Early progression is painfully slow

[topaz star]

Indeed slow

[wind rover]

[wind rover]

ok ty

[leaden ivy]

I do want to remind you that a new major update is coming out later this month that is going to change how photos/recordings work

so don't get too used to the current system

[wind rover]

ok tyyyyy

[wise oyster]

less than 3 weeks...

[vast crown]

beeeeeeeeek

[icy sandal]

You know how when you go to detailed statistics, what does, “Phrases Recognized” mean?

[vast crown]

when you used spirit box, ouija board, or monkey paw, and it recognized and understood what you said (doesn't mean it has to respond in case of spirit box)

[icy sandal]

Oh okay, ty, just wondering cause I’ve seen it but never knew what it meant

[gaunt marsh]

none of the statements are working for my friend and i with the monkey paw! there is already 4 fingers curled (we haven't said anything before that) is there something we are missing lol

ok nvm we were just stupid

[lapis abyss]

Sorry if this has been asked before, or doesn't go here. But I play on PS5 in North America. For some reason, there was been such an issue trying to play online with anyone on Phasmophobia. I have fiber internet and I can play a multitude of other games just fine online. But like, I continously get issues trying to play online with PS5 and get error messages. Is there some issue with the PS5 servers by chance? The game used to work fine with no issues, but now it's constantly a struggle to get on and play with a friend.

[dry void]

"Kinetic Games also recently revealed the upcoming Chronicle update - a comprehensive overhaul of Phasmophobia’s levelling, rewards, and progression systems coming this June."

Levelling, rewards, and progression systems???

I thought Chronicle was media overhaul! Progression overall sounds like the Ascension update or whatever that added prestige

Unless we're misunderstanding things greatly, but this seems like quite a weird typo

[karmic lodge]

algun latino o puros estados unidences??

[deep crag]

yooo

[pale kernel]

After Ascension, there was additional adjustments to leveling and the rewards multiplier as well, so it would make sense that further adjustments would need to be made alongside the new media overhaul

[karmic lodge]

tu?

SOY U

[pale kernel]

This is an English only server.

[karmic lodge]

soy nuevo XDDD

[deep crag]

si

[karmic lodge]

Yaps are very active

[dry void]

Yes, but why is the chronicle update being described ONLY as a progression overhaul and not a media overhaul

[karmic lodge]

There are usually some infiltrators hahaha

[deep crag]

sorr, but someone know what is the spanish server?

[pale kernel]

It’s not? Take a look at the dev update in #game-announcements

[dry void]

I did

I just quoted it

[pale kernel]

They literally go into detail about the sound recorder and how the new photo system works 🤨

[karmic lodge]

conozco dos peros son un poco inactivo por lo que vi

[dry void]

I mean in the film adaptation thing it says this exact text

I would post a screenshot but i cant

Idk if thats a channel setting or if i have to be higher level or something

[pale kernel]

Look one post above for the dev preview directly from the KG website

[dry void]

No no

I'm wondering what the implications are

[prime elk]

If the film adaptation log says "Kinetic Games also recently revealed the upcoming Chronicle update - a comprehensive overhaul of Phasmophobia’s levelling, rewards, and progression systems coming this June" then does that mean this was drafted when Ascension was the next update? Are we missing something to the chronicle update? Or is this just the silliest brainfart from the devs?

[pale kernel]

No, it makes sense that there would be another adjustment to how progression works because they’re overhauling basically the whole journal

[dry void]

Yes but levelling and rewards are indirect changes

[pale kernel]

Getting the ghost evidence remains the same but all the photos, how you get perfect games, etc are all adjusted because of the sound recorder and media overhaul

[dry void]

The direct changes are the media, so why wouldn't they describe that instead

[pale kernel]

They did. But with such a huge change to how you get money and the “others” of an investigation outside of just ghost type, there has to be adjustments made to how things are calculated to make the media overhaul work.

[dry void]

an update that adds new items and new secondary evidence and overhauls the photos and all of that - surely you can see how describing that update as a "levelling, rewards, progression overhaul" is not exactly the best or most obvious way to describe it

[pale kernel]

But it is. 🤨 You will gain levels differently instead of just stacking 9 salt photos for money/xp, multipliers will be adjusted to take into account the unique v. repeated media aspect.

[dry void]

Are you just refusing to see my point for some reason

[pale kernel]

No, I just think you’re overcomplicating something that’s been described already by KG.

Some of the CCs have pretty good breakdowns of it plus additional info that’s been given by CJ through Terrible Trio streams on Thursdays if you wanna look more at it 🥳

[wise oyster]

in #info

[pale kernel]

Hi Van ❤️

[wise oyster]

Hey there, how you been

[pale kernel]

Surviving, haha. Staring down the baby monitor waiting for him to wake up so I can feed the child. 🫠

[dry void]

I know, I watch them, i'm not exactly asking about the actual update, I'm asking why the description of it in the film adaptation announcement addresses a side effect of the update (progression changes) rather than the actual update (media overhaul)

[wise oyster]

Just generic press talk, it's not for a gaming audience

or at least not exclusively one

[dry void]

Announcing a film about a game on the game devs' website is not for a gaming audience?

What are you guys even saying

[pale kernel]

Not everyone that’s into horror is into horror games. Theres plenty of folks who thought Until Dawn was good but didn’t realize or didn’t care it’s technically a game adaptation

They just saw “ooo monster horror movie”

[wise oyster]

it's a film press release, it's directed to a film business audience

[pale kernel]

Some people just don’t care. There’s lots of people who enjoyed and followed the RE movies but never touched the games - but they like the zombie genre. Same with Silent Hill. Paranormal horror is pretty popular a la the Conjuring universe, so the Phas movie adaptation fits into that film crowd 🥳

[wise oyster]

I'm reading the one for the Warcraft movie and it reads largely the same (though it's quite long)

[pale kernel]

Haha I enjoyed the Warcraft movie despite the amount of people hating on it 😅 one of those guilty pleasure ones for me

[dry void]

Sure but saying grafton is getting a rework and whatever wouldnt matter to the film crowd, and saying levels and rewards and progression is being overhauled instead of saying photos are being overhauled probably wouldnt have any different weight to a film person

[pale kernel]

Eh, it’s a broader and more basic understanding that they would have than the specific details of how you get those levels. It’s more “you do things in video game, get points, level goes up, player stronger, yay” type of view.

