Please give us the ability to delete pictures.

Even if you only allowed us to delete a couple, that would be a big help. Nothing I hate more than going for a perfect investigation and getting screwed over on the picture, or accidentally taking a picture I didn't mean to take. If you want to have spirit boxes be more real by changing the sound to me more accurate, why not give us the ability to delete pictures? You can certainly do that with a digital camera.

Pretty sure they said they are working on that in the next update. Most likely will make each camera have limited amount of pictures to compensate, so you can't just spam 3 star pics

Hope that's true.

I really hope cameras aren't limited again. We don't need griefers wasting all of the photos.

Play with friends or kick griefers, issue solved. There are already a ton of ways to grief in the game already, do you want to remove cursed objects because they can be used by griefers too?

You do realize friends can grief too, right? Or that griefers can't be kicked once the game has started? With the possessions at least, you can set the game to give specific ones or just outright disable them. Can't do the same with photo limitations.

Cameras with memory cards can hold hundreds, if not thousands of photos (depending on resolution settings) on even a 16gb memory card. Like.. 400 high resolution RAWs if you want.
There's a reason people wanted "effectively unlimited" photo shooting from the equipment itself.

Honestly, the whole idea of "wait, wait, wait... don't take that picture of the ghost doing crazy stuff... we already have one, any more and they won't count..." Like you wouldn't be spamming the burst shots when you saw a ghost, lol.

It really feels like the concept of evidence collection needs a total overhaul, one where it promotes trying to gather as much as possible, and maybe go in conjunction with objectives to get those riskier ones to sell to a specific client, etc.

It would be neat if we had to collect lots of evidence, where higher quality counts for more (making skill in taking shots matter).
If we added things like video recordings, audio recordings, even sample collection, then it would feel like you had an entire secondary aspect to the investigation beyond just guessing the ghost,
Maybe the follow up team that performs the ritual needs a certain amount of evidence to know what to do. Higher difficulties requires higher amounts of evidence collection as part of completing it.. it wasn't enough to just say "yeah, it was a Phantom", but you also gathered some photos, a recording of it shutting doors and throwing things, and some audio recordings from the spirit box responses and hunts.

I want to walk out of the mission going "Alright, we are pretty sure it's an Oni, and we have enough evidence collected for the banishment team, let's go."

Edit:
Uh.. but yeah. For now, a simple "delete a couple photos" at least would help a lot as a quick fix.

At this point it's probably best to just play alone, if you even complain about your friends griefing. Did you ever try to talk to them about what you expect from the game?

And btw, the only way to really prevent that from happening is to detach the photo-system from the MP-part and make it so, that everybody needs to take their own photos, but that seems very counterintuitive for a coop game.

If I had friends who were griefers, and they were doing it quite a bit, not as a one time joke, we wouldn't be online gaming buddies for long.

July 4th 2024 and we still can't delete photos but now we're forced to save a slot to take a photo of the ghost or else you can't complete the objective

Necro aside, I didn't like that they patched that with ghost photos being finicky (again), especially the DOTS photos. They should've let us keep the bug at least until photo deletion was added.
