[prisma olive]

same, i just go with my guts

[oak glen]

1 map rework per 6 months is crazy

[prisma olive]

i agree, never seen a game get full map makeovers so fast

[prisma olive]

i love when my guts tell me it's a myling and then i get spirit box response....

[oak glen]

slow you mean

[prisma olive]

you think remaking all the assets for a whole map in 6 months is slow?

[oak glen]

yeah

[prisma olive]

how many 3d artists do we have in phasmo nowadays? 2-3?

[prisma laurel]

Not much

[prisma olive]

if i was making a map by myself, it would take at minimum 3+ years to get anything mildly decent out

2 years of courses and learning, 1 year of giving up and then paying an actual artist to do it

[crude cipher]

this game creates some of the funniest moments i've had in my life

[wise oyster]

3 Environmental artists not including CJ in the credits, plus Zec (level design and 2D) and a character artist

[prisma olive]

so 6 artists in total that could be working non stop on just a map rework

yeah, still insane if they pump out a map every 6 months

[wise oyster]

theoretically yeah

[prisma olive]

that's crazy work

[prisma laurel]

Mostly every map could get reworked?

[wise oyster]

I understand prioritizing small maps b/c they get played much more, but high school and prison are most in need of it

[prisma olive]

high school and prison need a rework, indeed

prison feels so empty for its size

[prisma laurel]

When did brownstone and prison get released?

[prisma olive]

but reworking prison and high school would definitely take way longer

[wise oyster]

way before my time (I started August 2022). High school is basically a retooled unity store map

[prisma olive]

Apparently Early Access alpha

there isn't info on the wiki about when it got added

prison apparently was added on 0.2 on december 2020

[prisma laurel]

Was it true it was the first medium sized map before it was changed?

[wise oyster]

Yeah the OG maps were just what DK threw together, and he's not an artist either. It's fantastic for what it was at the time, but they need to be brought up to the quality of the rest of the game

[prisma olive]

im trying to find if brownstone is mentioned on any steam package updates

[wise oyster]

idk if it was the first, but HS was Medium up until like Dec 2023 iirc

[prisma olive]

First mention of school in the Steam Community Patch Notes dates to Build 5606764 (Post Launch Update #2) on 28 September 2020
"The Ghost now has a bigger interaction range on School and Asylum."

[wise oyster]

per the Wiki it was 0.9 and not included in patch notes

[prisma olive]

couldn't find any info on when High School was added. All I could find is:
" There are currently 5 houses, a school and and asylum map. "

This is the oldest mention of "school" in the discussions section of steam (Sep. 17, 2020)

[modern mauve]

Highschool was the first medium map, then Prison released later on

[prisma laurel]

So high school still gets that "first medium map" title?

[prisma olive]

yes

so, High School was "released" (shared to public, game wasn't out yet) on June 20, 2020

Steam Announcement
Progress Towards Release
Posted Sat, June 20, 2020

Since Phasmophobias announcement there has so far been 2 new maps with 2 more soon on the way. These new maps include a 2 story house map with tight corridors and a large High School map that is designed for teams of 3-4. This brings the current total maps to 5 which are all fully playable to early game testers.

[cobalt matrix]

Prison needs a skateboard

🛹

[tired moss]

Any chance the devs will increase lobby from 4 to 6?? Maybe even 8??

Would be nice on big maps like sunny meadows or highschool

[odd vale]

Nope.

[fair grove]

Why?

[prisma olive]

probably doesn't align with the game's philosophy

[odd vale]

They’ve mentioned before the game is designed for 4 players and that the servers wouldn’t not function correctly with the attempt of 6 players

[fair grove]

Also, I know it’s a game, but why are the characters so slow?

I know it’s not realistic and all

[prisma olive]

not being able to run from the ghost adds two things: fear factor and stamina control

[fair grove]

Yea it’s just funny how out of shape they are considering their job

[prisma olive]

they're absurdly out of shape, they can only run for 3 seconds lol

realism wise, yeah, doesn't make sense

[fair grove]

exactly they’re risking their lives and they’re in worse shape than the average middle schooler

[prisma olive]

but if the game was realistic, we'd be running around an empty house for hours waiting for something to happen xD

[fair grove]

Fr

[prisma olive]

but yeah, stamina control is a very important skill to learn and phasmo will probably stay as a 4 player max coop game

[jovial saddle]

guys

why a onryo in my game did an yurei door ability

it was fully opened and it slams the door lke a yurei

[odd vale]

Any ghost can do that. The yurei’s ability has that door slam accompanied with sanity loss. They are also the only ghost that can fully close the exit door outside of an event/ hunt.

