Just me or is the Weekly challenge Annoying due to the Event?

[Ajivaa]

My friends & I have tried to do the weekly challenge of the "No evidence", only issue is- it's on the map where a Blood Moon event is happening. That really screws over a lot of non-evidence evidence you could find. The Ghost is faster, drains your sanity faster, and hunts earlier. This messes up A LOT of non-evidence type deciphering, especially for "Casual" players. We're not even that "casual" as we've watched Phas videos before & we can deduce certain things, such as us figuring out the ghost was an Onryo ONLY based off of the candle. BUT! For any ghost, basing things off of sanity, speed, and hunt time is now incredibly wack. There should be an option to turn off the event for the maps. Unless the Ghost has a VERY specific niche thing it does, like Wraith & salt, it just takes away certain "non-evidence".

The faster speed especially is super annoying. Couldn't tell twins, slightly lower than 50 sanity moroi, or just acceleration. I understand they wanted the ghost to be "empowered" and the mission to be harder but a really weird and unfamiliar speed increase is not the way for a seasonal event.

Having the same issue. Played hundreds of hours and this ones got me pulling my hair out. I'm not one to give up ( just got all my Apocalypse trophies) but this week challenge is very hard for me.
Ghost hunting on top of me with a crucifix next to me.
Tons of pictures taken with no ghost in photo, only not to be a phantom.
Even the blinking of the ghosts seems off.
Every ghost sounds like a Myling when hunting.
Every ghost acts like a shade in the ghost room.
Might just be my bad luck. I'll not give up and will get the challenge completed. But, JEZZ this is a tough one.

It was many hours of struggles to finish it this weekly indeed

The only things that change is, that the ghost is 15 % faster and that sanity drain is a higher (0,12 %/s higher on all difficulties or half for solo). Blinking rates, hunt treshholds, sounds and RNG-rolls (including roaming and activity such as interactions and events) are still the same. Due to the speed increase it's harder to identify ghosts for those, who're only doing normal speed, but since the increase is consistent throughout all speeds, there's nothing that stops you from learning it unless you don't want it yourself.

And the Challenge being on the map that has the blood moon is a littlebit unlucky for those, who're not that interested in learning additional stuff, but it offers a very unique experience that wouldn't be possible under any other circumstances, so i rather like it being that way.

I get that, but it's not that we don't learn other stuff about the ghost. Changing the typical ghost speed and sanity reduction (due to the weekly being on an event map), which is a core part of deducting basically over half of the ghosts, makes this challenge annoying. That's all we, as the other commentor's have mentioned, are trying to say. Imo, it has nothing to do w/ people being uninterested in learning additional things, as I've stated- unless the ghost has a very niche thing it does, it's still difficult (unless you get lucky) and annoying to deal with. Well, it WAS, seeing how it's a new weekly.
