phasmo-chat

[iron herald]

Or proximity chat i guess

I havent played, only seen clips

[wise oyster]

Yeah both proximity and global/radio chat

[clear apex]

hello

[iron herald]

Thanks dude

[wise oyster]

Yeah np, enjoy the game. Also the LFG channels here ⬇️ tend to be better for finding quality groups if you don't have much luck in the publics.

[prime elk]

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

[iron herald]

Ill give it a shot when i finally get the game thanks again for help

[inland plover]

Who watches warpedcrayfish?

[raven bobcat]

Phas ain’t gonna be on the quest 3

[smoky summit]

Hi guys, how are ya?

[raven bobcat]

Not to happy when I’m trying to find Phas on quest 3

[smoky summit]

Does anyone think i should play phasmo on my quest 2?

[raven bobcat]

Sure

[lyric oracle]

Saw someone talking about how they play zero evidence, yet also say they’ve caught the “other twin” multiple times with motion sensors ._.

Pushes my idea it’s the most misunderstood ghost lol

[wise oyster]

I think Onryo still wins that prize.

tbh that anecdote sounds like a cheater self-reporting

[lyric oracle]

I think people are just insanely bad at simple instructions XD

[marsh stream]

did yall get the initializing bug?

[south violet]

Nooo the ghost lady is trying to give me a hug heeeelp

[azure pollen]

Anyone having multiplayer issues atm

[candid apex]

is it common for deogen to keep flickering the light when switch is on?

or can any ghost do that

[lyric oracle]

Any ghosts can flicker lights. Sometimes there's a glitch where they do it non-stop.

[candid apex]

ahh I see

cause he was doing it nonstop until i turned the light switch off

good to know

[lyric oracle]

I've seen it happen on individual lights and whole houses lol

[fierce elm]

I have a random question. I hope this is the right place to ask

Almost every hunt or every other hunt, my friend cannot hear me but I can hear him. Our other friends can hear us both.

It’s mainly over the radio that he can’t hear me.

Anyone have this issue or know any fixes?

[analog widget]

[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.

[lyric oracle]

Do you mean mid hunt or after it?

If mid hunt it isn't an issue, it's a feature.

[fierce elm]

Mid hunt. What do you mean it’s a feature? And how do we stop it

[lyric oracle]

The ghost messes up electronics near it, the radio is an electronic, it produces only static, and will attract the ghost like other electronics or voice activity.

You don't stop it, you don't use radio when it's hunting lol

[fierce elm]

My bad. Not mid hunt. Mid game

No matter hunting or not

[cobalt snow]

when will the coming soon come out on the computer

[cobalt onyx]

when its ready

[slim whale]

Soon

[fierce elm]

So basically it’s the entire game. It’s not only during hunts. I misread that

[lyric oracle]

Look at the tech links above ^

[lyric oracle]

Also at the same time as console..

[fair frost]

I unfortunately can't use it at all, my mic doesn't work on my laptop, I have to use the no voice detection feature

[lyric oracle]

RIP, you can still use the radio button as an electronic item tho.

[modern mauve]

It comes down to whether or not you have any kind of internet issues, voice chat goes through to a server, rather than peer-to-peer, so if you or your friend have internet issues, even slightly, voice is the first to go.

[lyric oracle]

"voice is the first to go" sounded omenous af lol

[vivid crater]

everyone except mare

[lyric oracle]

Mare doesn't not flicker lights

They don't turn them on

If they also didn't ever do the atmospheric light flicker they'd be a helluva lot easier to spot.

[vivid crater]

there is the "atmospheric" light flicker and the one that leaves emf

[modern mauve]

It's a lot more sensitive than pure data packets, the it's real time data

[lyric oracle]

What light flicker that leaves emf are you talking about...

[modern mauve]

Not saying that's what they're experiencing, but it's common

[vivid crater]

ghost interaction

[lyric oracle]

Only turning lights on or off...

[vivid crater]

no

[lyric oracle]

That's not a thing

[modern mauve]

I'm fairly sure they were talking about atmospheric rather than turning lights on lol

[atomic leaf]

I noticed this recently but does it actually help in identifying any ghost

[lyric oracle]

They are claiming the ghost can make lights flicker and it's an "interaction"... which doesn't exist.

There's not a "flicker lights" interacton.

[fair frost]

Lights flickering is either an event or hunt to my knowledge

[lyric oracle]

There's also the atmospheric blinking of lights, they flicker.

[vivid crater]

well you can rule out mare, that's it

[atomic leaf]

that’s good to know actually

[lyric oracle]

This is not documented anywhere....

[vestal ferry]

Do i need to sit around a mare and wait for the light flickery now?

damn mares

[vivid crater]

and??

[vivid crater]

keep in mind only one that leaves emf

[lyric oracle]

There's also no mention in the interactions on the wiki for light flickering, so they're suggesting both; There's a whole interacting not documented, and the entire playerbase misunderstood amres.

[atomic leaf]

yup

[fair frost]

Funny thing, when I first played the game I only did Tanglewood (still only do Tanglewood) I tried willow and found voodoo doll, a ghost event happened I got scared and just guess Mare and left, it was a mare

[atomic leaf]

I saw it on brownstone for the first time a few days ago and had no idea they could do that

[vivid crater]

interactions with light switches are more common now since 0.12, so... maybe

keep one light on, other one off lol

[fair frost]

The only time I had an obake I found the UV on the light switch, same thing with when I found a mimic with all of its evidence

[atomic leaf]

there's actually quite a bit of info you won't you be able to find about ghosts because it's not really known

[lyric oracle]

Well this is an easy enough one to test.

Never ever seen emf left from a light flickering.

[atomic leaf]

it's definitely a thing

[lyric oracle]

Why has it never been documented?

[atomic leaf]

no clue

at least it rules out mare

[wise oyster]

Is there any video of flickering that leave EMF?

[atomic leaf]

I can get one

[wise oyster]

That's news to me, too

[lyric oracle]

Wait

I found a single buried line in the wiki

"Making the room's light flicker[note 1]" " This does not always create an EMF reading and will not yield valid photos. The EMF reading is created at the room's light switch."

Why the hell is there a "sometimes this is emf" thing

Now when testing mare need to have an emf superglued to the lightswitch JUST IN CASE.

[wise oyster]

tbh I'll take anything that helps me rule out Mare

[lyric oracle]

Assuming it's a thing, definitely.

If it's a 1 in whatever shot, give it to us, mares smell

[atomic leaf]

posted a clip in #videos

[wise oyster]

Brilliant clip. So this instance rules out Mare?

[lyric oracle]

Oh god.. you had the gym as the ghost room?

[atomic leaf]

seems like it

that's really good info to know for my breaker users

[modern mauve]

Assuming this wasn't something like a Wraith or Phantom that happened to leave EMF there?

[lyric oracle]

Well that is the part that needs confirmation testing, which is the suck part.

[wise oyster]

@vivid crater is this consistent with your understanding?

[vivid crater]

wraith always leaves emf on the floor

[atomic leaf]

it was a myling

[lyric oracle]

The line in the wiki was added April 2024 by StefanBraun, then no one ever talked about it again.

[deep wing]

so if the lights flicker and it leaves emf it's mare?

[wise oyster]

well Justly just showed us a video of it

[atomic leaf]

not a mare

[wise oyster]

it's not (allegedly)

[gloomy imp]

Whenever I play phasmo I do it on a discord server but on ps it says rooms like kitchen nursery and stuff?

Why does it say that?

[lyric oracle]

Yeah I'm just saying that's when it happened, and then was never ever mentioend again lol

[modern mauve]

Cool, just checking

[atomic leaf]

ig no one cared at the time 😭

[lyric oracle]

Now we needs like odds of it happening etc

Or someone could beat up the devs for answers idk

[atomic leaf]

that game was like 30 mins long and that was the only time I remember seeing it

[lyric oracle]

And I've never seen it

Wondering if it's a bug in coding lmao

[atomic leaf]

I will assume it's not all that common 💀

I'll go sit in a game and see how long it takes me to get it

[lyric oracle]

Then with that data you can find a mare and sit there to see if it ever happens 😛 Take some of the load off Harleen lol

It upsets me you can't place the clipboard back on the wall.

