[alpine flower]

Was talking about the player models

They're just previews on how they'd look

But nothing concrete so far

[wise oyster]

more "teasers" not "leaks" since they're the ones putting them out

#game-announcements most recent post

[lament wing]

When it comes to the candles being blown out, is the chance rolled every second? Or how often is the chance rolled?

[alpine flower]

Yeah, was switching between this and a gacha server channel rn. I got my vocabularies mixed up

[wise oyster]

it's a random number I think between 20-60 per candle per instance

[rain whale]

RIP Tanglewood kitchen (2020-2026). You will be missed.

[wise oyster]

tbh if we're looking at the design, that was a huge kitchen for that tiny house

[lament wing]

The chance is 67%, or so I’ve been told by YouTubers such as Madixx and Casson, I was wondering how long it was, like how many seconds it would take before the chance rolled.

Oh wait, you mean 20-60 seconds?

[wise oyster]

the chance is tied to the object, not the ghost

[rain whale]

The current kitchen?

[wise oyster]

and for some reason (bug), T2 counts for each of its lights, not as a single ojbect. so you get 3 2/4 rolls at the same time, making it the most accurate.

[wise oyster]

yeah that whole space is huge but the rest of the house is cramped

especially when you discount the garage, which isn't livable space.

[lament wing]

Gameplay wise, it’s excellent for learning how to loop, and also test for Poltergeist, but the looping part only really works if there’s no crawler. Well, it can still work but it’s a lot harder to do, imo.

[wise oyster]

If you get a 1-story 2 bedroom starter home like Tanglewood, the new kitchen is the one you're gonna get.

[lament wing]

But I get what you mean.

I remember when I started looping, I once got a Demon that turned around constantly, it threw me off so much I almost died. Definitely not my best game 😅

[wise oyster]

I also totally agree it does kill the kitchen for gameplay. It looks like a shit hiding spot and it's basically a bathroom for gameplay.

But I'm willing to let them cook and see what the whole thing looks like.

[last drift]

I can't wait to see the new tanglewood

Its gonna still be my fav map, watch.

[alpine flower]

Willow is my actual favorite map so I will enjoy the chaos that will be unleashed upon Tanglewood fans

[wise oyster]

Yeah, I'm also among those who don't adore Tanglewood. Willow ❤️ is my favorite map.

[alpine flower]

My man

[wise oyster]

I so feel that, lmao. the meltdown will be glorious

[wise oyster]

But you could be right, too. And then everyone wins.

[prisma laurel]

I win too?

[mossy mason]

*everyone wins except topo

[wise oyster]

that's what I said

[lament wing]

Huh, really? Not sure if I’d say Tanglewood is my favorite, but Willow sure isn’t. I think I can see why you like it, though. Do you tend to hide a lot? The hiding spots Willow does have feel more reliable to me than Tanglewood’s.
I’d say either Tanglewood or Ridgeview is my favorite.

[alpine flower]

I just like the bigger rooms. Easier to test for a Myling. Plus I also like to use the living room doors during a hunt.

It's basically observe the ghost for free without getting chased.

Unless it attempts to go to the living room then you run for the hills

Which wouldn't be much of a problem because the couch is a decent looping spot too

[lament wing]

Ah yes, the one thing that I consider to be the downside of Tanglewood. You can’t (easily) tell a Myling most of the time, the map is too small for that. Though if you’re skilled enough to tell the footsteps, it’s not so bad.

I’m not experienced enough for that, though. I can’t tell the footsteps most of the time, whether they sound normal or they’re quieter.

[rancid ivy]

One thing I don't like about TW, which is mostly from a 0 sanity perspective, is that there's a long distance between the first possible loop spot so if you don't have a smudge on hand then the ghost can easily end you.

[lament wing]

Ah, yes. Those doors, I never use them personally, mostly because I forget they even exist

[alpine flower]

Only real way to tell apart a Myling is if you can hear stuff getting chucked without the footsteps. It's just that the positioning between you and where the ghost starts hunting is vital

Can't even do the flashlight test smh

[lament wing]

Though, I should correct myself. I forget they can be used that way.

[rancid ivy]

In the rare times I've done a Myling test on TW, I usually just hide in the farthest corner of the garage and hope it doesn't run in there immediately.

[uneven tiger]

guys why does the dayan hate me moving 😭

[lament wing]

Yeah, Ridgeview is my favorite in that aspect, the looping spot is right there when you enter the house.

[alpine flower]

Just gotta love abusing glass doors. They exist in Maplewood too.

[uneven tiger]

mb for replying on accident

[solemn stream]

it doesn't like the movie happy feet

[alpine flower]

It died in a ballet accident and walking gives it PTSD

[lament wing]

That could be true if you mean Tanglewood, but on Willow Street it should be easy enough to tell when the ghost becomes too quiet too soon.

Maybe I’m wrong, though.

[rancid ivy]

I think Tanglewood is the only small map without a looping spot within 10ft of the door.

[alpine flower]

Oh yes I did mean TW

[lament wing]

I’m not very good at telling the specific distance, but I do know the Myling becomes inaudible at 12m range, rather than 20m.

[alpine flower]

In Willow, you can see the ghost walkin towards you and you don't hear the footsteps until it's in the room next to the room you're in

[rancid ivy]

I'm trying to think of another map with that same scenario.

[lament wing]

Well, telling the specific distance when I’m trying to “calculate” if I should be far enough for a Myling test during a hunt.

[rancid ivy]

That's when the cheat sheet comes in handy.

[alpine flower]

If you're unlucky enough, probably Sunny Meadows if the ghost is in the Foyer or first hallway

[rancid ivy]

Granted though, I don't normally use the map tools on it often.

[alpine flower]

Asshole gets to block you from reaching the admin office

[rancid ivy]

I'm talking small maps specifically.

[lament wing]

Can’t Grafton count? Or is the kitchen spot too close for 10ft?

[gray gazelle]

What methods

[alpine flower]

Nah, Grafton has the piano in the left room upon entering

[rancid ivy]

Grafton has looping spots in the living room to the immediate left of the door.

[lament wing]

Ah, the piano counts? Makes sense. I never play on that map, but when I do I tend to use the kitchen.

[rancid ivy]

You know, I've been thinking. If the devs plan to make looping less efficient in the future, why haven't they treated sound/electronics like the LoS speed up?

[lament wing]

If you’d like to count the tiny coffee table in the living room, then Tanglewood does have a looping spot that’s within 10ft.

It’s shitty, but it can be used.

[rancid ivy]

I do count it, but it's much farther out that the other looping spots on other maps.

[alpine flower]

Woodwind. 0 grace period. Grab a video camera and scan for orbs. If there are any = reroll. If there aren't, go in and wait to die for a minute immediately after opening the front gate. If a minute has passed without it trying to kill you, reroll.

[lament wing]

I’d be impressed if someone can loop a Phantom around that coffee table.

Like, perfectly loop one.

[rancid ivy]

I'm sure Psycho has done that at least once. Didn't he do that once with a Revenant?

[lament wing]

Is this Psycho person some looping god? Sure sounds like it.

[wise oyster]

not really

PsychoHypnotic

[atomic leaf]

just loop it around nothing frfr

[rancid ivy]

Nah, he's just psycho lol

[wise oyster]

what would you know about that

[prisma laurel]

Only works if the ghost is too fast

[rancid ivy]

I still can't get over that clip of Psycho, Insym, and CJ wiping to a Deo lol

[atomic leaf]

i might know a thing or two 🥰

[lament wing]

If I recall correctly, Insym initially thought it was a Revenant before realizing it was a Deogen, right?

[rancid ivy]

Yeah. I just rewatched the clip. Psycho got spawnkilled as he was heading to the kitchen, CJ died first in a closet, then Insym slowly suffered the same fate. The funny part is that if Insym noticed sooner, he probably could've ran past teh Deo and looped it.

[wise oyster]

noobs

[prisma laurel]

I consider myself as not a noob

[alpine flower]

I am the best Phasmo player in the world

No it's not, fuck you guys

[prisma laurel]

Such a lie

[lament wing]

Anyone who says that is probs not even close. Unless they’re on the level of Insym or Casson, or maybe even better.

[atomic leaf]

oh boy

[lament wing]

What? Did I say something that is wildly incorrect?

[rancid ivy]

Tbh I'd put Shuee over Insym, even before she became a dev.

[atomic leaf]

nothing against those 2 but there is 100% better players

[wise oyster]

the biggest players aren't the best. They're mostly competent.

Insym is very good at lots of games and picks things up quickly. He's not a phas god

[rancid ivy]

I'd put it like this: They definitely in the 1%, but not the 0.1%.

[alpine flower]

How do you guys rank that hydrasung guy. I've seen him do some insane loops

[rancid ivy]

Tbh I've never watched him.

