[hexed imp]

I would love if the main lobby was customizable, maybe not the Sims levels of customizable but being able to choose where the trophies are displayed, where each board is, and which games you have at your lobby will go a long way

[glacial stag]

where is it ren

[thorn spruce]

+1% movement speed for each prestige lvl haha

[lyric oracle]

Idle games have that because they’re incremental and exponential the point is numbers get bigger and bigger. There’s a current prestige and level cap, infinite scaling isn’t the goal.

[hexed imp]

If you make all customization require prestige points and make the prestige badges require more points to buy you will want help players prestige more and gather points so they can afford customization and maybe xp % increase

[final sandal]

i mean increase of prestige to like lvl 50 might be nice, something to play for

[lyric oracle]

There’s 1 badge per prestige, you can only use one badge at a time, making them tied to arbitrary points is a terrible idea.

[topaz star]

agree itll be too easy to get

[hexed imp]

The prestiege badges will not be purchasable till u reach their respective prestige level

[topaz star]

wheres the challenge in that

[lyric oracle]

And you.. don’t see why that’s pointless?

It’s an unnecessary convolution.

[final sandal]

yeah lets make it like idle games, you only unlock incense at lvl 1400

[topaz star]

good thing i got the incense lvl goal

[lyric oracle]

Idle games; every ghost is a shade that follows you

[final sandal]

its completely different game genre you can't really compare.. at lvl 2000 you get +0,02% chance of ghost interacting with the book... like...

[lyric oracle]

Also there’s nothing to compare it to, it’s the progenitor.

[hexed imp]

This is just me imagining how a better prestiege system will be
First I would make it so the higher your level is when you prestiege the more prestiege points or whatever they will be called in game be.
Upon prestieging the first time a grage door in your lobby will unlock with a prestiege shop inside it.
When u prestiege u can spend your points on permanent +xp % which gives you 1 or 2 percent more, could need tweaking.
Character customization like clothes, van skins, lobby skins will require prestiege points to be purchased.
Prestiege cards will not he given for free when you reach their prestiege instead you unlock the ability to buy them in the prestiege shop, and instead of 1 new card every prestiege level you unlock the ability to purchase a new card every 5 or so prestieges with the last one requiring more.

[lyric oracle]

None of this is better.

[final sandal]

none of that is making the game better.

[hexed imp]

How would u guys improve it

[lyric oracle]

Why does it need “improved”? XD

[final sandal]

like the clothes are coming, but i sure as hell hope not in this sort of way

[slim whale]

How are you still talking about prestige rewards. Its been an hour

[final sandal]

van skins, lobby skins, yeah lemme get that lamborghini van with that +50% sprint stamina

[hexed imp]

Prestieges right now give you nothing but achievements and a new badge/card, they don't compensate you if you decide to reach level 200 or 700 you still get the same boring prestiege card that's next in line. It also forces you to give up all your items and money for bragging rights

[vestal ferry]

prestiges dont need to give anything other than some cosmetic tbh

[modern mauve]

I'd like to see lobby customisation at some point

[vestal ferry]

it's for fun. not for like.. anything else. but like. we will get player customization later on

[lyric oracle]

“They don’t compensate you for putting it off” correct….

[hexed imp]

Some players like to keep their tools for longer, if you're playing with your friends who started the game and you reach prestiege you won't punish yourself by getting tier one items, you will keep your items to help them and have fun attempting hard challenges, it's all about giving the player more control in how they decide to play

[final sandal]

@hexed imp how about keep the prestige same, but put the in-game money to some use you suggesting? cuz i am sitting at 5M for example & nothing to spend it on. prestige is fine as it is imo.

[lyric oracle]

You can keep them longer, no reason to be rewarded for doing it lmao

[final sandal]

also, there is plenty of people that never prestige, or stop after p3 for achievement. you are not forced to prestige at all to play the game

[vestal ferry]

devs had a chance to change it. they instead opted to make it less total xp to get to lvl100.

[turbid anchor]

Can ghosts go through the locked doors on asylum?

[final sandal]

yes

[topaz star]

yep

[turbid anchor]

So if it were a Deogen, it would come to me no matter where I am?

[final sandal]

yep

[lyric oracle]

Man that gets asked a lot XD

[topaz star]

correct

[topaz star]

indeed it does

[turbid anchor]

Doing gold Apocolypse challenge lol

[topaz star]

gl

[lyric oracle]

Yeah assumed so

Doin the turtle crawl

[turbid anchor]

trying to cheese reload until I get deo, this is too difficult otherwise. constantly fast ghosts could be moroi or hantu, no real safe way of checking

[final sandal]

imagine there was no possibility to get deo for apoc3

or, on the gold badge of apoc3 there could be the name of the ghost type you got it from. or a number like you got it with 3 types of ghosts

[lyric oracle]

Boooo

[slim whale]

Hello to u

[lyric oracle]

Need a plaque beside listing all ghosts you’ve done it with for the masochists lol

[hexed imp]

Everytime I thought of cheesing apoc I remember how much it would mean to me if I was able to do it legitimately after mastering the game

[stray bear]

chat i wanna do apo3 i got it but i forgot to take a photo of the ghost

i almost got the trophy

🥀

could someone join me in call and help me out a bit

[zinc coyote]

nuh uh

[stray bear]

: (

[lyric oracle]

No suffering no earning 😠

[turbid anchor]

uh oh

red moon on apoc3

[final sandal]

i got mine on first try, getting a banshee scream within 3s of entering the map, got photo from singing event & it randomly blew a candle in the chapel sooo, yeah... about the suffering..

[lyric oracle]

So I’m afraid you need to do it again.

[final sandal]

15.12.2024 23:38 "Safe to say i am never doing apoc3 again." gotta keep the promise 😆

[static star]

I’m playing ridge view rn and the ouija board just said bathroom, not which one. Does that mean it’s any bathroom or a specific one

[lyric oracle]

Where is the exact location of your computer with your save on? Asking for a friend…..

[turbid anchor]

wait its not all cloud based?

[lyric oracle]

I mean statistically some people will be gifted an easy apoc, I can still be salty about it lol

[gloomy imp]

i love making little kids do sunny meadows with no sprint and no evidence

its fun cuz the ghost hunts instantly

and i get free money from head cams :3

[lyric oracle]

Selling them for scrap, clever.

[gloomy imp]

yup

then if they survive i say the wrong ghost type

already lvl 100 from doing it

15x multi

[hexed imp]

Wait what does it work

What's the lore behind that potato in the kitchen

It does a weird sound when u throw it

It must be sentient

[abstract lotus]

Definitely

[lyric oracle]

It’s an Easter egg for Psycho

[vestal ferry]

that's Psycho, a content creator

[lyric oracle]

That’s the lore lol

[lyric oracle]

XD I like the implication that it itself is the actual existence of the creator.

[vestal ferry]

well he like's to be a potato with that face so

[lyric oracle]

Making videos in between people kicking the door down and throwing salt everywhere.

[vestal ferry]

huh?

[lyric oracle]

The potato in the kitchen that’s the actual creator.

[fair quartz]

My whole team just died to a yurei

Including me

[slim whale]

Gj!

[calm path]

Ay atleast it wasnt a deo

That would be embarrassing, not like its happened to me before😗

[lyric oracle]

Why you kissing people?

[calm path]

Why not

thats the real question

[lyric oracle]

Oh

[calm path]

🤤

[zinc coyote]

[slim whale]

Hi gwimm

[lyric oracle]

Shut up Grimm, we don’t need your nonsense!

[calm path]

Gwimm? ayo grim someone likes u

[slim whale]

I do like grimm yes

[zinc coyote]

[calm path]

yo chill he can join 😉

[lyric oracle]

Is it glowstick manufacturers because his diet is keeping them in business?