[vivid crater]

it's 25% chance if the attempt to interact with light switch succeeded

[atomic leaf]

im cooked

[lyric oracle]

Where you getting that figure?

And do you mean if it flickers there's emf 25% of the time or..?

[vivid crater]

if the light is off, the attempt will be canceled

[wise oyster]

makes sense

[atomic leaf]

will it still try to do it if breaker is off but the light switch is on?

[vivid crater]

both breaker and switch should be on to see that, otherwise ghosts will still try to do it and fail

[atomic leaf]

ahh ok

[bright barn]

When you’re just casually minding your business and trying to get to the van to grab your gear when the front door slams shut. No incense. No cruci. You panic and just hide in the boy’s room on tanglewood.

[lyric oracle]

Shouldn't be home invading then.

[bright barn]

You think easy demon. You go to the van. Your sanity is literally 40%. Jinn.

[wise oyster]

Did you get it right though?

[bright barn]

Yeah. It was a Jinn

[wise oyster]

good job! Yeah that Jinn ability can be nasty

[lyric oracle]

Great fake demons without a monitor

[candid apex]

ahhh I died like 10 seconds after entering the house and thought Im finally unlocking the demon ability achievement.. and it turned out to be thaye 😢

[atomic leaf]

I was in fact cooked

that took almost 20 minutes

[vivid crater]

was there door nearby?

[atomic leaf]

yeah it was in master bedroom on tanglewood

[vivid crater]

~4.7% chance btw

[lyric oracle]

I can see why it’s never talked about lol

[atomic leaf]

😭

[lyric oracle]

Still should be listed in interactions in the wiki page.

Now get emf5 on that, 25% chance after your 4.7% chance :v

[vivid crater]

well it's actually 33% chance for emf 5

[lyric oracle]

…

Are you datamining?

[vivid crater]

no one from the dev team said about 25% chance emf 5

[atomic leaf]

that was info from like years ago

[vivid crater]

25% chance came from one not really smart data miner

[atomic leaf]

😭

[lyric oracle]

Still just says citation needed, would have thought someone would fix it by now lol

Okay I dunno how I wrote just just instead of just says, call a bondulance.

[vivid crater]

oh yeah we def need confirmation from one of the devs, for now we assume it's 1/3

[lyric oracle]

Are they purposefully not giving info to keep the air of mystery..? lol

[atomic leaf]

unfortunately yes

[lyric oracle]

Smh

[misty nymph]

It really is unfortunate tbf...

[vivid crater]

if you ask them, they will answer though

[lyric oracle]

Surely someone has tried

[misty nymph]

Not always, shuee was really good at ignoring you

[vivid crater]

lmfaooo you noticed that

well at least I've got a confirmation for 90 sec yurei then

[atomic leaf]

LMAO

[misty nymph]

Not really, she was really good at ignoring everyone

[lyric oracle]

Withholding information only serves to waste time for people.

[delicate vector]

Anyone else have an issue where you'll be looking at a camera, in another room, and the Goryo just REFUSES to appear in DOTs?

Like, whole game?

[vivid crater]

what's your sanity?

[misty nymph]

Only the rare occurrence of lav streaming and answering was a nice one

[frank plinth]

have you left the house? or anyone in your lobby?

[vivid crater]

goryo in general has less chance to wander + if you have low sanity it's even rarer

[misty nymph]

Because CJ and DK were really unreliable

[delicate vector]

All the way from 100 to 0 I had DOTs and the camera up

[atomic leaf]

are we deadass rn 🥀

[vestal ferry]

Its going to depend on some factors. Like where ghost physically is, vs where dots is and how much coverage you are able to actually see. Plus then if its roaming outside of the room often, is it a crawling ghost so can miss it behind objects ect

[quartz ridge]

hey so is anyone getting a weird ass thing where you physiclly cant get footprints, like i cant do my weekly task because footprints arnt showing up, even in salt, ive goten uv on a door but when it stepped in the salt it didnt show up, it wasnt even a obake either

[vestal ferry]

It needs to continue walking after it steps in the salt.

[misty nymph]

You playing with ghosts that have uv evidence?

[quartz ridge]

yes

[misty nymph]

Then you're just unlucky...

[vivid crater]

prob they made it that way so goryo wouldn't leave fav room most of the time

[quartz ridge]

i mean, out of like 7 times of this happening, specificlly with UV evidence ghosts, i think its a bug

[vestal ferry]

Or a byproduct of it trying to roll for long roams but since it cant, then it doesnt roam. Lower sanity. More chance of long roams. Goyro cant long roam. So its just doing nothing until it rolls the short roam.

[vestal ferry]

You need to hear the footsteps after the first one.

[quartz ridge]

i do...

[vestal ferry]

A ghost can walk onto salt then stop walking.

[lyric oracle]

Is there a rug or other clutter?

[vestal ferry]

And you need to be quick otherwise. You just wont see them in time.

[atomic leaf]

what room is it in?

[lyric oracle]

Dining room in tangle is awful for it iirc

[vivid crater]

lower sanity - lower chance for roams, shuee's info on that isn't accurate

[quartz ridge]

i mean ive even checked when i just hear it walking, uv chance is set to 100 and time is set to max

[atomic leaf]

not sure if it’s still a thing (I don’t play with evidence 💀) but footsteps can be under carpets a lot

[lyric oracle]

It is a heartache

[quartz ridge]

any, but i specificly remember mainly in living room and boys bedroom on tangle

[lyric oracle]

I just want my foot pics

[vestal ferry]

You mean in general?

[raven bobcat]

Imma figure out a way to get phas for VR

[vivid crater]

I am sure activity increases ghost abilities, interactions and events - and that info from her is true, but because of that there is decrease in roams

[misty nymph]

She was wrong on several occasions...

[quartz ridge]

its just on vr...

[lyric oracle]

By buying it and having a vr headset, easy.

[vestal ferry]

I think the footprint weekly needs to be removed tbh. It was fine when all ghosts left em. Now its not.

[quartz ridge]

it has vr support naturally

[raven bobcat]

I’m getting a meta quest 3 and it’s not on there

[vestal ferry]

Its already a vr game.

[misty nymph]

Also, there are still a few errors in ghr I specifically told shuee about and none of them were fixed

[quartz ridge]

connect to your pc..

[lyric oracle]

This is my only issue with the weekly. Still find it funny getting paid for foot pics.

[quartz ridge]

its not standalone but it has pcvr compatibility

[raven bobcat]

I probably will but my PC barely works

[vestal ferry]

Its a vr game on steam and playstation. It doesnt have a stand alone quest version

[raven bobcat]

I got a Xbox

[quartz ridge]

dang, whachu running, it dont take much?

[raven bobcat]

Oh man it sucks but a GX580 or something like that

[lyric oracle]

If your pc barely works, I don’t fancy your chances of any vr games tbh.

[quartz ridge]

im on a 1660 and ryzen 5 2600 and it runs fine

oh dang

[raven bobcat]

Ok

[lyric oracle]

There’s checking tools out there that will tell you if you can run things.

[raven bobcat]

My GPU is 14 years old

[lyric oracle]

I don’t fancy your chances then lol

[quartz ridge]

yeah that has no chance at pcvr

[vestal ferry]

Yeah. I mean. More things to roll. Means less likely to roll the one thing i guess.

[lyric oracle]

Pfft just get more dice.

[vestal ferry]

A gtx580 is hella old.
An rx580 would be fine though.

[raven bobcat]

I got the GTX580

[quartz ridge]

i really want phas to add standalone compatibility tho, its not a preformance heavy game so a standalone can handle it, i feel like a quest 2 could even do it

[vestal ferry]

How are you running any games tbh

[raven bobcat]

Idk, it can barely run GTA surprising

[quartz ridge]

im surprised it even can run gta

[raven bobcat]

Agreed

[vestal ferry]

They wont. Quest runs on mobile chips. Its like trying to get it to run on your phone. Just wont be happening

[lyric oracle]

Apparently gtx wasn’t vr capable til 970.

[raven bobcat]

Dang

I wonder if I can run it through my Xbox possibly

[vestal ferry]

"Vr capable"
Marketing. Thats all that shit is. Imma be real.

