About Dots..

[Kim]

Has anyone here actually been able to get it? i played with 2 others for over 10 games now, and we have not been able to make it work. Even with 3 of us holding it..

I have read the patch notes, but i guess i'm just not understanding how to use it. Any help would be appreciated

I got it for the first time just a round ago. It was a banshee, visibly crawling towards me as i was holding the dots.
From my experience, it seems really wonky. I only got it to work once, and it was that specific banshee that was fixated on me :'')

I've gotten dots a few times and it looks pretty neat now. I just toss it on the ground and make sure it's pointed in the direction I want covered.

Got it just fine in every round I've used it in. It's no longer an interaction with the dots object by the ghost; Instead the ghost temporarily flags itself as dots visible, and you need to be waving your dots around to try and catch those times

Dots works in a more subtle fashion now. Instead of just having the evidence, the ghost will enter a 'Dots mode' where it will be visible for a short time, as long as it's in the dots path, or the 'dot light'.

Like aiming a flashlight, you'll see any ghost in 'dots mode' while it's in the radius of the dots.

That makes sense. I'm so used to the old way of it working that I thought moving the DOTS would potentially cancel an interaction.

We just tried it again. We tried dropping it on the ground, we tried holding it and looking around the room, and we tried waving the purple light around in it. And not a single time have we seen any ghost or had anything special happen while using it.

I just don't get it

You know how the ghost wanders around during a hunt? How it actually travels through rooms and whatnot? Well when it's not hunting, it's doing the exact same thing- The entity is there, but invisible, and walking around the location and doing interactions within 'reach' of it's present location.

That invisible entity is the thing you need to be shining dots on when it's dots visible; which it will only choose to be from time to time, and only if it's a dots ghost.

So you need to be keeping track of the invisible entity- If it throws something or touches a door, you can know that it is somewhere near that location; use motion sensors to check when it's entering or leaving the area, etc.

dots feel just ♥♥♥♥♥ to position but didnt have issues just threw it on the ground and pointed cam to see them as well and it worked

Yeah, I had a Yurei in dots mode practically on top of me as I swept the penlight around, startled me pretty good. It's pretty dang clear when you get it.
