phasmo-chat

[odd vale]

Have the lighter out and press F on it. I believe. Or you can pick it up with an empty hand and right click

[cedar wasp]

thanks, F is my place key. does that sound right?

[naive plinth]

Do the random metal hospital beds in the hallways block ghost sight on sunny meadows?

[olive wedge]

can i show you guys something? idk if its normal

[wise oyster]

#screenshots #videos

[olive wedge]

i posted it there

just wanted to know if thats normal

[odd vale]

Yes. F is place. When you have the lighter in your hand and place the cursor over the light on the floor and press F I believe I lights it. (It’s been a couple months since I played)

[olive wedge]

bit of background, the ghost event started and i got a distorted audio

[zinc coyote]

Visual bug I'm guessing

[balmy talon]

Anyone know why my brother's trophy upgrade area is completely greyed out and not improving? He's got everything else for the event. My trophy upgrades are still done from last year it seems.

[surreal briar]

what do i do w the bunny nests why are they here

[molten sable]

if im on 0 sanity and the ghost speed is very fast and constant can i guess moroi

cant be hantu it turned the generator on

[rapid ingot]

Shine DOTS on them and on some of them you'll see spirit bunnies, when they react to the DOTS and disappear you get extra event points

[weak forge]

did you start on 0 sanity

or has it gotten faster as you've gone down

[rapid ingot]

Yea could be a Thaye if you started at 0

[molten sable]

i started on 0 yes

[weak forge]

there's a lot to test for

[molten sable]

but i have been here for some time it didnt get much slower

[weak forge]

no evidence?

[molten sable]

yea 0ev

not mimic

not shade cuz it sang

[rapid ingot]

Probably Moroi then

[molten sable]

im guessing moroi

it..

[weak forge]

hmm okay well thaye if it's early, moroi is strong option, obambo is an option you would need to do a couple more hunts. if you never smudged or salted it maybe gallu

[molten sable]

it was a thaye.

mf did not age fast

[violet ruin]

Were you in the ghost room for a certain amount of time

[rapid ingot]

It's once a minute and only if you're in the same room iirc

[molten sable]

oh. i have to be in the ghost room

[violet ruin]

Yes.

[molten sable]

fuck.

i dont like thayes anymore

[violet ruin]

In order to age a thaye you must be in the ghost room

[weak forge]

im pretty sure thayes will be significantly faster than morois on 0 sanity no?

[rapid ingot]

Yea you have to be near the ghost to age it

[weak forge]

at least when they are young

[rapid ingot]

Yea they're 0.5 m/s faster

2.25 vs 2.75

[weak forge]

gotcha

[violet ruin]

Morois can go up to 3.71 but thats with constant line of sight and 0 sanity

[rapid ingot]

Yup Thayes don't have LoS speedup

[molten sable]

goddammitttt

[violet ruin]

Thaye will always be fasyer than moroi untill moroi goes up to its 3.71 or if you fully age a thaye

[rapid ingot]

Once a Thaye ages 3 times it's slower than Moroi

[violet ruin]

That too

[rapid ingot]

But just barely slower

2.25 vs 2.225

[molten sable]

grinding for the head gear t2 seems worth it ngl

[rapid ingot]

Yea frees up the flashlight slot

[molten sable]

exactly

[rapid ingot]

Really useful

[molten sable]

then i can bring cam smudge and a cruci

or a thermo instead of cruci

[violet ruin]

No you hide a lot when you do no evidence when it’s hunting

[molten sable]

cant i just turn it off

[violet ruin]

Ok so you turn off hiding

[weak forge]

most of the time you want to get a couple loops in before hiding on no evidence

[molten sable]

the head gear not hiding

[weak forge]

edgfield is my personl favorite map for 10x multiplier

[violet ruin]

Oh i asked if you hide a lot😭

[weak forge]

prob everyone elses standard too

[molten sable]

oh i do

[violet ruin]

Try not to hide a lot because smudges can help with curtain ghost seeing if the blinks are different seeing if it has los so try not to just hide

[rapid ingot]

Yea couple loops first just to get any kind of hint from the appearance

Also instantly reveals Hantus

[violet ruin]

Always make sure you have smudges tho and a lighter

[molten sable]

i always bring one

when i finish searching for orbs i bring two

hm... this might me a jinn but im not sure

[rapid ingot]

Had a hunt where I didn't have a smudge and the ghost followed me all the way up to the closet and yanked the door open but bc I was hiding behind the other closet door it didn't see me, first time that's happened to me

[molten sable]

thought it was a yokai at first ngl

jinn gets faster when you are 3m away right

[rapid ingot]

When the power is on yea it has instant fast speed until 3 m away

[molten sable]

oh yea..?

hm is it based on the distance you are from it or the distance it gotta go to get to you

[rapid ingot]

No it's just constant 2.5 m/s until 3 m away

But they still have LoS speedup I think, so when it gets close it'll keep the speed it would've been if it was a normal speed ghost

[obsidian isle]

how cold does nells diner freezer usually get if the ghost isnt in it

[rapid ingot]

Deogens are the ones that are faster when they're farther away based on distance

[molten sable]

its definetely not a deo

it still hasnt turned off the generatoir

wtf am i hearing???

[obsidian isle]

put an emf at the generator

[molten sable]

why did i hear "cursed hunt ending"

[obsidian isle]

if its a jinn itll put emf 2 at the generator/breaker without turning it off

[rapid ingot]

Yea and your sanity should drop by 25%

Ig it's supposed to like take power from the breaker to drain your sanity or smth idk

[molten sable]

wait can i hear emf with paramic

[lime token]

No

[molten sable]

ah rip

it was a jinn goddd

thank god

almost 6k

[zinc coyote]

[obsidian isle]

they should make cursed object replicas as merch

[molten sable]

phantoms vanish when you record them or when you just point the camera at them?

record right

[obsidian isle]

record

[molten sable]

k just making sure

[obsidian isle]

you can still get recordings of them they just wont be in the actual recordings

[molten sable]

might be yokai

[molten sable]

i see

[zinc coyote]

They have

[obsidian isle]

in the past?

[zinc coyote]

Yea

[obsidian isle]

why did they stop?

[zinc coyote]

It was a limited time thing. They did the voodoo doll and music box

[obsidian isle]

aw

id love if they did them again id literally buy everything if i could

[zinc coyote]

Agreed, probably expensive to manufacture though

[obsidian isle]

ohh yes i see…

[naive plinth]

Never would have thought the hardest part of apoc 1 is just getting a damn ghost photo

show me yourself vile spirits!

[kindred dust]

Some guy said "trust me follow" he put it on apoc 3 on sunny meadows

[obsidian isle]

oh wtf u can apparently still buy the music box one

i googled it and it popped ip

[molten sable]

i might have another obambo again

[rapid ingot]

Wait recordings or photos

[obsidian isle]

both

[zinc coyote]

Might be a reseller?

[rapid ingot]

Really? I remember them still showing up on videos

Interesting

[obsidian isle]

im not sure i googled it and it poppped up, themusicbox.store

[rapid ingot]

It does say "officially approved by Kinetic Games"

[zinc coyote]

Oh, don't think thats the official one. But if it has the song "adrift" then it works lol

[molten sable]

ayyy i got another obambo!

5k lets go

[frigid palm]

what ghost cant do mist form

[stark dove]

oni

[mossy mason]

That is the official seller/manufacturer

[obsidian isle]

OH..

[frigid palm]

W thx

[vestal ferry]

Pretty sure thats it. They make them per order rather than having a set amount of stock

[vestal ferry]

Its where i bought it back in the day

[obsidian isle]

ohh like making them TO order ok that makes sense

[vestal ferry]

Yes yes.

I have one. Its fantastic. I love it

[molten sable]

oh onis cant do mist form?

interesting

[whole egret]

They prefer full form

[molten sable]

i see

[fickle isle]

Do the maps with the event in them change?

[zinc coyote]

Ah, wasnt sure. Thanks

[whole egret]

Yes

[wise oyster]

yes, the lineup changes every day at daily reset, in a little under 3 hours from now

[fickle isle]

At 5pm PST? It's 2:15pm rn for me

[wise oyster]

PDT now, but yes 😉

and the weekly reset is at that time on Sundays

[echo musk]

everyone!

[vestal ferry]

Correct.

[zinc coyote]

[molten sable]

helo

[tough bridge]

Is grafton still broken? Cursed hollow version appears to be fine

[final light]

Hi fells. Is it true that the Europe server is unplayable right now? I try to host, Client Timeout, my friend hosts, the same...

[fossil relic]

Is there any point to playing the event if you already have the trophy? Is any other reward offered?

