Ghosts are a bit too fast now

[Kaasrasp]

I know the previous ghost movement speed was a bit slow and not threatening. But on the new map getting caught with ur pants down is almost certain death. Is it maybe an idea to make the lighter a standard kit? Cuz you know, with the short sprints we can basicly asume we are smokers anyways. And having the lighter as a standard kit makes it more easy to bring it with a smudge stick and maybe something to help you get evidence

Played a game where the ghost was in the Cabin on the campground map and it spawned in that area near the lake. I heard the ghost while we were waking to the cabin and tried to run into that area to hide and just ran into the ghosts arms basically. Campground is pretty difficult with it's sightlines now

I like the speed of the ghosts, I think that's completely fine.

However, the speed boost now coupled with the fact most hiding spaces get nuked on professional provides a somewhat aggravating experience if the ghost begins a hunt in certain areas where you know you won't reach a hiding spot, or if you realize you have no way to break line of sight.

Personally, the speed of the ghosts is great, I want the ghosts to be harder, but when you mix that with making the environments something you have to contend with makes for an annoying experience rather than a challenging/fun one.

It's totally fine for professional and nightmare level.
Maybe should be nerfed for amateur level at least.

But keep in mind that ghost speed may also be an indicator for the ghost you're dealing with, and some new ghost get faster the more electricity you're bringing in.
And that's a good change, since we're able influencing it for some ghosts.

All right except that people asking and people crying are completely different people.

It can be made more difficult but there should be a bit more you can do to maybe loose the ghost. Cuz right now its just death on the slightly larger maps if you get caught at a bad time and that to me feels more like rng then skill.

Nah. "faster ghosts" and "harder game" is often being asked by nerds(as in those who nerd out about the game). Not saying that it is bad to ask for such things, but we should see where those requests really are coming from.
And there is this layer of people who ask for "faster movement speed" simply because they cannot get used to it, and for other quite silly reasons, that have nothing do to with the gameplay itself.

It is just an ill seesaw where dev is trying to "follow community requests", but ending up breaking things for people who were okay with what there was, already, and thus silent.

That's too bad. This maps design is just going to kill you sometimes.
