[bold wave]

why is the update so slow and not came out for so long like are there 5 people coding it?

[odd vale]

@bold wave a year and a half ago there were only 5 people in the entire studio. This year has been continuous hirings. I’ve no doubt that after this next update will have new content more often than we’ve had in a while. Last I recall there were only 8 programmers

[magic tiger]

Updates shouldn't be rushed or you'd be met with a game that's full of bugs. Like cyberpunk 2077 on release

[prime elk]

So when you pick up an item at the same time as someone when dead you know how it doesn't let you pick up anything else. I found where that item lives

[rugged heart]

Guys why doesnt my haedgaer give me light?

[leaden ivy]

its either t1 or you have flashlights off as a setting

[odd vale]

Only tier 2 does. And to activate you have to press a button

[chilly star]

So when you pick up an item at the same time as someone it goes into your alt switch, when dead it means you cannot change or pick up anything. This item goes over to the beyond

[odd vale]

Like on PC is hold T

[rugged heart]

wwwwwe ejust got it so its t1

[odd vale]

That is a camera

[leaden ivy]

T1 is camera only which makes it terrible

[rugged heart]

bruh

[amber tiger]

are the servers down?

[gilded canyon]

do you also have the same issue ?

[prime elk]

Steam performs weekly maintenance every Tuesday, thus possibly being the reason for troubles purchasing the game or maintaining connection. Please be patient while Valve completes their weekly routine.

[amber tiger]

yes says my cloud save hasnt worked then cant get past initializing

[gilded canyon]

yea

[finite parrot]

same

[leaden ivy]

It's weekly steam maintenance

This happens every week

[chilly star]

T1 head gear is goated for small maps and when you want to just have one player chill in the van but still wanna play together.

[amber tiger]

ok thanks!

[leaden ivy]

"only useful when on a small map and have a van teammate" is the king of all situational items ever

[chilly star]

Nothing wrong with situational items. Heck sound sensors are junk, but in multiplayer they're still great to have down in case someone is in the van during a hunt they can at least listen in.

[leaden ivy]

have you honestly, truly, ever actually used a sound sensor

[chilly star]

Consistently

[zinc coyote]

[chilly star]

Just a different play style. In a four man crew, there is a high chance someone is in the van during a hunt. Small or large map.

[leaden ivy]

I have never been a part of any group of any skill level that actually even bothered to bring in sound sensors

you have the rarest play style out there

[chilly star]

Do you just stand around in the house then just watching a room get cold?

[leaden ivy]

No, typically I rush straight to a looping spot because the games I play typically have the ghost hunt within 5 seconds of entering the building

and when I was new we kept bringing in like every copy of evidence gathering items for more coverage

[vestal ferry]

-gabbin

Heck i messed up

[odd vale]

gaben

[pale trail]

When the ghost resources on this discord say "Jinn's can't directly turn off a breaker" is that meaning there's another way they can cause it to turn off? 🤔

[shrewd vigil]

My group does it for large maps like brownstone. It's sometimes useful to figure out where on earth the ghost is when the ghost is being quiet

[odd vale]

It leaves an EMF signal at it, I believe.

[shrewd vigil]

Yes. Jinn can turn on light switches, and if too many lights are on at once the breaker will trip

[chilly star]

I'd say zero evidence looping is a more rare playstyle than evidence gathering shenanigans

[pale trail]

Ohhh I see I see! Tyy

[slim whale]

-grabbin

[leaden ivy]

Either it's a newbie lobby and everyone brings in a ton of evidence stuff or it's a high level lobby and people do 0 evidence for maximum exp gain. I would easily argue those are the most common ways to play out there

[chilly star]

What would you do after all evidence is in. though? You bring in the fun stuff

[leaden ivy]

You mark down what evidence was triggered and leave? lol

[chilly star]

Evidence stuff with 4 people is... two trips each

waiting on freezing, dots, writing (emf occasionally). Bringing in the gear doesn't instantly make the ghost leave it

Especially NM/Insanity levels.

[stray hedge]

Am i the only one who hates the ghost writing animation

[pale trail]

Why? 👀

[leaden ivy]

no. but especially if you're on a larger map i don't see why someone would bring in something, set it up, and then expect to get any use out of it at that point

[chilly star]

why have 4 people standing around idle in a ghost room

[stray hedge]

i believe it is too goofy it was better when it did it instantly like you can tell it’s writing from HEARING it now instead of actually looking at it

[leaden ivy]

by the time you've all brought up and set up evidence someone has to make a third trip for the sensors and whatnot then go back "again" to be the van person, and if you're in a group that needs evidence to figure out the ghost type none of them are going to have the experience necessary to do anything with the sound sensor results

[stray hedge]

i think the animation takes the horror out of it

[leaden ivy]

unless your point is "well its something to do so you don't stand around waiting for evidence" in which case is about all i can grant it

[chilly star]

learning ghost speed starts somewhere. Sound sensor

[leaden ivy]

Or just hide and listen

inside the building

[pale trail]

Ohh I can definitely see that yeah

[stray hedge]

like it was more scary when it did it instantly because u didn’t know it was writing unless u looked directly at it nowadays i always hear it then look it should be the opposite

[chilly star]

No difference between sound sensors and inside the map. And people can relax more

[stray hedge]

ngl they should add a suggestion chat

[modern mauve]

I sometimes use sound sensors if I'm playing some 0/0 and listening for specific sounds/abilities

[odd vale]

They once had suggestions. They have a solid view on what they want so I don’t see them accepting any more suggestions. They’ll have feedback forums open sometimes but those are focused on a certain topic.

[leaden ivy]

Inside the map you can follow it if it goes out of range, can't with sensors. Also hiding should already be incredibly relaxing as is

[stray hedge]

yeah i remember they once had them. honestly they just need to work on making the game scarier(i know it’s in horror 2.0) because nowadays all i see are streamers acting like this is a speed run game

it needs that first release type of feeling when no one knew what was going on

[odd vale]

I don’t think the focus is scares. I think it’s investigations.

[vestal ferry]

Too many light switches get turned on yes

[stray hedge]

yeah i see there leaning that way but they need to at least give the game a horror boost because it seems like if the game isn’t scary and it’s just investigations it will get repetitive if it’s scary it will give the spice that drives u back in

[pale trail]

Ngl I didn't even know that too many lights on could do that ehehe

I don't like playing alone so I usually wait for my friends to be free

[stray hedge]

like allowing the ghost to interact way more with the environment

all it does is throw cups and open doors

[chilly star]

Sound sensors have good coverage even at tier 1. Never goes out of range. And bigger range than hiding spots regardless (:

[modern mauve]

Horror 2.0 is planned for next year, gotta be patient

[leaden ivy]

they can absolutely go out of range especially on larger maps

[stray hedge]

if horror 2.0 is a hit this gsme will skyrocket more than it already has

[leaden ivy]

look i'm not saying its wrong to use sound sensors i'm just pointing out for 98% of the playerbase they're dead weight

[stray hedge]

This is such a unique game

ngl they should make ghosts go on the wall and ceiling too

[trail inlet]

anyone else got an bug where the ghost is stuck and cant move? ive had that for about 4 rounds now and im wondering if anyone else has it

[leaden ivy]

are you sure that's not a ghost event

[pale trail]

I think I'd cry if I saw that

[trail inlet]

yep. Ghost is def hunting but somehow always stuck

[stray hedge]

that would be nightmare fuel which is good for this game if i saw a ghost on the ceiling i would lose it

[zinc coyote]

what map

[trail inlet]

all maps for some reason happend on Highschool and Tanglewood by now

[stray hedge]

also correct me if i’m wrong but didn’t they use to have events where the ghost would like run past a hall or something

[chilly star]

That might be demonology

[stray hedge]

hm maybe

[unreal crown]

6 😉

[pale trail]

Ngl though I am already a chickenshit rn, that's why I'm trying to watch more videos on different audio for different speeds cause idk how well I'd be able to identify it while I'm panicking

[stray hedge]

ight this my last idea then im out imagine a event where the ghost sits behind you and waits until you turn and it jumps at you and dissapears 😏

[modern mauve]

Howdy Shuee!

