No Ghost Orbs?

[TheOddBreed]

anyone else having issues trying to see ghost orbs? last couple ghosts i tried to find evidence for ended up being ghost orbs with nothing on cameras?

Ghost orbs show up in the ghost room and not where the ghost is. Are you certain you had the right room and not a spot the ghost just wandered into often?

Ghost Orbs CAN be fake.

it is a little rough to tell most of the time. without the ouiji board or tarot card. but i would assume the ghost room would be the one with the most activity?

I had that one time. I didn't see the ghost orb on my camera, but another player in the truck seen it. I checked three times, and never seen that orb.

I guess there's a random bug which can make the orb not appear in a client for some reason.

There are a lot of tiny bugs like this since Apocalypse.

i haven't had issues with them but they can be tricky to spot. always be sure to look from multiple angles and make sure you're in the ghost's favorite room when you do.

i think this is the case. it is so difficult to find certain pieces of evidence at a time when you have 2 and just need that last one. i have no clue why it is designed this way.

No, they can't. Sometimes lights or snow might look like ghost orbs, but once you know the difference, it's easily distinguishable.

Obviously the Mimic has an ability to show ghost orbs, while not having it as an evidence, but those will follow the same rules as for any other ghost, who has orbs as evidence.

the most common problems with orbs though are either just looking at them, when they're clipping into some objects or that you might just have not the right room (either because you got tricked by a roaming ghost or it just changed rooms in an unlucky time frame).

So ultimately as others already said: Try to look into the room from different angles, preferably even moving around while looking at it. And also don't dismiss this evidence, just because you've looked through the room once, but rather try to check it every now and then, if you're waiting for other stuff to happen anyway.

Totally understand BUT... it is not fake when it is the mimic so why is it not evedence?

yeah I'm not sure what the deal is but I am having issues where the orb seems to be appearing and disappearing in rooms. I think the orb generator that makes the particle for the orb is placing them inside of walls or something sometimes. It seems to be happening much more often now. Just had a ghost in the master bedroom in tanglewood and the orb was only visible maybe 1/4th of the time, ghost was an obake.

I think the game is just in a slightly buggy state atm after one of the recent updates. We had a hunt where we had gotten an EMF 5, but the ghost turned out to be a DEMON; whose evidence includes ghost writing, temperature and fingerprints, but does NOT include EMF 5.

In the SAME EXACT hunt, we had two of three players die despite being in a custom "friendly ghost" difficulty, which also made zero sense because friendly ghosts are not supposed to hunt whatsoever, let alone actually kill you (and yes, we double checked afterwards that it was, in fact, on friendly ghost settings).

im glad i am not the only one who thinks evidence is shotty atm. makes it hard for me to want to play until they fix it. i hate trying for evidence and it cannot be reliable anymore. so frustrating.

I had that case again two times today : No ghost orbs, while knowing 100% sure the ghost room, and looking for 30 good seconds each time and have someone watch in the truck at the same time.

Then we try again 10 minutes later, and surprise: ghost orbs ! Same room, clearly visible. I was a bit annoyed to say the least. :) and yes, two times exactly the same behavior.

There's something fishy here.

That's as if the ghost orbs do not spawn at the beginning of the game, but they'll spawn later.
