phasmo-chat

[honest niche]

a library, an underground basement with 40 unique rooms for storage of all the school supplies and an external gym and shack

[void geode]

I think its funny my laptop can reach 100 frames on phasmo when it maxes out at 60 fps

[woven wren]

This is a neat idea

[honest niche]

😭

[vestal ferry]

Turn vsync on.

[modern mauve]

Just because the focus isn't on making big maps, doesn't mean they should be ignored entirely 🙁

[void geode]

Its not a bad thing its funny

[vestal ferry]

I mean its just normal without vsync

Thats how games run.

[void geode]

Its just funny

[honest niche]

ill play devils advocate here and say i imagine if we could see the % played on all the maps we would see a trend
big maps are just time sinks they dont add a fun complexity in my oppinion
it just slows the pace

[vestal ferry]

and i mean it can feel small if done right so all sections connect in some way

Like my higschool would have several classrooms connected with doors so traversing to other hallways was easy

[lusty jolt]

Hey guess quick question, im sure its been asked plenty of times but for freezing temps if using a tier 2 or 3 thermometer and it shows below 1 so 0.8 etc is that freezing temps? Or does it need to be in the negatives?

[honest niche]

under 1

[vestal ferry]

Like what i listed is half the size of my highschool and you could walk anywhere in under 5 minutes (thats all we got lmfao)

[lusty jolt]

Okay thank you, I always thkught it needed to be in the negatives till someone pointed it out so thanks

[native canopy]

i still want a haunted dentist office

[lime token]

It says in the journal now beside freezing which is neat

[worthy mural]

bruhhh reshade keeps crashing my game even on an older version

[vestal ferry]

Don't use reshade then

[worthy mural]

yeah that might have to be the move but i wanna see in the dark, i js started and i wanna practice looping the ghost

[vestal ferry]

You have plenty of options to loop with lights

[modern mauve]

You can use the map's lights, glowsticks, dots, firelights

[worthy mural]

some ghosts turn off lights when they hunt or no

[lime token]

No, they just flicker on and off

[worthy mural]

ah ok

do you play w filters or no

[lime token]

I play with em ya

[worthy mural]

luckyyyy

the one game that makes me want an nvidia card

[vestal ferry]

Amd also has options in their program

[worthy mural]

not for gamma tho

they removed that

[vestal ferry]

Or renammed it or something. It should be there. Plus there is gamma options on monitors.

[worthy mural]

my main monitor doesnt have 😭

my 2nd one does tho

[lime token]

Just gotta eat them carrots to see in the dark

[vestal ferry]

Sounds like a skill issue for realz

[vestal ferry]

Btw if monitor allows hdr. Turn it on. But dont turn hdr on in windows. It does some funky shit in phasmo. ;3

[worthy mural]

it does

i put it on auto

[vestal ferry]

Force it on. But keep windows hdr off.
It does magics in phasmo. At least it used to. I havent bothered to do it in a while

[worthy mural]

my moitor only has the off option and auto

[vestal ferry]

Ok since its on auto. Turn it off. Gamma options arent usually available with hdr on with monitors. Might have gamma after

[fair frost]

anyone else getting a sort of glitch on the event board where it's only showing 1/50 for the Nell's Diner challenge even though you've done it more than once? I just survived after correctly discovering and did one yesterday, but it's still saying 1, it should at least be two

[stable dirge]

Its a glitch it just hasnt registered yet it happened to me

[vestal ferry]

Event board can be delayed sometimes. And wont update until a reload

Server side will be correct. Just game side wont yet

[stable dirge]

Yeah like if you leave or after a game

[fair frost]

okay that makes sense, I'm finally getting back into phasmo after a while because I got a new headset and can finally use it

meaning I can use my mic on phasmo again

which helps when discovering a Yokai

[sterile axle]

hey what is the 'Break The Bank' achievement for, does anyone know?

[honest niche]

prob spending alot of dinero like 20 50 or 100k

[sterile axle]

okey thanks

[worthy mural]

when downloading reshade should i download the regular one of the one with full add on support

[oak swallow]

you can just use the radio button otherwise, that does the same thing

[oak swallow]

Spending 100k on items will get you that

[fair frost]

so just press the radio button and if it's a Yokai it will detet it as speech?

[marble ledge]

is the game bugged or something? i was across the house when the ghost was hunting and i was in the closet and it still found and killed me

[worthy mural]

what was the ghost

[oak swallow]

Yokai has a 2m range detection for voices/electronics which does include when you have your radio pressed

what I do if I'm on tanglewood is just go away from the ghost and press my radio for a bit if he comes it's yokai if he doesn't it's not (ofc further than 2m)

[marble ledge]

the twins

[blissful gust]

0 evidence is tough omg

[alpine flower]

If it's not a Deo, sometimes the game picks up static on your mic and it counts it as audio. So probably switch your mic off during hunts.

[prisma laurel]

Mare 🤑

[oak swallow]

too broad to tell you what happened but it's likely the ghost saw a pixel of you because you didn't have your closet fully closed

that's enough to snap your neck

[worthy mural]

u prob had electronic on, ur mic was doing smth or it saw u hide

[fair frost]

did you have any devices (flashlight or headgear) on, or your mic?

[oak swallow]

Only on the first few games but when you get used to it you'll literally never rely on actual evidence to find the ghost

[alpine flower]

I know it's bullshit but you'll get used to it.

Source: Me

[blissful gust]

yeah it was a goryo i was able to figure it out

[worthy mural]

if the ghost is a guy u can rule out banshee and dayan

[oak swallow]

Goryos are easy to figure out in no evidence yeah

[worthy mural]

wait how cuz i keep losing to them

[alpine flower]

I fucking love seeing lights switched on at 0 evidence 😍

Or if the door doesn't close/open fully

[oak swallow]

You'll get used to it but rule out the others first, also on no evidence setting where the ghost is supposed to be changing rooms more often you'll find it quite weird if you're in there for 15 minutes and the ghost refuses to go anywhere else

[oak swallow]

THIS. Triggers euphoria in my brain, the door for yurei is also good but my God when I see a light switch on and I can rule out mare early, so good

[feral saddle]

If the ghost isnt in parents bedroom can it be in parents bathroom on tanglewood?

[alpine flower]

Those things are way too inconsistent. I had a T3 motion sensor placed near a light switch, then I start semi-spamming switching it on if it glows near me. Fucker just ignores my spiteful actions

[worthy mural]

if the ghost event and its a cloud its not an oni right?

[feral saddle]

The mist form event means it isnt an oni

[light haven]

Request to make Krampus look like Torbek from Legends of Advantris. 😆 My son and I have been sat here going “Krampi? Krampuses?”

[worthy mural]

yeah thats what i mean

[alpine flower]

Yea if it farts on you it ain't Oni.

[feral saddle]

Make sure theres mist though because sometimes only the sound plays

[sour ore]

@woven cloud my bad, got distracted. was in an argument about ideal display tec for VR

[worthy mural]

is ur username based off the alucard from hellsing or castlevania

[sour ore]

neither

[worthy mural]

js dracula backwards?

[sour ore]

name generator

I am boring

[light haven]

What are the best ways to raise the event points? Other than higher difficulty.

[sour ore]

no particular reason, just gave myself a random name via an anime name generator 7 years ago

[static shard]

The bag is 10 points

[sour ore]

true xbox fashion

[static shard]

BUT, The way i do it is zero evidence 3 objectives and get the ghost

[sour ore]

it spit out Alucard Kuroba

[static shard]

^

[light haven]

The bag, the three boxes, higher difficulty.