[quartz ridge]

you need a upgrade bro, even a GTX 1660 super as i have is amazing, runs near anything on mid-high graphics wit no issue

[raven bobcat]

I got a good Xbox

[vestal ferry]

no. Xbox doesnt have vr support

[raven bobcat]

Dang

[lyric oracle]

It can run quite a lot standalone, optimisation may be an issue lol

[vestal ferry]

Yeah. Runs em all pretty low quality

[lyric oracle]

I’ve not noticed it being low quality tbh. Also not played in ages or tried to spot it lol.

When we getting the black mirror vr tech instead

[quartz ridge]

thats why theyd need to port it over, but as far as the games graphics and general preformance, a quest 2 or 3 could handle it, which have better processing units than a phone

[lyric oracle]

The VR playing has so many weird differences to flat screen too, it borders on being a different game lol

I need to get the will to bother again soon. Unfortunately today I cannot be bothered doing anything at all, I cri.

[quartz ridge]

they have vr compatibility tho, thats not a problem

[lyric oracle]

Yes I know, I’m saying I need to bother with it again soon. Been ages.

[zinc coyote]

[lyric oracle]

Idk if they changed any of it, I remember having an extra “slot” due to the other hand lol

[quartz ridge]

its still like that

[lyric oracle]

Glorious.

The manual placement of things is so cool compared too.

[quartz ridge]

i play vr phas sometimes on a 3, having that extra "slot" is good but also annoying cuz to open a door you gotta drop sum

[lyric oracle]

That’s a small price lol

[quartz ridge]

also lighting a smudge is VERY hard

while looping or in a rush specificlly

[lyric oracle]

Also the change to door physics is coming might change that.

[vestal ferry]

Yall keep saying graphics. Thats not the main issue. Well the amount of real time lights is. But its the logics and physics. There is a lot. People with lower end cpus notice this more

[quartz ridge]

id say a 6yo ryzen 5 2600 is a lower end cpu and i run it fine

[lyric oracle]

And I can’t say anything, I don’t understand hardware enough or speak this language 😄

[quartz ridge]

compared to that of now i mean

[vestal ferry]

Its not anywhere close to how bad the cpu on quest is

[lyric oracle]

Says who 😠 you dissing my headset fam!?

[quartz ridge]

its jsut fact....

[vestal ferry]

And the fact its a all in one processor/gpu on quest is the problem.

[cold brook]

phas runs fine on my dual core i3 lmfao

[lyric oracle]

Oh son of a…

[quartz ridge]

idk that cpu so i dont got a idea of preformance scale to mine

[vestal ferry]

And for physics and cpu intense things, youre looking more at the single core/thread performance.

[quartz ridge]

your getting out of my knowledge of hardware lol

[vestal ferry]

Plus. Im not sure how kindly people would be about the devs not pumping out updates for another year to just make a quest standalone, possibly being a fully seperate branch due to how much change would have to occur

[lyric oracle]

Harleen is like the Mariana Trench, super deep and kinda scary.

[quartz ridge]

all i know, is with even minor optimization, i feel it could totally be possible, and i was jsut about to mention, the reason they havnt and prolly wont, is due to the playerbase, is it really a worth the marketing they could/couldnt get by adding standalone support compared to the amont of updates they'll be able to release in the future

[lyric oracle]

I reckon they might eventually consider it, but agree they should not be focusing it at all rn. Hell look at the angy people from the console addition lol

[quartz ridge]

its mainly a matter of, is it worth it because thats more time for updates, more money spent, and the vr community just isint that big and profitable right now

[lyric oracle]

Idk if the “right now” will change either. Some were acting as if it was the be all end all future of gaming, but it’s absolutely not.

Like if we eventually get complete full immersion vr, that better still include being able to play a flat screen platformer etc lol. They aren’t a dead art.

[quartz ridge]

i mean, vr is only getting bigger as of now, since the quest 3 released at that, and becuase of the cost being almost if not as much as console, like console players, vr players are ususally willing to pay more for games, that why gta 6 is only going on console at launch, its more profitable becuase they'll spend more money

[lyric oracle]

😦 Business before art.

[quartz ridge]

but as of now the playerbase isnt large enough that the work that will go into it would pay off efficiently allowing them to work on 3 platforms, pc console and vr

[vestal ferry]

I swear the qna had the quest question at one point heck

[vestal ferry]

Not only this, but most players doing quest standalone will be under 18. And putting an M rated game on the store may not be the best.

[quartz ridge]

think about it, to make a game costs time and work, the way to ease that is more devs, more devs is more money, but more platforms means more to work on it absolute total which makes the game playerbase update hungry, that causes allot of stress to push updates

[vestal ferry]

Like other companies will do it cause well. They got the man power. Phasmo doesnt have the man power.

[lyric oracle]

I think the business before art thing is part of the issue of people not understanding why it’s a big deal for the devs to be replacing placeholder stuff.

[quartz ridge]

very true, vr playerbase is between ages 9-16

[modern mauve]

Hiring people also takes time, especially getting the right people, training them up etc

[quartz ridge]

absolutley

[lyric oracle]

That’s less of the case with the massive companies, greed is a big factor.

[quartz ridge]

also then having the equipent and place for these people to work

[lyric oracle]

Horse Armour. That is all. Lol.

[vestal ferry]

I mean. Resident evil4 VR is neat. But its a ps2 port of a game to quest and also capcom. They had the man power to do it.
Phasmo just wont cause of the indie size and such.

[lyric oracle]

Zombies go splat.

[quartz ridge]

i have a feeling they will when the vr platform is larger, more profitable and not just a young playerbase

[lyric oracle]

I just remembered I have that on VR, someone cure my mental illnesses please 😦

[modern mauve]

So, I fully get why Kinetic aren't gonna be spending time to make a standalone version of Phas. Besides, console by itself drained a lot of time because of the lack of manpower (at the time), only two programmers (1.5 cuz DK was also doing his CEO duties). I'd rather us get across the 1.0 release finish line with all of the core elements in place.

[lyric oracle]

What is the team size now?

[modern mauve]

26 people

[wise oyster]

I thought it was 24?

[modern mauve]

Including the likes of Finance people and such

[lyric oracle]

I know he put it off for a long time before it sunk in the attention and level of work.

[wise oyster]

eiher way, I know they're aiming for a total of 30

[quartz ridge]

and when vr hardware is just better and as bourbon said, when the actual game of phas is past a "complete" state

[modern mauve]

And people who don't actively work on the game itself

[lyric oracle]

Red tape tangling up everything lol

[modern mauve]

They have 6 programmers + Lav + DK

[vestal ferry]

Got lore being made. Marketing people now. Phasmo has grown so much so quick. So proud of them

[wise oyster]

and access to help from Unity

[modern mauve]

That too, yep

[lyric oracle]

The power of embracing scale, thankfully.

[vestal ferry]

At least they did. Not sure if unity is still helping. Or if it was just a temp thing to get phasmo onto console

[lyric oracle]

There’s an alternate reality he continued to refuse a team, that’s a dark place.

[vestal ferry]

It wasnt a refusal. It was a learning process of making a business.

Lots of legal shit to do.

[lyric oracle]

I believe he said he didn’t want a team because it was his love project.

[modern mauve]

Especially for a man who was (at the time) treating the game as a passion project

[lyric oracle]

No touchies to my baby.

[lyric oracle]

Yeah this thing

[modern mauve]

Ultimately, we don't have to worry about that, as far as I'm concerned, bringing Lav and CJ on board was the best thing he did for the game

We saw huge changes in 2021

[lyric oracle]

Absolutely, I’m glad he made the right choice.

Until there’s some scandal with a team member and we lose time to apology posts etc :v

[vestal ferry]

Its been in development for a lot longer than we know. Which is neat. Passion project turned into this. But yeah. He wanted to stay small team until phasmo was done. Cause well. Understandable. But then the fire occured. Things were sorta forced. And now they have their own building which means. Why not hire more to occupy the empty space.

[vestal ferry]

Already done and past

[lyric oracle]

Ffs for real? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[vestal ferry]

It wasnt a big deal. Probs find something on it somewhere.

[lyric oracle]

It was only half a joke cause humans gonna be human, but come on now lol

[modern mauve]

Lotta stuff that gets blown out of proportion and lack of nuance

[quartz ridge]

so im on the phas steam page and i js seen the vr video they have, it looks so much better then reality lol

[vestal ferry]

That was before game came out in 2020.

