Optional Member of your team witness a ghost event, EMF, Thermometer, and pictures NEEDS fixing

[リッツカーの中でのバ]

I'm well aware this is early access and i absolutely love this game. But the optional objectives need some tweeking. Several times myself or others have witnessed ghost events such as being hunted, seeing the ghost itself, using the oujia board, seeing objects be thrown at us, and even taking a picture of the ghost. After all that the optional objective for witnessing the ghost doesn't mark as complete.

As for the EMF and thermometer it just simply doesn't register sometimes for us as objective complete. Yesterday we had EMF 5 and it didn't complete the objective.

For the pictures its just wishy washy. taking pictures of evidence doesn't always work and the optional of taking a pick of the ghost is glitchy we've had visible pictures of the ghost and it doesn't mark it complete.

ALLLLLL that being said, i know i sound preachy and nitpicking at the game. I just really want to see this game thrive. This is such a unique game with endless fun. I absolutely love it and i can't wait to see whats next for it!

In terms of EMF i've had no issues, with thermo once I know the room i just hover around with it for a bit, as for pics i always take a bunch when it shows up and ghost events are prob iffy I know hunts don't count. All that said my gripe is with crucifixes XD

Hopefully a lot of improvements will occur soon :)

cruicifixes need to be on the ground and only has a 3 meter

Agree. A lot of time therm does not work - 10 cels and ghost event doesn't register.

The Thermometer occasionally flashes to a low temp for a split second which may lead you to think that the objective is complete. However my personal rule is that I need to wait for the temp to be below 10 for a good few seconds.

For example, I watch it flick between 8°, 9°, 7°, 5°..... THEN I know it's counted.

I've never had issued with the EMF. Even a weak signal of 2 usually ticks it off the board.

The real annoying one is the Crucifix (especially in the School and Asylum) and the Dirty Water.

Dirty water is too location-dependant and just down to RNG luck if the ghost's room is near a sink.

THat is very true but my main issue is with taking pictures of the ouija board and witnessing a ghost event. Witnessing a ghost event hasn't been consistent at all. Sometimes it counts when they hunt sometimes not. Sometime it counts when they breath in your ear. sometimes not. and the list goes on for the encounters.

I've noticed that sometimes the photos you take is not what your teammates see.

It seems like when you take a photo, you see what you see on your screen, but your teammates will see from the cameras POV. i.e if you go up against a wall and take a photo, you'll see the picture as the wall but your mates might see behind the wall.

Once my friend was going into the garage on Roadhouse as the ghost started a hunt and turned to take a photo of the ghost, the wall got in the way on his screen but for me and another friend we saw the room behind the wall and saw the ghost as well.

You can also see that all the pics have slight differences depending on who is looking at it. The bone is not in either of their shots while it was in mine.

Yeah the photos don't sync which is a bit of a shame and something I hope they can iron out in a patch. Sometimes my mates say "I've taken a GREAT photo, you need to see it!" and I see nothing, or the ghost isn't in it.

Right now we just look at the photo on the wall, ALT+PRT_SCR then paste it to each other in Steam but it's kind of lame. Would be nice to gather round the wall together and laugh / cry.

Hunts do not count as a ghost event, flickering lights or moving objects do not count as ghost events either.
Ghost event is seeing it materialize or making a noise without using spirit box. Growls, moans and the like. If you are trying to get that objective easiest way is to go around where the ghost is and say "show yourself" or "show me", you can get photos of it the same way.

i get that they don't count as a ghost event but they should because its an event involving the ghost hunting you. A good idea for an objective to seperate this would be " survive a ghost hunt" But having a vague "witness a ghost event" gets annoying because being hunted has counted every now and then as well as seeing it form in front of us hasnt counted. We've also had pictures of the ghost and it not count as witnessing an event. If it happens for me again ill do my best to share. Again i love this game i just commented on its lacking features cause i want to see it succeed.

That sounds like either a bug or you had an event before/after the hunt that you did not notice.
I do agree "witness a ghost event" is pretty vague, when everything happening in the house could be considered a "ghost event" if one of the players did not do it...