[sour ore]

just do high diff runs, if you die, you can still drop in items

[light haven]

I just wish I got more than like, 30 - 48 points.

[sour ore]

grind baby grind

[light haven]

48 if I’m lucky.

[static shard]

Are you leaderboard grinding?

[light haven]

Nah, I’d not even know how to. I’m mostly a causal Phasmo player.

[sour ore]

who would grind the leaderboard, it is full of cheaters anyways

there is no way you got 90k legit

you would die of sleep deprivaton

[static shard]

Oh well get all the krampus boxes, play the highest difficulty your comfortable with and get a perfect game

[light haven]

I heard there are mods for the game, are they generally frowned upon if used in solo?

[sour ore]

they are outright not allowed

sadly this game has a very anti-mod stance

[static shard]

Bro.. i played with 2 of the 10 people on the leaderboard cus i was gonna get on there myself, you stay up 20+ hours a day and sleep for MAYBE 4.

[light haven]

I know they’re not allowed in online games.

[feral saddle]

If the ghost isnt in parents bedroom can it be in parents bathroom on tanglewood?

[static shard]

You play 0 evidence 1 hunt and get out. You can get 1k pts a hour.

[light haven]

Not that I would ever cheat in an online match.

[static shard]

Wdym)?

[feral saddle]

If the ghost isnt in the master bedroom is it possible fir it to be in the master bedroom bathroom

[static shard]

Normally for me i never get a master bedroom bathroom ghost

[feral saddle]

Yeah thats also what i was thinking

[static shard]

its always just in the master bedroom

[feral saddle]

I dont think its even possible cor it to be in there

[sour ore]

atm, the top players are at 138k+ points, no way. the maths dont add up

you'd have to do max diff runs 24/7 without fail and then some

[static shard]

Its just a grind. its very possible. if you were grinding it you would know.

[sour ore]

I have 10k

[static shard]

Do you play no evidence?

[sour ore]

and I have played an unhealthy amount since I returned to phasmo

[alpine flower]

It's faster to just identify the ghost and move on if you want to farm event points

[static shard]

Yeah

[alpine flower]

Doing the sack list + clicking the jukeboxes still only give you a whopping 36-40 pts

[sour ore]

Yes I play no ev

[alpine flower]

While just identifying the ghost nets around 18-25

[static shard]

To grind leaderboard You get in do one hunt and leave. Maybe click 1 or 2 krampus boxes but if its one of the 9 ghosts you cant identify in a hunt you guess and leave.

[alpine flower]

Not worth the time

[hybrid coral]

HOPE EVERYONE STAYS SAFE AND HAS A HAPPY NEW YEAR TONIGHT! I AM DOING A STREAM TONIGHT ON PHAS TO END THE YEAR WITH OTHER FELLOW GHOST ADVENTURERS! IF YOU ARE STAYING HOME JOIN IN TONIGHT AT 6:30PM EST

[lime holly]

[fair frost]

I have the weirdest ghost, whenever I take out the picture camera or the video camera to get a picture or video of it in the dots it refuses to go through, but when I have them put away it goes through it

[sour ore]

Man. The top players gotta be grinding it nonstop day in day out

All day. Every day since the event start

[lime holly]

I spent about 8 hours a day on avg

i started 1 week late too

[static shard]

Yeah they literally grind until they get comfortable

Im number 13 rn

[sour ore]

I still gotta work

[alpine flower]

If you don't get the Tier 3 trophy, there's always next year

Plus it's just a trophy, I'd be happy with just level 2

Not a huge fan on how they designed the trophy grind anyway

[light haven]

What even are the trophy upgrades? Either I’m blind or I never noticed what they even are.

[light haven]

If I remember correctly the phantom doesn’t turn up in pictures.

[fair frost]

it wasn't when I was taking a picture, and it was a Yurei anyway, it just didn't go through dots when I had either camera out

[sour ore]

I am almost to tier 3 already

[light haven]

Ah, fair enough.

[robust basalt]

Just a coincidence:)

[sour ore]

I just have been taking a break from Phasmo the last couple days

I logged 88 hours recently. Time to chill out

[inner forge]

I can barely log 4

[robust basalt]

If I'm playing w someone.. I can play for 5+ hours at a time

By myself? Like maybe 1 or 2

[inner forge]

I only play solo

[robust basalt]

It just gets kinda stale by urself unless you get some crazy fun ghosts

[light haven]

ADHD is a bitch, too many solo games and I feel it’s super tedious.

[sour ore]

I play 4-6 hours at a time

[inner forge]

I’m just that bad at the game where is just ki -ll myself instead of finding the ghost

[alpine flower]

I'm only been doing 3 - 5 games daily lately. It used to be more but having the same ghost model and the same hunting sounds is pretty boring

[robust basalt]

are you.. unemployed 🤨

[vast crown]

it would be better with a backpack for solo

[light haven]

I literally only just hit level II of the solo trophy bar.

[sour ore]

Nope

[robust basalt]

LMAO I'm just messing but man that's a lot of phasmo free time

[vast crown]

just an insomniac

[inner forge]

Psh non Americans not having our wonderful 12 hour shifts

[sour ore]

I have been binge playing it. I haven’t played phasmo in a couple years

[robust basalt]

I need friends to stay on that long unless I'm js really feeling the game, which sometimes happens

[sour ore]

I play mainly with friends

[robust basalt]

Oh that's fair, so much new stuff. I haven't played in a few months or so, so I've been binging it a bit too

[light haven]

My husband has offered to play with me, but why would I subject him to Phasmo? 😆

[oak swallow]

if you're talking about master bedroom, the bedroom, bathroom and closet count as one room :) so he is in all of those at once

[sour ore]

It’s been weird not seeing VR players. And the playerbase hating on VR players

[inner forge]

As an introvert, socializing is exhausting I get home and do not wish to speak to anymore people, friend or foe

The ghost is my buddy

[robust basalt]

That is also 100% fair .. esp if you work with people/customer service

[inner forge]

Hell on earth

[vast crown]

i feel that

[robust basalt]

I work fastfood and if I work the line making food all day I'm way less socially exhausted by the end

but if I'm operating that drive thru... Don't talk to me when I get off

sometimes all you need is a ghost fr

[light haven]

At least if the ghost gets too clingy you can log off. 😆

[inner forge]

I’d rather have a broken body at 50 then mentally drain myself everyday
Give me blue collar job please

[woven wren]

so real for this

[robust basalt]

that is so real. Tired of the ghost? Just don't play 🤨

[oak swallow]

Blue collar jobs can actually give you a healthy body even by 50

[robust basalt]

yeah depends on line of work and how you treat your body. Working out can also help with that

[oak swallow]

reminder for the hard phasmo players that looping the ghost is not a workout, go work that body at the gym

[inner forge]

Lmfao

[marble ledge]

Yo so me and my homie are on tumble and the only evidence we have is ghost orbs. We cant find anything else and theres been a constant of 0 activity

what do we do?

[vast crown]

shade?

[oak swallow]

wtf is tumble

[sour ore]

I gone done blown the breaker

[inner forge]

Obambo

[marble ledge]

tanglewood mbmb

[vast crown]

tonglebongle

[oak swallow]

shade doesn't have ghost orb doctor

[inner forge]

Shadebombo

[oak swallow]

what difficulty are you on?

