for the diner

[wintry prawn]

next decade

[slow vine]

random question, do we all love T2 UV

[lime token]

Ehh

[wintry prawn]

Meh

[low pivot]

demon, yurei, banshee?

[wintry prawn]

it's good i guess

[zinc coyote]

Oni can chomp 20% per event, moroi can curse you and drain it twice as fast

[balmy crest]

someone to play?

[zinc coyote]

A little, what gave it away?

[random stratus]

okay i do not count moroi, because that requires YOU to do something, if that makes sense

[prime elk]

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

[wintry prawn]

wrong one again

W MEZZO

[slow vine]

i thought everyone liked it better since it covers more area.. oh wow

[random stratus]

yurei, jinn and... i cannot remember the third

[zinc coyote]

Yurei can drain sanity faster if it does its ability on a door in your room

[zinc coyote]

this one?

[wintry prawn]

YESSIIIIIR

[zinc coyote]

I just prefer it because the sound when you recharge it, the purple juice and its not electronic

[wintry prawn]

I forget that you're only 3 years older than me btw lol

[zinc coyote]

Dont remind me

[wintry prawn]

bruh

you're young tho

[zinc coyote]

My back says otherwise

[wintry prawn]

omg same

[normal epoch]

how do i get media perms?

[slow vine]

what's your prestige? I'm totally not curious

[zinc coyote]

Prestige 20 lvl 301 iirc

[lime token]

There are #screenshots #videos #phasmo-memes channels

[normal epoch]

oh yeah

[wintry prawn]

i still refuse to prestige to 5 LMAO

[zinc coyote]

But the card is cool

[wintry prawn]

i haven't played in a while, still prestige 4 lvl 118

[lime token]

Just get to P46 smh

[slow vine]

real

[wintry prawn]

true, i'll do it soon

i'm already P4 level 118 i can prestige already

i want that prestige 5 card

[zinc coyote]

Get the p15 one

Animated = cool

[lime token]

P18 is my fav

[zinc coyote]

P18 is pretty nice, goes well with that twitch drop one from a while back

[wintry prawn]

i'll speedrun them

[slow vine]

I'm too focused on doing the events and getting every card that exists. P2 rn

[pastel rampart]

im still too much of a chicken

[slow vine]

grafton farmhouse, can't with the mannequins

[wintry prawn]

good luck

[random stratus]

to do what?

[pastel rampart]

literally play the game on my own

[random stratus]

its funny, because i can be in the mannequin room, play on my own, all that stuff

[wintry prawn]

what level are you lol

[random stratus]

but for the life of me, when that fuck starts hunting, i IMMEDIATELY hide

[random stratus]

im trying my best to get over the "hide" instinct

[pastel rampart]

52 leon

[slow vine]

when i get into that house i literally look at the floor and move.

[random stratus]

im fine with playing on my own, matter in fact, sometimes i prefer it

[wintry prawn]

Depends

[slow vine]

just try to play easy difficulty alone, you'll eventually get over it trust me

[zinc coyote]

Im used to playing solo

[random stratus]

its because most people want to do a perfect game, which is fine, i get wanting to get the full reward

but for me i play the game for one reason

the investigation part

[wintry prawn]

i got bored of phasmo ngl

[lime token]

Get un-bored

[random stratus]

sort of same? im used to it, but i don't always DO it

[wintry prawn]

been playing for months, hell the only fun part was me starting to teach people months ago LOL

[random stratus]

i wouldn't call it boring, i would call it niche

[slow vine]

i actually always play solo (sad)

[wintry prawn]

i got tired of it that's all

[wintry prawn]

i started to get tired of doing this for months ngl, a lot of people don't even listen LOL

[random stratus]

that's fair, for me its more like... i have to be in the right mood for it

[atomic grove]

Hi

[random stratus]

i mean the alternative is searching for lobbies and praying you don't get kicked

[zinc coyote]

Same, ill join a friend if im free but thats about it

I also just dont play as much anymore

[random stratus]

for me its one of those games I'll go back to play every once in a while, but that goes for most games

However, i have gone back to play phas more times than i have with most games

[zinc coyote]

I just get connection issues on and off, so i just kinda got pushed away from it tbh

[slow vine]

i once got kicked because i didnt die and the guy died. i hate it

[limber turret]

is the sound sensors usless? like can i record audio for the journal off of them or no?

[random stratus]

useless? no its not

[zinc coyote]

I never really use them

[random stratus]

yeah its kinda annoying

@zinc coyotethe shade can't interact with things in the same room as the player right?

like if it and the player is in the same room

[pseudo depot]

is there no bug report anymore

every time i boot the game and play all audio is muffled until i pick up the parabolic microphone

[zinc coyote]

cant do events in the same room or any interaction that gives emf 2,3 or 5

[odd vale]

#bug-reports

[zinc coyote]

#bug-reports

[random stratus]

oh so it will give no sign of being in the room basically?

[zinc coyote]

Pretty much

No writing or blowing out candles

It can step out the room and do that if youre in the room still and its within its interaction range tho

[random stratus]

yeah that's what i was guessing, that is why i phrased it that way, it can interact with things through walls given its within the same range

[zinc coyote]

Yup

[random stratus]

@zinc coyotehow long would you say it took you to fully grasp the mechanics of each ghost and their ability, and how to zero them out individually?

[wooden robin]

Took like a minute for me

[random stratus]

so we're lying

[wooden robin]

🤫

[sacred nexus]

doesn’t take too long you just need to keep practicing on insanity and nightmare, then eventually you should be able to know what ghost it is from its behaviour alone

[cursive yacht]

me personally i was born and immediately knew that the grass was too green it's a yokai /j

[sacred nexus]

a little research into the behaviours doesn’t hurt either

[wooden robin]

You can use #1254568921110024254 for stuff

[sacred nexus]

best thing to do is to load yourself into a no sanity no evidence and practice getting hunted

[random stratus]

yeah but rng is also a thing, so

i mean hell, i still struggle with certain ghosts, like if you ask me "hey what ghost can do this and that" then yeah i can answer, that doesn't mean I'll clock it right away

[cursive yacht]

the wiki and the unofficial phasmo ghost cheat sheet are a big help for stuff

[random stratus]

Vandelay and Grimm are my wikis

[zinc coyote]

I didnt really take the game serious till a couple hundred hours in, like 200 or 300 or so

[random stratus]

why read from the cheat sheet when i can bother them two instead

[sacred nexus]

yeah some ghosts are just crazy difficult to get under certain circumstances like the mare 😐

[zinc coyote]

Before those hours i just played for fun with friends

[cursive yacht]

i did a solo run once (i don't do solo runs they scare me) and got a mare

turned on a light, mare turned off the light, i booked it and ran back to the truck

[zinc coyote]

Now im at 1,158 hours

[sacred nexus]

they just have no proper identifying behaviours except flicking light switches

[cursive yacht]

i got so lucky getting a mare light switch flick i cannot do solo by myself it scares me so bad

[sacred nexus]

you gotta just practice getting hunted

[cursive yacht]

one time i tried looping a ghost around the uuh woodwind campfire and got nuked i don't even remember what the ghost was but it was pretty funny

[graceful vessel]

yeah i was scared of hunts, just need exposure therapy. i just survived my first accidental cursed hunt.... walked away from ouija without saying goodbye bc it flipped the breaker and i forgor...

[random beacon]

The benches are good for looping

[sacred nexus]

woodwind campfire is hard because the ghost has constant LOS

benches cut off the line of sight

[random stratus]

im close to 500

[lime token]

Imagine looping

[zinc coyote]

Loop around the open area of cww like a real pro

[zinc coyote]

Almost enough hours to master the glowstick

[cursive yacht]

i was in between the campfire and the logs and didn't realize it was hunting until it was crawling at me at mach speed

[random stratus]

@zinc coyotealso i wanna share this moment because it made me feel like a big brain investigator:
basically right, i was hiding while it was hunting, i heard its footsteps were muffled (it was moving in the basement), so i was like "okay so its either a thaye, raiju, or hantu" (i made sure it wasn't a mimic), and i heard that it was changing speed so it wasn't a thaye, and i went into the basement, and it was cold there, not freezing, but colder

and i was like "yeah its not a raiju, its a hantu, and i was right

yeah yeah, its not that impressive, but it was fun to utilize my game mechanics knowledge

instead of "oh its fast when it knows my location but slow otherwise, its a revenant"

[cursive yacht]

still an achievement though!!!

