phasmo-chat

[last drift]

Bill gates most definitely started at the very bottom.

[zealous flame]

Im also curious how the game got broken on different aspects. We're getting so many bugs, just in the last 2 days

[wanton ether]

Where is that?

[last drift]

FIXES
This is the list of fixes and changes coming with the May 12 Alan Wake event. This list is still growing so please keep an eye out for more from the Devs.

Please note: official information only comes from Tom, DK and the Phas socials. These notes are from KG directly.

#general-chat message

[gritty dove]

On pc, find the pin icon up top, on mobile, click the channel name, and then there's a tab for pins

[balmy sundial]

then go "don't bwame us for the quality, it's still in eawly dewelopment🥺" after like 6 years

[main bough]

coding is crazy. sometimes a dev will add something to a game and something completely unrelated just breaks. it happens in a lot of games. sometimes things that were fine for several updates get hit somehow all because someone added a funny little hat or something

[visual girder]

all in all devs should never release something that isn't ready no matter the pressure, rockstar understands this very clearly which is why they succeed and will probably make billions more with the new game, nobody wants to pull a no mans sky but phasmophobia is sure tryna compete with them rn

[balmy sundial]

i mean, yeah. but that's why you play-test before releasing something.

[worn glade]

DS2 has a rock floating somewhere they can't move or remove
The whole game crashes

[vocal sleet]

Lots of people who have never developed sure have a lot of opinions on how to develop with zero grace given that sometimes shit happens, and when it happens your number one priority is to fix it, which they are and are transparent about. Y'all are wild

[dry root]

Thats the funny and super irritating part of coding. One wrong comma placement, one wrong letter, something spelled wrong, a wrong number and everything can easily fall apart

[last drift]

Let's not use the word early access

The game is still in development and hasn't been fully released.
We appreciate you helping fund our development and being a beta tester. This is part of the jank that goes with a game that's still in development
We've enjoyed this game for over 4 years.Can you please just give us three days to fix our bullshit?

[last sentinel]

Yeaaaaahhhh so starting at the bottom doesnt mean that jank updates are excused because you were once poor. At this point they've got the budget

[last drift]

I'm sorry , but have you seen the state of windows today?

[main bough]

I forgot about the DS2 rock. my favorite dev stories are the ones about random objects in a game that the entire game is dependent on and they can't even figure out why

[last drift]

Like , let's not do this because I will sit here and trash windows all day and they are the monopoly when it comes to operating systems

[visual girder]

are you a dev

[last drift]

For phasmo no for other media and software?yes

Right now i'm developing a battle monster idle game. I've been chasing the same goddamn bug for the last two months.

Is it because I'm a shit developer?Is it because it's still being developed and not released?

Probably both , but I can still rely on the fact it's still in development for why my shit is jank.

And honestly I am a shitty developer. I'm still learning all the coding and all the languages and it sucks , but i'm trying

[balmy sundial]

i mean, that's why i said the quality would be acceptable from a single dev. you're not a multi-million-dollar company with lots of employees

[vocal sleet]

You know you're a developer when the first thing you do is go why do I suck so much ass at developing lol

[last drift]

I don't think millions of dollars is going to make me a better developer

But I'll take the money...

[balmy sundial]

no, but having employees would certainly make it easier

[last sentinel]

My opinions on an OS dont mean much so I'm not even gonna try to defend it. But it is the monopoly for some reason, and it did have humble beginnings

[visual girder]

if i was in the devs shoes for this game and you can disagree with me here idm, i'd make it so you have to go into game versions on the launcher and enable this update then announce a playtest, it'd not only help find these bugs but people wouldn't be forced to play with the new models until they were fixed and ready

[last drift]

Not necessarily. Especially when one of your employees is literally trashing the rest of your company

And in fact , if your statement of having more money and more developers means better development

Then why all of this rage for this update

[main bough]

I do agree this update being something you manually opted into would've been a lot better. Steam's beta system would've been perfect for it and a lot less community blowback

[versed hamlet]

Absolutely

[balmy sundial]

and in a normal company an employee like this wouldn't have the job anymore, or at least be demoted to a lower position 😭 keeping a guy known to do shit like this in a director position is a disaster waiting to happen (which, it just did)

[worn glade]

I'm not saying people's opinions are invalid, but this chat has been all about management of the game, shouldn't the mods of this platform not make a channel where people can talk about it, so this chat remains talking about the game as people are playing it?

I just feel like we're pissing into the wind a bit too much, here

[last drift]

I think you're starting to agree with me.But you don't realize it

[frank crane]

Its the fact that he threw his team under the bus and didnt take any blame for it

[balmy sundial]

i do think we agree, sorry if i'm coming across poorly
i'm trying to say that having so many employees, that you choose to hire, so hopefully they'd be competent, working under competent main devs, should prevent an update like this being released
it wasn't the work of a single unexperienced person, it went through lots of people, was made by lots of people, and approved by the guys in charge, and that's a sign that they're not using their resources and staff properly, because they're incompetent and keeping a person known to fuck up in a high position

tldr they have all the resources needed to make something good, and still fucking it up

[rancid shuttle]

guys but only I have problems with lag co new update? And then the horrible animations? my objects disappear...

[frank crane]

hopefully will be fixed on the 12th

[granite sedge]

Hey im new is there a place I can talk about a bug im having with the game?

[rancid shuttle]

It's a shame

[ocean trench]

Don’t think they bothered testing it. Lots of people making excuses for them, not sure why I just want my in game moneys back for the shitty clothing I bought. Hopefully they revert this doggy poo.

[frank crane]

You can always check the Bug Reports section. Whats the bug issue?

[frank crane]

Unfortunately they wont be rolling back the update instead will be making adjustments as time goes on. But still idk how thats going to fix these horrible avatars and their terrible clothes

[rancid shuttle]

all this time for a badly done update, at this point it is better that they go back with the update and do a job well done!

[ocean trench]

🤮

[frank crane]

The avatars feel low quality and suffer from having the same face

[worn glade]

"Excuses" - some people are just more rational

[granite sedge]

My game crashes when I use the van monitor after the first few minutes of gameplay

[pine oar]

awwsad the annoying radio man is back lol

[pallid shale]

good morning everyone, is there any update about this horrible patch? some news or anything? and dont tell me next patch is on 12 of may. is there any other news?

[ocean trench]

There is rational and then there is obedient slop eaters lol. It’s okay to be real about it.

[worn glade]

Hmm.. that's not something I've heard before, have you done a file integrity check?

[frank crane]

I would check #known-issues see if its there, if its not you can then go to Troubleshooting and create a post there and describe the issue your having

It may be an issue that many players are having and that they plan to update hopefully on May 12th

[mossy mason]

check pins for the changes on the may 12th patch

[worn glade]

My rationale is - it's bad now, and i have my fair share of strong opinions
but there's no point in crying endlessly about it, here, the devs don't come here -
There's a patch coming the 12th and until then there's nothing we can do but grind our teeth or not play until then

[frank crane]

I understand its not ideal but unfortunately it is what they're going to do from here on out :/

[burnt ferry]

Oh the devs dont come here? This channels useless then

[worn glade]

Yes, they've already stated that nothing here on discord reaches the devs

You're better off leaving a descriptive negative review on steam, that reaches their desks

[burnt ferry]

Damn, I thought maybe they were interested in what their loyal players thought Thats dissappointing

[frank crane]

That's not entirely true, they do check their official discord to gather player feedback, bug reports and other technical issues. just they dont really respond

[ocean trench]

Fairly obvious they rushed this update for 💰.

[frank crane]

The most likely rushed it for the Alan Wake Event next week.

[gritty dove]

The developers open feedback channels at their discretion whenever they choose. With channels you should usually not expect feedback to be seen

[ocean trench]

Yep, the collab they making 💰 off of

[coarse wren]

How do you access the journal in vr right now

[pallid shale]

they rush the update to force you to play this horrible update in a limited time event that if you dont play it with bugs and horrible optimization, you will lose it forever!

[gritty dove]

Mind it is a free collab. It might get Alan Wake fans to buy the game, but the event itself is free

[pallid shale]

you have to look forward, and grab it by your left hip. dont look down, if you do it, you never gonna be able to grab it

[frank crane]

They already got our money when we bought the game. So it really doesnt make a difference.

[coarse wren]

I really hope the criticisms make these devs lock in cause I missed this game

[gritty dove]

Feel free to check the pins for the current list of fixes. Mind it is not officially published yet and subject to be added to before Monday when it's published

[naive terrace]

i was playing edgefield and bone was in downstairs hallway, i leave after i do everything and i click debriefing and it says bone was in garage..

[dry root]

The event isnt even out yet and they already got a list of fixes coming for when they do release it

[naive terrace]

yeah

[ocean trench]

Just going to leave a bad review till it’s fixed. Phas is mad stinky right now

[coarse wren]

I think the big thing is people just want more substantial updates that dont have even less content than the new minecraft updates

[zealous flame]

Depends, different circumstances and situations. Days ago not even one bug, but yesterday and today I got 5-6 bugs very quickly and random

[odd vale]

The ones who sent death threats and said slurs, yes.

