Being able to haunt when you're dead

[Azakiel]

When you're dead you should be able to haunt the house just for the fun of it. Would love to scare my friend by closing the door, walking the stairs, throwing things around the house... :D It's kinda boring to walk around like a ghost when you really can't do anything.

But how would the people know the difference?

That's what would make it fun.

Better yet make it so you can still talk to them via the Spirit Box

People being allowed to talk through the spirit box could cause issues when it comes to getting an ID on the ghost, that said, if you can get yourself killed before that can be done then it'd really raise questions.

Easy fix would be having the SB act like the normal push to talk proximity chat but the audio would be garbled/distorted to make it harder to understand, and still allow a ghost response to take priority if a player is talking through it (cuts the player audio for Microsoft Sam to earn his paycheck).

You actually can pick up objects around the house/haunted area like plates, cups, bottles, balls, stuffies, etc and throw them at your living team members. If you don't overdo it, you can really scare the ♥♥♥♥ out of your friends :)

I rather not. It would make the game more annoying and entice people to die right away just to troll

Well you can already throw things at your mate when you are a ghost. And activate movement detector thing. That's enough. And it's not a pvp game, it's a coop game. What you have to do is HELP your mates, not rush their death.

I wouldn't mind letting people move more stuff around, walk around, and things like that but not closing doors. That would be way too easy for trolls to screw people over.

This. Also remember not everybody play with friends.

Sure, maybe also make the dead players able to pick up the lighter and burn the building down? Or allow them to hunt and help the original ghost kill their friends? It's already possible to mistake a dead player thrown item for a ghost thrown item and waste a photo on it. Being able to talk on the spirit box or through the Ouija Board when dead would be nice and unharmful to the investigation on the original ghost. It's normal the people would want the game to be less boring to them when they are dead but sometimes it's better to just suck it up and not ruin the game. People have to understand that giving the dead players too many options will make the investigation harder if not impossible.

I think there should be definite distinctions between dead player actions and ghost actions, that being said it would be nice to not have to throw a plate over and over to lead my team to the ghost writing that solved the case when I was dead. I think there should be minor ways for the dead players to communicate with their team, perhaps a few seconds to talk on the spirit box as a one time thing after you die, or at least some way to indicate ghost type or a piece of evidence once you're dead. The game kind of ends for you when you die right now and it would be nice to still play, as for anyone worried about trolls, if they would troll you when they are dead whats stopping them from doing it when they are alive? Same thing if someone abuses any other feature, hacks, or whatever, just don't play with them, but don't let them prevent the game from evolving.

its still a coop game, not a VS game...

I see no issues here. Worried about trolls? Game mode settings for the host will rectify that problem right away. That aside, this seems pretty fun, actually. Thus far, no one has a competent argument against this idea.

+1, giving an option to talk thru spirit box after getting killed would be something. maybe not talking like a regular voice chat, but using those commands that players use to contact with a ghost and vice versa, short yes or no, die, attack, etc, that would be something, cause giving a dead player entire ghost voice chat could end ,like few ppl above said, as a trolling from the dead player and would be rly annoying.
