Ghost face is quickly becoming one of my hated killers
I dunno why but since his change I cant reveal him at all. Whether he is chasing me or someone else I just cant do it anymore and I have no idea why...
It use to be so easy now it's near impossible to do it and theres 0 point as they seem to mark you faster than you break them out when they're just standing in the open. I cant even do it when they arent aware I'm looking at them and its beginning to frustrate me when hes clearly in the on centre screen.. lucky I dont see him often, I hate when mechanics clearly arent working right. (28ping, 300min MBs so it's not on my end)
If you're curious my most hated killer is trapper, and it's not because they're too strong I just dont like the gameplay of "if theres a trap you're f" so I kinda dont get much gameplay versing him, either easy win or traps are everywhere as alot of solos dont disarm them so you basically get no chase gameplay which is most fun to me

Some tips on revealing him.
Distance plays a big part, he can still stalk from far away, but you will take longer to reveal him, generally not worth it past a certain point.
When he is leaning, it takes a long time to reveal, don't bother.
When he is crouched, again, it takes longer to reveal, be careful.
He must be directly in the middle of your screen for you to start revealing him.
How I generally reveal ghost face players. When I see him, I immediately run behind a corner or break LoS, then jump out in front of him when he gets closer and break him out.

I know how to but my point is they're in the open and I can't even do it.
I have never struggled before but now I physically cant revel them even when I'm looking directly at them and they're just standing/walking in the open

Don't forget that one of his most recent changes was that you can't reveal him while being marked
2 -
Yeah I'm aware of that change but I wasnt, if he Mark's someone else does that stop it too?
I honestly have no idea why I cant revel them unless I'm massively desync to the killer

Hmm...are you able to mess around with a friend in custom to see how the reveal mechanic feels there? I haven't faced him enough lately to know if it seems buggy.

Ping can play a role too, just move your camera around until you start hearing the reveal noise. I have definitely played against some high ping ghost faces that were nearly impossible to reveal.

Sounds like a great way for him to just stalk you for free - "jump out in front of him when he gets closer". This killer's power is bogus.

Yeah I'm very up to date with all changes, I just dont see him enough to figure out why it's not been working when it use to work completely fine before his last set of tweaks
Maybe iv just gone up against some bad latency Ghostfaces then because some are dead centre in the open. Probably wont see another GF in weeks to know though lol

Keeping track of how much he has you stalked is also important, wouldn't recommending running into a ghost face that has you fully stalked xD

He's pretty easy to reveal. You can even reveal him without looking in his direction and through walls....which really doesn't make sense. I have some footage of it I should post. I have one where I reveal him while I'm looking in the opposite direction. It's just buggy.
Anyway, the trick to revealing him is to put him in the area above the center of your screen. His primary reveal location isn't in the center. If you center him, it'll be inconsistent. Why BHVR coded it that way, I don't know. It's not very intuitive.

There's no way for survivors to do that. And it's already over by the time you begin even trying to reveal him.

I freaking hate Ghost Face too :D
Revealing him is terribly inconsistent (though granted, it has gotten better than what it was previously) and I absolutely hate that he can "stack" his powers.
I hate revealing him, he goes off to chase someone else, then later in the middle of a chase with me, he "stalks" me for the 2 seconds he needs to finish his powers and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. I get that 99ing his powers is part of his gameplay and I have accepted that but I can't stand playing against him because of it. He's not much of a stalker if he's chasing me down for five seconds while I'm staring into the whites of his mask before going into the actual stalk mode to down me in one shot...

Its still horribly inconsistent for me. Sometimes its absurdly easy to reveal him, other times I do be looking right at him and he is very visible and nothing. Then he marks me.

There are several ways to keep track of whether or not the ghost face has you close to being stalked. The first is obviously to keep an eye out for every time he is near you cloaked. The second is to see if he is avoiding M1ing you when he had a chance to hit you. Also if he is trying to blood lust around loops that he should get free hits on. I could go on and on, but to say you just can't keep track of that is pretty ignorant.

I hate him because 90% of Ghostface's just stealth behind a rock near the hook and camp for hook grabs.

Ghost Face had been stomping in all my games after rework, until I learned the new strat against him.
If you’re confident enough in your ability to loop, I suggest designating yourself as GF’s shadow.
Basically, you follow Ghost Face around and pull him out of stalk whenever he is trying to mark another survivor. If he chases the other survivor, hop on their gen and keep line of sight on the chase. If the chase goes on for roughly a minute, and is still close to you, hop off the gen and go get ready to pull GF out of stalk so he can’t mindgame your teammate.
If at any point you’re confident he has you 99% marked, take a protection hit while he is carrying another survivor.
If you want to have more fun against Trapper (or Hag), I suggest the same exact playstyle. Disarm all traps immediately after they are set.
Power denial goes a long way

This is a fun idea! But why do you suggest taking a protection hit specifically when you're close to being marked?
0 -
Survivors reveal me just fine and I reveal Ghostface players just fine. I am not sure it is buggy, maybe your "muscle memory" is just screwy. I would mess around and try to do it slightly differently to see if you get better results. I would need to see what you were doing to actually help, but I would just experiment a bit with it next time you run into him instead of playing the match out normally.

Similar to how a myers will 99% T3, then tier-up when he can secure a down, a good Ghost Face won't hit you if you're not marked. I've helped many a survivor wiggle off because the killer stubbornly refused to take my protection hit
It is better to take the hit, with the possibility of being healed later, than to risk being insta-downed out of the blue
0 -
But your stalk meter doesn’t reset unless you’re marked or downed, right? So you’ll still be 99’ed after taking the protection hit (unless I’m mistaken).
Edit: I was mistaken.

Anytime Ghost Face injures you, the stalk progress will reset
1 -
same but its because ghost faces reveal is so random the man could be standing next to u and u dont reveal him
or u could be 50 meters further behind a tree and u reveal him instantly its just based on luck at this point

Complaining about ghostface is comical.
0 -
they really should remove that. its annoying that you lose stalk progress for m1. imagine myer's loses evil within 2 progress for m1 a survivor.

Reveal Mechanick is WACK and always will be until BHVR stop using a % of the body on the middle % of survivors screen.
