phasmo-chat

[chilly ember]

So is anyone else just as disgusted with the preview of tomorrow's update as I am?

[south haven]

im certainly apprehensive

[vast flicker]

they earned over 200 million. and youtube is free

[ember elbow]

These are examples of "I'm upset" but not saying specifically why and how to address it

Thankfully we already gave intel

[strange flint]

I mean it was the same with the Chronicles update, took a bit to get used to but now I can't imagine not having it. Updates like these need time to exist, I'm sure they'll release a patch fixing most of the annoying bugs like the headlight clipping or items being invisible to other players

[night spoke]

where does this number come from?

[vast flicker]

common knowledge of game sales

[south haven]

the animations feel imcredibly stiff

and the viewmodel lagging is janky af

[night spoke]

great! anyways where did this number come from

[south haven]

guess we’ll see tomorrow tho

[chilly ember]

I just hate hate hate that damn flashlight that is in your view permanently.

[south haven]

the fact it doesnt scale with fov sucks

but thats always been the case

i think the player models and customisation looks really good

[whole egret]

I can't change my hair color to blue 🙁

[ember elbow]

Hopefully they scoot that to the side of your head, the way people actually do it.

[calm ocean]

insym had it blue coloured, you can hardly see it.

[elder hedge]

hi guys do u know the exact time when the update will be released ?

[south haven]

but like who holds their hand like that when looking at a watch

[atomic moss]

Apparently a color wheel is too much to ask for

[zinc coyote]

At some point tomorrow

[vast flicker]

it's public info. i'm not gonna baby you lol I'm pretty sure you know how to use websites to find information

[south haven]

the wrists look so broken it almost makes me uncomfortable

[atomic moss]

The characters don’t have bones

[elder hedge]

yeah but at midnight or ?

[chilly ember]

After watching the livestream and seeing where things are going, I realized it's going to be so bad that I played the game one last time. And that's that. So I've played my favorite map and said my goodbyes.

[elder hedge]

cuz it depend of time slot

[south haven]

not sure why you needed to announce that here but bye anyways👋

[ember elbow]

You think we do now?
bends back

[wheat grove]

Any idea? how many hours left for the new update?

[night spoke]

Net Revenue is 131.17M, the gross was 444.66M. So no they dont have 400M in their pockets

[zinc coyote]

Mid day UK time im guessing

[chilly ember]

Well maybe I still have a tiny sliver of hope that the developers give two fracks, and will stop this before it happens. Probably not.

[vast flicker]

literally on Kinetic Games Linkedin

[bitter hamlet]

Huge agree on this haha. I've fortunately never been on the dev side (i say fortunately in regards to the emotional damage lol), but I've been part of staff for dev teams and man does that cycle happen for basically every update a game/app/service can have.

[south haven]

that i dont mind, its just all the viewmodels and viewmodel animations

[elder hedge]

oki thank u, i hoped it will be released at midnight cuz im too excited sadly i have to sleep ....

[ember elbow]

You're clearly upset, take a break, come back around 1.0

[chilly ember]

I'm censoring my actual real life reaction because the server has rules about explicit language.

[vast flicker]

you point is that I said "millions of dollars" when I should have said "hundreds of millions"? why are you helping my point if you seem so combative toward me?

[zinc coyote]

Pfft, who needs sleep. Have an energy drink

[ember elbow]

Tbh the main issue is that they're trying to both have the character models actually hold stuff but shove it in an oldschool "pov box"

[night spoke]

I apologise if im coming across as combattive but i feel like youve massively misunderstood how a game dev team has to use their funds.

[mossy mason]

My take now that I've watched some of the animations is that the update is fine.
Not great, not terrible, just fine. It needs some work, but I think most of what they have is decent.

[south haven]

yeah definitely seems like the root of the issues, like they gotta make the holding flashlight make sense in pov AND in regards to the model and it just doesnt work

[ember elbow]

Its just a game, they know if they don't fix it that will damage their reputation. Just play other stuff

[tacit rock]

Is there anywhere that has what the ghost footsteps sound like for 150% ghost speed and blood moon boost
I was using this cheat sheet but it doesn't have the option to apply the blood moon boost to it too

[mossy mason]

since you can see your character now, just have the t3 flashlight down at torso/hip level, and the t1/2 at near-head level to where you can see ~2/3 fingers and about half the flashlight

that'd be my solution

[strange flint]

Yeah I can only imagine, I've never personally worked on a game or with a dev team in general but the stress to release a good update must be staggering. There's also the fact that if you delay it, you get hate. And if you release it unfinished you also get hate. Truly no winning for game devs nowadays

[knotty lantern]

They're gonna take feedback,so don't worry

[ember elbow]

There's a phone app, I can look it up rq

PhasmoMate

[bitter hamlet]

This is my take from a first glance, yeah! I think I'm most looking forward to laughing at my friends, since some of it seems low-key hysterical.

Why spend time finding the ghost when you can instead laugh at your friend's character having contorted into a pretzel 😭

[knotty lantern]

In a stream cj said that whith tomorrows update there are gonna be many bug fixes that they weren't today

[tacit rock]

Alright thank you
I'll have to put it to good use later because I just died to a 150% speed blood moon Hantu

[ember elbow]

Tbh I wouldn't mind if they just dropped the pov box, we can just turn our head

[chilly ember]

Yeah and if no one complains then they'll never fix it. That's how it works.

Obviously I'm going to play something else. This abomination is totally unplayable. That's just a No Duh response.

[mossy mason]

it's not unplayable though

[tacit rock]

I have the difficulty so that it's every multiplier except the hiding places, but it was so fast that it zipped through the the closet the second it cracked open

[ember elbow]

That's rough, Blood Hantu is always fun

[south haven]

i would personally prefer keeping our body invisible to us and have our hands just floating but with new animations

[dry root]

Its not unplayable. It really aint that deep lol

[chilly ember]

The Zork trilogy is also technically playable. But good luck finding an audience that will have fun playing it in 2026.

[merry kestrel]

I’m not sure how I feel at the new animations and stuff I’ll just see how it feels to use

[mossy mason]

tf is zork bro

[ember elbow]

That's the thing, you're just complaining, that doesn't help

[tacit rock]

Honestly I should've known it was a Hantu because it's footsteps sounded inconsistent but I've also just never heard 150% speed blood moon footsteps before so I don't know what's supposed to sound normal

[chilly ember]

Exactly. That's my point. It's "playable" but no one is playing it. Because it's not worth playing.

[ember elbow]

Ooh that works too!

[merry kestrel]

Phasmo is worth playing though

[chilly ember]

It was today. I played it. But tomorrow? Why would I play it tomorrow and have less fun when I had more fun today without their janky update?

[merry kestrel]

Your acting like phamso hasn’t always been janky

[ember elbow]

Just wait for the update that fixes it

[chilly ember]

I would rather play the OG release version from years ago than play what's coming tomorrow.

[zinc coyote]

Bugs? In phas? No.... not at all

[mossy mason]

if you don't want to play it, then don't play it
like it or not, it's an early access game and there will be significant changes

[south haven]

ok then do that i dont see why youre complaining to us

[merry kestrel]

And you have only seen early access of the update and don’t forget the game itself is still early access and people complain about every update so like what I see people complain about the media updates still like it’s early access the game is still developing if one update makes you not want to play then don’t play it

[bitter hamlet]

That is unfortunately true; there's almost no winning at all. But, it really is, "just keep going". The end product (or "final result" of an update) is the goal. If the end result eventually comes to a 10/10 even if the updates during are a 2/10, then it's all worth it.

[molten sable]

wait is there a beta or sum?

oh nvm its content preview

[chilly ember]

Yeah there are going to be significant changes. But they could solve a lot of their problems by simply NOT releasing the patch tomorrow.

[zinc coyote]

Delaying will piss people off too. You cant win regardless

[merry kestrel]

And you can solve a lot of problems but just stop complaining and getting nowhere with your point

[mossy mason]

I do believe that with some polish, the animations will be better than what we had before

[remote birch]

[zinc coyote]

Delay it = people will get mad
Release with some bugs = people will get mad

[chilly ember]

in fact, why does this patch exist at all? Why can't they spend their time and effort making new MAPS, which is what people really want? Do you think anyone asked for a freaking flashlight to be shoved in their left eyeball?

[ruby agate]

Is there a way to see the patch notes or can we only see them via streamers?

[merry kestrel]

So they can use their own assets same reason why they update maps

[zinc coyote]

Eyeball lights sound pretty cool imo

[mossy mason]

this was always going to happen
it's been on the roadmap for years
they have a vision, and they're sticking to it

[chilly ember]

Who gives a flip about using their own assets? Just make a game that's fun to play!