[wise oyster]

quality guy from what I've seen

haven't watched long content

[atomic leaf]

he’s good I would put him around the same level as casson and insym

[wise oyster]

idk casson but I'd put him well above insym

he was the first person I ever saw air loop the ghost

[rancid ivy]

I don't watch most of the Phas tubers. Not because I don't like them, but because Phas only takes up part of my time spent on Youtube.

[atomic leaf]

casson is actually pretty good he does a lot of apoc too

[wise oyster]

so then there's a big gap b/w him and insym

[atomic leaf]

I would say so

[lament wing]

I get that, but to be frank, those two are the best ones I’ve seen. Besides maybe twigibot, who I’d say is on their level.

[oak swallow]

Apoc is not a standard for being the best player, it is not skill difficulty it is tediousness difficulty if you hate yourself enough to put yourself through it

[rancid ivy]

But has he ID'd a Jinn on Apoc 3?

[atomic leaf]

yes

[rancid ivy]

Nice

[oak swallow]

Insym is my favorite and number one too because he is very knowledgeable and good too in all difficulties

[atomic leaf]

apoc takes a lot more skill then you would think

[wise oyster]

Watch @atomic leaf

[oak swallow]

I have done it too justly it's just no evidence on tediousness level extreme

[rancid ivy]

But yeah, Bandit's right. Apoc 3 is ultimately a game of roulette on whether you get a decent ghost, objectives, and ghost room. Some player can absolutely work through the tedious bullshit, but just because you can doesn't mean it's worth doing it in the first place.

[oak swallow]

Only thing that'd be difficult in it is probably just guessing Jinn but that's all

[wise oyster]

Bane ahh Justly moment

[lament wing]

Yeah, he’s my favorite too, mostly because he’s very fun to watch, imo.

[atomic leaf]

going for perfect games on apoc has a skill level to it and if you don’t agree you haven’t played it enough

there is many situations on apoc where only the extremely skilled players will come out of it with a complete game

[lament wing]

Based off their profile, they’re a speed runner, which if I can bring typical speed runner traits in my assumption, means they’re very good.

[rancid ivy]

My issue with Apoc is that it's simply not fun to play.

[wise oyster]

shit just getting the gear in the map you're better at

[atomic leaf]

and that’s perfectly understandable it’s definitely not for everyone

[atomic leaf]

😭

[wise oyster]

he's in the chat with us right now

[lament wing]

Yeah, I know.

[rancid ivy]

There's two types of speedrunners. Those who are good at playing the game, and those who are good at breaking the game

[gritty dove]

I think trying to quantify who the 'best' at a game is is sort of pointless because that going to mean something different to everyone

[wise oyster]

But he mostly does high level challenges, not speedrunning

[kind osprey]

anyone getting issues of constantly getting disconnected?? It happens to us soooo often

[rancid ivy]

I'm content with just playing my Custom 3 EV with the occasional 0 EV.

[lament wing]

High level challenges? As in looping a Phantom around nothing? Or even a Revenant around nothing?

[atomic leaf]

I do challenges like apoc 3 perfect games on all maps in a row

[wise oyster]

Yes and no. There can be qualifications drawn for the sake of a particular discussion, but it's never a settled matter. It's like arguing who's the best player in any sport.

[atomic leaf]

I have a video of me looping a phantom around nothing if it means anything

[lament wing]

Wait, even better, maybe looping a full speed Moroi in blood moon on absolutely nothing?

[gritty dove]

Exactly

[gray gazelle]

Any1 know if there is a way to cheese that one demon achevement

[lament wing]

Oh wow, that sounds like something I’ll never accomplish in my lifetime.

[wise oyster]

So that's all it is. Just us arguing over who the best quarterback of the season is.

[wise oyster]

Ditto, but I admire the hell outta those who can

[slow spade]

the faster the ghost the easier it is to loop it around nothing

[atomic leaf]

i’ve been slowly trying to do it with tier 1 items only now

[gritty dove]

To be fair I also don't exactly see Phas as an e-sport type of game myself. But I like that it is a game you can see both as a casual thing to play with friends but you can also go in depth in terms of skill

[wise oyster]

That PH Mare Blood Moon was insane

[atomic leaf]

probably the best game i’ve had out of all the games i’ve played

[glacial stag]

75% sanity. 5% sanity pills take one
Forced monkey paw. Wish for activity
Player and ghost speed 150%
Activity High
Ghost events low
Sanity drain 0%
As soon as you unlock door, start 60sec timer. Leave after 60sec. Rinse repeat until demon ability kills.

[wise oyster]

yeah certainly not directly competitive, but the fact that it's big means people are going to have those conversations.

[lament wing]

Isn’t the hitbox a little janky? Not sure if it’s true, but I’ve heard complaints that sometimes the ghost reaches a little further than the model seems to show that it can.

[rancid ivy]

Or do what I did and randomly get it months later from a Demon, who may or may not have been named Karen.

[slow spade]

if youre within 1.5m of the ghost for more than 1s you also die

ontop of the original 1.1m kilbox

[glacial stag]

ima never forgive the lvl 1 player who took my doomslayed achievement from me on prof

[gritty dove]

Oh yeah and that's totally fine. I think what turns me off of those conversations, generally, is that it can get a little... Elitist? Is that the word I'm looking for?

I think it is

[gritty dove]

Hah

[fiery lily]

Hah

[wise oyster]

yeah 100% that's a valid concern

[lament wing]

But fast ghosts aren’t always easy to loop. I think it depends on how open the spot is. The looping around nothing also depends on the room’s size, I’d say.

[lament wing]

Well damn, forgot to add it as a reply to this.

[slow spade]

i mean looping around nothing gets really easy after a while

[gritty dove]

I've never put effort into that because I'm lazy

[alpine sky]

What map would you say apoc 3 is the easiest to play on

[gritty dove]

If I can smudge and run I will

[rancid ivy]

inb4 Prison

[dawn salmon]

just finished my first apoc 3

[slow spade]

nice, what ghost?

[dawn salmon]

demon

[wise oyster]

You sure? (This may not be possible anymore)

[dawn salmon]

literally did a single early hunt and that was the only thing that gave it away

after doing 20+ hunts

[lament wing]

Not if you’re in a tight room, I don’t think. The laundry room in Tanglewood I think is an example of a room that seems too tight for any looping at all, except maybe some brief Deogen looping.

[glacial stag]

u forgot ur lighter

[gritty dove]

I never

[lament wing]

How? How was bro not violated when he was that close? Based off the speed I’m going to say either a Thaye or a Revenant? It seemed to briefly speed up so I’m going to guess Revenant.

[solemn stream]

bold faced lie

[wise oyster]

Wraith I think, right @atomic leaf (the tight kitchen loop)

[slow spade]

you can still get even closer to the ghost

[gritty dove]

Wow, the betrayal, kris

[lament wing]

I can’t watch it, btw. It’s not loading for me.

[atomic leaf]

that was a wraith yeah

[solemn stream]

[lament wing]

Oh wait, no salt disturbed. But how was it that fast in the beginning? Was it blood moon? I can’t think of what would explain how it seemed so fast around the coffee table.

[wise oyster]

prolly playing on 150% speed

[atomic leaf]

it was 150 ghost speed

[wise oyster]

The video of his below the linked one shows how to do it (this still works)

[lament wing]

Ohhh, that makes sense. I never play on 150% ghost speed, so I was comparing it to normal speed.

[wise oyster]

You can do it on 100%, but you need to speed the ghost up first

[lament wing]

How tf did you get the salt to float, though?

[drifting mural]

Do I play phasmo for another half hour while I wait to take my dual action

[atomic leaf]

it was an old bug you can’t do it anymore

[lament wing]

Really?

That ghost was moving so fast in the second video that it started sounding like a Revenant (footsteps wise)

[wise oyster]

yeah he mentions doing 150%

[lime token]

Ghost gotta get its steps in

[mystic mango]

Hi everyone, could someone give me some tips about the Obambo on x10? What characteristics does it have, and also the Gallu, so I can identify them properly?

[inner forge]

Obambo is basically just a shade and idk a fastish ghost combined
Swaps at random
The shy version is super easy to track does more activity
Hunts at 45%? Enraged hunts at 60% and it’s just a normal fast ghost nothing special to note imo it can swap mid hunt tho so that’s cool

[lime holly]

Obambo will have speed similar to slow twins for the first minute upon entering the house. After 1 minute it switches to a speed similar to fast twin (can happen during hunts.) and remains this way for 2 minutes before going back to the slow state. Then after 2 minutes it switches back to fast state and this cycle continues.

Gallu starts in normal state. After it steps in salt, gets smudged, or burns a crucifix its state switches to enraged. If already enraged nothing happens. While enraged, Crucifix range is smaller, gallu will not disturb salt, gets a speed bonus and smudge effect during a hunt is reduced. After it hunts and the hunt ends it switches to weakened state.