[odd vale]

Thanks!

[stray hedge]

Yeah it’s the first thing i look for is how fast it is when it sees me

[pale trail]

I think the blinking is what throws me off everytime

[unreal crown]

BonBon!!

[stray hedge]

yes that’s a good detail they did it it didn’t blink i would be fine but it blinking gives u notice that it can be right up to you in a second

[pale trail]

Frfr, I've been trying to make my own guides to each of the ghosts cause I sometimes struggle to understand info unless I write it myself 🤔

[small stratus]

does this server have a server tag? or does anyone know where to find the list of them? having trouble in settings

[odd vale]

It doesn’t yet.

[small stratus]

nvm I got it, had to edit user profile

and ty for the answer 🙂

[shut fjord]

what is tag in sever

[warped heart]

normal that the ghost just won't move while hunting on profi, nightmare and Challenge mode?

[odd vale]

Like how next to my name it says FREN - that’s a tag from another server.

[shut fjord]

oh how do you get them

[vestal ferry]

Just be a in a server with them. May need nitro to use it. Not sure

[lament pond]

whats the button for in game chat i forgor

[shut fjord]

on key board its b or v

[zinc coyote]

V for local B for global

Or if youre weird like me theyre your side mouse buttons

[shut fjord]

that sounds better

[zinc coyote]

whichever feels better

[shut fjord]

i am going to change mine

[lyric egret]

whats the best way to test VOICE recognition

[shut fjord]

in the audio it has a blue bar that should show if it can here you

[odd vale]

For voice rec you can load into training and do the sprint box

[odd vale]

This means the game hears you for VC but VC and voice rec are different

[shut fjord]

oh

[vestal ferry]

For spirit box. Load into a round. In the truck test the spirit box. Itll give a light indicator if its working or not for recognition.

[lyric egret]

js means it can hear u overall

[vestal ferry]

Training is fine as well. But sometimes you may not wanna go through the rest of it

[lyric egret]

alt f4

[vestal ferry]

damn we had the spirit box imagine pinned. Whered it go

[vestal ferry]

We actually dont recommend alt-f4. Can mess with save file

[strange flint]

Does the campfire on camp woodwind count as a light?

Like something the mare can't ignite?

[lyric egret]

aww

[wise oyster]

Onryo*, but yes.

Mare has no connection to fire

[strange flint]

Sweet thank you

[magic tiger]

The onryo cant fight back against users with potato PC's.

Or even VR players.

That campfire can be very laggy in VR.

[shut fjord]

whats a potato pc

[magic tiger]

PC's that arent good at gaming

[shut fjord]

oh

[south violet]

There's lots of different visual bugs some of them can be fixed by just turning certain options off use the channels provided above to see if your issue fits any known cases.

[oblique wolf]

👍

[lyric egret]

spirit box is the bit JUST before the last bit which takes 10 seconds to complete

anyways gotit work it works flawlessly now

[remote field]

Hello

[zinc coyote]

hi

[strange flint]

I know phasmophobia better than I know myself. I'll walk outside on a cold day and think "must be a hantu" when the power goes out I think "definitely a mare" when my door closes I utter "yurei" then leave the room. I eat sleep and breathe phasmophobia. If there's no phasmophobia then there's no me.

[vestal ferry]

I finally found the image i was looking for cause you can test it in the truck

[shut fjord]

goose are you ok

[strange flint]

No

[topaz star]

[lofty nest]

Okay guys, I got a gear question How many of you IRL investigators use microcassette recorders?

[zenith lake]

hey, could a obake hunt a 99% (through sanity meds) player if there is a 0% sanity player in the truck?

[magic tiger]

Multiplayer hunts based on average sanity. Except banshee

[zenith lake]

i see

thank you

[mental anchor]

I might cry I was on 0 evidence and was 100% certain it was a revenant by the hunt and it was a mimic.

[zenith lake]

freaking frackin mimics

[mental anchor]

Out of all things it was a mimic

[analog agate]

Dude I came up with an amazing phasmo fanfic

[river sorrel]

between who

[wise oyster]

send it to Blumhouse

[river sorrel]

yeah

it could be a romance instead

[analog agate]

idk how its even called haha, not a fanfic, its more like a wholesome story

well, its a ghost story, but i came up with the idea after playing phasmo for a bit

haha

[river sorrel]

giggler

[analog agate]

yesyes

i wanna tell my plot but i dont want to at the same time lool

[zinc coyote]

I would guess #fan-creations would bea good spot to share it if you wanted to

[analog agate]

i guess, but im afraid of someone stealing my idea, y'know?? haha 😭

[cerulean meteor]

Hey does anybody know for sure if a ghost player counts as a "player in the room" for the Goryo dots? Like can I be dead and chill in the ghost room and they still get Goryo dots? Also hi again Vandelay lol

[analog agate]

i'm not a writer by any means

but i think i have a cool story i with to tell

[zinc coyote]

Id they do, theyre stinky

[analog agate]

yesyes, very

[cerulean meteor]

I don't wanna like...@ the mods or anything cause that's rude but like...apparently nobody has ever asked this question anywhere on the internet that I can find lol

[river sorrel]

fairly positive dead players dont count

[prisma laurel]

Like goryos

[zinc coyote]

And shades

[shut fjord]

is there going to be more speical bage challeges

[zinc coyote]

In the future probably

[shut fjord]

ok nice

one week

[river sorrel]

when can i fight the ghost

[shut fjord]

when you find a gun

[zinc coyote]

Prestige 20

You unlock boxing gloves

[strange flint]

No way, does the ghost get a pair also?

[zinc coyote]

If it touches you once you die

[strange flint]

Oh. I'll just tape a crucifix to each hand

The ghost will never see it coming

[royal kindle]

So if you cause a cursed hunt by cranking the music box and throwing it and you hide will it mark off the object escape the ghost during a hunt?