[worn glade]

The fixes aren't for the event
But i am worried that the event will have issues now that they're focusing on the hotfix

[frank crane]

I think people had high expectations and were let down by the update and in the heat of the moment were reacting with more emotion.

[frank crane]

There were death threats and slurs?! oh jeez

[last drift]

Oh yes

[frank crane]

oh my god

[pallid shale]

thats true, they made a huge mistake for an update people been waiting for years, just imagine the new bugs a new event with only 1 month of preparation would bring

[split saddle]

Wasn't it planned since 2022?

[last drift]

People were threatening to do things to the offices and the employees. Very graphic

[naive terrace]

game about identifing ghosts btw

[odd vale]

Sadly, yes. I was fortunate to miss most of the initial chaos but even yet Discord staff got some hate.

[split saddle]

I mean people will obviously have high expectations

[last drift]

They had an idea that this is something they wanted to do back in twenty twenty two. There's a difference between planning it for 2 years And having an idea about wanting that to be in your game , from the very beginning

[ocean trench]

I thought the offices burnt down a long time ago? Didn’t they have to pause development or something for a year to rebuild?

[gritty dove]

I think the thing to keep in mind there is that this update is part of that expected larger updates. New models and animation system were needed as something to build on for horror 1.0 I bet

[worn glade]

The criticism is fair, but a lot of people are overreacting, too,
Death threats are never acceptable, even if any of them happen to be French

It's good to be critical, though, we all want the game to be fun, and this patch is making that difficult

But some people call the game unplayable which i think is a huge exaggeration

[last sentinel]

Who tf death threats over a video game. Touch grass. Jfc

[frank crane]

It was talked about in 2022, and then it wasnt added to the road map til 2023, but it was still uncertain of its release date, then in 2024 it was on the radar and in 2025 it was officially on the Road map for a late release of 2025 but got pushed into 2026

[last drift]

Ha no..
The building caught on fire and none of their office areas were directly affected.However , they were prevented from being able to go to their office and even work on the game for like a month or longer

[coarse wren]

Can't imagine the level of depravity where you'd actually want to kill someone over a video game and I can't believe this is more common than you'd think

[last sentinel]

Seek help

[last drift]

Because They promised console release, and then they pushed it back.Because sony rejected the map

I don't agree with the reasons i'm just telling you what they were

[versed hamlet]

Just read the bio, waste of time

[gritty dove]

I can honestly say the amount of vitriol I have even gotten in several volunteer moderation positions is horrible

[last sentinel]

Yeah good shout

[coarse wren]

I would not moderate a discord server with a 10 mile pole

[last drift]

And I made jokes that it doesn't surprise me that it was a bunch of playstation players who were making the threats.

[frank crane]

Its a tough position, you guys are volunteers and have 0 connections to the developers.

[mortal bane]

is there anyone who will play phasmo with me and try get lots of levels?

[last drift]

I don't think discord lets you get that high.

[prime elk]

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

[last drift]

I'm pretty sure they do get a lifeline to the development team.But it's not like the bat phone

[last sentinel]

Mods=devs. Dont you know?

[pallid shale]

so, on monday, a day before the event, we are expecting any news at all?

[frank crane]

Ive been in their position, hell i am right now in a server and the amount of damage control and communication and patience needed is a god sent gift.

They're here as volunteers and I can safely assume that there is a Staff Only channel where discussions are happening what they entail i dont know

[odd vale]

Check the pins for the message that has fixed and changed coming.

[last drift]

Honestly , I hope the mods at least get some free swag. Like they couldn't just ship you the board game.For instance?

[pallid shale]

so, nothing new yet

[odd vale]

The list isn’t finished yet

It’ll keep growing.

[wise oyster]

don't edit that. "mess" belongs in there

[odd vale]

lol

[frank crane]

the 12th will be a new update but the list hasnt been updated yet 🙂

[pallid shale]

aaaaaaaaa ok, that makes more sense

[odd vale]

Technically mess is still there within the word message lol

[frank crane]

Just keep checking back and check the #known-issues for any updates or changes to the list 🙂

[odd vale]

Pretty sure the pinned one has even know than #known-issues does

[remote mortar]

can u tell which games have access to stats on profile? if uk

[frank crane]

The pinned might be the same right now but the Known issues will see updates as time goes on 🙂

[round basin]

Do the devs play their game?

[remote mortar]

no they have us beta testers

[round basin]

Lollll

[drifting dust]

I know DK does

[frank crane]

That i wouldnt know 100% unfortunately

[wise oyster]

(end of list)

[swift nymph]

I am gonna bet my money that they just look through the screenshots of the update instead of testing it

[remote mortar]

ah k fine np

[last drift]

I'm pretty sure someone says CJ plays the game, but no one ever sees him do it.It's not like he streams or anything

[remote mortar]

lmao

[round basin]

I’m actually confused who green lit this

[charred jetty]

maybe he plays privately

[whole egret]

He plays with Insym occasionally

[wise oyster]

Seems like playing with Insym is the most he gets hands-on anymore

[last drift]

(( That's the joke lolol ))

[thorny shard]

h

[barren warren]

What about when CJ plays with insym and psycho

[whole egret]

[frank crane]

how often is that though?

[last drift]

... That's my fault.I didn't end it with the sarcasm tag... i forgot to do that

[swift nymph]

we'll get used to the jank if we'll just play more!!!

[barren warren]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh

[last drift]

I think he just played with him last week

[remote mortar]

yeeee .. the bugs will vanish if we play enough

[round basin]

No like this isn’t funny jank this is almost unplayable

[frank crane]

was it with this new update?!

[wise oyster]

Very rarely in Phas anymore it seems. They usually get the "terrible trio" together to check out whatever new multiplayer game Insym is checking out

[last drift]

That's not exactly what he said. Like it.\nWas an overall shit response?But that's not exactly what he said he said you might forget , it was pretty janky and enjoy it

[frank crane]

Well that's an odd thing to do

[gritty dove]

I mean they're friends. People are allowed to play games for fun

[last drift]

And it's really , really cool that they can make money doing that

[drifting dust]

What people do outside of work is their free time

[whole egret]

People have friends?

[last drift]

Like Honestly that's probab.\nLy , one of the coolest things that you can do right now is being able to make money doing things you enjoy doing

[gritty dove]

I got shade for talking about baldur's gate this week. I don't even work on the game

[frank crane]

what are these friends you speak of?

[swift nymph]

100% , i've never taken into the account the funny bugs of the game that just look goofy instead of destroying your run, now it's just straight up a mess

[barren warren]

You dont? Kiiiinda cringe 🫠

[round basin]

Phasmophobia cope

[versed hamlet]

Don’t bring Astarion into this

[wise oyster]

Copemophobia

[gritty dove]

I would never. He needs to be protected

[remote mortar]

bugsmophobia

[frank crane]

i was gonna say, if you hate Astarion we gonna have problems lol

[swift nymph]

Having friends in the big 26 , pack your stuff pal 🙏

[wise oyster]

Phasmocopia?

[charred jetty]

too lazy to read the ToS can we mod phasmophobia?

[wise oyster]

no

[gritty dove]

No

[buoyant oak]

it's a bannable offense

[remote mortar]

ban

[remote mortar]

u can use reshade mod i think

[swift nymph]

execution in process

[charred jetty]

damn
Made in unity to be wasted

[gritty oriole]

Yo, sorry for crashing into chat. Did anyone also lose their previous prestige card after prestige (i.e. if you prestige to prestige 2, you lose prestige 1 card)?

[charred jetty]

no

[round basin]

Time to grind sledding game

[vocal nymph]

its such an easy game tho

[remote mortar]

wait what nope

[gritty oriole]

I seem to not find my prestige 1 card after prestiging in this update

[remote mortar]

ye try getting a jin on apoc 3 correct

[charred jetty]

do you really think every mod is designed to make the game easier?

[vocal nymph]

nope but im not surprised it happened lol

[remote mortar]

thats y i said u can use reshade mod

[vocal nymph]

in Phas? honey im Prestige XX, it aint hard lol

[charred jetty]

Unity is fully moddable would be cool if in some future the devs would add whole workshop support

[round basin]

It’s an indie studio games and the game is ea so don’t expect working updates

[remote mortar]

it comes down to patience and time if ur 20 then

[gritty oriole]

hoping they fix it lol, the "Role badge removed due to it not being unlocked" been bugging me everytime i open the game

[wise oyster]

Knowledge/skill is a big part of that equation, too. You're not gonna get to P20 playing Prof all day.

[drifting dust]

While this is true, most of the frustration is because we have seen what this team can do. And this isn’t what we are used to from them. It’s extremely frustrating when a company I have followed and played with since 2020 suddenly has a HUGE drop in quality

[charred jetty]

had that issue with a badge to unlock all achievements

[remote mortar]

bro there r people .. who r on p20 and cant do simple 14x properly

in this game lvls dont mean anything ..

[pine oar]

hmm should i dare to to Mp..

[wise oyster]

that doesn't surprise me. But there's a big gap between doing normal 0/0 games around 10x and 14x. And ofc CWW 1-hunt grinding is its own thing, but to do it efficiently you also need good ghost knowledge.