[vestal ferry]

They used to be slower. Like way slower lol

[prisma olive]

I'm confused, isn't the double door touch a strictly Yurei thing? I understand other ghosts can close the door by interacting with it twice, but isn't the door closing from the Open state directly to the Closed state a Yurei ability?

Like how ghosts can turn the light switch off but a Mare is the only one that will turn it off immediately after you turn it on as an ability? (which still, any ghost could just turn the light off randomly)

[vestal ferry]

It is not. Any ghost can do it.

Yurei is more likely since its an ability.

[prisma olive]

Don't doors have 3 states? Fully open, halfway open and closed?

[vestal ferry]

its a door. Open or closed

[prisma olive]

That doesn't seem to align with how the ghosts interact with doors

When I have a ghost interact with a fully open door, it only closes it halfway

When the door is already past the halfway point, it closes and shuts

[prime elk]

shuee01

He's saying it because it's true. Telling people that it's 100% a yurei if it 'double touches' a door causes bug reports because people have been given wrong information and are telling others. So they think the game is broken when it isn't.

[odd vale]

This was posted by the lead QA for kinetic games

[prisma olive]

Yeah, that's exactly what I was mentioning, thanks

As I said, same with Mare turning a light switch off, any ghost can do that and it can be just a coincidence

Door shut (via double touch in case the door is fully open) + Sanity drain is the Yurei ability

I was just wondering about the double door touch being part of the ability

[odd vale]

Not necessarily

[prisma olive]

Does the Yurei not have to fully close the door on its ability?

[fair fractal]

No

[odd vale]

To be specific

It does have to fully close but not necessarily a double touch to it

[prisma olive]

Oh yeah, not a forced double touch

[graceful parcel]

Is maple Lodge a medium or large map

[odd vale]

Medium

[muted wave]

it would be cool if there was something on the map board to tell you which maps are small/medium/large, especially for newer players

[prisma olive]

that's actually not a bad idea

instead of showing the number of rooms, maybe show the map size

[muted wave]

yeah, because usually youd' be able to assume the sizes off of the room numbers and floors

but it isnt really intuitive enough seeing as bleasdale is a is a medium map with 20 rooms and 3 floors, while edgefield has 16 rooms and 3 floors and its small

i played edgefield yesterday assuming it was a medium map (for the daily, considering its size to tanglewood lol) but its also small
so you have to do trial and error to find out which maps are which sizes (or look it up)

[serene creek]

I should not have prestiged again. I miss the T3 items. ;_;

[prisma olive]

i was confused about the 3 floors on maple lodge and i found a glitch, wonderful

[frigid hatch]

It’s the money reward

[muted wave]

what is?

[steel flower]

the map sizes

$100 is small, $150 is medium and $200 is big

usually the top 5 maps are small

[muted wave]

oh i didn't know that, thats cool
you'd still have to know off the top of your head which are which though, i think it would be a nice qol if it showed on the board lol

[steel flower]

middle one are medium and bottom ones are large

well its along those lines

[muted wave]

i think its a little wild that prison is a medium map 😭

[steel flower]

i never knew that

never touched that map

tanglewood my beloved

[white pivot]

I mean, it fits the size, it just has a complex layout

[muted wave]

reall

[steel flower]

got my friend into phasmo 3 days ago and he can now play insanity pretty peak

[storm plinth]

nice

[white pivot]

I feel like point hope and bleasdale should be small maps

[muted wave]

bleasdale is a little big to be small imo

[white pivot]

I mean ig what makes it bigger than other house maps is the attic and the garden

Then again it isn’t really medium size

They’re both maps that would be on the gap of both ig

Maybe SMR aswell

[fair fractal]

Point Hope becoming medium solves some of the sanity drain issues

It’s been notorious for brutal sanity drain as a small map; I welcome the change to medium