[vestal ferry]

It must see you during the hunt and everyone must survive

[royal kindle]

Oh

Thanks

[cedar girder]

Did they update anything recently

[vernal storm]

how does the mimic work? assume im playing on 2 evidence, the ghost decides to mimic an onryo, with box, temps, and orbs, if i have a mimic can it copy the orbs forcing my two types of evidence to either be temps and orbs or box and orbs or does it have to be box and temps since the orbs of a mimic are technically fake

[shut fjord]

i dont think so but the biggest update yet is in a week

[wide rock]

Mimic will always show orbs, even in 0 evidence games. If you see orbs in a 0 evidence game, it's a mimic as it's not possible for any other ghost to show anything

For this instance in your 2 evidence game - you're currently seeing 3 evidence which isn't possible unless it's a mimic

Because they always show orbs which is "fake" evidence.

[vernal storm]

no i only saw 2, orbs and box, but i was wondering if the mimic can copy the orbs or not

or if it has to copy box and temps

since orbs are fake

[vestal ferry]

Mimic doesnt mimic evidence.
It will always be #ev + orbs

Mimc has its own 3 evidence + orbs

[wide rock]

Whatever evidence mimic shows in the journal is mimics actual evidence. Orbs is obviously fake, but will always show

[vernal storm]

i understand now, thank you guys

[kind gale]

Gonna cry if they make mimics mimic a player. It'd be cool and worth lots for photos, as for a rare sighting if it ever did happen in game. Just hope they don't...

[shut fjord]

that would be scary

@shut fjordhi

[lyric egret]

Ooo

[zealous rune]

I’ve recently started hearing like giggling on parabolic is that new or have I just gotten really unlucky

[pliant steeple]

chances of someone putting racist symbols getting banned?

[kind gale]

More than scary dude

[wise oyster]

giggling prolly from ghost interacting w/ a stuffed animal

[kind gale]

I feel like thats common sense

[pliant steeple]

good

[shut fjord]

ya

[pliant steeple]

i hope after the report he gets banned🙏

[kind gale]

NOW IM CURIOUS

[shut fjord]

what did he do

[kind gale]

I think someone had some fun while we was gone

Not the good fun either

[pliant steeple]

he joined my lobby begging for someone to talk.we got in game and he started griefing randomly

[kind gale]

Oh...

[kind gale]

Just hope this doesn't happen tho 😂

Im curious tho

What happens if a mimic, mimics a mimic

[main meadow]

Just like when it does mimic a player it becomes a basic ghost until it changes with no extra power or abilities

[kind gale]

XD

No bro i mean like, backrooms mimics

Where they look like us

[main meadow]

Listen all I know is when it does mimic a player I think that it should only be able to run for 3 seconds then have to stop for breath in a hunt

[kind gale]

BRO THATD BE SO TRUE TOO

[main meadow]

[kind gale]

Thats how deogens be tho ngl

[shut fjord]

i hope they make that a feture

[kind gale]

NO BRO. IMAGINE THEY FOLLOWED YOU AROUND WHEN YOU DONT REALIZE, UNTIL THE REAL ONE WALKS BY

[shut fjord]

ya and it talks

[main meadow]

Voice recording is iffy in a lot of countrys, that's why vivox is banned in some places

[kind gale]

Imagine Phasmophobia admin seeing this, and noting it for the update after this

[main meadow]

It's not viable if you want to try to sell everywhere

[main meadow]

Admins have nothing to do with game development. However one is a banana.

[kind gale]

😂

[shut fjord]

it would be a goood uddate

dose any one what do grind the ranger challage

[cerulean meteor]

Does anybody know if sound sensors count for Raiju

[shut fjord]

ya it does

[cerulean meteor]

And also if a Raiju only needs one piece of equipment to speed up or do I gotta have multiple

[zealous rune]

It’s easier with multiple

No reason to not try multiple things

[mossy mason]

it only needs one - iirc it's a 6-meter range for the speedup on small maps

[zealous rune]

I thought it got faster with more I’m sorry

[warped lark]

Just got a myling in 30 seconds

I walked in, it touched absolutely everything, it threw about 20 things in total, and it wrote immediately

W Ghost

[lime holly]

do u mean poltergeist

[atomic leaf]

?

[mossy mason]

you're good - everyone makes a mistake in their knowledge here and there, even the best players

[wanton flower]

hey so im pretty sure i got Doom Slayed, but i didnt get credit for the achievement?

does the 0x mult custom mode not count anymore?

[acoustic badge]

still works normally tho

its either you got killed after 1min mark, or the demon didnt use the ability to kill u

[wanton flower]

i was at 80% sanity and it hunted with 30 seconds on the clock, pretty sure thats an ability hunt?

75% + 5% pills

or does it normally hunt at 80% exactly as well?

[acoustic badge]

demon threshold is at 70%

[acoustic badge]

yea, i wonder if you ended the match before the 1mins mark

[wanton flower]

wait, so the total death process has to finish before 1 min? not just "go to the dungeon" before 1 min?

[acoustic badge]

yes the match has to end before the 1min mark

like the result screen must appear and the total time investigating in the "details" must be below 1m

[wanton flower]

ah, i didnt pay attention to that stat line item

[acoustic badge]

Hope yu get it next timee 🙏

[cerulean meteor]

I hope we get a shift click function for cameras in the next update. Don't gotta scroll through 16 cameras just to get to my 3

[marsh olive]

I found evidence that this game cheats to make you lose :c

Had freezing temps, EMF 5, and ghost writing. was willing to pack it up and call it a day but clear as day blocky form in the dots

So I picked mimic... it was a shade..

[wise oyster]

Mimic can't have EMF5

[west shale]

yeah i just had a game where the shade blew out my candle and wrote in the book and i dont belive that is possible

[wanton flower]

the giveaway for shade is that it doesnt do emf 5 with you in the room

[prisma laurel]

Nor ghost writing

[wanton flower]

turn on the emf, drop it in the room, and cross the threshold out of the room

[wise oyster]

Candles and books have their own interaction range, so a Shade can be in a different room and still reach them often

[wanton flower]

and i think theres another evidence it doesnt do if youre in the room with it

[west shale]

ok that makes sense was thinking that but wasnt sure

[wise oyster]

no, they cant' do anything when they're in the same room

[marsh olive]

popped open a closet right in front of me and it went to emf 10. it was my first evidence.. then I got ghost writing and then freezing temps... as I was getting ready to pack up clear as day a blocky form appeared in dots...

[wanton flower]

thats not possible???

[marsh olive]

Im not sitting here knowing what isnt and is possible only saying what happeened

[wanton flower]

also shade is emf5, writing, freezing, im looking at it in game

[marsh olive]

Right look at the first thing i said

[main meadow]

EMF 10 is not an evidence

[marsh olive]

"I thought shade ez then got dots"

[wanton flower]

it just doesnt do emf5 or writing with you in the room

[wanton flower]

dots or orbs?