[charred jetty]

probably cuz there are multiple save file editors for phasmophobia that u can use to change every possible statistic as everything is stored locally and in steam cloud :steamhappy

[remote mortar]

what about people who boost thier acc to p20 ?

[wise oyster]

I didn't say they did. You said P20 requires patience and time. I only pointed out those aren't the only things.

[whole egret]

We condemn them

[wise oyster]

obviously I'm not talking about cheaters

[remote mortar]

oh noo u got it little wrong i mean getting a jin in apoc 3 require patence and time

[whole egret]

There's a few ghosts on Apoc that are absolute pains, like Mare and Jinn

[wise oyster]

oh lmao you're right, I jumped in at the wrong point. Never mind me.

[frank crane]

Deo is probably the most sought out ghost lmao

[remote mortar]

lol

[whole egret]

Literally xD

[lilac ore]

[frank crane]

lmao! we all cheer at getting a Deo! lmao

[vocal nymph]

I play on settings just a bit lower than 15x. I just put 100 player speed. i can play No Evi on any map and get ghosts most of time correctly

[whole egret]

Sometimes the best you can do is get your evidence and cancel out what the ghost can't be and make an educated guess

[lilac ore]

I love hantus

[whole egret]

You can see their breaths :3

[charred jetty]

what if i dont educate myself about Phasmophobia ghost activities?

[finite summit]

Then death is an easy thing to occur

[whole egret]

Then perish

[lilac ore]

You can slow them down if you have fire near by like a candle

[finite summit]

Wouldn't that still violate ToS for Phas? it's still cheating

[drifting dust]

That would be breaking the EULA pretty heavily

[charred jetty]

Where is the cheating part?

[whole egret]

I made a 0 evidence, 0 sanity 10x custom yesterday and realized I need more practice looping. I did it on Tanglewood so tonight I might do it on Willow instead, but it's all about getting better and learning

[charred jetty]

I like the campfire map

[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!

[wise oyster]

That's super cheating

[whole egret]

Yeah, that's a good one too

[remote mortar]

lol it got deleted or bro deleted it

[charred jetty]

No thats educating urself about Phasmophobia ghost activities

[drifting dust]

We got eyes too 😭 we don’t gotta call it out

[wise oyster]

There's the Cheat Sheet for that. Fully EULA/TOS compliant

[remote mortar]

ye i use it all time

[charred jetty]

But how is it EULA and ToS compliant if its a cheat sheet?

[odd vale]

Make sure to review the #rules on what is permitted to be discussed. Mods and data mining topics are not permitted. You can view the EULA at the bottom of the rules channel.

It doesn’t affect files.

[wise oyster]

b/c it's a reference guide. It doesn't look at or touch game files in any way.

[whole egret]

It's information you can gather by playing the game all bundled into one place

[charred jetty]

The file i said we could create is also information you can gather by playing the game

[wise oyster]

some of it would be pretty difficult 😏 but it's all been tested

[whole egret]

I have no ears I don't know what you typed

[wise oyster]

you were talking about hooking into the game files to accomplish that. That's a canyon of a difference.

[charred jetty]

I have no ears and i must hear

[charred jetty]

not hooking just taking a little peak

[odd vale]

That’s still not permitted. 👍

[charred jetty]

If i would still try who would stop me?

[whole egret]

Me. I am in your closet right now

[charred jetty]

I live in forest

[wise oyster]

The only thing I can say is this isn't the place to talk about it

[odd vale]

You decide to take the risk. Either way, it isn’t a permitted topic. As said above.

[remote mortar]

\ghost hunt 2 times on me then spawn far away when it not banshee, phanton , wraith on camp . lol

[whole egret]

A forest can still have a closet

[final sandal]

could have change room or just roam far..

[charred jetty]

doubt it

[remote mortar]

wow

[charred jetty]

i mean it can but wont

[sharp creek]

Just got home to try the update. It makes me genuinely sad to see the direction kinetic are taking phas

[charred jetty]

and whats so bad about this update?

[mystic walrus]

did anyone know what time for update drop?

[last sentinel]

There's not an update until the 12th

[odd vale]

They haven’t said a time for it.

[sharp creek]

Its just unplayable

[remote mortar]

between 1 am to 12 pm

[charred jetty]

thats ur skill issue
i played for 3 hours without any issues

[odd vale]

There’s not real time given at all.

[rain pumice]

Lets see, the animations are mostly garb, especially the switching ones that are so delayed, like 50 bugs, and much more

[last sentinel]

Janky? Yes. Buggy? Yes. Unplayable? No.

[remote mortar]

yup

[wise oyster]

with everything in a semi state of emergency atm, I think any time estimate not from the devs is a total guess

[charred jetty]

50 bugs which u read from steam reviews but u didnt encounter urself
also what would be the point of the animations if they would be instant? they must be delayed

[rain pumice]

Exactly. I've seen too many quit over it. I get that its completely garb, but every game has a bad update that they have to learn from

[pine oar]

Bug? No features

[remote mortar]

i mean ye .. its bad ? yes .. but its still fun for me

[charred jetty]

also bring back the fun door glitch

[frank crane]

thats how im feeling

[last sentinel]

Tbh. Making eye adaptation permanent on console is worse than whatever they did here

[rain pumice]

Most glazer ever😭 At least the other defenders gave points, you're just assuming I haven't encountered about 80% of the bugs😭

[remote mortar]

the only bug i dont like is candle

[rain pumice]

THAT one was torture for my Apoc 3 run. Could not see well

[charred jetty]

u cant say 80% of bugs cuz there are bunch of ones u cannot see that are still happening
and im not glazing im just saying many people say its unplayable even tho it clearly is

[valid flint]

why is apoc 3 now 99% reseting for objectives

[fossil obsidian]

the animations being delayed actually makes sense from a realism standpoint, every update has growing pains. give it a week before calling it dead lol

[wise oyster]

"unplayable" is subjective

[rain pumice]

Its still playable. I said too many are quitting over a bad update. Every game needs a bad update so they learn.

[wise oyster]

We just wished KG had learned before now

[drifting dust]

I literally can’t play the game because it’s currently causing extreme motion sickness

[charred jetty]

Every game doesnt need an bad update to learn they need a bad update so they can get the not touching grass fuckers out of the community

[rain pumice]

I swear half of the battle is resetting😭 It says case 1350 for me, but around 200 of em are resets😭

[last sentinel]

Forget apoc 3. It's an awful QOL change, and they shadow added it which makes it feel so much worse

[valid flint]

XD same here

[rain pumice]

Yeah, now people are trashing it😂

[odd vale]

[atomic leaf]

why is everyone so negative it’s a good update

[keen nymph]

you play vr?

[drifting dust]

Nope, this is flat screen

[charred jetty]

true

[odd vale]

Hey, Justly

[rain pumice]

Yep. PS5 user, I cannot see well

[wise oyster]

I hope this is their metaphorical "rock bottom" (it's already the worst month for reviews in the game's history)

[atomic leaf]

hey Mezzo!

[keen nymph]

alr bc if you did play on vr and you get motion sickness there is a setting for it

[wise oyster]

Yeah post the video you made yesterday

[atomic leaf]

AHAHAHAAHAHA

[odd vale]

I saw someone leave a review that had only 15 mins in-game lol. And it said “I used to be able to play okay high settings”

[drifting dust]

I used to play in VR but it’s been so neglected I had to stop

[rain pumice]

Well its not really the best. Id give it a 5/10. Some animations and additions are a bit good, but also half of em are completely botched.

[tawdry creek]

you gonna prestige?

[keen nymph]

k

[atomic leaf]

nah

[wise oyster]

I'm sure those exist. I've seen dozens and dozens from people with hundreds and hundreds of hours (and mine)

[buoyant oak]

it's a good thing steam shows playtime so reviews like that can be disregarded

[last sentinel]

Benefit of the doubt, maybe they had a second account

[atomic leaf]

unless they add rewards after P20

[rain pumice]

Yeah. Many alt accounts can just review bomb a game

[wise oyster]

Nah, do eeet

[rain pumice]

Why cap at 4k when there's no rewards after 20😭✌️

[odd vale]

I’ve lost faith in people, sadly.

[drifting dust]

Cheater bait

[atomic leaf]

maybe I just go to P69

[tawdry creek]

isn't the prospect of "L" in your lvl instead of XX appealing?
personally I'd like to start going over 100 after taking the L

[atomic leaf]

not that I don’t want to do that but i’m also 90m+ xp into prestige 20

[wise oyster]

One day they're gonna drop rewards up to 50, and you're gonna be kicking yourself.

[last sentinel]

I think its for the insyms of the game. The ones that enjoy the challenge of t1 equipment instead of having infinite money

[atomic leaf]

there is pros and cons with whichever way I go

[rain pumice]

Reset= all that xp down the drain

[remote mortar]

ass video camara glitch in mid hunt and ditn record and also sound recorder

[rain pumice]

Smudges don't work half the time, too

[last sentinel]

As it should be tbh. Anyone that's over xx100 knew the xp after that wouldn't count.

[drifting dust]

There’s still no reason for it to be 4000, I believe someone did the math and it would take 2 years STRAIGHT of grinding. No stops. Nothing. So it’s gonna take a LONG time for anyone to get even CLOSE to 4k

[wise oyster]

People were already floating the idea of infinite prestiges. Now we have them.