[merry kestrel]

So they can make profit and own the rights to their own stuff

[zinc coyote]

Asset flips kinda suck. They want to be original

[merry kestrel]

@chilly ember you literally know nothing about what your talking about

[chilly ember]

They've made millions off of Phasmo as it exists.

[worn lance]

Is the update on +0 timezone

[ruby agate]

Where are the patch notes posted? Anyone….

[merry tangle]

Play run
Get ghost orbs and spirit box
Puts down salt to test for UV
Gets no UV
Selects ghost and goes back to van.
It’s a mimic.

[strange flint]

Exactly. Just keep moving forward, the 1.0 release is the goal and with character customization they're one step closer. I do hope they take the criticism in stride, don't let it negatively impact you or your game

[mossy mason]

quite a big chunk of people are turned off by unity asset flip games, which was arguably what the game was at the start

[merry tangle]

Why does this game hate me?

[merry kestrel]

You clearly know nothing about Phasmo or game development

[analog widget]

-trello

[prime elk]

Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.

[fading wraith]

maybe I'm just used to the New Blood update schedule but updates like this are super cool and we just had the easter event

[ember elbow]

Maps are made by different people than the ones who do characters

[worn lance]

What happenin

[fading wraith]

also. bro. there's plenty of maps

[merry kestrel]

They are in early access they made game using unity assets and they are in the process of reworking maps with their own assets so they own everything for when full release comes out

Your ignorant and blinded by nostalgia or just trying to hate

[mossy mason]

this, we have 14 maps, with a rework and another new one coming this year

[lime token]

I'm lowk very excited for the willow rework

[ember elbow]

I don't think they intend to be incensed, some just aren't great at emotional control

[bitter hamlet]

I was going to say ^

From an artist standpoint (video games included) devs owe themselves the game that they want, too. Can't get lost in making a game just to appease everyone. If they've dreamed of having a feature or had a vision for it, then they should get to have that too 🤷‍♀️ Art isn't just for the viewers, it's for the artists too and people too often forget that

[merry kestrel]

Someone complaining about phamso updates but done zero research before typing

[mossy mason]

i have now watched more and i think i'm going to enjoy the new animations

[merry kestrel]

Same dude

[chilly ember]

That's just lame and you know it. Research? That's all you got?

What freaking research is there to do? Play the game, see the update. Boom. Research done.

[merry kestrel]

But you have zero idea why they are doing these updates and your complaining about them

[fading wraith]

are you aware the platform you play phasmo on also offers other games

[merry kestrel]

That’s not research lmao

[ember elbow]

You don't understand development cycles and why things are happening. Research is good

[merry kestrel]

He stopped typing lmao

Oh there he is

[worn lance]

Is this rage bait

[merry kestrel]

I’m starting to think he might be ngl

[chilly ember]

They're doing this update because they think it will be well received by the players, and it will make the game better. I'm here making it crystal clear that it is NOT received well and will NOT make the game better.

[fading wraith]

I think this guy doesn't know how game platforms work. maybe he thinks he's being forced to play the game or smth

[merry kestrel]

Then just don’t play don’t need to complain online just don’t play it 🤣

I stopped playing a few months ago I didn’t complain or post online lmao

[chilly ember]

Yeah that seems like the standard universal answer when you haven't got something better to say.

[mossy mason]

you're making it very clear that you're not receiving it well and that you won't like it

[merry kestrel]

Are you acc dumb

Where you dropped on your head

[chilly ember]

Oh I see. You don't even play the game, so you're just a troll. Bye.

[merry kestrel]

Just don’t play the game if your just gonna complain about it no one is forcing you to play

[merry kestrel]

Bruh I do lmaoo

[south haven]

dude is probably ragebaiting btw

[merry kestrel]

What

[ember elbow]

You aren't alone, but other's have stated "what" and "why" they want change

[dry root]

Why are you the only one that's acting like the update picked up your newborn and punched it?

[mossy mason]

this has to be ragebait atp

[merry kestrel]

Maybe it did

Who knows

[fading wraith]

I'm here to state I individually put the ants in Nell's Diner one by one so they get the food in the walk in freezer while its unattended. also I fill the whipped cream containers and hand them to the ghosts personally

[dry root]

Thats really rough 😔

[chilly ember]

Because everyone else around here seems to be either a troll, or is willing to roll over and take it.

[bitter hamlet]

Y'all can't be making some of these comments when I'm taking a sip of water 😭

[merry kestrel]

Yeah because your literally stupid

[fading wraith]

oh nooo my steaks are too tender, my lobster too buttery

[merry kestrel]

I’m genuinely thinking you might be academically thick

[worn lance]

Whats wrong with the update its not even out yet 😭

[chilly ember]

Bad analogy. "Oh no, my steak is all dried out and my lobster is oozing and raw. I paid money for this. What's this garbage?"

That's a better analogy.

[mossy mason]

just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't mean they're a troll or a bootlicker
this is why having a healthy conversation with you about this is difficult

[merry kestrel]

THANK YOU

[dry root]

You said you were leaving. You're more than welcome to do that without arguing with everyone on the way out

People are just waiting to see what'll happen with the update; not go feral over something that hasnt even dropped for any of us casual players before going "All of it is gorilla doodoo! Bad game! Dropping cause of one update!"

[fading wraith]

well you see it isn't locked behind 20 billion microtransactions and we're getting it for free

[chilly ember]

That other guy who admitted to not even playing the game was definitely a troll.

[merry kestrel]

Bruhhh

[fading wraith]

my guy I think you just don't like this game

[merry kestrel]

Does phamso have stats check them

[worn lance]

Yeah i have to earn the cosmetics? Nooo

[mossy mason]

maybe they were trolling with a few comments, but they did have some very valid points

[chilly ember]

It's not just one update. This update is just the one straw that broke the camel's back.

[lyric oracle]

He has the same amount of experience with the new update you do if he doesn’t play :p

[dry root]

It doesn't lol

[merry kestrel]

Wow I took a break from game I must hate phamso and everyone omg

[pallid sage]

is it usually like this here

[dry root]

You really need to relax. Its just a game

[lyric oracle]

Only when things happen that cause a stir lol

[mossy mason]

i'd say most, if not all, other updates have been very good for the health and longevity of the game

[merry kestrel]

Bros calling me a troll for saying I stopped playing for a few months meaning I can’t have a view lmao

[atomic moss]

Bruh who pissed in your Cheerios

[tardy rain]

Yeah this is my first update is this the normal vibe or is this especially bad

[dry root]

Not all the time, just happensnto be right now

[buoyant gale]

Glad people are coming to their senses in here over this update

[coral oriole]

idk i just checked what people think about the new update 😭

[buoyant gale]

This is normal, typically 6-12 months wait for extremely minor updates or this

[fading wraith]

earning cosmetics in the same game where you have to earn equipment? woah I'm so shocked, someone call John Ghost himself

[pallid sage]

yikes

[chilly ember]

If it were any ordinary game that I invested maybe 15-25 hours in, I would agree. But Phasmo is one of those games I've invested in hundreds of hours, and purposely got every achievement. That's why I'm so ticked off.

[dry root]

Anyone but John ghost!

[merry kestrel]

I’m staring to think you haven’t lmao

[south haven]

a lot of the people who play phasmo are weirdly miserable

[tardy rain]

I really hope they give us some more info about the 1.0 release to make up for this

[south haven]

like i can get not liking the look of the update but like man they need to get a life

[worn lance]

What is wrong with the update. In your opinion

[buoyant gale]

God for it we want the extremely rich development team to put some effort into their game

[dry root]

So you took it more serious than you need to and think thats healthy? You think what youre doing right now is helping yourself or the game?

[bitter hamlet]

Tbh just the result of having a big update incoming. This is the usual amongst any "official" game servers ;o;

[fading wraith]

oh so you literally just don't know you can play other games. have you heard of perhaps any other game at all

[coral oriole]

yeah i dont really like the update either but oh whatever

[south haven]

yeah but dont spend hours complaining uselessly about it, if youre that bothered just do something else😭

[pallid sage]

i see

[merry kestrel]

I’d love him to play outlast trials then complain it’s too gory lmao

[mossy mason]

look, as I said before, it's an early access game
things are prone to change, and if you don't like them, you don't have to play
I understand that you have a considerable time investment, but reacting viscerally and arguing about the update because you don't like it isn't going to change anything

[chilly ember]

The flashlight is the primary thing that kills the game. Followed by how janky everything looks, followed by how tiny they made the tools, and then the stupid sanity watch.

