Pathfinder needs a nerf

[Mr.Deathly]

Been playing the game for a few days now got most of the abilities and stuff unlocked so been trying out different builds and honestly the only thing i really have a complaint about balance wise is the pathfinder. It literally leads you directly to where the ghost is sitting leaving hiding completely pointless. I find the ghosts pretty balanced just have a skill curve.

[Hmm]

Nah just swap props or fly as a ghost

You really thing jumping prop to prop with people with Gatling guns, grappling hooks, traps, sniper rifles and more run speed than you have fly speed is a good idea? there's only so much jumping you can do before you get smashed... pause by the hunter team.

Pathfinder is super obvious as far as the detection devices go. If someone kills me while using one I get false footprints and lead them on wild goosechases for the rest of the game.

Pathfinder has no counter to it as far as i see and just makes the game unbalanced imo

There is literally an Haunt to counter it.

Also throwing yourself around as a prop leaves no trail.

haunt only works when im dead not when im alive. Haunt doesnt do me any good when im up alive as a prop now does it? There shouldnt be a way to just straight up walk to the prop im hiding it without any sort of counter to it. The walkie talkie one or whatever its called is perfectly fine it just lets you know hey there a ghost in the area,but doesnt just straight up give the exact prop and location where the ghost is hiding, its just not balanced at all and multiple hunters using the pathfinder will win 90% of the time.

If you don't move around you don't leave a trail. Legit the counter to the pathfinder is standing still or if you have to move flinging yourself large distances/using spirit to move.

Not really considering how if i stand still ectoplasm builds up so you have to move and even if you take slow ectoplasm it still doesnt help much so in the end there really isnt a way to counter it.

Pathfinder only shows tracks and not ectoplasm. If you don't move you don't leave tracks.

Again you cannot just sit still the entire game,and I've killed ghost who are just barely moving in place cause it shows a blue aura underneath the props

Yes you killed people who moved for no reason. The counter is not to move. If you move at all it leaves the tracks.

omg you aren't listening. You CANNOT stay still the entire match. You must move or else you gain too much ectoplasm. So what you are saying makes no sense what so ever...

[Gamer2456]

If you don't move you can not lower your ectoplasm fast enough to stop on radar. So they need to ether make so can not see prop with path finder or decrease ectoplasm speed.

You might have missed the part where this is a team game. You are not supposed to counter everything by yourself.
If you are alive as a prop, one of your dead mates can haunt.

In addition, there are multiple ways to move so that your trail is interrupted. Jumping and parkouring in different areas, flinging yourself long distances, switching props.

I have won the majority of my ghost matches by finding a good spot, using ecto-slow, and sitting completely still, using taunts or jumping in place to reduce build-up. I would honestly say %75 of my ghost wins are in 1 spot for 5 minutes. Sometimes 2 maybe 3 spots. My main method is what i previously stated though. Finding a good/sneaky area, ecto-slow, and taunts to reduce plasm.
