Hmm Christmas sweaters and new tints. If they're still adding content it seems more likely they might add some tie ins to Frozen Empire come spring.

Did those ever come out? Otherwise, perhaps they will time it to release with a Patch 1.7.2 in theory. The other question is will DLC 5 be free or paid? If they follow the same schedule as last year, it would come out January 30. To be honest, I've been solely focused on Rise of the Ghost Lord and haven't been paying much attention to Spirits.

Frozen Empire DLC - cosmetics & Pukey? (paid or otherwise)
More streamer skin exclusives to unlock for the remaining ghost types.
& then possibly...
Stay Puft as a ghost in some form. Possibly a similar boss level to Sam Hain.
And if that is the case, then Garaka as a boss level seems like a shoe-in as well.
And I imagine the game will drop on PS Plus sometime this year.
I'd like to see a narrative expansion, third floor to the Firehouse, customisable firehouse (different Ectos) etc. a few new maps maybe, minion skins/types. But... tbh the game feels feature complete, and knowing Illfonic they'll be moving on to other projects.

They've been pretty clear about it for over a year.You think they'll retrofit the new elements of Frozen Empire in to the game? Like change Eddie's clothes to those of the ghostbusters engineering division and put the hood stripes on the ecto?
If we get any new story elements, I think it'll just tie into Frozen Empire.

I'm really hoping for a QoL update that introduces more viable build options for Buster's gear. Right now there's really only a few configurations that really work, in terms of Meta, and having more and different options for us to tinker and engineer with would go a long ways in extending the life of the game.

It would be nice to use the RGB thrower without the cutscenes showing the player's hands just floating.I know they're WELL aware with it (along with the hose being the wrong color for RGB). It's been brought up with every shell release and every shell has their issues. I'm sure it's more along the lines of what's a priority to fix and less of a "nah, not worth our time".

A new 30 gig patch is out. It's not ACTIVE, but it appears to be a pre-download for 1.7.3.
A new PAID DLC is out. It unlocks ALL cosmetics not behind the tenure walls. It also contains 5 unique and exclusive cosmetic patches for your uniform.
Reading the description of the Cosmetic Pack, it mentions not only CURRENT cosmetics, but future cosmetics as well.
Patch 1.7.3 is due out soon, however, some fixes seem to have "leaked" into the live build. Ecto goggles APPEAR to be "fixed" and can now see ghosts in objects from a much greater distance.
zeta otaku wrote: ↑January 18th, 2024, 3:47 pm Oh, no, my games automatically downloaded the 30 gig patch. But the game is still version 1.7.2. A friend of mine noticed their Outboard Chipset working differently (outline instead of completely highlighted) and I randomly tried out the ecto goggles... which is why I said some fixes may have bled into the current build of the game.Thanks and no worries! Hmm, strange the patch downloaded on a Thursday. Maybe it 1.7.3. goes live next week. Odd it wasn't mentioned in this week's stream.
Nothing in 1.7.3 has been listed, leaked or anything. I chose my words poorly.
here's what's in the $7 Contract Access Pack

It IS strange that this wasn't brought up yesterday on stream, but it was "only" a community stream, and I don't think they wanted to get bogged down with the same "WHAT FUTURE CONTENT WILL THERE BE?!" questions. The Twitch chat tends to get rowdy when ignored during the streams...

But I have been noticing the streams have hyped the new patches/DLC's less and less in advance and they don't really say anything until the last minute.
That said, I'm going to be doing some testing with the Outboard Chipset and Ecto Goggles tonight to see if what I saw earlier was a fluke or if there was actually some bleed through.
zeta otaku wrote: ↑January 18th, 2024, 5:14 pm That's because they never really WORKED outside of private matches and only if you were the host. Now? NOW they'll highlight all haunted objects in the color of the ghost.Oh! And neat.
zeta otaku wrote: ↑January 18th, 2024, 5:14 pm you could TELL Albert was super annoyed by it.Right? I'm glad it was just me. Even Jordan is varying levels of perturbed when he appears - imagine all the work he must be doing behind the scenes.
zeta otaku wrote: ↑January 19th, 2024, 2:17 am Pay for Advantage in a multiplayer game where balance is constantly being fought about would be terrible.lol, imagine if they brought back Game Shark or Game Genie. That's basically what this pack is, instant gratification with no hard work done. I can see where timeware is coming off. For the players who have been playing the game since day 1 and put in the mind-numbing effort to get the Level 100 Tenure 5 or whatever we're at, got all the contracts done. Then this comes up, $7 and 5 new patches. I'm sure some would rather do a new contract to get them. Idk, was that crazy talk? EH.
