Ghost is Hunting too much

[Sov]

The current level of Ghost hunts are way over the top, the ghost is literally telefragging my teammates and then killing everyone else on lower difficulties. Sanity is also draining way too fast from darkness and yes, turning the breaker on does help but the Ghost spams ghost events at a much higher rate at the moment.

Is this going to be fixed or working as intended as it is super frustrating compared to Phasma before the update?

Havent experienced any of this, sure you didnt just get a demon multiple times lol

Nope, this has happened multiple times for us on intermediate difficulty, on multiple maps with multiple ghost types. I think its an error in the game because the ghost is literally spawning on top of my teammates before they can react with smudge.

The ghosts are hunting way too much in general, sometimes we cannot even get out of the house because hunt after hunt. I think the grace period is bugged.

I also haven't experienced anything you're describing..

If it's literally spawning on top of your team mates with no time for them to hear the hunt beginning and run away, then it's likely/plausible that someone in your lobby is screwing around with cheats/hacks; Cheats can make the ghost do things it's literally not able to do like attack players in the truck or spawn with no warning.

Also, Every once in awhile you'll get a ghost that spams events- Maybe like 20-30 events in a 20 minute match, but any more than that, especially in back to back matches or every single match? That's WAY too often for most ghosts.


Edit: Also, is it hunting more often than every 20-25 seconds? As in, Hunt, hunt ends, 20-25 seconds pass, next hunt begins? If it hunts before 25 seconds have passed and it's not a demon, that's not normal at all; If it hunts faster than 20 seconds it's literally not possible with how the ghost works.

sanity definitely drains faster now. kinda blows lol

Oh I see, I complain about an issue... and you accuse me of my friends and I of cheating. Is that your way of trying to vindicate the devs for this dreadful patch that has had multiple issues and still has a large number of issues that needs fixing.

I have never cheated at any multiplayer game in my life and neither to my knowledge has any of my friends. They arn't some teeny boppers, we are grown adults with actual standards.

I am simply making my experience of the game known, I experienced it on the challenge mode today and these issues did not exist before the patch was implemented. (Which seems to have been a disaster judging from the customer feedback).

Hi, the teammate here who was telefragged, please take a look at my profile and my sparkly shiny record, as well as my rather extensive Inventory I daren't risk due to it containing old artifacts of friends long gone. Feel free to check their profile, even though it may not be as sparkly and shiny as my profile, as well as that long standing 17 year service record and once again, clean Vac history and no bans, tell us as to why our Ghosts keep Telefragging us to high hell like its a Quake Lan match circa 2004.

The games bugged, theyve released 2 stealth patches /today/ and theyre trying to patch up this slowly sinking ship, we are not alone with this issue.

Hey there! I noticed the same thing, hunts seem to be way more frequent than before the update, and i also witnessed hunts happening one after another without a chance to even get out of the house.

I am not sure if this was intended.
I haven't noticed the ghost spawning on top of players, with the exception of it happening to me once when i was in the ghost room and definitely right next to the spawn... which was just bad luck :'')

I am not sure if this is intended, and my friends and I are slowly getting used to it... But there's definitely a noticeable change!

And I likewise was simply making known the fact that cheats/hacks can present the exact issues you're experiencing.

I did not accuse you of cheating; I said that the things you are experiencing are the exact kind of things cheats can do. To use the 'attack players in the truck' example as, well, another example, The ghost literally has no pathing nodes outside the house- It CANT go visit a player in the truck unless a player in the lobby modifies the ghost's behavior to make it do things it literally cannot.

What you're describing as happening is exactly the kind of things that cheaters and hackers use to troll other players. And you'd be surprised at how often cheaters and hackers troll their own friend groups for whatever reasons they might have... And frankly, every time, Just like you, the ones getting trolled are supremely defensive and absolutely adamant that their friends wouldn't do that.

So now I have to ask; If you play solo, Does it still happen? If you play with people besides your friend group, Does it still happen? Can you reproduce your issue in isolation and with varying groups of people- Or is it only happening when you're playing with your friends?

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. We were playing the new challenge mode on Grafton Farmhouse about 30 minutes ago after the SECOND HOTFIX of the day and found the ghost in the kitchen. I set up a crucifix next to D.O.T.S and we were looking for UV on the door (was in range of the Crucifix) and the ghost started a hunt, spawned in and immediately spawned on top of my friend and then killed me before I had a chance to run away because I was only a few feet away from him.

This has never happened before the update. We were only playing 2 player and my teammate is my partner who lives in the same house and I know does not cheat because they are right near me IRL.

Are the ones experiencing this also getting it in single player? Got to level 29 with only getting ~5 unplanned hunts. Usually only use one maybe two meds at 200% sanity drain. Haven’t done any multiplayer yet though.

We just finished playing the challenge mode as well.
I feel like now and then, the ghost behaviour is very wonky. Like ghosts showing deo behavior (Finding someone hidden in a locker with no flashlight on) or hunting without a grace period.
Those are very rare occurrences though, and I always think it might be a little buggy, maybe some latency that messes things up, I don't know.

What makes me suspect a bug, or it being unintentional, is the fact that it doesn't happen every game. Does it always happen to you, or do you just have those rare "odd" matches?

Yes, I replicated it multiple times, even on Amateur level, where you get the 2:30 timer beforehand, as soon as that 2:30 was up stuff started happening as normal, suddenly the ghost hunted and I died immediately, I mean if you REALLY want me to give proof, next time ai play it (considering its now 3:30 am and Im sleepy) I will happily send you some screencaps of it happening, providing there isnt yet another stealth patch within the next...8 ish hours give or take

I was playing single player today before the hotfix and it seemed fine aside from some rather weird ghost behaviour (the ghost would throw objects in one room so I'd set up there and then move to another room in Intermediate difficulty) so I needed to relocate all the items. I thought that was weird.

I honestly cannot tell you, I haven't tried singleplayer yet - phasmo is something i only play with my partner and our best friend.
I'll absolutely give it a shot tomorrow and see if these things happen in single player as well.

Could do without the "Phasma Damage Control" person in here trying to make excuses for the current state the game is in but I suppose that is just the nature of the internet these days, everyone assumes everyone else is lying so much.