[zinc coyote]

Thats how it goes, you learn the mechanics and become big brain

[random stratus]

made me feel like sherlock holmes, i loved it

[zinc coyote]

Becomes very easy to narrow down ghost once you know the speeds

[random stratus]

that's phas at its peak, mixing what you know into the game itself

[zinc coyote]

[random stratus]

that and also what gives them their speed

[zinc coyote]

Oh hey syn

[random stratus]

100%, made me feel great

[echo musk]

well idk who tagged me or whatever but just know i'm not ignoring, discord just being a dick

[topaz moon]

can i report people who use cheats?

[zinc coyote]

Ever gotta run to the bathroom last second? thats why theyre so fast

[zinc coyote]

[echo musk]

SISR

[zinc coyote]

[cursive yacht]

it's a mimic mimicing a mimic mimicing a revenant mimicing a mimic

[random stratus]

@zinc coyoteyk the candle, and the "range" listed? is that the blow out interaction range?

[zinc coyote]

Its like the cruci, its effective range

[mossy mason]

that's sanity drain reduction range
all firelights have a 4m blowout range iirc

[random stratus]

well shit

[zinc coyote]

If a onryo is within that range for example it cannot hunt near a lit flame

Like Will said too

But who needs sanity anyway

[random stratus]

5 meters but close

is the T3 motion sensors range (1.5) the radius or the diameter?

@zinc coyotei had another big brain moment =D

[zinc coyote]

Identified a deo

[random stratus]

no, better, i figured out that holding down t2 and t3 thermometer makes it automatically scan the temperature

instead of manually clicking it every time

[normal mango]

How about an official Blair Witch expansion? I think the idea could work.

[zinc coyote]

Wait I thought this was widely known 😭

[random stratus]

i know, i was being sarcastic dw

[random stratus]

@zinc coyoteso yk the banshee, say the targets sanity IS below 50%, but its NOT inside the house, will the ghost still hunt?

[vestal ferry]

Yes

Itll just act like any normal ghost during the hunt is all

[random stratus]

ah okay, thank you

did anyones game just crash?

[tall abyss]

jus had the most wild lobby ever, front door kept vanishing, we were able to leave eachother behind when going back to lobby, both of us died and game didnt end, game kept crashing and someone got logged outta thheir steam account

[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.

[sturdy idol]

But if you go back in does it still target you

[fossil grove]

Who ever told me to uncheck that box in my nvidia app thank you. That seems to have fixed my settings being lost

also unrelated this weeks challenge is like the worst

[jolly heron]

weekly challenge completed

[fossil grove]

HOW?

I just die and have to take a 1 in 24 guess

[jolly heron]

with friends, first we let it hunt while we 'hide' then we spread out to find 'colder temps' and if we do find it fairly quickly we alternate in/out so one can check when the hunt is over so the other(s) can put the stuff in the room

one ghost didn't touch the salt, so wraith

[sturdy idol]

Use parabolic

[jolly heron]

ghost in the shower did writing, emf 5 and ultraviole(n)t in quick succession

so myling

with more peeps, one of you can 'deliberately' die so can watch the book, emf and so on

or get 1/7 chance monkey paw and ask for knowledge

say you already spotted an orb, asking for knowledge if the monkey paw spawns can really narrow it down

[carmine forum]

Is Mimic ghost orbs only in ghost room

I got emf 2 on breaker so that would be a jinn right ? But I got dots so it would be a mimic just Mimicing

[prisma laurel]

Whar

[desert lagoon]

Mimic can't do dots

[carmine forum]

shi u right

[random stratus]

question, with the onryo, ik it hunts after blowing out three candles, but is there a timeline on that? like say... or is it literally just "after blowing out three candles, regardless of the time between blowing them out, it will hunt"?

8-10 seconds after blowing out the third candle?

[mighty reef]

wats the youngest age a thaye can start at?

[random stratus]

i wish it was instant, because 8-10 can be mistaken for any other ghost, no?

[random stratus]

it starts at the age of 1, all the way up to 10

[carmine forum]

Slowest ghost in the game at 10 swear 😭

[wise oyster]

It ages up to 10 times (in terms of being slower, less active, and hunting later). Its age on the Ouija board still starts from a random number like all ghosts

[random stratus]

yeah that's true, but still, wish you didn't have to think "wait it might just be a coincidence", that's all

[carmine forum]

does mare do line of sight speed?

[wise oyster]

Same speed as Rev with no detection, still much faster than Deo

[wise oyster]

yes

[fallow sleet]

Should I start a cursed hunt in this solo session I'm in?

I know the ghost is a deogen, and two of my objectives are for hunts (sanity below 25%, and incense).

[mighty reef]

i wated almost 15 minutes to use a ouija board, and this thaye said it was 4 years old before beginning a cursed hunt, which made me second guess if it was a thaye or not

[carmine forum]

And does the ghost get faster and faster the longer it sees u for?

[wise oyster]

Nothing comes close to the 20s test for Onryo

[prisma laurel]

I think i should run into it

[fallow sleet]

Revenants speed up immediately when they see you.

[long pecan]

ye almost all ghosts speeds up slowly over 13 seconds until they hit 1.65x max speed (i think these are the numbers)

[wise oyster]

yes, 5% base speed per second it sees you, up to a total of +65% above base speed. It slows down 5x slower than it speeds up

[random stratus]

not necessarily, since crucifixes have longer ranges than candles, so it can burn a cruci and still not be an onryo

[fallow sleet]

I think jinn do as well, but I can't remember.

[carmine forum]

Def mare bro he was running as fast as he could he ain’t even see me tho💀

[wise oyster]

T2 cruci covers the firelight's range for Onryo purposes

[wise oyster]

Jinn has both normal LoS and its instant speedup ability trait

[long pecan]

sounds like hantu moroi thaye or raiju depending on the circumstances

[carmine forum]

Nah it was mare and I guessed rev

[random stratus]

nevermind i was wrong, the interaction range for the candle is longer than the T2 cruci

[wise oyster]

Mare is a normal speed ghost that is not identifiable during a hunt.

[long pecan]

only t3 cruci is bigger

which is why i like t2 more on 0 evi

its also easier to demon test with a t2 bc i dont have to put it 14 miles from the ghost room

[carmine forum]

Ye u a goat fr

[long pecan]

i hate mare :D:D:D:D

i guess them based off of activity tho

[carmine forum]

I love its ability but I never get it

[wise oyster]

The Cheat Sheet can help with a lot of this, too. Packed with info and tools.

[long pecan]

i dont
ive had more mares do "mare ability" (get lucky and insta turn off light) than mares do one

ive also had games where i fished for it (using a stop watch to make sure im waiting 10s between flicks) over 100 times and never got (ik they have to be close to the switch so it was probably more like 30-40 but still)

[wise oyster]

Yup, and there's Justly "Mare" clip

[long pecan]

hey! i had that one!

it was a phantom

we almost insta left on mare

but then it decided to pretend to be twins

[fallow sleet]

I forgot how easy they are to loop.

[wise oyster]

Yeah I still remember an Oni that did it in Willow's basement. Not the only but that's the one that sticks in my memory

[long pecan]

so we waited for a hunt

and it was invisible :D

[mighty reef]

dont lie, ghost orbs is mimic evidence

[long pecan]

phantoms are the only ghost that still scare me

[long pecan]

no its not an evidence its a ghost trait

[wise oyster]

depends how you define "evidence"

[mighty reef]

if you can capture it into your journal, its evidence

[long pecan]

it shows up in 0 evidence so it cant be evidence 🤓☝️

[fallow sleet]

In two or lower, yeah.

[wise oyster]

By the game term, Mimic orbs are not "evidence." By plain English, orbs are evidence of a mimic.

