Ghost events and blinking lights rework?

[HmoWW]

What about reworking ghost events and blinking lights?

reason is that after like 5 hours in game you have full confidence in your safety until flash light starts blinking
and if it`s blinking that means run

i feel like there should be more variation

especially with ghost event that should be very scary but most of the time ghost is shows itself and just standing
you know that means nothing because flashlight is not blinking
you know that you are completely safe
and because of that there is not much scare

i think ghost events right now is one of the weakest parts of the game
and game would greatly benefit with some changes done to them

(sorry for bad english)

What?

Ghost events can drain your sanity, which increases chance for ghost to hunt (hunt = ghost trying to kill you, as you call "blinking").

They can be used for ghost photo..

What would you want them do with ghost events? Make them murder you?

The game is not aiming for jump scares, but tension. a ghost event is about the same has hanging out in the darkness for most of a minute in small map on professional level. So anytime a ghost event occurs, you know you're that much closer to being hunted.

One event is fine, but as more events happen, you get closer and closer to being hunted and killed.

i want more scare of ghost event because right now they are pretty lacking in that regard

Again, they're not supposed to outright scare you on their own (though that can happen), they're supposed to make you uncertain as to how much time you have left until the hunt starts.

Define "scare". Are you talking about jumpscare? Hell no cus jumpscares is cheap garbage

yes and game doing it well until you realise that the whole game comes down to:
1: Blinking flash light - run
2: Flashlight isn`t blinking - completly fine

There is another words for these two

1: Hunt
2: Ghost Event

Also i wouldn't call it "completely fine". Cause getting your sanity drained by ghost event is bad thing

maybe some kind of "fake nunt" mecanic
when ghost event starts it some times can give high emf spikes
so maybe when it happens it also would mess with electronics

also right now there is only like 3 possible ghost events
ghost just standing
he is slowly walking towards you
breath thing

would be cool to see more
like lifting up objects
loud slamming of all doors in the room
more pranormal sounds
e.t.c

i think it will only increase immersion and tension of the game

Blinking flashlight only happens if the ghost is hunting within a certain range of you. So no, it not blinking doesn't mean you're safe.

No fake hunts. The last thing we need is fake-outs because people will begin to die just because they played chicken and that'll be annoying on its own.

I like that idea, although only if it's like a small blip and not continuous. That would be confusing players too much.

ah yes they just pathed it in

"ghost will dirupt electronics equipment whenever they are visible" lol