[atomic leaf]

it’s basically like going for 9999 it’ll never happen

[lime holly]

depends how fast you grind but yeah definitely awhile

[rain pumice]

Here's the issue, anyone at 20 wouldn't have considered that because it was previously max

[remote mortar]

good luck lol

[last sentinel]

Would you rather them add 20 at a time and let people get to 40-5000 before they add more?

[rain pumice]

Lol

[tawdry creek]

doesn't seem to stop u

[drifting dust]

I would have preferred they just didn’t change it at all

If you want T1 equipment, use T1 equipment lol

[atomic leaf]

i’m only 1/7 of the way to 9999 and that’s after 2 years of playing with this cap 😭

[remote mortar]

if he start xp grinding instead of apoc 3 streak maybe he could

[last sentinel]

Thats a critical thinking problem, unfortunately. Its not reasonable to expect that xx would be the max forever

[lime holly]

and 1/11th the way to prestige 4000 if all your xp transferred to prestiges at 1:1 ratio

[atomic leaf]

prestige 4000 soon trust

[rain pumice]

Anything past like lvl 1k just makes the xp for the next level like 25k😭

[atomic leaf]

i’m currently sitting at almost 59k per level 💀

[lime holly]

45k per level for me at 2930ish

[rain pumice]

Lol thats what im saying, 1 lvl is 20 no ev games😭

[remote mortar]

60k xp =more than 20 lvls

[last sentinel]

But it doesnt effect you unless you decide to prestige after 20. Why would you care about the new max if you're not interested in hitting it?

[atomic leaf]

I wonder if I only XP grinded over the last 2 years what level I would currently be

[drifting dust]

Because of the people we see currently in chat. It is not a “critical thinking issue” when you are told 20 is the max and all of a sudden it’s not

[remote mortar]

if u can go with the speed 5 days 20 prestige with a team .. u can actually do it like first time

[lime holly]

how many hours in total played over the last 2 years?

[rain pumice]

Maybe 4 or 5k cuz of the 50k+ xp per level

[atomic leaf]

I think I’ve played about 4k hours since the 9999 cap was added

[drifting dust]

“Hey guys we are making this thing and this is the limit” no one should think “oh well that’s not actually the limit”

[lime holly]

you'd be around 7450 assuming 100k xp/hr average

[wise oyster]

this is a situation where I think noting it's Early Access is actually appropriate

[atomic leaf]

speaking of which i’m about to hit 7,000 hours on phas 🙏

[lime holly]

which is only like a little over halfway to 9999

[atomic leaf]

holy shit

[rain pumice]

Btw just need an opinion from a professional, whats one of the worst no ev ghosts to get in your opinion?

[remote mortar]

if u grind 100k per hours u will take 2 years to hit 1.1b xp continous playing

[atomic leaf]

mare

[lime holly]

its assuming all 4000 of those hours averaged 100k xp/hr. so 400mil xp

[drifting dust]

Yeah I get that but saying it’s a “critical thinking issue” to think it wasn’t going to change is extremely disingenuous

[last sentinel]

What prestige are you currently, and how long have you been playing? It would never make sense for them to keep 20 as the max forever, and would defeat the whole purpose of the prestige system entirely.

[rain pumice]

Goryo

[atomic leaf]

should’ve kept grinding 🥀

[wise oyster]

I would agree, I missed that line

[drifting dust]

I have 0 interest in prestige and have been playing since December of 2020

[lime holly]

beating megapoc and nukapoc is a cooler challenge ngl

[last sentinel]

So you've never prestiged in 6 years and you care about them adding prestige levels?

[atomic leaf]

that’s so true tbh

[mortal bane]

can anyone boost me some levels please i need money but can’t find anyone to play with

[remote mortar]

bro what

[atomic leaf]

level means nothing in phas besides funny number to look at

[prime elk]

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

[vital salmon]

They fix the game yet

[rain pumice]

Who asked for a group???

[lime holly]

yeah

[last sentinel]

Real

[drifting dust]

Prestige hasn’t existed for 6 years, but again I made it clear it’s not for me, and that my main issue is saying people have a “critical thinking issue” for not thinking it would go up

[remote mortar]

the guy above asking for acc boost

[lime holly]

Theres no new rewards after p20 so its just for milestone

[remote mortar]

milestone for a waste

[rain pumice]

Yh

[last sentinel]

If you're offended at me suggesting you might lack critical thinking, then maybe look inward.

[odd vale]

[wise oyster]

idk why people think there won't be rewards past P20. Do you also think they're not going to add more customizations?

[odd vale]

Maybe we can just be respectful? Thanks.

[rain pumice]

....Really? You really expect people to predict that they will raise the prestige cap after STATING MULTIPLE TIMES that it's the cap? You've GOTTA be tweaking mate✌️

[vital salmon]

Is the game still broken

[lime holly]

Theres so many empty slots in the prestige badges section btw

[wise oyster]

he said the opposite, actually

[drifting dust]

It’s seriously a personal issue and a fault of mine really

[remote mortar]

wait let this fix thier bugs first

[lime holly]

Surely those arent gonna stay empty forever.

[last sentinel]

Since you asked so nicely lol

[atomic leaf]

the way they worded the patch notes kinda just made it seem like “hey yeah we won’t give you anything past 20!”

[wise oyster]

I'm not against that either. But that's why I don't accept, "I'm not prestiging b/c there are (currently) no rewards"

[remote mortar]

true

[lime holly]

Im only not prestiging cause i wanted to reach 3k and stopping at 2.9k is painful

[remote mortar]

they need to maybe 3D badges would be a cool idea

[vital salmon]

Guys guys whats with all the fighting we are a community we shouldn't be fighting amongst each other when the real problem is Phasmophobia and the Devs giving us a terrible update we are a to stick to together not fight each other

[lime holly]

after i hit 3k im prestiging immediately at level 100 until prestige L

[wise oyster]

But it's also something that can be easily added. It's not like a fundamental design decision. I read it as it's not a priority for them.

[tribal flame]

Nah

[last sentinel]

Personally, im not going to prestige past 20 until they add rewards (which i assume will happen sooner rather than later)

[rain pumice]

We stopped fighting a bit ago wdym

[tawdry creek]

that's what i'm talking about

[vital salmon]

Wild

[drifting dust]

But then you would be wasting the XP gained after XX-100

[rain pumice]

Btw, anyone think there should be a challenge for absolute veterans like Apoc 5?

[wise oyster]

This is actually one of the more respectful conversations this morning

[vital salmon]

Damn really shi my bad

[remote mortar]

megapoc exist

[atomic leaf]

Ig we’ll see in the future but even if they do wind up adding prestige rewards past 20 in the future I don’t mind having to grind for the rewards

[lime holly]

I do want some more other challenges added for rewards like the apocalypse. Can be different names though

[last sentinel]

That is an unfortunate side effect but hopefully it doesnt take thousands of levels before they do that

[vital salmon]

Continue

[rain pumice]

I mean an official one. Megapoc is a concept challenge by phas partners like Justly

[wise oyster]

We're behind you whatever you choose, king.

[drifting dust]

Just seems smarter that if you assume more reward would be added to continue prestiging to get rewards on release

[remote mortar]

only 1 person justly completed it lol

[atomic leaf]

ig if there is double xp next week I can try to get as close to level 4k as I can

[rain pumice]

I feel like if there is one, realistically they could make it brownstone high, make ghost speed 200, and also reduce your speed to 25

[lime holly]

I dont wanna try megapoc until 1.0 release

[wise oyster]

Or you could hit P30 😉

[last sentinel]

Eh. You're right, i also said i was never going to prestige and here we are. Lol

[remote mortar]

lol he can maybe

[drifting dust]

Was just using my critical thinking 😎

[wise oyster]

He was still world-first XX-999. No one can take that away

[atomic leaf]

the good old days

[lime holly]

I got a new xp grind method cooked up

[last sentinel]

Right on. Glad its in there.

[remote mortar]

possible to share it ?

[atomic leaf]

good i’m gonna need something new to use cause idk wtf is going with xp farming anymore 😭

[lime holly]

its a little slower than 14.47x but in multiplayer should still give 100k xp/hr

[candid widget]

every time i quit and reopen the game my settings get reset

[lime holly]

basically 14.47x but add all hiding spots and high hunt duration

[odd vale]

Like the video settings?

[lime holly]

bring way less items and grab as much hunting media as possible

[odd vale]

Cursor, too?

[candid widget]

and sound

[remote mortar]

ohh which map can u tell ?

[odd vale]

If you have Nvidia open up the app and then this setting to off.

[lime holly]

cww

[candid widget]

whenever i join the game, my graphics are back at max, my brightness is ZERO, and audio is muted, and cursor size is set to 0 and 0 opacity

[copper root]

sad you need to optimize a game that has graphics from year 2010

[forest lily]

THIS GAME IS SO BROKEN I JUST HAD A JINN COMPLETELY IGNORE MY EXISTENCE I EVEN WALKED THROUGH IT, HOW IS IT NOT A BANSHEE???????