[mighty reef]

misnomer

[long pecan]

🔥

poetry

[carmine forum]

I been confused forever about them do the ghost orbs only show where the mimic is standing

[wise oyster]

They look and behave identical to other ghost orbs. They're always in the favorite room, constantly appear and disappear, etc

[carmine forum]

So it’s just u gotta be lucky😂

[wise oyster]

I'd say not be unlucky

It's usually pretty easy to spot orbs unless they're clipping into the walls or something

[random stratus]

actually they're the same range, 5 meters

[wise oyster]

Big "yes, but..." there

For normal blowout interactions, yes, ghosts have a 5m range, BUT for the purposes of preventing an Onryo from hunting, it's only a 4m range.

[long pecan]

^

ive had lucky ass onryos hunt on t3 crucis from the tiny spot not covered by my triangle

[random stratus]

one sec I'll reply in a minute

[random stratus]

so the candle that prevents the onryo hunt is 4m?

basically the one that acts like the cruci

[wise oyster]

yeah, it's weird like that

[random stratus]

it most definitely is

[wise oyster]

the same candle, but depending on why it's being blown out, the range is different

[carmine forum]

It says poltergeist is stronger when it can throw stuff what does that mean

[fallow sleet]

Recently unlocked tier 3 flashlight. Am I right for thinking I should buy it last (once I have more tier 2 stuff)?

[wise oyster]

depends how heavily you use it. It's a nice upgrade

[wise oyster]

Most likely alluding to the fact that its multithrow (Polter bomb) ability can drain sanity

[wise oyster]

But also it's been a long time since I went through the upgrades. I forget what you have at that point

and they changed it up where you get choices now

[fallow sleet]

I'm level 35 right now. Have every tier 2 main equipment and the crucifix.

I was just curious if there's anything more useful that I can unlock (photo camera, microphone, or sound sensor), or if I should save for something like the tier 2 incense.

[wise oyster]

T2 paramic is kinda nice, extends the range from 20m to 30m. Good if you do larger maps. The T2 smudge is the favorite of many people (myself included). The photo cam doesn't change much, and sound sensor you could ignore forever and not miss it

[fallow sleet]

Also tripod, but right now I can't afford it.

[wise oyster]

T2 tripod is actually nice, since you can rotate it from the van

[random stratus]

out of all these I'd say T2 incense is the most useful

[icy yoke]

Glowstick is the best

[wise oyster]

ngl I'd prolly take T3 UV if it worked with Flashlights turned off

[carmine forum]

What ghost fully closes doors

[fallow sleet]

Yurei.

All of them can slam doors shut, but the Yurei is the only one that does it slowly.

[fickle meteor]

slowly?

[fallow sleet]

They can fully close doors slower than other ghosts.

[wise oyster]

Yurei is easier to rule out than confirm these days. Even when not doing its ability, Yurei will also fully open or close a door when it touches it. If a ghost touches a door and it only moves a little, you can cross off Yurei

[random stratus]

okay did i misunderstand the Onryo? we waited around, right? it blew out three candles, it didn't hunt, so we ruled out the onryo, did we do it wrong?

i thought it was:
blow out three candles
attempt to hunt after blowing out the third candle

[wise oyster]

The 3 blowout test sucks

[random stratus]

its not even consistent in its rules, which makes it even worse

[wise oyster]

20s test rules

[wise oyster]

it works, but it's too prone to misinterpretation or user error

[random stratus]

elaborate

[wise oyster]

People either lose count, and so what they think was the 3rd is actually the 4th canceling the hunt, or Onryo can't hunt due to smudge, setup time, cooldown

[random stratus]

no mate like it didn't hunt at all, it blew out countless candles

[random stratus]

neither of these were the case

[wise oyster]

Yeah, tha'ts my point

you're waiting for it to hunt, and instead you keep providing it candles that keep it from hunting

[random stratus]

but, okay so, we had three candles, it blew out all three, should it not have hunted? or attempted to? assuming there was no cooldown, or smudge?

[wise oyster]

If those were the only 3 flames in the entire round it blew out, yes

But there's no reason to bring 3 candles, 1 is all you need.

it could even blow out your lighter and that counts

[fluid stratus]

what I do is I only have one candle, and don't relight it for at least 10 seconds because the hunt seems to have some kind of delay

[random stratus]

so it will hunt once every 3 candles are blown out? so say 4 are blown out, would it need to blow out two more?

[random stratus]

20 seconds, not 10

[fluid stratus]

oh dang 20? I've only gotten as late as 6ish

[wise oyster]

20s test (simple, fool-proof): When a candle is blowing out, immediately relight it. If it blows it out again in under 20s, confirmed Onryo.
Even better: place the candle on a T2 cruci. Again, keep the candle lit. If cruci burns while candle is lit, confirmed NOT Onryo.

[wise oyster]

You're not getting 3 blowout, you're just timing the blowouts

[random stratus]

ofc, im not trying to act like the 3 candle test is the only way or even the best way to identify an onryo, im more so... annoyed, because i thought i understood it correctly, but i didn't

in other words, its a skill issue, i wanna make sure i understand the three candle test so i can always do it

[random stratus]

.

[wise oyster]

If I really wanted to confirm that test, I'd go in on a 3ev game, confirm Onryo before ever bringing in any firelights or lighters, then bring 1 into its room and let it blow it out once at a time. Maybe even pick up the candle each time so there's no chance it blows out my lighter.

[wise oyster]

Yeah if a 4th stops the hunt, it counts as the 1st in the next cycle of 3

[random stratus]

ah so, make sure the third one to be blown out isn't accidentally the 4th, because it will stop a hunt and force you to repeat the process?

[serene garnet]

Oh hey, its u

[analog widget]

yes indeed

[wise oyster]

Exactly, and if that happens usually the player doesn't know where they are in the cycle (or they don't know there is a cycle). It's so easy to miss a blowout unless you were thinking about it the whole round, and not everyone knows lighters can be blown out and count

[random stratus]

okay now THIS makes sense

[analog widget]

Hi Vandelay

[random stratus]

thank you Vandelay, helpful as always

[wise oyster]

I like making non-Onryos "prove" themselves by keeping a firelight lit on top of a cruci.

[wise oyster]

what up

[random stratus]

no literally, if i see you in chat, I'll ask you a question before looking through the wiki and unofficial cheat sheet

[random stratus]

you and Grimm

[analog widget]

Should I do one more submission for the challenge

[serene garnet]

Yes

[wise oyster]

Well most of my knowledge comes from those and the testing the people who make them have conducted.

[wise oyster]

Yeah you know you should

[analog widget]

I've been procrastinating doing a submission since I need 3 people

I keep saying tomorrow

[wise oyster]

lol find people in LFG to help you

[serene garnet]

I’m always down to play phasmo

That too

[wise oyster]

"LFG not for a game. Just need a few people for a screenshot I wanna get"

[serene garnet]

Lmao

[wise oyster]

"You'll need to just sit there for about an hour while I move everything into place, unless you wanna help"

[gentle summit]

Do we know when Nell's is dropping?

[random stratus]

well yeah but the point is that i find your info equally as useful

[wise oyster]

nope, no clue yet, just guesses

[analog widget]

Good point

[gentle summit]

Sounds good!

[serene garnet]

Sounds abt right

[analog widget]

I'll do that tmr

[serene garnet]

Bet, if u need a last person, u can always @ me

[small dagger]

I think it would be safe to assume it will drop around Christmas time or very early 2026 based on the announcement time, but I could be totally wrong

[gentle summit]

Probably, hopefully Halloween

[ivory urchin]

good morning people

[serene garnet]

“Gm” marsh

[wise oyster]

that feels maybe possible. We'll be able to make a better guess when it moves into testing on the trello. In the last dev preview, several of the map pics were still artwork, not screenshots.

[ivory urchin]

hello emplex how u doin

[serene garnet]

I’m ok, just vibing, wbu

[small dagger]

I would have guessed that too but the announcement of the Grafton rework happening so long before it happened makes me think Nell's will be late Q4 or early Q1 2026

[ivory urchin]

ngl same but checking if the onryo bug is still around

[wise oyster]

Nell's Diner has actually not even been "in progres" for 2 months yet

[gentle summit]

Makes sense

[ivory urchin]

i've seen from the chats earlier onryo still kinda bugged

[serene garnet]

Onryo bug?