[obsidian isle]

new badges + cosmetics

[fossil relic]

Okay, thanks

[scenic lichen]

anyone have any tips for apoc 3? hoping to get it without prestiging again since the double xp will get me to level 100 soon

[obsidian isle]

prestiging is optional tho, just dont prestige until u get it

[molten sable]

a t2 firelight doesnt count as 3 right
its just for looks?

[barren warren]

yo

[scenic lichen]

yeah but i dont want to waste the double xp

[barren warren]

just for looks

[molten sable]

ah

to do apocalypses does it have to be the preset or can i do a custom one

[scenic lichen]

just has to be 15x

[obsidian isle]

you can do custom as long as it meats the specific multiplier

[molten sable]

ahh great

[obsidian isle]

most people put the preset to apoc 3 and then change the hunt duration to medium, keeps it at 15x

[molten sable]

interesting

[stark dove]

It counts for 3 blowout percentages

Only counts as one blowout though

[scenic lichen]

any tips for the actual gold apoc challenge itself?

[molten sable]

just asking if a onryo blows out one it counts as 3

[zinc coyote]

Learn speeds, learn where to hide

[stark dove]

Nope only 1

[molten sable]

alr

[quick agate]

Is anyone having issues with monkey paw and voice recognition not wanting to do “I wish for life”? My mics picking me up and I have at least 80% sanity when trying but it’s not taking the wish

[whole egret]

My friend was also having trouble with that. I assumed he had his settings wrong

[obsidian isle]

i had to switch to the click to speech option cause of this tbh

[zinc coyote]

When isnt voice having issues lol

[quick agate]

😅 okay just wanted to make sure it’s not my game! Thanks

[mossy mason]

#switchbacktotheoldsystem
it might have been a bit lower quality, but at least it was reliable to not get borked every other game

[zinc coyote]

Agreed

Ill take reliability over quality

[sharp olive]

Can twins change states mid hunt?

[mossy mason]

No

Obambo can though

[dry root]

I cant wish for knowledge with the monkey paw 😔 it just flat out never works

[mossy mason]

Use text voice recognition
It doesn’t fix the core problem, but you’ll get what you want

[dry root]

I appreciate the recommendation

[desert trench]

Does anyone know If i need ps plus to play phasmo solo or not

[odd vale]

You don’t need it for solo

[obsidian isle]

probably not

ps plus is for online

[mossy mason]

Yeah
Only downside to text is that it slightly breaks immersion, and I don’t know how Yokai ability interacts with Text

[desert trench]

Okie dokie ty

[summer creek]

so what other ghosts can be really slow besides deogen

[desert trench]

Rev when you're not in sight

[odd vale]

Thaye when it’s aged and rev when it hasn’t detected you.

[summer creek]

nah we were in sight

maybe thaye

damn nm can't be thaye. what about any of the new ghosts

[mossy mason]

Warm Hantu, calm Obambo

[summer creek]

ah, just read about obambo, gonna go with that

damn it was a hantu

[rigid mountain]

Man mic audio just stopped working entirely for my group after the update :/

[tawdry lion]

I can't ever go without my precious trello

[obsidian isle]

wtf a trello??

[modern echo]

trello is a cheap work tracking tool. Phasmo uses it to show planned work so you can see where the game is headed.

bro can someone tell me why a deo never found me in the edgefield living room?? it made me believe it was a mimic because it caught up to me during the first hunt, but didn't even find me during the second hunt ?? 😭😭 like stick to your rules my guy

[mellow swan]

hey, quick question! is ridgeview broken? cause ive played 5 matches now and my team could not find the bone anywhere

[odd vale]

It is possible it is spawning in an unreachable place.

[rancid ivy]

Been told that there's some pathing or spawning issues on the holiday maps.

[wise oyster]

#lfg-eu

[rustic saddle]

im playing maps but my personal goal is still at 0% ??

[violet ruin]

Are you playing the event maps or just maps in general

[rustic saddle]

event map. got all the spirits, got a perfect game

still at 0%

[violet ruin]

Mama can help you

Mama mezzo to the rescue

[quartz stump]

@glossy sierra did we play tg?

[rustic saddle]

i cant send a photo in here, but the personal goals area of the event poster are also all faded out

[odd vale]

Try exiting the game and closing Steam via task manager. Then open the game and try again. It's a really annoying thing to be hnappeinng and we are navigating what we can to help

I believe ya

[violet ruin]

I was gonna say this but i had a stroke trying to type words

[vast narwhal]

What time does the map rotation change for events?

[odd vale]

For the most part I have shortcuts built in for things I say a lot

[violet ruin]

Ah

[violet ruin]

For me its 8pm est idk were you are

[vast narwhal]

Tyty. That means it’s like 2am ish for me

Oh, nvm, it’s in 8 minutes right?

[violet ruin]

Yes

[vast narwhal]

[odd vale]

Yay!

[keen star]

[midnight igloo]

Does a thye always starts the game at a young age?

[violet ruin]

Yes

[midnight igloo]

[midnight igloo]

This thye started at 70 (challenge mode this week)

[violet ruin]

The age on the board doesnt actually mean its old…

[midnight igloo]

How does that work? its literally its age...........

[violet ruin]

If you stay in the ghost room. and ask board again the age will change thayes are the only one that can change age.

70 does not mean the thaye has started off old thats not how that works..

[midnight igloo]

yeah I know! hence the question does a thye start at a young age why else would you have age on the board?

[violet ruin]

Again just bc it says 70 does not indicate that the thaye is old yet.

[midnight igloo]

I get what your saying, but it logically makes no sense xD

[solemn stream]

hey there

i see we're having disputes about thaye's aging mechanic

[midnight igloo]

A thye! as you say if starts at a young age, there for should start by age at a lower age like under 10, then as it ages, this is what age means! after all then it gets older so the number goes up

[violet ruin]

They are saying that they got 70 as a ghost age in the start for a thaye and im telling them that doesnt not indicate the thaye started off old.

[solemn stream]

thaye does indeed start "young" but that doesn't mean it has to be young in age when you ask the board

the age on the board is random

[midnight igloo]

I get it! its justr very confusing adn why i asked if the thye sarts off young (as in age) on the board

[violet ruin]

And i told you thayes always start young.

[solemn stream]

the thaye is the only ghost whose age can increase and the only ghost whose age can be over 90 on the board

[midnight igloo]

Well not in age, as the board will tell u whatever age

[prime elk]

<:btThaye:984854225408368791> Thaye

The Thaye's ever-aging ability makes it a threat to all Hunters alike, aging rapidly when in the presence of players.

Strengths

Upon first entering a location, Thayes are often very threatful, aggressive, and agile.

Weaknesses

The Thaye's disability to rapidly age in the presence of the living makes it less of a threat to Hunters over time.

Have a question? Ask! The Phasmophobia wikipage is an unreliable source.

[violet ruin]

You asked me if it starts off young you didnt specify

[midnight igloo]

Well i mean the board has age on the board....so its kinda common sense right?

[violet ruin]

Im not arguing your question was answered happy hunting

[midnight igloo]

and thanks for that! its something i didnt realise how it worked after 5yrs.....thought age was age, on a board that has age but i guess not

[violet ruin]

All i said was that it doesnt indicate the thaye starting off old the age on the board is in age but its not indicating that the actual thaye is starting off old

[midnight igloo]

Yeah I get that now, its all good, just a very oldy way to do it and confusing

[rapid ingot]

I interpreted the age as what age the person was when they died, not the age of the ghost itself, but the Thaye's age number increases over time too so idk (and it's a whole year every minute too lmao)

[violet ruin]

It is confusing but its also helpful bc thayes can only change age on the board

[onyx pawn]

[violet ruin]

I have not heard anyone having problems with a hantu so i have no clue

[midnight igloo]

Yeah indeed and this is what i thought if a thye starts of young every time that that would also indicate on the board as young starting age, i get it! but just odd!

[violet ruin]

Get a better computer lower your resolution idk

[violet ruin]

Im sorry if i confused even more thats really the only way to explain how it works

[odd vale]

There are sooo many reasons for a crash 😄

[violet ruin]

I didnt want to name all of em tho😫

[midnight igloo]

no no your fine! all good, least now I understand thats how it works, i might not agree on how it works logically but i get it lol

[odd vale]

Oh I know - I mean, there's really too many to list

[violet ruin]

Yeah like you could also verify your game files or just have a really sucky computer or like your resolution could just be way to high so many reasons to many to count

[violet ruin]

Well just glad i was able to tell you how it works

[midnight igloo]

Yes thank you! as i wasa so confused when i asked the baord its age, said 70, i crossed out thye right away, later on, turns out to be a thye xD wtf haha

[violet ruin]

If you ever get confused to i would definitely recommend checking out the cheat sheet if you have not done so it breaks down everything

[midnight igloo]

Cheers!