[lyric oracle]

Lmao

[vestal ferry]

So much has changed. Lighting has changed ect. Equipement. Ghost types. All that

[quartz ridge]

looked better back then-then ngl

[lyric oracle]

Luckily not as blatant as pre baked videos being pushed as game build previews.

[vestal ferry]

Like he paid for that video. Made it all. Then dirty water was scrapped as evidence

[modern mauve]

It was also a lot more resource hungry back then

[quartz ridge]

i bet

[lyric oracle]

I love the dirty water thing XD

[vestal ferry]

Its why they say Wraith cause of the dirty water in the video btw

[quartz ridge]

there like, actual proper bloom and stuff when the flashlight hits reflective stuff that doesnt happen in current game

[modern mauve]

Dunno why they still have that video up on the page tbh

[quartz ridge]

i wish there was a way to make my game look this good now, even if i was at 20fps

[lyric oracle]

They could have kept it and had a water bottle item, also freezes for freezing blah blah by yeah glad they also removed it being an objective ffs lol

[vestal ferry]

Yeah i wish there was a toggle to go back to that kind of lighting tbh.

[quartz ridge]

the hand an emf did look worse tho, but the rest is just amazing

i like the spirit box with the blue instead of orange too

[vestal ferry]

Well evidence back then also wasnt done by the ghost. It was already in building. Wall scratches for rev was thing.
But he scrapped that and made it so ghost did the evidence and removed dirty water and wall scratches as evidence

[lyric oracle]

It’s still undergoing visual transformation, let them cook.

[lyric oracle]

I can’t remember when I get into it.

[quartz ridge]

i think horror 2.0 will bring better graphics right?

[vestal ferry]

This was all before game released. He used to stream him making the game on his twitch

[lyric oracle]

Was the wall scratches out there as a public thing… okay

[modern mauve]

Not necessarily

[quartz ridge]

dang

[lyric oracle]

I mean, not zombies seems better lol

[quartz ridge]

will horror 2.0 be the next update or will we get sum in the meantime, aside from events i mean

[modern mauve]

Horror 2.0 is like 3 major updates away

[quartz ridge]

ohhh ok

[modern mauve]

Planned for 2026

[lyric oracle]

The next is Chronicle

[prime elk]

The Phasmophobia Development Roadmap can be seen below, or by following this link.

2025-Beyond Roadmap • Run -trello for Phasmophobia's Trello Board

[quartz ridge]

oh heck yeah, i ddnt know that was a thing

[modern mauve]

-trello for more close up on what they're working on

[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.

[modern mauve]

Chronicle stuff is all in testing rn

[quartz ridge]

bet

what chronicle stuff?

[modern mauve]

Media rework

[quartz ridge]

oooohhhhh

[modern mauve]

Photo system overhaul into video, sound and new photo system

[lyric oracle]

Everything is to be taken with grains of t3 salt. Expect nothing and be happy when it happens lol.

[vestal ferry]

Ooo so much in the closed beta now

[modern mauve]

We are very close

providing things don't go wrong

[vestal ferry]

Btw. You can look at completed list to see all the stuff i was talking about lol. Its way down on that list

[lyric oracle]

It’s the dawning of the age of the aquarium.

RIP jokes of “it threw this bro trust me”

Though there was an easy workaround to that, I’m excited to see what happens instead.

[modern mauve]

As long as the media stuff goes back into the multiplier, I'll be satisfied

[lyric oracle]

Idk if it will, with custom being so borkened already.

[vestal ferry]

I just wanna perfect game everytime

[lyric oracle]

Warm fuzzy feeling. They should put a little well done sticker on it when you do :,3

[modern mauve]

I want perfect game trophies

[lyric oracle]

And badge and clothes

The game makes no mention internally about perfect games existing rn does it?

Beyond the weekly requiring it I suppose.

[vestal ferry]

Just when you do get it.

[lyric oracle]

Yeah feels like an oversight, not at blatant as the dots in training though lol

[quartz ridge]

HECK YEAH, VR INSENCE INTERACTION IS GETTING IMPROVED

[lyric oracle]

My mans is excited

[quartz ridge]

thats my only thing i cant stand rn, the vr insence is SO SO SO BAD, I CANT DO IT

[lyric oracle]

I’ve not played vr since the change to the lighter, what happened with that?

[wise oyster]

I'm thinking bigger: If they fix it properly, you won't care if it's in the multiplier

[quartz ridge]

ive needed this for SO SOS SO long

[finite latch]

Awww we cant do polls 😦

Would you rather 🅰️ Lose all your progress, and data on phas, or 🅱️ Lose all your memories and have to start learning the game from scratch, but with all your old data and levels? (react with emojies)

[modern mauve]

What do you mean by "fix it properly"?

[lyric oracle]

It’s A every time lol

[wise oyster]

Basically provide a fun, working system and a big Perfect bonus

[lyric oracle]

Van being an enabler lol

[wise oyster]

Sure why not. I'd pick B btw

Being able to play for the first time again

[lyric oracle]

But there’s so much to learn, what if you become one of the silly people?

[modern mauve]

How about both? 😛

[wise oyster]

not out of the question

[lyric oracle]

Delicate balance tho.

[finite latch]

Exactly! Thats exactly why I said it!
would people want to relive there first time in Phas again!

[modern mauve]

Of course

[lyric oracle]

For what levels are worth.

[wise oyster]

yeah the reason they're not in the multiplier now is so people can't go in on Insanity, get the bone and some pics and get 6x rewards for doing nothing with the actual investigation

[vestal ferry]

I just dont want to feel stupid playing perfect games when its not the best way to lvl up

[lyric oracle]

There’s already still a bunch of people using exploits for no danger high multipliers, add in if media added to that..?

[lyric oracle]

Super valid

[wise oyster]

In terms of the rewards, that's all I ask.

[vestal ferry]

We are saying only add them to multi if perfect game.

Then bam. Both ways are valid

[lyric oracle]

I mean… it’s the best way for people who aren’t great at the game still.

I don’t try to rush levels etc, I go for perfects cause I enjoy the loop and investigation etc.

[modern mauve]

The best way to combat that kind of cheesing, is to add the stuff into the multiplier IF you get the ghost right and you take x amount of photos/videos/sounds

So you can't just add it in if you get one or two photos, you have to actually engage with the game

[lyric oracle]

Sounds like how they pay people in jobs based on commission lol

Whose job is it to retrieve gear and clean up salt?

[modern mauve]

The ghost exorcism team I guess

[lyric oracle]

And remove corpses I guess lol

[vestal ferry]

Removal team then cleanup team

[lyric oracle]

You think it’s two teams!?

[modern mauve]

Unless you get the ghost wrong, in which case the exorcists die too

[vestal ferry]

Ghost removal team i should say

Nah no exorcists. Thatd be silly. We are a relocation company silly bourbon

[modern mauve]

"Don't worry guys, it's a Shade" turns out to be a Rev

[lyric oracle]

Weird how they can say if we get it right or wrong, wonder if that’s graded by whether the exorcist died after XD

[vestal ferry]

Where would our infinite money glitch come if we didnt just move the ghosts around

[vestal ferry]

Well they are specialist for that type of ghost we said. So like. Theyd find out

We specialize in identification. Then people specialized in removal of that type of ghost. Then cleanup crew once its safe

[lyric oracle]

I think the exorcism creates a void that sucks in a new entity eventually…. Or we’re in a time loop lol.

[vestal ferry]

Im basing it off company name

[lyric oracle]

I don’t know it :,3

[vestal ferry]

Ghost redistrubution Inc.

Our name is on the ouji board

[lyric oracle]

Uncle Chop’s Ghost Removal Shop

Wait

Why is the company attached to an item confirmed to be cursed?

[vestal ferry]

Thats why my theory is the company sells the cursed items and also the human remains. Probably as toys.
Ghosts show up. We do the stuff. Ghost gets moved. Rinse repeat.

[lyric oracle]

Is that confirmed canon who we work for..?

[vestal ferry]

Yes it is.

[lyric oracle]

Bring on lore updates lol

[vestal ferry]

But also. If we take the truck guy to be for real. Then that means the only cursed object always consistent is the bone.

[lyric oracle]

The truck guy is a dingus.

