So I learned something about Spirit from Ayrun's stream today.
So Ayrun basically said that the devs had removed the ability for survivors to hear her footsteps while she's phasing. He said that patch was around a year ago
Why would they do that? I tested it out with a friend in a custom game, and I could not hear the footsteps at all. Also I had them move through tall grass to see if she could atleast interacting with the environment, and she didn't move the grass at all.
How is this fair exactly? I shouldn't need to run Lucky Break + Iron Will to bring her down to a manageable level. This means that Spirit currently is just pure guesswork, I've even tried looking at her shards ranging from low - Ultra graphics, no difference.

From my understanding, that was a bug. Now, I agree that it SHOULD be a thing but that's the reason.

well, did ayrun provide any proof for that claim? cause, y'know, judging by how they are on twitter they are quite bigmouthed and spiteful...

Not even just that, the fact that Spirit has no collision with grass in phase is ridiculous.

welll GrimReaperJr1232 here said that survivors hearing her footsteps was a bug, but I'll see what I can find.

well, a bug not disabling her footsteps sounds is def NOT the same as a path enabling her footstep sounds.
If ayrun claimed they know there was such patch when there wasn't...

Idk cause I'm watching this Anti-Spirit guide and it was made Mar 8, 2020 which is a little over a year old. In the video i can hear her footsteps.
However in more recent videos I cannot hear her footsteps. Still tryin to see if I can find patch notes on it.

Yeah but this is the thing:
Ayrun seems to claim the devs had a patch TO have the footsteps hearable, when it's more likely that it was a bug that didn't call for setting the footsteps' sound being set to off when she's phasing.
This kinda bug is hard to spot (especially in spaghetti code), cause even if it's just an *if function, the culprit for it not calling the operation can be anywhere.

after straining my eyes for like 30 minutes reading patch notes i cant find anything about footsteps. So it might just be a bug then which makes them non-existent.
But I've never been able to hear her footsteps for months, and if this was a bug I'm pretty sure tons of people would've noticed it already. All I know is that Spirit's footsteps are non-existent. and she has no collision with tall grass when phasing.

I've been saying this for awhile now but people would always say I was wrong. She has NO TELLS. That's what makes her unfun. She doesn't move grass, corn and makes no noise but a hiss.