[ivory urchin]

with firelights

[wise oyster]

being able to light them? that's been fixed

[random stratus]

no, i think i did it wrong

[serene garnet]

They work fine for me

[ivory urchin]

i wish i can light an onryo on fire

[wise oyster]

Onryo is my favorite ghost I think

[ivory urchin]

ah no i had an onryo spawn literally on top of a firelight

[random stratus]

mine is Raiju

i like it as a ghost and the concept behind its mythology

[ivory urchin]

all i can say is i hate banshees still

[wise oyster]

yeah no hate for Raiju, they're cool.

[ivory urchin]

i came back to play phas 2 weeks ago i get welcomed by three banshees out of 5 games

[serene garnet]

Did it blow all 3 out then do it?

[ivory urchin]

it blew 3 firelights then spawned on top of my 4th firelight

i was doing my usual shenanigans

[wise oyster]

[ivory urchin]

singing happy birthday to the ghost

[serene garnet]

That can happen, if it blows out 3 then it hunts regardless

[ivory urchin]

yeah the fourth should have acted like a cruci but it didnt

some people never changes

[serene garnet]

That’s not how that works, unless it’s a cruci, it can spawn

[ivory urchin]

wait it does not act like a cruci anymore?

onryo has been changed?

[wise oyster]

Onryo can't hunt within 4m of a lit flame, it treats it as a cruci

[ivory urchin]

that's what i thought

and that's exactly why i said my onryo was bugged

[wise oyster]

I gotta be honest, I'd have to see a clip to believe that

[ivory urchin]

always that kind of guy, van. i like it

[serene garnet]

Oh, i didn’t know that

[ivory urchin]

i'll try to find the clip if it's still in my cached recordings

[wise oyster]

that feels backhanded, but you know I'm gonna shoot straight with you

[prisma laurel]

[ivory urchin]

no. that's what i like about you sometimes, you doubt me a lot

i forgot i need to add emotes to make it sound im being sarcastic at the last part

[serene garnet]

I mean when stuff like that happens, it is hard to believe. Hell, i had a jinn turn off a breaker at one point

[ivory urchin]

or people will think im actually serious

[wise oyster]

fair enough. I'm always learning new nuances and stuff myself, but I'm skeptical by nature

[ivory urchin]

from experience its because the jinn turned on too many lights

[wise oyster]

Or you turned on too many minus one, and the Jinn turned on the last one

[ivory urchin]

i've encountered an obake that turned into itself.

crouching demon baby to standing demon baby

never knew it could do that

[serene garnet]

It was a fresh game, everyone said the same thing and that it wasn’t possible but i did one input after turning on 5 lights on willow, turned on then it immediately shut off

[magic tiger]

What if phasmo had a new technique to stay safe from ghosts hunts where the ghosts can't kill the player if their weakness is nearby. (Ofc wouldn't be applicable to all ghosts)

Like if the player is standing or equipped with a candle, the onryo would just ignore the player around the candle.

[wise oyster]

yup, def seen that. Even seen clips of Obake doing that when it's the same model completely. It goes from the "walking" animation to the "standing/idle" animation for one blink. It's a set rotation and it doesn't skip its own model.

[ivory urchin]

i'll take skepticism on that one because I have never seen that happen before in my life too and I would dare question them myself

[random stratus]

i focus more on learning tricks than abilities themselves, and i usually use more... "out of the box" methods for identifying ghosts

[left karma]

This ghost just doesn't want to give me video evidence

[random stratus]

the abilities just let me narrow it down further

[serene garnet]

I mean the obake can technically transform into any ghost model

[ivory urchin]

yeah my fave was when patient 07 moon walks only if she is an obake

best shit ive ever seen

[serene garnet]

A qa person even said it wasn’t possible but it happened to me somehow

[magic tiger]

Gotta work for that perfect game

[serene garnet]

Lmfao

[left karma]

It’s been 15 minutes

[ivory urchin]

i thought that was the case too ngl

[serene garnet]

Wdym

[left karma]

It only gives video evidence when I’m inside and can’t record

[ivory urchin]

yeah getting a perfect game nowadays is really a pain in the ass but that should be how it should be

perfect should never be easy

[wise oyster]

Firelights, crucis, salt, objects thrown, doors moved, lights switched. There are lots of video options. It won't throw if the lights are on.

[left karma]

It’s doing all that it’s just not when I’m actually recording

[wise oyster]

if you're playing an evidence game, see if there are any that can be recorded.

[left karma]

It’s a myling

[wise oyster]

yeah basically gotta sit there with the videocam ready to record anything

[wise oyster]

Myling has Writing, could bring in the other book

[ivory urchin]

you have to right click to record right

[wise oyster]

yeah and hold

[ivory urchin]

yeah maybe bro aint doing that

i learned that the hard way

[wise oyster]

yeah better to leave with what you have than die ofc

the perfect bonus itself isn't worth nearly as much as the media required for it, so partial wins are still wins

[random stratus]

this will be written on my grave istg

[left karma]

I DIES

With two video

[serene garnet]

Wdym

[random stratus]

@wise oysteralso, in the event that it is a banshee, say there are two players in the house, and the third player is in the van (the third player is the target), will the banshee still only target one player?

[wise oyster]

noooo, that's the one thing you weren't supposed to do

[neon thunder]

i legit dont understand hitboxes, sometimes i can slide by the ghost with no problem other times i die from 5 feet away while the ghost is looking in the wrong direction

[random stratus]

if that makes sense, like as long as there are two or players, will the banshee only target one?

[wise oyster]

It targets like normal there

[left karma]

The crucifix didn’t work

[vestal ferry]

I told you this earlier

[left karma]

It was in range too

[vestal ferry]

i was ignored. Damn

[wise oyster]

often lag, especially if you're playing multiplayer and not the host

[random stratus]

wait me?

[vestal ferry]

Yeah

[neon thunder]

im on single player but yea i get that

[random stratus]

wait no, let me go back

[neon thunder]

also never noticed this but has the ghost always gotten stuck on the sides of the painting on ridge views main looping spot.. seems like it just started happening for me

[random stratus]

wait no, i asked "will it hunt if the target is not inside the house, but is below 50% sanity"

[ivory urchin]

in my mind the code should have worked as if the ghost can turn into any other ghost model except its own, since it is the one it currently has picked

[random stratus]

and what i asked Vandelay was "will it still target only one player"

[vestal ferry]

I know. I elaborated below the original answer

[ivory urchin]

lets say

[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
you are currently 7

you picked [6]
then you picked [7] while being [7] i dont think that is how it be

[wise oyster]

oh it was a sanity question, yes, Banshee can hunt up to 92% average sanity if 3 people have 100% and the target has 50%

no matter where the target is

[random stratus]

no no, i wanted to know if it targets one player regardless of whether the target is in the house or not

[serene garnet]

Oh ok

[wise oyster]

yes Banshee only cares about target's sanity, not target's location

[wise oyster]

It would be a very simple fix, tbh. If I had to guess, they haven't bothered b/c they're gonna replace the models anyway

[random stratus]

no no, okay so, say you are playing with three others, you're the target and your sanity is below 50%:

if you're not in the house, will it still focus on one player only? or will it just hunt whichever one of the two players it sees?

[ivory urchin]

yeah from testing before the new media was introduced, we got the banshee target into a van princess and GLUG GLUGGED ALL sanity meds. we did not get a hunt

[random stratus]

does this make more sense?

[vestal ferry]

Acts like normal ghost during hunt if target isnt in house

[random stratus]

thank you

[wise oyster]

It will still hunt because the target is under 50%. It will target like a normal ghost and go after anyone

[vestal ferry]

Which i said earlier

[left karma]

I can’t tell if it’s ghost orbs or snow coming through the house

[ivory urchin]

only if the target's sanity is within hunting range

[random stratus]

i know i know, i was just explaining what i meant to vandelay, apparently i suck at explaining

[vestal ferry]

Orbs dancy around. Snow goes down

[random stratus]

one goes up and down, the other doesn't

[ivory urchin]

i orb i go around in circles
snow: drops

[acoustic badge]

Orbies floatie, snow down

[vestal ferry]

Throw on some rave music and a rainbow rave overlay

[ivory urchin]

hello minny!

