@Insym, PLEASE ask the devs to add a Stopwatch. It'd not count as a carried item, but a worn item, like the head gear, so you'd still need to buy and equip it, and it'd be losable on a failed investigation. It'd have its own 2 keybinds. 1 to look, 1 to start/stop (hold to reset). Got 4 unused buttons on console, too. Would go on your wrist. This would let us run smudge timers, hunt timers, etc, in-game instead of relying on external timers. If tracking timing is important in-game, a way to track time should be added into the game imo.
Tier 1: Simple mechanic stopwatch, not electronic, but also hard to see in the dark harder to use and can be inprecise at time. Tier 2: Cheap lectronic one, illuminate in the dark doesnt do much more but is more precise. Has also a built in timer. Tier 3: High brand stopwatch, bigger square screen, can be put somewhere and still be easily seen. Can do multiple calculation at the same time. Also has built in timer.
I would prefer if it was just a simple watch that displays time since the investigation started, so it still involves a basic skill, and then you also don't need additional keybinds
@@Kevin-zz9du there's stopwatches and cadence meters and all kinds of handy things on the unofficial cheat sheet. It's not cheats it's tools, but it's called that.
As a new player, starting at level one was absolutely terrifying. While I know somewhat about the maps from your videos, playing the game is another ball game. My brother was absolutely clueless about the game but he’s learning quickly, thanks to all the tidbits I’ve learned from you and Psycho and I’m sharing those knowledge to him. Yesterday we had a blast, even with the weekly challenge, we’re both getting braver with each game.
I just started playing this game with the console launch, and now i am condifentally doing 0 sanity 0 evidence. This is because of you Insym! I watched your looong ghost guide video 3 times, and if you can believe it i was fully invested the whole time and loved it! So fun learning about all the different ghosts and their behaviours, and you’re a great teacher! Since i started i have aquired the gold apocalypse, 234 ghosts identified, prestige 1 lvl 60, and 103 hours.. in 3 1/2 weeks - with a full time job! 😆 this has become one of my favorite games. thank you!
@@adambrown6669 some of the items are pretty horrendous (para mic, spiritbox for sure), but the nice thing with prestiging versus if you were just a straight up new player is that you can do custom difficulties. I'm almost at the point of prestiging for the first time since level reset, but i can already tell just abusing high multiplier no evidence (and weeklies) will get me past the really awful stuff pretty quick. That's what i plan on at least. But rn I'm still only level 84, and i plan to just stay high level for now until my friends wanna play again so i get to utilize all the high level items for a while
Tier one stuff is honestly the exact same as tier three, just more time consuming (Cruc and flashlight are exempt). Unless you want to complete the game in as short of time as possible with op equipment then be my guest. Balancing in this game is beautiful
@KinaIchi idk about that. Tier 3 flashlight is decidedly better Tier 3 tripod can rotate and is more stable Tier 3 thermometer is more precise and easier to read than tier 1, especially in darkness Tier 3 gear gives you 100% an advantage over using tier 1, tier 1 can still work obviously and isn't terrible but Tier 3 definitely is better.
I remember when Insym was STRUGGLING to chase after a ghost in Asylum way back and kept chasing it down a hallway, then stairs, then another hallway, meanwhile Insym is losing his mind with the writing book in his hands.
1:14:30 I just died today to a revenant because of that happening. Had 2 smudges and tier 3 salt all set, ready to take a picture and then run for my life, only to get killed right off the last candle lighting. No clue why, but you just so happened to explain it here, good knowledge for the future!
I started playing when console released and I've learned so much from just watching you play. It's been so fun playing the game and then ending up actually using info I got from your videos!
Me and the missus came across a couple bugs playing on sunny meadows restricted. Hopefully the devs will see. One was a spot we got stuck in. The east hallway that’s connected to the middle grounds outisde area with the tree the benches and sometimes the breaker is there, as you walk into the east hallway from the “grounds” take an immediate left and there’s a spot where there’s a gurney next to a bookcase with space to get between them. Yeah we couldn’t get out. Had to leave the game. There’s one more spot you can get stuck in that the missus brother told me about I’ll have to get a screenshot. And,That bookcase that spawns right next to where the breaker box spot is in the basement, the bookcase sometimes doesn’t spawn but there will be floating books there like the game tried to spawn it. Hope this maybe points towards some errors in coding you guys can fix or something that helps. I love what this game is becoming. Update: finished the video he addressed the bookcase lol thanks insym Me and the missus had an idea for phasmo. I know it’s got bugs so it would take time to polish, but, a small or medium (maybe your choice) randomly generated map. So there’s just this one map that each time you go it’s a completely different layout. Rooms, breaker spots, everything. It sounded cool.
5:25 Excuse you sir, this is a Wendy’s drive through 10:26 Poor t1 thermo. Used to be the best. Fall from grace indeed 23:22 Insym. Wording. Please. Sir.

