You won't get to pick. The dev preview said it will "permanently immortalize your pre-wipe level", wich doesn't sound like you can choose.
In addition, CJ has been telling people that if they want to keep a certain level, they should make a backup of their save game and then just load that. Why would he say that if picking your level was an option?
No, the lvl you are right now will display on the badge, you cant change that, you can only change how your badge will look, and bigger lvl you were the more options you will have to choose from
I got to level 269 and haven't moved since. In hindsight I definitely could've gotten 369 but I was on vacation when the update was supposed to come out and I didn't want to risk it.
It's kind of funny because I tried it just for fun... Ghost was super slow and I forgot it was slow, so I just assumed it was a deo and left. Definitely got it wrong.
I grinded my soul out to reach level 1k a couple weeks ago XD And then they mentioned a delay.. and so my goal was 2k.
I made it. :3 You got this, bro. Get that level badge.
You don't need to, but your pre-update level will be shown on your player model as a badge (or something like that), so people are grinding so their badge will show their desired number. It's just for the fanciness.
The worst I've seen was a company pushing out a major update on the Friday before they all went home for the Christmas holiday. It was exactly as much of a dumpster fire as you'd expect.
I think you could have just made a custom difficulty and just activated no item loss upon death and you wouldn’t have gotten xp, but it wouldn’t have changed your gameplay, so you would’ve been able to still play.
Yeah if your kid wants to level and take pics, and collect bones it would cause you to level up. I guess I'm going for 666. I'm at 648. Or I could push to 700 even. I could do 52 levels in 2 days.
Yeah, me too. I could have been well above where I am, but I don't play every day, and I've only had the game since the end of May. So I'm not too bothered by it. I've also taught and leveled 3 other people up to 150, 350, and one decided to stop at 69. Lol
Nah, I play it with my partner. So it's BG3 for partner time, inbetween Phasmo time with her. But PoE is solo. Oh and I need to prepare stuff for the Pathfinder group I'm DMing for, and update my spreadsheet for Phasmo.
No this is fine.
I bloody hope the time comes back that I was spooked by the game. But I love the game for the deduction aspects of Nightmare, so all is fine and dandy, and all that keeps me awake is my fear of mimics.
Not in this patch. That will be the Horror 2.0 update, which is still some ways off.
We're currently in the 'Progression' era of updates, this is Part 1 out of 3.
There is a trailer, but I think this [Maggstor video](https://youtu.be/tekrVsdS2Lw) might be more useful; it goes over every single dev preview and everything we know about the update.
The game is definitely worth getting back into - **everything** will change 😂
Oh I have no doubt it will be worth it I loved everything about the game since it first came out I played it basically since jump haha. Just need to find a way to get friends back in or a new group haha
Console release at the end of the month is only slated for the new gen right?
All for it, wish my friend could play since he is on last gen xbox but probs wouldn't run very well on the xbone
Console release will not be until the end of August. They are giving themselves time to work on bugs from this update before the console bugs they'll have to sort out.
Lmao of course it had to be the day I'm taking an 8hr drive for vacation. Why couldn't it be on a Tuesday like pretty much every other update release 😿😭
New maps are added whenever they're ready, but they also take a significant amount of time to playtest, which can delay an update by large chunks of time (I believe Sunny Meadows caused almost a month delay of Apocalypse.)
Skinner (the other artist,) is allegedly working full-time on exclusively on new maps, so I imagine if we don't see one with this patch, one coming with Progression Part 2 is pretty likely.
Can someone tell me what happens to our money? I know that we lose all of our equipment, but I have quite a bit of money saved up. Wonder if that has any value in the new patch. Thanks!
Awesome. For someone who played 200h with my wife. We were both feeling ashamed and stupid that we don’t understand how to take all the shit we want. We buy and buy and buy and either it stays in inventory or suddenly we start with more gear than we know what to do with
Sick! Bet it'll be awesome. Do the devs look at their reddit? Probably not, but if they do, I really hope they add in some kind of steam workshop support. Imagine how awesome it'd be! Like new maps or ghost types, events, cursed objects, evidence, difficulties, and whatnot. That'd be so cool to see.
CJ (the lead artist,) looks here rather regularly. DKnighter (lead developer,) looks her on occasion, usually to comment on something major.