[calm path]

ooooooooo

[tribal elk]

@zinc coyote at least one person here likes you

[weary trellis]

nah

karen detected

[tribal elk]

[gritty dove]

We don't discuss mods unless the topic is 'How awesome are the Phas discord moderators.'
There, now we can move on

[tribal elk]

That doesn't seem right
/j

[gritty dove]

You're right, discord mods are all stinky

[tribal elk]

I knew it

[lyric oracle]

So are discord users tho so

[tribal elk]

True

We are all stinky

[lyric oracle]

I’m too depressed to not be 🤷🏼‍♂️
Ghosts use electric sense and hearing not smell so am good.

[zinc coyote]

"At least one person"

[lyric oracle]

At the very least, zero.

[zinc coyote]

[tribal elk]

Actually make it 2
I like you too

[acoustic jay]

Guys I started a game with 0x multiplier and we were in 3 but once the game started it didn’t give us any loadout and another guy appeared, is it a cheater or sm?

He didn’t show a name but had a strange badge on his shoulder

[hexed imp]

should phasmaphobia add a money/xp penalty for repeating the same map

[lyric oracle]

No.

[wise oyster]

If anything, I'd go the other way and provide a bonus for choosing Random, if you wanted to encourage that

[hexed imp]

adding an xp bonus for maps u havent played in a while and a penalty like payday 2 for repeating the same map will encourage ppl to cycle through maps, maybe they need more maps before they think about it

[lyric oracle]

A bonus to others is different from penalty to repeating.

[hexed imp]

ooh random map bonus is a good idea

[lyric oracle]

Except rerolling is free lol

[hexed imp]

why would someone reroll

[lyric oracle]

How could you possibly ask that lol

“Here’s a way to exploit it to get the bonus and the map you want” “Why would people exploit?”

[wise oyster]

True, but if you wanted to encourage playing different maps, a carrot would be received better than a stick

[hexed imp]

i misunderstood u at first, i thought u said rerolling maps to get a different ghost shouldn't get penalized

[lyric oracle]

I prefer eating carrots to sticks.

Unless the stick has a lolly on.

My dog likes carrots and sticks tho

[vestal ferry]

30% bonus for choosing "random"

[lyric oracle]

30%!?

[wise oyster]

I was thinking 10%

[vestal ferry]

sure why not.

[lyric oracle]

Blood moon is only 10 lol

[wise oyster]

at most, akin to Blood Moon

[vestal ferry]

people would really choose random a lot more and would help with newbies tbh

[lyric oracle]

30% is ginormous.

[wise oyster]

if the bonus is small, it would encourage people to pick random, but not make it feel so big or mandatory they would reroll for easy maps

[hexed imp]

what if when u play a map it gets added to a history list, the more u play it the heavier the penality up to 30% less money and xp from the map, playing other maps that u havent played in a while gives u a bonus %

[vestal ferry]

like newbies hitting random creating this funny thing of doing maps they don't have unlocked

[hexed imp]

you can unlock maps??

[wise oyster]

yeah that's closer to what I'd want BM to be

[lyric oracle]

No penalties..

[wise oyster]

only Tanglewood is open when you start the game

[hexed imp]

wow

[vestal ferry]

yes, the maps unlock as you play during your prestige 0 time.

[lyric oracle]

You were talking about people playing how they want then you’re like “Penalise them”

[vestal ferry]

20% bloodmoon bonus. 30% random map bonus. 25% bonus for random difficulty bonus

[hexed imp]

most of my hours on phasmaphobia were spent in Tanglewood

[lyric oracle]

Random should absolutely not be higher than BM.

[wise oyster]

I'm on board with 20% BM bonus there

[tall nebula]

ill take what is the ranger and one asylum challenge for 500

[lyric oracle]

Also random difficulty as in random custom or..?

[wise oyster]

10% random, 20% BM

[vestal ferry]

i mean. i feel random is more penalty than bloodmoon tbh

[lyric oracle]

You can reroll the map instantly

[vestal ferry]

like most people really know 1 map. they dont know most of the others

[wise oyster]

yeah if the bonus is too big people will just reroll to get Tanglewood again

even to their own detriment

[hexed imp]

yeah last time i played any other phasma map was 2 years ago

[lyric oracle]

I play others occasionally. But I live in Tangle lol.

[wise oyster]

lol but you're the one who started this whole idea?

[vestal ferry]

it may seem complicated.. but what if the Random bonus goes up with each consecutive correct ghost gotten then?

[hexed imp]

yeah its better for everyone

[wise oyster]

Streak Bonus

[vestal ferry]

start at 10. max of 30.

could lead to some fun sessions

[lyric oracle]

I preferred a Steak Bonus.

[wise oyster]

also 🥩 bonus

[hexed imp]

playing payday 2 u get familiar with 5 or so maps and u keep retrying them, it encourages devs to make each map good and u get more expereince in more maps

[vestal ferry]

i dont like penalties though.

the penalty shouldn't be forced. just encourage diverse gameplay, like they are doing with the new Media system

[lyric oracle]

And that’s coming from a masochist.

[wise oyster]

Buffs, not nerfs

[lyric oracle]

Love, not war

[hexed imp]

how can payday 2 get away with adding penalty to repeating the same mission but phasmaphobia doesnt

[lyric oracle]

This is like comparing it to an idle game again 🤦🏼‍♂️

[vestal ferry]

meh. i dont like payday anyway.

[hexed imp]

😭

[vestal ferry]

penalties are just.. bluck

[lyric oracle]

How can (entirely unrelated game) do (entirely unrelated mechanic). It answers itself lol.

[vestal ferry]

why is phasmo not a gacha

[lyric oracle]

This better have a punchline, it was set up like there was.

[hexed imp]

but they are so similar in the way u deal with maps/mission, u have to strategize and plan how u approach each map in both games

[wise oyster]

not always, it's sometimes helpful to see what other games do, but it's important to bring it into the proper context.

[vestal ferry]

Gacha trading cards in phasmo.

[lyric oracle]

Unreal level of stretch on that lol

[hexed imp]

are we gonna be playing tangelwood for eternity

is that what the game wants to teach new players

[lyric oracle]

COD zombies is just like Phasmo it has different maps you need to strategise and plan for, prestige, and you bring in gear to earn money, dealing with the undead.

[vestal ferry]

phasmo lets you choose whatever map. it's fine.

no need to penalize people. upping rewards in some way encourages that enough.

[lyric oracle]

Again you LITERALLY were advocating letting people play how they wanted to earlier lol

Also technically weekly already does it.

As do “do objectives in x map” weeklies.

[vestal ferry]

tbh those rewards just aren't enough normally and don't require correct ghost for the "play X map X times"

[lyric oracle]

It’s not play map it’s do objectives.

[wise oyster]

$500 isn't much motivation to play a map 4 times if you normally only play tanglewood\

[lyric oracle]

Yeah but people who don’t know other maps don’t know that lol

[modern mauve]

[vestal ferry]

BOURBON

[wise oyster]

they can divide 12 by 3

[vestal ferry]

[lyric oracle]

Honestly.. some of them I’m not sure they can.

[hexed imp]

they can still do what they want they would just earn less money for playing tanglewood the 9823928th time, also when i was adovacting for prestiege i want people to get rewarded even if a tiny bit for not presteging as soon as they reach lvl100

[modern mauve]

Hello Harleen

[lyric oracle]

That’s not a good reason to reward someone tho lol

“He’s a reward for keeping the most powerful gear” lol wut

[hexed imp]

"here are some breadcrumbs so u dont feel like reaching lvl200 then prestieging was a waste, u can get actual bread and cake if u use our prestiege system btw"

[wise oyster]

hard disagree on that one

[vestal ferry]

When prestige
"Keep gear but perma 20% less xp until next prestige"
"Lose gear but gain 5% more xp until next prestige"
If prestiging to 20, no choice, lose everything.

[lyric oracle]

It was a waste, and that’s made clear lol

Hell normally games with prestige at x level just cap at x level at least this was if you CHOOSE to not prestige you can still watch numbers go up.