[amber merlin]

just did my 1st nightmare run and got chased into extinction

[inland briar]

come someone explain what makes this event special? are the ghost more aggressive? what are these easter baskets? what extra things do we need to do?

[amber merlin]

its special bcuz 2x multiplier = mo9ney

[violet ruin]

The bunnies can also effect the ghost speed

[inland briar]

where do i learn this info? is there a place to read this?

[gaunt temple]

hey guys, quick question. im doing a no evidence run rn, is jo a female name? idk if i check off dayan/banshee or not

[solemn stream]

[solemn stream]

[amber merlin]

no

[errant birch]

ghost has to see you

[solemn stream]

or were you ever in line of sight of the ghost

[odd vale]

The ghost has to see you, yep

[amber merlin]

nah i walked into house and the daft thuing started hunting so i shit myself and ran to a hiding spot

[errant birch]

lmfaoooo

[solemn stream]

the ghost has to see you at some point

[amber merlin]

[errant birch]

"i shit myself and ran to a hiding spot" is the line of a century

Thank you

[balmy obsidian]

is there something specific i have to do to unlock the id card and badge for the event because i don't have them

[odd vale]

Play a contract, earn some points, leave using the truck. Then exit the game entirely (not using alt+F4 if on PC or just shutting off console if on console) and restart. Try that.

[balmy obsidian]

alright ill try it and let you know if it works

[violet ruin]

Hi

[amber merlin]

i just asked a mare if it was a pensionerr and it said ''leave''

[cursive forge]

Hey hey

[cursive forge]

Yeah leave, go on

[balmy obsidian]

didn't get nothing (took me a while to get the evidence and i failed sadly)

[odd vale]

Try exiting the game, closing Steam with the Task Manager, and starting the game again. If you're PC, that is

Then load in again and check

[inland briar]

not yet

[balmy obsidian]

ill try it and yes im on pc

okay that worked thank you

[hollow breach]

Shining the dots on the event rabbit can start a hunt?

[serene badge]

Uuum

Why isn’t some of my stuff updating?

My tanglewood badge is still at 10/50 and i’ve been playing it at least 30 times

My trophie upgrade isn’t increasing either

My badge one is thou

[inland briar]

i got 10.50% on my personal event bar. why didnt the bottom bar move?

[wise oyster]

yes, rare golden bunnies start a hunt, and jumpscare ones drain your sanity 10%, so that could push you into hunt range (or further into it)

[wise oyster]

they're separate. Finish the first to work on the 2nd

[inland briar]

thx

[serene badge]

I have to re complete the badge one before continuing my 2nd upgrade for the trophie?

[wise oyster]

it's not a badge, it's an IOU for cosmetics

[serene badge]

Tf does that mean

[amber merlin]

youll get cosmetics when update releases

[serene badge]

Thats it?

[amber merlin]

welli mean it lets you make your guy look drippy so its cool

[wise oyster]

uh, yeah? not bad for 200 event points (i'm hoping)

[serene badge]

But still my trophie meter was going up until a few games ago

[echo musk]

-for others to see you in-

[wise oyster]

well that I can't speak to

but the way these event have always worked is that you have to complete the first personal goal before you start working on the second

[serene badge]

AYO MY FIRST GOLD BUNNY

[paper slate]

[serene badge]

[odd vale]

Did you finish all the personal ones yet?

[austere inlet]

My Cosmetic is at 99% do I have to finish it first?

The personal goals are first, then trophy starts.

Ok yall question to settle a debate, im playing phasmo with my boyfriend and he swears up and down that it can still be mimic on nightmare with 2 ev (EMF 5 and UV) and is saying we should check for orbs. he says mimic can have any evidence but i know that isnt true rly ._.

have a question. Was dirty water removed as photo evidence?

[cold garden]

well it might be irl cuz my country is getting bombed but my friend heard it

[tacit breach]

no

[odd vale]

Media is found here @wild night https://discord.com/channels/435431947963990026/1387026690114584586

[violet ruin]

Oh ok

[cold garden]

wdym oh okay

[wild night]

no i get that. And definetly looked However on Nell's Diner everytime i took that photo it wouldn't show as anything and would have to delete it

[cold garden]

IT WAS IN GAME

[odd vale]

Hm

[wild night]

but it was also during the event duration when it was there maybe that had something to do with it?

[odd vale]

I don’t think so. But you can report it to #bug-reports if you’d like

[dusky river]

Hey guys im not asking like today or anything but in the future would anyone watch and help me do apocalypse 3 (share screen and figure out the ghost)

[wild night]

yea let me go and get a screenshot as well

[dusky river]

Anyone

[twin mason]

Is the create a custom difficulty achievement on steam bugged cuz I’ve done it multiple times and it never pops the achievement ?

[zinc coyote]

Try saving it

[twin mason]

alr did but hold on ill try again

[sonic basin]

i just thought of a fun idea for a new ghost type.

[twin mason]

idk man I hit apply I even tried selecting the contract before I made it

[zinc coyote]

Did you press the save icon though

[twin mason]

is the save icon the one next to the pencil

[zinc coyote]

Its the floppy disc icon if I remember correctly

[twin mason]

then yes I did that I hit apply and the difficulty is applied but no achievement pops

[zinc coyote]

Weird, dunno

[twin mason]

are u sure its not js bugged

[spice rover]

I think you have to be in mp to earn achievements

[twin mason]

really?

so should I go into multi and try it\

[solemn stream]

press the floppy disk icon next to the pen at the top right

[spice rover]

I mean recently I got killed by a demon under a minute but never got the achievement. I think it's bc I played on sp. Plus I heard some people talk about getting it in mp

[twin mason]

yeaI did tho I touched every setting I named it legit did everything

[twin mason]

idk then but when I got killed by a demon in single in 30 seconds it popped for me

I clicked the floppy disk then I hit yes and then I hit apply and it dont pop for me

I even went into a game got the ghost type right and left alive and no achievement

[wild night]

so i went back and looked it was the janitors closet on the nells diner map. With the firefly thing in the sink. I overrode the dirty water photo

[odd vale]

Please don’t bring drama into chat. Thank you 👍

[mossy mason]

Are you telling me that I gotta lug this comically large suitcase full of drama back to where I found it? (def not @bright badge’s closet)

[fluid portal]

hey on the event achievements, what's the greyed out "upgradable event trophy" portion? it's stuck at 0% i'm not sure what it is

[odd vale]

Have you collected the personal goals yet?

[fluid portal]

yeah but just finished last game, haven't played another. is it only once you finish those?

still greyed out though

[odd vale]

Once the personal goal bar is complete the trophy bar will start.

[fluid portal]

great. and just to clarify... what helps the % go up? bunnies? just identifying the ghost on event maps? related to survival?

[odd vale]

Find the nests that make sort of a murmuring sound on the maps that have a nest sticker. If you find one, shine dots on it. That gives you event points. Optional objectives and getting the ghost right on those maps also give you points. You do need to live, I believe.

[fluid portal]

thanks!

[sonic basin]

well that would have been nice to know, that is the ghost rabit disapperios even with friendly on you can still be killed

[sullen flare]

prestige 19 yall, im soo close

no evi going crazy

[sonic basin]

NVM i know why i kept gitting hunted i had my No items lost on not my Friendly lol

[slow saddle]

Are crucifixes not working for anyone else?

[south wraith]

Working fine for me. What's the scenario you are experiencing?

[wanton eagle]

they arent preventing the hunts, not burning at all

cards arent working for us either

[zinc coyote]

Theyre working for me

[wanton eagle]

odd for us then

i literally placed it on the ground and it started to slide LMAO

[zinc coyote]

Thats a bug

[wanton eagle]

yeah and it wont burn at all\

the ghosts just beating us up

[zinc coyote]

Its spawning outside the range then

[wanton eagle]

no its like not working at all

[slow saddle]

It was spawning on top of the crucifix

[zinc coyote]

Do you have a clip?

[brittle wind]

Does twins go normal speed on first hunt before fast or slow

[golden marlin]

how come updates are so lackluster with $300m in earnings from steam alone

[tight parcel]

Do you have to reach a certain points threshold to get the gold ID badge? I haven’t gotten it yet but I’m only at 287 points

[south violet]

Guys when will Phasmophobia leave the early access? And when it does, will the 20 dollar price tag increase?

[amber linden]

this year some time no idea on the price

[amber linden]

?

[south violet]

And will the price increase significantly? I was thinking about buying the game in this may

Oh

[amber linden]

i imagine it will but thats purely a guess with no evidence

[south violet]

I see

[vestal ferry]

They need to stretch out the money over years and years in order to pay for the entire team and fund their next game, salaries, building, equipment, insurance, ect. It costs a lot to maintain a studio. And responsible to not over stretch.

