As a few of us delve into investigations, we are reaching a point where we do not know how to proceed. Is there a bug here? Is there something undocumented?
When someone reaches 100% on an Investigation: what is next? Upon reaching 100%, there was no sign of how to proceed. No messaging.
The helpfile reads:
Hauntings can be investigated by other PCs and eventually ended if those investigators succeed in unmasking all the details.
Does this mean you need to complete everything? How is this achievable when the haunter can technically add a clue every week if they’re active? And does it include getting all witness statements? If so, that is a gross oversight as witnesses might stop playing or might be available during hours you are not.
There is another issue as well with witnesses: because the message they receive is simply a pop-up and not logged anywhere, many players have no idea to pay attention to or remember it. And I personally have had a lot of difficulty explaining to people how to make witness statements (even if they’re just saying they don’t remember anything). I really feel there was a missed opportunity there by not having them be part of the clue system or otherwise logged.
What does the ‘investigate closedown’ command do? The helpfile for investigations does not explain this command at all. Does it just wipe your board for cases like a haunting no longer being active (the character being killed, leaving the game, etc) or is it the way to proceed to finish if you hit 100%?
Additionally, is there a way to increase the likelihood of triggering the opportunity/incitement that is generated between investigator and haunter?