[inner forge]

ARGGGG CHELC FOR OBAMBO ARGG

[marble ledge]

Intermediate

[oak swallow]

check for freezing and dots

[sour ore]

I honestly relate to the shade somedays

[inner forge]

Throw 2 books down

[oak swallow]

if constant 0 activity it could be a mimic mimicking shade or obambo

[dusky cypress]

real

[robust basalt]

If you have salt use that to check for UV :)

[light haven]

Are you all collectively having a stroke? 👀

[marble ledge]

There hasnt been any footprints in the salt

[marble ledge]

We have been

[inner forge]

Does gallu have dots?

[oak swallow]

check for spirit box and uv

[marble ledge]

We had lvl 2 activity a minute ago for like 5 second

[robust basalt]

Obligatory make sure lights are off and only one person in the room for spirit box

[marble ledge]

We have been checking for everything

[inner forge]

Obambo would have quite a bit of activity most of the time

[oak swallow]

Check harder it's not normal to get 0 evidence on intermediate

[vast crown]

if lights are on in the ghost room it will not throw any items (it still does other stuff but hella reduces activity)

[robust basalt]

LMAO I mean they have a point...

[oak swallow]

spirit box one person in the room at a time and then leave the room and leave the spirit box on the ground

[marble ledge]

We have orbs but nothing else

[inner forge]

Hmm… did it move rooms?

[robust basalt]

Doesn't having lights off just increase activity in general

[inner forge]

Thought you said dots

[robust basalt]

It has more evidence, just gotta find it

[oak swallow]

How long are you in the investigation for?

[vast crown]

nah in that case they are just un-impeded

[oak swallow]

Are you sure you are in the right room?

[inner forge]

Check orbs again

[sacred ridge]

isnt the full release for phasmophobia comes out 2026 right?

[inner forge]

Also mimic dosnt have dots right?

[oak swallow]

It's not even just that it's just that there's ghost orb mimic changes behaviors every 2 minutes so they have to get other evidences like it's a guarantee

[robust basalt]

Supposedly!

[worthy mural]

the mimic skull trophy is so cool

[oak swallow]

no just freezing uv spirit box

[inner forge]

Mm mm

[oak swallow]

Not as cool as you all are

I see you with the new YouTube post @atomic leaf

[sour ore]

I have seen some pretty shy ghosts

but usually its the result of a bug

or a host crashing

tends to break things

[robust basalt]

It's all up to RNG. I wouldn't say it's normally a bug, the ghosts have random behaviors

[marble ledge]

We were in for awhile. It finally started going crazy on activity and it was a thaye which is weird

[robust basalt]

It can definitely bug out sometimes though, like the ghost getting stuck and refusing to give anything

[oak swallow]

it's not you guys just successfully made it age correctly

[robust basalt]

You aged it sitting in its room most likely

[sour ore]

I had a poltie get stuck in a hunt phase, but never moving. it was stuck like that for 10 minutes till I realized the host crashed

[oak swallow]

Every x amount of time (I dont remember if it's 1min or 2) the thaye checks if people are around it and if they are it ages, otherwise it doesn't

[robust basalt]

Has to be like a minute because they age SO FAST I swear

[marble ledge]

No we were in the room for like 4 minutes total

[robust basalt]

Thats enough to age it

[vast crown]

every 1-2 minutes, but if it's not successful it tries again after 30 seconds and repeats until it ages, then it resets the timer back to the 1-2 minute rng

[oak swallow]

yeah of course but in this case it's intermediate and the ghost orb means it has to be a ghost that does stuff that's why i was weirded out and knew they were missing something, probably DOTS placement in this case

[robust basalt]

Also why were you only in the room for 4 minutes if you needed evidence lmao

[sour ore]

the thay is how I feel being around brainrot (or british people)

[sleek sonnet]

anyone else here play on vr?

[oak swallow]

I love making him an old man and we just chill around the kitchen, feels like I'm playing hide and seek with my friends

[oak swallow]

Literally what I was about to say ._.

[marble ledge]

We thought the room was a different room so we kept trying

[inner forge]

If you have orbs it’s the ghost room

[robust basalt]

Thaye is more likely to do dots and writing than other ghosts. And ghost orbs are in the ghost room. If you were in the room you probably would've saw dots 😭

But it's okay game is over, lesson learned. Thayes are funky guys

[oak swallow]

this, it's the best thing to get in a hunt

[inner forge]

Real

[oak swallow]

Because you know where the room is regardless of temps shenanigans AND you know that it can be mimic unless ruled out which makes the game spicier

[robust basalt]

Having a consistent tell of the ghost room is so nice on higher difficulties when they be doing their roaming shenanigans

[oak swallow]

real, especially when both rooms have low temps

[robust basalt]

yeah 😭 I like that the temp follows the ghost and isn't just the room but it's also annoying lmao

[robust basalt]

tell me why I'll have an orbs ghost and the room next to the ghost room will be colder than it's actual room. Like bro get in there

[oak swallow]

it tilts me so hard 😭

[vast crown]

motion sensor

[robust basalt]

wise words

[vast crown]

t3 is baller

just need one

[robust basalt]

is it worth upgrading to tier 3 motion sensor

I haven't done it yet

[vast crown]

100000%

[oak swallow]

Of course T3 motion sensor is the best

[vast crown]

super useful

[oak swallow]

Shoutout to T3 motion sensor, it's gotta be my favorite gender

it scans passively when you put it down sky but if you pick it up and place it down it pings the ghost faster, which is useful for knowledge and media

[vast crown]

yeah i walk around with it until it goes off when i need to find the ghost

constantly placing it and picking it back up

[robust basalt]

I've seen content creators use it like that but it seems confusing for my puny brain, does it just point it at the ghost?

[vast crown]

yeah

goes off once when it enters the radius and goes off again when it leaves the radius

[main meadow]

We need a mini vac to pick salt back up so we can move it when jerk ghosts change rooms.

[vast crown]

lol

[robust basalt]

why can't I get on my hands and knees and scrape up that salt

[oak swallow]

My God it tilts me so hard when I play with randoms and they go to kitchen counter and put salt down

[robust basalt]

I spent GOOD money on that salt

[oak swallow]

or use more salt when we know the ghost steps on salt from the first salt use we had

[main meadow]

T1 is dustpan and brush only gets like 20%

[oak swallow]

wtf is wrong with people sometimes

[vast crown]

anyone else ever have to use a vacuum hose with a shirt around it like a filter to pick up spilled green lmao

[sour ore]

I mean if doing no evidence it’s nice to check for wraith

[oak swallow]

I assure you when salt falls on the ground you don't want to pick it up again trust

[sour ore]

Or to see if it speeds up or slows down

[inner forge]

Good for some challenges

[oak swallow]

yes but no bro you don't know where his room is that's a waste

[main meadow]

Fine for feets not so fine for feast

[sour ore]

That too. Daily challenges

[oak swallow]

it could take the ghost longer to step on it because he is not there

[sour ore]

I had one for 30 salt steps

[oak swallow]

They're not doing it for the dailys I promise

[sour ore]

So maps were littered with salt for a while

[oak swallow]

because every time I ask they say a different answer and never mentioned a daily thing

[sour ore]

When doing casual matches in professional, I typically carry EMF, Smudge, and Thermo. Then I locate the room. Drop my equipment and head back to the truck

That’s standard procedure

And I always keep a smudge

But I will salt where I plan to loop

But for detecting roaming, I have motion sensors

And for casual runs, I tend to go ham with equipment

[prisma laurel]

[sour ore]

It’s funny. I see if I can pack everything into the house

I usually locate the room. But it with motion sensors and a mic

Test for wraith with salt

Place mics as I go in and out

Setup cameras

Dots

And typically teammates do everything else

[vagrant plover]

we all love the mimic right

[oak swallow]

we LOVE the mimic

[sour ore]

That way our dedicated truck princess can do her thing capturing footage

[oak swallow]

hard

[sour ore]

And all I have to do is capture recordings and loop the ghost

[stable dirge]

No ofc not hehe

[sour ore]

My friend group has a pre-defined game loop

We more or less do the same thing every time

Everyone does their usual role

[analog reef]

Scared to Prestigue D:, dont wanna lose all tier 3 stuff

[sour ore]

I am VR, so I have the ability to carry extra equipment

I am team pack mule

[sour ore]

Tier 2 is good enough IMO

[odd vale]

Doesn’t hurt to wait a little and enjoy it.