[amber linden]

also game dev is a lot of work

[south violet]

The game is worth playing right in 2026?

[amber linden]

imo definitely

[vestal ferry]

That as well. Plus they been working hard to update to new unity version, player models, ghost models, horror 2.0, and remaking maps so they arent unity premade assets.

[golden marlin]

300m can last a 100 person team a lifetime? and the team is like 8 people?

[south violet]

Like you never find lack of players? Low match making time etc? Since i am getting it soon, i hope you dont mind me asking question

[golden marlin]

are you being sarcastic?

[amber linden]

the team is not 8 people

[golden marlin]

ur right its 11-50 on linkedin

that doesnt change my point

[amber linden]

your point doesn't really make sense though because having that much money doesn't mean they can instantly change the game with a massive update lol

[golden marlin]

no but they can definitely fix bugs and add features at a much better pace than they do

[amber linden]

there isn't a matchmaking system but yeah theres never really a lack of players

[south violet]

It is a lot if its 50 considering indie game company

[south violet]

Good to hear that

[amber linden]

nah, the speed makes sense, considering everything they're working on

[golden marlin]

like what?

a second board game?

[amber linden]

engine upgrade (way more work than you'd expect) multiple updates, reworks, etc

[south violet]

@amber linden do you have chemistry?

[amber linden]

you can check the trello board, they have a lot in progress

[amber linden]

?

[south violet]

Just checked your diagram and it doesnt make sense

[golden marlin]

lol engine upgrade? thats not a ton of work, its a decent amount but nothing ridiculous

and they release like 1 new map a year + a rework

maybe a few ghosts or one feature if we are lucky

the pace is inexcusable given their resources

they made better pace as a one man team

[vestal ferry]

You really uverestimate how long 300m can last. Half goes into taxes right away. Then taxes paid for salaries (yes employers have to pay a tax that's seperate from the employees tax), licensing fees, building cost, utility cost, equipment cost, ect.
There is a reason studios can go bankrupt even with 20 billion in revenue. Shits expensive.
They also went from dk as the lone dev, to 5, to 12, to now over 30 people.

[south violet]

You enjoy the game though right? Or it feels as if the game has deteriorated?

[golden marlin]

you realize 300m is a lowball estimate and thats from steam sales ALONE right? that doesnt include console, merch, brand deals, etc etc

[golden marlin]

i havent enjoyed the game in a while, theyve been absolutely fumbling it and the community outside of this echo chamber agrees lmao

[amber linden]

I really dont think you understand how much Unity 6 changed and how much it probably broke stuff, but again thats along with other updates like theyre changing the lighting system, working on reworks etc

[vestal ferry]

[golden marlin]

i dont think you understand youre talking to someone who literally does it for their job

[vestal ferry]

Lighting system will come with unity6. Which is a big part im excited for.

[south violet]

I think it will still feel good to play with friends

[golden marlin]

all my friends quit because of the updates/lack thereof lol

[amber linden]

it doesnt sound like you do honestly, engine upgrades for a game like this are not easy lol, i've worked on my smaller games and upgrading engine took weeks lol

[amber linden]

not really an echo chamber dude i barely talk here i just enjoy the game

[vestal ferry]

You really dont seem to understand it then. Its also not a live service game. Its an early access game being actively developed until its fully released. Feature wise, pretty sure we have been done for a long time until horror 2.0.

[golden marlin]

a few weeks for a smaller game is a bit long, a game of the size of phasmophobia shouldn't take more than 2-3 months to upgrade

[amber linden]

well 2-3 months makes sense, i dont think they've been working on it for that long though

so i can agree with that

[golden marlin]

early access game being actively developed

feature complete until horror 2.0

you can't really have both

[amber linden]

also with them being a smaller team, VR and console add a lot of development time too

[vestal ferry]

These do not contradict eachother

[golden marlin]

actually i spoke to dk himself about this a while back and it was specifically designed such that vr has minimal additional development complexity

[amber linden]

oh i see

with unity i can't imagine console adds much more work either tbf, after its ported for the first time anyway

[vestal ferry]

Im not sure when this was, but VR has been reworked twice since it came out in 2020, and i assume more tweaks to come to vr specifically as well.

[golden marlin]

console probably does but that doesn't excuse the snails pace in updates prior + if thats why updates are so slow they fucked something up somewhere

[golden marlin]

reworking it should only have improved upon this tbh

[amber linden]

I dunno, I think an update every 3 months that includes a map or rework (which is basically them rebuilding a map from scratch) or a content update makes perfect sense for a game like this

[vestal ferry]

Well prior to console release. The office they worked in had a fire. It delayed things severly as they had to relocate. Then had to relocate again. It was a huge time cost for that time period that set them back a lot.

[golden marlin]

the general consensus in the community is that these are empty filler updates and don't actually add substantial content

[amber linden]

yeah console developement was a nightmare for them I imagine lol

[valid swan]

Do yall have a multiplayer bug where, even on amateur difficulty, you find all 3 evidence and it's a totally different ghost?

[vestal ferry]

It was. To the point that unity themselves did the port.

[amber linden]

I dont really agree tbh, new maps and reworks are cool, the media overhaul was much needed and added a lot imo

[vestal ferry]

Sounds like mistakes happening more than anything.

[valid swan]

We had 3 games in a row where it was different

[amber linden]

plus with the character overhaul coming soon that will add a lot of life to the game

I know thats not important to everyone but its understandable

[valid swan]

so nobody else is having that problem?

[golden marlin]

we want interesting new mechanics, actual scary aspects, new INTERESTING maps (not reworks), bug fixes (this is a big one), and for (this might get me in trouble) the devs to get their heads out of their asses and allow modding/workshop support

[amber linden]

I agree

[vestal ferry]

Its very easy to make mistakes with evidence. Sometimes i just dont trust friends because of it tbh. Like seeing breath and assuming dots.

[golden marlin]

this is another one nobody asked for, thats the problem with these "updates"

[amber linden]

I think they should have focused on horror 2.0 a long time ago

[valid swan]

does the bunny count as dots?

[amber linden]

I dont agree, the photo system before was really bad and boring

[echo musk]

sees a list of expectations high3r then steve erkils pants with roping people in that aren't a part of it.

[golden marlin]

they promise an update nobody asked for, delay it 5 times, rework a map that people liked, and then tell you that horror 2.0 is coming Soon and if you try to mod it then youre banned

[golden marlin]

"make a game good and fix the bugs" is not high expectations, its the bare minimum

[amber linden]

im not really a part of the community so idk what the consensus was but I was not a fan of the media system before

[vestal ferry]

Mechanic wise, probs wont see anything. Thats kinda honed in.
New maps and reworks have been amazing to me.
I expect most of the bugs are being worked out with the unity6 update rather than focusing on current unity version.

[golden marlin]

the equipment and media changes were the only good changes theyve made since 2021 imo

[amber linden]

I just can't agree

not trying to be an ass or anything

[golden marlin]

actually if im being generous, custom difficulty was good although couldve been done better, a few of the reworks were good

[vestal ferry]

I personally havent played a lot, but i just havent been interested in any game lately which is kinda a me problem. I still enjoy phasmo enough to play the most of all other games though.

[amber linden]

I like the reworks and i understand why they wanna focus on them first

but I also understand not liking them

[echo musk]

since ya pointed me out....I'm not part of the 'everybody' and 'nobody'. also, I enjoy it as is. Yes there's issues. Play around em. i rather like how hard someone works on a game and play it as is, not adding whatever mod someone personally wants to make it more interesting to them/friends. Phasmo meant as is, gladd mods are banned but i digress back to a game with a friend and having fun.

[vestal ferry]

Wanting to remove all unity premade assets is commendable. Really makes it stand out.

[amber linden]

but as soon as theyre done itll just be new maps, just gotta give em time

[echo musk]

ps: want a scary game. play madison or Ill vanishes

[golden marlin]

youre glad mods are banned? how does it affect you at all?

why shouldnt i be allowed to reskin the van to the mystery machine and use scooby doo skins?

[amber linden]

yeah mods being entirely banned is a bit silly

[vestal ferry]

Also. Phasmo isnt a horror first kinda game. Never really has been. Its an investigation game with horror aspects. Which is why its so replayable. we are pro hunters after all.

[amber linden]

and by a bit silly I mean pretty dumb

[golden marlin]

i can list games all day that prove phas is just a cash cow that the devs lost passion for years ago

[amber linden]

ok thats just a kinda out of line comment

just because it doesn't go in the direction YOU want doesn't mean its a cash cow

[vestal ferry]

And yes sadly they had to decide to ban mods. It wasnt something they easily decided on either.

