As someone who has played it on pc since day one(only game I play on pc), I was very excited for the console release was, but I don’t think they took into consideration that brand new console players who have never played this before aren’t going to be charging into bloodmoon maps with 0 experience in the game. I sure as hell wouldn’t, and on top of that, brand new players don’t even have access to all the maps til like level 16 and grinding on amateur suuuucccckkkksssss. I’m lucky that I have been able to play with my steam account open and use that account as my banker and run the map w my console player til I hit lvl 50 so I could do custom difficulty. I feel it stagnated due to the console player rush, should have been released a week before the Halloween event
I don't know why but I got extremely lucky, I had a bug that unlocked all maps and difficulties and could play as my first maps bloodmoons with custom difficulties. Went for a 4x modifier with 3 evidence. Game was very funny and gave me two demons and a mare as my first three ghosts, guess how I knew they were early hunting ghosts? Stuff was scary as hell knowing 0 grafe period and 150% speed. If I had to play amateur until level 50 I would bore myself out
Man, I'd play it more, but the game lacks the scare factor that it used to have. I feel like the problem is they focused too hard on tools and the process of identifying the ghosts rather than the actual scare factor. Ghost interactions have barely changed, the ghost hunt is really only just an excuse to check footstep speed and movement behavior, and dying is STILL just getting the reacharound by the same pair of hands. There's a few other similar games (Ghost Watchers for instance) that leaned more into the horror aspect that I really wish Phasmo would take notes on. I WANT TO ACTUALLY BE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THE GHOST MIGHT DO. Like, I choose to hide in a closet, hear something off, turn on my light, and there's the ghost sitting across from me moments before it jumps my *&^. Environmental horror is fine, but they really need to crank up the spooks. Please.
Agreed. It's literally just a to-do list whenever friends and I load into the game. Never changed much, never improved really, events get worse. Boring after such a long time.
@@vismattress5760 Nah it became "find a ghost simulator" over time. The reason it was so great and blew up so much at first was because at the time it was pretty unique with its interactions and spook moments, and it was multiplayer. The "getting spooked" factor was a huge focus of all the hype. But as it became more of just a check the box sim, it's lost some of its base.
@@lordsaith If you put 100s of hours into any horror game its just not scary anymore like it used to be, that's just familiarity. I really enjoy the gameplay loop in this game, and it does still get me to yell pretty often lol.
Console player here, I went to a bloodmoon map as soon as I could and got murdered in 30 seconds by a Thaye, I just farmed on non bloodmoon maps a couple days until I had all the equipment, now I'm joining the bloodmoon farm.
The Raiju game when hunt starts at 1:06:34 it is normal speed till 1:06:40 then when Insym turns on the flashlight you can immediately hear the ghost speed increase. Hence it was a Raiju not a Thaye.
I'm a little bit pissed about the change...we got up to 60% by the morning yesterday, with over 48 hours left....we could have done it....grinding out the almost 2000 points that I did up to when they changed it made me feel a bit scammed. Could have just not bothered with level 3 and gave us the Blood Moon... 😒
They should have made it so if we dont reach the community milestone then only those with over 300 blood moon points would get the rewards and weather so it is fair. They could have made it individual based if the community fails
It’s actually kind of annoying. We’ve had basically only one meaningful update since January. I don’t know if it’s the console development’s fault but it’s really disappointing that we’ve even been stuck with this horribly slow levelling for like a year now.
@@STAN_LOONA My friends exact words upon looking at the shop after 4 hours of play "Level 84?? I'm not playing this game that much." And he loves this game.
@@doctorbrown5957fr man it’s actually insane. I love this game (probably the most out of my friend group) and have played a ton since I got it in early 2021. But the leveling grind is way overtuned. If these items weren’t locked behind the really high levels it wouldn’t be a big deal. I think they should add cosmetic related stuff or something as a reward that’s not tied to item progression for the later levels. I generally play 1 or 2 evidence games with 7x and 5x modifiers respectively (just depends on the group I’m playing with), so it’s not super casual rewards. And I still am only level 65ish I think, which is higher than all my friends who play. They made the game feel like a bit of a grind fest for getting the good items, and people legitimately “farm” xp in this game now which is wild. I still enjoy the game every once in a while especially if friends ask to play, but they really made it lose that fun casual play style that it used to have.
The constant movement of the Halloween Community Event goal posts were too annoying for me... Felt worthless. Feel this event was a fail tbh... I've still played here and there but didn't grind for it.
Considering it's the first community event they've done, the devs are finding their footing for how it should work with community events in the future.
It's a shame but I've felt that they severely overestimated in the amount of people within' the playerbase, especially with them releasing this event alongside the console release and seeing how the event tracker barely changed lol. I wish they spent more time improving the quality of their game and adding more content versus spending so much time and resources into the console version/release when their game isn't even considered "done" or "full release" yet. Same thing when it comes to the price increase, I could see that being the case for their 1.0 "official release" of the game but to out of nowhere just be like "Yeah we think we've given you enough to warrant charging new players more money", like c'mon dawg.
How much was it before? I got it on PS5 for 20 bucks and I feel like that's a decent price for what I've gotten. I've put about 40 hours in since the Friday it launched.
Phasmo is so incredibly boring right now. I logged into the event, tried each blood moon stage once, and then stopped playing. The ghosts put me to sleep.
@@STAN_LOONA They could reduce the levels by like almost half and just add actual in-game prestige rewards for leveling like dumb item skins. Grinding to like 96 or whatever to get a T3 cross is an insane investment for items that don't drastically change the experience.
@@doctorbrown5957level 90 but Yeye ur point still stands, the fact that there’s basically no incentive to prestige past the 3rd one as well (since no steam achievements past that point) is also ludicrous
They manipulated the percentage so basically we cant lose. Very dumb thing to do. But hey at least I can enjoy the rewards without doing anything while other tryhards do all the heavy lifting for me. All I need to do is click on the moon statue in the lobby once in a while. Thank you all for your patronage 😀 But now seriously for future event they should make it individual based and the community milestones should be just in the background. For example all of this would have been fixed if they required every player to have at least 300 blood moon points to get the rewards. That way at least those who grinded the most would be rewarded
Before i ended todays grind it was about 80% So we should manage it with a day to spare... I guess it was during this stream so it went kinda fast... 1-2 more streams and it all good
Must say i have been lazy and should have done way more this event. All i can say is, Thank you all for participating the event and well done to all who has done some level of grinding. ❤🎉
The Raiju that you thought was a thaye, when you were on the paramic looping it on the couch, when you turned the paramic off the speed slightly changed. That (I think) was the only instance it You accidentally found an insane way to test for a Raiju. Super sick
@ started to on console recently. Like I said its just about the same besides slowdown. All the jarring bugs got patched like 2 days ago. Even with all that the game was still playable. Problem is people dropped this game after 2 days. Devs need to cut the requirements quite a bit because console did not push those red moon numbers.
In case anyone need it for the weekly challenge to make it easier. Every game i grabbed salt and UV and set the salt immediately near the campefire and made the guost walk through it during the hunt. The ghost is so slow you can check for UV during the hunt safely and immediately either get it or rule it out.
I did the weekly and the first one was bloodmoon also it does skip footsteps when its too fast Ive had morois that sound like a fast twin because it skips steps
If the blood moon is gonna be completely random, will that lead to crazy moments like when doing the apocalypse challenge you get a blood moon on top?😅😂
Yo console player and i love this game its funny asf and fun to play with friends or better yet randoms 😂😂😂😂 its scary hearing them ghosts plus for anyone stuck at low lvl just do the camp challenge u get 5Gs$/Exp for it easy money just identify the ghost and leave