It’s like how I have to explain different games to my boomer-generation parents. 😂 It’s suuuuper basic so they get why I may be excited (kind of), but they feel included in the conversation regardless 🥳

[hollow igloo]

👁️👄👁️

for a long time ive finally felt how to be a van princess -

[pale kernel]

Aish!!!

We love this new discovery for you. You watch for those goryo dots and orbs for the entire 15 minute investigation ❤️

[wise oyster]

I thought Ben Foster was flat and miscast. That was honestly my biggest gripe

[pale kernel]

Okay but Khadgar’s actor 10/10

Or maybe I just have a soft spot for over eager naive nerdy types with beards

[wise oyster]

he was good iirc

it's been a long while

[pale kernel]

I like Ben Foster as an actor but I would agree he was a little “My character is obviously bad. Do you see? DO YOU SEE? I AM A VILLAIN”

Now watch me swim in fel goo ❤️

[wise oyster]

the cgi was very good for the time. It could've been better, could've been much worse. Still a 6.7 on IMDb, which really isn't bad

[pale kernel]

I hope for Phas they lean on patient 07 but still have something with the other ghost models as well. Patient 07 wasn’t the only person in Sunny Meadows so it would be cool to see an expanded “what happened” situation

Like maybe Granny ghost was the matron of the female wing, Butcher ghost was the cook, etc.

[wise oyster]

I think the new ghost models will be firmly planted in our minds by the time the movie comes out

[pale kernel]

Ah true true. I didn’t think about that.

Still, other ghost characters would be neat 🥳

[wise oyster]

So we'll also know about whatever lore is added to the game

sure, tons of ways they could go w/ it

[pale kernel]

Someone mentioned before making it a Found Footage style which would be cool. Though the last found footage movie I watched was Cloverfield and it was a little much for my migraines 😭

[wise oyster]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one, it was pretty good

[pale kernel]

I think there was a Chernobyl themed one that came out semi-recently too?

[copper girder]

Guys I’m so serious I just beat Apoc 3 with a revenant 💀

I was terrified the thing was Usain Bolt

[gritty dove]

Congrats

[copper girder]

Thanks :D

[acoustic badge]

well done 🔥

[pale kernel]

Hellooo Minny ❤️

[red moon]

Can a Shade not activate with salt/motion sensor while a player is in the same room?

[vast crown]

it can

it can also whisper

basically it can't do anything that would give you an emf reading if it is in the same room as a player

[red moon]

Sorry ghosts can WHAT

[vast crown]

through the parabolic mic***

[red moon]

ahhhhhhhhh

[vast crown]

that would be awesome lol

put that in horror 2.0

[severe sonnet]

Good Lord TikTok is having a fit blumhouse is doing the adaptation

Then again horror is the easiest genre to hate on so I can’t say I’m surprised

[pale kernel]

Eh it’s TikTok. If someone’s not posting rage bait and engagement farming content, then something is wrong lol

[quick fjord]

Bella the wolf be like

[pale kernel]

“Explain it to me like I’m 5” Nah, you’re a whole adult with access to the internet and hopefully an ounce of critical thought, no one needs to do that mental labor for you 🙃

[gritty dove]

The answer is always simple. Don't watch

No one is forcing you to watch something you don't like. People getting big mad about movies not doing exactly what they want is something I'm getting pretty tired of

[quick fjord]

great idea..........no one is going to follow that sadly

[gritty dove]

I mean if they want to spend their money to hate watch, that's on them

[quick fjord]

fair

[pale kernel]

I don’t watch certain streamers because I don’t like their content or personality. But I’m not going to make a whole multi-part series on why I don’t find CaseOh entertaining. I just don’t tune in and find others I do like.

[quick fjord]

thats the right thing to do

[modern mauve]

Think I will adopt the oldie but goodie "wait til it comes out to judge"

[pale kernel]

It’ll be interesting to see which comes first: horror 2.0 or the movie 😂 I know they said “next year” but it’s been “next year” for like 4 years

Movie turns into horror 2.0 spoilers 👀

[modern mauve]

I'm confident Kinetic will release it next year, they're a more experienced studio now with more staff

[acoustic badge]

That would be amazing

[atomic leaf]

😭

[gritty dove]

I liked FNAF quite a bit so I have faith

Matthew Lillard can do no wrong though

[acoustic badge]

Its a gud one

[modern mauve]

I treat Kinetic like I treat any indie Dev: with a lot more grace than well established studios

[severe sonnet]

Same thing when I see people complain on the subreddit that kinetic is taking too long and they took $10 of their money in 2020 and blah blah blah.

[severe sonnet]

I just post Jeep Shit, lol

[tidal sluice]

Uh... Is it normal for a Demon using its ability to not make any sounds at all?

I was hunted (rip though no achievement) but there was no ghost breathing, groaning, or anything. Just the footsteps. I was so confused until it hit me that it was a hunt after using the incense.

[slim whale]

Sometimes ghosts dont make a sound during a hunt. You will still be able to hear footsteps yeah

But very rare for me

[magic tiger]

Gurgling Hunts are the worse

[junior gull]

anyone else weirdly like the tier 1 emf?

why does enabling a loadout NOT auto buy all the items i need?

[zinc coyote]

[slim whale]

Do it twice

Enable - diable - enable

First one will buy the items, second one will fill them in

[junior gull]

not doing anything

[slim whale]

Do you have enough money?

/ does the loadout have something that you dont have upgraded or unlocked yet?

[junior gull]

i definitely do and no its all stuff i have unlocked

[slim whale]

Thats weird

[junior gull]

i just have to reset the loadout and it works, kinda annoying

[slim whale]

Thats the only issue i have with quick loadouts

[thorn spruce]

As long as u dont die u dont lose any items even if u dont put them back in the truck right?

[slim whale]

Exactly

You lose consumables when you use them (incense, lighter, candle)

Rest you keep as long as you dont die

[bronze lantern]

Ghost don't interact if you don't enter the house for the first time right?

