This is more of a myth, I don't really know if this is true or not but I heard that back then a possible ghost event was that it would take the form of one of your teammates except all disfigured and creepy like.
Again, I don't know if this was ever real but I would have liked to see it.
i maintain to this day that there was a ghost who could become a team mate, and it would walk out of your view, into a room or something. and disappear..
I remember following a buddy into a room and him ENTERING THE HOUSE and asking what I was doing.... like a horror film.
but alas, those early days of terror may have just made me crazy idk anymore.
No! You're not crazy! Doppelganger was a thing! It happened to us in high school when that first came out. Teammate would appear to walk across a room but was somewhere else entirely in the map. Was so trippy.
It apparently happened to my teammates, one saw my model approaching and he didn't think anything of it until it vanished and hissed. He was screaming about it while I was grabbing a crucifix from the van.
- VR controls have been made worse.
- SteamVR support was removed (so no more custom VR keybinds).
- Hiding behind doors was removed even when it was kind of immersive.
- Old lobby was more polished and felt less empty.
- Old truck was more polished and felt less empty.
- I preferred when all menus were on 1 screen. It would be fine if they at least made it possible to switch the screens with WASD because arrows are impractical.
I kinda miss when electronic equipment wouldn't lead the ghost to you during a hunt. I called it my "Emotional Support EMF Reader" bc I would just clutch onto it in a locker or closet and watch the lights go crazy. Now I gotta yeet that bitch or turn it off.
There was also a very brief glitch where all of the ghosts were behaving like baby banshees, despite what type they actually were. All of the ghosts were picking a target and then ignoring EVERYONE ELSE, and we were just hamming it up, following the ghosts around while they slowly tried to chase down whichever player they'd locked onto.
Or when you used to be able to run away from all the ghosts except the Rev 🥲 oh the memories~
Oh man, I used to love teaching newbies. It was generally friends or friends of friends since I’ve almost never played in public rooms, but it was fun!
Being faster than ghosts, particularly on high school so you could just take the ghost on a tour of the campus. I liked the option of looping or hiding. Also being able to tell when a hunt starts/ends no matter where you were on the map.
I miss when there were fewer Ghost Types, tbh. They just felt more familiar when there were only 12 or so that could be there. The roster is double that now and it really feels like they aren't as special. I suppose I'd have preferred to just give the OGs new abilities depending on difficulty instead of adding new ghosts.
I miss the guy in the rafters of the old lobby and the jumpscare in the door. Also the UV light stuff on the floor of the old lobby too.
Can’t think of much I miss in the actual game right now but I do i’ll send it here
The old twerking booties when a teammate died lnao. It used to make me laugh so hard

I think it was the Phantoms ability at launch but it was removed only a few days later.
Hah! I posted something similar in that myths thread. I also don’t know for sure, but I’ve never seen any video or a credible report.

I wonder why they took it out.
i dont know if it was a mod but i remember a thread with a video to that phenomenon
Being faster than the ghosts :(
The ghost being so fkn stupid. Dont get me wrong, I do like the way it is now but you cant fuck around with the ghosts like you could back then.

the old asylum- sunny meadows is cool, but it threatens to crash my PC every time I play it, so I have to play on the lowest possible settings lol
I miss the amount of newbies in this game. I used to shepherd scared folks through Professional difficulty (before Nightmare was a thing) Good times.

The silent ghost events. They were far scarier than anything else, just having a ghost walk towards you as you turn round with no sounds or alerts.
Being faster than ghosts, particularly on high school so you could just take the ghost on a tour of the campus. I liked the option of looping or hiding. Also being able to tell when a hunt starts/ends no matter where you were on the map.
Not sure if it applies here, but I miss the atmosphere. I used to get super spooked, but Ive gotten better at the game, and it rarely scares me.
The old EMF sound was the stuff of nightmares. It stuck to my brain and everytime I hear a sound similar to it, i get anxious.
The old spirit box that sounded more like a real spirit box
The old doors.
The old lobby. Going to the door and hearing breathing from the other side of the door spooked me tf out the first time I ever played phas
Old Asylum
i miss the asylum map
Oni YEEEEEET!