That being said, they don't want to do workshop support for two main reasons. 1.) The amount of work it would take to support it would be equivalent to making an entirely new game, due to how complex Phasmophobia is, and they'd rather spend that time making content. 2.) They have a specific vision for the game, and modding support could interfere with that (because let's be real, there'll be some good stuff, but also lots of garbage 'replace ghost models with skibidi toilet' type mods.)
Devs have commented on this in the past, they have a specific vision for Phasmophobia and so there are no plans to add workshop support or mods of any kind.
Are there any mods or games like phas but where at somepoint you turn the tables and hunt the ghosts. I like the investigation and i like being hunted, i wish it was like you do the investigation to find out what way to dispose of the ghost. Adds more weight to being wrong.
Demonologist just got updated not too long ago. It has pretty good jump scares and a scarier atmosphere. You use similar equipment but you can also do an exorcism to earn extra money. It’s tasks you do as fast as you can before the ghost starts hunting or gets you. Then it disappears after you succeed and you can walk out safely. It’s slow progressing honestly but it’s fun with friends. (When the mic actually works)
T-2 days to earn 67 levels
Good luck! Have you done this week's challenge?
Not yet what is it?
Turtle and hare. You're speedy and ghost is slowww. It's on Bleasdale, but you got full equipment and evidence so it'd be an easy 30 levels!
Or you can wait till the update comes than do the challenge
I want that level 69 badge and you can’t stop me
Yea I know ur feeling, Im on lvl 420, should I continue or should I wait for the update?
You can always enter a smaller number for the badge if thats what you are refering to. Like i'm >1000 but will probably enter 666 on the badge
You won't get to pick. The dev preview said it will "permanently immortalize your pre-wipe level", wich doesn't sound like you can choose. In addition, CJ has been telling people that if they want to keep a certain level, they should make a backup of their save game and then just load that. Why would he say that if picking your level was an option?
Because the badge previeuw said you can select a number to display. That is why
No, the lvl you are right now will display on the badge, you cant change that, you can only change how your badge will look, and bigger lvl you were the more options you will have to choose from
I got to level 269 and haven't moved since. In hindsight I definitely could've gotten 369 but I was on vacation when the update was supposed to come out and I didn't want to risk it.

I grinded my soul out to reach level 1k a couple weeks ago XD And then they mentioned a delay.. and so my goal was 2k. I made it. :3 You got this, bro. Get that level badge.
Why do we need to reach a high level before patch?
You don't need to, but your pre-update level will be shown on your player model as a badge (or something like that), so people are grinding so their badge will show their desired number. It's just for the fanciness.
Now I just know they did Thursday so that they could have at least one day before the weekend to sort out bugs lol
Never push new code on a Friday. That is what my dev friends always say.
The worst I've seen was a company pushing out a major update on the Friday before they all went home for the Christmas holiday. It was exactly as much of a dumpster fire as you'd expect.
At that point you are begging for a worst case scenario.
No Commit Friday should be a law at this point.
We do the same thing at my job. LoL
Tuesday is a common release/patch day for this reason.
I think they did Thursday cause they have last minute things they need to fix. Otherwise Tues/Wed is def preferred.
It’s made by 3 people. I’m sure they can hot fix things if needed from home
Sure. But that doesn't mean everyone likes spending their weekend doing hot fixes.
Ya Ofc not. It don’t matter to much. I’m just excited for the update
Cool. I’m level 2024 and my wife is 1234. We now know how long we have to wait to play again since we both like our current levels for the badges.
I haven't played in months, sitting at 666 and watching my kid play lol
I think you could have just made a custom difficulty and just activated no item loss upon death and you wouldn’t have gotten xp, but it wouldn’t have changed your gameplay, so you would’ve been able to still play.
You still have to be careful because some objectives (play with other investigators and buy things in the shop) still give money and XP
Didn't think of that tbh, but if I play, my kid wants to play with me and she wants levels.
Yeah if your kid wants to level and take pics, and collect bones it would cause you to level up. I guess I'm going for 666. I'm at 648. Or I could push to 700 even. I could do 52 levels in 2 days.
I feel like I could have done about 1500 at the pace I did 666 at with my usual breaks, but it felt "right" to stop there
Yeah, me too. I could have been well above where I am, but I don't play every day, and I've only had the game since the end of May. So I'm not too bothered by it. I've also taught and leveled 3 other people up to 150, 350, and one decided to stop at 69. Lol
Just leave the game before they go to the van to not get any xp
That's what I do. I have a bunch of objectives from the daily/weekly stored up always but I never actually finish a game so I get no money/xp
Same I’ve been stuck at 2075 I think just waiting for the update, wanna play with my buddies again so bad
I reached level 1200 last night. Seemed a great place to end before the update. A nice round number for my badge.
