In the new Phasmophobia update you can troll your friends by yelling to the ghost during a hunt. This is a HUGE ISSUE. It absolutely shouldn’t work like this in my opinion, the ghost should focus on the person that yelled to prevent this kind of trolling. I’m sure that this will soon get changed. I love the Phasmophobia community so much, it is literally the least toxic community I have ever seen, so let’s try and keep trolling to an absolute minimum! Hope you enjoy this piece of Phasmophobia science! Much love and see you during the streams! 😀

Well ik who is dying 24/7 because my friends love to troll and I'm the one carrying the equip always so yay
Another test: you hide in the garage locker, friends hide in the foyer closet (when ghost is in one of the front rooms), if you play with the radio while it's hunting, can you get the others killed that way as well?
Ah, great
I was in the stream!
When I can play on the new patch?
If you stand outside making noise, the ghost will be aggro on you and your other 3 teammates can be inside moving around safe
What if you're in the closet alone, but someone talks over radio when ghost is near, does it go for you or the person talking?
Give the host the power to kick people out of the game, I've played public games once and I will never do it again because I immediately got harassed by a creep who thought he was on Tinder instead Phasmophobia. He was absolutely terrible and in the end I had to dc from the game because he basically took the game hostage, I couldn't leave the game any other way because of him.
It should be the norm that the host can kick anyone out, otherwise you'll end up in a situation like I did in L4D2 where I was the host playing with a friend and we got 2 griefers who we could not get rid of because of the majority vote system, so fun to have to leave your own damn game.
Hi insym, I’m new to phasmophobia and every time I attempt to join someone’s lobby, they kick me all because I’m level 12. I only managed to join 2 lobbies who didn’t kick me in 7 hours so it would be nice if I can play with you? If not, it’s fine.

just wants to place the book down
Bed: Consume
I bloody knew it. I really wonder what they’ll do to fix this?
There should be a priority list for nearby targets, based on last/loudest voice detection. So if the ghost is within, say, 5 meters of multiple players, it will target the person with some combination of the loudest/most recent sound detection. That's my suggestion, anyway.
Also, that closet at the end looks like one of those "how many freshman can we squeeze into a phonebooth" challenges.
trolling in public: NO
trolling with friends: YES XD
can you do a no entering ghost room until it hunts again?
What told you it was a Yurei?
the crawling model of the ghost should be able to crawl on the walls and ceiling and ghost writing be not exclusively on the book but also on the walls. thatd hype the fear factor by alot
why is this update not here for me…?
"assholes in public lobbies" I'm an asshole to my friends all the time
What is your phasmophobia name?! I can never find good people to play with. Add me on steam my name is OopsPoopstain
I tested this with a buddy yesterday. Here's what happens:
If the ghost approaches a closet head-on, the doors will swing open and someone will die immediately.
However, if the ghost approaches a closet from an angle or from one of the sides, the doors will swing open and push the ghost to the side. So the ghost loses vision and has to move in front of the closet again. I think this is what happened at 11:28 too. This can happen a few times if you rapidly close the doors, but eventually the ghost will be positioned in front of the closet to the point where they get the insta-kill after the doors open.
In my opinion problem is simple, ghost focus person that is the nearest to him on closet open. Exception that last hunt ghost could not see properly and finally focus on talking person?
I’m back here again
I don't like pub but Ill do it here and there. Only the elite ghost hunters are welcome in my squadren
5:41
ghost: ARE YOU NOT INTIMIDATED?!
The thing that sucks is, the part that makes it a problem for public games is also the part that makes it that much more tense and engaging for private games with friends. Much like the 'holding doors' issue, I honestly don't want this changed, because I think it adds an interesting element to private games — but I also understand that it can make public games a pain when someone's acting in bad faith. So I guess I just wish there were an option for toggling "troll maneuvers" like this rather than just sanitizing the gameplay outright.
i was so close to die because of my friends 🙁 i hope they fix this
This is the only way to kill Riley in an acceptable manner per the Family Rules. 😉
There is also a glitched hiding spot in either Bleasedale or Grafton (which ever one has the table with the bloody butcher knife on it). If you go to that table, stand against the right side of it next to the wall, and stand while looking straight down, you will live during a hunt.
Last night literally 4 of us were just standing and staring down while being hunted. Never once did we die, and it was right behind us.
I expect this won't be there for long, so enjoy it lol
There was also another glitch we experienced in that house, where if you go upstairs, and in the doorway to the room right just before the attic stairs, your flashlight will literally disappear. Your hand just disappears, flashlight turns off, it's GONE. You'll have to scroll through to pull it back up. Made things really difficult haha
if u feel the ghost gonna catch u
just ready ur ESP … if u saw the ghost hand just quit then ur item will be save
Ghost disposal team comes in the next day, sees the pile of bodies, and just says "Nope, y'all house owners oughta move."
I'm confused…Isn't that how it's always been?? Haven't you always had to stay quiet in a group/techbically been able to troll during a hunt? Doesn't the randomness of who dies when bunched up make the stakes higher and more fun???
You should do real ghost adventures!
That's not funky fresh. Trolling is bad.
I don't think this is an easy fix at all. Sure, DK can make the ghost prioritize the last person to speak instead of the closest person it sees, but that just opens the door for different exploits like Ghost Tennis, with the ghost switching targets whenever anyone speaks. IIRC, DK made the ghost prioritize the next person it sees specifically so that the ghost would make opportunistic kills if it saw someone on the way to investigate a sound because it was ignoring people in hallways while going after a noisy player.
08:38 Even the ghost was like wtf
there should be a dead bodies photo now
What was that thing he did with the fuse box? How did he get the garage lights to flicker? 1:30
Yep i got triggered today my friend was trolling me on stream and this kept getting me killed 😓
Day #77, I'm tired man, I just got my schedule for next week and im working 6 days in a row with only one day off ;-; I can do this? lol maybe, thanks for the great content always, hope you're having a lovely day Insym!!!! <3
Ghost will get the closet person to it, unless its a banshee. And this isn't a troll, unless someone is dumb enough to stand in the middle, and up against the door.
I am personally okay with how it works right now. When it comes to immersion, the ghost should kill indiscriminately and not care who made the noise. When a ghost hears a noise and opens a door to find survivors, it should kill whoever it wants. After all, the ghost shouldn’t be able to know who made the noise, even if it wanted to. Does it suddenly recognize voices and match them to faces?
Gameplay wise, if I was hiding in a closet with randoms during a public match, I would not hide in the middle or in front of the guy who is screaming to troll me. I would hide in the corner like him. I don’t think people are going to troll that much, and even if there are trolls, there are many other ways to impede on progress (hiding equipment, glitching equipment through walls/under the map, lying about evidence, etc.). I don’t think it’s a huge issue, and I don’t want the developer to change the ghost AI in a way that makes it less immersive or more predictable. Making the ghost strictly only go after people who make noise would ruin my immersion.
There is a big bug on grafton farmhouse now! My friend died so I was the last one at the house and I can't left the house because the door was still closed… It happened 3 times
My friend died like this because of me, just one time trolling. He's not talking to me since that day xD