[wise oyster]

#videos

[marsh olive]

dots

[west shale]

are you sure the dots didnt show from the breath of your player in the freezing air

[wanton flower]

theres a difference, dots are from the dots projector, orbs are from the video camera

[marsh olive]

which also shouldnt be possible

[marsh olive]

was on cam from the van

[wanton flower]

and yeah, twitch chat loves freaking out at breath dots, just ask insym

[wise oyster]

you prolly saw an event

[vestal ferry]

Ghost events, the shadow one, can look like dots, and events will make activity board go to lvl10

The activity board isnt showing emf per say

[wanton flower]

ghosty grapes = ghost orbs, these are the floating orbs moving around randomly

dots are very noticeable

and are distinct from ghost orbs

[vestal ferry]

You can watch for dots from the van through the video cam hun

[wanton flower]

yeah i know, but the only reason to do that is if you suspect goryo

and only emf5 is in common with shade

[wise oyster]

A big lesson is no matter what happened, Mimics don't do EMF5, DOTS, or Writing. In fact that's all they can't do.

[vestal ferry]

Even then just stand outside the room tbh.

[wanton flower]

nope, dots only show up on camera afaik, cant see it from the other room with naked eye

[vestal ferry]

... you can hold the video cam...

[wanton flower]

although i havent tested holding the camera from the other room

[vestal ferry]

This way you can tell if its video cam only or with naked eye as well.

[wanton flower]

i thought it was a van princess only thing tbh

[wise oyster]

that's usually easier actually

[vestal ferry]

Goryo dots arent confirmed via van cam actually since any dots can show on cam

At that point youre just guessing

[wise oyster]

Unless you're in 3ev

[vestal ferry]

Yeh unless that

[wanton flower]

i feel like if you have emf and uv, and you havent confirmed the other three, van camping is a pretty safe thing to do

orbs are decently easy to rule out using the same method as well

and freezing is usually obvious, and you can point the camera at the book for writing while youre at it

no reason not to van camp at that point

[zenith lion]

Hi guys, I am having a problem where in the middle of matches my game is crashing, and I have no dual monitors. It is popping up with a red exclamation point, but since there is no dual monitor problem like i've seen online idk what the problem could be. Does anyone have a fix to this?

[wanton flower]

Bro this poltergeist is Hella aggressive 😭

[wanton flower]

and obake usually gives you the extra finger by that point, so goryo is really just a "well its being annoying and hasnt given the third evidence yet, goryo and go"

[prisma laurel]

Bro did its ability 4 times

[wanton flower]

oof

RIP sanity

at least it was an easy investigation, unless youre going for perfect

[subtle relic]

@unique brook ill play with u on phas

[unique brook]

i pray you dont have a microphone im on a call with my partner right now

dm me and ill amke a room

[prisma laurel]

Honesty me getting used to the raiju heartbeat help me identify it much easier now

[cerulean meteor]

Wait do you also use the heartbeat?

[prisma laurel]

For a thing, yes

Even justly uses it

[cerulean meteor]

Huh...I'm so confused. Heartbeat or footsteps

[wise oyster]

Raiju currently has a bug where the heartbeat sound starts from 15m instead of 10m, making it louder and bass-boosted when it's closer.

[cerulean meteor]

Wait really?

[prisma laurel]

I could give a video representation but I'm tired rn to do so

[wise oyster]

I've never really noticed it on my headphones, but I'm always just listening for the speedup

[cerulean meteor]

Raiju out here with that EDM beat XD

[prisma laurel]

I might send a video representation of a yurei ability on tent doors

[cerulean meteor]

Please do that sounds hilarious

[prisma laurel]

Tomorrow I will

[warped lark]

Polt is spirit box

[lime holly]

amd uv/writing

[cerulean meteor]

Hey does anyone know if like...wraiths and phantoms way point to a player or do they just waypoint

[wise oyster]

well wraith teleports so its waypoint is the player at any given moment. Phantom goes to waypoints

[cerulean meteor]

But like...do they specifically try to waypoint to players or like just..."go here do thing"

[wise oyster]

they set a waypoint at the player's location when they decide to do their ability

[cerulean meteor]

Ah okay

[noble sable]

Just had a Moroi refusing to step through salt. Thought for sure it was a wraith, he eventually did step in one but man it went through that room a lot before doing it xD

[cerulean meteor]

Oofta

Omg my son is an emote

[west shale]

are footprints the same as fingerprints

[lilac ore]

as evidence yes

[little solstice]

this polter just hunted at 70% sanity am i fried

[wise oyster]

70% average?

[honest heart]

We did a 3 minutes run of a revenant. ×10 difficulty.

[vivid crater]

Wraith targets player's exact position, Phantom sets a random waypoint within 5m around a player

[muted oar]

anyone know why i bought the game before, and have played it, buyt now it its saying i need to purchase the game

[vestal ferry]

contact support for whatever platform you bought it for.

[rain pike]

Do ghost actually get pissed when you say their name?

[misty nymph]

wait, new booster colors?

[rotund vale]

Just had a poltergeist do a spirit smudge timer 😤

[rain pike]

Tf is that

[rotund vale]

When you smudge the ghost room and it’s a spirit, it won’t hunt for 3 minutes

[atomic leaf]

every ghost can do that

[rotund vale]

Then why does it specifically say it for spirit

[rain pike]

What is smug

[atomic leaf]

because spirit is the only that’s impossible to hunt before the 3 minutes are up

[rotund vale]

Damn

[atomic leaf]

that’s why it’s best to test it multiple times

[rotund vale]

I played OG phas, we called the incense “smudge”

[rain pike]

Ohhhh ok

[rain pike]

^^

[atomic leaf]

it’s supposed to increase activity but i’m pretty sure it’s broken

[rain pike]

Ahhh ok

[worthy mountain]

wiwiwi

[atomic leaf]

[magic tiger]

Even a demon

[vivid crater]

👀

[worthy mountain]

novena, what the fuuckkk

[raw blaze]

Will phasmophobia be available on MacOS?

[cerulean meteor]

Brrrrrruh why the high school gotta have 3 billion rooms

"Tag" nah fam. This still hide-and-seek

At least the challenge is done

My son once again wins me tha challenge

[vale quest]

not that much, Sunny has more

[modern mauve]

Unlikely, at the very least there hasn't been any public talk about it. You can use external programs like geforce now to play it on Mac

[cerulean meteor]

Yeah but sunny meadows makes sense

I'm confused why people say they hear screams on sunny meadow. All I hear are dull thud sounds like somebody dropped something on metal in the distance

Then again some mixture of ghost lines during hunts sounds like "I need Cher" to me which...mood but I don't think that's what's intentional

[vale quest]

me neither, i hear stomps and metal cranks

[cerulean meteor]

I did hear what sounded like the windeup to the THX logo once but...my game was super bugged so my guess is its not an Easter egg

I wonder when I'll get lore for my son

Also has anyone else ever had the glitch where the ghost is just a black shadow? Like...definitely not a shade thing. Its just a black void in the vague shape of the ghost model

It was super freaky. Devs should make it a feature.

[slim whale]

Can happen when the lighting is weird

[vale quest]

yeah, its pretty common in my gameplay, i do often have those

[lavish estuary]

yes

[slim whale]

[trail vale]

I have question

[slim whale]

Whats up

[trail vale]

Can i play with some one who plays on pc and i play on ps?

[slim whale]

Yes

[trail vale]

Ok

[slim whale]

Game has full crossplay. Just have to make sure its turned on

[trail vale]

Ok thank you

[slim whale]

Pc - xbox - ps can all play together

[maiden fox]

Its scuffed again, everything is reset again!