[slim whale]

Investigation starts when you open the front door

so close to a perfect game and then the bone is on the corner of the bed where u cant reach

BRO I JS LIT UP THE SUMMONING CIRCLE W A T3 CRUCI AND IT IMMEDIATELY WENT ON ME

[odd jacinth]

Guys if it says actual UV footprints from the ghost on the board is it ultraviolet?

[modern mauve]

Yes, footprints count as Ultraviolet

[odd jacinth]

Thank you

[odd jacinth]

But footprints on salt though, sorry I didn’t specify

[zinc coyote]

Yes, footprints and disturbed salt are seperate

[modern mauve]

You can only get footprints from salt

[zinc coyote]

^

[odd jacinth]

And they count as ultraviolet

[modern mauve]

Yes

[odd jacinth]

Thank touuu

[cobalt matrix]

no problem

I hate this ghost sm it hasn't done anything except dots and it's changed rooms like twice

[wise oyster]

make sure the light is off in whatever room it's landed in

or you could have a stalker, not necessarily formally changing rooms

[main meadow]

Sounds like wandering not room chang...

Yep

wtf YAG

[modern mauve]

Mezzo, that you?

[odd vale]

[modern mauve]

Wonder how many Phas games I can get done in 30 mins

[wise oyster]

Hook up with @lime token he needs to speedrun to 50

[modern mauve]

[lime token]

Lmao

[modern mauve]

I ain't doing speedruns unfortunately

[wise oyster]

Then 4 games is my guess

unless you're doing random perfects or something,then my guess is 0.5 games

[south violet]

I am cooking rn the last 4 ghost have been correct, 0 extra items

[odd vale]

More than I ever will.

[wise oyster]

Bourbon doing perfect games on Prison vs Mezzo doing NM any% on Tanglewood

[odd vale]

I take at least 20 mins 🤣

[wise oyster]

Ok then maybe that's too much of a handicap. It can take twice that to find the bone on Prison

[odd vale]

Put me in Bleadsdale or PH

[wise oyster]

There ya go

[odd vale]

Timer start upon entrance to location? Or when the truck loads?

[wise oyster]

If it was an "official" speedrun it'd be when you load in

[odd vale]

Okay

-# I do suck lol

[wise oyster]

everyone's at their own place. Like a golf handicap

[odd vale]

Yeah. That’s me pretty much

[copper harbor]

they should add a vs mode where its 4v4, first to guess ghost (nightmare mode, collective vote)

[zinc coyote]

Ranked phas

[slim whale]

They should add a battle royale mode

[wise oyster]

Give us all snowball guns?

[slim whale]

Hi mezzo 🫂

[odd vale]

Hi

[queen dagger]

if the ghost does an event in the room your in it's not a shade right?

[slim whale]

Wrong

A shade can do an event in your room. But not if he is in the same room as you - which can be hard to tell

He cannot do any interaction while in the same room as you BUT he can do interactions in the room that ur in

So eeeh hope you understand that

[cobalt onyx]

Ghosts can interact through walls and stuff, you can use motion sensors to try and keep track of where the spooky guy is

[wise oyster]

More to the point: all ghosts teleport to initiate ghost events. Shade just can't be in the same room when it chooses to do one.

[real plover]

I've been trying to do the lighthouse secret for a bit now

Is there any sort of prerequisites that I'm missing for it to work

[slim whale]

Gimme 10 min. Eating rn. Then ill help

[real plover]

Ight thanks

[slim whale]

But in general: green, blue and red ball into holes - pick up key - take gear from behind the broom upstairs - put in gear into locked closet - ring bell 3 times - light the 3 big lighthouse-light with UV until they turn into big uv light and you see all the ghosts flying around

[real plover]

It's the balls part that won't work

Like I'm throwing them in the order of the paintings and the key won't drop

[slim whale]

Sending a dm 1 sec

[real plover]

Ight all good

[lyric oracle]

Has to be clear weather too doesn’t it?

[wise oyster]

I tagged you in #screenshots with it if you didnt see

[wise oyster]

nah

[lyric oracle]

That was pushed in like every guide I saw 😭 lol

[real plover]

I've got sunrise rn

Is that ok?

[wise oyster]

should be fine

[modern mauve]

They probably say clear just to see things more clearly, but it's not necessary

[past isle]

Here me out with this. Phasmophobia Vs mode, basically one player plays as a ghost and the other is the ghost hunter. The goal of the ghost is to kill the player and the ghost hunters goal is to find the ghost type. The ghost has to through some item is a ghost room of its choosing and has to stay there but the more they drain the sanity the more abilities it gains. The first one to achieve there goals wins

[cobalt onyx]

No

[wise oyster]

Short answer: No

[past isle]

Yes

[wise oyster]

Yeah I just got the key with Sunrise

[modern mauve]

We've heard this idea a billion times already, and it's just not something that fits Phas. Interesting idea, but not really fitting in with the cooperative vibe. Besides, the devs have explicitly shut this kinda idea down

[lavish estuary]

tier 1 spirit box really needs a buff because its genuinely unusable

[wise oyster]

I'd buff T1 thermo first

[modern mauve]

Maybe a slight buff, but it works just fine imo

[wise oyster]

yeah T1 spirit box is serviceable

[lavish estuary]

i could talk to a wall and get.more responses than i get through the spirit box

[lavish estuary]

both at once

[wise oyster]

are you sure your voice rec is working?

[lavish estuary]

yeah

[wise oyster]

maybe put a motion down so you know where the ghost is when you're asking

it's def not as good as its upgrades (ofc) but it works

[south violet]

I FINALLY ESCAPED A REVENATE

[muted wigeon]

Guys hear me out, 1/24 chance right, js guess the ghost, trust

[south violet]

[thorn spruce]

Does using the global push to talk attract ghosts to u if u've got no mic?

[south violet]

Wait actually do oni

[steep pelican]

If you're near it, yes

[lavish estuary]

SILLYYY

[steep pelican]

[muted wigeon]

U right on oni every time

Guys why won’t the monkey paw work for me even if I have my mic on

[lavish estuary]

what are u wishing for

[queen lintel]

I have a question about the new candle interaction: Can the ghost ignite your own candles/lanterns if a player haven't lit them?

