Ghostie's reveal mechanic should have been worked on before adding him to 2v8
I'm grateful to the devs for adding more killers to the 2v8 roster, however ghostie's reveal mechanic remains wonky and inconsistent in 2v8, if this mechanic was looked at before adding him to 2v8 it sure doesn't show, add to that a new reveal bug has now propped up (at least in 2v8, I haven't played him in 1v4 since his addition to 2v8).
Aside from a buff and slight re-work (which is sorely needed but a subject for another thread) at the very least the reveal mechanic needs to be looked at moving forward, a licensed killer should not go this long without fixes since his release.

I don't think he's actually liscensed, is he? We ALL know who he is though

Technically he is just as far as using the mask. He's not licensed as a Scream character, however.

His reveal definitely needs to be worked on. It's very frustrating and sometimes really difficult to play him viably when survivors are able to reveal him through walls, and in some cases, even reveal him when he's entirely BEHIND them. It makes dodging out of sight pretty much impossible. It doesn't help that survivors got a buff against him (one of the weakest killers in the game) that let's survivors keep their "reveal" progress on him for a while even if he does somehow manage to dip out of sight. That means once he pops back out again, he's near instantly revealed.
At the very least, they need to make it where if he breaks LOS, then the revealing progress ceases immediately. Either that, or make it take slightly longer to reveal to counter latency.

The reveal mechanic is pretty trash, from every aspect. In 2v8 I'm getting revealed so fast and if there's a bot in the match it needs to be tunneled out asap or you're not going to be able to even use your power. Playing against him, half the time he's not even getting knocked out of his power when I'm directly staring at him as he's stalking someone. The entire mechanic needs a gloss up and for 2v8 he needs buffs.

His reveal is quite glitchy but I think it is meant to be used as an info tool somewhat, since it gives you Killer Instinct. There's even addons built around being revealed on purpose or punishing excessive reveals.

Didn't know that. Weird

Aye, they got the license from FunWorld to use the ghost face mask. The Scream movie also got the license from FunWorld, as well. Long story short, the mask itself belongs to FunWorld. Scream paid to use the mask and then made their own story\movie\characters. BHVR likely couldn't just do a Scream license since Scream doesn't own the mask itself, so if they wanted to do a Scream license, they'd probably have to pay for both the Mask license from FunWorld AND the Scream owners for Scream characters. Probably too expensive for a single chapter, so they just licensed the mask itself then made their own "homebrew" character which isn't related to the Scream movie.

What a strange turn of events! Thank you for the explanation!