Hello insym, i started watching your videos for advice for phasmophobia before buying the game. I bought it yesterday, and my first mission was on amateur and blood moon, i figured out the ghost in under two minutes with one evidence by doing the looping strat, you helped me get a dtart and helped me get knowledge on this game. Thank you. (I got tarrot cards)
I had the worst photo last night with a friend. I took a photo of the ghost slap bang in the middle of a summoning circle nice and close and it registered as a two star summoning circle.
I am a firm believer they should recode the summoning circle's sanity drain to be based on the Sanity% you currently have - for instance, it could take 70% of your current Sanity or a flat 5% Sanity (whichever is higher) whenever you light a candle, effectively still requiring you to choose to use the Circle before you drop below 25% but not locking you out of using it below 70% or something Sanity.
I recently had a Raiju who only gave me 2 evidence (on intermediate solo they were just being stubborn). Using some of the tricks I’ve absorbed by binging your stuff I was like well it only started freaking out when I put all the electronics in. And I got it! I just need to learn to loop the ghost and I might be on my way to being a pro ghost hunter.
Hey @insym idk if you'll see this but I'm level 6 and I got the blood moon but I didn't really know what to do but lots of love to you, been watching you for the past week ❤
What's confusing about it? In Nightmare, you only get two of the three evidences. Some ghosts are FORCED to show certain evidence, like Moroi is FORCED to have Spirit Box, instead of it's other two evidences.
Im quite new and I just had a ghost insta hunt me from the summoning circle today and didn’t have enough sanity (which i didn’t know). I was so confused, so thank you for clearing that up for me lmao
I've been watching your videos for years, but took a few years off from phasmo. It's crazy how much I retained from the videos, though, cuz now when I play online on console I'm like, that's a revenant cuz it's slow af. That's a thaye cuz it's zooming right now. We can slow it down by staying near it to make it old.
Only if it’s a board objective. Otherwise you can just do interactions and salt. You do need to collect the bone though (and it’s basically a free photo so…)
Oh, I have a good copy name for you. There’s a politician, in a city in Ontario Canada, where I live. His name is Philip Phillips! I laugh every time I see him!😅 This poor dude….why would you do that to your kid?
I just played this game again since the first couple days of release, them force prestige on my friends is so dumb and locking custom difficulty to level 50 is even dumber.
My first time ever playing the game was on a blood moon and I got the demon, and add to it I hadn’t even figured out how to use the items before it killed us
hey Insym, question for you...can you do a video on how to play nightmare with your settings with the sanity and activity monitor on, and still have it say Nightmare as the difficulty please and thank you
I'd like to see you play a little more on console and make a new beginners guide from there. You seemed more easily frightened in a true beginner scenario. Prestige doesn't feel like true level one now that I've seen the limits of true level one.
@ I just got into his channel cause phasma came out on console. He’s good it’s good to watch while falling asleep and learning how to play. Commentary is better than some channels I’ve seen
inysm please ask CJ about a potential bug involving ghost equipment detection. None of my ghosts lately detect my equipment. they wont follow me when looping or come near me. they all act like yokais. anyone else experience this?
@mreggs3731 nah like they will be in the kitchen with me, but wont detect me crouched behind the counter even tho i have a flashlight on. It literally feels like they are even more oblivious than a typical yokai. Like they will be within 3-5 meters, flashlight starts flickering but no detection. And yes its on and in my hand. I played today as well and the same thing happened
@@mreggs3731 just for reference i am prestiege 6 and ive done the apocalypse challenge so im not like a new player to the game. Something feels off as of the last update and the main thing i noticed is i cant seem to be detected via equipment
And I was one of the people the got the blood moon for my first ever game it was solo I thought it was just the game was that scary but I’m still playing after finding out that that was a event😂
He streams on twitch every day starting at somewhere between 11:55 AM and 12:10 PM he then chops the footage to the stuff he wants to show UA-cam and uploads it. He does play for even longer on his twitch streams and does extra ghost gambling or even just a small horror game chat suggested

I really like these ideas, fits well in the game and makes it so i dont have to have my phone out while playing.
@@Kevin-zz9du if they do that it would need to be non electronic, otherwise it would just go crazy during a hunt and get you killed.

After watching 50hrs of ur streams on YT I’ve learned how to guess most of the ghost ur the best
There is SO much valuable info throughout i could rewatch this 15 times and not get all of it. Grateful. Extremely valuable video

Hey insym, love your videos thanks for producing such good stuff.
2:27 my gf just got the game. First match was against a revenant. Second match had blood moon weather....
Tier 1 Items: Temu
Tier 2 Items: Amazon Basics
Tier 3 Items: Name Brand
Watching you restart level 1 in Phasmophobia is hilarious! Your reactions and fresh energy make the game so much fun to watch! Keep it up insym!

I think it should just always drop you to 0% sanity, but still let you always light it

I think the one thing that confuses me about Nightmare and insanity is forced evidences.
What's confusing about it?
In Nightmare, you only get two of the three evidences. Some ghosts are FORCED to show certain evidence, like Moroi is FORCED to have Spirit Box, instead of it's other two evidences.
Is lovely wish for sanity in Point Hope, having ghost in the top most room, where the light is, and move ghost to the bathroom in the entrance... -_-

It's a good day when he uploads
Why does it seem like I’ve seen this exact video before? Do you post the same stream for different vids?
Wait I thought that you needed a ghost photo for a perfect investigation, that's crazy and makes things so much easier I can just get nine salt photos

Ummmm One of my first games as a level 1 was a blood moon. it was with my brother and friend and we died in 2 mins of us being in the game
My first time ever playing the game was on a blood moon and I got the demon, and add to it I hadn’t even figured out how to use the items before it killed us
Would be kind of cool if you could have a monkeys paw and wish on a jinn for the next game to be a blood moon.
hey Insym, question for you...can you do a video on how to play nightmare with your settings with the sanity and activity monitor on, and still have it say Nightmare as the difficulty please and thank you
See I went off of “oh the banshee can’t switch rooms, shouldn’t be a banshee then” and it was. So idek 😭
Sooooo much harder for new players. OGs like us Insym have it easy.
If the blood moon has a 4% chance to happen then it’s hilarious that my first game after months of not playing had it happen XD
I wonder what the 20 badge will look like. These are my favorite videos.
Isn’t the blood moon weather effect only the weather ? I don’t think it adds all the other stuff.
W timing as always
do sunny meadows unrestricted with tier 1 items if it is possible
How dare youtube hide this for 5 minutes from me!