Every goddamn day it resets

[solemn socket]

Im on nightmare, with forced evidences, will the forced evidence mean 3 evidences (like the mimic), or 2 evidences

[slim whale]

Mimic will have 3 since orbs domt countas evidence

Every other ghost will have 2

[solemn socket]

Yep

[slim whale]

Is the setting still turned off?

[solemn socket]

even like a deo with forced spirit box?

[slim whale]

Yes

[maiden fox]

YES

[slim whale]

Deo will have box + something else

[solemn socket]

Ah so I cant rule out anything

only with mimic

[slim whale]

Hm ig well wait for mez.im not a pc player sorry

[slim whale]

Yeah

[maiden fox]

I hope Mezzo can help, cuz this is so goddamn annoying

[slim whale]

I mean if you get 2 evidence you can rule out all the other ghosts that have a different forced devidence

At 2 evidence there should be around 4 ghosts left to identify. Just need to know their abilities

[odd vale]

I’d make a post in #1082421799578521620 , it’s odd that it would keep happening with that setting turned off

[slim whale]

Good morning mez

[odd vale]

Sorry to not help more. It’s almost 2am for me and I am really sick

[maiden fox]

Will do, thanks, im first gonna finish this round with my friend

[slim whale]

Ooh get well soon. Try and get some more sleep

[odd vale]

I am trying. Just really uncomfortable

[drifting ingot]

I hope you feel better soon

[slim whale]

Do you get gradient roles too mods?

[raw blaze]

can spirit box be guaranteed on deogen still? when playing 0 evidence?

[slim whale]

No

0ev means 0ev

[raw blaze]

what if its a mimic

orbs? or no

[slim whale]

Orbs yes

Orbs are not an evidence for mimic

[raw blaze]

anything else? Is it just the mimic orbs

[slim whale]

Just mimic orbs

[maiden fox]

I hope you get well soon!

[pallid crane]

I wish I could do spirit box while hunt

Cuz tier 1 spirit box is fuckin sht

Which ghosts have los?

[thorn spruce]

iirc all ghosts have los speedup except thaye, hantu, deogen

[slim whale]

I stand by that revenant doesnt specificly have los speedup

[thorn spruce]

oh yea forgot about rev. Well, if a rev comes charging towards u, i think los speedup is the last thing u'll think about 😄

[slim whale]

Its just he doesnt need los to speed up. And he doesnt get faster the longer he sees you

-> no los speefup

[thorn spruce]

-> panic speeds up

[zinc coyote]

I call it zoomies

[vale quest]

i got one w my buddies on Brownstone during the challange. safe to say we ran away instantly when we saw it 😄

[analog sphinx]

OMG I JS GOT CALLED A HACKER

the pros and cons of bein high lvl

[slim whale]

You are not even high level

Barely mid range

[analog sphinx]

yeh ppl nowadays dont know how to read roman numbers

look at us

totally getting rid of any trace of our ancestors

[slim whale]

You have like what. 400 hours in the game?

[analog sphinx]

what a world we live in

[analog sphinx]

can i say lower

[slim whale]

Yeah

[boreal ether]

its not even hard lol

[slim whale]

Just a rough guess

[analog sphinx]

ive been on nightmare since i started the game (been watching insym since 2020)

like 150hrs

[boreal ether]

insym goated imo learned alot

[analog sphinx]

fr dude i can even guess whether its a goryo or not on zero evi

[slim whale]

Got some nice leveling then gj

Im at p13 with ~450 hours

[analog sphinx]

hell yeah, after my first prestige i only did customs

[slim whale]

Okay i slowly worked my way up and did only insanuty until p6. Then started custom farming cuz bored

[thorn spruce]

im 250 hours at p2 xD

[slim whale]

Someones been playing amateur

Or just... died a lot

[topaz star]

walnut brains the weaklings have

[west kindle]

I see you owem

[topaz star]

[slim whale]

Hello to u

[slim whale]

Hi collei 🫂

[sand bane]

waiting for the update is making this the longest week of my life

[final sandal]

people sometimes judge on behalf of their own pace & skill, spamming CWW at 12.97 (ass example) you can prestige in 5 hours with normal rng. i am XX 1150 with 530h, people kick me all the time, but with the infestation of cheaters i don't blame em.

[analog sphinx]

phasmo players judge ALOT and its concerning

it was never my level but my voice and age(?) somehow they believe im using a voice changer and that im not an adukt

had to change my name to 18+ | THIS IS THE WAY I SOUND

[sand bane]

literally same

I've been kicked so many times because my voice, which in my opinion, I DONT SOUND LIKE A KID

[topaz star]

the reason i NEVER play on public servers

[slim whale]

Im fine with hosting public lobbies. If i see people that are just annoying or whatever i kick them. Idc about level im just playing 10x

[slender gull]

Same public lobbies are very toxic with certain ones.

[topaz star]

and with their walnut brains

[final sandal]

its like 1/20 so getting into a one with IQ above 80 takes a few minutes, sometimes though, its fun.

[slender gull]

Facts there, I'm Prestige 20 like 350 and had someone try to tell me a deogen was a phantom. 🤣😂

[topaz star]

peanut brains lol

noobs get ur facts right

[slender gull]

That's true but I'm just unlucky then lol plus, I reported so many hackers in NA servers to.

[lusty juniper]

is it normal to get kicked by almost every pub lobby i try to join?

[versed ibex]

Yeah

[lusty juniper]

dang

[slim whale]

-lfg try there. Pubs suck

[prime elk]

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

[lusty juniper]

i dun see any in as reg sadly

[slim whale]

Make your own post. Maybe youll find someone. Probably just a bad time rn

[lusty juniper]

probs bad time

[weak brook]

quick Question cause i noticed it multiple times by now, could it be that Raijus have a thing where your heartbeat is louder during a hunt?
Because i had it multiple times now, that the heartbeat is Overstimulated or whatever you call that?

[topaz star]

thats a thing

[weak brook]

and it was always a Raiju in that case*
i should add

[topaz star]

yes

[slim whale]

Yeah raiju heardbeat is bugged atm

[analog sphinx]

high chance cause of ur low lvl (assuming u r)

[weak brook]

so a feature that isnt a feature but will be for the next couple years probably

[lusty juniper]

im still lv32 so im guessing thats too low level then

[weak brook]

kk thanks

[topaz star]

prob

[topaz star]

i wouldnt judge on ur lvl

if u want a higher lvl u play more

[sand bane]

Someone told me about the heartbeat thing but I didn't know it was a bug, I thought it was a hidden abnility I didn't know about lol

Is the Raiju EMF thing fixed btw?

[slim whale]

What emf thing?

[final sandal]

as in T2 emf beeping from a mile away?

[slim whale]

I can ensure you level doesnt really matter. People kick of you are level 20, 100, 500 or more

[sand bane]

wasn't there something about placing the EMF on the monitor? I never tried it myself so I don't even know if it's true

[thorn spruce]

What lvl do u play usually

[vestal ferry]

raiju has a larger range of disturbance so emf or other electronics in the truck going off can be raiju depending on map.

