Ghostface Power question...

If Ghost has a 32m terror radius how are they supposed to be a creepy stalking killer?...

He can remove his TR for 5 seconds but we are supposed to crouch around and find a good angle to peek around corners and stalk?...

Wouldn't the 5 seconds be up by the time you could even get into position?

Hopefully they change this.

    I see your point, but keep in mind that nothing we have seen is by any means final, and is almost certainly subject to change, especially after the PTB.

    Why even mention PTB? I'm telling you right now he'll be bottom tier.

    @TheShape78 Why bother with the PTB. The developers got a massive track-record of ignoring feedback given to them. Might as well not have any PTBs anymore, since they don't listen.

    From what I understand he stalks survivors in 2 ways. The first seems on an individual basis where he applies Exposed to a single survivor at a time. The second is universal, where he loses his TR/red stain and becomes a stealth killer. Not 100% sure if that's it, but that's what I've gathered watching leaked game play.

    So I imagine the idea would be to stalk survivors and put Exposed on them, then after getting your stealth you activate it when several survivors are Exposed so you can sneak up and one shot them.

    The power's add-on have references to "spotters". If I had to guess, I'd say the "Shrouded Hunt" has a meter that slowly depletes as long as nobody has direct visuals on you but quickly goes down if someone looks directly your way.

    For all we know, Shrouded Hunt could have a 15 second base timer, which would be sufficient to reach a survivor and stalk them before they could ever hear your terror radius.

    In the gameplay footage that was released a few days ago, the survivor was always looking at the Ghost, which would explain why the power lasted for so little.

    Its not full implemented i know that 32m of a stalking and stealthy killer shouldnt have 32m tr so i think they are doing the same way as the pig have it will remove while crouching you and hes power should be at least 20s without speed penalty and the recover soeed should be alot faster than the video ive seen and no sound notification of entering stealth mode with that change

    At 9:50 you can see that his power bar isn't being decreased. I suppose there's a certain condition that determines if the power bar should be decreasing or not. People say that the Ghostface should be in the survivor's FOV - that's when his power bar starts decreasing. But this can change of course.

    It's called testing, maybe the numbers are not meant to be 5 seconds and they are just testing the power to make sure it removes the Tr completely and It doesnt have any bugs.

    It takes 7-8 seconds to cover 32m as a 115%ms killer, he'll probably have like 10-12 seconds of no Tr when he activates the power. The devs could even make him a 24m Tr killer if they want to keep the numbers.

    Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the changes to end game collapse were the direct result of the PTB feedback, for instance.