[golden marlin]

well considering it has 4 tags on steam and 2 of them are "horror" id argue it is a horror first game but sure

[amber linden]

which is why they're doing a horror rework (but yes, i agree it should have been reworked a long time ago lol)

and also thats out of their control because steam tags are community driven

[vestal ferry]

Steam tags are community made. Its why dark souls was labeled as a dating sim for like 9 months

[golden marlin]

look at it objectively. instead of focusing on new interesting features, workshop support, things that could genuinely improve the game, they focus on releasing to new platforms (double dipping), merch, board games, easy updates (reworks), and a movie.

[amber linden]

you do realize that all of that extra stuff... doesn't slow down the rest... like they have completely different people working on that stuff lol

[drifting dust]

Besides new platforms and “easy” updates all the rest is outsourced, they aren’t screen printing their own shirts or designing their board game?

[amber linden]

and of course they'd try to maximize monetary intake, thats how every company works?

[vestal ferry]

You do know that the board game isnt being developed by them, neither is the movie. And they hired people specifically for merch and such that do not do game development. So even without them doing merch, it wouldnt progress development faster

Like. Different parts of the entire team do different things

[prime elk]

Modifications and cheats can have an adverse effect on the game, yourself, and other players. They are capable of corrupting your save file progress, and cause all sorts of issues which we are not required to assist you with in such a case.

Any actions involving modifying the game in any way violates Phasmophobia's EULA, and if detected or reported, will lead to a Multiplayer ban.

The server and game does not support the use of modified lobbies or cheats, and will take action against anyone advertising or attempting to access them!

[echo musk]

^

[golden marlin]

all theyre doing is shooting themselves in the foot. theyre running out of excuses for the slow pace

[echo musk]

so you keep your scooby doo over there *points with a naturally grown long nail *

[vestal ferry]

And since this isnt a subscription based game with micro transactions, they do need to keep cashflow coming in somehow

[golden marlin]

you stil didnt answer my question, why do you care if someone mods?

[zinc coyote]

Why does it matter? if its not allowed its not allowed

[golden marlin]

why are you glad its not allowed?

[amber linden]

Like look dude, I understand they aren't really doing things perfectly and I understand your problems and agree to an extent, but its not some conspiracy that they lost passion or whatever, they just have different opinions on what direction to take it

[vestal ferry]

"Why cant i mod apex legends" type questions

[echo musk]

I did answer. You didn't read. 🙂 good day. I'm more interested in playing with Grimm shhh we hunting wabits

[golden marlin]

apex: competitive
phas: party game

[zinc coyote]

Did I saw I was glad? I dont care if theyre not allowed, I dont wanna mod the game lol

[golden marlin]

my bad theres 2 people with pink corny names

[amber linden]

I still dont think its very slow, an update with a new map or rework every quarter is a pretty high output, I know you think reworks are "easy" but they do them from scratch pretty much aside from like layouts

[amber linden]

hard to have a discussion when you're just being callous for no reason

[vestal ferry]

But regardless of anything. This is the studios first game. They are growing as a company and making mistakes and learning from them. We are watching in real time as a single dev builds a company by making a solid game that people really enjoy. To the point other games tried to copy phasmo and failed doing so.

[zinc coyote]

Its more violet than pink tbh

[whole egret]

Finally hit my first Prestige

[zinc coyote]

Nice

[vestal ferry]

Like dk legit thought no one would play his game.

He had no idea it would become this. Hes just some dude who was making a passion project.

[amber linden]

yeah thats another big factor, this isn't a very established team yet, most people theyve hired in the past like 2 years or so so stuff is going to be naturally slower

[vestal ferry]

And i think this whole thing is something special.

[golden marlin]

go to any update post and read the comments on steam lol

[vestal ferry]

Steam comments are just cancer

[amber linden]

steam comments are negative on literally every game

[golden marlin]

ive never seen a game with such a critical comment section

[whole egret]

Steam is notorious for being overly negative

[echo musk]

lol k. so I'll leave this alone cause ignorance is where the statement comes from, however, poke again about names and boosters for this server I personally end up making you look bad. So please go back to your game complaints and not make it personal. Thanks.

[amber linden]

thats not a good metric in the slightest

[zinc coyote]

People complain about everything and anything

[vestal ferry]

I see nevative comments everywhere on elden ring. Fucking elden ring. Like no one on steam is happy.

[golden marlin]

im just comparing phas to no mans sky rn and its night and day

[whole egret]

If we're talking about the Easter event, it definitely has its bugs, but I am enjoying it for what it is. Same can be said for Phasmo entirely

[amber linden]

I think the problem with steam comments is they arent seen as an actual discussion forum, just a place for the average user to go dump their complaints about every little thing they find wrong with a game

[golden marlin]

schedule 1, positivity, sea of thieves, negative (deserved), satisfactory, positive, terraria, positive

phasmophobia has long comments from veteran players pleading with the developers to focus on what matters

theyre not just little 12 year olds spamming slurs or being toxic

also recent reviews have gone from overwhelmingly positive to very positive

[zinc coyote]

I mean 16k players on steam alone right now, I wouldnt conider that bad

[amber linden]

and again, im not saying its perfect, it definitely isnt, but its not some nightmare disgusting atrocity like youre making it out to be, they just care about very different things than a lot of the players do (not a good thing, but not unsolvable)

[vestal ferry]

That team was established. They made games prior to no mans sky. This isnt really a comparison either since it took no mans sky over 7 years to gain any trust back from the community. And they went radio silent for over a year after game was FULLY RELEASED, they developed the game for 8 years before the release.
Phasmo was being developed for 4 years by dk in his spare time before 2020, its been in early release since then. He didnt even have a team going until almost a year after 2020 release. They only recently got to 30+ hires.
The 2 are not comparable in slightest

[golden marlin]

theyre similar team sizes so id argue theres plenty to compare

[amber linden]

that just ignores everything they just said what

[whole egret]

What exactly are you wanting the devs to fix?

[golden marlin]

what about their development history? thats irrelevant

[vestal ferry]

They are comparible NOW but not the duration. Give phasmo 15 years like no mans sky had. Then compare.

[amber linden]

thats not irrelevant

a team thats new is very different from a team thats well established

[golden marlin]

ive worked on brand new assembled teams on projects and we worked just fine within like a week

we are talking about a 5 year span since growth started here

and its the fact that they are actively developing updates that still dont show improvement

[amber linden]

more like a 2 year span since they actually grew the team significantly

[vestal ferry]

You are forgetting dk was an ameture programming new to game development. And a lot of the phasmo team is new or only worked 1 or 2 projects before. They arent established game devs

[hidden thorn]

yo when is phas coming out for my samsung fridge

[golden marlin]

recycling the same events still? customization update (that nobody asked for) delayed for like the 3rd time?

[vestal ferry]

They made the announcement that events will be the same year to year, last january. In 2025

[hidden thorn]

i love phas so much. i wanna see it on my fridge every morning. the new map is so gorgeous, i cant wait for them to add more

[amber linden]

events yeah agreed, customization update? again just because its a direction you dont like doesnt mean its bad or that people didn't ask for itlmao

[golden marlin]

what? he was a professional in the field working for a vr company before phas

[vestal ferry]

Also customization of player models is what the community literally voted for.
Also community voted to have all maps remade, instead of new maps. But devs are like "fuck it. We ball" and are doing both instead. Like there was so much community voting back then and the devs mapped out the entire plan to full release due to community feedback

[golden marlin]

lol what "vote"? there was no "vote"

[drifting dust]

There was

Years ago

[vestal ferry]

It was here in the discord.

[golden marlin]

LOL

[vestal ferry]

I think the open beta was still around then too cause they didnt have a dedicated beta testing team yet either.

[drifting dust]

Back when people played beta just for fun

[golden marlin]

so the notoriously echo chambery discord server "voted" on it years ago

[vestal ferry]

My first post here was reporting a bug in the beta

[drifting dust]

It was a lot less echo chamber back then

[topaz magnet]

uh i just had a ghost hunt at 90% sanity?????

[amber linden]

have you touched this discord server before there's so many people that are very critical of the game

[golden marlin]

the discord server that would buy the devs farts in a jar if they sold it with the phas logo as merch?

[zinc coyote]

That can happen

[topaz magnet]

anyone know what ghost this is lmao

[amber linden]

Demon or mimic

[topaz magnet]

ive never seen that before

[vestal ferry]

Ive been critical of the game. I voice my opinions. Opinions matter sure. But ignoring just actual facts of how things work isnt it.