[inner forge]

I’ve never actually had a gallu but basically it gets faster when it uses crusy steps in salt and goes into a enraged state I’m not sure how smudge works
When enraged it cant step on salt and I’m guessing crucy range is increased? Not sure

[velvet bane]

do the devs not look at player reports?

[inner forge]

He knows more then me

[velvet bane]

the same hacker has been going around being annoying for like a month now and ive probably reported like 40 times now

[devout osprey]

.

[lime holly]

So the test for 0 sanity 0 evidence (10x)

Would be,

Obambo: have a timer to track its state (then you can tell when its hunting if it must be slow or fast and can rule it out as needed). Look for sudden speed changes mid hunt too.

Gallu: you can smudge it and if you hear a speed increase followed by no salt steps its gallu. Or let it step in salt first and wait a couple seconds, smudge and see if it only stays smudged for 4s rather than 5

[odd vale]

KG has been on holiday since before Christmas and it’s a small department that handles report reviews, bans, etc. If you get any video clips you can attach that to reports via DM @violet nova and those get expedited.

[mystic mango]

With the Obambo, I haven’t seen it change speeds during a hunt. I’ve had to wait up to 3 hunts to identify it. The issue is that I don’t know how an Obambo calms down or becomes enraged.
As for the Gallu, my question is: does it become more enraged during the hunt or before the hunt starts?

[inner forge]

Casual player :

[oak swallow]

can confirm

[lime holly]

It can become enraged before and during the hunt

[oak swallow]

and it's not "more" enraged, he is just enraged before the hunt and during, either by stepping on salt, burning a crucifix or getting incensed

The good thing about him is if he is enraged he doesnt disturb salt so you can rule him out very easily mid hunt with that

[inner forge]

Obambo

[oak swallow]

no Gallu

[inner forge]

NOBAMBO

[oak swallow]

Obambo changes states on its own every 2 minutes, at the start of the hunt it's 1 min then after that every 2 minutes

[lime holly]

Up to 3 hunts sounds normal to hear a speed change. Also depends how long your hunts last for

[inner forge]

No evidence is so complicated so many ghosts to memorize tricks for

[lime holly]

Yup. After many hours it becomes second nature.

Or play with the cheat sheet on the side

[mystic mango]

It depends on my settings, since I play on x15 and x10. I sometimes play on medium and other times on high.

[inner forge]

I’d struggle with nightmare mode… ima need at least 2k hours for no evidence

[lime holly]

I dont even have 1500 hours ingame

U can definitely learn them faster than that with practice

[inner forge]

[brittle halo]

ABC to help me play phas. (I just started my first game.)

[inner forge]

Watch some YouTube vids

[brittle halo]

No.

I need a partner to play with.

[mystic mango]

If you put in the effort, you can learn its behavior before, during, and after a hunt — its environment interactions, sounds, blinking, and speed.

[robust isle]

What's up people

[brittle halo]

Not a video.

[inner forge]

Then go play multiplayer blind and get babysit with 0 knowledge it’s better teaching someone who knows the basics

One video is going to teach very little but enough to get started

[oak swallow]

not at all you can learn it relatively fast bro trust especially if someone can teach you

the challenge in multiplayer is the randoms you get, not the game itself

[inner forge]

Ment the weekly challenge but more then true
We love cursed objects

[zinc coyote]

[mystic mango]

It’s not really necessary. You just need to watch how it behaves during hunts, like they said earlier. You can play with someone who knows the game and explains everything properly, with real passion.
Another thing, like Jadeite said, is that you can use the website to help identify them more easily. And I only have 500 hours.
P.S. I was forced to play way too many x10s XD

[glacial oar]

are demons more aggresive in terms of interactions and showing up on emf than other ghosts

[odd vale]

Their hunt cooldown is 5 seconds less than the other ghosts

[robust isle]

You literally have a book in game 🤷

[mystic mango]

Demons are easy: 20 seconds between each hunt, and 60 seconds after using incense.

[odd vale]

And after a smudge they can hunt after 60 seconds. (Other ghosts aside from spirit is 90 seconds, spirit is 3 mins)

[glacial oar]

oh ok thanks

does anyone have any tips for newer players with this spirit book

im telling u this level 1 spirit book has NEVER been written in

or every ghost im getting is illiterate

how do i make the book work 😭

heyyyyy, so I have all the earlier stuff done but the last goal for the event is showing as locked for me still? what should I do? I wanna upgrade my trophy...

[zinc coyote]

Sometimes its hard to see with t1

[lilac plank]

do you think its more likely that the ghost is writing in it and i cant see or its just not writing

[zinc coyote]

But put it in the center of the ghost room, give it time

[lilac plank]

CENTER right? because we were having a debate over center or doorway

can the ghost write in it in hunts? because we were tryna lead it over the book in the door

[zinc coyote]

Could be both, honestly. Especially if its dark, it can be really hard to see the writing on t1

[lilac plank]

ohh gotchu

is there any place i can get all the possible writings for a T1 book

[zinc coyote]

Don't think so, no. But I usually put it in the center. If you hold F (or if you're on console whatever the place button is) you can see its range. If you have two, it helps to space them out

[lilac plank]

so ik what im looking for cuz i remember before tiers were added the writing was SUPER obvious

[mossy mason]

tip for seeing writing on t1: if the book is OPEN, but has no pencil, it's written in the book

[lilac plank]

oh i see thanks guys

[lilac plank]

this is really good actually thanks sm

[zinc coyote]

Yeah, the pencil is a good key to look for. The writing on it pretty much blends in with the paper in low light lol

[mossy mason]

works on all 3 book tiers

[lilac plank]

aight thanks so much guys im gonna go Bust some Ghosts

[mossy mason]

hell yeah, don't die

[dapper flare]

Greetings

[mossy mason]

hi

[spice venture]

yo, just joined the discord but im a decent vet player. i have finally ran into my first reportable player who is holding the game hostage.

is there any way we can leave w/o them or are we stuck till a ban happens or a disconnection

[vast crown]

nope just gotta leave

[spice venture]

greaaaaaat ty

[vast crown]

yeah lol

i can't recall, from chronicle update, there is a clear visual difference between normal door touch and yurei door touch right? yurei would be smooth full swing while normal door slam would be quick swing

[onyx locust]

한국인 없농

[uneven tiger]

WHO TAGGED ME

I SWEAR I WILL

ILL

[oak swallow]

yes

[vast crown]

wish it was still identifiable by ear alone lol i'm never looking at any doors near the ghost

[oak swallow]

it's still the same smooth sound

granted it's easier to identify through visual of the door but the sound still is the same

[vast crown]

i mean the old double touch sound

[oak swallow]

I don't know how old that is but the sound is still there I think

haven't had a yurei in a minute so I'm not 100% locked in on that

[vast crown]

nope they got rid of it

i don't think tents do it anymore either

[sly charm]

I haven't gotten a single female ghost since the update, anyone else having issues getting a female ghost?

[vast crown]

are you playing event maps? event maps are krampus only which is male always

[sly charm]

I've played other maps, but I dodnt know they made the event maps male only, so that would be why, as im playing those more often. Thank you

[oak swallow]

you're playing the event maps

[vast crown]

yee

[oak swallow]

I had no idea and I don't think I have ever seen what a yurei does to tents now that I think about it

[vast crown]

yeah used to be identifiable off of tent ability touch but it was so hard to hear you NEED a parabolic mic unless you're right next to it

[fickle isle]

Is the Nell's Diner easter egg id cards still available?

[vast crown]

always will be

[fickle isle]

Is it complete able on amateur?

[vast crown]

probably

[fickle isle]

I was trying to do it and I couldn't put the credit card into the atm

It is the interact button or use button? I'm on console and the guide said f on kbm

[vast crown]

the button you use to place crucifix on the ground or to place dots on a wall

[fickle isle]

Oh alr

Thx, ima try that rn

[topaz star]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but has anyone else gotten the animated phasmo ID card for the event? It isn't unlocking for me

[vast crown]

restart the game and play through another event map

[topaz star]

Ah okay, thank you!

[vast crown]

if it doesn't show up it will eventually

[blissful gust]

think it might be just u

[vast crown]

its because they playing mostly event maps

[blissful gust]

as much as i like the event im ready to say bye to it, finding the ghost room is a pain on some maps while it’s snowing 😭

[vast crown]

instead of looking for cold breath in that case just listen for item touches and confirm with motion sensor

[zinc coyote]

[prisma laurel]

[fickle isle]

It worked thx for the help

[narrow spindle]

I wonder if the next halloween event

would be the cauldron one or the Crimson eye again

[mossy mason]

it'll be crimson eye again

[narrow spindle]

Aaaw

I wanted the 2023 one

[plush mountain]

I am once again asking for a place in he journal that shows if you've picked up the bone. Twice in the last week I've filled up my media with higher value photos, so I didn't need one of the bone, and then forgotten about it when doing my journal check before I leave.