All piled on top of how dark they've made the game, how they ruined tanglewood, and how they butchered grafton.

[lyric oracle]

You should avoid early access if you don’t like big changes :/

[merry kestrel]

So blinded by nostalgia

[fading wraith]

careful, this guy has a discord account dated back to 2015, he might pull out a fedora

[coral oriole]

i agree with the flashlight it looks very goofy and the animations look silly

[dry root]

Tanglewood aint even bad

[buoyant gale]

The game won’t change without people giving the developers real criticism, they consistently hype up updates that add very little to the game or are just actively taking steps backwards like today

[merry kestrel]

He might be my dad

[mossy mason]

I'd say Tanglewood and Grafton are considerable improvements, but that's subjective
I also like the game getting darker, since it's horror

[lyric oracle]

Does he work at Nintendo!?

[worn lance]

I like the more than the old models that looked.. well.. old

[buoyant gale]

I think the map updates are fantastic just too few and far between

[coral oriole]

samsies

[merry kestrel]

He’s everywhere 👀

[south haven]

i agree but so many people dont give criticism they just moan without substance😭

[wanton rivet]

can i read early access change log ? or its private? or where

[chilly ember]

Exactly! If they just focused on making more maps, and fine tuning the current existing experience then the game would continue being perfect.

[ember elbow]

This right here

[mossy mason]

it's private right now, but there are videos with changes on YT iirc

[analog widget]

for me imo I think the animations could be better, they look kinda janky

[lyric oracle]

I’m p sure it’s entirely documented. Wiki likely has it at all least.

[buoyant gale]

Fair, the Reddit and YouTube comments on Insym’s videos provide far more proper criticism than the discord, but the discord is meant for well discord. Not essays

[tardy rain]

Honestly I feel like the game needs a good competitor. It’s the only popular game of its genre and with no competition the devs have no incentive to really try harder. What else will ghost hunters play?

[fading wraith]

somebody needs to let this poor man know games other than phasmophobia exist

[ember elbow]

They are working on 2 as we speak

[lyric oracle]

Or did you mean for THIS patch? Cause that’s not out.

[merry kestrel]

But your not criticising your complaining then going after people who disagree with you

[south haven]

yeah they are incredibly stiff, like genuinely worst ive seen in a game that isnt famous for it

[mossy mason]

the thing is, they are working on new maps, and reworking old ones
1 new map a year with a few reworks is more than enough map flow, at least in my opinion

[normal epoch]

What time does new update launch?

[atomic moss]

Just don’t have the flashlight in your hand? Or use the headlamp? Or alter the brightness/contrast on your pc? There are workarounds buddy

[mossy mason]

prediction is 7am EST

[merry kestrel]

He stopped replying to me lmao

[chilly ember]

Well anyways, I've voiced my complaints. Peace out.

[fading wraith]

I think we got blocked lmaooooo

[south haven]

please let this be ironic bro

[merry kestrel]

He won’t reply to me

[lyric oracle]

Have a nice day :3

[ember elbow]

He just needed to vent

[vale jacinth]

when it might be on sale

[merry kestrel]

I think I’m in love now I found my purpose in life

[ember elbow]

[dry root]

Play without any lighting 🫵🏽👿 blind person simulator

[fading wraith]

he heard whispers of games other than phasmo and had to evacuate

[mossy mason]

Your complaints are valid, but I do think you're overreacting

[buoyant gale]

I’m just surprised they would launch something like this and no one on the team thought, “huh maybe we should put a few more hours into this.”

We’re all used to waiting, so it wouldn’t be anything new

[coral oriole]

there are a lot of good ghost hunting games, but sadly they never update them even though they could be so good 💔

[atomic moss]

Gotta alter your brightness if you wanna survive apoc anyway so

[atomic moss]

Apoc 3 is that

[fading wraith]

ragebaiting is an art

[white zenith]

I have a question about the twitch drop tomorrow, does it have to be an official partner or can it be anyone streaming Phasmophobia

[merry kestrel]

Definitely

[dry root]

The entire game is that for me 😔

[ember elbow]

Official

[coral oriole]

i like ur pfp

[buoyant gale]

To piggy back off this, there’s so many premade animation packs end engines that support far better animations than what we were given. I’m assuming they were made from scratch or maybe pulled off Gary’s mod

[fading wraith]

quickly discovering people in this game would not survive newblood update schedule

[lime token]

I think it's any streamer

[mossy mason]

any streamer

[south haven]

for real dude

[coral oriole]

lmao Garry's mod

[bitter hamlet]

Apocalypse 3 is still dragging me by my ankles. Still haven't pulled that one off

[ember elbow]

We S&box now

[vale jacinth]

When might the game be on sale?

[atomic moss]

Look for streamers that say they have drops enabled

[dry root]

Its Mikunekii's on instagram. Thank you though :)

[coral oriole]

thanks!!

[atomic moss]

Would have preferred it if they did this because that camera thing is gonna kill me

[strange flint]

It'd make more sense to let the streamers test the update. Then you fix the bugs they bring up. And THEN you release it to everyone else

[atomic moss]

You mean how like most companies do it

[dry root]

Always happy to share artists

[fading wraith]

amazed people are complaining about beta testing

[buoyant gale]

Yeh I play ultra wide with max FOV. The camera screen is about the width of two fingers on my screen lmao

[worn lance]

Oh shi i gotta wake up in 4,5 hours bye

[white zenith]

Yeah I was just asking if it has to be an official partner or anyone streaming it since the page just says any phasmophobia creator

[atomic moss]

Motion sickness hell

[strange flint]

Yeah exactly. There is no excuse to still have bugs left over from the easter event

[buoyant gale]

You’re not wrong

[bitter hamlet]

Oh dang, that ain't ideal
Goodnight!

[atomic moss]

You can still see the Easter stuff in the reflection of the glass in lobby

[south haven]

also 2 inch sound recorder screen </3

[zinc coyote]

[strange flint]

The truck on willow street is completely invisible for me

[buoyant gale]

You can also see it in the mirror if it spawns on ridge view, very funny

[lime token]

I play on 1440x1080 4:3 so I wonder how the update will look

[dry root]

Maybe they're intended gameplay features that they just added to the game? Ever think about that? 🫵🏽👿

[atomic moss]

Motion sickness hell for you too probably

[atomic moss]

Taking the Microsoft approach 💀 bugs are now features

[buoyant gale]

4:3? are you playing on a tv from 2004 lol

[strange flint]

If it's funny it's an intended feature. If not it's a bug

[mossy mason]

while it needs some work, nothing about it is unsalvageable and needs to be scrapped entirely
||inb4 the dude from like 5 mins ago comes in saying the entire update is unsalvageable and needs to be scrapped||

[dry root]

Lol thatd be quite the stand point to take

[lime token]

Nah I have a standard 1080p monitor, It just gives me the illusion of juggling items easier lol

[dry root]

Yes

[zinc pendant]

Js walked in got hunted and died off rip ❤️

[dry root]

Rip. Now come back and hunt it instead 😔

[buoyant gale]

He lowkey might have a point though Lmao. I do like the journal and new death animations however

Also why is there 30 different rings

[strange flint]

The animations are fine, I actually like a few of them. They just gotta fix some animation errors and small bugs and it'll be an alright dare I say, a good update

[plush rock]

yoyo

[strange flint]

I will say though. The amount of options for your character is rough

[lime token]

Oh man I just want to spam the t3 lighter animation so badly

[fast geyser]

I think worst one is gonna be incense, with the amount of time it'll take to light

[gritty dove]

Definitely fidget worthy

[strange flint]

As far as I know. It actually lights instantly, but the animation still carries on

[whole egret]

Not having blue hair as an option is a travesty

[atomic moss]

So the ghost actually is blinded from what I heard meaning they won’t kill you mid animation

[lyric oracle]

It’ll fix people getting killed by latency lol

[fast geyser]

I see, so if I trow it after lighting does it cancel it? If you know ofc

[atomic moss]

Can break our wrists but not add a color wheel

[patent perch]

any1 know what time exactly the update is

[lime token]

Should be 12pm bst

[strange flint]

I don't think you can throw it while the animation plays

[patent perch]

yippie!