[wise oyster]

it's actually quite effective for testing for Yokai

[wise oyster]

no, it cannot interact with player firelights

[lavish estuary]

it can only ignite candles that are part of the map

[queen lintel]

Ok

Just out of curiosity

[lavish estuary]

sillyness is indeed very effective xdd

[steep pelican]

For you to be even more silly

[lavish estuary]

What type of ghost can turn on the breaker

[steep pelican]

Any but the Hantu

[south violet]

K thanks

Statistically some would be.

[lavish estuary]

yurei would definitely be

mimic is the worst ghost to ever ghost GRRRR

thank you kind person

mimic is cool but i cant figure it out on 2ev because i dont have a brain

[topaz star]

Only straw?

[lavish estuary]

and im stuck with tier 1 items grrrrr

[lavish estuary]

only Empy.

[south violet]

whats the best xp method

[topaz star]

0 evidence cww

[high oxide]

I cannot wait until my most common ghost isn’t thaye anymore. It’s been that way for ages

[topaz star]

Mine was changed from polti to thaye

[high oxide]

I know I wasn’t keeping track of my ghosts manually (that would be insane) but I feel like mine has to have changed by now

[topaz star]

Mine hasn't changed in months (polti being my most common ghost) then after I've been on phasmo more often then before and haven't got a polti in days it changed to goryo then after 4 thayes in-a-row and more thayes after that's my most common ghost lol

[high oxide]

Damn I would take thaye over goryo so I suppose that is a better option haha I just wanted a cooler ghost I guess, like wraith

[queen lintel]

I actually haven't checked mine

[wise oyster]

I've just accepted mine will be Twins forever now

unless we get a stats reset option

[queen lintel]

think mine was either spirit or goyoro

[high oxide]

My ghost I’ve died most to hasn’t changed in ages either. Mine is raiju and I haven’t died to a raiju in like a year or something lol

[tropic frost]

my most common isnt yokai, ill tell you that much
dont remember the last time i got one

[wise oyster]

I started doing some harder challenges and Mare overtook Thaye again

[high oxide]

And I even took a screenshot of my stats before playing a few more rounds just to make sure it was updating. It is, so idk how many times raiju killed me in the past but ugh

[queen lintel]

nvm, my most common ghost had been yurei for a long time

[wise oyster]

Raiju was mine for a while too. It's nasty for newer players doing evidence games since all 3 of its evidence items speed it up and give it a chance to hunt early.

[queen lintel]

and it's still yurei

My most death and had been for a very very long time is the demon

[high oxide]

Yeah, and I can’t actually care about my stats but I sometimes just take a peek and I’ve just been passively wondering when it’ll swap haha

But you’re right about newer players

[slim whale]

Hey polar 🫂

[queen lintel]

I know that I have 1 goal I want to get to before the chronic update: get the sunny meadow badge

[south violet]

I got freezing temps and uv and it was either a jinn or demon, IT WAS SOMEHOW A HANTU

[wise oyster]

Same, I love pouring over the meaningless numbers that I've skewed by hundreds of unorthodox games

[slim whale]

Guess no uv

[high oxide]

Welp, you have a bit of time still, get on it!

[south violet]

I saw the uv and took a photo 💔🥀

[queen lintel]

I'm actuall pretty close to getting that badge

I would also say to get the apoc challenges knocked out; but that'll take me ages to do because of a major downfall I have and that's my hearing

[high oxide]

Sorry, that’s what I thought you meant! I thought you meant apoc. I suppose you could always stream it for someone in discord and get assistance that way if you’re hearing impaired

[queen lintel]

that's what I was about to say; I would be needing someone that's an expert because I play a lot of basic professional games by myself unless I have a reason not to

[wise oyster]

tbh I'd expect Apoc to get slightly easier after Chronicle. No more Interaction or Disturbed Salt stealing your ghost photo.

[high oxide]

I did mine before the Ascension update in order, so bronze, silver, gold, and that helped me immensely honestly. I definitely wasn’t ready for gold when I started going for bronze, but by the time I beat silver, I was ready

[queen lintel]

you have to remember, ghost photo is required for the apoc challenge

[wise oyster]

Yeah that's why I said that

[modern mauve]

You can put salt on the floor, take a photo of the ghost and not have to worry about the priority system is what Vand is saying

[queen lintel]

I was doing bronze, but I just gotten annoyed because I kept getting boring ghosts, bad objectives, or terrible ghost rooms

I refuse to do hunting objectives unless it's a deo

[wise oyster]

those are the easiest with any ghost though

Repel/Cleanse/Escape/Photo are all perfect objectives

[queen lintel]

I have a slow reaction, so repel and escape would be difficult for me

[wise oyster]

How do you plan on getting the ghost photo then?

[queen lintel]

I can do cleanse and photos outside of hunts

deos I can do all of them during a hunt because they're easy to deal with during a hunt

I honestly never tried to get a photo of a deo during a hunt

[wise oyster]

It's stupid easy

[queen lintel]

I know, but I just don't for safety if my mouse decides to act up or I do a misclick on my key board because I'm playing on a laptop

I have to check to see what my bronze settings are

[modern echo]

I just started trying 10x cww runs and my first one I get mimic orbs and leave before opening the gate. 2nd one, hunt was one of the not easy to detect on a hunt ghosts so I just leave and it was spirit (never changed my guess). I thought this is pretty easy. It went downhill from there.

[queen lintel]

I just posted a screenshot of my bronze settins in the screenshots

[south violet]

Ima try apocalyptic 3

(Haven't even tried apocalyptic 1)

[wise oyster]

usually CWW is 11.47x or higher if you're doing 1-hunts?

[queen lintel]

my bronze trophy is basically professional settings, except it's no evidence

[modern echo]

Well I need light so I'm playing with breaker on and sprints for now until I get the hang of it

[wise oyster]

It is quite dark. I turn on my gamma filter when the breaker is off

[modern echo]

I'm playing on Xbox and tried yesterday to get the light manageable with breaker off but can't quite get there yet. I'd like to get a look at the ghost before it's 3 steps from my face

[solemn stream]

i don't understand what "room browser improvements" means, can anyone explain?

[rancid ivy]

Lobby browser improvements

Should hopefully make lobbies more organized and hopefully give us a toggle between public & private.