[vestal ferry]

Which makes sense considering our world lore for ghosts also requires the remains

[lyric oracle]

That reminded me how glad I was they moved the key ffs lol

[vestal ferry]

Ghost summoned via remains. Eventually gets attatched to location. Family leaves to let us do the things. Ghost become super pissy after the first guy came in to confirm a haunting and anger it. Then its removed. Reatatched to bone. Bone is sold to someone.
Rinse repeat for infinite money loop

[lyric oracle]

That’s a loop hole of our purpose tho lol

[vestal ferry]

We go to asylum and highschool and prison to collect brand new ghosts though cause well. We running low. And those places have a lot of trapped ghosts

[vestal ferry]

Our purpose is profit!!!

We makin money

[lyric oracle]

But if it’s a grift, the investigation part feels unimportant, unless there’s sooo many bones we don’t know what’s attached to it lol

[vestal ferry]

Government wont ever step in cause then itd be on record that ghosts are real.

[vestal ferry]

Well. We gotta make the money somehow and keep up the ruse

[lyric oracle]

Also we construct a whole skeleton back at base, is it ghost proof glass, or is the base hella haunted? Lol

[vestal ferry]

Nah we finally contained them correctly. Last place got a little over run

[lyric oracle]

Turns out the ghosts are in on it too, cuts to a clip of the investigator grabbing a coffee in the break room with a couple of ghosts lol

[vestal ferry]

I mean we got a ghost to help with training and just chilling in a room lol

[lyric oracle]

Ghostbusters had Slimer 🤔

[vestal ferry]

Listen listen. We are just employees. We dont need to know all the details. We get paid fat stacks for a single night of work

[lyric oracle]

You ID the training ghost don’t you? Is it a fixed type? Been a while I can’t remember if you even do.

[heavy juniper]

Real😂😂

[gritty dove]

Well the bones themselves aren't the problem

[lyric oracle]

I’m p sure as least one I’ve seen is just leftover kfc tbh

[gritty dove]

It's the bones being used to actively bring the ghost back that's the issue. As long as you let em sleep, the bones really aren't that dangerous to have

[vivid crater]

getting 25-30 dollars per objective is fire

[lyric oracle]

I may track you down some day to bounce lore ideas off if I need input for a thing if you don’t mind lmao.

[vestal ferry]

Short version.
Patient 07 used to be at asylum for years. Was moved to sunny meadows, was tortured in isolation and was there for decades until being killed in some way.
Murder occured at campe maple lodge, dead body under cabin.
We used to be in a garage style place until it was overrun by ghosts.
Our company sells the cursed items and we are only 1 team and a second team comes and collects the ghost after us. Yes. Collect. Not destroy or anything.
Bleasedale is tied to grafton, where the granddaughter tried to prevent the haunting from happening in Bleasedale but didnt succeed. The grandfather got the gun apparently to try and save them. They left some time ago.
Time perception is an illusion for hunters and things seem out of whack due to this, cobwebs next to fresh cups of coffee and stuff.
Lighthouse has seen many hundreds of deaths and the ghosts still linger there, visible under specific conditions.

[vestal ferry]

I mean. For like. 15 minutes of work. We making bank

[lyric oracle]

I mean of a totally different thing, I just like how your brain developed some aspects lol

[vestal ferry]

thats my shortened version

I have some ideas that we have a sub compang or sister company that actually is buying and flipping the houses so new owners are constant

Or just renters. Who knows

[lyric oracle]

I admire your ability to put in effort lol. My mental issues are in awe XD

[vestal ferry]

Lol. I get a little. Obsessed sometimes. Dont worry

[lyric oracle]

“Gonna test this for x hours” My brain “Shiny things”

[vivid crater]

getting a month’s salary in one night 🤑 (need balls of steel)

[vestal ferry]

Getting double my normal months salary in a night. Hell yah!!!

[lyric oracle]

I think the current biggest issue with Phasmo is they need to bring back “E!”

[vestal ferry]

Wonder how much the people are paying if thats our cut

I assume we get like. 30% tbh.

[atomic leaf]

i’ve made 63 million in a year I’m pretty locked in

[lyric oracle]

I reckon we’re getting pennies on the pound lol

[vestal ferry]

Probs ghost insurance in their world considering their holidays

[lyric oracle]

Keep in mind they manage to keep it all hush hush as possible, gotta be expensive.

[vivid crater]

if you die you lose everything

[atomic leaf]

I should just retire 💀

[lyric oracle]

“Oh this house has how many past owners driven out by ghosts!? I’ll take it!”

[vivid crater]

lmaoo imagine you lose your entire progress if you get killed by the ghost

[lyric oracle]

You’re allowed to at9999.

Fair deal 🤷🏼‍♂️

Also if you do manage it it would be like the time the guy walked to the farlands in Minecraft.

[atomic leaf]

I might die from old age IRL before I make it that far

[stoic zealot]

[lyric oracle]

Streamed it, word got out he was close, stream surged, Notch showed up with a big donation. That’ll be you with the levels :p

And THEN you may retire.

[rancid ivy]

Then you come back as a ghost then continue.

[serene magnet]

quick question guys. Any1 else crashing on PC ever since spring event came out? It never crashed for me and now it crashes for me every 20 mins or so. I have high end pc, resintalled drivers, game it self...but i don't see a solution to it

[lyric oracle]

At 0 0 until 20 9999 again lol

[lyric oracle]

The whole chat? The people in it!? WHICH!?

[livid mirage]

the ghosts

[lyric oracle]

They’re working.

[rancid ivy]

I'm feeling awful as usual.

[lyric oracle]

Absolute mood.

[livid mirage]

may you be blessed with deogens

and anyone who's feeling amazing and joyful, may they be blessed with goryos and shy mares and shy yureis

[lyric oracle]

Damn, you can’t use your powers for such spite and evil XD

[eternal yew]

just reached 1K cases🔥

[lyric oracle]

Gz

Assuming you didn’t death rush there ofc lol

[vestal ferry]

Never disclosed

Just "yeah this place is great. Already furnished!!!"

[lyric oracle]

Think of the cover up fees!

“So about that circle in the basement…”

[vestal ferry]

Oh yeah that was previous tenant. 400 less a month to keep it

[lyric oracle]

Damn greed, continuing the scam lol

[wise oyster]

Nice!

I think I'm close to 10k now

[atomic leaf]

I'm almost at 50k ☠️

[prisma laurel]

Only 2500 cases rn

[eternal yew]

and i thought mine was a flex😭

[lyric oracle]

It’s about where you compare it lol.

[vestal ferry]

Mines at 1.6k i think. Since it reset and stuff

[lyric oracle]

I’m at 1k something

[vestal ferry]

Id have to take a look when i get home

[lyric oracle]

I think like 1300-1400 maybe I’ll check later.

[atomic leaf]

i’m on case 46,033

It’s also reset a few times from wiping my pc 😭

[vivid crater]

choose your ghost

[lyric oracle]

Intervention required.

[atomic leaf]

mimic would be most ideal

I can be whatever I want

[lyric oracle]

Unless you don’t control it. Then you’re stuck with mood swings lol.

[atomic leaf]

I'll just wait for my mood to swing to the right one 💀

[lyric oracle]

Waiting for yurei so you can interact with the front door to stop the draft.

[eternal yew]

Chat it just threw a spoon from the bathroom to the other side of the house,i think its a shade what do yall think

(DONT ASK WHY THERE WAS A SPOON AT THE BATHROOM.)

[lyric oracle]

Twins juggling ;3

[eternal yew]

.

ok somebody explain how was it a YUREI.

[lyric oracle]

You just got PRANKED

I’m p sure I could throw a spoon across a house.

I can also slam doors tho.. hmm maybe I’m a Yurei..

[wise oyster]

Ghosts throw things

[junior gull]

lovers bench is the one where monkey paw spawns right?

[eternal yew]

from south america to north?

[wise oyster]

If they're on the Panama border

[lyric oracle]

Did you see the throw?

[eternal yew]

yeaaa

OK I HAVE GOTTEN 3 YUREIS IN A ROW WHAT AM I EYE WITNESSING

[lyric oracle]

Where is the other side of the house in this situation?

[lyric oracle]

Boy, I didn’t understand a word you just said.

[junior gull]

there is no simpler way i can phrase that.