Your reward is that fleeting dopamine, and you’ll be grateful 😠

[vestal ferry]

i wish CJ's idea woulda stuck. Each prestige you get a perma unlock token. Must start at t1 version. woulda been neat to do that like Cod Blops1 did

[lyric oracle]

Kinda defeats the purpose eventually.

[vestal ferry]

how many items do we have?

[lyric oracle]

I’m no mathelete.

[vestal ferry]

with 3 tiers each?

you wouldn't have all items by p20 is all.

[lyric oracle]

Which is worse.

[wise oyster]

nooo

[vestal ferry]

but you could say have the photo cam unlocked perma for more money. then perma smudge. maybe lighter next

[lyric oracle]

Hard force choicing knowing you can’t have all is definitely worse than just unlock all.

[wise oyster]

It'd be an interesting idea, if for nothing else than to see what items people go with

[vestal ferry]

less punished each prestige and make you wanna hit next one even more

[hexed imp]

stretching the prestiege levels and making prestiege cards require more prestiege to unlock will encourage players to buy xp modifiers from the prestiege shop

[wise oyster]

you'd still have them all by the end of each prestige. You'd just get to prioritze which ones you want to always have unlocked

[vestal ferry]

maybe let people reset the token when they prestige just so they aren't super hard locked forever.

[lyric oracle]

No one wants a prestige shop…

[wise oyster]

Reset costs 1 prestige 💀

[vestal ferry]

that's evil. maybe a "can transfer 1 token per prestige" just in case you know.

[wise oyster]

about a year ago they cut the XP requirements across the board by 10%, so that's out

[modern mauve]

There's certainly more that can be done to incentivise prestiging or make it less of a grueling climb

[final sandal]

prestige is fine, its the millions of phasmo buckaroos that sit useless what is the issue imo

[lyric oracle]

Which is a permanent choice you’re locked out of if there’s not enough by final prestige, which with the time invested, the finality of it, AND there’s new gear coming would all feel horrible.

[modern mauve]

And I think an perma item unlock would be neat

[wise oyster]

wtf are you talking about

[vestal ferry]

like i truly think perma unlock tokens is like that extra oomf to push people to prestige and not wait super late into each prestige cause you get that dopamine of the token

[hexed imp]

harleen is bascially talking about the prestiege shop

[vestal ferry]

prioritize money makers first. then survival tools. then your most liked qol items.

[lyric oracle]

Unlocking things permanent and with only 20 prestige so not enough to unlock all forces permanent choices of what you don’t get, it wasn’t a complicated statement.

[vestal ferry]

no. i'm talking a singular token.

[lime token]

Or spend money to get a 20 percent xp boost for 1 hour

[wise oyster]

just an incoherent one

[modern mauve]

[lyric oracle]

I disagree lol

[final sandal]

phasmo a.k.a WOT 2.0

exp boosters in phasmo xd

[vestal ferry]

that's why it would be interesting cause by the time you are prestige 20 it doesn't matter. but those choices along the way will help you getting to next prestige faster depending on what you like.

[lyric oracle]

… oh yeah

I did mention I’m very sleep deprived.

[vestal ferry]

the new media will def make things interesting cause higher tier gives more rewards so like.. people could prioritize those.

[wise oyster]

I'd have locked in on my T3 paramic first prolly

[lime token]

These rewards better encourage me to go for perfect games on woodwind

[lyric oracle]

Just move all media gear to base gear.

[wise oyster]

or maybe even the T1 smudge so I had it on level 1

[vestal ferry]

yeah but to go to t3 you need to use those tokens first on the previous tiers. so it's not super op prestige system

[wise oyster]

right it'd take me 3 prestiges to have it fully unlocked

[hexed imp]

what a prestiege shop would include:
xp/money % modifier
clothes and prestiege specific clothes
temporary unique rented gear thats not as good as lvl3 gear but better than lvl1 gear
skins for ur lobby
van skins
cards/badges
golden item skins ppl can grind for

[vestal ferry]

9, for the new media system coming.

[final sandal]

wouldn't that just make prestige-ing a huge suffering?

[wise oyster]

I'm talking about paramic only though

[vestal ferry]

no?

[lyric oracle]

Stop with the prestige shop 😩

[wise oyster]

the opposite

[vestal ferry]

like right now you completely lose everything. with perma unlock tokens you would have them at lvl1 each time.

[vestal ferry]

lmfao fair.

[final sandal]

ah so at like p5 you got 5 items perma but loose the rest?

[hexed imp]

adding a prestiege shop would return 2020 popularity to phasmaphobia

[vestal ferry]

each prestige gain 1 perma unlock tokin. still have to unlock in order of tiers. so yeah. You'd have them each time. lose everything else like normal.

[lyric oracle]

No, it really wouldn’t.

[wise oyster]

yeah the idea is you'd get a token you can spend to perma-unlock 1 item tier per prestige. So unlocking a T3 item would cost 3 tokens

[hexed imp]

the tokens are glorified prestige points

[vestal ferry]

just an idea.. an idea that CJ also had. cause him and i both liked Blops1 prestige system.

[wise oyster]

sure, the name or form isn't terribly important

[vestal ferry]

i'm sorry, the tokens been around longer than prestige points

[lyric oracle]

Current blops has unlocks.

[final sandal]

we even get a gacha mechanic, its not money, its GEMS

[hexed imp]

where would u spend the prestiege tokens? at a prestiege shop right

[lyric oracle]

Speaking as someone who basically only plays zombies on it lol

[final sandal]

nah you go to backrooms to the merchant from resident evil 4

[hexed imp]

i want to wish horrible things upon crawling ghost models but a lot of them are toddlers so i feel bad

[lyric oracle]

No, you just mark one thing as you prestige. No shop for it involved. Because it’s unnecessary.

[vestal ferry]

yeahh but now you have Person prestige, gun prestige as seperate things fully. Back then you lost all weapons, loadouts, gun upgrades, tacs ect when you prestiged. but got a single unlock token to unlock ANYTHING but it cost 1 token for each individual thing. so this included attatchments since weapons didn't level up. it was all based on your level.

[lyric oracle]

There’s no gun prestige .-.

[vestal ferry]

at the unlock shop, as you do now. nothing different there.

[vestal ferry]

they removed that?

[lyric oracle]

I didn’t like losing attachments, I’m glad that’s gone.

[vestal ferry]

cause damn... individual gun prestiges was aweful

[hexed imp]

the reason i like a prestiege shop idea so much is bcs we could see more about this mysterious ghost hunting org that the hunters work at, we could see vintage ghost hunters outfit and outfits only the best of the best hunters wear

[lyric oracle]

Nah you prestige, lose things you don’t have unlocked by blueprint or token, get more stuff as you level.

[final sandal]

all that just for 4.99

[lyric oracle]

In the most unnecessary way possible.

[vestal ferry]

i mean. can just have outfits unlock.... without a shhop.. as you prestige

like we already have

[final sandal]

ill rather put the ingame money for skins than prestige tokens idea

[lyric oracle]

Unneeded convolution and fomo is bad.

[final sandal]

that way even people not prestige-ing can get those skins

[lyric oracle]

Not all of them 😠

[hexed imp]

making clothes limited to at least 1 prestiege will let u judge ppl based on how they look

[lyric oracle]

Same as cards bruh

[hexed imp]

and get a better idea of ur team

[final sandal]

you get %discount for every prestige you have.

[lyric oracle]

Bruh. It shows prestige level lol.

[lyric oracle]

Nope, prestige locked items ;3

[final sandal]

like 90% of the playerbasse barely get to p1 so we gotta think about the Timmies.

[lyric oracle]

Tho I stand by if I can’t run around in a sheet to mock the ghost, I riot.

[lyric oracle]

Hell nah screw the Timmies.

