Why didn’t the spirit get the dust effect when phasing?
Wasn’t this feature supposed to make it to the PTB?

It’s overkill, so the devs rightfully excluded it.

I'm speculating on this:
I think it probably didn't work the way they wanted it to, so they decided to hold off on implementing it and keeping it incase they feel that Spirit needs future nerfs.
2 -
I think they said in the patch notes that it wasn't ready in time, so now they're watching the PTB to see if they actually need it.

I hope they decide to test it. Rn I feel no difference facing spirit

There is clearly a big difference with directional sound, maybe your headphone is not good enough.
9 -
Spirit is already easy to locate in loops now, you want even visual cue? Is your headset not working or something?

Because she would stop being an ez win factory then, and the devs can't allow it.

It was not ready in time. And they are thinking and waiting for Feedback if it really should be implemented.
Personally, I did not notice any difference when playing Spirit. Yes, the Survivors had an idea where I was. But I moved so fast while phasing, it did not really matter. That being said, not sure if the Dust-effect will do anything then, because it would still mean the Survivors know where you are, but you are so fast...
Then again, I only tested it on the PTB which is without actual Matchmaking.

Pretty sure they said that there was to many complaints from killers that they decided to wait for a future test to see if it is worth implementing

are you using headphones?

Because then she would have a counterplay
2 -
If supposed counter play is locked behind a hardware wall, that's kind of questionable game design at best. As killer, you can avoid playing spirit altogether, but as survivor you don't get to chose which killers you play against.
I have no idea as to whether this is or isn't the case mind; perhaps somebody could clarify for me?

If they add a dust effect to the spirit's footsteps, they should also add a dust effect to survivors vaulting at pallets. I don't know why the goal is to reduce the information killer's have access to, when information is sometimes more powerful than the killer's power. This whole controversy about the spirit comes down to information accessibility.

If it's fair to see Wraith in his invisibility, it should be fair to see Spirit in hers.
1 -
It's overkill, she's already fair to face in chase. Still strong, but fair and if I get downed I can finally say "nice phase".
Wraith doesn't have a cooldown on his bell and he's 115%. Not even comparable.

Its a questionable game design ? its like that in every video game. If you have good headphone its more easy to play. I got a very good headphone for 30euros only, its not expensive, and I can say exactly where every killer is.
When I play killer I can hear survivors breathing even if they are not injured.
30euros only

Sure, just let Spirit see survivors while she’s phasing too!

You mean like with scratchmarks and grass?
2 -
Not even remotely comparable. Scratchmarks give significantly outdated info if going for a hit. The grass is an indicator, but is situational and not the default scenario. Survivors have an audio queue to tell them where to look, and would see a current visual indicator to where Spirit was (described by the devs as pin-pointing), so long as there is no grass. Seeing your opponent through no grass>seeing your opponent through grass.

Unless he was being sarcastic, the whiny survivor main is trying to equate Wraith to Spirit. You can see Wraith, but he can see you back as well.
Spirit doesn’t see you, so you shouldn’t be able to see her either.
3 -
Not enough time to put it in, also evaluating if the audio change was enough or not.
Personally It 100% feels better playing against spirit with that audio change. Honestly not much has changed, but I don't feel miserable because I could hear her rough position but misplayed which was my fault.

They excluded it for the ptb but it will most likely be in the live midchapter

I dont think you should see spirit. But the argument is bad. Even if you could see spirit, she would be stronger as wraith.

What is your source?

Here is the official statement

No, it’s not going to be live.