[wise oyster]

It has details in the work item

"More filters such as new players, experienced players, VR/Non-VR
Show map selection in browser
Show difficulty multiplier in browser"

[solemn stream]

i didn't know you could click the boxes 🤦‍♀️

[wise oyster]

oh yeah, good stuff in there

[solemn stream]

thanks for helping my brain do brain stuff 😅

[jovial hornet]

any ghost hunters?

[fringe depot]

Harry Price was pretty good

[jovial hornet]

huh-?

[slim whale]

Probably the lobby search

Rn you can only see the amout of players in the lobbies, if uts custom or not and the hosts player name

Would guess they make that you can see more option/ better filters or smt

[jovial hornet]

omg sent this in the wrong chat sorry im so tird

[slim whale]

Adding lobby names, changing amount of players while the lobby is active and so on

[rancid ivy]

I hope the servers can toggle between private and public too

[slim whale]

Yeah all that

[wise oyster]

What they really need is a way to swap between Public/Private lobbies, but the trello item doesn't seem to suggest that they're doing that.

[vast crown]

current updates will be the ability to see what map is selected on each lobby, what multiplier it's set to, and new tags for filtering

i think changing settings mid-lobby will probably require the networking rework to be completed but who knows

[solemn stream]

thank youuuu. english isn't my first language and i'm tech illiterate so this helped a lot 😄

[slim whale]

What language do u speak?

[wise oyster]

you know what, you're right.

[solemn stream]

norwegian

[slim whale]

Ew okay

[solemn stream]

🥹

[modern mauve]

Hoping the networking rework will improve a bunch of things

At least in the backend

[vast crown]

it should enable a lot of potential qol features for sure

[solemn stream]

excited for when i can delete all the screenshots of player names and just add them in-game

[vast crown]

yeah rn we just add each other on discord

but i really need to do a discord/steam cleanup, ideally just use the in-game friends list from then once it releases

[zinc coyote]

Would be nice to have a way to add players on different platforms

[wise oyster]

Q4 target

[wise oyster]

looks like we'll be able to, "cross platform friends list"

[idle rapids]

Do you need to pay for consumable items even if you dont take them out of the truck?

[slim whale]

No. Only if you use them

[idle rapids]

What about if you part use it

[slim whale]

Then yes

[idle rapids]

okay thanks for the help

[zinc coyote]

oh nice

[prisma laurel]

able to invite players into the lobby when u friend them would be very good

[zinc coyote]

ye ive met some cool people on console before, gonna be nice to add them

[vast crown]

should be possible with the networking rework, since you'll be able to reconnect to the lobby if you disconnect

imagine that, making a private lobby for LFG and being able to start early and have people join mid-game via code

[prisma laurel]

I was more into inviting the players when u have them friended so that u dont need to tell them the code to join sort of thing

[vast crown]

yeah that too

there wouldn't really be any difference

[zinc coyote]

Ive met quite a few console players who dont even use discord

[vast crown]

their loss i guess

[lime token]

Leveling up before customs is unbearable

[zinc coyote]

[vast crown]

if you aren't there by the time i'm off work we can grind some 14x lol

you'd probs be like 75 by the time i get off actually lmao

[lime token]

To be honest, I am actually going to accept that offer lmao

[vast crown]

dope

[lime token]

@ me when you wanna run some games

[vast crown]

sounds good

i will probs be off in ~3-4 hours, work been slower lately and can get away with logging off a bit early. left the office at 3:30 yesterday because of the tornado watch. security made an announcement that my county was under watch, told everyone to go to lower level, nobody did anything, then seconds later, all the alarms start going off and everyone stands up at once lmao

[robust zealot]

YOOOOOOO imagine a map based on an old arcade almost like an old fnaf restraunt or an old chuck e cheese with the ghosts bro thatll be insane

random game machines just randomly turn on

stage music turns on randomly, lights turn off from the arcade

thatll be a huge map and a scary map dude

[solemn stream]

gonna be searching for ghosts in a 2005 burgerking ballpit

[robust zealot]

imagine a poltergeist throwing balls around like a 9 yr old

xd

but that would rly be a good map tbh

[signal lotus]

that would be sick

[robust zealot]

they need to read that message and think about it fr

[signal lotus]

ye

[vast crown]

door sounds should be louder and more "slammy" when ghost touches them, especially polty. imagine tanglewood kitchen, polty uses ability and all the cabinets and shit slam open super loud

[robust zealot]

i had a ghost who was obsessed with the doors

every single second the door gets touched

it was the twins btw

[solemn stream]

door fetish?

[modern echo]

I'm terrified of the animatronics at those places still let alone ghosts making them move

[robust zealot]

and that is why it would be an amazing map

even if there are no animatronics

[timid stag]

anyone wanna play?

Now Ive got things I can write 😠 lol

[robust zealot]

i still have my phas gold trophy to this day

from that one apocalypse or whatever it was

[slim whale]

Nice

[desert chasm]

One thing I wish phasmo phobia had was the option to pay for the weekly challenge supplies to get the correct multiplier

[slim whale]

I mean its supposed to be a challenge. Thats why you dont have full tier 3 loadouts

[desert chasm]

Oh I was thinking just paying for the tier it already has

No choice

[slim whale]

Mmm why would you want to be able to do that then?

I would be mostly just a 2-3x mult

[desert chasm]

There's one that's like 12x

[slim whale]

Yeah the apoc one with sprint. But just do custom if you need those

[desert chasm]

I want progress to progress the weekly

[leaden ivy]

The god-tier "guess spirit and leave immediately" strategy works, i'm telling ya

[desert chasm]

Stats

[slim whale]

Do u need help on the weekly? Orrr

[desert chasm]

Nah

[leaden ivy]

aren't half the stats broken as-is anyway

and the rest, i mean why care

[wintry prawn]

hey chat

[warped shell]

what ghost could it be if it changes the way its walking bcs it was walking then it was crawling i think its an obake but i just want to make sure

[wintry prawn]

obake

[warped shell]

ok tysm

[desert chasm]

Walking to crawling doesn't mean obake I think

[slim whale]

On different hunts? Can be any ghost. If its during one hunt obake

[leaden ivy]

it depends. if it was one frame, it's obake

It can change how it moves on different hunts in which case it could be any ghost

[wintry prawn]

i assumed it was a hunt tho

[desert chasm]

Did it instantly go back to walking

[merry sail]

who wanna plaqy i just got it aand never played

[wintry prawn]

if it's one frame then yeah obake

sorry what?