[vestal ferry]

but why? you already use the money for the upgrades and items as you progress to lvl100

[lyric oracle]

Money is absolutely in no way a limiting factor.

[final sandal]

so even like people that stay at p3, but get 500k & plan on no more prestige than that, can get those skins.

[vestal ferry]

they gotta prestige

[final sandal]

sure some skins might be like prestige locked

[vestal ferry]

easy as that.

[lyric oracle]

Need a cosmetic for each achievement.

[vestal ferry]

no need to reward for not prestiging.

[lyric oracle]

“I got murdered by a demon in one minute and all I got was this lousy tshirt”

[final sandal]

the fomo will just make it that the cheaters will be everywhere imo, since not many people have p20

[lyric oracle]

This is an absurd claim.

FOMO isn’t why people cheat and inevitably get banned, thereby missing out on everything.

People cheat due to lack of hugs as a child. Probably.

[lime token]

Just give us prestige 21

[cobalt matrix]

prestige 9999

[vestal ferry]

ironically would take less time to get that than lvl 9999

[final sandal]

"Players don't cheat to get a faster time, they cheat to get a time, faster" is a quote from karl Jobst, mainly about speedrunning but also aplicable to grind like phasmo. most cheaters would stop at p3 or even p1 after unlocking T3 items, but they go to p20 asap for a "fame" or "status".. with skins locked behind p20 things might get worse imo.

[lime token]

Just add a working anticheat

And if they find a work around, improve it

[vestal ferry]

already is being done

nothing is full proof. ever

[lyric oracle]

You don’t get fame from cosmetics lol

[lime token]

Wait an anticheat is in the works?

[lyric oracle]

And the status element is already there because it shows prestige right by your name..

[vestal ferry]

it has had one since 2021

[lyric oracle]

Is it in the room with us?

[final sandal]

for some people the prestige element might not be enough, but shiny hat could.

[lyric oracle]

It mainly detects a mod program there’s still a lot fall through the gaps currently 😦

[vestal ferry]

its been getting updates as they go around.

but like any anti cheat. people get around it. doesn't matter how good they are

[lime token]

Well something urgent needs to be done, public lobbies are a mess

[lyric oracle]

Moni is a great motivator lol

[vestal ferry]

even kernal level anti cheats are bypassed withhin a day

[zinc coyote]

Yeah no such thing as removing modders entirely from a game. Sadly

[lyric oracle]

Throw back to the hackers who snitched on other hackers in WoW cause they were bad for business.

[modern mauve]

Public lobby filters should help somewhat

[vestal ferry]

eyup

just happens. sadly.

[lyric oracle]

The lack of a kick button is wild.

[final sandal]

my logic was more stuff hidden behind p20 wall, more temptation to cheat.

[modern mauve]

Upgrade our networking backend to support more features such as the host kicking players, rejoining games after disconnecting and a cross platform friends list.

Targeting: Q4 2025

Something planned for later this year

[vestal ferry]

which can help with their anti cheat probably

[lyric oracle]

Good, don’t need cheats to grief, be obnoxious, or hold hostage.

Yep

There were so many words I didn’t recognise at all so was confused lol

[fluid vault]

So, my lighter went out and it hunted instantly

Onryo?

[versed flame]

That can happen?

[fluid vault]

It's a T3 lighter

It was an Onryo

[vestal ferry]

onryo is any flame. and ghosts can blow out your lighter

[zinc coyote]

oreo

[main meadow]

If a fire source was blown out 2 times before yes

[versed flame]

I only have t1 everything but flash light

[fluid vault]

I had two candles down, I just found out my lighter prevented Onyros

[limber atlas]

hi everyone, what does it mean ticket closed in modmoil?

The message with Modmail has been concluded.

[wise oyster]

When you DM ModMail, a ticket is opened for the issue you wrote about. If it's closed, it's over.

No. Just answering them lol

my b yeah

[wintry prawn]

hello chat

[versed flame]

Hi

[odd vale]

Hi

[wintry prawn]

i forgot i had discord open lol

[final sandal]

@odd vale what is your opinion on shimmering the ghost around a piano on bleasdale?

[slim whale]

Hi mez mez hope your vacation is good

[odd vale]

I don’t play the map often enough to form an opinion

[odd vale]

It has been

[wise oyster]

shimmering? Are you making the ghost sparkle? ✨

[limber atlas]

What to do if phasmophobia gives a client timeout error? chat

[odd vale]

The reply in Modmail before it was closed tells you what to do.

[zinc coyote]

theyre twilight era vampires now

[final sandal]

but it aint a bannable offense right?

[odd vale]

I don’t even know what you mean by shimmering

[wise oyster]

shimmy spots? nah shouldn't be

[zinc coyote]

its an exploit. so debatable

[slim whale]

Sparkling? Are you making the ghost carbonized?

[final sandal]

looping *

[odd vale]

Oh

[wise oyster]

They mean shimmy. When you can move back and forth between a spot the ghost can't get through

[odd vale]

Yeah. I wouldn’t do it to be safe. I don’t think it’s supposed to work that way.

[wise oyster]

It's not a safe spot, so I think technically it's not an exploit. But don't be surprised if they fix it

[zinc coyote]

yea not a safe spot but very easy to abuse. i wouldnt use it, personally

[final sandal]

contemplating to report insym with hours of proof (joke)

[zinc coyote]

just loop or hide

[carmine patrol]

just completed the weekly challenge got 5 lvls(:

[final sandal]

yeah just if its like bannable or not is what makes my heart wonder.

[wise oyster]

I'd be very surprised if action was taken against anyone for using a shimmy spot

[modern mauve]

If you use it in a group, and the group doesn't like it, I'd say there's potential - it's very exploitative of the ghost's pathing. Whether people actually get banned or not, we don't know. In my eyes it's about as safe without being a safe spot as you can get. It'll probably be fixed sooner rather than later, like they did with the Sunny Meadows one

[wise oyster]

so later?

[modern mauve]

Dunno

[prisma laurel]

people also shimmering at the maple lodge

[final sandal]

or standing in a tent, menacingly on CWW..

[zinc coyote]

yea ive seen that one a few times

[prisma laurel]

so scary when u think its gonna come right towards you

[queen lintel]

I just got done with a game on the weekly and my first game was a phantom that REFUSED to give me spirit box despite going through the ENTIRE room like 4 or 5 times

[tribal elk]

My average attempt to get spirit box

[sonic narwhal]

how do you get card themes?

[odd vale]

For your ID badge?

[sonic narwhal]

yes

[queen lintel]

I usually don't have any issues with the spirit box and here I am with the dumb phantom not giving me spirit box making me think it was a goryo not giving me emf 5

[odd vale]

You can complete the challenges shown on the event board or the secret for the lighthouse. Prestiging also gives you a new card.

The other themes that aren’t always available are special events like the forest spirit one we just had, Halloween and winter events.

All other ID cards aren’t really publicly available.

[sonic narwhal]

ok thx

[tribal elk]

Can I ever get cursed hollow badge again?

[odd vale]

The event will be the same next year for it.

[final sandal]

ah yeah the trophy but the badge will be the same ?

[odd vale]

Yep

[zinc coyote]

Probably

[odd vale]

The blog post explains the event continues next year with progress carrying over

[thorn spruce]

Can all ghost blow out igniter flame? Or only onryo?

[vestal ferry]

any

[wise oyster]

it's mostly gonna be Onryo unless you run around with you lighter on for a long time

[strange seal]

helllloo

wait if a candle is on top of a cruxi and the crucie gets used is it onyro?

[wise oyster]

assuming it's not a T3 cruci, that rules out Onryo

[strange seal]

so if its t3 then ?

[wise oyster]

Inconclusive

usually not, but there's a little overlap

[strange seal]

okok wait there is a mod called frosty too !! yippioe

[candid apex]

uhh i thought im finally getting the get killed by demon achievement but turns out i got killed by yokai.. that sucks

20 seconds into the game

[acoustic jay]

Skill issue

how exactly

[acoustic jay]

I got a spirit trowing like a polter

[acoustic jay]

Idk tell me

[candid apex]

well I dont see anything related to skill in that message

nvm

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]

Did you notice the change in the Player Character Overhaul card?

