Ghostfix reveal mechanic fix when?
Seriously it's getting old looking at him and not taking him out, yet when I'm not focused on him I'm taking him out of his power like why?

Itll be fixed when its broken. To reveal ghostface you cant be too close or too far, and 33% of him needs to be visible

Dude I have had staring contests in the middle of Dead Dog Saloon sunny streets standing up like we were about to have a western style showdown and not revealed him. 100% visibility looking right at him at the proper distance and- nothing.
It's absolutely dodgy.

Did you have him in the right part of your screen?
Is your character itself blocking parts of him?
Is he within 32 meters? Is he using the range reduction addons?

Just play against me and you'll reveal me from the other side of the map while staring at a wall :>

Yeah, there are conditions. Trust me, it works just fine. When I play Ghostface I get spotted CONSTANTLY.

It's messed up all around yeah.
Yes; dude like 100% visible.
No, no matter where you pan the camera sometimes it just don't start.
No; regardless of distance it's just finicky.
A lot of the times when they don't even see you too because it's wonky.

Do you play survivor much?
Obviously not if you think GF detection mechanics are fine. They've been broken since release and often you will reveal him accidentally when you aren't even trying. Sometimes you didn't even know he was there you were working on a gen and he gets revealed accidentally.
And often you see him and try to break him out but it just won't catch on.
GF reveal mechanics have been incredibly inconsistent since he came out and have never been fixed.
Playing as Ghost Face tells you nothing. You don't know what the survivor was doing when he revealed you. It's when you play Survivor that you see how badly inconsistent it is.
This isn't about it being impossible to reveal Ghost Face. This is about how inconsistent it is.

While there are some wonky stuff that do go on, a lot of the time I've seen people complain and post videos, they're almost always just trying to reveal him wrong.

For sure. There's a right way to reveal him and a wrong way. But often even when you do it right and he's right there in plain view it won't. It's really wonky. That isn't even debatable frankly.
I am sure some of it has to do with server latency as well. Doesn't change that it's very, very inconsistent.

Actually, yes, recently I've been playing more survivor than killer, and I've had no issue breaking ghostface. The issue most people have is they dont play ghostface themselves and thus dont fully understand the best ways to counter him because they don't know how the ability works at base. I can tell you just by looking at a screenshot or frame of video if its viable to break him out (proved this with friends during a night of DbD while waiting for a friend) or if i should instead focus on breaking LoS/getting away.

i was trying to break a gf out when he was just walking at me in the open. it would start and stop for no reason when neither of us were moving.

I've said it for a long time: They need to change the Reveal mechanic from a 2 dimensional area of the screen behind the survivor to a 3d invisible flashlight beam emanating from the survivors heads (due to size differences between the models this would put it at emiting from the avg male survivors chin, and the avg female survivors hairline). Think something like the killers red stain, only wider, invisible, and extending as far as 32 meters, but like the killers Red Stain and flashlights, It's distance can be blocked by objects, especially when the survivor is crouching below them.
This way, survivors can only reveal Ghostface when their characters head is high enough to see him, so no more crouch-hiding behind a box to reveal him, or using the 3rd person camera to reveal him around corners, but it also ensures that the survivors reveal mechanic isn't blocked by their own model anymore, and that a relatively unobstructed view of GF will reveal him every time. To me, this idea just seems more fair, and will work better than the current system does, but what the hell do I know... I'm not a game developer.

I find it's best to just treat him like Mikey. Run from him and block los. Hope someone else reveals him.