[random stratus]

gravity =D

[acoustic badge]

MARSHY MA BOI!

[ivory urchin]

i love this idea i might do it

[acoustic badge]

Yassirrr

[vestal ferry]

Dancing orbies be like

[ivory urchin]

how u doin minny

[wise oyster]

[random stratus]

@wise oysteri remember you saying something about this a while back, but yk the "the ghost will only throw things when the room is dark", does that apply for the poltergeists ability as well?

[acoustic badge]

Me doin okieee, how's your life going on recently. Hope the work doesnt be too much

[random stratus]

will it only use its ability if the room is dark?

[wise oyster]

no, polter ability can be done in lighted rooms

[acoustic badge]

Iirc polty can still use abilities to throw. Just cant throw normally with lights on

[random stratus]

oh okay, so its ability ignores that rule, good to know

[wise oyster]

also fun fact polter can do its ability on a single object if that's all that's in range

[random stratus]

so ability => yes
normal throw => no?

[random stratus]

what would that even look like? to me the idea of "polty bomb" is multiple things being thrown

[wise oyster]

one item getting launched, basically. Think of it of just like a AoE bomb. If it's in a spot where there are no objects, nothing gets thrown.

[pastel rampart]

just one thing being thrown

[ivory urchin]

oh boy i wish work is like phasmo brother it would have been easier

[acoustic badge]

Man i also hoped the same man 😭

[left karma]

what all monkey paws can you do?

I know about sunrise

[wise oyster]

-paw

[prime elk]

🐒 Monkey Paw

One of the seven Cursed Possessions, activate it with Right Click, speak a wish to the paw, and see that it has been granted.. at a cost.

Functions

• Discover the wishes that can be granted by finding tags scattered throughout Sunny Meadows!
• This paw has several different wishes that can be granted, but comes with a side of consequence.. do you dare try it?
• This paw will effectively grant your wish, but each wish comes with a downside.. is it worth it?

[left karma]

They're not working??

[wise oyster]

What are you trying?

[left karma]

Knowledge and weather

[wise oyster]

You can only use weather once, so if you did sunrise you can't change it again.

Does spirit box work for you?

[left karma]

Yeah

[wise oyster]

ok, so your voice rec should be good. Idk I've heard of some people who have issues w/ paw and ouija even though their spirit box works. Not sure if that's a real thing

[distant scroll]

Is the new “ghostbuster” card real? And is it true you gotta do APOC 3, and put the potato in the washing machine?

[wise oyster]

100% fake

[distant scroll]

Fr? I’ve seen a handful of people post about it

[wise oyster]

it's a well-made vid, so it looks convincing

[distant scroll]

Hm alright, thanks!

[prime elk]

mezzojd

And that person might’ve thought it was real. Though there are other encouraging it even though they know it’s fake.

[wise oyster]

Pin? 🥺

not that one necessarily, just something to point to

[odd vale]

That idea was sadly rejected

[lime holly]

pinning the notice about the fake badge was rejected?

[wise oyster]

Maybe you just type out what you would've pinned, and it's something a helpful member might be able to find to inform a curious passerby?

[odd vale]

It’s okay. It’s pretty much just as fast to say it’s fake as it is yo direct people to pins

And I guess it would later be shared to members?

[wise oyster]

that's true, most just say "okay"

[lime holly]

true. Just a difference of what we say:
“fake”
“check pins”

[random stratus]

once again i get fucked over by our lord and savior RNGesus

[wise oyster]

having a mod say it lends more weight if needed

but it'll die down I'm sure

[neon thunder]

i looooove hitboxes maan... makes looping around nothing so horrible its skill with alot of hope that the ghost doesnt just kill you for no reason at all

or maybe its a skill issue idk i havent decided yet

[tough storm]

Which imo is a pain 😔🥀

[wise oyster]

It'd be nice for sanity draining

but usually you don't need to change it twice

[tough storm]

Yuh huh, sanity drain

[civic tiger]

Did they nerf the nightvision on the video cameras? I used to use it instead of bringing in a flashlight but it's just as bad as not having a light...

[glad lagoon]

Um how do I fix the black screen glitch on truck camera or is it a new one that hasn’t been fixed yet? On console

[stone spear]

just found out moroi's ability works through sound recorder. it refused to give any other evidence except writing which happened instantly. i went from 90% to 50% in a few seconds after getting the recording. i dont play phas very often anymore so i still had no clue it did work

[surreal yoke]

Is there a spefic ghost that cries while hunting?

dont believe so

[surreal yoke]

is there one thats more verbal while hunting than the others?

[leaden ivy]

the only ghosts that factor in noise differently, iirc, are the myling (you can't hear its footsteps until it gets close enough) and yokai (which can't hear you unless it gets closer)

[surreal yoke]

oh alright

[leaden ivy]

whatever noises a ghost makes during a hunt otherwise are no indication of what type it is

There are unique sound effects when it is passive, like banshee screams/deo spirit box, but not hunting

[surreal yoke]

Can phantoms show up on videos?

[leaden ivy]

yeah

[south furnace]

I'm tired of getting bullied for being under the age of 18

This community really sicks

Sucks*

[leaden ivy]

is it because you're under 18, or is it because you sound extremely young?

[leaden ivy]

get a voice mod program to deepen your voice

[solemn stream]

Why would you report someone for not wanting to play with literal children

[fickle meteor]

said bullying

xD

[leaden ivy]

There's a difference between "i don't want to play with a child" and actively bullying/harassing the child

[fickle meteor]

if theyre just kicking u then it isnt bullying

maybe it was a figure of speech

[solemn stream]

Idk

Most people just don’t wanna play with kids

For kinda obvious reasons

[fickle meteor]

true

[leaden ivy]

yeah, can't really fault em for that

[magic copper]

yo devs your game is bugged

i got revived by high priestess in a solo game i got revived and the game ended and it counted as me dying

???

rip all my fkn equipment

[zinc coyote]

#bug-reports

[runic void]

think theyll ever add 5-8 player lobbies or at least private lobbies?

[zinc coyote]

Private lobbies are a thing already

[runic void]

yea but i mean just able to hold more than 4

[zinc coyote]

Doubt it

[white rapids]

Guys I have a huge question
Does the equipment in the van count as a loss?
I've been playing solo and I always bring a full van, but even as I escape and guess the ghost correctly I lose more than what I leave in the house

[fickle meteor]

if ulose the round

[zinc coyote]

Consumables dont carry over if you use them

[white rapids]

But like
I never even touch some of the stuff and it still disappears

[zinc coyote]

If you die then yeah

[raw hemlock]

You know what I'd love for the Prestige system? In the game Payday 2, there's two Prestige Systems. There's the normal one, where you reset your level from 100 and start from zero, or, once you hit 100, there's a meter that fills up whenever you would normally gain XP instead. If you fill this meter, you can Prestige by resetting this meter instead of your level. The downside to the meter is that it takes slightly longer to fill the meter than it does to go from level zero to one hundred.

I wish Phas had a system like that. Maybe it could be something like, if you hit Level 200, you can sacrifice 100 levels instead? That way you keep all your Equipment and Money. Yeah, it would take significantly longer, of course, but that'd be the trade-off.

Idunno. I just hate losing all my gear and having to use the Tier 1 stuff, but I really wanna get the Prestige Cards, 'cause holy Hell they look badass.

[runic void]

doesnt sound like a bad idea

[white rapids]

The thing is... I don't die most of the times
I sometimes even get out before the 5 minute timer ends

[fickle meteor]

then u dont lose items :D

[zinc coyote]

Check how much your loadout cost vs how much you make too

[white rapids]

Wait what?

[fickle meteor]

yeah whats ur loadout

and what difficulty do u play

[raw hemlock]

You don't lose any equipment as long as you don't die, even if you leave it in the house. (Shout-out to the Equipment Recovery team, because they literally don't get paid)

Consumables, of course, do get lost on use; thankfully they're the cheaper items.