[queen lintel]

I can't believe what most of my ghosts were for the weekly

out of 4 games, 3 of them were dots

phantom (which was a failed game), thaye (figured out using the board), and deo (I got the spirit box response)

the 4th ghost was a myling

[strange seal]

chat ina nightmare rn so if i got 2 evidence can a goryo still show dots ?

[analog widget]

I didn't but yahoo I geuss

[queen lintel]

goryo have to have dots as one of the 2 evidence

[strange seal]

ohh tytyty

[queen lintel]

if it doesn't show dots in nightmare, it's not a goryo since it's forced dots

[strange seal]

tyty

[queen lintel]

same goes with insanity

[strange seal]

its either goes obake or jinn

[queen lintel]

obake is possible with you having uv

[strange seal]

we have uv

but only 5

[analog widget]

Bourbon I wonder if nothing else will be added to the trello board until horror 2.0 is out/everything on the trello must be done before they release horror 2.0/ the full release

minus events

[rugged hemlock]

Can anyone do 15 x for xp

[queen lintel]

it's a chance to get a 6 fingers fingerprint

[modern mauve]

Potentially, I can see HS and Prison making a debut at some stage

[queen lintel]

it's a special feature of the obake

[strange seal]

yea

[queen lintel]

the ability of the obake have nothing to do with the special fingerprints; the ability of the obake is that it lowers the time for uv to be visible

[prisma laurel]

[queen lintel]

I have a cheat sheet and that's what it says for the obake

[analog widget]

I can see horror 2.0 releasing around the middle of the year

[modern mauve]

Well, it seems Player models AND customisation is coming together

So that in of itself leaves plenty of time open for Horror 2.0

We could get it before GTA6

[analog widget]

Because I can imagine that edgefield, ridgeview, and willow street will probably take several months to do them all

[analog widget]

That could mean they are ahead of schedule which is making them able to do character customization or they are putting it back to next year

[analog widget]

I would honestly be okay if they put custimization back to next year

[modern mauve]

They've already predicted Character models for this year, so if they're putting them together, I think we get them in Nov/Dec

[analog widget]

I'm sure it will be great its just I rather see Grafton and the tanglewood rework faster

[vestal ferry]

just cause something gets dropped doesn't mean the work gets faster.

[agile forge]

Hey guys. I'm pretty new to this game. Any advice on learning how to play?

[prisma laurel]

Have u did the training from the menu?

[agile forge]

Indeed I have

[prisma laurel]

I would say to learn the basics from the modes and get used to the evidence so that u can understand hpw it goes

[vale canopy]

Does anyone know what the briefcases are supposed to be in the phasmo equipment area?

[signal arrow]

Can yureis do polty throw

[proven monolith]

I'm surprised that they haven't added a hell hound

[slim whale]

Polty ability no. But every ghist can throw stuff somewhat far

Polty just just on another level

[signal arrow]

Some moron is telling me yurei can copy the polty throw

[slim whale]

Theres a ton of people just just say stupid stuff in publics and they insist that its right. Had a p19 yesterday saying onryo only has a chance to start a hunt after 3 candle blowouts

God i hate people

[prisma laurel]

"Has a chance" 😭

[slim whale]

He was trying to prove it to me by putting 4 candles in the room. "Look hes not hunting. Even after 3 candles"
Like wtf

At p19?

Even more. He was like level 700 something before level reset

[prisma laurel]

Bud aint knowing of 4th blowout resets it

[mental siren]

If I’m playing nightmare and the ghost is hiding ghost writing, will it throw the book

[slim whale]

I ttied to explain it. He goes: "yo idk what trash youtubers you get that from but thats so wrong."
Yeah no

I muted him and kicked after

[slim whale]

Yes

[hexed imp]

If you're playing nightmare use the first 2 evidences to narrow down the ghost and test the few left with their abilities and hunt speeds, you can't eliminate an evidence bcs it didn't happen like in professional

[prisma laurel]

Nightmare and insanity is just about knowledge

[vast pine]

anyone wanna run it im new

"and ghosts with writing evidence can only throw it after writing in it" seen on reddit

[tribal elk]

What's knowledge?

[modern echo]

some of these sound like trolls. Like tell someone playing nightmare that if they activate and throw the music box in the ghost room it will reveal the 3rd evidence.

[prisma laurel]

"I wish for knowledge" type

[south violet]

ghost information like wraith cant step in salt

[tribal elk]

Its a joke that im dumb
I actually know what knowledge is

[prisma laurel]

[rotund kayak]

Can someone give me looping tips i actually cannot outrun any ghost. And I struggle to see it as it always turns the light off 😀

[slim whale]

Have lights on in the looping room if needed
Be crouched (!!!) So the ghost doesnt speed up

[versed ibex]

Walk around object
Profit

[slim whale]

And always keen an eye on the ghost or listen to his footsteps

[rotund kayak]

Oh I’m never crouched 💔

Is that why they go 100mph

[slim whale]

Yes

[slim whale]

Almost every ghost (exept hantu, revenant, thaye and deogen) have line of sight speedup. The longer they see you the faster they get

[rotund kayak]

I usually just run to hiding places but they always get me cos idk how to turn my mic off 🥀

[rotund kayak]

Ahhh okay thank you for the info

[slim whale]

What do you play on?

[rotund kayak]

PC

[versed ibex]

Just use push to talk

[slim whale]

Then i would say use push to talk

[versed ibex]

Or be quiet

HI KRIS

[solemn stream]

deos got that los snail pace

[rotund kayak]

Tried that but my cat meowed into my mic 💔

[solemn stream]

MIMIKYUUUU

[slim whale]

Push to talk works best if you can use it

[versed ibex]

Well that's a you problem that's fixable

[rotund kayak]

Is it the push V to talk

[solemn stream]

yes

and b for walkietalkie

[rotund kayak]

Okay

[slim whale]

I use open mic but can mute myself via playstation controller

[modern echo]

same

[solemn stream]

uuu fancyyyy

[slim whale]

Hope u have a good day 🫂

[slim whale]

On ghosts that are faster than normal speed you might have to use incense and leave either way cuz too fast

[solemn stream]

I'm having a great day. It's warm and nice, and we have a thunderstorm heading our way so imma sleep like a baby tonight 🥰
Hbu?

and thus you begin your solo journey

[slim whale]

I dont talk much in general. Just helping and gaming

[thorn spruce]

Can ghost hear voice from the person using the mic only? Or can it hear the person who's receiving the voice too?

[serene flower]

.

[solemn stream]

the ghost can hear whomever is talking, not so sure about the walkietalkie tho

[final sandal]

van princess can't sell you out in your closet by talking from van.

[thorn spruce]

So van princess can't kill ur teammates? xD

[final sandal]

not with walkie talkie chrr chrr sort of thing. imagine you screaming at the ghost from the other room "he is in the closet next to you" & ghost just kills that guy.

guys im making phasmophobia in minecraft and to make my life easier ima just make the first version, like the weekly challenge. is there anything else i should know thats not in the pinned message thats different to current phasmo

[solemn stream]

pants or underwear?

[analog widget]

ah sad

[undone hedge]

Omfg I hate Goryos with all my might

[strange seal]

quija dosent always work for some reason forme

[arctic stratus]

Anyone have good suggestions for custom difficulties for making money quickly

[wise oyster]

Depends what you normally play

[arctic stratus]

I was thinking 1 evidence at least

0 just seems to take too long to be worth it

For me at least

[wise oyster]

0ev is way faster, b/c once you know how to ID ghosts w/o evidence, you can drop sanity too, and that's when the multiplier really starts going up

[strange seal]

how does one work thw quija board

[arctic stratus]

I have been dropping the sanity with 1 evidence. I just have felt it’s ui let to get 1 evidence and rule out more than half the ghosts then it is to rule them out on 0 evidence

Espically if it’s hrd ghosts like a spirit or goryo

Is there other things that are worth changing for more rewards? Like broken breaker or ghost speed/plyer speed? Haven’t played with lower or higher of them is it a big difficulty change?