[white pivot]

I still don’t think it has the size of a medium map tho

There should be a size between small and medium

[fair fractal]

That’s fine; I don’t think prison should be medium, it should be large

But here we are 😂

[white pivot]

Prison isn’t big, it just doesn’t have a consistent layout like other big maps

[fair fractal]

And that’s why I think it should be large - the sanity drain

[white pivot]

That would also mean longer hunts tho

[fair fractal]

They’re already long, what’s another 10 sec

[white pivot]

10 seconds can be a lot

During hunts every second counts

[fair fractal]

Just saying, there’s difference of opinion based on more than total map size or room count

[serene creek]

Is there a reason why Onryo would be hiding Spirit Box on Professional difficulty?

Cause that's twice now I got an Onryo that didn't give a spirit box response.

[white pivot]

Not really

[serene creek]

I should not have prestiged. Really on the shitty T1 items really sucks.

[slim ibex]

got tired of waiting for my friend to buy phasmo so i bought him phasmo im such a good person

[white pivot]

Idk, it sounds like he didn’t feel like buying it and was waiting on someone else to buy it for him

[slim ibex]

he just broke

[white pivot]

I get that, i’m just saying i kind of had a similar experience

[slim ibex]

plus we needed a third person

[white pivot]

My friend was hesitant to buy any game until he got his own bank account

He did get phasmophobia but doesn’t really play it because he doesn’t feel like learning it

[slim ibex]

when i got the game i grinded it so hard

3 hrs a day

[bright mantle]

anyone know how hard this weeks challenge mode is?

[mossy mason]

pretty easy from what i've heard

[slim ibex]

easy

[fair fractal]

It's not too bad if you're quick

[mossy mason]

just control sanity well

[slim ibex]

yeah

Thank you

Only the more reason to play more to unlock it again knowing that T1 items are dogshit

[exotic heath]

Anyone experiencing buggy ghost? I just got a Demon acting like a Wraith.

Ghost room in kids bedroom. Hunted on me in Kitchen twice. Got EMF 2 on me in Kitchen with nothing happening but steps in Salt when hunting again

Tangle btw

[desert chasm]

Deep roam I guess

[wide rock]

Was gonna say the same thing

Or it's changed ghost rooms

[desert chasm]

Hunt is the only way to know the salt wraith check for sure. I played a game for so long and it never walked in salt but then it hunted and stepped in the salt.

[exotic heath]

Nah what was weird is that I had salt down in kitchen entrance and. I heard him interacting in bedroom too before the EMF

[prisma olive]

Considering it hunted on kitchen twice it probably changed ghost rooms. Where exactly did you set the salt at?

[desert chasm]

That sounds most likely

[exotic heath]

3 salts. Kitchen entrance and 2 more around Loop area. No change of ghost room.

[prisma olive]

What tier of salt?

[exotic heath]

3

I’m almost Prestige ll lol just fyi lol. So no rookie

[prisma olive]

Did you place it exactly in the middle between Kitchen and Living Room or did you place it more to the side?

will assume no rookie then xD thx

so yeah, slight chance the ghost walked exactly where the salt was not covering

[exotic heath]

I still got the ghost right cause Smudge timer but that was was weird shit I expect from a Wraith

Thought ok Mimic but no Orbs

[wide rock]

At the end of the day it's not a wraith. Most likely thing to have occurred is the demon deep roaming. Either he interacted with something in the kitchen causing the emf without you realising what he interacted with and rushing back to the ghost room shortly after causing further interactions to occur in the ghost room

[exotic heath]

Well that fcker must’ve jumped over my Salt lol

[prisma olive]

Sometimes I also feel like that lol i don't understand how they don't step on my salt at times

but i've tested salt extensively and haven't found any flaws on it

[exotic heath]

Yea Salt never did me wrong before

[idle ocean]

When is phas independently coming to quest

Or are they not doing it

[ashen rock]

Why is there a skull emblem on my sunny meadows on Xbox not pc ?