[whole egret]

And be grateful for that

[vestal ferry]

Demon, mimic, onryo. Or cursed object used

[amber linden]

I forgot onryo

[whole egret]

I got my first golden bunny tonight

[topaz magnet]

im playing alone so it couldnt have been a cursed object 😭

[whole egret]

It insta-killed my friend because it was super, super fast

[vestal ferry]

Or youre confusing personal sanity to average.

[vestal ferry]

Ah.

Those are just the options i know of though.

[topaz magnet]

im at 95% sanity

[vestal ferry]

Good luck out there

[topaz magnet]

ive never seen anything like that before lmao

i was like wth

[vestal ferry]

Personally im not excited to have animations on items, and doors and such. :/ i like that everything currently is instant. Feels nice and i hope they dont mess that part up

[amber linden]

I like it personally, the game rn has a very uhh prototypey feel to it in that department that i've never been a fan of

[crystal meadow]

It feels like Phasmophobia is trying too hard to be a AAA game sometimes.

[lime token]

As long as the animations don't interfere with gameplay, I'll like it

[amber linden]

yeah same

[vestal ferry]

I prefer games that respond to my inputs instantly rather than a weird delay

[tight parcel]

Do you have to reach a certain points threshold to get the gold ID badge? I haven’t gotten it yet but I’m only at 287 points

[topaz magnet]

honestly with how ghost hunts are, having to wait for a door animation will cause so many more unfair deaths

[amber linden]

From what i heard CJ (the lead artist) say about it, it shouldn't affect gameplay much if it all

[vestal ferry]

If they do satisfactory route where there is an animation but it doesnt impact the instantaneous effect of pressing button, then cool

[whole egret]

Shouldn't is the magic word

[amber linden]

I think thats what they're doing, at least for stuff that matters anyway, like for example smudge sticks

[vestal ferry]

CJ historically has been wrong about things befoee

[whole egret]

I didn't want to say it out loud

[crystal meadow]

I'm very concerned for animations tbh but yeah

[vestal ferry]

Love him. Hes great. But yeah he doesnt know what the coding side is doing

[west sail]

Good evening humans! Before i go asking a ton of dumb questions, is there a chat for modding and that kind of thing? im looking to add more responses to the phrase listing

[golden marlin]

whaaat another featureless "feature" nobody asked for

das crazy

[vestal ferry]

Modding is bannable

[crystal meadow]

Btw if you don't like the game you don't have to play it

[amber linden]

for stuff that makes sense, but this is not one of those situations I think

[whole egret]

Animations can be finicky and what may work on one system may not do well on another. I hope he can make it work though 🙏

[west sail]

😮 REALLY? but i play it single player o.o how does that work

[golden marlin]

dont ask here the devs sniff their own ball sweat and wont let people mod their precious little baby

[vestal ferry]

-mods look below

this is bullshit btw its because mods dont align with their "vision"

[west sail]

T_T Well thats unfortunate. I just wanted to make it so it starts a cursed hunt when you say 6 7 or mention the ghosts mum

[tight parcel]

Uhhh mods in this game majorly adversely affect other players but go off I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

[vestal ferry]

Actually mang many many people have corrupted their save files. I should know. I seen the tickets

[zinc coyote]

Maybe to you

[golden marlin]

it also fucks up minecraft worlds but i dont see mojang banning mods

[rare saffron]

is kenneth boy or girl name

[golden marlin]

girl

[whole egret]

Those who mod usually don't know how to fix their games if something were to go wrong

[zinc coyote]

Boy

[amber linden]

as if minecraft is remotely compareable LOL

[barren sluice]

you can express your own opinions but you're going to need to do so in a more civil manner

[west sail]

Oh well, thanks anyway 🙂 Maybe one day they'l expose the phrase list so we can add stuff.

[golden marlin]

it also fucks up lethal company save files and they dont ban mods

[zinc coyote]

Different game

[golden marlin]

and demonologist mods but

you get the point

[amber linden]

I'm not saying i disagree but the comparisons just dont make sense

[lime token]

Imagine dying during a hunt because your character decides to do finger tricks with the t3 smudge

[vestal ferry]

All these games you listed dont have a "one save file per account' system that is connected to a server

[amber linden]

I think you definitely shouldn't be banned for trying to mod singleplayer, that part doesn't make sense at all

[random steeple]

Does anyone play phasmaphobia on their steam deck? Im having a couple issues, my cursor isnt working and some graphical issues too

[west sail]

eh we get into the territory of "its theirs, they can do what they want. We dont have to like it"

[zinc coyote]

But it does make sense

[golden marlin]

the save file has absolutely no reason to be "connected to a server" considering its a text file in my game files

[whole egret]

Most people don't stick to singleplayer though

[golden marlin]

except i fuckin paid for it 6 years ago

[amber linden]

In what way

[brittle pewter]

hey guys how come my trophy isn't progressing a ton like it did before?

[crystal meadow]

It's only been out for 5 btw

[vestal ferry]

You paid a digital license to use the product. You do not actually own it.

[crystal meadow]

^

[west sail]

Hasnt stopped microsoft, adobe or apple from reaming me. a game dev is no exception

[golden marlin]

its 2026 and i bought it in 2020, i rounded a few months off boohoo

[zinc coyote]

The EULA

[golden marlin]

that doesnt make it right?

[whole egret]

Thst also applies to anything digital, unfortunately

[tight parcel]

Dude chill you’re being so hostile 💀

[golden marlin]

hows that boot taste?

[vestal ferry]

Less event points per round maybe?

[amber linden]

thats not really a good argument tbh

[zinc coyote]

Pretty good

[amber linden]

that doesn't answer my question

[crystal meadow]

I wish I had as much free time as you do to just hate on stuff for no reason in a discord server 😭

[vestal ferry]

Its exactly the reason you dont actually own it though.

[zinc coyote]

But it does. "Why cant I mod the game?" Because the devs said so

[golden marlin]

arguing on the "correctness" of it doesnt affect whether its agreeable

[whole egret]

I could care less if they allowed modding, but I am also respecting their decision not to

[west sail]

Oh for sure, its bullshit. but its the current state of things. Its just not worth getting upset about because it cant be fixed

[golden marlin]

except it CAN be fixed if people would stop licking the fucking boot and not tolerate it

[vestal ferry]

It communicates to server for leader board reasons and trophy unlock reasons.

[amber linden]

I mean yeah

[zinc coyote]

Would it be cool? Probably. But I dont care if they add support or not. Never cared for modding phas

[random steeple]

Anyone know how to fix my cursor not appearing on steam deck?

[crystal meadow]

Why do you play the game if you hate it so much lol

[west sail]

you're thinking local. Its an industry and licensing thing. thats big bucks and lobbying. Consumers arent even a consideration with that much money flying about

[dry root]

It aint us. Its literally the games rules lmfao, dont buy a game if you arent ready to follow its rules. Not hard to understand

[amber linden]

Brotha thats not what I was asking, no kidding the devs dont want you to mod singleplayer, but there's not really a good argument for why

[odd vale]

Go to the game tab in the video settings. If there’s cursor opacity, side, etc, adjust those.

[random steeple]

Tried that

[golden marlin]

it wasnt in the rules when i bought the game

[zinc coyote]

What do you gain from it? Risking a ban for what?

[dry root]

Yes it was.

[west sail]

I seem to have kicked an already contentious hornets nest. im sorry. I shouldnt have asked about mods XD

[odd vale]

Then you can head to the support page. Sorry. That’s all I know.

I love how this is a phas chat and I came here to ask a question but it just got buried by this random 🪛 whining about not being able to mod 😴

[golden marlin]

not in 2020 lol modding was kinda big back in the day

[vestal ferry]

Im sorry. Whats the question?

[amber linden]

Huh? I never said I was doing it? I think you're misunderstanding me.
I'm asking why you get banned for modding singleplayer, it doesn't really make sense

[west sail]

😄 i cant help, but il talk so much shit youd think i was helping! Whats up!

[random steeple]

Okay

[crystal meadow]

You could have requested a steam refund once the rule was changed btw

[dry root]

That is not the argument you wanna go for. Cause the EULA still stands, you CANNOT modify the games files no matter what you think

[golden marlin]

ive been holding out hoping itll get better

[vestal ferry]

Yes and part of the reason they had to disalow it was because of how it negatively effected a majority of players.

[tight parcel]

I’m having issues getting the event badges. I’ve played enough games to get to 287 points and closed out and reopened the game but haven’t received them. I’m on PlayStation

[west sail]

:) Lets see whos more helpful. You with true facts or my bullshit

[zinc coyote]

I did not say you were modding lmao. And i answered why, its the rules

[random steeple]

Just play the game normally

[golden marlin]

nobody cared about people using nexus mods to change their skins and shit

[crystal meadow]

Well, it's clearly not.. I don't think the game is for you then lol

[amber linden]

that does not answer my question, clearly

[vestal ferry]

Try the options in pinned post in here.