[tribal flame]

Event?

[odd vale]

Check out the info with the image I posted above if you haven’t seen it yet.

[forest lily]

no chance it was a million percent hunting

[blissful hazel]

Why does the hair in this game look like cobwebs? XD

[candid widget]

testing to see if that works rn

[candid widget]

remember banshees and dayans are only women, check names and models

[brittle quail]

why can my friends not hear me at all on radio? its so fucking annoying

[remote mortar]

its bugged rn

[brittle quail]

For lobby owner or what? Cuz i can hear my friends and im the host

[solemn river]

Please please tell me they are adding in an inventory wheel bruh. 😭 i cant keep playing with these slow item change animations

[remote mortar]

voic recognition is bugged which caused ur voice to not register ig .. thus even spirit box dont work

[brittle quail]

that sucks, did you have the same issue?

[odd vale]

They are removing the animation cycling between items.

It’s mentioned in the pinned image.

[remote mortar]

nope cuz i play alone 🫡 .. or on discord with friends

[brittle quail]

ahh okay, but what did you do to solve the spirit box issue then?

[forest lily]

The name was Jerry

[remote mortar]

text recognition is the only way rn

[solemn river]

thankfully, i just had an unfortunate experience. Ghost hunted i took a pic and spammed triangle to switch items, then i died couldnt get to my incense in time

[brittle quail]

okay, good to know...

[remote mortar]

lol u should smudge and then take pic otherwise its super risky

[solemn river]

and the worst of it the ghost pic didnt even register bruh 😭

[odd vale]

If you wanna see the list so far check the pinned message. That image has a huge amount of changes and fixes. It’s still growing, too.

[brittle quail]

are you a dev?

[odd vale]

No.

[analog sphinx]

So we got asylum as the biggest map but when r we getting a mall

[remote mortar]

[pastel vigil]

[wraith oyster]

OMG i just played the game after soo long.tf is this!!!!

[mystic mason]

Yes, everyone. There is a list of fixes pinned that will be implemented on the 12th. A complete list will officially be posted on Monday that may include more

[carmine merlin]

This game is crazy now I first got it in 2021 and it feels completely different now

[mystic mason]

Same. It was quite the shock coming back after a few years lol

[remote mortar]

[wraith oyster]

[wraith oyster]

oh ok

[remote mortar]

top pinned

[wary aurora]

Guys, I have a glitch, it’s been going for months. My statistics say my favourite map is sunny meadows restricted even though I have played it once, and it’s the same for all my friends, and some are like level 13

[remote mortar]

lol same

[wary aurora]

Ikr

[remote mortar]

i dont think they gonna fix it

[solemn river]

same too lol

[odd vale]

This was listed in #known-issues and it may still be there

[wary aurora]

Oops

[keen delta]

The game feels even more early access than launch was

[lime holly]

earlier access 😭

[remote mortar]

i dont think its in the list

[keen delta]

Makes me worry about horror 2.0 after being pushed back by years

[remote mortar]

new update new bugs yaaa

[carmine merlin]

I cant imagine how hard it must be having to fix all those bugs

[odd vale]

It reminded me of this too one but it’s old, too

[remote mortar]

its a feature now ig

[keen delta]

Real

[wise oyster]

Stats Reset button when

[wraith oyster]

haha 🙁

[remote mortar]

y u want that ?

[lime holly]

Never i need to track my total money gained stat for phasmotiers 😂

[wise oyster]

b/c several stats have had various bugs over the years. The numbers don't mean much

[remote mortar]

ah

[vague thorn]

I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask, but how do I fix the reddish-orange screen? It won't let me click on the words in the game settings?

I already tried that, no click

[wise oyster]

it's 100% Eye Adaption. Your (lack of) graphics card doesn't support it.

[vague thorn]

We already checked my graphics card, it's normal. And it used to be normal...so Idk what's happening

[somber yacht]

can you send me a pic of how it looks?

[vague thorn]

Can I dm you?

[somber yacht]

yeah

[atomic leaf]

this has to be everyones most played map at this point 😭

[wary aurora]

Ikr

[naive viper]

anyone else having trouble seeing the camera screens? i mean i have vision issues but it seems smaller

[magic pelican]

we everyone like mental hospitals right? 😅

[lament wing]

It's been there since I started, I believe.

[honest zenith]

why am i not getting perfect ivestigation bonus

[ember igloo]

phasmapohia gelecek varmı=

[keen saddle]

Keep it English please

[shy bloom]

The character's feet are switched the right foot is the left one, and the left foot is the right one! Unplayable lol

[ember igloo]

Türküm la ben

I don't write in English, I write in Turkish. I am Turkish.

[keen saddle]

The #rules say you must talk english. Check out different languages servers in #info

[somber yacht]

什么

where is the chinese server

[ember igloo]

Okay, would half English and half Turkish be fine? 😄

[keen saddle]

No

[ember igloo]

okayyy

[abstract vale]

I always wondered, do you actually have to pickup the bone for perfect investigation? I did always do it just out of habit but never really knew if it was necessary

[somber yacht]

yes

[magic pelican]

can be half British half US

[ember igloo]

I'm a beginner and I'm slowly starting to make YouTube videos. Can anyone help me? I'm having trouble because I'm level 12 😄

[neat plume]

I died and instantly got booted from my game I cant even guess a ghost in solo before the game ends if I die??

[lime holly]

If you already prestige u always have custom unlocked

[last drift]

That's a known issue

It's also been fixed with the patch coming in.

[lime holly]

iirc custom unlocks at level 50

[fiery owl]

i hate that they pushed out the update because of the collab, they've also been working on this for so long and its honestly dissapointing

[neat plume]

Yeah fixed we'll see about that, man no way I got mimic'd in the big 26 💔💔

[lament wing]

Level 50 is the bare minimum for Custom Difficulties, but I don't know about the weekly challenge.

[candid widget]

whats the golden skull on sunny meadows mean

[scarlet plaza]

Apoc challenge

[clear sigil]

Wasn't this update on their 2022 road map? 4 years ago. Ouch.

[lament wing]

The Trophy? Beat Apocalypse Challenge 3 on Sunny Meadows.

[fiery owl]

exactly, the amount of jank and just the overall quality of the animations just makes the game worse in my opinion

like i get they're releasing a fix, but they shouldn't have even needed to, since they should've just done better playtesting

[candid widget]

like in the map selection area on the bottom left of the sunny meadows picture theres a golden skull

[clear sigil]

4 years for a buggy, and janky mess is never a good look.

[finite moon]

Does gallu speed up after i use smudge?

🤔

[pastel vigil]

i read the list of changes it doesn't address some of the stuff me and my friends have been experincing like

1. soft locking the game when using the spirit box options and pressing escape

2. the ghost hunting with crusefixes down

3. strange behavours of ghosts like a shade acting like a banshee and teleporting

4. nvg disabling if you kinda turn it on and off too much with both hands occupied

5. the ghost instantly killing players at the start of a hunt before lights flicker or it makes sounds

[solemn stream]

Yes. Also an enraged (fast) Gallu is only smudged for 4 seconds instead of the usual 7

[solemn stream]

Have you reported these bugs

[pastel vigil]

no how does one do this

[finite moon]

Does raiju slow down if I turn an active electronic off

[solemn stream]

Please submit any bugs you encounter when playing Phasmophobia via this link.

[solemn stream]

Slows down to regular ghost speed with regular los

[lament wing]

The skull means that you have a high enough multiplier that if you do the optional objectives and find out the ghost, you'll complete Apocalypse 1 or higher.

[zealous axle]

will the update get rolled bacK?

[split ingot]

L on the devs for not allowing any time to switch to the book to lock in your answer when you die….

[modern mauve]

That's being changed next week

[split ingot]

Yay thank you for the update 🙂

[gritty dove]

Check the pins for a list of what we already know

Mind it is subject to change as the full list will be published on Monday

[split ingot]

Perfect 😄

[edgy saffron]

Are spirits broken? Every time I get a spirit it acts like an insanely active ghost.

[pastel vigil]

yes i just submitted a bug report i suggest you do too

all the ghosts are not acting as they should we had a shade that was behaving like a demon

[edgy saffron]

Where do I put it? I don't see a bug report channel or im just being stupid.

[modern mauve]

Not necessarily, Spirits can be active, rng and such

[last dagger]

When is this hotfix releasing

[edgy saffron]

The thing is my spirit was eventing on me ALOT! I'm talking like 3 events in under 1:30 minutes (I smudged it) and throwing items everywhere, it did one near the campfire in camp woodwind and then just a second later it did another throw in the blue tent

[iron cairn]

12th

[lime token]

12th, alongside Alan wake event

[last dagger]

Ic

[tall island]

Can yall add SWAT into phas

[iron cairn]

Should just be a rollback tbh, they broke literally everything

[tall island]

so i do raids on the locations

[severe juniper]

anyone else facing a bug that ghosts dont hunt for 2-4 mins in 0 sani/0 evidence

[last drift]

YOURE A ROLL BACK

[solemn stream]

Smudging makes the ghost more active for the duration of the smudge effect

[last drift]

Jkjkjk im being dumb sorry.