[zinc coyote]

doubt the quest can run it

[wide rock]

Apoc challenge

You probably have it selected on Xbox

[idle ocean]

It probably could, meta three is able to run some pretty grphic heavy games

[last drift]

its always been there

[idle ocean]

But yeah they might just not be able to

[wide rock]

Is it only for apoc or is it always there? I swear it was only for apoc

[zinc coyote]

but they look dookie on the quest with poor performance

[prisma laurel]

This game gives me interaction 😭

[exotic heath]

Game is telling you to DO IT!

[idle ocean]

That makes it easier to find a ghost

[exotic heath]

I just need Apoc 3

[idle ocean]

Apoc 3 hurt me

[prisma laurel]

Nahhh I took photo of ghost and gives me interaction

[idle ocean]

@prisma laurel at least it was a three star?😬

[prisma laurel]

I needed ghost photo

[exotic heath]

I think if you can’t get ghost first hunt you might be screwed lol

[idle ocean]

I had a spirit

The most basic of basic ghosts

[exotic heath]

Ah easy with timer lol

[idle ocean]

Not for me😭

[wide rock]

Unfortunately for spirit though you have to smudge to figure it out - last thing you want to do is use a smudge

[exotic heath]

I probably see myself setting down all 3 salts with 2 smudges and camera and pray

[idle ocean]

Even when i time it, the ghost sometimes takes up to 4 minutes (and took up to 5 in my run) to hunt again with incense making it impossible to knkw

[exotic heath]

Huh on Apoc 3? How you survive with no smudging

[vital ibex]

Does anyone know how long it takes for the achievement card to arrive?

[idle ocean]

Wdym achievment card

[wide rock]

I mean smudging just for the sake of eliminating demon or spirit

[idle ocean]

Yeah, but if you do end up smudging just start a timer

[exotic heath]

Oh no. I’m smudging to stay alive lol. But why not timer it as well. I’m hearing steps with a mic.

[last drift]

the sticker notates which map is apoc

[exotic heath]

If I have to watch for blinks I’m pretty sure I would have to smudge

[idle ocean]

F*CK

0 grace is a Killa

[wide rock]

I had a fuckin aneurysm reading the word "notates" just then for some reason.

[narrow dew]

I always play 0 grace how does it change anything? Never made sense to me

[last drift]

ghost immediately hunts at start, with 0 seconds of "safety"

[blissful gust]

grace period makes u lose less sanity and the ghost can’t hunt for that time so if u get a demon or an onryo that spawns in the chapel of sunny meadows then you’ll be fine i guess 😭

[last drift]

no

[blissful gust]

what?

[exotic heath]

Yea with grace ghost will give you a warning before it actually starts hunting for you to kill

[last drift]

grace period is how many seconds at the start of a hunt the ghost cant kill you. has nothing to do with what you said

[blissful gust]

ohhh that’s setup time

i got the two confused 😭 my bad

[last drift]

oh i see ❤️

[fair quartz]

Fuck there I said it

[last drift]

Fiddlesticks!

[wide rock]

Banned for cussing

[exotic heath]

Setup time is when ghost can hunt.

Grace is how fast a ghost can kill when it’s hunting

The ghost fears the potato that's why it hides it

Look in the cabinets below it

[slim swan]

I just found the potato for the first time last night. It is now my favorite part. My emotional support potato.

[exotic heath]

Yall supposed to put potato on dining table on a plate with fork and spoon and potato will disappear

Then watch the magic happen

[zinc coyote]

Loop around the potato

[south violet]

Just dont die standing there telling the Potato all of your issuses of the day

Probably medium

[slim swan]

It would be a tragedy if we couldnt!

[exotic heath]

Idk. I get ghost with evidence before it even hunts lol

one more question though…

do you find them in particualy COLD temperatures?

as if you’d be freezing?

[south violet]

As Leon once said "Whered everybody go Bingo ?"

[slim swan]

"I knew youd be fine if you landed on your butt"

[south violet]

This is a good attack on the Ghost from Leon "Rain or shine, you’re going down!”

[white pivot]

can banshees do ghost events on other players?

[fair quartz]

What do they taste like?

