Ghostface QoL Suggestions 2023

Ever since the leaning issue was fixed with Ghostface this year he's been a lot less clunky to play. However, there are some small things I'd like to address as an 8k hr GF main.

-Lighten up the shadowy effects at the edge of your screen when stalking.

  1. At a higher level a lot of ghostface players lean-stalk with the intention of reconnaissance rather than to actually stalk someone; this allows a player to surveill an area and hide well without accidentally marking someone. This is done by stalking through the edge of the screen, however the effects can make it difficult.

-When starting to stalk, gradually decelerate to the intended stalk movement speed over a period of a half-second rather than coming to a stop too suddenly.

  1. As you probably know, Ghostface players like to stalk players up to 99% only to down them later. However, when marking a player and going for the down, the sudden deceleration is often enough for a player to reach a pallet, especially with perks like Sprint Burst. Making ghostface slow down gradually will feel a lot smoother and avoid tedious situations like this, without being given a down for free.

I'm not sure where Ghostie is currently at kill-rate wise, but I think small changes like these will help make him feel more fluid and mechanically appealing without unfairly affecting these rates.

    All I want is for leaning to not be such a pain to activate. It's annoying going to lean on something but for some reason the prompt doesn't appear.

    Otherwise I'm fine with Ghostface.

    This as well, not sure how they'd address it though

    The billowing noise on some of the shrouds is louder than others.

    Terror tassels on all shrouds that have them should drop to the floor when ducking so they don't clip through the environment to give you away or float up into your face and ruin your stalk attempt.

    The effects of 'Chewed Pen' and 'Lasting Perfume' should be base kit, these add-ons in addition to 'Cinch Straps' and 'Marked Map' need new functions.

    Chase should not start if Nightshroud is active while you're ducking.

    Progress on a reveal should completely reset if you lose sight of Ghostface unless you're hooked or in the dying state.

    Losing collision while stalking should not happen for Ghostface or Myers as it makes no sense for the current state of the game.

    Scoring 4 Marked Downs should earn a single knife-throw (think Scream 3).

    The dual knife mori from Scream 5 would be nice.