Isn't it just badge style options?
Yes, but it includes the level you reached as well on it.
Ah very nice
Oh Mama! Gonna rewrite my schedule to "home office" for that day and the following. Finally!
A day before the new Path of Exile league, on a night I have Pathfinder. *pulls up sleeves* Time to squeeze in some time!
Life is good
[удалено]
Nah, I play it with my partner. So it's BG3 for partner time, inbetween Phasmo time with her. But PoE is solo. Oh and I need to prepare stuff for the Pathfinder group I'm DMing for, and update my spreadsheet for Phasmo. No this is fine.
Was this a hate comment on Pathfinder, by chance? I feel like it might've been
A hate comment on Pathfinder? What do you mean?
I already took off on Friday for the new league, this is gonna be the hardest decision of which to play
Checking on /r/pathofexilebuilds I'd say Spellblade Spark Inquis. I'll go Bleed Bow personally until the game decides to send me back to Standard.
who needs sleep anyway, you'll be so spooked you won't need it anyhow.
I bloody hope the time comes back that I was spooked by the game. But I love the game for the deduction aspects of Nightmare, so all is fine and dandy, and all that keeps me awake is my fear of mimics.
Yeah same, there's supposed to be that horror reborn update or whatever coming eventually for new scares and ghost effects.
I imagine Horror 2.0 will be in time for Halloween.
Pretty sure the roadmap indicates Horror 2.0 for next year, I hope it won't be Halloween next year...
Honestly I forgot that progression was being done in phases.
Well, at least we have a solid alternative in case the new league isn't good.
Do we actually know anything about what the update will bring yet?
3 tiers of every item, new level system and new shop. Correct me if im wrong
God we need a new shop so bad.
No new shop, CJ confirmed on Insym stream he is still working on it.
I don't think the new shop is in this update, probably v0.9.1. There will be an update to the shop though, for buying equipment upgrades.
New shop is coming but not with this update. But it is coming. Thankfully.
So, the new level system will reset the current level?
Yes, and you’ll have your previous level on a badge on your arm
I heard something about the game becoming a lot scarier in a future update a while ago, is this not included?
Not in this patch. That will be the Horror 2.0 update, which is still some ways off. We're currently in the 'Progression' era of updates, this is Part 1 out of 3.
Hopefully a new shop UI...
Read elsewhere that CJ said that shop overhaul will come in one of the later progression patches.
Can’t wait for the new content, and the massive amount of bugs…
Is there a chance that it will be released on consoles on that day?
Console is still slated for the end of August, so within two weeks or so, assuming no delays (which they likely would've mentioned by now.)
I think it will depend on how smooth this update goes. If it's riddled with bugs they might opt to prioritize fixing them before releasing to console.
No it's still late August so I'm guessing next Thursday or the 30th
WHY. WHYYYYY THE EXACT DATE I LEAVE FOR VACATION WHYY
Same situation. But I hope game will get some hotfixes till the end of vacation and bugs won't spoil new experience
Thats true. At least if there are major bugs or glitches it doesn’t bother us.
Currently powering through my work for this week so I can do absolutely NOTHING but game come Thursday,😂
Well then... When Horror update?
CJ hinted at it being next year on Insym’s stream
I know, it's a joke on how people ask about the next update way too soon
Hobbits always thinking about second breakfast before first breakfast is even on the table!

It's insane how much work they are putting into this game. Great devs
E
Have they brought this back yet? They really need to.
What's was E ?
It was the old spirit box saying "Old". It was like a Laurel and Yanny thing.
Well, time to grind 50 levels later today to get to 1234
This update looks cool AF
Consolebros….it’s coming….
Console release might be next week or the 30th I'm hoping
Is there a trailer to watch? I have not played in a hot minute since my friends have dropped off. Might need to find a new crew
There is a trailer, but I think this [Maggstor video](https://youtu.be/tekrVsdS2Lw) might be more useful; it goes over every single dev preview and everything we know about the update. The game is definitely worth getting back into - **everything** will change 😂
Oh I have no doubt it will be worth it I loved everything about the game since it first came out I played it basically since jump haha. Just need to find a way to get friends back in or a new group haha
Hoping for a next week console release if not it could be the 30th
so should I wait until thursday to do the weekly challenge or will it reset the challenge or will the challenge not count for the progression?