[zinc coyote]

Spicy grape soda

[slim swan]

I say that when I am hunting the ghosties sometimes lol

[wise oyster]

yes

[white pivot]

damn

[south violet]

That actually made me realize I could just download Leon saying it & the ghost can hear it

[slim swan]

DO IT

[wise oyster]

That's partially why I roll my eyes at the Banshee extra sanity drain thing. Yeah it happens, but it's so specific and so small it really never matters. Same as Phantom drain

[south violet]

I shall have it done the next time I play

[mild lotus]

That was the wrong group, My apologies. lol

[zinc coyote]

just have ashley screaming LEON to bait the ghost the whole hunt

[south violet]

Heh funny just got the idea download a video of best Leon quotes play that also

[wise oyster]

You'd have to be accurately tracking your sanity drain (which is possible using the Cheat Sheet) to notice a tiny extra drain

[slim swan]

The possibilities are almost limitless

[south violet]

Add in AI custom lines makes it ENDLESS

[slim swan]

Please find one about a potato

Maybe from LotR?

If you're a fan

[south violet]

I can make Leon say something about a Potato if one does not exist

[slim swan]

Excellent!

I’m sayingggg. I had a Demon act like a Wraith today

[zinc coyote]

You think thats bad? I had a wraith step in salt once

[exotic heath]

Nah that’s crazy. Let’s all assume every ghost is a Mimic til proven otherwise

[ripe surge]

I feel like I should retire, i thought an oni was a spirit

[zinc coyote]

It mustve been desync because it only happened on my end, the salt was still normal on my friends end

[zinc coyote]

it happens

Depends on the situation. If you start with the break on then probably a minute when you open the door.

[rigid thistle]

Should I just play phasmo on PC? i've done all my stuff on console so it'd suck losing my special event cards, etc.

[zinc coyote]

Entirely up to you

[rigid thistle]

I wish I could like... port my saved data.

[zinc coyote]

Yea sadly no cross progression at the moment. dunno if theyll ever add it either

[wise oyster]

I certainly wouldn't think it'd be a pre-1.0 priority

[zinc coyote]

agreed

i havent touched a console since like 2020 but itll be a nice feature for people switching over to pc

[rigid thistle]

Either that or have old event cards/trophies be available somehow.

[wise oyster]

Deep Rock Galactic does a good job of that. But the unlocks are customizations, not trophies.

[steep hearth]

Hopefully down the line they will, must suck for people switching over

[zinc coyote]

ye i know a few people on console who would like a pc but dont want to start over

[clever quiver]

For some reason when I'm in game with friend, I see my equipment added on I have to disable them every time, can make it default so I don't have my equipment in friends lobby pernament?

[wary raft]

ts pmo

[zinc coyote]

Turn off auto buy in the loadout computer

[toxic stone]

anyone got a map for the bleasdale rework

Cant find these silly cursed objects

[midnight vector]

how do you go about askig to play with others on this game

[toxic stone]

#lfg-eu #lfg-na

[neat sierra]

is the brownstone high school a good ish begineer map?

[prisma laurel]

It's a big map, are you sure?

[neat sierra]

no

[wise oyster]

not at all, for many reasons

[ivory urchin]

if you check #fan-creations then see the pinned messages, you will find the Unofficial Cheat Sheet made by SeverelyZero. You can see an updated map on his website

[pastel rampart]

where's opoT

[prisma laurel]

He gone

[pastel rampart]

rip, i prefer him

[prisma laurel]

Vanished into thin air

[ember abyss]

So the daily task is survive with only starter items - I just did with dots/uv/flashlight/video camera/spirit box/emf/thermo all tier one and it didn’t count so… what does it mean by ‘starter items’?

[odd vale]

Started are the items you get as if you were brand new

Remove your entire loadout. The starter items are what is in the truck

[pastel rampart]

do you get flashlight starting out? i swear you dont but i could be wrong

[prisma laurel]

You do

[spiral harbor]

Anyone down to play I’m decently new kinda want friends to play with

[rare parcel]

does anybody know why my friend's game won't start up correctly when she launches it? this was her exact wording: "its starts up phas, but when it gets to initializing , it blacks out n shuts down"

[spiral harbor]

I’m on PlayStation JuicyOG_420

[pastel rampart]

i have no clue what causes it but i just kept restarting my game and even shut down the console/pc and it worked fine afterwards

[rare parcel]

did you get the "phas.exe is not responding" window?