[lime token]

That wouldn't be a bug, rather just really unlucky

[solemn stream]

Rng is a blessing and a curse

[tall island]

what level should i get at least to try apocalypse 3

[gray raven]

i just casually had a shade that was in a normal form after summoned in summoning circle instead of being in its shadow form xD

[tall island]

im 70rn

[hardy turtle]

My friends and I ran across a hacker in a public lobby last night, it was extremely obvious when he was Prestige 30. She couldn’t kick him, so we wound up leaving, and called her nasty names when she called him out for being a hacker. He was reported.

[tall island]

grinding so boring

[lime token]

Depends how confident you are, you could do it at level 14 when you unlock smudges if you really wanted to

[tall island]

whats the point of hacking in phas

[modern mauve]

It is more likely to be full form in the circle, the other form is a tell

[hardy turtle]

Exactly!

[iron cairn]

That's only a chance I think

[burnt ferry]

Yup

[tall island]

i should train on regular maps with the apocalypse preset

to know ghosts without evidences

[summer topaz]

I tried that on woodwind and used all my smudges on 1 hunt

[tall island]

tier 3 UV is so annoying

[lime token]

Woodwind is a horrible map for 15x (perfect games)

[summer topaz]

whats better?

[tall island]

glowstick better

[summer topaz]

i mean nobody wants to play with me so Im bored anyway

[lime holly]

everything else besides point hope

[hardy turtle]

I hope they fix the arms. It looks so weird when you are holding a flashlight and your arm sticks straight out, and when walking, it looks like you are ready to stab someone. Along with the arms flapping when grabbing/dropping stuff. Does not help my motion sickness at all 😭

[summer topaz]

Oh ok but are you like actually XX-2900+ Level?

[tall island]

do yall fw the tanglewood update

[lime holly]

yeah im XX-2937

[iron cairn]

I love the new Tanglewood

[tall island]

i dont like the basement

[summer topaz]

...

[iron cairn]

70s style houses are my favourite

[lime token]

I quite like it yeah, just not really enjoyable with this patch

[summer topaz]

Dms rq

[tall island]

some use video camera 2 instead of 3 whats the pros of 2

[lime token]

Visibility I think, I've never seen the appeal of the t2 over t3 tho

[tall island]

t3 hella big

[cobalt stream]

any news about a new update?

[tall island]

does it write the action on video camera when holding on hands or only in the van?

[iron cairn]

"Fixes" coming on the 12th

[lime token]

Update coming on the 12th, fixing issues with this update and the Alan Wake event

[cobalt stream]

great news for today, ty

[tall island]

who thinks dots t3 default setting should be steady spinning is annoying

[iron cairn]

event being overshadowed by bug fixes crazy business

[modern mauve]

Read the pinned messages

Lot of fixes, some changes as well

[silver cove]

i only like it starting moving so i can adjust the direction of the beam, otherwise i always use it static once its aligned

[tall island]

putting on floor with static gives full coverage

also having no cursed objects gives big xp boost but i never use cursed objects

i think they gotta lower the xp boost?

[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.

[tall island]

i never use the music box or the circle

only used cards, mirror and the toy

Only fun ones cuz i die from mirror and circle

what even is the roleplay mode in multiplayer?

[undone pulsar]

i lost a perfect game because the bone i think clipped out in the hobby room in 6 Tanglewood Drive

i looked every inch of the room and couldn't find it

[tall island]

They gotta let us play as ghost

[fickle pilot]

They have explicitly stated that will never happen

Nor will an asymmetrical multiplayer mode ever be added

[slender slate]

What happened in the last update? I haven't played in a while and have hardly paid attention but apparently the latest update was terrible

[split ingot]

Alright, pretty much done with this game until that update. Angering me far too much lol

[slender slate]

What's wrong with it?

[fickle pilot]

Many people are complaining, no real statistics on who affected and who isn't

But it seems console is absolutely the best off compared to PC.

Also @split ingot It's literally 3 days away, not the end of the world, be ready after the weekend

[slender slate]

I think he knows that, he's just not playing til then

[cobalt matrix]

the basement is literally the best part

[tall island]

hell na

[split ingot]

Yep excited for it. And what’s wrong with it? Lol a ton. Just looking forward to it being back to normal

[cobalt matrix]

bros not a train fan i see

[tall island]

too much detail

[whole egret]

I just had a ghost event on Nightmare and managed to get all five videos done in one go

[cobalt matrix]

bro its a basement. you expecting there to be nothing in the basement?

[jovial cargo]

Jello

[tall island]

Moving chair

[cobalt matrix]

why would there be a moving chair in the basement

[tall island]

idk better than train

[fickle pilot]

Yeah, but that's against TOS so don't expect advice or support in how to do it and if it breaks something then obviously you won't get support. Possibly even being banned from multiplayer permanently it caught modding online once the anti-cheat drops (single player mode is not offline mode. Also. So you know. single player mode is still online)

[cobalt matrix]

agree to disagree.

[finite moon]

So that the ghost can move up

[finite moon]

But I can still play single player without internet sometimes

[tall island]

make it so ghost can have guns

[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!

[split ingot]

The other day I had a revenant stuck on the top bunk on edgefield….he was doing cardio in place

[tame bronze]

I think it's a pretty risky move to release the bugifxes with the Alan Wake event... here's hoping they will test this update properly this time or the backlash in the community might even be greater

[finite moon]

Guns do like 20-30 dmg per bullet while fists do 100% hp

[ocean scarab]

i dont think that'd sit right with certain maps

[cobalt matrix]

My question is, why would you even want to mod this game? Might as well just play GMOD with a recreation of the phasmo map lmao

[tall island]

on sunny

[slender slate]

That's a bit of an odd way to look at modding a game I must say

[trail stone]

Well I have had no sleep for 24 hours now

[cobalt matrix]

I just don't see much purpose to modding Phasmo in particular except for cheating. Besides any visual enhancements.

[fickle pilot]

When you get disconnected from the internet the game enters an offline mode

But that's only when disconnected from the internet. If you have internet you are still connected to the servers even in single player mode (hence the access to events, leaderboards etc)

[tall island]

I mean community maps

[finite moon]

😳

[slender slate]

Probably just funny haha mods or something

[finite moon]

I see

[ocean scarab]

i dont really care for modding but i see how it could be fun, seen a video with like 20 players on tanglewood

[cobalt matrix]

Takes away from the game's concept though a bit doesn't it? The game isn't supposed to be funny afaik.

[woeful totem]

custom phrases to trigger the ghost

[proud rampart]

Dude I cant play any of the updated maps. Either I crash every time or im HELLA laggy

[slender slate]

That's for the player to decide though, they can make it funny if they want

[solemn stream]

I’ll remind you all that discussing mods is against the server rules. Please move on

[cobalt matrix]

I guess that's true.

[finite moon]

What does that mean one can disconnect, use mods then turn off mods and reconnect??? Js saying btw I don't use mods tho

[slender slate]

Not even the idea of what it could do?

[lusty yoke]

I was bobbing in phas lol

[solemn stream]

Anything to do with mods isn’t allowed here. It’s in the #rules

[tame bronze]

it is illegal to even think about that

[slender slate]

Yeesh

[proud rampart]

#phasmo-chat message 👀

[hardy pond]

i found a revenant in 5 minutes as a level 5 gg 🔥

[solemn stream]

Any further discussion about mods will be deleted. Move on please

[finite moon]

I get it ok

[fickle pilot]

I'm literally telling them how to avoid using mods...

[modern mauve]

How about them revenants?

[tame bronze]

you used the bad m-word

[cobalt matrix]

I don't think she was referring to you specifically.

[finite moon]

is 125% base ghost speed same sound as a fast dayan or obambo?

Or is it 150%

[fickle pilot]

And yet my message was the only one that got slapped lol

[clear relic]

THEY GONNA FIX ALL THE BUGS¿

[finite moon]

U were the chosen example

[finite moon]

@fickle pilot btw help me with this

[finite moon]

*features

[cobalt matrix]

That's rough. Anyways, thoughts on point hope?

[finite moon]

I am confused should I do 125% or 150 speed hmmmm

[cobalt matrix]

I used to think the same until I grinded for its badge.

[mystic mason]

As the AdmiralOfSalt, I greatly enjoy the lighthouse. And my "Ferryman of the Drowned" ID card

[finite moon]

Sounds salty

[mystic mason]

Extremely

[cobalt matrix]

I have a suspicion this guy likes the lighthouse.

[fickle pilot]

I think the cheat sheet has examples of each ghosts speed archetypes, even with the speed multipliers as an option too

[finite moon]

Ok

[ocean scarab]

i think point hope is one of the scarier maps, although it is just annoying if the ghost is on a higher level and you have to go all the way back down to grab 3 more equipment at a time

[finite moon]

They should add a lift

[mystic mason]

I enjoy how easy it is to lose the ghost and not die every game

[cobalt matrix]

I think this is what I experienced with the Diner.

[finite moon]

Why?

[cobalt matrix]

I don't know. The map is really sick and I like it but I like the other maps more.

I just don't really find the Diner as fun for some reason.

[finite moon]

Ohh. My favourite is tanglewood infact my 90% matches are ...

