i hate ghostface

he needs to have more negative effects to being seen


also why does it tell him where i am when exposing him? i legit died cause i looked in his direction without knowing he was there and instantly turned around and went for me

    Being unable to reveal him is a pretty unfortunate bug that makes him way stronger than he should be.

    Him also seeing where he's being looked at from is kinda lame, especially when it happens without you even meaning to look at him lol

    exactly :(


    he is a cool killer with a cool concept but man it needs work

    I hate versing him aswell, especially when they do the hit'n'run tactic with build. It's wraith + pig on steroids. He moves really fast, gives no sound notification when he comes and can instantly hit you out of stealth mode.

    I mean, the one basic element of DbD is the terror radius, but he just ignores it

    It works both ways, playing him is also a nightmare, as 50% of the time your stalking just will not register. But yeah ... It's thanks to dedicated servers.

    the stealth isnt the biggest issue though

    him knowing where im looking from is ridiculous why does he get that

    ∆°This is so true.


    I love playing as and against Ghost Face. He is fun and unique. I like playing as him because I don't have to play the loop game. That is also why survivors don't like playing against him I think. Learn to counter his many play styles.

    GF is fine... Like what do you mean there should be more negatives being seen as GF? You literally deny him his power lmao. Right now, you're offered a choice: give away your position and break him out of his stealth or hide but let him keep his power. It's perfect the way it is.

    Because stealth killers and terror radius removing perks are such a new concept.

    Wraith is faster while cloaked and has 2 add ons that make it hard to determine where he is, one of which is only a yellow. Pig doesn't need a second to get out of crouch and get that first hit and doesn't really give a sound notification either. As a matter of fact, you would probably hear GF earlier than Pig because of the sounds he makes when he's in stealth. GF is a mix of them both, but definitely not on steroids.

    I agree with this. His mechanics are not consistent or even clear at this point. Sometimes you can break him out of stalk, but 90% of time it doesn’t work. It makes him sort of op and annoying.

    The broken reveal mechanics are the one thing that really irritate me about facing him.

    Sorry but you aren't accidentally looking at him. You must have him dead center in your view and it also gives you an audio cue. So ya, if you look at him and break his power and he comes for you, thats on you. It's not dedicated servers. Dear lord you guys. 🤣

  • ThisGuuy83

    Hmmm. A lot about not being able to break him out, or him revealing your location. 1. Your position WILL get revealed if you look at him. It's how his ability works.

    2. Detection is screwed on both sides. I can't tell you how many times I was brought out of shroud, when someone was standing BEHIND something. If I can't detect you, you shouldn't be able to detect me, and vise versa. Now detecting GF isn't as easy as people think either. If I'm correct, I believe you have to see his whole body, and it be center of camera. You can't just do a quick look and expect it to work.

    I don't find it as that much of an issue. If he sees you looking at him, then run. If he stalks you, run. Running is key to avoiding his power if you don't want to use perks such as spine chill. It doesn't matter if he marks/sees you if he can't hit you.

  • MissKitty95

    Nothing to do with the dedicated servers I’m on console and deal with the same issue, looking at him dead in his face and i can’t reveal him but then I can do it behind a wall not looking at him

  • DwightOP

    Try to use your eyes inside a jungle gym, pallet gym, indoor maps in general. Before you realise it's already to late.

    Monitor and abuse a stupid example since it just reduces the TR but not removes it.

    Wraith has a bell and a wosh + it takes time

    Pig glides out her blade which can be heard + it takes time + she is slow

    GF = come around the corner and instant hit you.

    If you think there is no difference it just shows how less game knowledge u have.

  • DwightOP
    DwightOP Member Posts: 2,328

    That one second of pig includes the slow down + her TR starts.

    One second can make the difference between getting the vault/pallet or not. The fact that you don't know that shows me you don't have enough experience. Which is fine, not everyone can have a lot of experience.

    So, Ghostface is the next target? A loopable M1 killer whose power can be removed by just looking at him?

    Do you want killers to help you do gens, too?

    You can run spine chill to counter every stealth killer but no, you preferred the easy way of crying for nerfs

    Have you played Pig before? You do realize that the main aspect of stealth play is that you'll be right next to the survivor and get that first easy hit, right? If they're lucky and get to a pallet first then it wouldn't be any different with GF. Break it and get them next time, same hit and run tactic as you said above. I don't really see why the fact you'll be able to hear her TR starts is relevant because you'll be right next to them.

    I'll give it to you though, it is kinda cute that you tried to give your argument more value by calling me out on being supposedly new to the game ;)

    Ghostface is fine, he doesn’t need a buff or nerf. The only thing that needs to be fixed is breaking him out of stealth. There have been so many times where i’ve looked ghostface in his soul and had a staring contest with him and didn’t break him out.

  • Endstille
    Endstille Member Posts: 2,246

    So wraith,pig and t1 myers need also nerfs right? These are just a few examples of no TR. I doubt that you are able to get away when they get so close.

    M&A is just another example of how TR can be tempered with and to show you that to rely on TR is quite lackluster. Rely on TR vs a hag, a spirit or even a myers is a bad thing to do. They don't need to fully remove TR but the same thing is the outcome you will only realize that it is too late before you get a hit.

    Do you remember how GF came out on ptb? When literally everybody told BHVR how garbage the killer is? He would be broken out of his stealth by spinning your mouse around. BHVR did make changes and it still wasn't enough as the killer was still garbage, they needed to put him where he is right now.

    You complain about Ghostface being able to silently hit you, but so can Myers if he stays in T1. Pig can stealth and do the same. Demo and Hag can teleport and be undetected for a few seconds. You can't just say 'X killer is bad because I can't see them coming or hear them'. Ghostface can be heard easily coming. His footsteps can be heard or rustling nearby. As for catching him off guard, that's his weakness. Knocking him out of his power stops Stalk and he can't mark you for a 1-hit anymore until the power comes back

    I am just tired of all the people playing him being either sweaty tryhards or ones running Noed and just being lazy till end game and relying on people being even remotely altruistic.

    They tend to be unbearably toxic in chat if they don't get their way too, it's making me stereotype all ghostface players. One of the highest ranked ghost faces on the entire leaderboards just tunneled us hardcore; like 6000+ hours and that is what they felt the need to do?

    why not complain about Myers?

  • DwightOP
    DwightOP Member Posts: 2,328

    No they don't. I already explained the difference, if you can't read it's on you. Not gonna repeat myself.

  • DwightOP
    DwightOP Member Posts: 2,328

    Myers breaths loud, is slow, stays tall (can't crouch) and basically has no lunge.

    Pig is slow, has a transition with sound effect, always forced to be crouched which can be difficult to see others.

    Demo, when he teleports the whole map knows that. And when you are close the portal u can hear that aswell.

    Hag has visible traps. Crouching, flashlights.

    Case closed.

    So? Most people that play myers with the mirorr do not have a problem with what you describe. Sorry ghostface is a 115% ms killer with stalking that is buggy, the usual counterplay is looping and you can break him out of his power.

    You dodged the whole subject of how ghostface came to ptb and so on, i wonder why.

  • AngryFluffy
    AngryFluffy Member Posts: 443

    I think Ghostface is fine. He has enough counterplay, it is possible to break his power and you can hear him, even when in stealth. And with spine chill it is pretty easy.

    I like to go against him, most of the rounds are interesting and sometimes even bring jumpscares. Only thing I don't like is the broken reveal or stalk mechanic, but that's an issue of the dedicated servers I guess.

    Keep DCing. You might get him nerfed like Spirit and Nurse