[final sandal]

its on CWW, cuz only raiju with its bigger disruptive range can interact with it, although its a van princess strat for newer players.

[lusty juniper]

whatever gives the most multiplier (im assuming you mean level as in the 3x 4x thing)

[weak brook]

yeahh im pretty sure the reason you re getting Kicked is because most of the Players that just started have n o clue what they are doing (understandable) and from what i experience are prone to giving you false evidence/ getting you killed etc, so pretty normal stuff and such but there are quite a few players that just dont wanna del with that and asume every lowlevel player has no idea what they are doing

[lusty juniper]

i heard you could do 10x or 12x in custom but i gotta reach lv50 for tht

[lusty juniper]

i see

[sand bane]

ohhhh that makes more sense,

[lusty juniper]

😭

[weak brook]

x15 is the highest but x11,50 or x12,50 something are the multipliers for the farmign layouts etc

[slim whale]

Up to 15x. I usually do 10.25 on tangle - is most chill for me

[sand bane]

I'm never doing 15x after apoc, IM DONE

[lusty juniper]

farming layouts?

[lusty juniper]

ill keep it in mind

[boreal ether]

whats a good way to level up pretty quickly? if someone can send me a custom mode preset much appreciated

[weak brook]

fair, shit took me 4 month and quite a few tries because i was procrastionating xd
especially after i had a run where i got a picture and all the objectives in one Hunt, where i thought it was a deo but it was a mimic

[final sandal]

for example I play on 12.97 multiplier so instead of 400 for perfect game like on amateur, i get 5500 +- for perfect game.

[thorn spruce]

just enjoy the game. Doesn't matter pubs, lfg groups, ppl WILL kick u for literally no reason at all

[weak brook]

yeahh, i mean the only reason i do the farming methods is because i wanna reach a certain ID card and dont wanna Play years to reach it

[late yoke]

relatable

[lusty juniper]

i see

[lusty juniper]

😭

[slim whale]

Prestige 5?

[weak brook]

have that one already, 15 xd

[slim whale]

Yeah ok. The red one

Is one of the best agreed

[zinc coyote]

p17 is great

[analog sphinx]

i got a banshee scream but ghost didnt hunt until 3:24 and there r no orbs

[slim whale]

14

[zinc coyote]

But voodoo doll

[versed ibex]

P1

[twilit portal]

can you be more than 100lvl before prestige?

[indigo hollow]

Yup, prestige is optional

[twilit portal]

alr

[twilit portal]

just did prestige 2

[lavish estuary]

phasmophobia but cats

[slim whale]

Ailurophobia?

[lavish estuary]

catmophobia

[zinc coyote]

I never hit p1 only p20

[versed ibex]

I'm only p2

[upper vault]

hi

[prisma laurel]

P20 so easy

[zinc coyote]

P50 when

[wise oyster]

P20 should have an achievement called "Welcome to the Game"

[modern mauve]

If Chronicle doesn't give us Prestige L, worst update ever

[zinc coyote]

ID card says "touch grass"

[final sandal]

..plenty of grass in front of tanglewood..

[twilit portal]

What is considered good lvl in phasmo?

[zinc coyote]

XX 3000+

[zinc coyote]

What flavor is it

[neon kindle]

lol

[serene creek]

Tarot Cards can suck stale eggs.

LAst batch had 2 hermit cards, 1 Devil card, 4 Tower and the last one I pulled was a Hanged Man.

[modern echo]

I hear ya. I was trying to drop sanity for objective and got 2 Tower, 2 Death, Moon (fool 😡 ), hermit, then wheel of fortune (green)

[wise oyster]

@modern mauve I realized I wasn't considering the Tier bonus for Media. I think we've only seen $1 for T1 so far

[modern mauve]

Oh yeah!

Hopefully some good bonuses

[serene creek]

Onryus can't light candles, right?

[modern echo]

onryos no like fire

[outer thorn]

Can someone elaborate a bit on this text from the phasmo wiki’s “hunt” page?

“If there is an opened room door in the ghost's interaction range, it will check if there are players nearby. If this is true, it will roam to the player's location and forcefully close the door”

Any info is appreciated

[wise oyster]

I haven't seen it described that way, but the ghost automatically sees through open room doors so you can't hide behind them. You can still "hide" (break Line of Sight) behind a closed door

way back in the day you could hide from the ghost just pulling a room door wide open and squeezing yourself back there

[main meadow]

That sounds like a mash up of interaction events way pointing and yurei ability lol

[outer thorn]

I believe they’re implying an open door in the room you’re hiding in can encourage the ghost to check that room out? Might be stretching it though

[main meadow]

Never had a ghost force close a door in a hunt just tap them normal interaction stuff but maybe I don't go near enough doors lol

[outer thorn]

Holy cow in 2020 if a ghost couldn’t find you during a hunt in a reasonable time, it would start teleporting around the map to find you in its investigation range apparently

[serene creek]

I can't wait til the update.

"Trying to take a photo of the ghost? How about an interaction photo instead?"

[main meadow]

You can
You have to

[outer thorn]

Idk dude what if his dad works at kinetic games and they give him the update early because he’s cool

I took a pic of salt, was a 1 star bone pic. Turns out the bone was glitched under clothing next to it

[serene creek]

Don't get me started on bone locations. The first two runs of the day I gave up on trying for perfect games because I couldn't find the bone.

[outer thorn]

I think because the update is right around the corner my patience has essentially run out for the bone pic mechanic. I PRAY it isn’t here after the update Q.Q

[jaunty crypt]

Have you guys went in a hiding spot in the ghost room

[rugged heart]

Guys what do i press to communicate with my teammates?

[modern echo]

yes, but only after smudging the ghost and then running in there

[odd vale]

B if on PC

Pretty sure

That’s the global talk

[rugged heart]

Is it the local or global before i can talk with my team?

[odd vale]

B is the walkie talkie and that’s global

[wise oyster]

I haven't seen any indication they're removing the bone

[rugged heart]

oki, so local is for the spirit box

[short jolt]

B is Radio chat to whole team and V is local chat

[outer thorn]

I know 😦

[modern echo]

you can use local to talk to anyone in hearing range

[solemn stream]

yes

[rugged heart]

thx

[outer thorn]

They can keep the bone but pls ditch the bone pic for the perfect mechanic, I pray it’s an unannounced decision

[odd vale]

V is for local if you have push to talk on and it’s used like what BrewMaster described

[wise oyster]

you don't need a bone pic

[modern echo]

you don't need a bone pic for perfect

[wise oyster]

just need to pick it up

[outer thorn]

Bruh

[modern echo]

it's just an easy 3 star photo

[prisma laurel]

Although u can have it for money

[odd vale]

Just need to find it

[wise oyster]

True, worth an extra $5 vs interaction

[outer thorn]

Then why do people throw massive fits if people pick it up without a pic first is it really that much more money??