[fickle pilot]

I don't mind it

Lot of running is never fun, but I have noticed recently when playing it I too commonly get the very top or just under the top floor as the ghost room instead of the many other rooms and that's been a tad bland to do every time

[cobalt matrix]

I think it's the fact that I spent more time walking back and forth from the truck than actual investigating.

[mystic mason]

If its too high up then we're just investigating with whatever I brought up then relying on secondary evidence

[cobalt matrix]

I don't hate the map but I'm in no rush to play it compared to any others.

[nova sparrow]

Which ghost cant step in salt before 2 seconds have passed since it last stepped in salt, is it the gallu?

[fickle pilot]

Me and my friends really prefer the house maps and smaller maps like Diner

[finite moon]

Guys help 😔✌️

[cobalt matrix]

I love the house maps and I am really hoping they do Ridgeview and Edgefield justice.

[fickle pilot]

I think so yes

[finite moon]

What ghosts are less than 100% speed even at 125%

[cobalt matrix]

revenant probably when bro doesnt know where you are

[real swift]

guys is sm1 down to play phasmo a bit later?

[fickle pilot]

Deogen could count probably, when it gets close

[finite moon]

Hmm probably rev

[ocean scarab]

they should add a full on church map

[cobalt matrix]

revs are extremely slow. they're like stomp... stomp... stomp...

[sinful loom]

revenant, close by deogen, old thaye, twins 50% of the time, mimic if he mimics a slow ghost

[finite moon]

Fah it's a mimic 😭

[cobalt matrix]

[finite moon]

Every time I try 🙏 😭

[remote mortar]

then go zoo usain bolt

[fickle pilot]

Are you trying to play 0 evidence?

[finite moon]

Yes

[cobalt matrix]

i love 0 evidence when it becomes one of the 3-4 ghosts i can identify without evidence

[remote mortar]

i like when i get a moroi so fun

[cobalt matrix]

i can identify deo, rev, hantu, and wraith.

i identify the wraith when i die because it teleported on me because i forgot my crucifix

[remote mortar]

lmao

[solemn stream]

not raiju or thaye?

[finite moon]

I love it too but not when it's banshee or goryo

[cobalt matrix]

oh thaye too now i guess. i only just recently learned thayes.

[remote mortar]

moroi raiju and thaye ez

[solemn stream]

exactly!

[finite moon]

Thaye is tricky considering obambo

[cobalt matrix]

moroi is cracked with its speed so that one too

[fickle pilot]

Ah yeah. I never had fun trying to guess the ghost by ear

I usually just try guess "Oh, fast ghost? What are the fast ghosts" and then try hard to remember unique behaviours more

Blinking speed I also struggle with on the majority of ghosts

[cobalt matrix]

cant you theoretically just hide and move to see if it speeds up?

[remote mortar]

other than onryo , mara . shade , mimic yurei jin rest all r easy

[finite moon]

That's dayan

[cobalt matrix]

oh my bad gang

[remote mortar]

just hear the foots if one hunt its slow and other is fast and hunt time decreased its a ombambo

[cobalt matrix]

can you even identify a jinn in 0 evi? i feel like its absolutely busted

[remote mortar]

yes if the breaker is on otherwise roll out all ghost and go for jin

[solemn stream]

thaye doesn't have los, obambo does

[fickle pilot]

Reminds me one time I was sat in a match of tanglewood for about 2 hours going "Why tf is there no evidence, why is this ghost not giving anything"

Only to realise after leaving the lobby that the weekly was no evidence

[cobalt matrix]

i think generally most people dont play with breaker on in 0 evi

[finite moon]

Ohh 😯

[remote mortar]

thaye r easy as hell

[finite moon]

Easy for u 🫵😔

[remote mortar]

thay r 2.7m/s and obambo max 1.9m/s speed so much less

[cobalt matrix]

the ghost you were looking for:

[finite moon]

I see

[upper cargo]

Wouldn't you be able to put an emf on the breaker even if it's broken to see if the jinn tries touching it? Just like you can test for mare even without the breaker as well

[remote mortar]

if u get a super fast ghost . with los then moroi without los then thaye .. listen to cheat sheet foots for more info

[cobalt matrix]

how would you know if the ghost didnt just open/close it?

also that would require you to stay by the breaker which might be a death sentence depending on the map.

[remote mortar]

ah all ghost will give emf incuding a jin

[finite moon]

I see

[upper cargo]

I mean you would be able to hear it, but i think people that play with the breaker broken go to woodwind

[remote mortar]

a jin gives emf but doesn turn off breaker but the breaker is broken if we consider

[fickle pilot]

I don't think ghosts will interact with a broken breaker though

I mean, sure they can weirdly do light break events even with a broken breaker, but that's different

[remote mortar]

lights if turn off then no jin .. light dont turn off then maybe a jin

[remote mortar]

yes they can break lights with breaker broken

[cobalt matrix]

You can't turn lights on or off if the breakers busted..

[remote mortar]

no u can turn switch on or off .. but the light ownt turn on

[cobalt matrix]

[remote mortar]

if u r playing with breaken on .. jin is good and easy but with breaker off bro is one of the hardest ghost .. i never want him

[ancient garden]

is grafton farmhouse bugged

[iron cairn]

At this rate, fuckin' probably

[ancient garden]

grafton farmhouse for me looks like a ps 2 game

the ground doenst even load for me

[cobalt matrix]

oh?

[finite moon]

Anyone got good guides for 150 or 125% speed runs?

[finite moon]

Cuz u don't own the land

[lime token]

Honestly I'd just get used to hearing the speeds and being able to ID normal ghosts. The cheat sheet has bpm finders and stuff

[ancient garden]

holy no someone opened the door and how its making the sound over and over again

[finite moon]

I guess with time I will master it

[delicate yarrow]

is there anyway I can toggle the previous update ui? like crosshair and the mic symbol on the bottom left

[sacred patrol]

Can they just revert the patch and several other patches?
Keep the map changes and go back game version from 2021?

[whole egret]

They're not going to

[verbal urchin]

what a shitty update we got

[whole egret]

What a wonderful list of bug fixes we have

[odd vale]

Check pin for the list of fixes and changes coming in a couple days.

[delicate yarrow]

or is there an easier way for me to look at my left hand for the mic toggle? to check whether its on or not usually

[finite moon]

There's a button to check watch i think

[verbal urchin]

mezzomix talking shit, big time

[delicate yarrow]

oh sick, any idea which one? if yk that is, still thank you though

[finite moon]

😭

[verbal urchin]

error u feel me fam

[finite moon]

Don't really know but journal works too

[finite moon]

Not really. I don't have any issue with the update

[verbal urchin]

bruh

[delicate yarrow]

ohh I js realised that thank you pressing j lets me look at watch

[verbal urchin]

scumbag

[finite moon]

Yeah

[finite moon]

🫵

[delicate yarrow]

I wish I could toggle it to be a bit moer accessible, any idea where I can put the feedback?

[nova sparrow]

If i get under 1°C on thermometer is it considered freezing in game?

[finite moon]

Can u check the settings once ?? If something is there?

[finite moon]

below 0

[delicate yarrow]

yeah I will once again, I might have missed something, since im really new

[night trellis]

why is the update so BAD

[charred jetty]

do u guys play private lobbies with friends or troll randoms in public?

[finite moon]

Genuinely think push to talk would be better if u can get used to it because by the time u open journal to check u might die

[finite moon]

It's opposite for me. Friends troll publics are serious 😭

[charred jetty]

its not really bad its just what the society makes u say
u saw all the reviews all the messages and u suddenly think the update is a giant mess that actually when u play isnt really bad in anyway and there are barely any gameplay bugs that u can encounter

[finite moon]

Agreed

[delicate yarrow]

yeah 😭 thank you though, I couldnt really find any options either for being able to see my mic symbol a lot easier than my watch, I hope they could fix it by may 12 or after that

[charred jetty]

althought i like the old models more i think adding new ones isnt bad

[finite moon]

Or maybe see if u can see watch at 70-80 fov without opening journal

[charred jetty]

do u need to look at the watch to use vc?

[finite moon]

They should have kept the old ones too 🥺

[nova sparrow]

I got a picture of under 1 above 0 and it told me freezing temps in the media tab

[acoustic skiff]

Below 1 is indeed freezing temps

[finite moon]

Is it tier 1 thermo?

[iron cairn]

1.0 isn't freezing. 0.9 is freezing.

[nova sparrow]

T2

[finite moon]

For real??? i thought it's -ve temperature

[delicate yarrow]

no its jsut I get a lot of background disturbance and I forget to hold the button while talking so i use toggle, and sometimes I just cant tell if I have it off or onwithout looking at the journal now, used to have a symbol in the bottom left that made it easy

[iron cairn]

below 0 for t1

[finite moon]

Practice opening your mouth when pressing toggle once and closing when toggle again 😭

[acoustic skiff]

Ghosts cannot drop a room below 1, anything below is freezing temps

[finite moon]

I see so 0.9 guarantees a freezing

[iron cairn]

Yep

[delicate yarrow]

and are people not able to see the crosshair anymore at lobby at least? Im not really used to it not being there, I cant find the option 😭 im prolly blind

[bright sedge]

the game is playable but i still think it's a pretty bad update for the amount of time they had to do it, i have bad vision and i struggle really hard to look at the journal and some of the instruments, plus the amount of clothing the give you and the prices of them is pretty laughable

[delicate yarrow]

😭 I think its just a lot easier for me to try and get used to push to talk now, until they fix it at least

[finite moon]

I don't think there's a fix to it lol just adapt to push to talk

Edit savefile??

