This is a really cool change for Banshees in Phasmophobia! I hope this will make them even more scary and give them a better place alongside Revenants (and also Jinns, Phantoms and Demons can be scary). I hope we’ll eventually also see a Wraith buff so we have another scary ghost type! Let me know what you want to see in the comments below! Much love!

Fixes
1. School: Fixed an error with the top floor map where one of the hallways had a wall through the middle.

3. Fixed a bug where objects could fall through the basement floor on several maps.
4. School: Fixed a bug where the window fingerprints on every window was facing outside.
5. Fixed a bug where the spirit box could say “Nothing Detected” after it had been turned off.
6. Fixed a bug where the $50 photo reward challenge would complete if you only got a $10 photo reward.
7. Fixed a bug where some items were not spawning in training.
8. Fixed a bug where alive players could hear a dead players voice if the dead player disconnected then reconnected their microphone.
9. Fixed a bug where the fuse box audio would play at the start of professional contracts.

This Banshee change is awesome! Glad to see ghosts getting buffs!
About the High School change: I could not find any significant changes to the map, the upper floor is still divided in two sides with only one connecting hallway between them. If you know what changed be sure to let me know in the replies below!
I want smart ghost AI that hones in on your location after multiple hunts. So the more hunts they do the smarter they get and if you stay in one location too long they will find you. 0 Sanity should be more scary, you should want to keep that sanity up and try and prevent hunts as much as possible. This would help that.
The best ghosts are the unpredictable ones! I like being surprised, shocked, scared! Being unpredictable is the best way to do that. I'm not talking about behavior so much as the ghosts being aggressive early or in random places or being docile for a long time and then being relentless. Banshees can be either really exciting or really boring. Hopefully this will help
I would love to have windows break and scatter.
Now its not enjoyable to watch it high lmao. Its stressing🤣
How long does it take you to go through 100 levels
Is it on live server like is it on beta or live idk……
what language do you normally speak?
Banshees can still be countered fairly well but not nearly as easily, just have to get the target to hide far away from the room rather than have them wait outside
I think it would be pretty cool if dead players could talk through the spirit box. If a spirit box is on (the static noise) it would be cool to hear dead players actively talk through it. It could work kind of like local voice chat where if the dead player is far away from the spirit box while it's on, it sounds far away. If they're close, it's louder and more clear. You could also make it so the voice is distorted or echo-ish or something. I cannot remember if dead players can hear live players but if dead players can, they will be able to talk through the spirit box if the live players have one on and the dead player is near. It would be pretty cool! Just an idea.
Patch tho
Finally I’m not a day late and also whoever disliked this video, I hope your pillow is warm on both sides
You know what would really make Banshee scary? Make it the only ghost that can go out of the building during hunts, and make it slightly faster than the target player so you can't loop it. Would be about as much a giveaway as Revenant's speed, and it would be terrifying when it finally happens. Do it!
I reported the items not spawning in training and specified every item that was bugged.
is it just me who gets killed through doors still in beta?
Challenge: try to get every single pick upable object and bring it outside without dying or taking sanity pills
I hope he will add steam workshop support so we can make maps
Would be cool if DK added the ability to communicate with dead players via the spirit box while in the truck.
"Do you want us to leave?"
"KILL."
number 9 happened to me it was very great
The banshee hunted me at 85 sanity and it scared the fuck outa me
They should add a new ghost
Wisp
Obambou
Pricolici
I think it'd be cool if the daily challenges were actually kind of a separate game mode. For example, a 0 sanity challenge. You click the challenge and start with 0 sanity in a random map.
HELLO INSYM!!!! <3
I'm really loving the banshee change 😁❤
wait… I think it would be awesome if you can speak with dead players through spirit box!!! :O
Finally banshees are no longer the easiest ghost since it was so easily cheesed before
Insym you should make your own trello board of changes, would be a cool video I think
There's also a bug on Grafton with a Ouija Board spawned outside, I don't know if they fixed this yet, me and my friend reported it but never got to it. It spawned right near the left side of the front doorsteps standing straight up once we loaded in. If you could report this, it would be appreciated 🙂
Nothing to do with the patch, but … I think it's the first time I see some natural lights coming in your room, feel weird, use to see it much darker.
But it shines on the Pikachus~
I feel accomplished I reported the accessibility setting making audio go mute
Can confirm about Banshee. I got targeted twice in one day, one of them killed me. Thing is, it didn't hunt when its prey was outside even when the entire team had low sanity but then I got inside and roughly 10 seconds later it started the hunt that killed me
That was three months ago though
Once I played a game with a banshee who barely left the room. I was her target (didn't realize this until much later in the game), and I hid in the same spot. Got hunted like seven times before she finally found me and killed me, and it was because I moved out lol
i dunno if its bugs or not, but Banshee in my gameplay can teleport to near her target location when hunting
i experienced this 3 times already but i never see ppls talking about it
and yeah, all 3 i died because of that
2 out of 3 i died inside a closet when i already secured my safety (ofc i hold the door and im sure im not clipped through wall)
my killed count with banshee is the highest out of every ghost in my 100+ hours gameplay
It's the morning of the test. So this afternoon I'll be a free person again and can finally watch all your 1hour+ videos in a row 😍 I'm so ready for that, you won't believe me 😂
Also I really like the constant changes he's giving the game. And that he starts changing the ghost types slightly or at least kinda giving them buffs is just awesome! Hopefully I can see you play tomorrow <3 (I think today is "different game Friday", correct?)
I just noticed you are Dutch as well. What the crap lol
Two steps into the door and someone got EMF 5. Put a bet down that it was a banshee and that the first dude in was the target.
Later while hunting the ghost wouldn't lock onto anyone despite being in line of sight, it's target was hiding.
Details like that keep me coming back, being able to tell a ghost from certain behavior quirks and to learning how to read them.
Banshees already terrified me, especially now that I can’t hide in the truck for emf. I’m terrified for when this gets released on the regular branches
The vanishing tools haha, we set up with a book on the dining room in one of the maps with a flashlight with a stubborn spirit and the book was gone seconds later (we thought the ghost yeeted it)