And both times it was a Mimic who scared me by burning a cruci right next to me lol

[lavish sapphire]

has anyone gone to an area where there are no plushies there, only to hear a thud and there be a plushie behind you on the floor?

[vast crown]

yeah the ghost can teleport them

[lavish sapphire]

that is creeeeeeepyyyy

[vast crown]

same for mannequins

[lavish sapphire]

i would NOPE even harder

[dawn salmon]

scarier than wraith teleport

[mossy mason]

first ghost of the big 26... was a mimic.

gonna be a 10/10 year

[vast crown]

my first ghost was a fart

spoooookyyyyyyy

[lavish sapphire]

wraith teleport?

[vast crown]

wraith will randomly choose a person then teleport to them at random points through the investigation during periods that it is not hunting

leaving emf2 when it arrives at its teleportation destination

phantom does the same thing but instead of teleporting it just walks from wherever it's at

[rapid grove]

is there 7 stones for naughty list on Willow street, or is that a bug? Cuz game wants me to collect 7 stones

[vast crown]

also leaving emf2 when it arrives at its destination

[vast crown]

willow is bugged

[rapid grove]

oh ok, so no need to submit report cuz its a known issue?

[vast crown]

yee

[lavish sapphire]

so its just a jumpscare that

can happen at any point, anywhere, anytime

[dawn salmon]

pretty much

extremely funny when paired with zero second grace period

you just get JFKd

[terse jungle]

Can someone list item for task Christmas? Collect item for bag

[uneven tiger]

How creepy would it be if the phasmophobia had a ghost that would record your voice, and once it kills you, it plays audio of your own voice to confuse your teammates?

[dawn salmon]

would be easy to rule out

a funny idea I had would be a ghost that would become extremely fast when you have direct LOS on it but become very slow if you look directly away from it

though it would always know where u were like a deogen

[lavish sapphire]

theres a game like that where youre all plague doctor looking characters and they will record certain phrases and stuff to make cohesive sentences and fool you into following them into isolated areas to killyou

[mossy mason]

it'd be creepy, but privacy laws would likely prevent that from ever happening

[vast crown]

there's games that do stuff like this

with a disclaimer ofc

[lavish sapphire]

check out mimesis

[frank cedar]

How can i identify mare in no evidence no light?

[vast crown]

it will still use its ability to flip lights off when you turn them on, even if there's no power

it just has to be within 4m of the switch when you flip it

[stable otter]

yo

[frank cedar]

Okay thank u

[stable otter]

can someone help me with 1 campfire rq

i legit just need smudge sticks then im chilin

[ocean sun]

does anyone know where to find the elf on maple lodge campsite lmao

[trail fractal]

Alright genuine question, are they actually removing the main looping spot that everyone knows and loves on Tanglewood? Or are they trolling us and adding a looping spot with the dining table?

I want go see what the community thinks about this and if ya’ll think it’s just a prank since they never showed the dining room lol (even though it’ll nerf Tanglewood either way)

[bronze lantern]

Is the game bug when the ghost kill you you can see your character model choking your self on top of your own

[bronze lantern]

I’ll just loop the kitchen countertops

[scenic depot]

Hi phasmo chat what’s the default ghost speed during a blood moon?

[dusk field]

Yes it's normal

[dusk field]

Speeds up to 150 or 125

[scenic depot]

Ty

[jovial nova]

Anyone know the quickest way to do the school map

With like 50 rooms

[lilac ore]

Grab parabolic microphone and pray you find it fast before it hunts you

[jovial nova]

Alr ty

[junior summit]

The ghost diddled me in the diner

[dusk field]

prabolic

[junior summit]

Metabolic parabolic alcoholic gartic sick beak peak

[vapid sage]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me level up im new to the game trying to figure it out. And get better stuff to help.

[arctic pike]

Tier 3 parabolic, the others work too but the tier three covers both down and upstairs at once and tells you where the noise came from, apart from that the cursed objects are always a great way to find it

That is assuming cursed objects are enabled

[slow briar]

the ghost im up against swapped from walking to crawling, is that a tell of something like an obake?

[stark dove]

no

patient 07 and the child model have different hunting stances

[muted wedge]

Yo why do i always get kicked from publics i just wanna play and get xp bruh

[fading jackal]

publics are toxic.

[muted wedge]

I figured

[fading jackal]

if you're too low level: begone noob
if you're too high level: stop making us feel like noobs or begone hacker

[dusk field]

thats usual

[oak rampart]

Sometimes I wish there was a cute message when we get kicked from public lobbies just for joining.

The "YOU WERE KICKED" is so harsh.

Especially when you're kicked for no reason at all.

[oak rampart]

SO MUCH this.

[woven cloud]

[frank cedar]

can someone help me get apocalypse gold?

[south violet]

The Apocalypse Challenge is a solo challenge

You won't get the trophy in multiplayer

[uneven barn]

ウィローストリートで木の棒が足りなくなった。
どうすればクリアになりますか？

[frank cedar]

yeah but i can share my screen on dc and people can help me identify the ghost

[tall imp]

I beat apocalypse 3 yesterday 😺

90hr playtime

[tall imp]

They might mean coach them on how to do it but there's lots of yt vids for that

oh they did I didn't read msg lol

[uneven barn]

Willow: Not enough sticks to clear the Naughty Gift

[stark dove]

It's a known issue I'm pretty sure, you can't do anything about it

[keen valve]

Had a weird thing happen with my friends that I’m not 100% sure if it was a bug or if we somehow were doing something wrong:
we were on tanglewood on amateur (2 of us were brand new to the game) and the ouija board just straight up didn’t work. The planchette showed up, but when we yapped at it it didn’t move and didn’t want to say goodbye

[uneven barn]

[warped lake]

I’m new to this game any things to help?

I’m in a game rn

[stark dove]

voice recognition can be janky, if it doesnt work just try switching to text options

[keen valve]

When I did that it bugged out and didn’t let me click on the options

[stark dove]

weird

[keen valve]

It was quite strange

[stark dove]

i never rly use text options so i cant help much with that part

[keen valve]

(It’s also been a while since I have played so there is a decent chance that we were somehow doing something wrong)

[stark dove]

do the training if you havent and learn to manage your sanity

[warped lake]

Kk a ghost even just happened straight away does that mean anything?

[tall imp]

In the ghost room, if you want interactions keep the lights off. Generally interactions happen a lot less if lights are on

spirit box just won't work if lights are on from my experience

[stark dove]

it doesnt mean much but it could be an eventy ghost like oni or thaye, also shades have a low chance of succeeding an attempted event when high avg sanity so its unlikely one

not going off of much though

[tall imp]

it means the ghost room is on the same floor as them, right?

or same floor the event happened

[stark dove]

most of the time yeah

[warped lake]

Kk we also found a hand print and also a pentagon in the basement

[tall imp]

Nice

Take photos of those

[warped lake]

Kk

[worn glade]

huge ribcage in the living room -

"how did we ever end up getting haunted??

[warped lake]

My friend said give me a sign on the spirt box and now the car in the garage is honking its horn and head lights flashing

[tall imp]

ghost room garage prolly

[warped lake]

Freezing temps in garage

[tall imp]

sweet

[warped lake]

It’s a Hantu,Demon,Mimic or Jinn

[tall imp]

Any ghost orbs?

[warped lake]

The ghost started singing to my friend lol

But no not so far

We got disconnected lol it was a jinn

[dusk field]

easy test for jinn put emf on top of the breaker

[warped lake]

Like the fuse box thingy?

[dusk field]

should be emf 2 for possible jinn

[warped lake]

Kk

[dusk field]

yeh jinn cant turn off the fuse box

[warped lake]

Kk

Well we in a new round so we’ll try some tricks

[dusk field]

oni cant do miss form

thaye is slower when more in ghost room

[warped lake]

What’s miss form

[dusk field]

its a air ball event

[warped lake]

Ok

[lament wing]

If they’re going in and get evented straight away and they’re at max sanity it cannot be a Shade. Shades cannot event when you’re at 100% sanity.

[lament wing]

Or EMF 5 I’m pretty sure.

[main meadow]

When near ghost for a time not just ghost room.

Remember folks the ghost room is not the lock all to ghost abilities and evidence! It is the place orbs are locked and place ghost returns to after a hunt.