[fickle meteor]

aaah

[raw hemlock]

Speaking of Prestige Level, that reminds me...

The patch on your character's arm. What determines that? Is it just your Prestige Level?

[zinc coyote]

Yes

[white rapids]

So... Lost items are stuff like lighters and pills?

[raw hemlock]

There's no way to change it, I'm assuming?

[zinc coyote]

Anything marked as consumable

[zinc coyote]

Prestiging

[raw hemlock]

Good to know.

Maybe when they drop the character customization update, we'll be able to change it.

[zinc coyote]

Would be nice

[white rapids]

So
Sorry if I sound a little dense, but
That's lost regardless or only if I use it (even for multi use stuff)

[zinc coyote]

Even if youre p20 and have a p1 card equipped itll stay as the p20 badge on your arm

[zinc coyote]

Anything marked as a consumable, aka pills will not be saved if theyre used. A cruci will be saved if a ghost doesnt burn it but if it does, you gotta buy another

[white rapids]

Ohhhhhhhh
Thanks!

[zinc coyote]

Difficulty matters too, if youre playing on something like amature you wont earn much

So removing some stuff from the loadout may help or turning off auto equip loadout

[white rapids]

So, like
If I go with barely the necessary stuff I'm not losing that much stuff?

[zinc coyote]

Pretty much

[raw hemlock]

Here's a little fun tip, also: if you can run perfect games on x5 or better, you'll make around $2k+ on average. The cost of a full loadout (literally every item) is like $2200 or so.

So once you can reach that point, you'll probably never have to worry about equipment costs again.

[white rapids]

Ohh
Thanks again :D

[zinc coyote]

If youre playing with a full squad sure, bring everything

If youre solo you dont really need a full loadout

And ofc, dying makes you lose everything

[raw hemlock]

Yeah, like you really only need one of each Main Equipment for Solo. Maybe extra Video Cameras and Tripods if you just like using those.

Always bring 4 Incenses and 2 Crucifixes, though.

[lime holly]

for some additonal math. between the levels 100-999, each level is fixed at 4971 xp. So getting to 200 from 100 would be 497,100 total xp while going from 0 to 100 is approx 283k. Would you still want the difference to be this big? Its definitely more than "slightly longer"

[raw hemlock]

Sure, it takes a lot longer, but not losing money or equipment still makes it an okay trade-off.

[lime holly]

fair enough. I wouldnt mind it, but I doubt they'd add it

[raw hemlock]

Probably not, unfortunately.

[slow spade]

it's kind of the whole point of prestiging though. forcing you to reset to the beginning every time. tbf I wish they added something extra you get everytime you prestige as right now resetting 20 times is abnoxious. Progression 2.0 is literally just another shitty update with no future proofing in mind at all.

[lime holly]

Id rather more prestiges than increasing the level cap from 999 to 9999 imo

[slow spade]

ofc lmao

[lime holly]

just watch them add prestiges 21-50 later

[slow spade]

I don't mind icl

although prestige 50 is not really that much...

[lime holly]

still id just feel bad about losing so much xp

especially those ppl who will reach 3000+

[slow spade]

it will be the same problem in the end of the day

[cedar shoal]

real, my least favorite update

[atomic leaf]

I wouldn't even care

at least it will be something new to grind towards

[lime holly]

fair

[slow spade]

hop that ass back on paw twin

[raw hemlock]

It would certainly be cool if we got more for Prestiging, yeah.

Did just think of one idea, but it doesn't address what you said. When you hit Prestige 1, you permanently unlock all Tier 1 Equipment, then Prestige 2 unlocks all Tier 2 Equipment, and Prestige 3 unlocks all Tier 3 Equipment?

Other than that, Idunno what you would add for Prestige Levels.

[atomic leaf]

💔

[lime holly]

still tho over 50 million xp gone is insane. maybe they'd give something in return for that

kinda like the legacy plaque

[slow spade]

not again 😔

[atomic leaf]

that would be cool

[slow spade]

but yeah I fw that

[raw hemlock]

I felt ripped off when progression changed because my Level was like, 294, I think? So getting reset to Prestige 1 Level 1 felt like kind of a rip-off...

[lime holly]

just something to recognize the work of grinding 50million+ xp after hitting 20

[raw hemlock]

And I have seen people who had higher levels than that...

[cedar shoal]

I think the devs should make prestige worth something before adding more

[raw hemlock]

The ID Cards up to Prestige 20 are very cool, but it only goes up to 20... And I really don't know what else you could really give for Prestige Levels....

[lime holly]

im praying the character customization update makes prestiges worth it

[cedar shoal]

this

[slow spade]

it would be such a missed opportunity if they dont

[raw hemlock]

More than likely, yeah, when we get character customization, we'll probably get some Prestige Items... Hopefully.

[slow spade]

along with giving people stuff the spend their money on

[atomic leaf]

I can't wait to rock my point hope jacket and camp woodwind pants

[slow spade]

my brownstone boots

[cedar shoal]

ah I know something good, add another custom slot per prestige?

[raw hemlock]

I hope I get something cool for Apoc Legend...

😭

[slow spade]

Tanglewood tuxedo 😌

[raw hemlock]

Couldn't hurt!

[atomic leaf]

I'm sure there will be something for the trophies

[slow spade]

getting 20 would be nice, 10 aint enough 🥀🥀🥀

[raw hemlock]

Imagine for Sunny Meadows you get like an Asylum Uniform or something

[cedar shoal]

3*

[raw hemlock]

Or you could dress like the Patient Ghost.

Actually, what if we COULD cosplay as the Ghosts in-game? That could lead to some... Interesting interactions.

[atomic leaf]

🥀

[slow spade]

wait the custom equipment slots?

[alpine sparrow]

10 unique UV photos + being individual is really bad as a weekly

[neat burrow]

hey have ghost ball events become one sided because sometimes im not able to see or hear it even though the person im playing with is?

[cedar shoal]

no, customs you said 10 int enough I meant custom difficulty slots

[raw hemlock]

I have like, nine so far and most of them have been footprints. It's really not that awful... Unless you're playing on zero Evidence, I guess.

[alpine sparrow]

it it was whole lobby it wouldnt suck but each person needing to take the 10 themselves is bad

[fervent bridge]

Every 200 lvls after xx-1000 should be a new color option 😫

[slow spade]

come rock the poltergeist polo with me twin 📝📝

[cedar shoal]

if this makes sence

[slow spade]

yeah mb thought you were talking about the item equipment slots

[alpine sparrow]

i generally dont like the "get this specific evidence" ones but requiring unique photos makes it the worst one by far imo

[cedar shoal]

nah, we have to many of those lol

or at least for me

[slow spade]

not enough though 👅

never enough

[alpine sparrow]

cus im pretty sure they just translated the old photo weekly into the new system

[raw hemlock]

Hey @cedar shoal, I have a question. Should I do 50 Point Hope runs to get the ID Card?

[cedar shoal]

lets add another 10 more

[slow spade]

1 per level pretty please 😌

[atomic leaf]

rot

[cedar shoal]

I mean it's a good ID card

[raw hemlock]

It is!

[slow spade]

Tanglewood main bathroom loop when

[cedar shoal]

It's torture, but it's worth

[atomic leaf]

I think I did that already

[cedar shoal]

good luck

[atomic leaf]

actually I might be thinking of edgefield

[slow spade]

yeah

you are lmao

[atomic leaf]

I'll get around to it 🥀

[slow spade]

tw main bathroom I learned about yesterday tried for 30m and got fucked over

it's so hard bro

[cedar shoal]

who wants to try looping in down stairs edgefield bathroom?

[slow spade]

and that is straight up impossible 😭

[atomic leaf]

I'm thinking about it right now and Idk how im gonna do it LOL

[slow spade]

have you ever done point hope hallway?

[atomic leaf]

I've never even tried it

[slow spade]

it's so much harder than that

[atomic leaf]

I want to do Tangle boys room too

[raw hemlock]

Maybe Point Hope would be better if it had an elevator.

...Can Lighthouses have elevators...?

