I wish the game was slightly more explicit about the crucifix, since it's involved in an objective. Pretty much every other item/objective is reasonably self-explanatory (gently caress sinks) but it's just not intuitive that crucifixes need to be placed on the ground to work. Especially since the game - by design - gives you no feedback at all that a crucifix has actually done its thing. And with the ghosts properly roaming now, crucifixes are substantially less effective protection (and harder to get the optional objective for), so some text in game to explain how you use the crucifix might be fine.

Greader posted:Yeah, OBS seems like the general recording software of choice these days. In re: Crucifixes - if the ghost paths over the crucifix while hunting it will stop the hunt. The best way to use them is to chuck one into the rooms on each side of the haunt room, and run into those rooms when the hunt starts so the ghost has to path over the crucifix. Keep in mind there is at least one ghost that ignores crucifixes, and most ghosts have a second method of stopping their hunt.

Keep in mind there is at least one ghost that ignores crucifixes, and most ghosts have a second method of stopping their hunt. This is almost entirely wrong and why I think the game needs to explicitly explain how crucifixes work, as it can be difficult for people to understand how crucifixes operate. - Crucifixes do absolutely nothing when a hunt is in progress. Once a hunt has begun, that's it, the crucifix can't save you. Crucifixes do not end hunts. This is because: - What crucifixes do is block a hunt from starting. If the ghost is standing within a certain radius of a crucifix when it attempts to start a hunt, the crucifix (silently) stops the hunt from occurring. This radius is larger for banshees. - This is based on where the ghost itself happens to be located. The ghost is invisible most of the time so you can't easily get an exact fix on its physical location - tools like the motion / IR light sensors can help you track the ghost's movement but there's really nothing you can do if you, say, place a crucifix in the doorway to a room and the ghost decides to start a hunt while standing in the far corner, outside the crucifix's range. - All ghosts have absolutely zero issues walking over crucifixes to murder the gently caress out of you once a hunt starts. - Most ghosts do not have a way to interrupt their hunt early.

This is my experience with crucifixes as well. Are there actually specific ways to interrupt a hunt, other than death.

I think smudge sticks can for one ghost, but if you use them for the others the ghost can't see you for an extra few seconds if you light it in hunt mode

I remember that generally throwing the crucifix in the middle of the haunt room is pretty good at nailing its first couple hunts, as the ghost usually fucks around in proximity to said room. An extra important note is that the crucifix can only stop 2 hunts. Once it has, the crucifix disappears, and you can bet by then the ghost is pissed and will start again shortly.

Stevefin posted:I think smudge sticks can for one ghost, but if you use them for the others the ghost can't see you for an extra few seconds if you light it in hunt mode This is correct, though the range on the smudge sticks is a bit weird. I think it's Yurei that actually get delayed significantly by smudge sticks. All other ghosts, they literally give you seconds. Maybe enough that if you light the smudge stick and book it, you can survive the hunt, but it's never really worked for us. Also smudge sticks will only divert the ghost from the person with the smudge stick, so if you're in one of the smaller locations or near the rest of your team, you're pretty likely to divert the ghost right at someone else and get them killed instead (which, it should be noted, is both acceptable and hilarious)

Here's an example of what the sage sticks can do to the ghost, and also an example of their limitations.  https://clips.twitch.tv/AbstemiousCuteMosquito4Head Baron Fuzzlewhack fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Nov 12, 2020 |

Most of my experience with "get a hunt stopped by a crucifix" is i'll pop two down to cover a fairly large room, call the ghost a motherfucker and it'll break both of them before immediately trying to murder me.

Since that moment, my new tactic for getting a photo of the ghost on the houses/farmhouses has been to hang with the photo camera person and bring the ghost to a more open area and light the sticks when it gets to close. We still end up having to run away, but it gives us more time/tries to get the photo!

I prefer to snap a photo immediately before the ghost murders me. I do it for the team.

I sufficiently motivated ghost only needs a minute and a half to be ready to smoke your rear end through two crucifixes.

I got the poltergeist to break the crucifix! the ghost was described as only responding to people who are alone so I threw the crucifix down near-ish the doorway, took the tiniest step inside the spawn room while my teammates went into different rooms, and said the ghost's name a bunch of times. the ghost made the phone ring and eventually it turned the lights off and I heard a heartbeat and I shrieked and booked it. haha. when everyone came out of hiding, I noticed that the crucifix disappeared.  i was designated as the spirit box person this time. i got the ghost to respond quickly when i was in the spawn room, in the dark, and met the response conditions (i.e. "responds to everyone," "responds to people who are alone")

they really need to add like hats and poo poo for money sinks. Make them cheap and lose-able like items. Give me a newsie fedora that the poltergeist can knock off of my head to spook me let me spend a bunch of money to put a hat on the ghost

God, I loving love premium cosmetics in games. Let me choose to spend real money to support the developers and get little blinglings that give me that sweet serotonin spike.

I was thinking more like using in-game money to add temporary hats to your inventory but I wouldn't mind throwing the phasma dev a couple of bucks for some sweet sunglasses. If premium cosmetics did well maybe it would be more incentive for him to stick around. e: looking at the dev's Trello I notice at some point he moved the Prison Level from the "backlog" section to the "in progress" section so hopefully we'll see that soon.

I've been playing this solo and just unlocked intermediate difficulty. Had a very rude banshee the other day on amateur that immediately went hunting once the 5 minutes were up, without me even making any noise. Just once, though, I'd like the ghost to be haunting the couch and do nothing but mess w/ the tv and maybe the fridge. Love the atmosphere, medium maps can take way too long if I'm unlucky and large maps are a big nope. Is the coop discord for this active and does it have room for a relative newbie?

And yes, it is very active. Generally you see at least one group going a night or every other night at least. Grab the role and say hi, generally you will get more success in the evenings getting a group rolling though.

I got what people call a haunting in the van. Couldn't hear anything. I thought the van was a safe spot. I was getting bitched out so much from the group when I could hear things again.

I was getting bitched out so much from the group when I could hear things again. If you mean the ghost was hunting, then yes you should be safe in the truck barring bugs or a radical patch change. During a hunt the radio (global) chat doesn't work and thus you're stuck watching any cameras that might have been set up while waiting to see if someone stuck in the house dies. If you happen to be stuck in the location during a hunt yourself don't talk! It just lets the ghost know where you are.