[dull oyster]

i was gonna say maybe turn the pc off & on? like completely close out of steam, or maybe delete phas and reinstall it if she wants to take the time for it

[ember abyss]

I did, it won't let you remove the 'main equipment' so that's all I took with me

[pastel rampart]

yes

[zinc coyote]

I assume the writing book, too? I didn't see that there in the original message.

[ivory urchin]

what i'd recommend is you Reset your Loadout then enable it,

Also, it can be any tier. As long as the items you have in the truck are the ones given by the Ghost Hunting Distribution for free, we are good

[turbid lance]

did you take multiples of the same starter equipment? you can only take in one of each. it can be any tier, but only one.

[spiral harbor]

Does anyone wanna play?

[ember abyss]

yep just one of each - book, dots, uv, flashlight, spirit box, emf, thermometer, and video camera

[vestal ferry]

You need to not bring anything at all. If you personally add anything then it wont count.
The weekly challenge difficulty also counts for doing start item stuff.

[outer cradle]

Tell me why I walked into the house (i was well into the investigation) was at 100% sanity and somehow the ghost decided to hunt right away, I had no idea it was a hunt...died of course LOL 😆 thought it was a demon but no...my sanity must have been really low because it was a jinn but ahahahaha it was at 100 when I walked into the house which means hella zapping 😆😂😭 omg I looked at the details, 86% sanity lost AHAHAHA funny!

Doesnt help it was in the basement at willow street lol

[wise oyster]

jinn can be brutal

no cooldown on that 25% drain

[outer cradle]

I love jinns but yes they can 😂😂 silly jinn

I thought it was an event happening...but then I heard the laughing and immediately died LOL 😆

[versed ibex]

[loud urchin]

[zinc coyote]

[versed ibex]

Stay away from my glowsticks

[versed ibex]

Your next 3 bones will be out of bounds

[zinc coyote]

Not the bones

[versed ibex]

Indeed

Optional eye adaptation when

It is time to no evidence on Bleasedale

Being an adult is weird I keep forgetting I am one

I see stuff like "18+" in lfg and immediately rule it out then go "oh wait I'm about to be 20"

[white pivot]

what

[versed ibex]

What

[white pivot]

wdym optional eye adaption

[versed ibex]

The eye adaptation they added

Should be optional

Not forced

[white pivot]

it isn't?

you can turn it off

[odd vale]

I know for PC it is optional

[versed ibex]

Either I'm blind or it's PC only

[outer cradle]

Im on console too, i dont have the option either

[odd vale]

I’m not sure about console. I know console settings are quite limited

[versed ibex]

Definitely not in here

[jovial vector]

hello guys

i recently went back to this game

[zinc coyote]

You can turn it off on pc, idk about console tho

[zinc coyote]

Welcome back

[versed ibex]

Yeah that was established

I'm not on PC anymore so PC settings are irrelevant

[outer cradle]

Welcome back!

[versed ibex]

It's so janky having my screen get darker and lighter

[zinc coyote]

Figured console would have the option too

[outer cradle]

Same, it's more convenient for me for console so I bought it on my xbox

[jovial vector]

It feels like ive been learning from 0 again since the level rework years ago

[odd vale]

Yeah, it was a year and a half ago

[versed ibex]

My laptop broke right after sunny released so not really an option for me

[odd vale]

Very different after that

[jovial vector]

Anyway i have a question that bugged me while i was reading ghost descriptions

[versed ibex]

Console was the only choice

[jovial vector]

How far can full speed deogen reach?

[outer cradle]

Mine hardly runs it really, I can play Tanglewood and thats about it so I understand 🥹 its an old (2017) laptop so it's kinda ick lol

[white pivot]

max speed? 3m/s

it gets slower the closer it is to someone

[jovial vector]

If i was hiding in sunny meadows far left upper floor and the ghost was in basement far right wing, can it still reach me?