[lyric oracle]

I’ve heard the term lovers bench said before cannot remember at all where it is, so definitely a simpler way lol

[dry tulip]

tried playing alone for the first time, never again

[junior gull]

its in camp woodwind

[junior gull]

what difficulty?

[lyric oracle]

Yes that’s where it spawns.

[dry tulip]

ur gonna laugh

it was amateur

[eternal yew]

omg im gonna kill myself.I HAVE GOTTEN 3 YUREIS IN A ROW,TRIED TO GUESS IT,GOT PHANTOM AND THEN YUREI.IM CURSED.

[junior gull]

there's a reason people say amateur is harder than professional

ghost barely does anything

[dry tulip]

LMAO

[junior gull]

so it ends up being harder

[dry tulip]

exactly you get me

[lyric oracle]

Why you never playing alone again tho lol

[dry tulip]

i saw this girl play on extreme mode alone so i decided to download the game again and play it

but i haven't played it in so long so didn't even know what was where

XD

[lyric oracle]

Well only remedy is to play more not less :p

[dry tulip]

too much of a puss ngl

[lyric oracle]

That also becomes easier :3

[dry tulip]

alright thank you for the boost , i'll try again :p

[lyric oracle]

Some day you may look back and miss the puss days to some degree. Enjoy the whole ride :3

[dry tulip]

hahah i hope so, not promising anything

[zinc coyote]

[junior gull]

I remember when I first picked up this game and I dropped it because of how often I died

Picked it up again after two years (?) and it's more fun now that I know what I'm doing

[dry tulip]

Damn that must’ve been awful

I just remember tagging along with my friend back when i used to play , she would solve which ghost it is

[junior gull]

It's fine lol. I just thought "this game sucks" and stopped playing out of frustration

[dry tulip]

I think many would tbh

[junior gull]

Getting carried can be nice but also boring tbh

[dry tulip]

Nah trust me i was just happy to be there ghost hunting 🙏🏽

[junior gull]

Oh ok that's great then

[lyric oracle]

Pillow Princess of Phas :p

[dry tulip]

Idk if that’s bad or good

[lyric oracle]

Depends on the partner lol

[dry tulip]

I was helping (i think) by baiting myself and dying

[lyric oracle]

Honestly, I don’t mind doing the heavy lifting in an investigation if who I’m with will do literal lifting with gear and can follow instructions.

I’m looking at you point hope 😠

[dry tulip]

So like a minion xD

[lyric oracle]

I guess so XD
If I’m solo I’m doing all the work anyway, if I’m with other decent hunters can make it go quick, if I’m with a newer person most things are reaching moments, all works out lol.

[junior gull]

My friend and I started playing at the same time but he's still a scaredy cat that can't function if I happen to die lol

[dry tulip]

I relate heavily with ur friend

[dry tulip]

Glad there are people like you to help us

[lyric oracle]

Eventually you can laugh at your friends for getting caught :p

I like to go to random low count streams and give advice where it’s needed and wanted. It is a very complex game. Also lets me see where misunderstandings come from.

The journal is a major aspect XD

I think the best advice, before getting comfortable with gear, is like 90% of that book is flavour text XD

[dry tulip]

I was just reading from the journal about what each ghost is weak to, but i realized that they changed the equipment a lot

[lyric oracle]

Like.. in terms of weak to, they mostly hint at tells, but almost none will affect if it wants to kill you lol

[junior gull]

The journal is actually so... 😭

[zinc coyote]

Cheat sheet is a great tool also

[dry tulip]

Oh

[dry tulip]

Theres a cheat sheet?

[lyric oracle]

I think for NEW new players, would be overwhelming.

[odd vale]

Pinned in #fan-creations

[zinc coyote]

Click this to go to cheat sheet

[zinc coyote]

Fair point

All that information can be overwhelming but if you want to really know the ghost its the place to go

[dry tulip]

Looks overwhelming i aint reading allat

[lyric oracle]

Like at the very base level, it’s about comfort of gear, a basic understanding of what will actually kill you etc

[zinc coyote]

It can be a bit much to be fair

[dry tulip]

Its okay I’ll figure it out myself🙏🏽

[topaz star]

just read

[zinc coyote]

I never learned how to read

[lyric oracle]

If you have specific questions, you know where we are 🙂

[topaz star]

not here

[dry tulip]

Yes thank you everyone 😌

[lyric oracle]

“That won’t stop me, I don’t know how to read”

“If those kids could read, they’ve be very offended”

[zinc coyote]

[dry tulip]

Very sorry to hear that…

Must be scary out there

[zinc coyote]

Ill learn one day

[lyric oracle]

My phone is normally in arms reach so I’m chronically “here” unless asleep lol.

[zinc coyote]

Must be all the glowsticks

[dry tulip]

U probably sleep text too if thats a thing xD

[lyric oracle]

Goddamnit who let him get another one?

[topaz star]

after work i can barely hold my phone without falling asleep midday

[zinc coyote]

[lyric oracle]

I occasionally sleep eat, and sleep punch, one time sleep headlock.. that’s enough.

[dry tulip]

Fair enough i can sleep headlock too !

[lyric oracle]

I should probably get a sleep study done XD

[dry tulip]

Oh thank goodness im done with my finals

Good luck to u though 🙏🏽

[summer gull]

hello everyone i have a problem with my phasmo game via steam. as soon as i want to open a multiplayer lobby the connection is disconnected i have no explanation for this. can someone maybe tell me or help me why? i have everything up to date and i didn't get a ban but still i can't play in multiplayer mode. are there any problems in the german speaking area or european area with the servers?

I pinged you forever ago

[vestal rock]

🥀

[heavy patio]

✌️😭

[vestal rock]

its okay it happens

❤️

[heavy patio]

wordle

[dry tulip]

How do i know what ghost it is if nothing is happening

Nevermind

[vestal ferry]

Gotta figure it out via clues

[dry tulip]

Is one clue enough ?

[tidal hawk]

depends what the clue is

[dry tulip]

Emf 5

[tidal hawk]

no, not enough. several ghosts can have emf 5

[dry tulip]

I feel sick just going into the house

[dry tulip]

Fuck ghosts

[tidal hawk]

I assume you're playing on one of the beginner modes? All 3 evidence will eventually show up, just make sure you are in the ghosts fav room and keep checking

[tidal hawk]

relatable

[dry tulip]

Alright

Im playing the amateur mode

Is that beginner?

[tidal hawk]

yeah thats one of the modes with 3 evidence. make sure you know what hiding spot youll run to in case the ghost starts to hunt. otherwise just keep checking all the evidence types

[dry tulip]

Okay there’s some ghost activity going on and I don’t want to go into the house

But i did set everything up in the kitchen

Although the lights keep flickering

[wide rock]

@dry tulip did you play the tutorial?

[dry tulip]

No technically i know how to play its just been a while

[wide rock]

Oh

As long as you have an understanding of what to do in terms of evidence gathering then that's fine

[wise oyster]

Not a bad idea if you never have, and there's an achievement for doing it

[dry tulip]

Fuck me man

[wide rock]

Tutorials aren't fun but phasmos one actually isn't too bad

[dry tulip]

No i can do the tutorial i just hate this eerie feeling im getting

Even though this level is supposed to be a piece of cake

:D

[vestal ferry]

Ghost in light = cant so much
Ghost in dark = can do more
You in light = sanity not drain
You in dark = sanity drain

[lyric oracle]

Technically 1 evidence is enough as even 0 can be enough, but not without knowledge and tests XD

[wide rock]

No smudge = run for your life, you're screwed!

[lyric oracle]

Is that why I’m insane? I never have lights on.

Unless my tv or phone or pc counts 🤔

[dry tulip]

Yeah u probably are

[lyric oracle]

:,3

[dry tulip]

Or u just love being haunted

I have all the lights on checked for orbs

[lyric oracle]

Not happened yet, I’m still here!

[dry tulip]

Don’t get too comfortable buddy…

[lyric oracle]

I’m talking irl for all that lol

[dry tulip]

Oh i thought u meant the game

[lyric oracle]

Having the ghost room lights off allows it to throw, so it might throw the writing book, if so you can cross off writing, can save time.

[vestal ferry]

My suggestion is keeping light on in room outside of its room. You be there. Keep lights off in its room. Go in check things as they happen. Check spirit box. Hold video cam to see dots for goryo or other dots ghosts

Lower your sanity in increments so it is more active but youre still safe from hunts.