[golden marlin]

its boring as shit normally

[random steeple]

Then play something else

[zinc coyote]

Its not the answer you want. You asked why, I told you why

[dry root]

Man. How about you just either play the game normally or go play a game that allows modding

Crying really aint the route to be taking. They arent gonna change their stance on it

[golden marlin]

k i guess im not allowed to voice my disapproval of the game i paid money for

[tight parcel]

The only thing I found was ‘To earn the community badge you must play a contract, earn points, leave via the truck, exit game via main menu, reopen the game. Once you're back in the game, check your inventory. The badges should be there’ but is that not just playing a normal game and then exiting the game and reopening the game?

[west sail]

@barren sluiceis it normally like this, or is today particularly... energetic

[amber linden]

Correct, its not the answer I want, its an answer to an entirely different question

[whole egret]

Banning mods makes people upset. Not banning them would make some happy until they corrupt their saves (and potentially other's)

[random steeple]

Nope your not

[vestal ferry]

The amount of people complaining back then of people forcibly joining lobbies, and spawning thousands of ghosts in lobby to crash the game was actually insane back then. Like it happened way to often.
We still have people every day complaining about cheaters in game. So yeah. I see why the devs banned modding as a whole.

[golden marlin]

imagine if people could hold opinions without basing them on what the developers feel about it

[dry root]

You arent accepting that its literally against the rules.

[west sail]

oh my god i forgot people used to do that!

[dry root]

Man imagine crying about wanting to mod a game with an EULA that says you cant then going "Muh game I paid for"

[barren sluice]

since it doesn't seem like you can't voice your opinion in a civil manner, we're just going to have to move on from the topic. modding the game violates the EULA and shouldn't be discussed, end topic

[zinc coyote]

[crystal meadow]

Dude, it's not about holding different opinions. I literally feel similar to how you do. It's about how you voice them

[barren sluice]

move on to something else

[random steeple]

Dont get me started

[west sail]

Whats your favorite ghost. Mines the little whicker kid who kicks my ass every time because he's so small and i cant see him approaching!

[zinc coyote]

Revenant

[dry root]

You mean model or type?

[vestal ferry]

-fix You need to earn some event points. So try that. Just find one bunny for example.
The upgraded foil version will be earned once you fill the progress bar for personal goal for it. They fill in order so gotta fill it multiple times. If it doesnt work you can contact tech support via portal

[barren sluice]

seems they described a model

[tight parcel]

I have 287 points

[west sail]

Model. i still dont know types after 5 years of playing

[dry root]

Yeah I just wanna be sure ;-;

[tight parcel]

And all of my bars are full

[barren sluice]

just don't even try, move on please

[barren sluice]

no worries lol

[dry root]

Ah okay, I like the lady in the brown dress. Shes usually a deogen for me

[crystal meadow]

how have you been fable?

[vestal ferry]

Then contact tech support. Im not sure what to do to fix it tbh. sorry

[tight parcel]

It’s okay thank you for trying ❤️

[random steeple]

Does anyone know why my cursor isnt appearing? In the settings its set to 100 however there's no "line"

[west sail]

ooooh a solid bet. I keep getting this old dude with a hook hand, and he's always a Yurie or something like that. and i never successfully identify him because i talk so much shit, i mess up the evidence gathering

[golden marlin]

@barren sluice how else should people approach voicing disapproval with the rules? if any attempt at building momentum gets silenced? genuine question

[west sail]

brother please... you know where this will lead

[dry root]

Shit talking any ghost type goes hard tho so I cant blame you 😔

[vestal ferry]

Go into a contract if you can. Try changing the settings while in a contract. Like move to a different number and hit apply. Also make sure to move the size option as well.

[random steeple]

I will try thanks, do you mind if I send a photo of the settings to show you?

[whole egret]

What's funny is that the model for the event is basically a baby but its uv footprints are huge like an adult's

[west sail]

half the time, it works every time! We were playing in VR and it kept standing behind people, so we accused it of being thirsty and our sanity musth ave been low, as it started a hunt and murdered us all. Its a fun game

[vestal ferry]

You can always send in #screenshots

[south violet]

was in a game and this dude kept trying to get us to change our mind on what the ghost is and ha dot pep talk my tm into thinking for himself and not to let his mind be tempted and we both got it right and he got it wrong

[west sail]

You discribed a hobbit 😄

whens phas mobile coming out? i already have it on steam and my consoles

[tight parcel]

If anyone knows, I was also wondering if anyone had further details on the 04/16 twitch drop. It seems it’s different from the other ones in the aspect that you have to tune in during a small timeframe instead of having a week and a week for each drop?

[zinc coyote]

Hopefully never

[amber linden]

I dont think phas mobile is possible lol

[random steeple]

Ok I sent it there

[whole egret]

I couldn't imagine playing Phas on mobile

[lime token]

There is a way to play phas on mobile actually

[hidden thorn]

why? id think my phones good enough to run it

[dry root]

Have you got the "Close to bussin" spirit box line? Them ghosts be thirsty lol (Idk what its actually saying and I dont wanna know)

[lime token]

Through Geforce Now

[zinc coyote]

I'll pass on crappy mobile games

[hidden thorn]

ive got a phone meant for gaming

[hidden thorn]

crappy??

[zinc coyote]

Yes

[barren sluice]

it all revolves around how you word your criticisms; be careful and considerate on how you word your opinions, consider the perspective of people who may disagree with you seeing your message. discussing modding the game in general is advised against via the rules, so if you want, you can DM @violet nova if you have any future questions or concerns on the topic!

[barren sluice]

i'm ok, you

[west sail]

....WHAT? Is that a new line or something? or is it just close enough to some others that it triggers stuff. i dont know what lines tehre are T_T

[hidden thorn]

wdym its crappy??

[crystal meadow]

been good hopefully that ok is leaning more on the good side

[golden marlin]

well what if im genuinely autistic and wasnt trying to be "harmful" at any point

[tight parcel]

99% of the time the mobile version of games like these aren’t very good (by no fault of the devs necessarily)

[amber linden]

phas isn't very well optimized in general, so it wouldnt work very well on mobile

[golden marlin]

thats the best i can do

[dry root]

I dont think its new. I've gotten it a few times before

Had to go "show yourself" like Rayray in Haunted House to get it tho

[vestal ferry]

You can use nvidia geforce to play on phone technically

[west sail]

it would be an OK mobile game if it was an ARG, and you scanned your house to find the stuff, and the ghost lived in your house. otherwise i dont see how phasmo would do well as a mobile game

[barren sluice]

i understand, but refer to last portion of message about DMing modmail instead of publicly discussing if you're interested 👍

[zinc coyote]

Look how bad pubg got after it came to mobile

Ill pass, no thanks

[barren sluice]

going to delete this purely out of an effort to not start any more issues than needed

[lime token]

Geforce now is actually the only reason I have the maxed out bloodmoon trophy

[west sail]

I mean... that move was kinda linear. It was never great 😛

[hidden thorn]

its all about the community and the game. if they optimize the game well enough it should run on mobile

[zinc coyote]

Ill pass

[zinc coyote]

Eh, I liked it at first

[amber linden]

all good, my bad, just really hate when people try to pull that

[west sail]

T_T i was an early adopter of it, and so my memories are tainted by jank and render distance abuse.

[tight parcel]

I agree

[zinc coyote]

Youre not wrong there lol

[barren sluice]

glad to hear! and yeah, you could say so, just busy/overwhelmed with work and all but not the worst

[barren sluice]

no worries, i understand lol

[amber linden]

🙏

[tight parcel]

@barren sluice do you happen to know anything about the 04/16 twitch drop?

[west sail]

Ok folks, its been fun 🙂 Im out. Before i go, i have a friend who plays in VR, and i need new ways to fuck with him. I got him with the TV remove from the next room ( he screamed, it was worth it), but i need more ideas

[lime token]

That upcoming twitch drop badge might be my favourite ngl

[dry root]

Toss an activated music box at his feet before you both walk out

[tight parcel]

Yeah it’s really nice and I wanna make sure I get it but I’m confused on how to so I wanted clarification

[crystal meadow]

glad to hear that things are going good then. I feel ya, I'm a full time college student now and I've been really busy and overwhelmed with that + other irl factors. I hope things continue to go good for you dude

[amber linden]

Basically you'll just have to watch a twitch stream for (usually) 2-4 hours and connect your accounts

[lime token]

#game-announcements should have all the info you need about it

[west sail]

ooooooh thats a solid bet. I dumped the Ouiji board in the middle of the room, hoping he would pick it up out of curiousity, but no dice. I think cursed objects are the way to go

[tight parcel]

It seems like it works differently from other drops though that’s why I’m confused

[dry root]

Yup. Or use monkey paw, wait until hes in the ghost room and wish to trap the ghost

[west sail]

..... im off to the wiki to see how to weaponize cursed objects. Can i jam a door with normal props? make him think he's getting haunted?