[fast geyser]

Ghost photo mid hunt gonna be harder then. Unfortunate

[strange flint]

Insym tried it with the t1 photo cam and he couldn't drop it until the entire animation played out

[lime token]

The unnecessary delay between animations tho.. one of my only nitpicks

[buoyant gale]

My biggest gripe with the entire update is how the hand looks when you look at your watch

[fast geyser]

Canceling animations mid way would be great

[atomic moss]

[strange flint]

The hand when you hold the t3 photo cam looks painful

[drifting dust]

Slide cancel in Phas when

[fast geyser]

That it does

[mortal condor]

Is there a reason why i get server timeouts rn?

[strange flint]

Yeah unfortunately. Guess that's what friends are for in this case

[sly ether]

Starting to feel like most of these animations were completely unnecessary and do more harm than good.

[lime token]

Another cool piece of customization would be gloves

[fast geyser]

💀 I typically do no ev or apoc 3 alone

[buoyant gale]

My take too, the game doesn’t need animations for pressing a light switch. They should’ve fixed character models and how they look in multiplayer, that’s all it needed, if that. There’s so many other things to focus on that were sidetracked for this

[past pier]

yeah my friends want nothing to do with those modes lol so I usually do it solo as well

[stoic turret]

Anyone just got timeout from servers?

[past pier]

as long as they leave it so I look goofy af when I crouch, look up, and spin in a circle I'm cool with w/e 😂

(jk ofc)

[fast geyser]

Same, being able to cancel mid animation would save the day for most on this update

[strange flint]

Yep I agree

[placid lagoon]

is there any reason that my game is completely fried rn? my graphics are terrible, settings keep reseting, my map just is beyond fried and deloads whenever it decides it wants to, and i got black bars stuck on both sides of my screen. I've already tried fixing this inside game settings and nothing seems to change

[zinc coyote]

Turn off nvidia auto optimization

[buoyant gale]

Have you tried

[royal sage]

if we all complain enough, do we think they will push back the update until they fix how bad it looks lol

[fast geyser]

They may

[buoyant gale]

No

[fast geyser]

3/4 people not liking it is not a good look

[strange flint]

They might address some of the bugs. But like it or not the updates coming tomorrow

[placid lagoon]

my phasmo isnt being optimized by it at all

[buoyant gale]

Seems like more, the comments on Insym’s videos are demolishing it lmao

[fast geyser]

Idk who that is

[buoyant gale]

I’m excited to see the TikTok comments when drop the launch video

[wraith frigate]

what time is the update coming? like exactly may 5 for the devs or does it release may 5 for each timezone

[upper bone]

Prestige 4000 like bro

[buoyant gale]

One of the biggest creators

[slow spade]

only 1.2bn xp is all good :3

[upper bone]

What...

[late shuttle]

How are people seeing how it looks? All we got are screens hots and the charavter models aren't that bad

[buoyant gale]

So when you ask them to add more content they can point at your prestige and say that you’re only prestige 1,892

[fast geyser]

Ah okay, well ig good thing that a community dont like it to at least attempt to push it back

[strange flint]

Streamers got it early

[sly ether]

creators have early access

[atomic moss]

Are you close to prestige 1000 by any chance? Because then it will start its auto uninstall process (this is a joke I promise)

[solemn stream]

if you'd like to send a picture in #screenshots i can try to help you

[placid lagoon]

im only prestige 1

[late shuttle]

Are there videos out? Or only claims

[slow spade]

to get MMMM - 9999 (the new max level) is like ~1.9bn

[ember elbow]

After 20 its just for fun, no pressure

[lime token]

Light work

[atomic moss]

The other suggestions to turn off the optimizer should help

[upper bone]

Literally

[strange flint]

Insym did a stream earlier as well as psycho

[sly ether]

several videos

[acoustic skiff]

push back this update man- these animations are so janky and literally have seeen so many ccs preview it get HUGE FRAME DROPS to the point its unplayable

[fast geyser]

And i thought I was a high level lol

[placid lagoon]

my phasmo isnt being optimized by it though

[slow spade]

over 12k hours of your method

[buoyant gale]

😭 I get about 6,700xp per game on my custom settings and it would take me 316,000 games to max prestige

[upper bone]

I just hit prestige 20 with my mans @fast geyser and I'm staying prestige 20

[atomic moss]

Noooo someone else and I determined earlier once you hit prestige 1000, the game auto uninstalls

[upper bone]

Dayum

[fast geyser]

You just hit it, not me i been there 💀

[lime token]

Welp, see yall in like a year and a half

[trail stone]

Yea once I hit 20 I am done

[buoyant junco]

what’s the best loadout to use

[strange flint]

Just wait for double xp! Then it'll only take half that!

[upper bone]

I know but you were with me when I hit it

[dry helm]

During an event for example a Raiju can I guess it based on the heartbeat sound or does it have to be a hunt for me to guess its trait?

[upper bone]

Literally

[sly ether]

be me not wanting to prestige for forever because i don't want to play with t1 items lol

[buoyant gale]

Just do 380,000 weekly challenges

[atomic moss]

Does the heart beat nearly send you into a panic attack? Probably a raiju

[slow spade]

Year and a half?? 😭

[lime token]

Event and hunt

[buoyant junco]

can someone help me get a decent loadout for level 66 professional difficulty

[dry helm]

So basically the ghost trait shows up even during events?

[atomic moss]

Yup!

[strange flint]

Easy enough. Theres how many weeks in a year? Like 40? So... A couple years at least

[buoyant gale]

Give or take

[sudden pivot]

22 minutes till midnight GMT

[slow spade]

52 twin 😭

[buoyant junco]

I had a hacker just now takes an incent walks in walks out wait 5 seconds tells us what the ghost is 💀

[solemn stream]

please don't joke about that

[lyric oracle]

I mean, that’s not impossible.

[buoyant junco]

? wdym

[strange flint]

So it'd take at least a year to get there then

[lyric oracle]

There are a few ghosts you could peep within a few seconds.

[buoyant junco]

they run at 1000% speed it’s a ferrari they do it for multiple times

[fast geyser]

Sounds like regular no ev to me

[buoyant junco]

I know that

It’s literally a hacker tho

[buoyant gale]

Going to train monkeys to play phasmo, invent a Time Machine, travel 2,000 years into the future, and be the first ever phasmo player to reach prestige 4,000

[dry helm]

had someone say that the screen was bright therefore it was a phantom 😭

[lyric oracle]

That part is more hackery. And multiple times? Why did you stick with them..? Don’t do that.

[lime token]

Fork method

[trail stone]

Rev on blood moon 🚀

[upper bone]

We just got rev on bm lol

[buoyant junco]

they go to the truck after going in for 0.5 seconds, waits it out for the hack to tell them

[mortal condor]

Is there a reason why i get server timeouts rn?

[buoyant junco]

I didn’t know the first 2 times

[fast geyser]

Moroi on 210% speed is better

[buoyant junco]

then I saw the speed lol

[upper bone]

Speed blitzed

[lyric oracle]

Don’t play with hackers :3 Report them tho.

[solemn stream]

did you report them in-game

[slow spade]

realistcally: grinding 16 hours a day - no downtime - would grant you about 2.7m xp... 1.9bn is only 709 days. of that...

[trail stone]

Bro,broke the sound barrier

[buoyant junco]

They left so I didn’t really catch the name ngl it was some weird ass name

[misty marlin]

Im debating playing or not but idk

[lime holly]

Thats not even realistic 😭

[buoyant junco]

Can you find recent players

[lime holly]

It’d be much less

[slow spade]

8 hours for sleep. Some person might do it 😭

[lyric oracle]

They gonna glitch out of the map and kill everyone 😭

[buoyant gale]

But started his unrealistic situation with “realistically”

[strange flint]

Ah perfect. Only 2 and a half years of non-stop phas... Nothing beats that

[dry root]

"I farted and it smelled like eggs. Has to be a demon"

Like.. huh?

[lime holly]

Nahh nobody is doing that legitimately

[mortal condor]

Is there a reason why i get server timeouts rn?

[lime holly]

If they did they likely account share or some other unlegit method

[buoyant junco]

Also can someone help me make a loadout im playing professional and have all the main at t3 im lvl 66

[lime token]

Code some bot to automatically grind xp lmao

[lime holly]

lmao

[slow spade]

yeah i mean realistically no one will EVER reach prestige 4000 NEVERMIND lv. 9999 on top of that 😭

[lyric oracle]

That’s what all of us are by downloading the wiki into our brain 😭

[lime holly]

i dint even think anyone is getting halfway there

[buoyant gale]

This coming from the XX 2800+ we know you’ll be the first one there

[fast geyser]

That kinda removes the point in grinding to hit the max

[upper bone]

Literally

[strange flint]

I'm already 0.1% there. Don't count me out yet

[slow spade]

last played the game dec 18th 2025 🥱

[lyric oracle]

YOU GOT THIS

[buoyant gale]

You’re missing out on a dope update

[dry root]

Quit lyin, you played yesterday 😤

[ember elbow]

A borderline impossible max. So you can grind as much as you want!