Omg only a five dollar bill lol

[vivid crater]

Playing with wrong people

[modern echo]

maybe they don't know how to get 3 star photos that easily and you just missed out on one

[wise oyster]

lots of misinfo out there

[short jolt]

I pick up the bone all the time without a photo'

[modern echo]

I like taking a picture of the bone because 3 star pic and mostly to remind myself later that I already found the bone. After playing enough games, they all sort of blend together and I can't remember if I found it this round or not

[outer thorn]

I swear half of peoples info that they share is head cannon sometimes 😑

Thanks for the info

[jaunty crypt]

What if you were in there when the hurt started

[wise oyster]

This is a semi-legit reason, especially in a group, so everyone sees it's been found

[outer thorn]

Legit if you’re antisocial and forgetful I guess 😦

[short jolt]

The only real reason for a photo of the bone aside from 3* photo is just so people are not constantly asking if it was grabbed which they still do anyways.

[outer thorn]

eye twitches

[modern echo]

Are you asking if it is safe to hide in the ghost room? As far as I know hiding spots are safe, but I never wanted to risk trying to hide in the ghost room before it starts hunting so I never tried it that way.

[zinc coyote]

me

[short jolt]

That is why I just stick to playing with the same people most of the time. We already know who picks up the bone and performs other task.

[short jolt]

You know it is true lol

[outer thorn]

It couldn’t be more true.

[short jolt]

The people I play with we all have certain things we go straight to doing so I don't have to worry about it. Lol

[outer thorn]

Everyone post your favorite false info you hear in pubs!

[odd vale]

I don’t go to pubs

[jaunty crypt]

Mhm

[solemn stream]

Tbf people seem to have a listening issue when playing. I can't count the amount of times I've said "I found the ghost room and we have orbs" just for someone in the truck 7 mins later to go "holy shit guys we have orbs"

[short jolt]

Neither do I

[outer thorn]

“It’s gotta be a raiju it HATES electronics” is standing next to an eventing ghost

I think it’s a shade guys it isn’t doing anything wrong room on the wrong floor

[modern echo]

If you stand in the middle of the summoning circle while lighting it, the ghost can't get you when it starts hunting

[outer dew]

Is the game fucked rn?

[solemn stream]

shouldn't be

[short jolt]

You are right on that. I still have to do that sometimes but not as often anymore.

[outer dew]

Ok my game just crashed

Amazing

[short jolt]

You on PC or Console?

[slate badger]

Do you have to get all your equipment back in the van to not lose money?

[shut fjord]

Are you on PlayStation

[outer dew]

PC

[outer thorn]

No

[slate badger]

Thanks 😊

[solemn stream]

I usually end up taking a 10 minute break when we do a couple rounds and I hear people repeat the evidence i said 5 mins ago. "We've got writing, I'm taking a pic"... 5 mins later "wait someone got a pic of ghost writing, that's the last evidence"

[shut fjord]

Oh that was happening freind

[short jolt]

Sent Dm

[outer thorn]

My favorite is whenever the tier 2 emf makes ANY sound “is that five? Is that five?”

[short jolt]

I always call each evidence each time one is found just so no one goes I didn't know we had that.

[solemn stream]

yeah it's like they don't bother learning the different sounds for diff levels smh (half sarcastic)

[solemn stream]

... i do that and ppl still don't listen

[zinc coyote]

i hate that so much lmao

[solemn stream]

[short jolt]

There are many that don't know the sound of EMF 5 on Tier 2 or 3.

[outer thorn]

They need to stop drinking the UV sticks in the van before playing

[zinc coyote]

"we got orbs"
30 sec later
"oh we got orbs"

[solemn stream]

don't tell grimm what he can't do

[zinc coyote]

[short jolt]

They had to find something new instead of antifreeze

[plain solstice]

The best we have in my group is when we call out what type of ghost it is, and someone says, wait, what evidence have we got, we call it back to them and they claim to have missing the one evidence they called themselves!

[primal sand]

What do you fellow ghost hunters like to use more tier 2 emf or tier 3?

[solemn stream]

3

[zinc coyote]

3

[modern echo]

to be fair on not hearing evidence call outs, I've had times where I'm listening to the paramic for objective when someone calls out evidence

[plain solstice]

3 is good for finding the item that has just been interacted with and photographing it

[outer thorn]

It’s totally understandable to do so, but a part of me dies when someone asks me “how do I know” in a questioning tone about literally any info I give out

[primal sand]

What about UV tier 2 or tier 3? And why

[short jolt]

I think it is funny getting kicked from public games when they go its this ghost and walk to the truck and I am still inside testing hunts going no it isn't what you think it is. They tell me I am wrong close the truck and then I end up right. Then they kick me.

[solemn stream]

well yeah thats fair but people are usually right next to me, i call it on the walkie and local, and they say okay, then at the end of the game "wait when did we have orbs?"

[outer thorn]

Tier 3 uv because I’m not blind and can see with my eyes don’t need a cheat code flashlight

[solemn stream]

i wish tier 3 uv was a blacklight projector like the dots

[modern echo]

do you play in groups that say 420 friendly? might have something to do with it 😉

[austere flower]

whats the period between hunts for blood moon?

[zinc coyote]

t2 uv is superior

[outer thorn]

They’re the same

[slim whale]

@solemn stream 🫂

[wise oyster]

no change, 25s, 20s for Demon

[solemn stream]

i play in groups that are all kinds of friendly, but we only do adult stuff on weekends cuz we've saved up enough monies to frick around XD

[solemn stream]

huggieee mimikyu

[outer thorn]

Everybody’s working for the weekend 🎶

[austere flower]

thanks!

[solemn stream]

banger of a song

[outer thorn]

Banger to describe that song makes me laugh. That’s like hearing footloose and going “this shit is hard” hahaha

Which it is btw don’t get it twisted

[solemn stream]

you saying my slang is outdated?

[outer thorn]

Not at all

[solemn stream]

cuz you're right

[outer thorn]

It’s swanky baybeh

[solemn stream]

groovy

[outer thorn]

Far out ✌️ ☮️

I haven’t heard far out in forever..times are changing for the worse

[solemn stream]

slang used to mean things, now they're just making up words

one of the questions i hear younger people ask the spirit box is "ghost are you a skibidi rizzler?" ion even know what that means

[outer thorn]

This ghost is from Ohio 🤓

[modern echo]

lol, the other day my kids were trolling me with all kinds of slang. They may as well have been speaking greek

[zinc coyote]

gen z slang is terrible

[outer thorn]

What the skibidi 🧐

[solemn stream]

I think I'd have a better chance at understanding Greek

[outer thorn]

I have 6 nephews all in elementary school, I hear it all…..six times over

[solemn stream]

i think we're on gen alpha now

[vivid crater]

🤮

[modern echo]

for real, I went to Greece once, and my knowledge of scientific symbols allowed me to at least read things phonetically

[outer thorn]

Real lol I could transcribe Latin before the modern lingo

[jovial spoke]

how does the stamina work in this game ?

[zinc coyote]

the way most kids in general talk now sucks lol. i just insta kick them

[main meadow]

You run for a few seconds your character immediately regrets smoking a carton of cigarettes a day and then you can run again in a few seconds

[solemn stream]

i'm gen z.... would you kick me?