[light pilot]

Whats its name?

[dry root]

Got my friends with the monkey paw and music box before 😔 lets just say its a race to the cursed objects now

[tight parcel]

Like the other drops you get a week and a week. This drop it’s making it seem like you HAVE to tune in at that specific time on that specific day to get it?

[amber linden]

ohhh i see, i think it'll be a specific stream in that case

[barren sluice]

any information would be in KG blogposts or pinned messages here in the discord, otherwise i'm somewhat sucky but as per your last question i believe it is a specific stream/time you need to tune into for it

could be wrong though, but that is to my understanding of the announcement

[tight parcel]

Gotcha thank you I appreciate it it definitely seems to operate differently than the other drops have so I wasn’t sure

[barren sluice]

yeah that had been my interpretation of it as well, more information will come out closer to the stream though i'm sure

[tight parcel]

Great thanks 🙂

[lime token]

I'm hopeful that we'll perhaps get a release date for the character customization update during that stream

[barren sluice]

best of luck with everything to you too!

[west sail]

I just looked at the trello for stuff and saw that. I hope i can wear just the most disgusting combinations of clothes

Lime green shoes, fluro pink pants, a white tank top and a bucket hat. Let me be the physical embodiment of repellant

[lime token]

I'm making the most ridiculous character you can think of

[dry root]

You're actually gonna make me barf lmfao

[light pilot]

I want to play on higher difficulties (apoc 1 etc) Im not scared of the game itself but mostly losing my equipment. What do i do

[west sail]

if i enter the house and the ghost isnt taking psychic damage from my choice of attire, im not trying hard enough.

[dry root]

Lol you're a try hard at this pissing a ghost off thing huh

[west sail]

Its less about that, and more... How can i be scared, if im the one that makes them hide. its only scary if im the prey

and im a BIG sook when it comes to horror games, so i need any advantage i can get

and whats less scary than going into a haunted house with big jersey shore energy!

Can someone explain the summoing circle to me? Why would i ever do it as a singleplayer. Isnt that just death?

o.o wow it went from frantic to dead SO fast...

[light pilot]

Ez photo, video, sound, some objectives and usually death

[light pilot]

MADDIXXXXXXX

[dry root]

My fault trying to help someone 💕

[west sail]

ok so yeah, not something to do solo. Im tryin to figure out what i can and cant do singleplayer so i dont just waste runs

[light pilot]

Dont: use summoning circle

[west sail]

😛 its fine, it as jsut jarring after that.... very vocal exchange about ideas before.

[dry root]

Haha fair enough. Im bout to play some stuff though so I may not be too vocal

[west sail]

Ouiji board and stuff? The wiki gives descriptions and stuff for the items, but i just dont get it. The brain is smooooooth on this model of human

[light pilot]

Ouija board is mostly safe
Monkey paw is dangerous
Voodoo doll is not that helpfull but mostly safe
Tarot cards are very iffy
Summoning circle is a big no no
Music box is not that helpfull but it is kinda dangerous

[west sail]

Thats a shame, iv gotten the music box a few times since i came back, and its gotten my clothes folded while im still in them repeatedly. iv yet to see the tarot cards. Does hte difficulty impact what items appear? I play on crybaby mode because i dont handle being scared well 😛

[celest lynx]

Hello! With the Cursed Hollow event, would anyone know why the "Upgradable Event Trophy" bar is grayed out? I have completed the Cosmetics goal already but I am stuck at 0.00% for the trophy. Would appreciate any advice or insight.

[random steeple]

Anyone know why parts of my game the walls and stuff are pitch black?

[light pilot]

Nope its fully randomised. I would not recommend using music box (unless you need media) or tarot cards

[light pilot]

You have to play

[light pilot]

Rendering or brightness issue. Whats ur brightness?

[random steeple]

Max

[light pilot]

Most likely rendering issue

[west sail]

🙁 ok, thats unfortunate. I was looking forward to going through the tarot deck like grog with the deck of many things while i hid in a closet

[random steeple]

How do I fix that XD

[celest lynx]

I have been, but nothing has happened whatsoever. What do I have to do to start being able to complete the goal

[light pilot]

You can ofc. But for serious/ perfect games i find them useless

[dry root]

Set an unused t3 crucifix in the middle of it when going to summon. Easy photo/video

[light pilot]

What difficulty/map?

[light pilot]

Im only at T2 cruci rn 🫩

[celest lynx]

Tanglewood and Nell's dinner at professional level

[dry root]

In a lobby currently? Back out and check it again or restart game just to see if it changes.

[light pilot]

Make sure ur on a map that has the event icon

[celest lynx]

I have been playing for a couple days and nothing changed

[west sail]

I should figure out how to use those too. I run in, t1 thermal and find the room. Camera, dots, book, hide and pray it does what i need it to do before it finds me and gives me an unwanted shiatsu massage

[random steeple]

So uhhhh. My graphics are black

[west sail]

the crucifix sounds handy

[light pilot]

Thats as far as i can help 😭

[celest lynx]

I have gotten the points, I get about 19 per run and it shows at the contract review

[light pilot]

Then idk

Restart ur game a few times and hope for the best

[west sail]

had to re-read that a few times o.o

[zinc coyote]

[celest lynx]

I was thinking it could be because I don't have the default Cursed Hollow trophy but I don't know how to get that

[light pilot]

Mb 💀

[light pilot]

I also dont have it but mine is at 20%

[west sail]

XD aww you fixed it.

ok thas me sorted 🙂 ty for the help everyone. Ima go play the last caretaker and see if i can drop my heartrate back to normal levels. spooky ass game gets me every time

[celest lynx]

I guess mine is bugging out then, lets hope time fixes it 🤞

[dusty shore]

Yo Phasmo Chat
Can I ask what your guys favorite cursed object is and why?

[zinc coyote]

Probably music box

[topaz pulsar]

Cards

Pretend I posted the “Lets go gambling” meme

Anyone know how many points it take to unlock the cosmetics goal btw? I’ve gotten 15 total and am at 1.5%, but I thought it was 200 total to get them

[sharp olive]

how much points i get per bunny?

[zinc coyote]

2

[sharp olive]

damn how do people get 20k points on event board if you barely get any

[regal minnow]

anybody coming playing?

[celest lynx]

About 2 per bunny but it changes based on difficulty

[sharp olive]

what is it if its no evidence

[celest lynx]

I am afraid I don't really know

You could check by finding one and then leaving and check how many you got

[sharp olive]

gotcha thank you

[celest lynx]

I got this from a guide on steam

"Difficulty Multiplier
Event Points are affected by your difficulty multiplier. For example, correctly identifying the ghost on Amateur difficulty with a x4.00 multiplier will grant 4 Event Points.

The maximum possible total per contract is 56 Event Points.

Note: A x1.00 difficulty multiplier or higher is required to earn Event Points. (No cheesing it.)"

[pastel zenith]

hey so ive went 5 runs trying to fiond bone on ridgeview and i cant find it, i hopped on custom to check ouiji board bone finding method and even though i searched every crevice in said room, i still could not find it. i need help, is this a bug or am i just stupid

[brittle pewter]

Don't use them much sadly but if i had to choose, mirror

it's so simple yet so useful

[brittle pewter]

I'm a bit confused, i got a 4.80 multiplier on custom, but my friend and i only get like.. 23 per perfect investigation. Do i need to increase the difficulty even further or?

[dusty shore]

Oo nice!

[celest lynx]

I think the multiplier only works in points from the bunnies and doesn’t have a massive impact on total points.

[brittle pewter]

Ahh okay. So the reason why i was getting only 3% on my trophy upgrade was cause i wasnt getting enough bunnies?

[celest lynx]

On a normal run on a 3x I get about 19 points

[celest lynx]

Bunnies help but guessing the correct ghost gives 10 points anyways

[sharp olive]

wait does the 2x event count towards the easter points?

[brittle pewter]

Gotcha
How do points translate to trophy percentage anyhow?

[celest lynx]

No, that’s only money and experience

[brittle pewter]

Cause my friend and i have been grinding the event quite a bit but we're still stuck at level 2 of the trophy lol

[sand ruin]

Hops on phas

Doesnt grind for trophy, plays casual

[celest lynx]

It scales off of your trophy level

[sand ruin]

Hops off

[celest lynx]

Level 1 trophy is a 1 point = 1%