[warped lake]

It turned on the tap and emf 5 I’m outa here✌️

[worn glade]

you can 'miss' a mist form event depending on where you are or what you were doing, if the lights go out and you hear a loud hiss afterwards, that's a mist event

[stark dove]

yeah itll be a 0% chance of succeeding but even 1 sanity loss makes it a 2% chance, i wouldnt rule out shade just based on that cause the rng in this game is wild sometimes

unless theyre CERTAIN they were at 100% avg sanity

[warped lake]

Looks like the sink is filled with blood

[worn glade]

oh yea, that was me, I hadn't flossed in a while

[onyx pagoda]

So, is there something wrong with spirit? Me and a buddy just had a spirit and it behaved incorrectly. The journal says it gets stopped by the burning of incense. However, when we did it tried to hunt and also while in the truck it's activity stayed steady around 8-9 for 3 minutes. We went back in to try to get more evidence and ended up dying. Anyway, my question is, why did it behave like a gallu and get enraged at the use of incense instead of behaving like a spirit and calming down?

[main meadow]

Incense increase activity for all ghosts, the incense stop a spirit for hunting for 3 minutes when they are hit from the moment you press the button/ it hits the ghost

It does not calm them down they will still be active due to incense ability to increase activity

[onyx pagoda]

Since when? I read online it stops activity for 3 minutes?

[main meadow]

No

It stops a hunt

From the beginning

[onyx pagoda]

No thag's cruci.

[main meadow]

No.

Crucifix has no special effect on the spirit like all ghosts it will stop a hunt for 25 seconds unless it's a demon then 20 seconds.

[tough flicker]

The crucifix isn't timed like the incense

[worn glade]

crux does nothing except barring an attempted hunt
incense stops a ghost from attempting hunts

one of the three new ghosts is more aggressive when there's a crux in the room, but that's a unique interaction to them, unrelated to the Spirit or any other ghost

I spy with my little eye, a white dot floating around on 0ev

[modern mauve]

Snow

[main meadow]

Look at all the orbs!

[worn glade]

I've got bloodmoon on a christmas map, now

[modern mauve]

Blood snow

[main meadow]

Not even kidding the amount of snow orbs I've seen reported

[lament wing]

Its description “stopped by the burning of incense” hints at the fact that a Spirit will not be able to hunt for 3 minutes after being cleansed.

[eternal iris]

i got cunted by an onryo BRO

why do 99% of ghosts have the same speed

you cant tell them apart 😭

[lament wing]

Activity has nothing to do with it. In fact, I think Spirit’s trait is that it becomes even more active than other ghosts after being cleansed. Might be wrong about that, though.

[main meadow]

That's why abilities are the next tell.

[lament wing]

There’s about 9 ghosts that are pretty easy to tell just based off speed, well, 10 if you count Gallu.

[main meadow]

Like most ghosts except broken breaker jinn. Technically you can rule out Goryo

[lament wing]

Something I’ve noticed is that if the ghost is pretty active with interactions outside of its room, then it’s not a Goryo. That has worked for me every time, anyway.

[main meadow]

The only problem with that is that they can still slightly roam outside their room and interaction range can reach through walls so motion sensors are your best friend

The problem with Goryo besides that it's ability or weakness is not to move rooms and any ghost could choose to do that like an asshole

[lament wing]

Well, yes. But if the interaction they do is at least 2 rooms away, then it’s not a Goryo, from what I’ve seen. Not sure if that can be applied to the events, as well.

[main meadow]

15 m for event "basically

So it can get a bit far

[lament wing]

Honestly, the only ghosts that have any events that limits them, if that makes sense would be Shade and Oni.

I don’t get singing events a lot so it’s often difficult for me to identify a Shade if I play 0 evidence.

[main meadow]

The candle thing but use motion sensors and don't plan on it works perfect in rooms that have dividers close to loop spot like tangle counter

[lament wing]

It’s usually a 50/50 for me. Half the time the ghost is pretty aggressive, yet turns out to be a Shade, sometimes the ghost is the shyest one of all time or something, yet turns out to be a Demon or a young Thaye.

Well, if the ghost never seems to leave its room no matter what, you can suspect a Goryo.

[main meadow]

Or like I said horrible RNG but that's why I hate that ghost ability I also hate Mare ability because any ghost can do that!

Jinn Mare and Goryo need tweaking but oh well

[lament wing]

Does anyone here disagree with my opinion that Banshee, Goryo, Mare, Onryo and Shade are the most annoying ghosts to identify on 0 evidence, assuming you’re speed running?

[main meadow]

Shade and onryos have candle tells.

But yes fuck mare and goryo

Banshee I mean if I'm playing solo sure I'd have to set up some motion sensors and not do one hunt runs

[lament wing]

I know they can be identified using their traits, namely Banshee and Onryo. But it’s still annoying and I tend to give up if I can’t figure out the ghost within 3-5 hunts.

[main meadow]

It's hard because the game wasn't meant to be played super fast it was meant to be a suspenseful build up horror

[lament wing]

Ah yes, Shades will never blow out the firelight in the same room as a player.

I never really think about that, if I’m being honest.

[last laurel]

Isn't goryo forced dots on 0 evidence?

[main meadow]

Yep unless you get that really shitty room division issue like I said with tangle counter

[main meadow]

No you can't get evidence on zero evidence mimics orbs are weaknesses not in evidence

[lament wing]

The room division issue, does it apply to Ridgeview’s dining table, too?

[main meadow]

Yeah

[lament wing]

Dammit.

[main meadow]

I don't do ridgeview that much or at least when I do never seem to have shade

[stark dove]

Remove ridgeview foyer

[main meadow]

I'm mostly a willow guy I don't know why I just like that map

Even if I get a basement ghost at least I can loop downstairs around the shelves

[lament wing]

I do Ridgeview whenever I try to speedrun for quick money and exp.

[last laurel]

Ridgeview upstairs hallway shade was horrendous

[worthy mountain]

i think it was added only because of a light switches that tied to foyer, there’re few, not only 1

[lament wing]

I find it better than Camp Woodwind. I’m not that great at looping so I like having hiding spots near my looping spot. Woodwind may have that, too, but I’ve never noticed in that case. Mostly because I almost never play Woodwind.

[main meadow]

Only thing I'm hoping for is if we can go outside on Tanglewood please don't put in motion sensor lights they already fuck the Spirit box

[lament wing]

Who here agrees with me that Nell’s Diner is the worst small map?

[main meadow]

I don't good looping spots

And I kind of enjoy the different style than just a damn house map

[lament wing]

Most of the time, for me anyway, the environment becomes too loud to hear when the ghost starts hunting which often ends up forcing me to rely on blinking lights to tell.

[stark dove]

The outside light prevents sanity drain in the foyer right?

Pretty dumb if so 😭

[stark dove]

Grafton is imo

Feels more medium

But then again prison is also medium

They're not the best at labeling a maps size...

[modern mauve]

The worst small map is CWW and it's not even close

[lament wing]

Nah, I honestly prefer Grafton over Nell’s.

[modern mauve]

Prison is only Medium because OG Asylum was labeled as Large back in the day. They just haven't changed it...yet

[stark dove]

They're both really dark, I'll take cww over them

[lament wing]

Not sure why CWW would be the worst, but alright.

[lament wing]

Your opinion, but I’d say Nell’s is easily the worst.

[fickle meteor]

same

[main meadow]

I'd love some maps to have their own multiplier like prison is what I consider a skill map in it's current state either cell block is almost always a 2 smudge minimum escape lol

[fickle meteor]

i lovee cww 🤍🤍

[main meadow]

But that would cause metas~

[runic thistle]

I THOUGHT THE STICKS WERE CINNAMON THIS WHOLE TIME

[fickle meteor]

this is why i dont like it lol

#skillissue

[onyx pagoda]

Why would you burn cinnamon

[runic thistle]

well it looks like cinnamon in the dark lmaooo

[main meadow]

Mmmm yo makes sense cinnamon sticks cinnamon on top of cocoa lol

[stark dove]

yum

[runic thistle]

i didnt understand it dont worry sticks made more sense

[prisma laurel]

[runic thistle]

you can burn it to make your house smell good too i think

[modern mauve]

CWW's room boundaries are very shaky at best, that's strike one. Barely any decent places to break los, few hiding spots that work combined with breaking LoS. Ghosts like Yurei are difficult if not impossible to ID if they're not close to the bathroom or entrance area. The map was made within a few weeks, and unfortunately it shows

[prisma laurel]

Which makes it the best map!

[modern mauve]

The darkness I can at least do something about because firelights, glowsticks, dots exist lol

[fickle meteor]

it so cute

[modern mauve]

Banned

[runic thistle]

CWW isnt bad but i die a lot

[cinder geyser]

Just had a ghost on the roof 🤣 🤣 🤣

[modern mauve]

Tanglewood?

[cinder geyser]

Grafton

[modern mauve]

Wowsers

[main meadow]

Santa ghost is just doing what he does

[cinder geyser]

It was the ghost with uh.... no clothes on 🤣 just casually running around on the roof on new years day.

[main meadow]

Tell me it doesn't make sense

[brazen perch]

Team kitnetic i have a good idea maybe you can set in the buss on the map of the house witch difficulty you playing

Because if the game is started you not sure witch difficulty your playing

[ocean hawk]

Is anyone else having issues with incense not working properly?