[delicate yarrow]

😭 well one can hope, maybe if they recieve feedback abt it they would put an option for ui in the bottom left like the old update

[finite moon]

Maybe

😭they should change it to cloud

[charred jetty]

yea cloud would be nice

[finite moon]

Isn't it against tos ??

[iron cairn]

def

[finite moon]

I see

[charred jetty]

idk is modding a savefile against
modding game is but savefile is different than the game

[delicate yarrow]

any idea on this @finite moon? thank you so much btw

[finite moon]

Don't know 😔

[gritty dove]

Both are bannable

Any editing of savefiles, cheating or hacking is against EULA

[finite moon]

What's eula ....

[gritty dove]

End-user license agreement

[bright sedge]

end user license agreement

[delicate yarrow]

aww 😭 thanks though

[finite moon]

I see

[finite moon]

U gotta adapt

[charred jetty]

if only there would be a way to detect a savefile being edited it would be nice but no its locally so theres none

[gritty dove]

And yes not only are you in danger of corrupting your savefile, but you can get banned for it

[upper cargo]

Phasmophobia

[iron cairn]

Yes indeed

[gritty dove]

People get reported every day

[zinc coyote]

[finite moon]

Btw the servers are hosted by the devs or steam allocates server ?

[iron cairn]

Girl is out here writing a how to guide

[charred jetty]

reported doesnt mean detectable

[gritty dove]

We can stop talking about it now. It's against EULA so we don't allow the discussion here

[finite moon]

Ok

[gritty dove]

Getting reported can still get you banned however

[upper cargo]

You'd seem capable of working with them to fix all that mess ngl

[delicate yarrow]

yeah 😭 will do thank youuu

[charred jetty]

i dont know where that ban would go when there would be no signs of save file editing cuz its stored locally on ur pc

[random axle]

Are we just supposed to "get used to the jankyness until it no longer bother us" because this is so bad I dont think im able to look pass it wtf were they thinking releasing it in this state I constantly get kicked from the servers alot of items are bugged and were just supposed to deal with it

[finite moon]

Maybe they have cloud 🤔 cuz how else do people switch pc and have same save

[charred jetty]

no im just saying moving to cloud would be nice
steam cloud is not enought anyone can disable it anytime they want

[iron cairn]

They're "fixing" things on the 12th with the event

[upper cargo]

Some games do detect changes to the files though, even if they're local. Not saying phasmo does cause phasmo... yeah but still haha

[zinc coyote]

Read pins

[gritty dove]

You don't have to know everything. Also mind things like badges are stored online

[odd vale]

The pins show a long list of fixed and changes coming. With more than that to come

[gritty dove]

But again, we can stop discussing it now. It is against EULA, it can get you banned and we don't condone the discussion here

[charred jetty]

why not store everything?

[iron cairn]

They really should start from scratch with the character designs though I doubt they will

[gritty dove]

You'd have to ask them

[upper cargo]

Does that mean we can't know if the ban is fair or just the result of trolls mass reporting? :(

[charred jetty]

would take time just to be hated on

[finite moon]

don't talk about it 😭 they will mute u to set an example

[random axle]

We can't criticize? And ask questions about it

[finite moon]

We are talking about different stuff

[gritty dove]

KG does review reports.

[bright sedge]

I think they're talking about the whole savefile thing not the update criticism

[zinc coyote]

Nobody said that

[upper cargo]

Okay :D

[gritty dove]

We don't ask questions about editing savefiles here, no

[charred jetty]

no this server ideology is totalitarian where the government or the party controls everything including society
u cannot criticize

[zinc coyote]

[finite moon]

😭

[gritty dove]

It's the official discord for the game. Obviously we can't allow discussion of things they don't allow you to do

[upper cargo]

I mean every server has rules, you accept them by joining haha

[finite moon]

I have a brilliant idea

[charred jetty]

my message has noithing to do with this server

[tame bronze]

straight to jail if you even think about it, friendo

[upper cargo]

I'm not even defending the devs or their rules cause honestly i think some of their rules(the devs rules regarding the game) and part of "their vision" are garbage but, just giving an insight that you "signed" for this

[late jackal]

Bro how to get rid of timeout

[prime elk]

If you are experiencing a technical issue in-game, please make sure to check #1413597137815470110 for a solution to your issue.

To report a bug or translation issue that is not already listed in the #known-issues channel, please create a ticket using this link or see #bug-reports for more information.

[zinc coyote]

You don't. Its an ongoing issue

[upper cargo]

Likewise, when you paid for the game and installed it, you agreed and signed for them to do anything they want and you can't complain haha, we need to start reading the stuff now before clicking "i accept" because shady things are everywhere haha

[upper cargo]

XD

[solemn stream]

Reading is hard thooooo /s

[charred jetty]

or u can just click accept without giving any of ur info by being private and secure
then they dont know who agreed to what

[zenith wind]

theres been like 50k messages of people critizing the devs larp larp larp sahur

[finite moon]

If one makes a server with rule that they are responsible for anything that happens to them and then stalk them and rob them. They can't sue u. Muhahahha muahahhahahah

[solemn stream]

Playing the game means you agreed to the tos and Eula. Hell even buying the game means you agreed to both

[charred jetty]

50K people will be put to trial today cuz they planned an assasination on stalin the Great Father of the USSR

[upper cargo]

I mean i usually don't read it all, but it's a general thing to know that every EULA/TOS has those rules when you sign/agree to them

[charred jetty]

do they know who agreed?
nope so doesnt really mean anything tbh

[zinc coyote]

The moment you press accept, you agree. Thats... how that works

[charred jetty]

can u read the message :>

[fading halo]

Has anyone else had spirit box be bugged to the point of not responding to any players? We have a moroi and it will not give spirit box but it is doing the sanity drain of morois.

[solemn stream]

…they know the steam/console profile of everyone who bought the game

[lilac surge]

yo i rmb having phas but when i search it up its not there and it says i have to buy it again. does that ever happen to you guys?

[zenith wind]

this gotta be another bait account like the last guy who got mad on people mentioning other games in this chat theres no way

[upper cargo]

They don't need to know, since they can just straight up ban you, as the result from breaking the ToS/Eula is "revoking you from this digital license of a product that belongs to us"

[solemn stream]

No? Did you accidentally refund or did you make a new acc?

[finite moon]

Maybe internet slow

[zenith wind]

steam family?

[lilac surge]

no

[charred jetty]

i didnt know u were suddenly limited to one steam console profile
also they still dont know u its a steam user not irl person u still dont know who accepted

[lilac surge]

last time i played was like 2023? maybe but i ccant find it anymore

[solemn stream]

Are you on steam?

Try force restarting steam through task manager

[lilac surge]

yeah

[zenith wind]

ah sure, let me just buy another copy of the game on another account instead of just... not breaking their tos, that'll surely get em!!!11!!

[charred jetty]

u dont need need to buy anoither one cuz on the first one they still dont know u

[upper cargo]

You're correct, but then again. They just have to ban you and their part is done, that's what the ToS and Eula say "if you fail to follow this agreement, we have the right to revoke this copy of digital license from you"

[zenith wind]

such a great comeback to give them more money of course

[dry root]

Y'know they collect the profile info of those that agreed right? Like, they know who agreed. And have a track of that

[finite moon]

They should add item skins like cod🫡✌️

[iron cairn]

corn

[zenith wind]

corn

[charred jetty]

they know the steam ids not real life names
right? u know?

[finite moon]

Dude it's autocorrect don't blame me

[iron cairn]

Nah a corn fit would fuck

[finite moon]

😭

[charred jetty]

it would fit

[dry root]

What does it matter? If your profile gets flagged for not obeying the EULA they can still revoke license to the account.

[upper cargo]

Stop ignoring my message. They won't sue you for breaking the ToS, but they can ban you as they have your account tracked, even if it doesn't have any irl stuff

[zenith wind]

fucking suck 😭

[zinc coyote]

Pickle outfit

[finite moon]

😭

[iron cairn]

Hot dog

[fading halo]

Has anyone else had spirit box just flat out not work after the update?

[zenith wind]

its a known bug iirc, just gotta wait for the update on the 12th

[upper cargo]

Like i said, in my opinion, these devs have a shitty stance on a lot of things, but we agreed to those shitty rules when we bought the game and pressed "I've read and accept the ToS"

[zenith wind]

and reported for talking about piracy

[charred jetty]

scary bro

[solemn stream]

Stop talking about this please

[zenith wind]

for sure yeah

[dry root]

Steam support aint gonna help you evade a license revoke/ban but aight

Anywho

[charred jetty]

yeah bro shit is bad piracy very bad

[upper cargo]

Sure, I'm just trying to give some insight to this user anyway haha

[finite moon]

Yeah guys privacy is bad