[dry tulip]

Good idea ! I’ll try that then i have the notebook in the room where i found activity but we’ll see how it goes

[lyric oracle]

Also you can use the place key for D.O.T.S. pen as well as camera, a lot of people don’t know that and it can makes things easier lol

What tier book?

[dry tulip]

Im lvl 1 so all my things are the same lvl

[cobalt matrix]

Book 5

[lyric oracle]

Also you may have remembered, be sure you place the book not yeet it :p

[lyric oracle]

The noise of it being thrown is super obvious too, one bonus for that tier lol

[cobalt matrix]

You'd think if the ghost had it as evidence they'd just open it up and write in it.

[dry tulip]

I wish it did , it would help my job out a lot 🤣

Plus i can give it a tip

[lyric oracle]

Let’s go with they don’t want you to know, but an opened book is irresistible to them lol

[cobalt matrix]

They have to see if we wrote a message for them first but then they get mad and scribble on the book when they realise we didn't

[lyric oracle]

Is why the book has a range of attraction, it’s blessed or something lol

But it only works if left open. There I gave a fake believable reason for it lol.

[leaden ivy]

so you're telling me I can scribble in a book, take a pic of it, and sell it to paranormal collectors if i claim a ghost did it

[zinc coyote]

yes

[lyric oracle]

Definitely not, you also cannot mess up a salt pile, or put an object on the floor and take a pic, or send them a bone from kfc.

[leaden ivy]

well duh human bones don't look like chicken bones

[lyric oracle]

Do you think the dev got permission from hasbro to use the word Ouija?

[zinc coyote]

hasbro owns the word ouija?

[lyric oracle]

They take a picture of a “moved” object as proof, I don’t think they could tell the difference.

[dry tulip]

I GOT IT

[lyric oracle]

Yes! Lol

[zinc coyote]

huh i never knew that lmao

[leaden ivy]

chicken bones are pretty dang tiny though

[dry tulip]

Omg it was a spirit

[vestal ferry]

Only if you eated the pen

[cobalt matrix]

"Something took over me, and made me write in this book."

[dry tulip]

Nevermind i got it wrong how tf was it a shade

[lyric oracle]

Any time you see a schlocky movie with Ouija in the title they either paid royalties or are risking a suit lol

[leaden ivy]

autopsy simulator aaa vibes

[worthy quail]

do u know what the Devs should do to give Phasmophobia a more scarier experience
Adding Horror Maps to the game (e.g. The Washoe Club in Nevada) but there is more maps the Devs shat take into consideration

[lyric oracle]

How did you imagine spirit box evidence?

[cobalt matrix]

Bro hasn't been to sunny meadows

[dry tulip]

I didn’t use a spirit box..

[lyric oracle]

Suggestion #145642889002

[dry tulip]

I just crossed off what wasn’t there

And it gave me a few options

[lyric oracle]

That’s.. one of the spirit’s evidences..

[worthy quail]

I have but due to time consuming it is i give up on it

[vestal ferry]

I mean. Most of the maps right now will be reworked. And more maps added.

[lyric oracle]

What did you cross off?

[vestal ferry]

Also. Not all places being "spooky" is really scary tbh.

Having places that seem like they are currently lived in feels spooky and unnerving

[dry tulip]

Low temp, UV and i think dots

[lyric oracle]

But.. but it has freezing lol

[dry tulip]

And i just guessed whatever ghost it was

[vestal ferry]

Not really good to cross off dots nor temps

[lyric oracle]

Did you leave the thermo in the room? It’ll update over time, just check it every so often :3

[dry tulip]

I checked it twice across every room

[lyric oracle]

Only the ghost room

[worthy quail]

well we need to boost player limits of Horror is Goatman's Bridge

[dry tulip]

Even the ghost room

[vestal ferry]

They wont do real world locations

[dry tulip]

Oops

[lyric oracle]

Not but like as in you don’t need to check others, and if you leave it in the room it will settle. By taking it into warmer rooms you’ll making it take longer.

[vestal ferry]

Temps being random and determined by ghost only is safe to cross off if its locked at 1C. Otherwise its not safe to do so

[dry tulip]

Anyway im good for today i think i did an amazing job :D

[worthy quail]

why is that then? (dont mind me asking)

[vestal ferry]

Not really. T1 updates quicker than ghost makes it colder.

[odd vale]

The problem with using known haunted places is they are also a business beforehand (like a hospital, etc,) or someone has made a business out of it (like Alcatraz) and then licensing fees come into play.

[lyric oracle]

And this used to be simple before they nerfed t1 thermo

[vestal ferry]

Copyright. Trademarks. Costs money

[dry tulip]

Oh i didn’t know that either

[lyric oracle]

No but if you take it into a warm room, it still needs to then fall from the warm temp the whole way down I mean.

[odd vale]

Probably true

[vestal ferry]

Still is fast.

And itll still stop dropping at some point

[lyric oracle]

Apparently not fast enough :p

[astral marsh]

Can anyone help me lvl up

[prime elk]

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

[lyric oracle]

But now she knows it’s only the ghost room to check it’ll be easier in future.

GI JOOOSSSEEE

[dry tulip]

😟

[lyric oracle]

If you can trap a freezing temps ghost in a small closet like room you get a free walk in freezer 🤔

[wise oyster]

we're gonna need more T3 salt

[leaden ivy]

just set friendly ghost to On and roam/fave room changing to Off

[lyric oracle]

Or infinite monkey paws 🤔

[wise oyster]

A deck full of Hermits

[lyric oracle]

Or get a goryo then just settle for a walk in fridge lol

[lilac ore]

does ghost leave uv if it touches the car?

[lyric oracle]

You know, I swear it used to lol

[lilac ore]

so yes?

[vestal ferry]

No

[lyric oracle]

Did it used to or am I mandelaing that part?

I have a vivid memory from way back of a hand print on the of the windows

[lilac ore]

thank you good individual

[lyric oracle]

There’s no history of it on the wiki and I can’t find the changes history to the page on my phone 😠

So then I’ve either fallen into a universe it never happened, or I dreamed it used to be a thing 🤔

[lilac ore]

[lyric oracle]

I don’t think I’ve dreamed about Phasmo tho lol

[lyric oracle]

What weapon you main..?

[lilac ore]

in mh?

[lyric oracle]

Ye lol

[lilac ore]

GL but i play mostly everything

even LS

[lyric oracle]

When I got into it with friends in World originally Charge Blade, then I think it was the same in Rise, then I revisited Rise and fell in love with SwAxe from the changes it got, revisited World CB again I think, not played much of Rise but was playing mostly Horn, was fun.

SwAxe had interesting stuff with its offset and counter, but when it dropped I was at my bf’s with a terrible physical set up so couldn’t focus very well lol.

[lilac ore]

i love charge blade in world i used to dance with velkhana it was amazing

but then in wilds charge blade looks different and i didn't really enjoy it

[lyric oracle]

Yeah yeah they messed with the order etc

[lilac ore]

the switch axe looks amazing in wilds tho

[lyric oracle]

Must hop back in when my brain says yes it’s okay to do so

[lilac ore]

the explotion is perfect

what did you main in rise i mained hammer

[lyric oracle]

That’s where I fell in love with SwAxe on my return due to the new stuff added with SB.

[lilac ore]

the flying hammo was funny to me in rise

basically free aerial attacks

[south violet]

This game dead or something?

Or is the playerbase just that low?

[lilac ore]

depends on where you are

me and some friends play it often

also find a lot of randoms

[south violet]

I don't think region really plays a key part in the games overall playerbase though.

[sweet vapor]

I play everyday 🤭

[south violet]

It's just wild that I live in the one of the biggest countries in the world if not the biggest and the playerbase seems non existent

[lilac ore]

i mean i always find players looking for other players

[south violet]

I can't stand public ques because the players are either rude, or they dip after joining for some reason.