[leaden ivy]

pointing out how you made an assumption and gave wrong info

[wintry prawn]

aah i see

next time i'll just shut my mouth

[desert chasm]

I don't think an obake can even switch to crawling special

[wintry prawn]

sorry

[desert chasm]

It can go from crawling to normal but not the other way around

[main meadow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/758746972898459648/1304932686485258391/obake.gif

[leaden ivy]

that's a meme template waiting to happen...just replace the "ghost shifts" with rick astley or something

[lyric oracle]

Are they different models? Thought they were just poses. Maybe the reset to walking is a bug.

Like if it’s a pose state for the model chosen, the swap resets the pose state to walking .-.

[leaden ivy]

It's a different model entirely for obake

[desert chasm]

I haven't tested that myself but this is how I interpreted a line in the cheat sheet

[junior gull]

does anyone have advice for leveling up quickly? i'm doing no ev 10x but the annoying ghosts tend to waste my time a lot

[lyric oracle]

The crawl?

If so it should be able to go into it since it cycles models.

[slim whale]

Leave if you cant get it after 1 or 2 hunts

[desert chasm]

I don't have image perms and #screenshots is for game screenshots

[leaden ivy]

if an obake starts crawling it can shapeshift into walking for a blink and vice versa, I'm pretty sure

[junior gull]

that's what i was thinking i should do. thanks!

[leaden ivy]

you should be able to get up to x12 or so on CWW, but if you can't figure out a ghost fast just leave and reset

[slim whale]

Im usually running 10.2 on tangle. More chill for me

[desert chasm]

If it's an annoying ghost and it always hunts from the same spot it's a goryo

If it takes awhile to hunt it's a shade or an onryo

If none of the above leave

[lyric oracle]

People obsessed with high numbers 😭 Why can’t we be a normal family.

[junior gull]

i just want my P5 id card man

looks so fire

[lyric oracle]

I like the icon too

Use competionist card

[wise oyster]

P15 then

[lyric oracle]

I don’t know what any look like 😭

[wise oyster]

11-20 are the same as 1-10 but they have the foil effect and animated badges

[lyric oracle]

Ooh yeah just looked it up, fire.

Today i learned lol

Was something I never looked at before lol

[wise oyster]

I wish more had the properly animated badges. It's nice that the higher prestiges have them, but it'd be nice on stuff like Apoc 3 and Completionist at least

[junior gull]

they should make it so you have a 4th inventory slot at p10 or something

maybe p5 actually

[lyric oracle]

No

[junior gull]

yesss

[lyric oracle]

Any time anyone suggests changing player stats etc; No.

[wise oyster]

I'm fine with them not changing gameplay stuff like that for Prestige (and an extra item would be MASSIVE)

[lyric oracle]

We got a lighter pocket, be glad.

[pale kernel]

Use a headlamp/headgear and boom, you can carry 3 evidence items + lighter.

[wise oyster]

but I would still like more motivation to prestige. I hope they follow through with unlocking customizations via prestige, and I still really want more custom slots

[pale kernel]

No need for a 4th slot

[junior gull]

having a 4th item slot isn't game breaking tho

[wise oyster]

that alone was big

[lyric oracle]

Kinda is lol

[wise oyster]

it's not "breaking" per se, but it's unbalancing. Plus the prestige system shouldn't be mandatory to get such a big advantage in the game

[crude thistle]

easier set up is game breaking?

[lyric oracle]

Yes..?

[wise oyster]

If you got an extra item at P10, it would feel mandatory, and you would see people getting kicked b/c they can't carry as many items as others

[lyric oracle]

What you can carry is one of the few controlled restrictions on the player. It already gets easier as you play more, benefiting even more would just fart noise

[junior gull]

all it does is reduce the annoying trek from van to house. not like it reduces skill expression or anything

[crude thistle]

fr like holding a torch isnt gonna let you insta guess a ghost

[zinc coyote]

3 items is more than enough tbh

[lyric oracle]

The set up thing is the same as people asking for infinite sprint outside of hunts; it’s when sanity drain happens, events and abilities can hit etc, minimising that time minimises that risk.

[zinc coyote]

play in vr you can carry more iirc

[lyric oracle]

Yeah extra hand lol

[latent crystal]

yo

[junior gull]

that is not comparable to infinite sprint lol

[latent crystal]

i have a question

[lyric oracle]

I just explained why it is lol

[latent crystal]

is there any mod to like boost the player capacity from 4 to 6?

[junior gull]

but then why is that fine 🤔

[crude thistle]

p2w

[lyric oracle]

Mods are not allowed.

[junior gull]

so is extra item on prestige (play to win)

Can a ghost detect ur electronic from a different floor? Or do they have to be same floor as u?

[late river]

Is it really possible to restore it?

[topaz star]

Wdym "accidentally"?

[thorn spruce]

Can u do custom difficulties? How many evidences are u comfortable with?

[vast crown]

did you click the evil button

Did you press the "reset save file" button in the journal

Like a certain someone

[topaz star]

Biggest mistake

[late river]

my cursor disappeared in the game and I wanted to reset it but I didn't understand that it resets all the progress, it was right under the cursor setting

[vast crown]

you have an nvidia graphics card?

yeah you pressed the evil button

there's no turning back

[late river]

so is this real?

[vast crown]

yes

[topaz star]

Indeed

[late river]

how can i do this, please help me

[topaz star]

U csnt

[vast crown]

theyr eally need to move that button to a different section of the settings

[topaz star]

Did you not read the warning label??

[vast crown]

reset save file cannot be undone

unless you have a local backup of it

[lime token]

Unfortunately

[topaz star]

Maybe at a starting menu

[modern mauve]

Even tho it's entirely the user's fault, reset save needs to have a captcha

[thorn spruce]

If you've custom difficulties unlocked and need 3 evidences, just go custom professional and maximise the multiplier. Else, just do regular professional and survive.