[wise oyster]

Plus with 1ev, your rewards are going to be reduced once you go over 7x or 8x, I forget which

[arctic stratus]

Oo I didn’t know that.

[wise oyster]

lower grace period and hiding spots helps

[modern mauve]

If there's ever feedback channels opened up for difficulty related stuff, might suggest a few things :>

[arctic stratus]

Yeah I have no grace and low hiding spots. Haven’t tried none on spots I feel like that’s a big jump?

[wise oyster]

it's a bump, yeah, and you can pick up 0.3x from no cursed item

[arctic stratus]

Yeah that’s another I was starting to do

Same with weather changes. I saw that snow typically makes freezing temps show up faster

[wise oyster]

oh nevermind, 1ev doesn't penalize you

[arctic stratus]

Good to know!

[wise oyster]

2 and 3ev definitely do

[arctic stratus]

I’ve been running 1 at a like 7.5x without changing player or ghost speed. Are those worth changing?

My worry is it’s a lot harder to tell ghost speed cuz I won’t be used to it

[wise oyster]

I don't change them until I'm over 11x personally

[arctic stratus]

Oh wow. What all gets u to 11?

[wise oyster]

0ev

[final sandal]

what is your avg time to finish the map?

[vivid crater]

do not change player speed, only ghost

[wise oyster]

what would your strategy be for sanity and evidence? Would you go in at 0 sanity, get a hunt, and then take pills to collect evidence?

[arctic stratus]

I was doing no sanity pills and staring at 75 sanity

[wise oyster]

oh ok

[broken crescent]

turn off sprint

[arctic stratus]

15-20 I think on 1 ecidence

[final sandal]

minutes?? i mean obv not s hahah

[arctic stratus]

I think I’d rather die😂😂😂

[vivid crater]

set player speed to 50% too

[arctic stratus]

Yeah😂

[broken crescent]

yeah and loop on tangle

[wise oyster]

Once you know the ghost tests, you can do full 0ev games in like 5-7min avg, and 10-12min for harder ghosts, around 10.25-10.75x

[final sandal]

if you go 0 evi 0 sanity, 1 hunt maybe 2 you will avg like 5minute games at most, getting like 3-5k a game

[arctic stratus]

The few times I tried 0evidence ig I just got unlucky cuz I was always getting down to things like spirit, banshee, goryo and I’d get stuck

Idk the tests for them I suppose

I struggle with the incense test 😂

[wise oyster]

Spirit isn't hard, just the smudge timer test. Banshee can be tricky solo but isn't bad; just hang out somewhere away from the ghost with a motion and paramic. Goryo can be rough, that's true

[final sandal]

if you are in for the xp only, just take a guess after 1-2 hunts imo, go next no wasting time.

[solemn stream]

Goryo and banshee can’t move rooms, banshee makes a scream on paramic and spirit can’t hunt for 3 minutes after you smudge it

[wise oyster]

The Cheat Sheet can help with that

[arctic stratus]

Yeah I think this is my biggest issue. I get rub orb then die.

[wise oyster]

still better longterm to build the skills and knowledge to figure them out.

XP for its own sake doesn't really do you much good

[arctic stratus]

Oo ok.

And is it worth to go for perfect runs?

[wise oyster]

not at all currently

that should change in Chronicle

[arctic stratus]

Oh okay cuz I always try😂😂😂

[final sandal]

well if you are learning just spam nightmare, once you know the stuff go no evi no sanity imo. hell get better EV playing prof. than insanity with 20min games

[wise oyster]

The bonus is worth the same as 1 extra $25 objective, but takes more time and effort than any objective

[arctic stratus]

So ignore pictures or ignore side quests? Or both

[final sandal]

ignore events, other stuff is easy, on CWW i ignore cruci too

[wise oyster]

Objectives are good b/c they're easy, photos are not worth it unless you're doing Perfect, which also usually isnt' worth it

[arctic stratus]

Okay so just go for ghost and objectives. That makes sense. Prob why my runs take longer too.

The damn parabolic mic takes foreverrr sometimes

[wise oyster]

yeah simple ones like that I'll usually do, unless I'm like 1-hunt speedrunning

I'll usually skip ghost photo

[tropic ridge]

Guys

[arctic stratus]

Ok that’s fair

[tropic ridge]

It says gullible on the ceiling of the sunny meadows cathedral

im being so serious😭

[final sandal]

again, if you just want exp ask yourself what is better, 4 games in 20minutes, each for 1600xp (6400xp total) or 1 game for 2k exp?

[arctic stratus]

Yeah I think I just gotta set a timer/ hunt limit and if I don’t get the ghost take a guess and leave

[wise oyster]

I have nothing against doing stuff like CWW 1-hunts and just leaving on the harder ghosts. Just don't do that before you know how to ID all the ghosts on a normal 0ev game

Too many people get into the quick XP and end up with big gaps in knowledge

[arctic stratus]

I have been doing good with most but not all the ghosts.

I mainly wanna get tier 3 items so I can start going for apoc runs

[wise oyster]

well, going from 1ev to 0ev gives almost 2.00x in rewards. Dropping from 75 to 0 sanity gives you another 0.75x. Big jumps. That's why even if you play breaker on and sprint, 0/0 games can be quick and lucrative

[prisma laurel]

Are players able to grab player stuff while dead?

[wise oyster]

My 0/0 with normal speeds, sprint, and breaker starting on is 10.22x with 1s grace, 10.72x with 0s

[wise oyster]

no

[prisma laurel]

Then I might be dealing with a cheater then

[arctic stratus]

I tried 0 grace and kept dieing😂

[wise oyster]

yeah for the longest time I kept it at 1s. It's a different game with 0

I made a meme about it

[arctic stratus]

I have been doing 2s as I was tired of dieing😂😂

[modern mauve]

don't stick around the ghost room too much outside of the smudge periods / without crucifixes

[wise oyster]

yeah that's fine, whatever you're comfortable with. Just play with the settings and see if the extra rewards are attractive enough to take the risk.

[arctic stratus]

Might try the same I have rn but do 0 evidence instead of 1 and try that

[exotic harbor]

Meanwhile me with the Yokai blasting music through the mic :

[wise oyster]

yeah you're thinking in the right directions. Just fiddle with it a little at a time and play a few games to see what works for you

[arctic stratus]

Thank you!

[exotic harbor]

Rewards multiplier 15x on Tanglewood is fun 🗿👌, try it

[wise oyster]

Ever gotten a Phantom hunt photo during a 15x blood moon?

oh wait wrong video

[prisma laurel]

Where do I go to report cheaters again?

[wise oyster]

this one

[wise oyster]

Recent Players tab, DM add'l evidence to @violet nova

[exotic harbor]

I had a wraith twice on Tanglewood with over 13 events on top of me so yeah

[final sandal]

from experience, if you aint got clip or screenshots or something just in game is enough

[prisma laurel]

Nah I got clips of it

[final sandal]

than @violet nova as mentioned by Van

[exotic harbor]

And for tehe apoc3 on Sunny Meadows i was lucky to have a Deogen

[wise oyster]

also do the in-game report, too. they always want that.

[prisma laurel]

Yeah I did that too

[tribal elk]

@prisma laurel what's going on?

[wise oyster]

Just cleaning up the trash to make our community cleaner.