[slow spade]

mhmmm. ill take your word for it ;P

[buoyant gale]

Yall think by the time someone hits max prestige the game will be out of early access?

[lime token]

I don't think p14 would even be 0.1% of the new max level 😭

[slow spade]

yeah

[dry root]

No

[ember elbow]

1.0 is this year so

[atomic moss]

Nah but I bet we have prestige 4000 players before we have GTA 6

[upper bone]

You're buggin

[lime holly]

The universe will end before that happens

[buoyant gale]

Which part

[slow spade]

both

[ember elbow]

Players literally requested this

[lime holly]

^

[lime token]

I realistically don't see myself prestige past like 200 or so

[ember elbow]

[junior fable]

Is anyone elses phas playing up tonight

[buoyant gale]

Real question is will they add custom id cards for every prestige

[lime holly]

I see u stopping at XLVI tbh

[fast geyser]

💀 yes borderline impossible, most the point in playing is being able to hit the max. Or just to have fun

[lime holly]

match ur profile

[strange flint]

I'm but a speck of sand scattered throughout a desert

[lime holly]

or reach prestige L

[lime token]

That'd be aura, regain my discord username

[ember elbow]

Nope, after 20 its for the love of the game

[slow spade]

but then your username would change

it will always be 26 prestiges ahead

[lime token]

Oh your so right

So if I want to get 420, I'd only have to reach p394

[slow spade]

400 is a fire prestige though

CD

Like, yes i want Compact Disc before my level

[lime token]

XL tho

[strange flint]

I wonder if the top players are gonna prestige or keep their current levels

[lime holly]

Im keeping mine for now and reaching level 3000

[ember elbow]

Don't forget MC

[lime holly]

idk what im gonna do there yet

[slow spade]

I would prestige without a second thought

[lime holly]

from what i heard justly is not immediately prestiging

[strange flint]

Yeah that makes sense, you're already so close as is

[atomic moss]

Then you put your username in game as Donald’s

[ember elbow]

Buy everything first

[royal sage]

whenever you prestige, does it lock all of the maps?

[slow spade]

nah

[atomic moss]

Nah you just get robbed

[lime holly]

Yeah im at 2926 rn

74 more levels to go

[strange flint]

See I'm in this boat only because I don't have a stack of levels holding me back

[ember elbow]

Unfortunately I'm on console, but to the PC reps out there

[slow spade]

ive only got 1 or 2

[strange flint]

Damn man, best of luck

[lime token]

Equipment supplier then perchance 👉 👈

[lime holly]

Lol bet

Id be down

[fast geyser]

I doubt it

[strange flint]

Yeah I see that

[fast geyser]

I know I'm not going to prestige unless there's rewards

[strange flint]

The reward is pride

[ember elbow]

I'll just prestige, incase something happens later

[fast geyser]

Pride isn't there, I'm like level 2k, I enjoy my max level gear

[misty ridge]

Go to sleep its late

[strange flint]

I see a t1 dots in your future

[misty ridge]

You need to do your portfolio

[fast geyser]

💀 hope not, idk if I'll play much longer after I hit 2k anyway

[upper bone]

What😞

[sudden pivot]

5 minutes till midnight GMT

[strange flint]

I wonder what the boss is gonna say once you reach 4000. " Go outside"

[lime holly]

“Go outside” and uninstalls the game and auto bans you

[strange flint]

I probably will as long as they keep at the steady pace of updates

[strange flint]

Yeah seems about right

[lime holly]

i cant wait for someone non-p20 to hit p20 im curious if the voiceline will still say “you’ve reached the highest promotion we can offer”

After tomorrow

[fast geyser]

As long as the game if fun to me I'll still play. If I cant seem to like what updates they do there ain't a point either

[strange flint]

I'll play as long as there isn't a battle pass

[fast geyser]

I can agree on that, there isn't a need for a battle pass anyway. It would ruin the game

[lime token]

Imagine they added 3980 more voiceless

[lime holly]

Bahaha

[hexed vapor]

wait the update is in the midnight or in the middle of the day?

[lime holly]

Yes. Depending on your timezone

[hexed vapor]

Bro

[strange flint]

Any paid dlc with the game in this state would drive me out to be fair

[hexed vapor]

Midnight or afternoon

Yes is not the answer

[fast geyser]

Yeah same

[sudden pivot]

1min till midnight GMT

[lyric oracle]

Idk if they’ve spoken about no DLC, seems likely the stance they’d take. They have said no micro transactions apparently.

There’s no logical DLC it could have anyway.

[sudden pivot]

It's now midnight GMT... No update

Probably in 12 hours then

[strange flint]

Freddy fazbear add-on

[swift root]

Pretty sure its 1am when when phasmo resets for the day

[lyric oracle]

That would be more micro transactions than dlc lol

[swift root]

Could be wrong

[sudden pivot]

Tanglehood update came out noon GMT on March 3rd

[past pier]

it's 23:02 UTC

[sudden pivot]

So if it's not out by 1am as you say then I'm expecting noon GMT March 5th

[past pier]

so maybe midnight utc?

[swift root]

🤷🤷

[past pier]

or maybe noon, who knows lol

[lime token]

Most likely coming out at 12pm bst, so in like 12 hours

[strange flint]

1 new ghost - Freddy
5 new t-shirts representing all 5 animatronics from the first game
1 new character
And a map

$19.99 take it or leave it

[wise oyster]

leave it

I paid like $12 for the game. I'm not paying more for a DLC

[lime token]

Just give us the loot boxes and item skins already

[leaden schooner]

guys, what can i take a photo of for the perfect game during no evidence? im always one short, i have bone, burnt crucifix, emf and ghost photo (playing without cursed possession)

gotten lucky with dirty water but its not guaranteed

[strange flint]

Lucky I paid like 30 when it first released on consoles

[split inlet]

So hyped for the update

[sudden pivot]

There's also 3 different kinds of ghost photos - normal, shadow, and transluscent

[wise oyster]

how? Full price is $20

[upper bone]

🥺

[strange flint]

On consoles? I swear when it first released it was 30

[past pier]

dang I never even considered going for a perfect game on 0 evidence haha - props to you

[wise oyster]

maybe canadian? idk

[strange flint]

Mind you this is 30 CAD

[split inlet]

If I remember correctly they had a sale during the summer and for Halloween

[leaden schooner]

give it a try, i find it more challenging 😄

[wise oyster]

yeah might be then. Sorry I was thinking USD

[strange flint]

Yeah but I bought it the moment it dropped on xbox

[split inlet]

Ahhh

[fallow narwhal]

quick question, cant see a questions tab but, has a specific time been set for the update to release or is it unknown?

[wise oyster]

We're assuming in about 12 hours, based on past updates

we haven't gotten an official time

[strange flint]

For me since I got eastern time it normally drops around 6-7

But it could also just drop whenever

[fallow narwhal]

so what would bst possibly be?

12am rn for me

[strange flint]

According to google about 11am bst

[fallow narwhal]

perfect, tyvm guess im waking up at 11am

[trail stone]

I think a good idea would be a option to turn them on and off

[strange flint]

Yeah no problem

[muted ether]

What do yall think of the update

[violet ruin]

Im waiting on when i experience the update before i have an opinion tbh

[muted ether]

Good point

[sudden pivot]

I'm stoked from what I've seen. Doesn't look like it interrupts gameplay, while not the greatest animations it still look 1000x better than the bent-back free unity asset characters.

[muted ether]

Oh yea fs lol and im sure they will improve it over time as well

[sudden pivot]

100

[slate umbra]

i hate it, what have they done with the hands? broken wrists?

[muted ether]

And once they add the horror update 🤌

[sudden pivot]

It's such a small feature but I really hope they add mouth movements when using game voice chat

[muted ether]

Im sure they will fix most of those small kinks

[strange flint]

It shows promise. The watch is a cool addition, making your own character while limited still looks fun. Overall a fine update, just needs a few bug fixes

[viscid jacinth]

What time gmt is new update

[slate umbra]

idk if you guys saw insyms video

[muted ether]

Yea pretty much same opinion here

[sudden pivot]

I was hoping it'd be out already now since it's past midnight, i'm giving it till 1am but I'm pretty sure it's coming out noon GMT

Tanglehood update came out noon the day of

[prisma lily]

Vr update?