[sour ore]

Nah

I am in, doing setup, and GTFO

Only in as long as I need to identify the ghost after setup

And all the sensors warn us if ghost has moved rooms, and where is may pop up at

If a motion sensor is going nuts, tread with caution in that area

I have been assassinated by the ghost too often

Mics and cameras are used by our truck observer that captures videos and listens to ghost audio

Also warns of sanity levels, ghost activity, and hunts by keeping active on comms

If it goes static, we dip into hiding. Or prepare to loop

We do have our fun. Usually talking trash about football makes ghosts triggered

True fact, try it sometime

You may die

[stable dirge]

I dont wanna die

[sour ore]

no activity the whole time --> tells ghost their football team sucks --> gets jumped

[worthy mural]

how do i test for twins

[stable dirge]

When it hunts one time itl be slower another faster

[vast crown]

one hunt may be faster/slower than the last, but will never switch between fast and slow twin in the middle of a hunt like obambo does

[stable dirge]

Also twins like to mimic eachothets actions

[worthy mural]

i was in the house the entire time and it never hunted so i figured shade

[vast crown]

twins is just one ghost

with an 8m noodle arm lol

[stable dirge]

Some ghosts dont realy hunt alot but shades arent realy active

keith also is touchy

[oak swallow]

You did not just say that SQUARE UP MAN IM FIGHTING YOU ON THAT

[vast crown]

moroi over mimic any day

[oak swallow]

The mimic walked so that the other ghosts could run

Moroi would have aura if you couldn't defeat him with a sanity monitor

and a candle

[stable dirge]

Okay

It still sucks

[sour ore]

Moroi does not have aura

Mare is a troll though

[stable dirge]

Yeah

[sour ore]

always turning off the lights

-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?

[wise oyster]

Click 👻 for wishes

What is the best thing to ask the ouiji board i personaly think its " how many hours have you played phasmophobia"

[teal sundial]

we just had a myling very slowly lift four plates at once until they reached the ceiling, then drop all but one which it got stuck in the ceiling 😭

[stable dirge]

Must be a glitch

[worthy mural]

if i use nvidia filters should i use eye adaptation

[vast crown]

i do

[stable dirge]

Idk i dont have a pc

[spice crow]

yo why can i not get a response from the ghost in the tutorial

[zinc coyote]

Its shy

[spice crow]

i have checked my audio settings, i have asked every question on the wiki, i AM IN THE ROOM WHEN ITS THROWING OBJECTS

[vast crown]

turn lights off and make sure you're standing like right on top of the ghost, t1 spirit box sucks

[stable dirge]

The lights might be on plus theres 2 rooms

[stable dirge]

Wait do you have push to talk

[spice crow]

i have toggle

[stable dirge]

Make sure its on

[spice crow]

ik how toggle works, its been on

[stable dirge]

Idk then it dous take a bit of time at least for me

[vast crown]

being in the room is not enough, you have to be really close to the ghost for t1 spirit box

[spice crow]

i keep seeing the red flash to show that it heard me but didn't reply 😭

[vast crown]

try using text mode in settings for voice recognition and see what it does

[past leaf]

Set up a motion detector. Wait for it to go off (while standing near it) then ask questions.

[stable dirge]

That might work

[spice crow]

ARFE YOU FUCING

[vast crown]

it will work

[spice crow]

WHY DID THAT WORK FIRST TRY

FUCK THIS THING

[vast crown]

because there are bugs with voice recognition and i don't personally know all the fixes but text mode always works

[stable dirge]

HAHAHAHA IDK

[odd vale]

There’s no way for the game to not understand the phrases with text recognition

[past leaf]

Ghost couldn’t find the right channel 🙁

[odd vale]

It’s like when you’re watching a show and you kinda miss what the person said. But with captions you can actually know. I don’t know if that makes sense.

[vast crown]

ghost is a yokai, it's deaf, gotta write it a letter lol

[stable dirge]

Cant write in the game

[spice crow]

i recorded myself going insane with the spirit box

[vast crown]

are you on pc?

[stable dirge]

Me no

[vast crown]

use "system voice" mode instead of VOSK

VOSK is super strict, system voice is just windows voice recognition, not as good, but also not as strict. there is a bug where if you tab out of the game using system voice, it will stop working, the fix is to tap the windows key twice, or to tab out, and then click the taskbar icon for the game to tab back in instead of actually alt-tabbing

[stable dirge]

Me when someone dies in phas why is their neck broke

[turbid fossil]

Is the game extremely buggy for anyone else? Is there any fix planned at anytime in the next month?? Keeps kicking friends for looking at cameras, and we can’t even use the video cam to record we have to set it on a tripod

[vast crown]

are you playing across regions? i only get disconnected playing with people not in NA region

[turbid fossil]

Nah she and I are both on NA

[wise oyster]

2000ish

[lime holly]

1500

actually slightly less than that but almost 1500

[vast crown]

2300 ish

[odd vale]

My hours are so low for my knowledge lol

235

[median obsidian]

did yall notice since the christmas update, that the game is having way too much issues like it takes forever to get the third evidence among other things

[indigo raven]

gotta love 2 demons in a row hunting the second i enter the house but not within badge requirements 😭

[dreamy magnet]

🇳🇦

[odd vale]

I feel like I’m just okay but I get told I’m better than that lol. But I still think I’m just okay.

[median obsidian]

sounds like they should re update cause this is fcked

[indigo raven]

aand i just got a blood moon lmao

[odd vale]

I haven’t had issues getting 3 ev

[dreamy magnet]

If u get Apoc 3 then u are good, im not there yet myself

[median obsidian]

also there were times where we actually saw the ghost in the picture but it was worth 0$

[odd vale]

Not yet

[blissful gust]

how many points do u need for level 3 winter trophy?

[odd vale]

3600

[blissful gust]

thx

i got more grinding to do 😭

[bronze halo]

[dreamy magnet]

I have trouble keeping my ears and eyes peeled and stepping in the wrong places, I always lose my crustifix so early. But for 2026 everything will be different for us

[bronze halo]

[unique hamlet]

I’m confused… how do the photos work now? Ik this update has been out for a year or something but I took three photos of things touched by the ghost immediately after it was thrown or what not and they didn’t count

[blissful gust]

u have to take videos now

when the ghost touches sometihng

I don’t suppose I can do that with the tier 1, huh? Used to be level 1000 or something lol

[wise oyster]

you: Takes a photo of a cup that was thrown
Boss: Yeah? It's a cup, so what?