[tribal elk]

Understandable
Have a great day

[exotic harbor]

[prisma laurel]

[wise oyster]

hehe that's great

[frank grove]

i still have no idea why people would cheat on phasmo, like literally you earn 0 gain and 0 fun

[wise oyster]

My best guess is kids who don't appreciate that once you start cheating in a game, you're not gonna have fun for very much longer

[exotic harbor]

People said getting better makes the game boring, which is not true also

[prisma laurel]

Dude was cheating by turning on the breaker while it was broken

[final sandal]

now that i think of it, i never saw cheater with a lot of hours. usually at most a 100

[exotic harbor]

Imagine The Twins can hunt at the same time, 2 ghosts hunting
Or at least one hunting and the other jumpscares you with events mid hunt

[analog widget]

most cheaters are losers who don't want to grind to p20

so they use cheats

[final sandal]

but i aint mad, its so satisfying to go through my modmail report messages seeing all their steam accounts with a nice "game ban"

[solemn stream]

getting better makes it so much funnier when you get the ghost wrong or die stupidly

[exotic harbor]

I had a Jinn who refused to hunt for 4 minutes, didn't change the ghost room, didn't do interactions when i am in a room with it
It's fun when the game fools you

[wise oyster]

broken breaker?

[exotic harbor]

Yeah

[wise oyster]

RIP

[exotic harbor]

I always play on broken breaker

[solemn stream]

i had an oni once that full on sprinted 3 hunts in a row

the game do be throwing us curveballs

[wise oyster]

@modern mauve I've thought out it, and while I don't think we'll get any surprise like new ghost type, I wouldn't mind seeing at least a first pass attempt at some tweaks to existing ghosts

[final sandal]

best bug imo is the invisible ghost

[exotic harbor]

I had an oni with normal blinks
But i guess this was my laptop dying after 12 hours session

[wise oyster]

That bug coming up on 2 years old in August

[modern mauve]

That I would be down to see 100000000%

[frank grove]

and tbh its useless to ban them anw

[solemn stream]

it's satisfying

[modern mauve]

Give Yurei and Goryo something extra with video recording, or sound recording

[wise oyster]

I was thinking fixing Mare and broken breaker Jinn, but I like those too

[modern mauve]

Remove light switches, and extra chance for breaking lights for Mare

Make it the blank ghost that it already is

[solemn stream]

double door touch recording gives $50

[modern mauve]

(I'm joking)

[modern mauve]

That would be useless as a tell

[exotic harbor]

Yurei should have the ability to slam all doors shut

As of Horror 2.0

[modern mauve]

Agreed with these

I'd like something to test with all four of them...something more than they have anyway

[wise oyster]

and while we're at it, what the hell move Deo breathing to Yokai 😏

[solemn stream]

eehh would be funny tho

[exotic harbor]

No, Don't ruin my boy Deo

[wise oyster]

Deo doesn't need any help

[final sandal]

naaah, you cheat? = straight to jail. (meme)

[modern mauve]

Have Raiju retain LoS speed, even after it speeds up around electronics

[solemn stream]

it does seem like something a yokai should have rather than a deo

[exotic harbor]

It's fun to walk a Deo tho, yeah

[wise oyster]

You get spirit box breath, and a shiver runs down your spine as you realize you're standing right on top of a Yokai...and you just gave it an 80% threshold.

[solemn stream]

who's taking notes??

[modern mauve]

But yes, the ghost change wishlist aside, I think this is a good opportunity to integrate sound and video evidence into some ghost tells

[wise oyster]

I've been advocating for that for a while now

[exotic harbor]

Raiju should give fake spikes for emf for example to throw you off, glitches your equipments out of hunts but in a way that doesn't seem obvious

[solemn stream]

louder

[exotic harbor]

Also as for horror 2.0

[wise oyster]

📣

[exotic harbor]

A mare also has nothing special

[solemn stream]

[exotic harbor]

And onryo too

[solemn stream]

[wise oyster]

For Mare, I'd be happy with 2 changes: Disallow other ghosts from turning off a light switch within 5s of the player turning it on, and extend Mare's ability to be the whole room in addition to a 4m radius.

[exotic harbor]

I barely do that btw

I don't spam the light every game 😂

[solemn stream]

i do it for 5 secs then i get bored and start cussing the ghost out

[exotic harbor]

First one approved
A jinn turned the light off and threw my investigation

[prisma laurel]

Cheater encounter, that's all

[exotic harbor]

I wish for Yurie ability for example to slam shut all doors at once as of a horror event

Same for mare to turn off all lightswitches

[thorn spruce]

It's in this discord?

[vivid crater]

It used to work like this

[exotic harbor]

I played a game, it's like backrooms idea
It had a monster that copies you, uses your recorded audio in game from the in game vc and rooms to hunt you

I wish mimic can do that too

[exotic harbor]

I wasn't there yet :<

[bright spear]

[arctic stratus]

I agree and think mimic has some room to get abilities to mimic players/humans (why only minic ghosts?)

Stuff like repeating a phrase someone said through the parabolic.

Appearing in an event and looking like a human model instead.

[arctic stratus]

Agreeing with you^^

[floral notch]

Does anyone know what the world record is for fastest time to complete sunny meadows apocalypse 3?

[wise oyster]

I would imagine it's around 2 minutes

[broken crescent]

1 second 🗣️‼️

[wise oyster]

Medium hunt length to shave 10 seconds off, reroll for a Deo and photo/smudge/escape objectives.

[floral notch]

I was asking because I just completed it in 2:33 as my first attempt and couldn’t find any good info online about what the fastest time was

[wise oyster]

that's pretty good. Idk if the SpeedRun site has a category for Apoc or not..

yes they do

[floral notch]

It does but nobody has posted any times on apocalypse

At least not on solo category

[surreal vessel]

currently crying as ive had 2 runs on tangle where my stuff falls through the couch rip my only thermo

[wise oyster]

yeah i only see one on Perfect%

[thorn spruce]

Hmm im just thinking, if u get a real lucky Phantom that just does a ghost event at the front door, that's prolly the fastest apoc run u can ever get? 0 hunts

[floral notch]

Oh ok that’s perfect investigation tho so be longer cuz the bone

[wise oyster]

yup

[floral notch]

Depends on the optional objectives as you need to do all 3 for the badges but if it’s just for ghost then yeah that’s fastest

[wise oyster]

you got a full video of yours?

[floral notch]

Not a full video as the recording cut off the start where I incensed the ghost but I uploaded the part I got which shows what the optional were and the final time at the end

As well as showing me getting all 3 apocalypse badges

[wise oyster]

They have pretty strict rules. You need from the frame you load into the truck til the end.

They don't go by in-game timer, b/c that doesn't start til you open the front door

[floral notch]

Yeah I know but I still got it on my channel anyway but only the in-game timer not an official timer

[thorn spruce]

Time to retry for sub 2!

[floral notch]

Yep I know and I don’t think I can get a better run than that I only got lucky with my optionals lol literally I got capture a ghost photo and both the incense objectives and a deo

[bright spear]

[trim igloo]

Just a question even if it’s weird, can I ask the pickle question on console

[magic tiger]

If you can get Speech to work with ouija. All it detects is the "How many" part

[wise oyster]

no

that only works b/c Windows ("System Voice") does a fuzzy match and hears "how many people". Vosk won't do that

[trim igloo]

Ah ok, I was just confused as my friend tried it on console and it wasn’t working and we weren’t sure if it meant they had blacklisted the question or if the ghosts didn’t have an ai that let them respond to anything

[wise oyster]

yeah it's just a technical loophole that makes the joke questions work on PC

[reef ledge]

@hexed imp @magic tiger i just did the onryo testing, i can now confirm that when a onryo uses a candle as a crucifix it does in fact count towards the next forced candle hunt count

[wise oyster]

Yes, all blowouts count

[reef ledge]

Mhm there were a lot of people saying it did and didnt count so i had to test it myself

[slim whale]

Haiw vam van

[stuck venture]

i just got 2 bloodmoons with four games in between each, is this a rare occurrence?

this is my third in 2 days

Not too rare no. Blood moons are like a 1% chance

Okay, thanks.