[late river]

and if I try to write to support, will they be able to restore my progress?

[vast crown]

it does say "WARNING: This will permanently reset all of your options, level, equipment, and progress"

[vast crown]

not if you clicked that button

it wipes the cloud save too

[topaz star]

Read what we're saying since we're trying to help

then why is it in the setting where oxygen is?

[lyric oracle]

Also rewarding bothering which is nice :,3

[late river]

I'll still try to write, in which channel about technical support, please tell me

[tropic frost]

the leveling system as a whole sucks pretty bad

[lime token]

I despise van camping

[lyric oracle]

He only needs mode and gear boosted, he can still play lol

[junior gull]

ok be my pack mule then

[high crater]

if the phasmo movie won't show people bending in horrifying ways im not watching

[lyric oracle]

They didn’t delete his brain XD

[lime token]

What does an emf do

[modern mauve]

DM @violet nova but they'll tell you the same thing

[lyric oracle]

Takes photos of parasounds.

[lime token]

Got it

[vast crown]

yeah devs say once you press that button there's nothing they can do

[junior gull]

does ghost is kill?

[lyric oracle]

Yes.

[lime token]

Do you are have stupid?

[junior gull]

what would you do if when he okay said yes would go?

[lavish estuary]

🐟🐸

[lyric oracle]

Yes?! 😄

[thorn spruce]

The annoying part is losing ur tier 3 items pretty shortly after unlocking all tier 3.

[lyric oracle]

Easy come easy go

[lime token]

I need some xp injected into me rn

Devs need to make this game P2W so i can just buy level 50

[junior gull]

they should definitely lock T3 items behind lootboxes 😻

[lyric oracle]

I mean technically… it was…

Play pre level update, get any level, get prestige 1 so all unlocked at level 0 🤔 Just had to pay earlier then that lol.

[leaden ivy]

it didn't unlock the gear at level 0 though?

if you were reset to prestige 1 level 1 you'd have t1 gear

[lyric oracle]

Not the gear but the custom mode is what allows faster levelling.

[lime token]

If i had access to customs rn I would make P20 in like a week

[leaden ivy]

Sure but custom is at like...what, level 30? And you can still join someone else's lobby and get level 30 yourself in like 5 minutes

[lime token]

50

[lyric oracle]

^

[leaden ivy]

ok, 6 minutes

[lyric oracle]

That maths feels off lol

[gritty dove]

What are you currently at, Goober?

[lime token]

11

[leaden ivy]

i just don't really see the point in locking difficulty behind level at all right now tbh

[gritty dove]

Ah

[lyric oracle]

I do lol

[gritty dove]

Yeah I would not like to go back to before I unlocked customs

[leaden ivy]

what purpose does it actually serve honestly

[vast crown]

cause then level 1 gonna rush into customs and not like the game

[leaden ivy]

they can already do that by joining someone else's custom lobby

[lime token]

Funny thing is that my stats saved from when i was P6, but my level got wiped

[vast crown]

yes but then ideally the host knows what they're doing and can guide them

[lime token]

Must be a downside of getting the halloween trophy back

[gritty dove]

Oh you got that back?

Nice

[lyric oracle]

People who don’t know the game already can’t even find 3 evidences. Allowing them to make it more difficult would lead to rage quitting blaming the game.

[leaden ivy]

you have such a sparkly-eyed optimism of random hosts in pubs i can't bear to say otherwise

[vast crown]

ideally

[leaden ivy]

in all honesty...good? i am all for having an idiot-filter

[lyric oracle]

Then.. you wake up.

[lyric oracle]

Elitism isn’t the look 😭

[leaden ivy]

crank game up to max difficulty >get mad >ragequit

[gritty dove]

Also it keeps people from watching a random YouTube video and immediately thinking they need to start with 0ev 0san

[lime token]

I miss getting 3000-5000 xp per round

[junior gull]

me 💔

[leaden ivy]

It's not elitism it's someone who doesn't fully understand the game yet being fully aware they're cranking it up to maximum difficulty and being mad when they can't do it immediately

[gritty dove]

Don't get me wrong, I get it, but I do always say people should start playing regular games

[leaden ivy]

And if they have the audacity to blame the game and ragequit, then i'm being entirely honest when I say the playerbase is better off without them

[lyric oracle]

People already misjudge the complexity and misread the systems. This ensures an easing in.

[leaden ivy]

Throw up a "It is recommended to start with amateur or intermediate settings until you are more experienced" warning and boom accounted for

[lyric oracle]

The tutorial doesn’t help, the journal absolutely doesn’t lol

[leaden ivy]

It ensures nothing because, once again, nothing is stopping new players from joining higher difficulty/custom lobbies

[gritty dove]

I mean the tutorial's a lot better than what it used to be

[lyric oracle]

Feels like 6 of one half a dozen of the other lol

[leaden ivy]

Force tutorial completion then without locking difficulties? Would help I'd imagine

[junior gull]

what's the issue with locking it behind levels? it's one and done when you have it unlocked

[leaden ivy]

Right but why lock them in the first place

[lyric oracle]

(Was covered)

[leaden ivy]

(Was answered)

[gritty dove]

It's simple, customs and difficulties are locked because the intended gameplay is for new players to start on amateur

[modern mauve]

I think everything up to Professional should be unlocked from the start

[lyric oracle]

Also early game unlocking, at least there’s something lol

[lime token]

As someone who HAS experienced high level gameplay and then being level 1 again, its a tedious task to gain levels without customs

[junior gull]

for better player experience, eases new players into it

[gritty dove]

I mean when does prof unlock?

[lime token]

20

[modern mauve]

20

[leaden ivy]

It can still be that way. If anything it'd also help players who are experienced playing on a new console and want to jump back in lol

[gritty dove]

I think that's reasonable

[modern mauve]

It's slow

[lyric oracle]

But that’s only with the knowledge you have.

[gritty dove]

For us now, yes

[modern mauve]

Nightmare and above should absolutely be level locked

[junior gull]

i dont doubt that but 99% of people wont experience that issue

[lyric oracle]

It only affects people going from all to nothing.