[blissful gust]

u can do any tier 👍

[unique hamlet]

Ok pretty straightforward thanks

For a video i assume I just hold down the use button? And how would i take the video, does it need to be during the action?

[lime holly]

hold down use button is correct and aim the videocamera at the interaction/event

[solemn stream]

correct

[wise oyster]

yes, or IMMEDIATELY after. The duration varies pretty widely (and tbh needs tweaking from KG)

[lime holly]

^

[unique hamlet]

Alright haha thanks ya’ll

Time to get back into the phas grind

@sacred plover im back aahahha hope all is well

[dreamy magnet]

Ideas for upcoming dates: Groundhogs Day Groundhog Model with Pop up from hole ghost events, Valentines Day Baby Cupid Model that is 0.5 meter tall, St. Patrick’s Leprechaun model with pot of gold

Since they add Krampus

[wise oyster]

I like all of those, but Groundhog Day is just in the US I think.

[sacred plover]

[umbral hull]

Any help with a Bluetooth headset that cuts out as soon as I get into a game.

Yes I've tried turning it on and off again (headset, game, pc) tried switching default devices after loading in (that worked yesterday but not today?) and disabling the mic all together, still silence.

[solemn stream]

what's a groundhog day

[dreamy magnet]

Oh yeah, I wish they still do it tho since the maps are in the USA but maybe people don’t know about our beloved Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil

[wise oyster]

case in point

[wise oyster]

February 2nd is Groundhog Day. The legend is that if a groundhog comes out of his burrow and doesn't see his shadow, we'll have an early spring. If he sees his shadow, he presumably gets scared and we have 6 more weeks of winter

[dreamy magnet]

Phil is this groundhog that is in charge of foretelling the coming of spring or if winter will last longer, he is an oracle of sorts

[wise oyster]

It's also a hilarious 90s movie starring Bill Murray

[opaque oasis]

almost new year and im tryna get rid of a trojan virus 😔

[solemn stream]

ahh local superstition

we have that

[opaque oasis]

we love

[dreamy magnet]

Yes, The groundhog also gets changed out when one dies, but he inherits the gift, he is pretty much like the Dahlai Lama

[solemn stream]

uuuu

[opaque oasis]

all i wanted was for the display on my pc case to work

[wise oyster]

They have a ceremony every year in Punxsutawney, a town in Pennsylvania, where they pull out a groundhog. Just a fun little thing

[dreamy magnet]

Yeah it’s fun too

[alpine flower]

Malwarebytes then pray it works

[storm ermine]

does anyone know if the ghost activity level setting in the custom difficulty affects the ability phases?

[unique hamlet]

There are many many mixed answers online - is the game crossplay? Specifically asking for xbox and pc crossplay

[dreamy magnet]

Is this the real u then, or is this the hacker I’m talking to

[solemn stream]

yes, but not cross progression

[wise oyster]

idk what you mean "phases" but yes, in general, Activity includes abilities

[solemn stream]

mel!

[unique hamlet]

So you’re saying that you can cross play but you don’t level up?

[storm ermine]

aight. gotcha. Yeah when the ghost uses an ability, its reffered to as an "ability phase" from what ive heard

[sacred plover]

Groundhog Day is like, a country-wide event that's gone on since like, the late 1800s and I still dunno why we do it, but I got to meet one of the Phils as a kiddo and honestly it was a good day. Would make for a very funny event despite it being an American Holiday

[solemn stream]

no. i'm saying yes crossplay, but if you wanna swap from pc to xbox then that's a no-go and you'll have to start over.

[unique hamlet]

2 years later and I still have the power to summon Mel 🤣

[sacred plover]

I mean if you ping me I'm gonna check the chat

[unique hamlet]

Oh yeah no thats not what I meant, I mean being able to play with somebody on pc as an xbox player

[dreamy magnet]

Yeah groundhogs are an international animal

[quaint nexus]

Dude people keeo kicking me when i join their game man, they let me stay and chat for like five minutes, get my hopes up then kick 😔

[dreamy magnet]

They should spread it

[mossy mason]

||if mel reads this, they're stinky||

[solemn stream]

you probably do it for the same reason scandinavians put out porridge on christmas eve

[quaint nexus]

Porridge for fjøsnisse!!!

[solemn stream]

yup that's absolutely possible, you just have to enable cross play in the setting and restart the application

[opaque oasis]

uh

[unique hamlet]

Helll yeah appreciate the information

[opaque oasis]

im now stressed though about it

[opaque oasis]

it was literally from an official pc case website

[solemn stream]

don't forget about the husnisse

[dreamy magnet]

Sorry, hope ur virus will be left in 2025 💙

[opaque oasis]

clean pc for 2026 (i got an hour to fix it)

did you check it's reviews and reliability with those nifty scam checking sites?

[solemn stream]

Boxing Day

[sacred plover]

(I don't remember if we still stay on top of the whole "phasmo chat is for phasmo" thing but just in case I'm putting that reminder out )

[solemn stream]

no, they all involve fireworks

[dreamy magnet]

I love boxing, sadly it’s not on a lot anymore, but would be cool to celebrate

[wise oyster]

it's the day after Christmas, and it's basically a 2nd Christmas, the way my buddy tells it

[spice bough]

Still getting disconnected from game when viewing cameras on Nell's Diner, camp woodwind and a couple others on Xbox #bug-reports

[dreamy magnet]

More time with family, respect.

[wise oyster]

Yeah basically

[opaque oasis]

halfway done no threats found im praying

[dreamy magnet]

Good, keep us updated

[restive sandal]

okay hi i have a question. in context of the obake, does in hunt on general team sanityeven when players arent in the building? or does it only factor in team sanity from the players inside the building.
most of my friends swear by that it only counts when youre inside of the building, but when i at 100% sanity (had taken all pills, was at a definite 100% sanity, and was only in the building for less than a minute. it did not event on me and there was no use of a cursed object, and i was alone) it had hunted and killed me
is that actually a mechanic???? even players in the van affect hunt thresholds???

[lime token]

The ghost hunting goes off of average sanity

[restive sandal]

even when outside the building??

thats such a silly mechanic 😭😭😭

[lime holly]

Based on team average with some exceptions

[potent plaza]

I am so tired of "take a picture of a ghost" it is so obnoxious out of 8 tries I have gotten 0 photos of ghost I am so unlucky with that one.

[lime holly]

e.g banshee considers target sanity

[wise oyster]

doesn't help DOTS Ghost photos are still often buggy

[potent plaza]

I wish there was "rapid fire" mode on one of the cameras that would only take a picture if the ghost appears in one or something.

[wise oyster]

Seems fair, we basically have that system for Videos

[lime token]

Would be wayy to op imo

[wise oyster]

I would settle for $0 photos not counting against deletions

[lime holly]

I enjoy the difficulty of ghost photos during hunt

[restive sandal]

my friend wants to know when this became a feature

[wise oyster]

What if you still had to take the photo but you got the box that showed there was something to take?

[wise oyster]

Day 1, since forever

[lime holly]

So it would kinda blink in and out?