[slow spade]

omg 😭 main bathroom is another beast compared to it

[cedar shoal]

the devs won't ever program that lol

[atomic leaf]

damn maybe I just do that instead 💀

[slow spade]

give it a try atleast

[cedar shoal]

that would be hard

[raw hemlock]

Maybe just reduce the chance for a Ghost to select the higher floors as their Favorite Rooms, then.

[high oxide]

I’d love that because all of my ghosts are either at the very top, or they’re at the bottom but didn’t do anything until after I checked every other floor 3 times 😐

I straight up do not play point hope solo anymore.

[cedar shoal]

I always get 15x jinn in the lantern room, I'm still traumatized from the last one

[raw hemlock]

I've never tried Lighthouse Solo, but I bet I would regret it if I did.

[cedar shoal]

it's so badddd

[raw hemlock]

Oh, yenno one thing they should drop with the Character Customization? Make it so ID Card Titles can be selected separate from the card itself.

It couldn't be that hard to do, right?

[cedar shoal]

what do you mean select separate?

Okay, so the Apoc Legend card says "Apoc Legend" at the top, right? What if you could have the Apoc Legend Card, but it says "Investigator" on it instead?

[cedar shoal]

ehhhhhh

I don't know about that one

[stark granite]

its not even in their sights?

[zinc coyote]

As far as I know, no. Game is still early access tho so its possible in the future

[frosty tangle]

This week's challenge is brutal

I completed it but realistically only because I was carried by prestige players infinitely better than me who also were struggling

[glacial stag]

i mean its alright

[frosty tangle]

For you maybe for me it was damn near impossible

I don't think I survived any of the rounds I got the ghost right on

It was wild

I was dumb though and one round it was a deo and I still died because I got caught on a table

[glacial stag]

oof

-# blesses everyone with a goryo in the cafeteria for this weekly

-# ur welcome

[normal epoch]

anyone actually legit XX-2000?

[zinc coyote]

Some are even higher than that legit

Justly for example

[normal epoch]

holy

[zinc coyote]

Hes in the xx 3000s

Im right behind at xx 300

[normal epoch]

dayum

how many hours it take?

[zinc coyote]

hes at a couple thousand

[normal epoch]

i’ve got 30 hours and i got prestige 2 today

idk if that’s any good

[zinc coyote]

Not bad at all

[normal epoch]

i just get carried lol no evidence at camp woodwind 11x

[ivory urchin]

let's gooooo you got this

[regal harbor]

personally I like to play the game a lot slower but that's just my play style

[lime token]

Everyone has their own unique playstyle ^^

[regal harbor]

I've gotten mimmiced twice today and that was some straight bullshit

I almost crashed out on the second time

[thorn spruce]

Ye i just dont bother with levels/prestige.

[regal harbor]

I got the Xbox preview of phasmo a while ago on console and going back to tier 1 gear is torture

[worthy mountain]

top 5 highest lvl players I know:

1. Justly 3300+
2. soshyrey 3250+
3. should be tenji, he reached 3k I guess
4. Trish / stafich - both around 2700+
5. Leona / Nyongja - 2600+

[lime token]

Should've never reset smh

[alpine flower]

Is the Onryo bugged rn? It hunted despite a lamp in the room being lit

[lime token]

It needs to be within 4m of the firelight, not just in the room

[slow spade]

were you like xx-1856?

you would of been around 2550 if you never reset I think

[main thistle]

Hello, I saw some TikTok videos about a new easter egg with a badge do you guys know if it's real or not? It's called ghost buster

[modern mauve]

It's fake

[main thistle]

Oh.... did that content creator did something in-game like modding? becasue the tag looks so real in the vid

Anyway I got pranked I thought it was real T-T

[verbal moat]

Mines being scared of every sound i hear fr

And seeing stuff

[frozen mortar]

Can anyone help me get 'The bait' achievement? Just need to do normal Professional games for it. I mostly play solo but this a multiplayer achievement

[neon flare]

just had a game with a ghost that did actually nothing, checked the whole house for 8 minutes, Activity Meter was dead silent, i figured it was a Moroi as a shade would at least act outside of my presence

[bronze lantern]

Any tips on Challenge mode?

[desert cedar]

every prison ghost is a cell block ghost 😭

[round oasis]

How fast is the deogen at maximum speed when close to the player? Like in custom settings you set the ghost speed to maximum

[neon thunder]

idk abt 150 speed but at 100 its max speed is 3.00m/s

[quartz quarry]

he asked "when close to the player" so it's prolly not 3.00 m/s except when it's away from you

[vestal ferry]

same speed as rev at fastest and slower than player walking speed no matter what, even at 150 ghost speed and 50 player speed.

[worthy mountain]

You mean at 150 % ghost speed?
0.4 m/s when distance between player and deogen is no more than 2.67 m, so 0.4 * 1.5 = 0.6 m/s

still slower than the player at 50 % speed

[neon thunder]

mb i cant read

[raw hemlock]

As much verticality as Point Hope has, (holy ten floors of stairs, Batman) should it be re-classified as a Large Map?

[neon thunder]

i think medium suits it, its no where near as big as sunny which is a large map

[slim whale]

It has 10 floors yes. But they are pretty much just somewhat larger rooms

[native frost]

GUYS THE TORTA CATCHER IS IN THE UK AND AMERICA HIDEEE UR TORTAS

[raw hemlock]

I like how unique of a map it is, but dislike how it seems like nobody really wants to play it.

Idunno how this could be fixed, honestly.

[slim whale]

The map is nice

[somber mason]

footsteps shouldn't be muffled between floors on point hope

[native frost]

HIDE UR TORTAS

[zinc coyote]

[indigo wind]

Bruh

Prison challenge mode be like "here's Johnny" as soon as you enter the facility

I'm gathering data on how to adapt my play style, so far the only one I've managed to pin I got lucky since it was a Yurei in the entrance room, and I was lucky enough to see it shut the front door without it being an event.

[steep pelican]

Boo

[indigo wind]

I do think this mode could be served by having tier 3 equipment for at least some items, but I understand if it's a fan favourite

I'm also like I can always take my tier 3 stuff to prison myself and I probably will after this week's three successful challenge games because it seems fun

[worn glade]

Yea, the challenge was just 'die to the ghost and try to identify it while you die'

[indigo wind]

Me closing my eyes while they get plucked out and trying to mentally scale up the hunting footprints to 125% and guess it

Got Moroi twice in a row and went to be like "ok game it'll be a Moroi again then"

Got stunted on by RNG

[worn glade]

I had a few cycles of absolute horridity
Then a deogen, hantu, deogen

Hantu is easy to tell when the breaker's gone

[indigo wind]

Yeah I'm going for the unique abilities more than evidence because it's just so fast to die

I check all the cams for orbs, stare a bit into the office windows so I can try and spot objects being thrown

That tier 1 camera is beyond useless.

And I hear the only way to fix brightness is gamma manipulation, but I refuse.

I will fumble in the dark as intended.

[tawny geyser]

AHH

[wise moss]

Give us a fire escape that lets you only go down so you have to walk up but you can get down fast

Lmao

[modern mauve]

I think a fire escape around the outside of the tower is a good idea

[slim whale]

Nyeh

[civic ice]

Dumb question how can I get better at 150 ghost speed

[indigo wind]

Counting footsteps is all I can do

Also it's not a dumb question, it's just people who mainline this game will make you feel dumb for it. Resist them.

[civic ice]

Like I’m good with no eve no sanity but can’t do apoc 3 lol

[indigo wind]

We're not even up to that yet 😂😭

I watched Cassan's videos on his assessments of ghost behaviour

I would watch brotato but he puts too much info downstream too fast

Maybe hovering at safe loop zones? Or do they not work on 150% apeed

[civic ice]

I could help you with no eve no sanity

[civic ice]

They do an don’t lol it’s just that it’s so confusing mostly cos it’s easier to tell when they are their normal speed

[indigo wind]

Fr fr

This 125% challenge has me like "Thaye! Wait..maybe Moroi?"