[outer thorn]

I think it’s like a 3 second sprint 5 second cooldown

[acoustic badge]

3s sprint time; 5s cooldown

[wise oyster]

the player walks at 1.6 m/s, and sprints at 3 m/s for 3 seconds with a 5-second cooldown

[main meadow]

Hey they said how it worked not what the times were I'm just being honest

Lololol

[solemn stream]

fair

[outer thorn]

Nah that’s how whole generations end up sucking. If you’re cool, you’re in.

[limpid folio]

Guys when should we get the new update?

[acoustic badge]

Around next wenesday iirc

[solemn stream]

24th

[acoustic badge]

Or tuesday idunno timezones

[zinc coyote]

Without hesit- naahh I wont

[zinc coyote]

I dont keep kids in my lobbies lol

[agile vessel]

guyse i like phasmo

[outer thorn]

KIDS no but teenagers who behave are fine

[limpid folio]

@acoustic badge @solemn stream Thanks! I want to know when to expect it. Lately im busy and i can't play much. 😊

[solemn stream]

so do we

[outer thorn]

It is a T rated game after all

[wise oyster]

then you're in the right place

[primal sand]

When does the update officially come out?

[wise oyster]

6 days, no time yet

[solemn stream]

24th

[versed ibex]

Never

[solemn stream]

always

[primal sand]

I hope the new gear is unlocked from the start and not something I need to be rank 50+ for

[solemn stream]

doesn't it go off uk times?

[outer thorn]

Prepare to be disappointed

[wise oyster]

we know there are 3 tiers to it like the others

[primal sand]

I’m currently rank 30 but I almost never have time to play,

[acoustic badge]

Maybee? 😭

[outer thorn]

There isn’t a single optional item that’s available from the start

[prisma laurel]

[main meadow]

No most games make you play with the base items first.

Actually almost every one of the phas clones does

[jovial spoke]

so It can't regen ?

[primal sand]

What’s an app or website I can study more for the game? I wanna be able to see something and be like oh it’s not a demon or it’s the twins

[zinc coyote]

cheat sheet this

[slim whale]

@main meadow

[main meadow]

And
Check out the Cheat sheet to help learn ghost info, speeds, map info and much more!

[slim whale]

Thank u

[main meadow]

Documentation

[outer thorn]

3 seconds of sprint, 5 seconds for it to refill

[wise oyster]

5s to fully regen when depleted. It refills at the same rate if partially used

[solemn stream]

kinda poopy

[wise oyster]

Yeah it's sluggish for sure, but in most cases it's balanced around the rest of th game

[main meadow]

I'm still giggling at my description

[slim whale]

I saw that

[prisma laurel]

😭

[vivid crater]

It can't Regen if you press sprint every 1 second, it's so bad

[solemn stream]

we all did

[main meadow]

Listen I'm on mobile it's a pain in the butt leave me alone I plead the fifth

[prisma laurel]

Deal with it

[wise oyster]

non-Americans don't understand that phrase, I've been led to believe

[solemn stream]

i was about to ask but didn't wanna seem dumb incase it's commom knowledge

[main meadow]

Half the ppl I talk to say it's their fav crime show phase

[slim whale]

Okay then your free to go sir

[wise oyster]

The 5th Amendment to the US Constitution is the right against self-incrimination, basically the right to remain silent. It's often used casually to mean "I don't want to answer that" while tacitly admitting you were at fault

[wise oyster]

well there ya go, you're talking to crime show fans

[main meadow]

Yee hollywoods cure all phrase

[solemn stream]

years of confusion for something so simple smh

[main meadow]

The only thing I disagree with is that ending sentence because they're not admitting it but they're leaving it up to prosecution to prove beyond A reasonable doubt without their testimony

Too much legal eagle

[wise oyster]

In court, you're 100% right, but in everyday usage it can be a tongue-in-cheek way to admitting but not admitting

[main meadow]

Holy crap a courthouse map

That would actually work it would be different I don't think I've seen that in other games

Like it could even have the jail downstairs

[solemn stream]

tbh in the uk bobbies won't care much if you just stay silent or tell them to piss off (in my experience)

[wise oyster]

Ghostbusters 2?? The Scoleri brothers?

[zinc coyote]

Id be down for that

[main meadow]

Fucking gallows out back something creepy

Hell yeah send us to like an old west town with a old ass courthouse

Start getting a whole thing in like my wife's saying let's do some saloons

[wise oyster]

from what I understand what really blew some UK people's minds is you can't be forced to admit anything in court either

[wise oyster]

"get a rope"

[primal sand]

They need to do a Sam and Colby collab

[solemn stream]

i'm from norway and things don't often escalate to courts there, but if you do go to court and your lawyer hasn't told you to keep a cool head and only answer the things you can/want to; then they're a bad lawyer

[wanton flower]

i would like to thank Insym if he's here
im watching his new custom difficulty video, and i thought i was taking crazy pills the last few days trying to get Doom Slayed with High Activity on my settings, but then only seeing any activity every 10 games
turns out the custom difficulty Activity setting is inverted

[haughty ravine]

question: Does the light in the Foyer of Bleasdale interfere with the spiritbox in the Upstairs hallway?

[solemn stream]

it shouldn't

only lights in the room interfere iirc

[wise oyster]

that should be the case, yeah

[solemn stream]

i always say iirc so i'm not too liable if i'm wrong XD

[modern mauve]

Ain't nothing wrong with being wrong, just a fact of life

[wise oyster]

same, if for no other reason, it separates info I'm sure of vs what I'm pretty sure of

[modern mauve]

As long as you can own the fact you're wrong (circumstances allowed)

[wise oyster]

I might be wrong, but I'm not lyin'

[slim whale]

Ghosts are dead iirc

[modern mauve]

Debatable

[solemn stream]

are we sure about that?

have you guys ever encountered ghosts irl?

[zinc coyote]

Yes

[slim whale]

Can you prove me wrong?

[shut fjord]

Ya

[slim whale]

Show me a living ghost

[zinc coyote]

Woke up dead

[solemn stream]

would a vengeful spirit count?

[slim whale]

The first spell from hollow knight?

Or the items from the binding of isaac?

[solemn stream]

an angy ghost that's trying to kill its murderer

[slim whale]

Hm

Could just be grimm

I mean look at him

[zinc coyote]

[solemn stream]

maybe

[uneven dagger]

[uneven dagger]

Always wanted to try

[solemn stream]

[zinc coyote]

carbonated water tastes angry

[zinc coyote]

Carbonated water is a sin. Wouldn't even give that to a goryo

[uneven dagger]

Leave me and my Topo Chico (the carbonated mineral water) alone omfg

[zinc coyote]

@prisma laurel

[uneven dagger]

NO

[zinc coyote]

They should me t4 sanity meds into white monster

I wonder what's the next ghost that will be introduced into the game

[rigid briar]

how do you fix resolution??? i hate the black bars

[main meadow]

In the games settings.

Sometimes it's all the way to left or right

[rigid briar]

the only res there is 1600x1024

If, on the Ouija Board, the "How Old are You?" question gets a response of 80+ at the start of the round, it's unlikely to be a Thaye?