I do think that’d be cool

[wise oyster]

yeah it'd be a little annoying during hunts perhaps, but I'm thinking overall

[lime holly]

It would also help people with ranges

[wise oyster]

have fun

[lime holly]

So many dont realize u dont have to stand inside the ghost to get the photo

[wise oyster]

very true, that's hard to tell, especially for those of us used to trying to get 3-star photos

[lime holly]

especially during xp grind it gets u killed 😂

[worthy mural]

what ghost event shuts every door in the house

[wise oyster]

You don't have to use the game's preset. The presets get you ready for Apoc 3 but there are MUCH easier settings you can use

[wise oyster]

several of them

[worthy mural]

no it was rev but litteraly every door js closed all at once

[wise oyster]

every door in the room anyway

[lime holly]

not every door in the house but all the doors that connect to the room your in

[sullen raven]

is the banshee scream still the same or did they change it in the update with the sound recorders

[wise oyster]

changed it, there are 20 variations now. Several of them are on the Banshee card on the Cheat Sheet

[lime token]

They also removed the older banshee scream

[wise oyster]

true

[gray gazelle]

Guys if phasmo made a piracy screen what should it be

[potent plaza]

It doesn't give you answers, it ghosts you.

[sullen raven]

alr tysm

[opaque oasis]

i’ve done a singular full scan, says no threats

[gray gazelle]

lol

[wise oyster]

maybe you don't have a virus after all?

[opaque oasis]

i did have one cause firstly it got blocked when downloaded, i got paranoid and full scanned, it found a trojan and quarantined it and i removed it

i tried to get the software for my pc case display from an official website 😔

[wise oyster]

so maybe problem solved?

[opaque oasis]

hopefully

i cba to deal with it in 2026

[trail pier]

Happy new year

[opaque oasis]

happy new year ✨

[opaque oasis]

still confused cause it said it was blocked

[prime elk]

Happy New Year!

Friendly bot reminder to keep this chat to Phasmo, and to have the general festivities happen in… general 😃 🤖

[zinc orchid]

I personally think phasmo could add an option to be 6, I have so many people to play phasmo with but since its only 4 player I can't play with them all at the same time💔

[opaque oasis]

real, but then again on maps like tanglewood it’ll get so crowded

[zinc orchid]

Yeah, I understand that point of view lol, it would be fun to have 6 players tho espically for big maps like the school, prison, and sunny meadows, ITS NOT AN INSULT OR ANYTHING TO THE CREATOR/DEVS BTW 😭

[glacial current]

Yesterday got a phantom who showed on dots picture without disappearing. Today Onryo blows out 6 candles without hunting...

[opaque oasis]

wait i think the quarantine just detected it being in the recycle bin

oh well

[rancid ivy]

They'd have to redo the whole truck to accommodate that, and you don't need 6 players for pretty much any map.

[opaque oasis]

phantom disappears on dots as well?

[wise oyster]

4 is already too many on anything but a large map, and even then gear is too spare

[glacial current]

It should. The ghosts are bugging though

[wise oyster]

was the photo marked DOTS Ghost?

[dull lark]

happy new year

[rancid ivy]

Ghost photos are still buggy as ever, and DOTS photos in particular are the buggiest of all of them.

[wise oyster]

Onryo uses flames as crucifixes, so if there are other flames in the area it will blow those out instead of hunting. Onryo is not bugged.

This doesn't show the journal

to be clear, DOTS photos are often buggy, not the Phantom

[glacial current]

Tanglewood kitchen. Pretty sure there's no candles besides mine

[rancid ivy]

Were you holding your lighter?

[glacial current]

No. Placed candles, swapped off lighter, waited in living room

[wise oyster]

I've played 20 questions too many times in 2025, but I assure you Onryo works fine

[glacial current]

Only 3 candles, waited for them all to go out, then relit all 3 and repeated. Crucifix did not burn the whole run

[rancid ivy]

How quickly did you relight the third one? The hunt isn't always instant.

[pulsar flare]

Bro we NEED 6 player lobbies, a ghost ship map, and a cemetery map

[glacial current]

Waited 5 seconds before relighting all 3

[wise oyster]

Onryo is soooo much simpler if you just keep a single candle on top of a cruci, keep relighting it, and if it blows out the same candle twice in under 20s, it's Onryo.

Or if it's a T1-2 candle, if it blows it out at all under 20s of lighting it

[rancid ivy]

Six player lobbies isn't needed. There just isn't even enough equipment in the van for all of that and all of the maps are easy enough with 4 players.

[wise oyster]

Unless someone stays in the van, 4 is too many

I get people want all their friends to join, but Phas just isn't that game

[rancid ivy]

Tbh, I think a majority of those kinds of kicks are due to how shoddy the servers were set up, but someone people are just jerks too.

[wise oyster]

Lots of people like to play with a friend and fill the group with randoms, but the game doesn't let you switch between private/public

but to just play with the commands, they'd prefer we use #bot-commands

[solemn stream]

and yet the one that stays in the van just because it's too crowded gets called a van princess

[wise oyster]

well the implication there is they're too scared to go in

[rancid ivy]

It would be nice if there was a -board command since ouija is annoying to spell.

[wise oyster]

Tell the admins, I guess

[rancid ivy]

Can I even ping them directly?

[wise oyster]

sure

[solemn stream]

fair, but most people don't see the difference in "scared to go in" and "there's nothing to do inside because everyone is alive and it's been 20 minutes"

[wise oyster]

I feel like the latter comes up much less in conversation.

[solemn stream]

[tight current]

Hello, I’d like to report an ongoing issue.
Phasmophobia keeps disconnecting me from matches either during loading or in the middle of a contract, without any error message.
My internet connection is stable, and I’ve already tried restarting the game, changing hosts, and adjusting settings.
This is happening repeatedly and is making the game frustrating to play.
Is this a known issue, especially related to crossplay, or is there an official fix?

[opaque oasis]

right

[summer trail]

Thank you

[worthy mural]

we got a emf 2 at breaker does that mena its jinn?

[wise oyster]

perhaps, unless the ghost touched the breaker door

also any ghost turning the breaker on/off generates EMF2

(and if it turned the breaker off, instantly not a Jinn)

[rancid ivy]

Jinn EMF being tied to the breaker is such a negligible tell imo. You usually won't be close enough to the breaker to notice it.

[wise oyster]

totally agree, but then I play 0 sanity games

If you have the forethought to put an EMF on the breaker and notice it go off while the lights aren't turned on/off and the ghost isn't near it, then more power to you

[rancid ivy]

If the Jinn could just randomly leave EMF on the breaker regardless of its status, and regardless of where you are on the map, then at least then we'd have a potential tell for breakerless runs.

[storm lantern]

anywhere i can report bugs? stuck on a random trash can in nell's diner

[prisma laurel]

Just get unstuck

[storm lantern]

thanks ill go try that

[rancid ivy]

Check #1413597137815470110 first then if nothing works, go to #bug-reports

I do think the devs are already aware of it though.

[drifting mural]

The mimic is just chaotic evil it does whatever whenever

[rancid ivy]

I've had more chaotic Spirits than Mimics.

[drifting mural]

At least to my understanding I'm very new to the game

[storm lantern]

right by the side door, back exit of the kitchen if that is something you know they're aware of

[drifting mural]

Been watching content since forever but only started playing like a day or two ago

[rancid ivy]

If it's in #known-issues then they should be aware of it.

[rapid grove]

servers down again or is it just me?

[obtuse lantern]

yeah

[drifting mural]

Holy wow I've been watching phasmo content since the game came out

And I'm still horrible

[rapid grove]

takes like 20-50hrs to get a decent understanding, even after watching vids

[drifting mural]

Like I can easily identify which ghost it is but I just. Keep. Dying.