[slate umbra]

oh shoot did vr even get an update?

[strange flint]

Running around the house with both arms extended like you're trying to give the ghost a hug is unintentionally really funny

[slate umbra]

tbh it looks very unpolished imo, not something i would put out as a game designer myself

[sly ether]

I feel like they pushed things so far out and made them take up so much of the screen specifically just to show off their new hands ... which just ended up looking jank.

[strange flint]

Oh yeah I agree 100%. But compared to everything else it's fine for now

[open axle]

they did not playtest i think thats clear

[slate umbra]

100%

[hearty hound]

update if you get it lol

[slate umbra]

my friend is in denial and will open the game now and wont let it update XD

[fading wraith]

does the update drop in 30 minutes or tomorrow?

[hearty hound]

cant find anything online. depends on timezone too. no updates on ps5 bst

[lyric oracle]

About 12 hours

[lime token]

[open axle]

phas usually updates midday UK time. sometime around <t:1777982400:f> i'd imagine

[open axle]

well you can actually reverse the game version using just steam

[upper bone]

When is the Oof update gon drop

[sly frost]

soon(tm)

[sudden pivot]

If it's coming out noon tomorrow I won't be on the moment it comes out

But i'll try lol

[steady ridge]

i’m very glad i turned off updates for this game. a patch like this is embarrassing, especially when you consider how many sales phasmo has had

[fading wraith]

oh neat!! :D

[sudden pivot]

Cool

[pearl galleon]

I think I'm uninstalling the game until this gets properly fixed in a very big way

[onyx meteor]

Corporate Colabs > Good quality

[open axle]

genuinely as surprised as you are tbf. was not expecting kinetic to go ahead with such an unpolished update

definitely a mixed bag update

[olive sorrel]

This dev team is never beating the allegations of being lazy and not caring

[sudden pivot]

Think we'll get a new map that'll be Dknight's mansion? That way we can see where the money went. Might be too big for a map tho...

[onyx meteor]

And to think this was suppose to come out last year and was delayed, then we got new ghosts that no one asked for, then it got delayed past Tanglewood, it got delayed past first quarter of 2026, we got a Alan Wake II collaboration announcement, then this unfinished, buggy mess, with barely any customization options. It feels like when they got more people, a bigger studio, a movie announcement, a publishing studio, and merch they just stopped caring like every other game studio. Sorry for this paragraph. Also as a console player there are still bugs like not being able to rename load outs that I have reported that still have not been fixed. Lazy.

[vivid cipher]

those cosmetic to buy in new update gonna reset after prestigeing?

[lime holly]

u keep cosmetics

[vivid cipher]

oh thats nice

[charred hill]

4000 prestiges

😭

[umbral ridge]

Does anyone know what time the new skin update will be added?

[charred hill]

jadeite r u prestiging?

[onyx meteor]

Prob 12 pm bst

[last drift]

"we got new ghosts that no one asked for,"

new ghosts and new maps is a commonly requested item.

[onyx meteor]

Unless hopefully they delay it

[umbral ridge]

Thx

[steady ridge]

my guess is they know it’s not ready, but there’s some cosmetic that is supposed to be part of the Alan Wake collab.
that’s better than the alternative option which is they genuinely think this is good quality

[onyx meteor]

Yes, but I feel like more ppl wanted character customization

[wheat bobcat]

will you guys prestige?

[fast geyser]

Probably not

[onyx meteor]

They could just do it like the Easter event and get it after then

[onyx meteor]

I’m already max so

[charred hill]

New ghosts leave to more replay ability of the game so people would want that more, player customisation is cool but in a few days it dosent rlly change anything until they add items

[wheat bobcat]

max prestige is now 20

4000*

[charred hill]

Apparently they're adding more prestiges

[indigo chasm]

Just got my first successful blood moon 👻👻👻

[charred hill]

if theres no gain for prestiging then theres no point

[thorn spruce]

They'll probably release it tmr then fix the bugs and stuff along the way.

[fast geyser]

Not really the best idea they've had, just the grinding of levels past p20 was enough

[charred hill]

uhh?

[wheat bobcat]

yeah, tbh didn't think the new prestige cap at 4k was necessary

[onyx meteor]

Oh yeah they were suppose to add a reason and 2 1/2 years later nothing

Feeling Fantastic

[charred hill]

It took them like 8 months to fix bone on sunny, plus theres alot of bugs which have been in the game for a long time without being fixed

[last drift]

i love that my kid eats like me

[lime holly]

nah im hitting 3000 first

[last drift]

mac and cheese and seasoned ground beef

[slate umbra]

just gonna say this - if i was their game designer, id be ashamed to put this update out

[last drift]

thats dinner cheeseburger mac

[charred hill]

ngl if theres no rewards for prestige 21 22 23 24 etc theres no point lmfao

[onyx meteor]

Wait where did they announce this

[fast geyser]

Think 20 was great. Barely anyone gets there anyway. Only reason why we all p20 is cus we played a lot more than the average player

[lime holly]

then i may considerit but probably wont

[last drift]

announce what

[lime holly]

Yeah i probably wont

[wheat bobcat]

if p20 is already sweaty level imagine encountering a p4k now

[alpine sky]

There's literally a roblox game that consists of only 7 developers that fixes bugs more consistently and quicker than Kinetic does

[lime holly]

for all i care, prestige 20 is still the maximum in my heart. Its the last prestige before u get no more rewards

[wheat bobcat]

tbh roblox engine seems easier tho

[last drift]

that doesnt mean the game's "better"

[plain niche]

hey is there an eta on what time today the updates out?

[sly frost]

am i dumb or does the t1 dots not work?

[fast geyser]

Real, even then there's no rewards, so no point in going further

[thorn spruce]

Oh well, Alan Wake event iguess. They probably have no choice but to release it.

[steady ridge]

this isn’t unity’s fault

[vivid cipher]

wtf you mean prestige more than 20?

[charred hill]

Well, prestige 20 took indiviudals 96 hours to get, so someone can figiure out the maths on this

[lime holly]

They’ll get auto banned

[wheat bobcat]

prestige max will now be 4000

[wheat bobcat]

wait

[vivid cipher]

💀

[onyx meteor]

Someone is def lying bro

[fallow sleet]

Apparently I missed something, why is everyone I see on Reddit complaining about the update tomorrow?

[lime holly]

Would mean u gotta do that 200 more times.

So 200*96 =19,200 hours

[charred hill]

I thought that but it seemed like too much lmfao

[lime holly]

new methods now can do it faster

[wheat bobcat]

if you right, p4000 needs 19200 hours now

[lime holly]

u can get from 0 to 20 in around 60-70 hours with optimal methods

[thorn spruce]

We know someone is going to go for p4000

[charred hill]

yeah 100%, but if it wasnt like that it would be

Days: 19,104 ÷ 24 ≈ 796 days (~2.18 years)
Weeks: ~113.7 weeks
Months: ~26.5 months (non-stop grinding)

[lime holly]

itll still be a ton of hrs

[upper bone]

A no life tbh

[lime holly]

its designed to be unreachable

[fast geyser]

That's what I did took me 80 hours tho

[lime holly]

Its hackerbait

[charred hill]

Even people with the most hours in the game wouldnt have enough for prestige 4000, if all they did was xp farm

[trail stone]

A 10% xp boost per prestige would be good

[upper bone]

Literally bro

[vivid cipher]

im preeeaty sure you cant write down 4000 in roman

[lime holly]

u can

[wheat bobcat]

I think to even reach p4000 with xp farms would be so boring

[upper bone]

You can I said that and I was proven wrong

[drifting dust]

What Roman numerals did you learn 😭

[vivid cipher]

how even that look

[wheat bobcat]

you can actually

[charred hill]

IV̅

[fast geyser]

Play 1 amature round at p500 and you'll get a prestige

[upper bone]

Holy here comes the nerds

[thorn spruce]

Make the most of double xp events XD

[lime holly]

What myspace said

[charred hill]

IV̅ = 4000
MMMM = 4000

[lime holly]

^

[solemn stream]

MMMM

[lime holly]

Both of those are correct roman numerals for 4000

[alpine sky]

It shows more care towards their game

[vivid cipher]

what kind of psycho would even grind to p4000?