[civic ice]

See I’m good with 125 kinda cos it would be super obvious if it was fast ghosts but when comes down to like twins and normal ghosts I can’t

[zinc coyote]

[frank grove]

Been more than 2 months since I touched my PC, surely I'm missing Phasmophobia vibes

[pastel rampart]

What's up chat

[deft sand]

is the "most played location" bugged? I'm 100% certain it isn't Sunny Meadows Restricted for me, I basically never played the map and one day it went from Tanglewood to that

[swift herald]

can you put a photo camera on a stand?

[main meadow]

Nevemlaci yes
Shedletsky no

[swift herald]

it'd be good if you could though

[main meadow]

Nah one more reason for ppl to hide in van

[hearty onyx]

so guys i had an idea and it can get hate i guess just want other opinions would yall like special houses like the conjuring etc for like halloween events?

[main meadow]

No copyright stuff

[hearty onyx]

yeah but couldn’t they get a license or no

[main meadow]

Why not original like the redone farm houses

Why it gotta be a normal house like them movies but a cursed item basment

Or do you want 2 hours of ghosts standing over beds doing nothing

[deep acorn]

when roaming is high on the challenge mode and it was a goryo

[hearty onyx]

just wanna experience the house in vr i guess lol

[deep acorn]

[hearty onyx]

would be cool i suppose

[main meadow]

There's apps for that

I don't know what they are but there's apps for fucking everything

[hearty onyx]

still think it would be cool

[main meadow]

When you're looking for ideas for a video game to add stuff you got to think of multiple things like is a copyright is someone going to be interested what does it add to the game

You're asking for a normal house to be added basically edgefield kind of the same layout as that movie

[hearty onyx]

i’m new so i was just saying dumb things lol

like i just started 3 days ago

[main meadow]

Yeah we need new stuff like the new map that's coming out not even going to be a house

[hearty onyx]

i’m very enjoying the game so far was just tossing an idea out but i appreciate your honesty on it

i can see why some people wouldn’t care for it

[pastel rampart]

I think the diner will be cool

[main meadow]

No most people would tell you your ideas horrible then say shut up I at least give you an explanation why I believe it won't or can't be added or shouldn't

[slim whale]

Hi stone

[main meadow]

First new map in a while that I haven't been involved in development I'm actually going to be happily surprised no matter what it is

[pastel rampart]

You were involved in the development?

[hearty onyx]

yep appreciate that

[main meadow]

QA and staff for 3 years

[pastel rampart]

Ohhh nice

[hearty onyx]

it’s crazy the game has been out for 4 years and i just recently found it :/

[modern mauve]

5*

[swift herald]

guys the ghost keeps going right above freezing but do i need it to actually go below freezing

[hearty onyx]

yes

[modern mauve]

Well, it will be 5 in 15 days

[slim whale]

Happ birthday

[pastel rampart]

Needs to be below 1 degree

[slim whale]

Tier 1 thermo? Yes has to be below 0
Tier 2 and 3 can be 0.9

[swift herald]

they broke the mirror and died

[pastel rampart]

Do they typically do anything for the anniversary?

[modern mauve]

Sometimes yeah

They've hinted at doing something this year

[pastel rampart]

Oh I hope they do! I love phas events

[slim whale]

Will they remove point hope for a day?

[modern mauve]

"Thank you for all your support throughout the year so far. In September of this year, Phasmophobia celebrates its 5th anniversary and we’re putting together plans to celebrate this in a big way." From their last dev preview

[pastel rampart]

I hope not

[zinc coyote]

[cedar turtle]

52 minutes of Apoc 3, all 3 objectives, knew it was Hantu because I saw freezing breath.... just couldn't get the photo 🙁 🙁

[pastel rampart]

Rip

Sometimes it be that way

[slim whale]

Good try then

[cedar turtle]

i think I must've dropped an incense on the fire light as it didn't work 🙁

[cedar turtle]

yeah just another 30 resets to go until I get another decent objective list xD

[slim whale]

[pastel rampart]

We love that

[cedar turtle]

Oh we really do. Ruined my KD

[pastel rampart]

There's a kd in this game?

[cedar turtle]

Successfully guessed vs incorrect = KD

[pastel rampart]

Ohh

[slim whale]

I normally kill the ghost

So yes

[pastel rampart]

With what

[slim whale]

Shovel

[zinc coyote]

But theyre already dead..

[pastel rampart]

I prefer a glowstick

[zinc coyote]

[slim whale]

@zinc coyote !!!

[somber mason]

shovel kiting is outdated, get a shotgun

[zinc coyote]

[slim whale]

Shovel knight is top

[somber mason]

Not even the best one on the roster tbh

[soft fossil]

Hi, the last few days I've been facing the following problems with the game. Many times I can't get any items from the van at all or if I manage to get any item it will be after many attempts. Also it can let me step on the book for example but not let me get the salt or the sanity pills. Finally another problem is that I can't react with items, like the lights or even the key pad in the van...Is anyone else facing a similar problem?

[slim whale]

-fix
But what ur saying is new for me

[modern mauve]

Looks like you posted a tech support post about an hour ago, just gotta wait for someone to respond

[soft fossil]

I haven't problem with the internet connection. On the contrary, I have a very good connection.

[pastel rampart]

I do too but I have issues sometimes

[soft fossil]

idk

I restarted the game, reset the game controls, and reinstall the game. Unfortunately, the problem has not been fixed. I also verified the game files through Steam.

[hasty crown]

can ghosts start a hunt outside of its favourite room?

[pastel rampart]

If it roams yesa

[hasty crown]

especially goryo

[pastel rampart]

It can short roam

[hasty crown]

i was waiting for crucifix vid and i looked the ghost was coming towards me and i was like "ooh cool ghost vid"

then i got shot 57 times...

[pastel rampart]

Love that for you

[blissful badger]

i got booty cheeks clapped by the ghost in apoc 3 js now

yk how terrifying deos are when you’re slow

THEY SEEM SO FAST WHEN UOURE SLOW

[pastel rampart]

It was a deo?

[glacial stag]

yeah but by how much i dont remember, i just know its pretty short apparently

[blissful badger]

yeah i got the ghost photo and EVERYTGINT then the last objective was witness a ghost event…. i died trying to witness a ghost event

[glacial stag]

only way a goryo can hunt outside its room is from an event

[pastel rampart]

Never trust the internet

[glacial stag]

welcome to the internet

[hasty crown]

it did in my run...

[glacial stag]

any events? monkey paw?

[blissful badger]

i got a banshee scream then it was a totally different ghost one time

[hasty crown]

it didnt change the room but started hunt in other room

[pastel rampart]

I'd rather not

[slim whale]

Good morning shorky

[glacial stag]

sup

[slim whale]

How is you?

[blissful badger]

[hasty crown]

nope i was just sitting there and waiting for a video...

it didnt gave any event or anything

it roamed a lot tho..

stept on the salt in every other room ect..

idk man goryos are boring ghosts

[plush mountain]

Man, I just finished a game, had everything done, did a Summoning Cirlce hunt, and was about to leave with Onryo when I realized I forgot to check UV...

It was even a normal ghost during the hunt

[slim whale]

Deserved

[deft sand]

we just had 2 hantu-s today with no freezing

we got both right, hunting speed is too obvious

funny thing is the second one never changed room nor did it really roam

first one changed 5 times

[plush mountain]

Hantu is the other ghost that's always a red flag, but that would have been more obvious because I needed a hunt. I was actually going to trigger the Onryo ability at one point, but I decided to save the cruci. I'm glad I invested the sanity medication and extra salt to test for Mimic though lol

[cedar shoal]

it still wanders a little bit, not much

[deft sand]

idk hantu is easy to get

[deft sand]

they roam out, just never change rooms

iirc it should be less roamy as others tho

[stoic zealot]

Yah it doesn't have the ability to long roam

[cedar shoal]

it only goes about 3m out of the room, it won't go further than that

[stoic zealot]

I think

[cedar shoal]

unless it does a ghost event

[deft sand]

ye it cant do long roams

there is a "long roam" and a "short roam" mechanic

long roam is what allows a ghost to change their room iirc

[cedar turtle]

anyone else find taking a photo of the ghost the hardest part

makes apoc 3 impossible -.-