I think I made it out of one game so far

[rapid grove]

ngl without a 2nd/3rd lvl crucifix i'll die too

incense helps a lot, but without a decent crucifix ghost just keeps spawning inside me xd

[boreal hemlock]

Server Down?

[marble ledge]

wheres the keys in point hope?

[wise oyster]

for the easter egg secret?

[marble ledge]

[lusty quartz]

not sure if it's something i'd report or something i need to fix on my end, but

when i walk straight forward, my character's movement (not the game) seems to stutter step? but if i strafe while moving, it corrects itself. once i stop moving and start again, it happens again.

tried changing a couple graphics settings even though it doesn't appear to be a performance issue but idk what else to try

idk if anyone knows what's going on and can help?

[vague sluice]

damn not alot on right now

[lusty quartz]

might be a keyboard thing? doesn't seem to be happening when i try with a controller

[atomic leaf]

yeah this has been in the game for about a year now

[random bluff]

damn i contributed 300 points in the winter event but didnt get the 2000$

[wise oyster]

for the weekly? Try loading into another game and leaving via the truck

[lusty quartz]

i see. idk why it started for me today. oh well

[atomic leaf]

it looks like the game is capped to 60fps right?

[lusty quartz]

yeah

[random bluff]

ahh started another game and opened a jack in the box and now i got it

[atomic leaf]

yeah I think something changed when console released and it’s been like that ever since

[fierce vector]

Is multiplayer just not for me because ive been kicked like 6 times now in the past 15 mins

[wise oyster]

me playing my smallest violin for people "only" getting 60 fps 🎻

[lusty quartz]

[random bluff]

guessed the correct ghost aswell

[opal crypt]

question sense im new

who else hates the rajiu

[wise oyster]

I hated Raiju when I was new, yeah

[opal crypt]

im not new but i hate rajus regardless 🥀

[wise oyster]

You have to use electronics to find all of its evidences, that gives it a higher hunt threshold, and makes it faster

[wise oyster]

you said you were new right before

[prisma laurel]

I only hate raiju because it's very loud

[wise oyster]

so are you

[last laurel]

anyone else having connection issues?

[prisma laurel]

A mole? Maybe

[wise oyster]

aha! you admit it! ¡Te atrapé!

[lament wing]

It isn’t that hard to me. In my opinion, it’s really just a Thaye (when electronics are nearby) but with bass boosted heart beat.

[wise oyster]

Raiju was def my "Most Killed By" ghost when I was new

[lament wing]

If you listen closely, the bass boosted heartbeat is pretty obvious.

[lament wing]

When I was new I died to every ghost, pretty much

I’m still decently new, tbf.

[wise oyster]

ok, 1 step above new

if you're noticing the bass boost heartbeat, you've got some experience imo

[lament wing]

If we’re talking from when I started daring to loop and let the ghost see me, I think it’s still literally any ghost that kills me, as long as it’s a crawler.

[wise oyster]

If you're talking about looping at all, you're not new at all

[lament wing]

It was only recently that I started getting alright at surviving crawlers without hiding spots.

[lament wing]

Eh, I started looping when I had about 50 hours or less of playtime, pretty sure.

[wise oyster]

looping isn't a contest. I have 2000 hours and still don't bother looping a crawler.

[lament wing]

For reference, I’m currently at just under 170 hours.

[wise oyster]

again 50 hours isn't new

[lament wing]

Fair enough.

[lament wing]

I learned about the bass boosted heartbeat after watching Casson for a bit. I’ve been doing Ridgeview strat to get easy exp, and while playing on that, it was probably the first time that I genuinely noticed the bass boosted heartbeat of the Raiju in action.

[wise oyster]

yeah it's def a thing, but imo it's more for 0ev players honing their skills, not newbies learning the game

and it's also a bug, so it'll (hopefully) be fixed

[alpine flower]

I learned about the Raiju heartbteats from DontFightDucks I think

[potent plaza]

Does the Onryo have a random chance to teleport to you like the Wraith?

(Not Mimic proven by the fact the game ended and it says Onryo)

I had found the ghost room completed all the media, and one of the objectives was to survive a ghost hunt. So I broke the mirror getting ready to smudge and I just instantly died. Outside the ghost room.

[lament wing]

I knew about it before, but it was the first time I actually looped a Raiju. I used to get Raiju and Thaye mixed up because I often couldn’t find all the electronics that allowed the Raiju to speed up.

[wise oyster]

no

[river jewel]

Um... Cruci burned in van on edgefield... WTF

[dreamy magnet]

I had this also haha it happens

[lament wing]

No, what most likely happened was that the Onryo just randomly roamed and happened to be right on you as the cursed hunt was triggered.

[wise oyster]

van is close to the house,

[river jewel]

yes

[alpine flower]

If it evented before you triggered a hunt, the ghost will be nearby. In case it did an event before you broke the mirror

[potent plaza]

That... Really sucks... But oh well, game is game guess the ghost is a better pro gamer than I am

[wise oyster]

#known-issues "Not a bug": Crucifix being used in truck. Ghosts in Edgefield and Woodwind can use your crux while still in the truck. This is because the crucifix is range based.

[lament wing]

I see. Well I mostly play 2 evidence, but I’ve been trying to hone my skills to train for the Apocalypse challenges.

[alpine flower]

Tanglewood is also a possible location when the ghost was in the garage

[wise oyster]

yeah I said 0ev reflexively but really anything under 3ev.

[lament wing]

I’ve been playing every now and then on 0 and 1 evidence, but I should probably focus a bit on playing Sunny Meadows, I’ve only ever played 3-4 games of that so far.

[wise oyster]

def get comfy with the map. Restricted can be a nice way to get used to it without dealing with the whole thing

[river jewel]

Was scurry,

[alpine flower]

You should only also ever attempt it only if you got T3 Paramic. It'll be really helpful to know where the ghost is while you're walking with 2 broken legs

[potent plaza]

Didn't get any event. I was on 42 Edgefield, the ghost room was the couch room. I walked to the end of the hallway knowing there's a hidding spot there, and as I broke the mirror, I insta died.

[silk wave]

Guys how does the winters jest trophy upgrades look like?

[lament wing]

Ah, really? I play with the entire map, I usually learn quite quickly if I put my mind to it. I’ve already mapped out certain areas of Sunny Meadows in my head from when the ghost room happened to be there.

[silk wave]

I have upgrade 2 so far just wanted to see how upgrade 3 looks like

[alpine flower]

Yep, you were just unlucky. Was just worth mentioning my tip because my bozo friends often die after pulling a Death card right after a Devil when messing with the tarots.

[wise oyster]

gotcha, nvm then sounds like you have a plan. Many players are just scared of the whole map

[lament wing]

Were you in the hiding spot as you died? That sounds very weird for the ghost to be at the hiding spot, ready to kill you.

[potent plaza]

Yep I was already waiting in the hidding spot
I had completely forgotten I had needed to be seen for the "task" to work.

[lament wing]

Yeah, I get that. It does lowkey scare me, wandering the halls in the darkness. But it’s good training, is what I tell myself.

[alpine flower]

There's no grace period when you trigger a cursed hunt, maybe it was already nearby and somehow spotted you or something. And since the broken mirror will be blocking your POV, you wouldn't see it coming

[wise oyster]

It's got its quirks and bugs, but it's a good map overall imo

[lament wing]

I never personally use the T3 para mic. Maybe it would be a good idea to learn how the signals on it work when the ghost is above or below me.