[solemn stream]

M is Mille in latin which is thousand

[wheat bobcat]

I kinda sad now because p20 felt like 100% phas for me

[thorn spruce]

That wont be me. Imma be buying the entire cosmetic shops before prestige. Haha

[charred hill]

As its been said before, its designed to be unreachable

[urban sequoia]

whens the update

[charred hill]

@lime holly ngl i've not played the game in like 3 weeks xd

[solemn stream]

in roughly 11 hours

[wheat bobcat]

tomorrow

[drifting dust]

Can’t wait for first MMMM-0000 in 2030

[onyx meteor]

Where is this announced I’m so confused

[lime holly]

i been grinding alot tbh with a group. I really been wanting to hit 3k

[wheat bobcat]

how many years is 19200 hours btw?

[charred hill]

I've seen

[thorn spruce]

Yea p20 was kinda a status title. If they cap it at 40 or 50 could be fun.

[vivid cipher]

thats stupid there should be some kind of max out lvl

[lime holly]

And 3k feels like a good stopping point

[upper bone]

I'm so scared😔

[charred hill]

last played apr 19th xd

[drifting dust]

@wheat bobcat

[lyric oracle]

I mean.. there IS

[wheat bobcat]

hell no

[violet ruin]

Ngl i almost forgot to remind you about the thing i was supposed to remind you about

[rotund marsh]

Are the photos I've been seeing about the new update real? or are they fake because theres no way it would be that bad right?

[thorn spruce]

See u all at p4000. Coming soon in 2030. Before gta 7!

[lyric oracle]

I trusted you.. :p

[lime holly]

its a computer’s way of saying infinity though pretty much

[vivid cipher]

reachable one for normal person

[frank crane]

lol!

[lyric oracle]

But; you like bigger numbers lol

[violet ruin]

I dmed yoh to remind you i still did it just late cause i was busy all day

[charred hill]

ngl prestige 100 seems fine

[frank crane]

It'll be fun, things to work towards!

[fast geyser]

Nah we wont even have gta 6 by then

[lime holly]

on calculator 1e99 is technically bounded but acts as infinity. In my stats courses we’ll sometimes use 9999 for upper bounds

[upper bone]

Literally

[lime holly]

Since its such a high number, the probability it becomes insignificant contribution

[fast geyser]

Has someone done the math to hit 9999?

[charred hill]

prestige?

[lime holly]

level 9999 is roughly 700 mil xp

[vivid cipher]

wow osmone is einstein😆

[lime holly]

p4000 is roughly 1.2bil xp

[fast geyser]

I'm not even close 💀

[wheat bobcat]

i hope they undo this and let p20 as max

[lime holly]

dw nobody is

[fast geyser]

Fr

[spare marsh]

When is update?

[frank crane]

Tomorrow

[fast geyser]

No

[lime holly]

Bro those lobbies about to make even more bank 😭

[upper bone]

Will phasmo even be phasmo tomorrow

[thorn spruce]

Nah, the new status symbol would be like, prestige 100+ then p1000 is god tier 😮

[frank crane]

Right? like why are those even a thing!

[spare marsh]

I thought it was 1am uk?

[charred hill]

@lime holly if u played
4 hours a day it'd take 10 years,
6 hours, 6 years
8 hours, 5 year
12 hours, 3 years, if your going at 70k xp an hour

[odd vale]

Ugh. Let’s not advertise them. I hate those.

[spare marsh]

Like easter one

[buoyant junco]

helppp

[lime holly]

i normally grind at 100k xp/hr pace. Maybe even higher in a group.

But yeah still very unrealistic

[buoyant junco]

No writing no emf no temps, i have UV and Box, but I tried to test for polter idkk he didn’t really do a bomb twice and he’s kinda not too slow

[vivid cipher]

wait is this really real that cap at 4000p? and if so when do this gonna be in gam?

[frank crane]

Sounds to me they want the game to last a decade or longer

[buoyant junco]

could it be gallu? Im on professional and cant get the third hint

[wheat bobcat]

tomorrow

[charred hill]

i meant 70 hours per 20 prestiges*

[lime holly]

Oh i see

yeah its insane

[charred hill]

if u have salt u can check

[wheat bobcat]

i can see we getting the first 50 prestiges tomorrow already

[buoyant junco]

how

[wheat bobcat]

and p100 in 3 days max

[upper bone]

Like bro

[charred hill]

Place one peice of salt and wait for the ghost to step in it then place another, if it fails to set in it then its a gallu

[buoyant junco]

he already broke all the salts

[wheat bobcat]

i think i will try going to p100 as it is the most common cap in most games i play

[buoyant junco]

I placed in his spot

[buoyant junco]

during a hunt? or just randomly

[charred hill]

did he then step in one right after?

[buoyant junco]

not sure ngl

[steady ridge]

wtf that’s genius

[charred hill]

Did you never know that lol

[steady ridge]

no lol

[buoyant junco]

how do I place them

[charred hill]

Js spread them ouit

so its in a line

[vivid cipher]

ofcourse i don have even reach p5 now i gonna die before i reach 4000

[buoyant junco]

ok

[lime holly]

everyone will

[charred hill]

😭 theres alot more for u to learn

[charred hill]

nah u got it

[lime holly]

😭

[wheat bobcat]

so now after everything we talked, what your all thoughts on the p4000 cap?

[frank crane]

Sounds like a fun challenge

[lime holly]

meaningless to me

[frank crane]

im up for it

[vivid cipher]

sounds like some kind of hell

[steady ridge]

maybe when we die we’ll get the option to play as the ghost

[buoyant junco]

he stepped in 1 and turned around is it a gallu?

[charred hill]

no,

[wise oyster]

Just think of it as your pac-man high score, or something

[wheat bobcat]

unsure

[steady ridge]

yeah i don’t know the new ghosts too well yet

[charred hill]

now check if it steps in another peice of salt

[buoyant junco]

i can’t physically see him but he stepped in 1

[charred hill]

is he hunting?

[buoyant junco]

no

it needs to be hunt?

[charred hill]

no

Check if it steps in another peice of salt

If it dosent then its a gallu

[buoyant junco]

ok he just did

[lime holly]

Huh 😭

[buoyant junco]

during a hunt 2 salts in a row

[charred hill]

then its not a gallu

[sly frost]

Is the T1 dots not working anymore?

[buoyant junco]

I wanna say it’s a mimic

[wise oyster]

there's no more destination. You're just playing to get as high as you can get. Perhaps a bad example since that game would break if you got too high (or a great example?)

[charred hill]

Check for ghost orbs

[buoyant junco]

no orbs

[lime holly]

But that game had a max

[charred hill]

then its not a mimic

[buoyant junco]

we have a ghost photo without a ghost could it be a phantom?

[charred hill]

yes

[lime holly]

u got to round 256 and the game broke

[fast geyser]

Unless I can convert what I've already grinded into prestiges close to 80 more past my 20. Then I have no want to get there

[charred hill]

if theres no ghost in the photo its a mimic

[wise oyster]

only b/c the game stopped working after a certain score. There was still no finality to the game itself

[buoyant junco]

wait what

[lime holly]

yeah

[charred hill]

its a phantom*

oops

[buoyant junco]

Niceeeee, and it can never be a bug?

[wise oyster]

so same thing. You play this one til it breaks

[lime holly]

Thats still pretty cool tho tbh and way more achievable

[steady ridge]

i think it’s nice for people who really like the leveling experience, but it really sucks for people who are already prestige 20. I’d hope they get some sort of badge or plaque or something

[charred hill]

no

[buoyant junco]

like no ghost but it bugged or smth

[lime holly]

Till I break*

[wise oyster]

yeah the difference is pac-man wasn't broken when you started

[buoyant junco]

So the thing about the gallu is there like a timer between the salt rupture or smth?

[charred hill]

ima get to prestige 67 and giveup

[vivid cipher]

same

[wise oyster]

yes, 2 seconds when going from Normal to Enraged and 3s when going from Weakened to Normal

that's the delay in switching states from salt

[lime holly]

LXVI

[buoyant junco]

Wait wdym if he steps in 1 he can’t step in the second for 2 seconds?

[charred hill]

nvm thats chopped

[charred hill]

aftr the 2 seconds it wont step in salt till it hunts

[wise oyster]

no, he can for that time. It takes 2s for the state change to kick in from salt

[buoyant junco]

Damn this is confusing

🤣

I don’t understand anymore

[wise oyster]

I may not be explaining the best. The Cheat Sheet has more detailed info on Gallu states (linked from its ghost card).

Gallu starts in normal state > It steps in salt > 2s later it is in Enraged state. During that 2s period, it could step of lots of salt piles (theoretically), so when testing Gallu with salt, you need decent spacing between piles (T3 slowing helps)

[lyric oracle]

Lay some, wait a bit, lay more.