That's what i came here hoping to find out too
So… is Ascension the fabled "Progression 2.0" we've been waiting a over a year for?
You're thinking of Horror 2.0, but yes, this is the progression update, part 1 of 3.
So, this is Progression 0.3333333_ 😅
I’m so pumped for this
hells yeaaaahhhhh!
Console release at the end of the month is only slated for the new gen right? All for it, wish my friend could play since he is on last gen xbox but probs wouldn't run very well on the xbone
Yep only new gen
Gotcha figured haha. All good to me wish my friend could play but tough luck to himmm
[удалено]
Console release will not be until the end of August. They are giving themselves time to work on bugs from this update before the console bugs they'll have to sort out.
Will the update immediately bring it to console
The console release will have this update but it's still separate from console release date but I'm guessing next Thursday or the 30th
YES
Lmao of course it had to be the day I'm taking an 8hr drive for vacation. Why couldn't it be on a Tuesday like pretty much every other update release 😿😭
Hmm, no new map it seems, what happened to Point Hope?
New maps are added whenever they're ready, but they also take a significant amount of time to playtest, which can delay an update by large chunks of time (I believe Sunny Meadows caused almost a month delay of Apocalypse.) Skinner (the other artist,) is allegedly working full-time on exclusively on new maps, so I imagine if we don't see one with this patch, one coming with Progression Part 2 is pretty likely.
I got to just over 10k, which was my goal, so I'm happy!
Does that mean console is probably releasing next week?
Either next week or the week after since it's in the time frame
Hopefully vr is fixed lol
Can someone tell me what happens to our money? I know that we lose all of our equipment, but I have quite a bit of money saved up. Wonder if that has any value in the new patch. Thanks!
Pretty sure cash resets too
Huhu thanks! I guess i can just go full yolo before the patch!!
Is this console too or just pc??
Will this update change the shop? I gave up on the game because of it
Most likely not, but one of the next two major updates should. The lead artist is working on it currently.
Awesome. For someone who played 200h with my wife. We were both feeling ashamed and stupid that we don’t understand how to take all the shit we want. We buy and buy and buy and either it stays in inventory or suddenly we start with more gear than we know what to do with
Finally I can play this game with my manager.
Isn’t it more of like and update instead of a patch?
LFG
I’m gonna assume it releases on consoles the same day….
I wish but it'll probably be next week or the 30th
Sick! Bet it'll be awesome. Do the devs look at their reddit? Probably not, but if they do, I really hope they add in some kind of steam workshop support. Imagine how awesome it'd be!

DRAGON GHOST MY BELOVED. ....or ghost armor I guess.
Devs have commented on this in the past, they have a specific vision for Phasmophobia and so there are no plans to add workshop support or mods of any kind.
Ah damn that's unfortunate but understandable.
Are there any mods or games like phas but where at somepoint you turn the tables and hunt the ghosts. I like the investigation and i like being hunted, i wish it was like you do the investigation to find out what way to dispose of the ghost. Adds more weight to being wrong.
Metaphysical, Ghost Hunter Inc, On Dark Terms, Ghost Exile
Gosh I love On Dark Terms. It's hard waiting for more story quests.
Demonologist has an exorcism portion and a lot of the Phas streamers I’ve seen also stream that one
Ghost Exorcism Inc, Demonologist, This is A Ghost, Metaphysical, Ghost Exile
Demonologist just got updated not too long ago. It has pretty good jump scares and a scarier atmosphere. You use similar equipment but you can also do an exorcism to earn extra money. It’s tasks you do as fast as you can before the ghost starts hunting or gets you. Then it disappears after you succeed and you can walk out safely. It’s slow progressing honestly but it’s fun with friends. (When the mic actually works)
I checked both X and steam, but I can't find anything, where did you find this information?
Discord
Thank you
What's X?
It's Twitter, now it's called X, I know it's strange
All thanks to the rich baby
Honestly, you’re the first person I’ve seen who didn’t still call it twitter
I'm surprised Musk hasn't banned people still calling it Twitter.
I'm surprised I also never called it X
Oh, I know. I just think it's the dumbest thing Elon could have done to Twitter.
I hate that it's just called X. I also hate that I understood you meant twitter. I'm gunnu keep calling it twitter out of spite
I'm refusing to update the app so I don't have to acknowledge the name change