[wise oyster]

Cursed hunts have a fixed 1s grace period, but you're right in how it can surprise people

[wise oyster]

T3 paramic is borderline OP (minus bugs), you'll definitely want it for any Apoc

[lament wing]

Only time I use the para mic at all is when I try to go for perfect and I need it for an objective.

[alpine flower]

Paramic is super good in larger maps

Also you need T3 to detect between floors

Because T2 doesn't do that

Also the tracking thing ofc

[lament wing]

Does Sunny Meadows have any upstairs? I’ve not explored the map a lot since I’ve been fortunate with the ghost room being relatively close to the entrance.

[wise oyster]

Just a fantastic upgrade all around

[lament wing]

I know it has a basement.

[wise oyster]

2 floors: ground and basement

[unborn hollow]

whats red rain mean

[lament wing]

I see.

[wise oyster]

[alpine flower]

10% bonus pay

[unborn hollow]

ah

[lament wing]

Blood Moon. Ghosts will be 15% faster if I recall correctly.

[alpine flower]

The toll is ghost is more aggressive and faster and you go crazy faster

[unborn hollow]

oh ok

[lament wing]

Surviving it will give you 10% extra payout, like Flakes said

[unborn hollow]

nice

[wise oyster]

Blood moon: +100% sanity drain, more active ghost, ghost is 15% faster, 10% bonus rewards

[glacial oar]

can dayan only be a girl becuase the desc is very gendered

[unborn hollow]

cool

[alpine flower]

Oh damn it was 100%? I thought it only adds 50% drain

[wise oyster]

correct

[lament wing]

Yes. Banshee and Dayan are female only.

[wise oyster]

it's a flat +100%, but remember Prof is already 200%, so it becomes 300%

[lament wing]

No, it affects the ghost speed, but not player speed.

[alpine flower]

Was referring to sanity

[lament wing]

Ah.

[dreamy magnet]

During the blood moon, they should add a werewolf that spawns in and starts ripping everything up and he chases u, but if u find bone then he will go back to his human form

[lament wing]

That sounds like you want the Blood Moon event to be quite a bit harder for new players than it already is.

[opal crypt]

guys i need heko

[amber cloud]

[amber cloud]

Also, I play on ps5 and I keep crashing 😭 anyone else have this?

[split flare]

Someone want to play im new

[alpine flower]

I'm on PC but I do not crash at all

[amber cloud]

It sometimes happens when I interact with the monitor in the truck, either going into it or leaving, I’ve crashed once every like, 2 hours of playing

[wise oyster]

#1413597137815470110

[amber cloud]

It freezes up my entire console 💀 im not too upset because this game is apparently still in beta but it does get frustrating. Lost the game being the only one alive and then crashed

[wise oyster]

console seems to have it worse from what I see here

[opal crypt]

i tried to find how to get an older phasmophobia

but like, im to lazy to try

[amber cloud]

Thank you, I missed that thread 🙏

[golden hare]

Hey someone want to group for phasmo? I’m pretty new though

[opal crypt]

[opal crypt]

im kinda bad tho

[mossy mason]

can't talk about that here

[opal crypt]

uhhh

is it like b a d ?

[wise oyster]

Playing older versions isn't supported and is discouraged

[opal crypt]

oh my bad

[alpine flower]

Devs are pretty conservative

[opal crypt]

i remeber the old hunt walk sound, i miss that alot

[wise oyster]

idk that there's anything they can or will do about it, but at least on the official discord, they're not cool w/ it

[amber cloud]

I dont see a crashing fix in the threads 🤷🏼 hopefully it gets resolved soon

[opal crypt]

i didnt know they didnt like older version

[prisma laurel]

[opal crypt]

did you just call me a m o n k e y

[amber cloud]

They just cant have anyone cheating, or trying to cheat

[prisma laurel]

I'm pondering

[opal crypt]

does the unofical cheat shee count as cheating

like honestly it helps me alot cuz im dumb

and forget waaay to much

[solemn stream]

No. It’s widely used and recommended in this server

[opal crypt]

oh thank G O D

Kris is also fake

[opal crypt]

who the f likes lighthouse

ong who does 😭

[prisma laurel]

T2 works

Just did it

[uneven fog]

Dear Kinetic Games, why does a video of a ghost shapeshift not count as a video of the ghost sub-objective 😞

[alpine flower]

Watch your tone in front of the Prestige 20s, fool. They are our gods in this server

[opal crypt]

dear kinetic games, why do you make it feel like dots doesnt exist anymore 😢

[alpine flower]

Your disrespect will be noted

[opal crypt]

ME ?

[alpine flower]

1710 guy

[prisma laurel]

20s?

Ah so I'm fake then

[gray gazelle]

What’s the hardest achievement in your guys opinions?

[opal crypt]

beating apolo 3

[arctic pike]

lowkey it says that everywhere but it really isn't how much you need in total

[alpine flower]

Apocalypse 3

[opal crypt]

i beat it ONCE

[prisma laurel]

Apoc 3 is soo easy

[opal crypt]

never again.

[magic tiger]

Honestly even now I still question prestige 20 users being hackers.

[prisma laurel]

Beated the apoc 3 a few times

[arctic pike]

me and every friend of mine that did it have all needed between 3650-3700 points to actually get it to t3

[opal crypt]

2H,16s,13 minutes.

[alpine flower]

Damn I wish I beat it a few times

[opal crypt]

is when i beat it

[arctic pike]

Doomslayed, apoc 3 did not take as long as that did, the doomslayed is fully based off RNG and luck, you can use methods to make it faster but its complete luck

where as apoc 3 is skill based

[alpine flower]

That doesn't make it hard tho

See orbs in woodwind = reroll

[split flare]

The ghost dont want me to quit the house😭

[arctic pike]

You don't have to reroll if u see orbs in woodwind cuz mimic demon still gives the achievement

[rancid shore]

Is the game gonna get new ghost models in phasmophoba1.0? asking that because the current models were from the unity store which anyone can use

[prisma laurel]

Just did the lighthouse easter egg with the t2 uv

[arctic pike]

regardless tho from a skill pov its easy yeah, but in obtainability its the most difficult as its purely upto RNG

[prisma laurel]

[alpine flower]

Assuming it doesn't mimic ghosts other than demon I suppose

[rancid shore]

Or is it unknown

[arctic pike]

Either way, even with a demon you still have a 1 minute period of needing to die so you might as well die

[mossy mason]

there's a remainder bug

[glacial compass]

Hello, i have a question. What is a yellow point in the map?

[arctic pike]

Yeah, and i mean we're basically at the end of the event you might as well call it a 3650 requirement atp tho

[magic tiger]

Can't wait for the remodels to release.
Really curious how VR looks with them.

[prisma laurel]

Yellow point?

[solemn stream]

If it’s a box with a lightning symbol then it’s the breaker

[prisma laurel]

Isn't it green?

[solemn stream]

🤷🏼‍♀️

[glacial compass]

its a yellow circle

[mossy mason]

sound sensor

[alpine flower]

I'm excited to see what they'll do with the Female asian model. She's got a big ass currently so whether she keeps it or not would be hilarious

[glacial compass]

okey thank you

[mossy mason]

💀

[silent idol]

Where can you even see the new ghost models?

[last drift]

they havent released new models except krampus

[silent idol]

What about the unfinished products? They mentioned seeing one so im curious on where?

Leaks im assuming?

[wise oyster]

nah nothing on new models that I've seen
