Lookout broken?

[moikka434]

Last game I was a Lookout, so I claimed Survivor D1 in a hope that investigator would investigate me. Fortunately a investigator named Bob whispers to me D2 asking what my role is as he can see that I'm a town protective. I tell him that I am Lookout and will start watching over him for the next nights.

So our teamwork lasts 2 days before mafia attacks him, but as he is found dead outside his house I realise that I was not informed that he was visited by anyone. I was transported that night so it might explain why I didn't see anyone visiting him but I thought transporter doesn't block you from visiting?

As I die some days later I find out in the dead chat that the investigator was also transported the night he died, but in that case I should have seen the transporter visiting my new target who the transporter transed with the investigator instead of seeing nothing.

Lookout is not broken, I've had several recent games where I got an accurate picture of who visited who. Transporter does not block from visiting. Were there 2 transporters in the game. It's possible you two got transported by different transporters and you watched the location the other transporter transported the investigator out and the new guy in. You might've been transported to just a random house by a different transporter, who decided to transport 2 random people that night, so he transported them.

Are you getting sick of the word "transport" yet :P

Seriously though, were there 2 transporters? What gamemode were you playing?

It was all any and there indeed was 2 transporters, but if I recall correctly Lookout should also see the transporter visiting the target as transporter visits both targets who he transports with eachothers so I should have seen atleast someone visiting somebody.

Are you sure you clicked on the button that night? I've had several games where, when I'm doing the same thing several nights in a row, I forget to click on it one night.

Yes, I definitely watched him as I double checked the chat log next night and because of that I forgot to watch someone that night.

I'd recommend upgrading from Outlook. Most people don't get messages on Outlook anymore these days.

Okay, speaking seriously people can visit themselves. Most notably, bodyguard or doctor will visit themselves when they use their self protection. An arsonist will also visit themselves if they choose to ignite their targets that night. So if you see someone visit themselves and people die to the arsonist that night, you've probably found the arsonist.

This doesn't apply for veteran or survivor however since they're abilities cannot visit others, albeit you'd know if a veteran alerted when you looked out. :P