Has someone tested

[zinc coyote]

If the hunt is long enough, yes

[white pivot]

it ALWAYS finds you

[jovial vector]

Thats crazy

[jovial vector]

I know, i just wanted to know if it can still find me as far as possible in the map

[zinc coyote]

With the hunt timer set to long + a cursed hunt probably

[versed ibex]

Add a version of sunny with the third floor lmao

[jovial vector]

Unfortunately the OG asylum was no longer here bc i was pretty sure thats even bigger

[versed ibex]

It is sunny is 69 rooms and old asylum was 111

But old asylum was so bland it had nothing

[zinc coyote]

I miss old asylum

Definitely not as detailed as sunny but it had a nice feel to it

[jovial vector]

i agree it was bland but i liked the thrill lmao

[zinc coyote]

Something about it felt spookier too

[jovial vector]

i used to memorize the map back then

part of why i quit for a while bc i saw that map was gone 😔

[zinc coyote]

Bleasedale just recently had a rework. You should check it out if you havent yet

[lavish geode]

the endless hallways of old asylum were cool af....would destroy consoles tho

[jovial vector]

i saw actually, it looked very very nice, it used to look similar to grafton

[outer cradle]

I second the bleasedale one, it's a pretty map

[versed ibex]

That's why it was reworked Bleasedale and Grafton were practically the same map

[cold beacon]

In a single straight line it takes 55 seconds for a Deogen to cross wall-to-wall from dorm room to dorm room on Sunny. Probably about ~60 seconds if it had to go up or down a floor.

So if you're on high hunt duration or its a cursed hunt it can just about make it on 100% ghost speed

[white pivot]

it's like a normal player sprinting without stamina

[cold beacon]

100% player speed infinite sprint if you want to play Deogen simulator.

[jovial vector]

can you set infinite stamina on the custom game setting?

[cold beacon]

Yes.

[jovial vector]

now i wanna play sunny over and over on custom until i get deogen just for a testing purpose 😭

[cold beacon]

With the monkey paw wish, every ghost is a deogen!

Still even if you do get a Deogen it's unlikely it's going to be right at the very edge of the map

[jovial vector]

true

[hoary wind]

With monkey paw wish, you can turn into the deogen

[wise oyster]

I wish to be the

[zinc coyote]

wish for ghost baddies

[jovial vector]

So i tried one Sunny Meadows custom run with guaranteed Ouija board, the ghost says its in the hospital wing while i was in the chapel doing the ouija, then it threw my stuffs next to me and thats how i knew it's a wraith and it was the fastest nope out of the map for me

💀

[cold beacon]

A few months ago I was testing stuff in the examination room for a community project and the ghost was somewhere way off in the map upstairs

until about... 20-25 minutes into it where i lit a firelight and it blew out shortly afterward

[jovial vector]

So from what i read banshee and phantom can also appear next to you right?

My first thought was wraith so i picked it and i lucked out tho

[cold beacon]

Yeah but they have to walk. Like chumps

[jovial vector]

So it would take time instead of instant then?

[queen river]

I NEED HELP, MY SCREEN IS STUCK ON CONNECTING FOR MULTIPLAYER, IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR A YEAR

I TRIED EVERYTHING

[hoary wind]

try just closing ur game and reopening it

[hoary wind]

Basically they dont "appear" next to you
Banshees roam from their ghost room to you and back to their ghost room without leaving emf2
Phantoms roam from their ghost room to you and back to their ghost room with leaving emf 2
Wraiths TP to you and leave EMF 2 then roam back to their ghost room

ill link an example of a wraith ability

waiting for goryos to be buffed :/

[hoary wind]

notice how the Motion sensors didnt read it coming towards me but rather when the emf 2 activated, it detected them roaming away

[ornate dew]

does this weeks challenge mode hide any evidence?^^

[hoary wind]

i'd link an example of a banshee/phantom for comparison but i cant find the clips damn

[glacial stag]

no, it's 3 evidence

[vivid heath]

if shade why burn cruici when all of us in room?

[blissful gust]

mimic

[blissful gust]

please no

[cold beacon]

It might have stepped over the boundary into another room and then tried to hunt.

[tranquil pumice]

I got a clear photo of ghost writing and the dumb hitboxes of the towel on the ground (tanglewood storage room) is blocking it or some dumb stuff

[lime holly]

The photo system.. its… not good

[tranquil pumice]

I can tell

I'm pretty sure it was the bleasdale update that did this, but when I was playing a while ago, I got a CLEAR dots photo and it didnt count

[zinc coyote]

Photo system has always been kinda jank