[glacial stag]

wdym?

[south violet]

If you're playing with other people there may be a delay

[ocean hawk]

I'm always playing with same people, we have all been pretty decent at using incense. It only started having issues since the new update, all of us cant get it to actually work on the gjost

[stark dove]

In what way

[prisma laurel]

The smudges doesn't seem to work in about 0.5 seconds

[stark dove]

Unplayable, uninstalling 🥀

[viscid sequoia]

key im new, question, is 0.8 freezing or not?

[glacial stag]

it is freezing on t2/3 thermos

[viscid sequoia]

thx

[median anchor]

Im just returning after a couple months, does someone mind explaining how the event works please?

[oak swallow]

you play in events map, there are boxes you click on in the map that jumpscare you that give you points, there's a list of items before you enter the map next to a bag, you just collect said items and put them in the bag in the right order to get a reward and event points

[stark dove]

Theres not rly an order

[eternal iris]

for t1 it has to go below -1?

[glacial stag]

you go onto the maps marked with the 🎁 icons, where you can get points to unlock ID card and trophy upgrades, once you complete a progress bar, the points will go towards the next one. 1 id card, 3 trophy upgrades. you need 3600 points total
Points are obtains from:

• correct ghost
• optional objectives
• opening krampus boxes
• doing the naughty/nice list
• based difficulty multiplier (i.e. x6 = 6 points)

[median anchor]

Those items are the candy canes and the rocks?

[glacial stag]

reinsdeers, trees, stars, nutcrackers, elves, candy canes, gingerbread men, rock piles, coal, sticks, capybaras

[median anchor]

Oh i see, thank you

[glacial stag]

oh and if u do fail the naughty/nice list, it'll mak the ghost 15% faster

[glacial stag]

np, you got ur work cut out for you, if u only starting now to grindd the event

it ends on the 6th of jan, 12pm gmt

[median anchor]

Im on vacation from work so ill be spending it on that then

[silent idol]

We just had a dayan spawn in a tier 3 crucifix. No one did a cursed hunt

Inside the area

It had 1 burn left

[glacial stag]

best of luck to u, i believe event progress carries over to the next christmas event

[glacial stag]

logical explanation is that it hunted literally just outside the range

[silent idol]

From what we checked it literally had 0 spots to hunt from

Maybe there was like 1 millimeter of uncovered ground in the very ass crack of the boy bedroom but i doubt that would allow it to

[glacial stag]

as far as i am aware of, we dont actually know how much "space" a ghost needs to hunt when sectioned off by crucifixes, it could like a milimeter or it could be a like a radius or smt idfk

[stark dove]

Sounds pretty easy to test

With a bunch of t3 salt and motion sensors that is

And a t1 crucifix prob

[glacial stag]

welp let me know when u get conclusive results

[oak swallow]

Then why does it fail when people put items out of order?

[glacial stag]

there is no order, it fails if u put more items than it requires or the wrong item all together

like if the list asks for 2 reindeers and u put 3, fail

if u throw a lighter in the bag, fail

[final yoke]

Hi I’m new to this game can anybody teach me how to play ?

[worthy mural]

i finally reached lvl 18!

also i won my first match on Professional first try

[naive plinth]

Tutorial does a great job at introducting movement, and the main items needed in the game to identify a ghost

[vivid crag]

When does the Winter's Jest Event end

[final yoke]

Ok I’ll check it out thanks

[worthy mural]

hopefully never i love krampus

[glacial stag]

Jan 6th 12pm gmt

[vivid crag]

Thx

[nocturne cliff]

anyone else having issues with Krampus list asking for more than what spawns in teh location?

[naive plinth]

Ive never personally experienced it but i recall folks in here saying it does happen and its a bug

[worthy mural]

wait what do u get if you fill up krampus bag?

[naive plinth]

Event points for daily/weekly reward, i think just by completing one you get a badge graphic and also a trophy in the display case

[worthy mural]

ooh thats nice

broooooo i know how to play the game solo and iv beaten it a few times but im still scared to hop into one 😭

[half walrus]

yo me to

[plain solstice]

Filling the bag with the right items will give you a box with goodies. If you put the wrong item in you will get coal and the ghost will get nastier. It will also give you extra points towards the Community and Personal rewards. These points is what you need in order to unlock the Foil version of the Event ID card, the normal ID card has already been unlocked by the community, and to upgrade the trophy (the basic trophy has already been unlocked by the community).
I have not found the sack asking for any items that are not in the houses, but you may find that some are harder to find. If you look in the pinboard in the lobby you will see a guide showing what the items look like on the list and in the house, this should help you identify what you need to get.
Happy hunting

[fallow vortex]

what are the differences in winter jest trophies? i just leveled up to 3 and no difference?

[main meadow]

Gifts, glow eyes, then a spot light

[fallow vortex]

i got the gifts on first update but don't see any difference on second update.

[main meadow]

<#screenshots message>

[fallow vortex]

ok thanks. had to restart my game

[gray gazelle]

Guys what are the twitch drops even and how do I do it

[odd vale]

There aren’t any right now happening.

[main meadow]

When they are avalible you link yer phas to twitch in game and on twitch then watch what streams they say if its a rare OCC badge

[gray gazelle]

Ohhhhhhh

[ionic brook]

Hey I got a ghost that's hunting above 50% rn, playing with a friend and we narrowed it down to mimic, Moroi or twins. Each hunt so far has been prevented via cross so we havent heard its speed yet

[gray gazelle]

Do you know when the next one will be?

[odd vale]

No

They haven’t announced any upcoming.

[stark dove]

Mimic, if you're certain your avg sanity is above 50%

Should be able to just look for orbs

[graceful nest]

If I get motion censor going off infront of dots but no dots, can I cross off dots as a no?

[main meadow]

no.

Just because a ghost goes in front of your motion sensor doesn't mean that you're going to get dots It has to enter the dot state when it's in front of the dots.

[graceful nest]

Darnit.. Is it since dots isnt a guarantee

[graceful nest]

Alrighty thx

[prisma laurel]

[main meadow]

I don't cross off orbs because they could have been missed, I do cross off book because if it's thrown that means the ghost isn't going to write in it [unless I'm in two evidence or under mode], EMFI mean you should get it within 10 tries but it's still RNG so.., Freezing temperatures the ghost could be a jerk and not stay in one room since temperatures follow the ghost, Spirit box same thing the ghost could have walked out of the range it could be having an error more likely on the lower tiers, Ultraviolet I mean there's always the chance of Obake hiding UV but after 2 or thats usually ok to mark off, Dots another pain in the butt one could be a jerk there or Goryo.

[prisma laurel]

Too much to read

[glad void]

hey im curious what is yalls opinion on the tanglewood rework?

[spark maple]

why do ppl make public lobbies just to kick you☠️ genuine weirdos

[prisma laurel]

Looks like a house

[main meadow]

We've gotten two screenshots can't see any of the rest of the house so no opinion yet glad they're making it their own and getting rid of the Unity models / preset

[wispy karma]

50/50 i do understand that people might miss or simply get annoyed for the changes. however they havent even showed the full sample of the map so i cant tell wether if pleased with it

[main meadow]

Multiple reasons sometimes people are waiting for friends to join but they need to keep it open to be able to get randoms because you can't change between private and open.
They might not like your voice they might not like your level they might not like your username

[wispy karma]

overall i think tanglewood rework its neccesarily bad

[glad void]

i dont think its neccesarily bad, its just not really what the community wants

[spark maple]

if they want friends to join then js close the lobby and make a private lol

[glad void]

the kitchen loop disappearing has me worried tho

[main meadow]

The unity assets need to be changed that's true the change in the kitchen I don't know it's their choice but we haven't even seen the right side we don't know if there's still an island or a counter there so we don't know that the kitchen loop has disappeared

How do we know there's not like a island there in the middle of the room with some chairs people use them as tables

[glad void]

theres no way theres a loop in that kitchen

its much too small

[wispy karma]

couldnt agree more. inwish they could keep the og tanglewood just as sunny meadows have 2 versions, it would be cool to give it a lore as for an excuse, lets just say the owner of tanglewood moved out to a similar house as its previous one because he liles it that way ig but somehow still its new house gets haunted

[main meadow]

The loop was to the right the kitchens now to the left we don't know what's to the right

[solemn stream]

It’s not a live service game. The devs are working hard to make a game they can be proud of and we’re just along for the ride

[wispy karma]

they changing unity assets? heard the engine is somewhat good in graphics but also heard that unity has fps or optimozation issue

[main meadow]

You can find Tanglewood in multiple games because it's a preset they want to get rid of all Unity assets make the game their own

The game started with just one man who was just making a ghost identification detective game in virtual reality and it became huge and now we have what we have

[analog reef]

Dont wanna prestigguee but might be fun to go back up the levels

[modern mauve]

I'm not worried at all about TW, I don't see a world where looping doesn't exist on that map

[main meadow]

just do it to 3 for now for Achievement but who knows if they might give us some cosmetics for more in the future so up to you I say do it just to get it over with so you're not wasting experience past 100

[rare steppe]

That last newsletter was gas, im super pumped for the next update now

[modern mauve]

What a lotta folks aren't talking about much, is the door to the left of the kitchen that may lead outside

[analog reef]

is it recommended to go to professional for first few levels of new prestigue?