Greetings Mimi

[inner canyon]

I feel like this game is just a parody of ghost adventures and you play as Zack bagans.

[prisma laurel]

[thorn spruce]

hi i am ready-uped

[slim whale]

Hug?

[thorn spruce]

Yes hugs! As long no ghost hugs!

Earlier, I played in another region and since there's no way to test the ping, I got killed like when the ghost was 2-3m away. Kinda crazyy

[lucid grotto]

Do you need perfect investigation to get apoc 3?

[glacial stag]

no

[prime elk]

Note: Earning a higher level trophy will reward the lower level trophy

[glacial stag]

you just need to fulfill these requirements

[lucid grotto]

Godsend😩

[glacial stag]

though there are people insane enough to do a perfect apoc 3

[lucid grotto]

Yeah the problem is timing of ghost photos if it isn’t an event which is unlikely and it’ll most likely be a hunt, then getting a ghost photo sucks because I have terrible timing.

I swear everytime it’s an event I’m running to get that photo😭😭

[thorn spruce]

No need to find bone is so good haha

[lucid grotto]

That too😅

[thorn spruce]

I think u need to be within like a 15m range to get a ghost event? So gotta be close to the ghost room.

Id rather lure it to me and spam the photos and pray XD

[lucid grotto]

Yeah that’s why I asked if I need a perfect game because if not I’m spammmmming photos

Honestly I just hope I get a oni or deo

Phantom would suck

[thorn spruce]

Its hard to see the ghost in the dark. I prolly wouldnt be able to tell if its an oni haha

Ppl say, timing the ghost photo is better than click and pray

[analog widget]

it is

[fluid vault]

Flashbacks of hell

[fluid vault]

Much less even attempt it

[reef ledge]

my friend had me turn my brightness all the way up on my computer and it makes it sooo much easier to see in the dark, idk if this is cheating but i could never survive hunts before this lol

[fluid vault]

No, you're using your system and the games option so that's not cheating

[thorn spruce]

With nvidia filter, i could turn gamma and brightness wayyy high that i can see everything yeah. But it isnt as spooky xD so i only turn it up abit

[fluid vault]

Won't do ya much when you have a Phantom

Now that I have Apoc 3, I want more challenges to complete

More adrenaline infused challenges that can get my blood boiling and my determination burning

[prisma laurel]

Banshee

[fluid vault]

Banshees are easy, you always have a crucifix on ya anyways

[fallow spruce]

can someone teach me how to play

[prisma laurel]

Wraith?

[fluid vault]

-lfg

[prime elk]

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

[fluid vault]

Put salt on crucifix

[prisma laurel]

Or just have an emf underneath you?

[fluid vault]

You see, that's the boooring method

I see my crucifix burn once, I know it's either Wraith, Phantom or Banshee, it'll be roaming to me anyways, put salt on crucfix and you got Wraith out if it steps on it

And how you find out Phantom is that you'll need a photo of it anyways

So you'll find out either way

You don't gotta do everything at the same time

[thorn spruce]

Perfect game apoc 3

[fluid vault]

I'm not going in that hellhole again!

Give me a challenge in prison

Something that gives me a cool badge and ID card

[thorn spruce]

Apoc 3 in prison!?

[fluid vault]

I'd do it if it gives me an ID card

[thorn spruce]

Complete apoc 3 again without a deo. Xd

[fluid vault]

And badge

[analog widget]

Imagine needing a deo to complete apoc 3 pathetic

I did it with a spirit

[versed ibex]

With a deo just ruins the whole point of it

[fluid vault]

Okay buddy, FIGHT ME

[prisma laurel]

Ez I completed mines with a raiju

[versed ibex]

Apoc is meant to be a challenge and it isn't with a deo

[thorn spruce]

Ahaha. I did mine with a speedy rev. VROOOOM!

[fluid vault]

I admit I got lucky, but to be honest I deserved that deo spoiling me with it's presence

23.8 hours wasted ain't something to be proud of it, so the deo just ended that cycle

[versed ibex]

That just means you weren't ready for apoc

[fluid vault]

I managed.

[versed ibex]

Clearly you weren't if it actually took you nearly 24 hours

[fluid vault]

That's how much I had roamer ghosts that spawned on the corner of my damn crucifix!

[versed ibex]

It be like that sometimes

My first win took me 3 hours of attempts

[fluid vault]

I went in with a T2 para mic and T2 firelight

I admit I should've grinded a bit for higher stuff, but with the update rollin' in I can't risk it being potentially harder for me

[thorn spruce]

Took around 3 hrs of attempts for me too. Still cant believe i snapped the speedy rev ghost photo lmao. A win is a win!

[versed ibex]

Crazy cause my first was a rev too

On console

[uncut pagoda]

Rip

[thorn spruce]

I grinded quite a lot cww for that t3 paramic xd

[fluid vault]

I wonder how that went.

I prefer Tanglewood on my grinds

Fast and easy

[magic tiger]

Fridgeview is my grinding map

[fluid vault]

1 salt in the foyer, another in the living room and another in the kitchen area

[wise oyster]

that sidewalk though

[thorn spruce]

Many viable strats

[fluid vault]

What map do you grind on then?

[magic tiger]

Sidewalk?

[wise oyster]

depends on the game. If it's a house map, usually Willow, which has a bit of a hike itself

[wise oyster]

yes the paved path from the truck to the porch.

[fluid vault]

Other than Willow?

[magic tiger]

Oh you worry about the distance to the house. . . Lol you lose no sanity to and from.

[wise oyster]

CWW if speedrunning

[magic tiger]

Atleast it ain't highschool

[lavish estuary]

irl i do lose a lot of sanity walking those sidewalks

[wise oyster]

I'm going in w/ 0 sanity already. I'm talking about time

[magic tiger]

Shit.

[versed ibex]

I like highschool

[magic tiger]

Mission accomplished

[fluid vault]

Good job, comrade

[magic tiger]

Says nobody ever

[versed ibex]

Says me

Obviously it has issues cause it's big and empty

[lavish estuary]

are you a teacher

[magic tiger]

Have you said it for irl tho.

[versed ibex]

But that's what I like about it

[fluid vault]

So you'd want to spend hours finding a Sahde's ghost room?

[versed ibex]

Oh hell nah I'm so fucking happy to be out of highschool

[lavish estuary]

[magic tiger]

Highschool needs student/teacher base ghost events

[wise oyster]

lots of people like high school. I'm not the biggest fan, but they're out there

[versed ibex]

I'm awaiting its rework I hope it's still just as large

[fluid vault]

I don't hate it either, it's just not my feel

[versed ibex]

I like the large rooms

[wise oyster]

big, small, whatever. it just needs more personality and all the things that entails

[versed ibex]

Highschool was one of the maps I played on the most while getting into the game playing public lobbies 3½ years ago so it holds a lotta nostalgia to me like Tanglewood does for most people

[modern mauve]

More items, more room variety

[fluid vault]

Give us a teacher ghost model exclusive to high school

[wise oyster]

I wouldn't have a problem with map-specific model at all. That'd be fun

[fluid vault]

Or maybe the post death where it takes you to that chamber, make it a classroom instead with the teacher standing at the very front and the light shatters like normal

[magic tiger]

If y'all start saying You like prison then we have a problem

[fluid vault]

Oh no, I'm not that insane

[vale escarp]

hello i just got phasmaphobia and for some reason when I leveled up to level 3 it says I can buy vintage camera so I bought it, but I don’t know where it is can someone help me ?:(

[fluid vault]

You know the screen to the right of the board where you start the game?

[magic tiger]

Good. For a second there I thought we would have to send you to Sunny meadowz

[vale escarp]

yea but it’s not there for some reason

[fluid vault]

Restricted or not?

[fluid vault]

Enter singleplayer mode and maybe you'd find it