[wise oyster]

even better, tbh

[buoyant junco]

Ah I see

[lyric oracle]

Knocks out wraith, then Gallu.

[vivid cipher]

whats the biggest number in lenght when you write in roman numerals?

[buoyant junco]

after the 2s it won’t

and does it go enraged after the 2s for stepping?

[lyric oracle]

Not very high, I don’t speak Roman.

[odd vale]

4,000 is MMMM haha that’ll look fun.

[wise oyster]

Right, then it'll be Enraged until the end of the next hunt, then it becomes Weakened.

[buoyant junco]

what about cruci, burning it turns it enraged uti after next hunt?

[wise oyster]

Weakened cycles back to Normal with the same triggers (smudge, cruci, salt)

[lyric oracle]

I only know this end of Gallu and not as much of the weakened lol

[vivid cipher]

im just courious if that high lvl would even fit on id card

[wise oyster]

It's always a cycle: Normal > Enraged > Weakened > Normal

Smudge, salt, and cruci burns will advance it from Weakened or Normal to the next stage. Enraged only ends with a hunt.

[lyric oracle]

Any “protection” method will enrage, doesn’t have to be salt. But salt first is also a Wraith test.

[buoyant junco]

just placing it?

[wise oyster]

The point I was trying to make here is it doesn't go straight to Enraged if it's Weakened

[wise oyster]

stepping on salt, burning a cruci, not just placing

[buoyant junco]

ah okay

[lyric oracle]

Also this but it was about the question of cruci burning.

Getting smoke in their eyes.

[wise oyster]

Tbh someone coud make a really simple infographic on this. It comes up enough

[buoyant junco]

does the tripod not auto record?

[hearty hound]

same loll

[lyric oracle]

No

[hearty hound]

nope! watch it from van and hit record

[lyric oracle]

You can record manually from the truck, or holding the cam.

[magic warren]

What time Is the update tomorrow for est

[buoyant junco]

ah gotcha

[violet ruin]

Usually its 7am

[lyric oracle]

Likely in about 11h

[magic warren]

HELL YEAH !!

[hearty hound]

its mostly for watching while youre in the van. unfortunately but if it did auto rec you would get duplicates and stuff

[lyric oracle]

Tripods just allow for easier angles, some protection of throwing, and high tiers also you can rotate the camera from the truck.

[hearty hound]

thats tier two i believee.

[lyric oracle]

And in the past trolling your friends by making a barricade.

[lyric oracle]

Ye 2 and 3, sad 3 doesn’t have tilting the cam.

[hearty hound]

i havent reached t3 yet lol

[lyric oracle]

I want to set up my ghost room for absolute cinema.

[lyric oracle]

They’re just even harder to knock over I think lol

[hearty hound]

lol darn. can you still pan w it?

[lyric oracle]

Ye they both swivel. Which is funny if you just leave it on ngl.

[buoyant junco]

if he’s in the room and salt aint moving its a wraith yeah?

[lyric oracle]

Wet have breakdancing robot friends.

[lyric oracle]

Do you have motion sensors?

[hearty hound]

haha it took a min for my slow self to fugure it out, one click to pan, another to stop it lol. stoopid

[buoyant junco]

no but he’s throwing stuff

[dense tree]

yo anyone got any good phas soundboarrds?

[buoyant junco]

just got 3 evidence it is a wraith

[solemn stream]

we don't have soundboards here

[stark dove]

it has to go over the salt

[lyric oracle]

Can’t use them on the server.

And not be an enraged gallu, or a mimic being a wraith at that moment :p

[dense tree]

sadge

[lyric oracle]

Where’d Van go he’s got a big nerd brain?

If a mimic mimics a gallu or obambo do we know what state it enters as?

[frank crane]

if a mimic mimics how many times does a mimic mimics a mimic? D:

[lyric oracle]

A mimic mimics a mimic for the first minute :3 They’re average Joe. Like jinn without a breaker. Like a house of cards one blow from caving in.

[frank crane]

i swear to god Mimics are the villain of this game lol

[lyric oracle]

Nah they’re freeee moni!

[jovial bramble]

i have a question as the game gets more updates will the performance get worse/ become more and more stuttery

[lyric oracle]

I feel like they would aim to improve that where they can, computers are very varied so it’s tough though.

[frank crane]

The game should improve with every update but not every update may not be perfect out of the gate. So we should expect smaller patches to fix the issues that may arise

[jovial bramble]

oh i was worried that the fps drops will become more worse

i always had issues with big fps drops

[frank crane]

The only thing I could suggest is, keep your drivers updated, make sure your gaming rig is up to par. Outside of that, for me in my personal experience I have ran into 0 issues with the game, but my experience differs from everyone elses

[lyric oracle]

There’s a particular bug rn that should be fixed tomorrow making performance worse. As for everything else? Time will tell :3

[frank crane]

whats the bug?!

[lyric oracle]

Easter semi existing in the same reality as our own lol.

[frank crane]

😮 yea i havent noticed that, I saw people posting it on FB

[lyric oracle]

A lot of people asked about it regarding specifically the lobby, others said they were also getting frame drops in game compared to before, but yes that should be gone.

[steady ridge]

[frank crane]

Well lets hope that the issues get resolved 🙂

[solemn stream]

let's not

[frank crane]

Im excited for tomorrow but also really anxious, i dont handle changes well lol

[wispy rune]

Is the update tm?

[lyric oracle]

You are handling it much better than most I’ve seen lol.

[royal sage]

Do we know what time the update is?

[lyric oracle]

Should be in like 11 hours or so.

[frank crane]

thats until you realize im sitting here SOBBING AND HYPERVENTILATING lol

[mossy mason]

I'll just warn if you don't handle changes well that tomorrow is gonna be a real shock, but just give it time

[sudden pivot]

It honestly doesn't look like it changes gameplay or pacing at all, the animations are mostly cosmetic. Its going from previously no animations updated to some okay animations

[wispy rune]

Hello, you

[wise oyster]

normally yes, but KG doesn't have a very good track record of iterative improvements.

[lyric oracle]

At least you aren’t lashing out at people ❤️

[frank crane]

Every change is a normal adjustment 🙂 It'll be fine!

[lyric oracle]

Answer my mimic question nerd boi

[wise oyster]

what question

[frank crane]

taking out my frustrations on people wouldnt be right at all

[lyric oracle]

If a Mimic Mimics an ombamo or a gallu, do we know what state they enter in?

[lyric oracle]

See? Told you you’re doing better than most ❤️

[wise oyster]

nope, no clue

[frank crane]

lying in bed wide awake great now i cant stop thinking about this

[wise oyster]

Justly might know

[lyric oracle]

Dammit you were my one hope Van you were meant to bring balance to the knowledge, not leave it in darkness!

[wispy rune]

Probably calm state

[wise oyster]

I'd nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

[lyric oracle]

That would be SUPER dull if only always calm 😭

[wispy rune]

Well it wouldn’t enrage until you use protective gear..

[frank crane]

Do mimic's copy other ghost things when calm? Or is it only when they 're hunting?

[lyric oracle]

A normal gallu no. But Thayes aren’t randomly aged either.

[wise oyster]

yes, they copy other ghosts' traits outside of hunts

[wispy rune]

They copy other ghosts every 30 seconds after the first min of the door being opened

[wispy rune]

The Gallu would be Normal until you enrage it I had a mimic mimic a Gallu before

[ocean kettle]

do we known when the game will go down for the update maintenance?

[frank crane]

Good to know, so then its just a matter of eliminating things. But that makes it easier if we see more than one ghost ability being active at different times then its most likely a mimic

[wispy rune]

About 11hrs or so

[ocean kettle]

thank you very much

[lyric oracle]

I mean you had one example then? :p

[wispy rune]

More than likely

[frank crane]

beautiful

[wispy rune]

Yes obambo I couldn’t tell yah

[lyric oracle]

It’s why I asked, like the Thaye example; they don’t follow strict start up rules.

Be hella hard to test though.

[wispy rune]

It would be a normal thaye not aged

[lyric oracle]

It’s a random age.

Is why I brought them up.

[wispy rune]

Are we sure? I can pay attention & test that for yah

But I do know the Gallu one

[lyric oracle]

It’s on the wiki due to testing. And you have one gallu example :p

[wispy rune]

Okay then I will try to look out for it next time!

[lyric oracle]

Oh wait “If The Mimic imitates an Obambo, a random state will be selected.”

[wispy rune]

Yes

I’d assume that would be random

[lyric oracle]

They don’t mention Gallu so prolly normal then 😭