[gritty dove]

When I was just starting, amateur was plenty challenging

[leaden ivy]

It's not like the game defaults to higher difficulties either. If you're below a certain level, just have any lobby you make default to amateur but don't lock everything else

[modern mauve]

Because they play very differently than prof and below

[south violet]

I FINALLY GOT THE SPECIAL DEO SPIRIT BOX THINGY

[gritty dove]

Nice!

[analog widget]

-trello

[prime elk]

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

[leaden ivy]

And it's easily dodgeable by joining a higher difficulty lobby which with the current system a new player would have no idea what the higher difficulty settings do or how to act and we're relying entirely on the goodness of the host's heart to be able and willing to teach them

[lyric oracle]

Y u hate bookmarks? 😭 lol

[leaden ivy]

Part of the same confusion I have with why deo is level locked but mimic isn't

[analog widget]

Because I do

[lyric oracle]

Finding evidence is different from not hiding.

[lime token]

@vast crown wanna help me get out of this hellhole?

[south violet]

Gotta teach them the pain of the mimic early

[vast crown]

yee

[leaden ivy]

the mimic can mimic a deo. And a fourth evidence is entirely different from the 3 evidence system new players are taught

[south violet]

Deo is like a reward

[lyric oracle]

Can it do it before it’s unlocked? 🤔

[leaden ivy]

I think so?

[lyric oracle]

Asking the real questions lol

[leaden ivy]

I don't think there's a "weaker version" of the mimic in the game just for lower level players

[modern mauve]

It can mimic Deo

I do agree that mimic should be level locked

[lyric oracle]

Wouldn’t need a certain, just one variable check.

[leaden ivy]

phasmo wiki doesn't say anything about it from what i can tell

[lyric oracle]

Also though pointless when only Deo has a requirement. Feels like a weird leftover.

[thorn spruce]

As someone who recently picked up the game together with some friends, the game is pretty fun. Although, amateur did feel harder than intermediate/professional, probably because none of us knew what we were doing.

[flint venture]

So I thought this ghost early hunted but my sanity somehow was tanked to 20. Not a jinn or a moroi gotta be an oni right?

[gritty dove]

Yeah I think by the time you unlock those it feels easier because you have a grasp on the basics

[leaden ivy]

even if it doesn't mimic a deo if you're below a certain level, the different attributes and 4 evidence trick are IMO not suitable for new players either. they mess up the formula of evidence like the deo messes up the formula of hiding during hunts

[modern mauve]

I've played a lot from a fresh save recently, it's really slow

[leaden ivy]

Both break the rules of a conventional ghost and thus both should be locked IMO

[lyric oracle]

I think the bigger issue is orbs greying it out.

[gritty dove]

Yeah but Bourbon, you're a already a pro

That really colours the experience

[leaden ivy]

I think it gives him a better standpoint of just how slow exp gain is even as a veteran on lower difficulties

[gritty dove]

I have watched people STRUGGLE on amateur

[modern mauve]

Exactly, if I find it slow, it's agonising for new players

[lyric oracle]

The new player experience is painful to watch.

[gritty dove]

As a veteran you don't need to be going to the lower difficulties unless you want to

[vestal ferry]

The button is at the bottom of the General settings and specifically says "Save File" not settings.

[leaden ivy]

He lost his progress

[gritty dove]

I think it's the opposite

Bourbon didn't lose progress

Bourbon is a dork who chose to do challenges

[leaden ivy]

Did I get him mixed up with someone else who did

[gritty dove]

Yeh

Goober

[leaden ivy]

ah right

[late river]

да всеравно меня нахуй послали

[lyric oracle]

New players have no expectation of what speed to expect for exp, so they can’t find it slow.

[lyric oracle]

English.

[thorn spruce]

That's why custom difficulties remain unlocked after prestige for faster levels.

[modern mauve]

I'm hoping chronicle helps with the leveling

[gritty dove]

I genuinely think it feels slow to a veteran because we're already used to the game

[lyric oracle]

This exactly. Changed expectations.

[thorn spruce]

New players are way more concerned with dying, unable to find any evidences and hunts potentially starting out of nowhere than thinking about what level they are...

[lyric oracle]

They’re busy jumping at everything and misunderstanding lol

[gritty dove]

I know when I was a newbie the journey to unlocking intermediate and prof didn't feel slow at all. I was more concerned with freaking out over ghost events and getting my evidence mixed up

[modern mauve]

Eh maybe so, but I do think professional or even intermediate should be unlocked at the very least

[gritty dove]

I still remember my first ghost I figured out without evidence. I was so proud. It was a wraith in Tanglewood in the hallway

[gritty dove]

I kinda think those being unlocked from the start makes people think they should start there

[modern mauve]

It's very fair for Nightmare and up be locked because they change how you fundamentally play the game

[thorn spruce]

New players be going, is my spirit box even working? is 0 degrees freezing?

[lyric oracle]

I remember getting salt without prints, then UV as evidence, mimic mimicking old style Wraith :,3 the old days lol

[torn latch]

i been learning to play no evidence it is hard haha

[gritty dove]

And amateur is slow to us because we don't need all that setup time but newbies tend to

I've seen plenty new users complain the game is unfair because they struggle so much on the beginning

[lyric oracle]

Seeing a summoning circle pre fire lighter feels like a targeted attack.

[gritty dove]

Now that I get. Or getting the photo objective without a cam

[lyric oracle]

Those are tied to level

[vestal ferry]

Know whats truly slow. 0ev friendly ghost

[gritty dove]

They weren't as far as I know. I've definitely had that objective before I had cams unlocked

[thorn spruce]

Also, no deogen before lvl 30!

[lyric oracle]

Don’t you bring your masochism here!

[gritty dove]

But I could be confused with prestiging

[thorn spruce]

hmm or maybe it's changed recently? no idea

[lyric oracle]

On prestiging I don’t see gear specific goals until I unlock them.

[vestal ferry]

You shouldnt get any objective until you get to the level required, similar to deogen unlock

[lyric oracle]

Motion sensor, paramic etc

[gritty dove]

Could have changed. I have the memory of a goldfish and don't remember all patch notes but I have absolutely had the cam objective before unlocking it

And it's been a long time since I've had to prestige

[lyric oracle]

The summoning circle tho? It don’t care your level and will mock you happily.