[main meadow]

As long as they don't put in that stupid idea for more motion sensors

[wispy karma]

im pretty sure i can foreshadow a ghost busters collab once they add customization to characters, still dont know how it works tho

[analog reef]

or is nightmare still doable

[modern mauve]

Or if they do, have a lightswitch for them

[main meadow]

Once you hit Nightmare with absolutely zero of the spare equipment it can be hard to identify some ghosts but you could still get lucky and to get ghosts off speed on zero evidence 13x games

[analog reef]

Dayern easiest I think with Rev

[rare steppe]

Its probably a side alley or a way to the back yard

[wispy karma]

what if they add a looping spot on the backyard

[modern mauve]

They could well do that

[wispy karma]

like a looping table for example with assets like a grill lets just say

[rare steppe]

A swimming pool

How messed up would it be if a ghost could haunt it and crawl out of it looking like some drowned kid or something

Dripping wet and white skin and all that

[wispy karma]

well tanglewood shows that the hom is owned by a family, might aswell expect the backyard filled with toys, slides, perhapsna dog hut or something else

[wispy karma]

dont know how much the next uodate gonna be but as far as im seing theyre trying to enhance the horror experience? they could aswell add more ghost events, one of them could be these

[modern mauve]

The rebranded Horror 2.0 isn't gonna be until later in the year, so maybe new stuff then?

[wispy karma]

ig, still i dont have a problem, as long as the game feels like actually having cool new stuff im fine

[modern mauve]

TW and character stuff will be in Q1, excited for that

[wheat hamlet]

Same

[rare steppe]

Hopefully they make doors more interactive like in amenesia where you have to go for the door handle and actually unlatch the door

[wispy karma]

Q1 will be around jan-march? dont know much ab these abreviations

[modern mauve]

Yep

It just means the first quarter of the year

[wispy karma]

ah i see

[agile gorge]

Can other guys add me, please

Please

[wispy karma]

i was thinking of ghost forcing you to play a game like hide and seek or seek a suitable room or shelf to cover from freezing.
The freezing game in more detail consist of the ghost forcing you to enter a zone where you dont die by freezing and hide and seek would be something like if you dont find me and the timer runs out you lose a huge amount of sanity or die

[clever quiver]

Can anyone help figure out what ghost it is I sent in #videos?

[sour ore]

hell nah

no need to make things any more annoying

[round nacelle]

can onis do the airball event because i just had an oni but i thought i heard an airball

[prisma laurel]

They can't

[vast crown]

another event makes the same sound at the end

[main meadow]

That's the part you got wrong, the events can all sound that way if you walk into ghost

[round nacelle]

i was stood still when i heard it

[main meadow]

Yep

Don't hear it.
See it.

The ghost can also walk into you

[round nacelle]

true

[queen lintel]

it can be a bit difficult to determine airball ghost events if you're not looking at it or you get too close before you can see it

[oak swallow]

they can't, you probably heard the event that makes the same noise at the end

[prisma laurel]

Wow rude

[oak swallow]

not probably definitely, be careful about that

[elfin musk]

So if we hear the hiss and see the airball its not an oni? To be clear bc its always confused me

[supple badger]

I was trying to finish the christmas gifts but it asked for 6 rocks and only 5 rocks spawned on willow street

[prisma laurel]

Yeah your cooked

[supple badger]

why would they do this to me

[odd vale]

Sadly, a bug.

[main meadow]

You have to see the air ball because that sound can be any ghost touching you in a event either it walks into you or you walk into it

[odd vale]

It’s why I won’t play Willow on the event maps

[queen lintel]

for the Christmas event going on?

[odd vale]

Yeah

Like if it in the rotation I don’t play it

[queen lintel]

mimic is fun, yet can be dangerously annoying

[prisma laurel]

[queen lintel]

why not?

[main meadow]

Easiest ghost on no evidence has orbs when no other ghosts will have orbs~

[analog reef]

man

getting a gallu at level 4 is horible

nothing to make them angered so they act like a normal ghost

[vast crown]

DM @violet nova

[analog reef]

Got the killed in under a minute achievement by demon :D

moment i went into house it started hunting and surrendered myself to it

[prisma laurel]

Christmas event ending soon 😔

[modern mauve]

Good, that means we're on our way towards updates 😄

[torpid nexus]

i join one girl she put custom game where evi are 3 and no sprint and ghost speed is 150% 😂 like wtf

[prisma laurel]

Did she also put 50% player speed?

[torpid nexus]

yeah i guess

she told me she need money

[prisma laurel]

[oak swallow]

Literally, this is the most sleeper event we need new content

[modern mauve]

Well, we got new ghosts with the event, and some decent changes to the event itself

[stark dove]

Anything to not learn ghost types 🥀

[torpid nexus]

😂

[torpid nexus]

im confused yesterday i join one guy who was doing no evi and ghost speed 150%, deos 150% in no evi is normal thing in this days, im just old player come back 3 days ago

[oak swallow]

nothing to do with the event we just got new ghosts which I'm surprised they pushed with the event given that one of them you can literally never meet in the event maps

I'm SUPER happy we got three new ghosts but the event is sleeper hard tbh

[lament wing]

Krampus singing event, is that just when it makes those weird distorted noises?

Well, it sounds distorted to me, anyway.

[glossy raptor]

It’ll sing and stand still for like 10 seconds or so, that’s the singing event, it does sound a little funny or distorted

[slate sinew]

My friend can't join me

[blissful ocean]

Think the servers are going down, me and my partner are having loads of issues rn.

Microphone issues, latency, etc.

[muted oriole]

Anyone feel like the old spirit box was better,like yeah props to the content creators with help of new one but old one was way more scarier no? Just look at the one on Demonologist

[sour ore]

why is everyone pitting phasmo against demonologist?

from what I've heard demonologist sounds rough

[storm ermine]

investigation time starts once you unlock the front door, right?

[prisma laurel]

Yes

[storm ermine]

ight. I thought so, i just didn't trust myself

[feral saddle]

Where can i see the blink pattern comparisons

[rancid ivy]

IIRC, Phas inspired Demonologist, hence the similarities in their gameloop. However, they pivoted more towards spooks than the puzzle aspect, so it feels rougher in comparison.

[sour ore]

spooks is boring IMO

[trim wasp]

Hey anyone else having issues joining others ? When I start the game my ID card says „FAILED TO LOAD“ When I try to join someone (or they want to join me) it says check region, crossplay & update. Got all checked but same issue.
(Platform: Xbox)

[barren ocean]

Anyone else having problems on Xbox? Game is starting with long “initializing” and when finished the winter event is gone?!
Can’t join any lobby

[sour ore]

the ghosts in phasmo are not scary really, they just make you wary. since they try to kill you

[ruby lintel]

Yep! Pc and ps5 here, same issues

[stray burrow]

Yeah same here with ps5

[barren ocean]

Okay my 3 friends on steam can join each other

[prisma laurel]

Mines seems to be fine

[odd vale]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/758746972898459648/1301645435857010759/ghost-flickers.gif

That’s the only one I got

[sturdy lark]

I'm fine on PC but my friend on PS5 is having issues and the winter event has disappeared for them

[trim wasp]

One of my friends is on steam and 2 on Xbox same as me, I’m not able to join them.

They still have the winter event, I don’t have it anymore.

[barren ocean]

Ah ty, seems like ps5/xbox-probs

[ruby lintel]

My friend on pc cant join us (ps5) and the other way around. All settings are the same

[scenic pebble]

Probably console client, however the ‘population’ counter is wiped out on mine too

[iron prism]

hey so i have 100% yet i do not have the foil badge? is this a common issue i tried looking it up but couldn't find much on it

[vast crown]

restart the game and play another event map investigation

[scenic pebble]

Play another game, that’s how I got mine

[iron prism]

✅

[frank canopy]

soo.. version/event mismatch between pc and consoles breaks crossplay rn?

[stray burrow]

Seems like it

[trim wasp]

Even between same platform yes

[iron prism]

nada diddnt work

[frank canopy]

well boo

[ancient garden]

what just happend why dont i have my badges

[vast crown]

it will eventually show up

[cosmic echo]

my friend and me playing phasmo right now, my friend have no winter event anymore but I have... Seem there's some server problems ?