@@cursedimageseveryday5559lmaoooo same. I hopped on yesterday to see what the event was about, realized it’s literally just visual changes in maps + the altars that you take photos, and then decided I’ll just hop back on in a day or two to just leech off the rewards. I do know the blood moon effect changes things like ghost speed and events, but considering it’ll be a perma unlock, I don’t even really class it as “unique to the event”.
My friend and I played for 8 hours straight yesterday grinding the three maps. (friend hates lighthouse) He went from level 55ish to now 95, At the same time I prestiged and am now 60 again.

Yeah many people moved on to other better games that are around. They need horror 2.0 and some custom ghost models, not store borrowed ones.

Doesnt matter at all. They just manipulated the result and the time left. Even if nobody participated they would add the content anyway

Kinda sad I thought the console release would give is some good numbers. Pretty much died by the 2nd day. Gotta turn on cross play to get lobbies.
its hard to play on console
@ no it isnt, only problem is the framerate dipping which isnt game changing. Other than that nothing really changed from the pc version.
@Servbot42 Not trynna be rude but do you play on console?
It is harder to play there due to the immense amount of bugs compared to PC.
@ started to on console recently. Like I said its just about the same besides slowdown. All the jarring bugs got patched like 2 days ago. Even with all that the game was still playable.

I did the weekly and the first one was bloodmoon also it does skip footsteps when its too fast Ive had morois that sound like a fast twin because it skips steps
hi you can turn the fire on the campfire even if you have matches and heavy rain you just need to be fast on lighting it
If the blood moon is gonna be completely random, will that lead to crazy moments like when doing the apocalypse challenge you get a blood moon on top?😅😂
Got blood moon last night twice on a non blood moon map. Nice 10% bonus.

a great time as usual!