[lilac ore]

well you need to find a stable group of people to play with

[south violet]

I've had prestige 1 2 and 3s leave after joining even after showing proof on my Xbox account I'm prestige 7 😭

[lilac ore]

good luck finding that

[south violet]

I just don't play on my Xbox anymore I like PlayStation more

[lilac ore]

i play on my playstation

[south violet]

I've tried that, people who do show interest only play 3 or 4 games add me and never hear from them again

And I know it's not me, because I'm hella funny too play with. I will say some goofy random stuff out of nowhere and catch people off guard

[lilac ore]

well

if you say that about you then none plays with you again there's something wrong

[south violet]

Yeah it called the people who did play with me used me or they just aren't good people to begin with

[vestal ferry]

What do you mean? Its usually like 10-30k concurant players a day right? On steam alone

Plus console. And the lobbies shown in game are only public lobbies. Doesnt count private or solo

[south violet]

@vestal ferry that's what I'm getting at, I don't like public lobbies because 9 out of 10 the people are either afk or will purposely use the cursed item right off bat and ruin it for players tryna have fun

[vestal ferry]

Ok. We have the lfg sections here then

[south violet]

I've posted already in there

Maybe it's because nobody likes doing nightmare or something

[vestal ferry]

I dunno. Just how it goes

[lilac ore]

there are people who specifically says don't use cursed objects or at least warn us

[south violet]

I don't have access to customs yet I'm like 12 levels off I'm level 38 rn

I just like hosting because I won't kick people over level and other silly reasons

[lilac ore]

well find good people i guess

[south violet]

I genuinely just wanna meet new people and make friends to play with.

[zinc coyote]

just join people in lfg

[lilac ore]

yeah is just finding the right people to play with

[south violet]

Everytime I've joined in the past, they would kick me before I can even say anything that's why I like hosting

[lilac ore]

yeah that happens a lot

usually with either super low level players or high leve

[vestal ferry]

I mean are you meeting their requirements?

[zinc coyote]

thatll happen to anyone. im xx 256 and still get kicked lol

[south violet]

I don't have superficial requirements other than have a mic and don't complain about the map chosen

[undone kayak]

everytime I join cursor and brightness settings are set to 0, that a bug?

[south violet]

That's the problem with gamers these days, everything is so superficial within the game. You gotta be level 4500 with everything maxed out and you gotta know what the ghost is without leaving the van etc

[zinc coyote]

could be nvida auto changing stuff

[lyric oracle]

Do you have NVidia?

[undone kayak]

yep

[bronze lantern]

How do I reduce joystick sensitivity?

[zinc coyote]

disable it in the nvidia app

[undone kayak]

I didnt have that a week ago

[zinc coyote]

^

[undone kayak]

okay okay thanks guys 👍🏿

[lilac ore]

that's not true i play with low level players and high level players

[lyric oracle]

Mezzo beat me to it 😦

[zinc coyote]

lower your sensitivity

[bronze lantern]

Where?

[lilac ore]

[bronze lantern]

GeForce NOW doesn’t have the options

[lyric oracle]

It’ll be in general game options surely

[south violet]

Okay but you stated you have a consecutive group you run with. So it's easier for you to say that. Someone who's just hanging around in limbo it gets tiring tryna find a group to run with

[zinc coyote]

in game settings

[lilac ore]

i was like you then i found a group

[lyric oracle]

But you’re you :p

[south violet]

Whoever ChellyMarie is from LFG they joined and left so I blocked them on the game

[zinc coyote]

do you have a mic?

[lilac ore]

eliminating players

[south violet]

You know it, I ain't gonna play that crap. I specifically stated in my LFG don't join if you're just gonna leave

Blocked some person named Bread because they didn't have a mic and left

[lyric oracle]

They didn’t state that…

[zinc coyote]

bread doesnt talk, its a food

[south violet]

If I didn't state that in my post, maybe I think of the other day but I know I've stated that before

[lilac ore]

then don't and just play something else

[lyric oracle]

You kinda stated the opposite by saying if the fan bothers them then leave lol. Maybe they wanted to see how bad the fan is.

[lilac ore]

i would join for that

[lyric oracle]

Shouldn’t be an issue with push to talk as much tho.

[south violet]

Does bro know he's blocked?

[zinc coyote]

yeah, cant be too picky

[lyric oracle]

Which bro?

[south violet]

They probably do, but are still attempting to converse with me. Even though they tried humiliating me a few days ago.

[lyric oracle]

🤷🏼‍♂️ explaining a word is humiliation

[odd vale]

Stop

[lyric oracle]

I was trying to help with the lfg situation and get attacked, is sad times out here mezzo 😦

[onyx shard]

Is the mutiplayer server down for you guys too?

[lilac ore]

no

[lyric oracle]

Are you getting a specific error?

[lilac ore]

i'm running rn

[lyric oracle]

What you running from?

[zinc coyote]

me

[onyx shard]

God dammit, Bird hide your glowsticks.

[zinc coyote]

[lilac ore]

[lyric oracle]

Who keeps leaving his cage unlocked?

[lilac ore]

sorry there are too many i can't hold anymore

[lilac ore]

i think that's you

[vestal ferry]

My plan works

[lyric oracle]

Which one?

[onyx shard]

Thanks 🙂

[lyric oracle]

Gl :3

[dark berry]

anyone have local chat not working but radio is?

[lyric oracle]

You should also look in the fix section, idk if it’s covered tho lol

It’s like 50% issues with voice 50% issues with connection I stf lol

I suppose that equates to a good thing that it’s not entirely crumbling 🤔

[vestal ferry]

The bird being let out

[vestal ferry]

See if you have ptt on and correct button. Sounds like the more common issue for this

[lyric oracle]

Not bird’s cage, Grimm’s he’s terrorising the neighbourhood with glowstick eating shenanigans 😦 I think it’s the new janitor doing it.

[lilac ore]

[zinc coyote]

[lyric oracle]

Bird is well training for homing, and doesn’t gobble glowsticks.

[lilac ore]

[vestal ferry]

Im turning the glowsticks into cheese

[lilac ore]

[zinc coyote]

purple cheese is a thing too

[lyric oracle]

I’m turning cheese into cheese on toast, with woustistchesishire sauce. Banging.

[dark berry]

what does the set up timer actually do? just no lethal stuff, or no anything?

[lyric oracle]

No normal hunts.

A cursed object can make it end early so cursed hunts aren’t prevented.

[vestal ferry]

Cant hunt. Cant go below 50% sanity.

Using any cursed item removes the timer immediatly

[lyric oracle]

I didn’t know the sanity thing 🤔

[vestal ferry]

Even says it in training 😄

Oh also slower sanity drain too

[lyric oracle]

I cannot remember training at all, it was my final chieve tho lol

[vestal ferry]

I run through it every update to see if they fixed the boxes on the hunt portion

[lyric oracle]

If they add more they’ll ruin the gem in my crown 😭

[vestal ferry]

They still havent. You can stand fully over there and watch the ghost do its set path each time

[lyric oracle]

Does the orb section still randomly take 5 years?

[vestal ferry]

Doesnt take me long to do any part tbh

[lyric oracle]

Idk wtf it wanted from me, like yes I see the orbs, open door plz

[vestal ferry]

Just plippity ploppy im done and watching the ghost do its hunty.

Its so funny watching the ghost do its walk like its gonna do something

[lyric oracle]

Man, y u buli the company unofficial mascot lol

[vestal ferry]

Cause i can

I like bullying thayes more

[lyric oracle]

Is it the same model each time?

[vestal ferry]

So far yeah. Always the skinny lady with mouth stitches/scars

[lyric oracle]

Interesting..

[vestal ferry]

Brain not remembering her name

[lyric oracle]

Poor trapped forever ghost relegated to training new people 😭
That’s the full name.

[vestal ferry]

Anyway. I should do the test for thaye once again. 10k years old or bust

[lyric oracle]

Tf is a Phasmophobia Soundboard?

[vestal ferry]

A soundboard. With phasmo sounds. I miss the gurgle

The grudge sound gurgle. Honestly a sound i miss from the game

[lyric oracle]

Is this a common enough thing to specify not using it in LFG? Lol

[vestal ferry]

Yup

[lyric oracle]

Smh the dark side of Phasmo lol

[vestal ferry]

People love trolling.

[lyric oracle]

Like I thought maybe something useful like prerecorded phrases etc lol

[bronze lantern]

For paranormal paparazzi you don’t have emf and thermometer?

[ancient rapids]

Can the ghosts fully understand you yet in console?

[lyric oracle]

Correct.

[dark berry]

wish for activity got a single 3 jump and no evidence?

[lyric oracle]

I believe so, they added voice recognition.