[iron prism]

oki

[barren ocean]

Yeah in Xbox lobby after starting the event is gone, so only solo play atm

[sturdy lark]

Maybe, although my friend had the event then it disappeared, appeared again after restarting their console, and then disappeared again sooooo EDIT: on PS5

[prisma laurel]

[vast crown]

an update must have gone out to xbox servers or something maybe unintentional

idk i loaded in fine on pc just now

[prisma laurel]

Me too

[stray burrow]

The last game was kind of buggy bc the ghost was waaaay more faster than it should be, so we all left and now we can‘t join each other

[cosmic echo]

we tried both some reloads, end steam, restart the game, but nothing changed... we tried to play an event map with my lobby, but my friend didn't get the event points, thats weird

[vast crown]

did you mess up the krampus bag? it makes the ghost faster if you fail it

[stray burrow]

No we didn‘t mess it and we just played on pro

[stray burrow]

And also we got a phantom but it was waaaaay more faster than usual that was rlly weird

[vast crown]

line of sight or somehow got on a custom with 150 ghost speed

[stray burrow]

Nothing of that actually, we checked it

[vast crown]

last options are lag or someone in the lobby was cheating

[onyx pagoda]

Ok, I'm confused on something. Me and a buddy got: ghost orbs, spirit box, freezing temp. That's an Onryo, so we mark it as one and left since we had 3 pieces of evidence. The mission end screen pops up, ghost type was...Not a Onryo. It was a mimic. How?

[tame eagle]

games acting up

[agile pivot]

my role badges :(

[vast crown]

the ghost orbs were fake, mimic has fake orbs, you missed spirit box

[agile pivot]

they have been stolen from me

[prisma laurel]

[subtle pike]

Report to @violet nova

Unless its already a known issue

[stray burrow]

No one cheated we hate that so we don‘t play with cheaters and it was our usual group
We think it was kinda just the beginning of our problem that we now can‘t join each other anymore

[onyx pagoda]

I said we got spriti box. Also, how were the orbs fake? The hell nonsense is that?

[vast crown]

i meant UV

[vast crown]

mimic has 4 evidence, where ghost orbs are the last evidence but don't actually count as evidence

hence "fake evidence"

[onyx pagoda]

I didn't think to check UV. Orbs and spirit box negate mimic and they were our first two pieces. It also was doing nothing to leave UV as it wasn't opening doors.

[atomic leaf]

the game is currently dying it seems so I would assume it will come back after the issues are gone

[vast crown]

mimic's evidence are spirit box, uv, and freezing with fake orbs so they don't negate mimic

[onyx pagoda]

Like orbless raiju or hantu?

Or, pardon me, orbs behaving incorrectly

[agile pivot]

thank you I miss my badges

[atomic leaf]

it’s just server issues it has nothing to do with something like that

[vast crown]

no, server disconnections and loss of badges and stuff is what he's talking about

[zinc horizon]

why is my legacy 6070 level gone along with all my badges....

[onyx pagoda]

Well that's a current issue I've seen happening.

[vast crown]

Welp looks like it's time to backup my save file lol

[atomic leaf]

I haven’t had the issue

[atomic leaf]

server issues rn

[zinc horizon]

thank god... i thought something happened to my account...

i have so much rare stuff 😭

[onyx pagoda]

Yes it does because the game says "Ghost Orbs". Not "Fake Orbs". So, when you get orbs and spirit box first, it elimantes UV as a possible evidence type.

[vast crown]

no it doesn't

[hybrid kestrel]

thoughts on the soonTM tanglewood change?

[hybrid kestrel]

no

[onyx pagoda]

Lmfao, yes. Every ghost that has UV gets greyed out when you select those two.

[clever quiver]

Am I the only one that can't access my special badges?

[odd vale]

Doing what I can to check in.

[hybrid kestrel]

mimic's orbs aren't an evidence, they will even show if you play in no evidence and have a mimic

[vast crown]

yes, everything EXCEPT MIMIC even though it's greyed out

[wanton fiber]

are you seriously claiming that prestige level 20 people are wrong and you are right?

[orchid yoke]

Mine's broken too (on PC) I just restarted Steam to check for an update but nothing

[atomic leaf]

thanks Mezzo!

[vast crown]

when mimics give off orbs the game does not consider them to be one of the evidences, that's the whole point of the mimic

[zinc horizon]

thank you. please take your time. we appreciate you doing this

[barren moon]

[vast crown]

when you get any combination of orbs, spirit box, uv, and freezing you MUST check for the rest of those 4 to make sure it's not a mimic messing with you

[hybrid kestrel]

i mean.. some people just come to ask a question (for help) and when they get an answer they say it's wrong

[onyx pagoda]

Again, it said ghost orbs. Who the hell is going to know they're fake. No way to really know and when you get 3 evidence, it's 3 evidence. Why would I waste my time looking for a "4th evidence" like UV when I've already gotten ghost orbs, temp, sb? That's an onryo, not a mimic.

[barren moon]

someone hasnt ever gotta a mimic before

[hybrid kestrel]

just happens sometimes

[proper aspen]

why did all my special badges get removed??

[cloud holly]

It’s a bug rn

[atomic leaf]

I was honestly hoping they would finally give us a spirit box, uv, and orb ghost since it’s a dead giveaway for mimic

[cloud holly]

I have every badge and there gone there servers must be down

[vast crown]

what said ghost orbs?

[odd vale]

Badge and Connections Issues
Please be patient as we are trying to navigate the issue. Will update more when we can.

For the moment try restarting your game and checking for badges from single player mode.

[onyx pagoda]

The camera? It literally popped up saying ghost orbs.

[hybrid kestrel]

wouldn't this just be better to post in annc?

[vast crown]

well yeah it's not just gonna give away that they're fake ghost orbs

[odd vale]

I can’t post there

[spiral mauve]

Whenever I see ghost orbs, I always try to rule out the mimic

[hybrid kestrel]

it's not gonna give away that it's a mimic

[worthy mountain]

[vast crown]

you're supposed to investigate lol

[hybrid kestrel]

damn, unfortunate

[odd vale]

Announcements are usually only for events, partnership, etc

[onyx pagoda]

So it's just another shit ghost that needs a rework.

[barren moon]

THISSSS

[atomic leaf]

no

[vast crown]

no it's just a ghost you don't fully understand

[hybrid kestrel]

this

[vast crown]

there's nothing wrong with that just read into it

[wanton fiber]

Just because you did a bad job investigating doesnt mean a ghost needs a rework

[hybrid kestrel]

you should adapt to the game not that it should adapt to you

[nocturne dagger]

Where is all of my badges? They are all gone???

[vast crown]

mimic's evidence is spirit box, uv, and freezing, and on top of those three will ALWAYS have fake ghost orbs in the ghost room

[hybrid kestrel]

what the mod just said

(badges bugged)

[barren moon]

its a bug rn

[nocturne dagger]

Ohh

[spiral mauve]

Had a funny one last week, we had the evidence for an onryo but did the onryo test and that failed and getting uv was a pain so got salt and got foot steps XD

[subtle pike]

You guys should get your own channel so you can update on problems so then its easier than having to keep coming into here or general chat and looking through all the messages

[onyx pagoda]

No, it's a shit ghost because I got 3 pieces of evidence. The gane point is 3 evidence, not 4. What absolute moron goes, "Wait, maybe there's 4 evidence because of that one ghost". I'm sorry, mimic just causes a waste of time.

[tardy nacelle]

Why would it need a rework?

[vast crown]

is this your first time hearing about mimic orbs?

[barren moon]

this was my group last night

[tardy nacelle]

frog, sry

[prisma creek]

so this role/badge being removed is a known bug atm?

[vast crown]

wiwiwi

[onyx pagoda]

They should have a different evidence group or have no orbs at all. Simple.

[odd vale]

Badge and Connections Issues
Please be patient as we are trying to navigate the issue. Will update more when we can.

For the moment try restarting your game and checking for badges from single player mode.

[tardy nacelle]

It causes you to actually think what you're doing in the game

[vast crown]

it's not evidence, it's "fake" orbs, it's supposed to throw you off

[barren moon]

yea

[onyx pagoda]

There's enough thinking to get 3 evidence.

[frosty halo]

This is for the Winter Event? I did it and now everything is 0

[tardy nacelle]

You sure about that? XD

[atomic leaf]

it tells you in the journal that the mimic has fake orbs

[stray burrow]

The orb on the mimic isn‘t actually an evidence it’s like an characteristic u know

[rain harness]

That is why it is called a MIMIC. Why complain about something that has been in the game for a super long time and you refuse to take the time acknowledge that a Mimic falls into that evidence category. ORBS IS NOT EVIDENCE FOR A MIMIC. Just saying.

[wanton fiber]

boy, you're gonna love nightmare difficulty

[nocturne dagger]

Audio bugged too, cant hear my friends

[balmy leaf]

wtf is happening
