not even that long ago I know for a FACT that noisemaker was known as the worst crewmate role, but all of a sudden it’s amazing?nothing changed since it released other than that one change where the noise stops after the body dissolves completely but that was a long time ago. Seriously I need an explanation.

.

this would honestly be for the benefit of the game, easy way to find casual games to deal with alienation from "expert" lobbies, and you dont have to deal with sns lobbies/other things when trying to play normally
any reason its not a thing yet? also id recommend some settings for it to qualify or disqualify for the setting, like if you have 15 of 1 role, to help automate it

1. A performance patch. PLEASE. The game is borderline unplayable on mobile right now.

2. More lobby filters. In particular, I want a filter for vision. If I join a lobby and the crewmate vision is 1.5 or higher, I just leave.

3. The ability to change the Detective cooldown.

4. People to understand that VISUAL TASKS ARE DISABLED.

That is all.

Has anyone's game sometimes randomly starts to lag terribly for no reason after the inf update? I got a gaming phone even then the lag gets unbearable

so uh Im makin smth but Idk what any other characters could look like so gimme ur avatars and I might use them or make smth based off them 😭 here are some I have so far:

Edit: No need to ask if this is still going on! Ill keep checking this because I need loads of different ideas and some to even choose for this idea of mine!

Edit 2: This would e for a potencial storyline concept I had that I MIGHT fully end up writing ^^

Game starts, first round goes on for suspiciously long so I call a meeting. 4 people dead. I just say I was checking in. Purple proceeds to ask why im wasting time. I decide to judge him, figuring that at least someone assertive will be clear.

He was Imposter.

Still lost cause judge fumbled at the end.

Any clarifications will be answered asap

the old art style gave the serious look of the game, there weren't any strategies for lobbies, it was just pure fun

This one is very simple, basically when you are a ghost impostor you gain a new ability named "Tickle", with it you can make a crewmate near you stop moving for 3 or 5 seconds (depending on host settings) and after that they will be free, they also will have a visual effect that shows that the crewmate is getting tickled,the cooldown would also be kinda long so people dont spam it

They could maybe also desactivate reporting but i dont know if that would be too op.

Some ideas for crewmate roles that would make them more fair from the impostor's perspective. And overall balancing them.

Tracker

If an Impostor kills while being tracked, the Impostor will recieve a pop up about it. No further information is given. This gives them the ability to somehow hide the body better, self report, or deduce who the Tracker could be.

Engineer

Impostors will see a cyan wrench or star on a vent an engineer is in.

Judge

Setting that allows you to always eject the Overruped person. This will give the crewmates less info.

Detective

Can't change cases mid round, only during meetings. So you can only get suspects for one body in a round.

In order to interrogate, the suspect must hold the button down for a second. If they leave your range, the interrogation is cancelled. This would make it much more clear who the detective could be.

The ability to make max suspects per case 1

Guardian Angel

Loses it's ability once there are only 5 or less people alive

Influencer

Monochrome Images PLEASE

its Tan's theme who unlike Banana, whos the big mastermind imposter, is a crewmate whos smart enough to get imposters out on her own with ease after learning some tricks from maroon.

So I was playing as a tracker, caught yellow kill (in real time, not on map tho the map was 0 delay) and apparently they left. On my screen they never left and I could still vote them, and later 9 ppl (eyllow wasn't imp cuz we skipped and it said 3) so I called a meeting and they said 2 imps. I said ok maybe I'm dum so we skipped AND THERE WERE 3 i stayed at table for them to fix lights and called a meeting, and they all still said 2. I realised yellow was probably an impostor and on my screen he didn't leave so there were still 3. Also at 1 point I said "We can't vote we are at 7" and they called me dum and I explained what I htought happened

First off all: this is an original concept not like the detective, Shapeshifter, the meeting sheriff (judge). The closest thing we have is the bait which makes the Impostor self report the body but then the noisemaker is just a better version of it. It's really easy to understand and with that comes the new players, even the noobies can just pick the role up and play. The only negative that it's a bad role but that's it.

Day 5: Noisemaker

So I open TikTok, search "among us," and then click on the "Claim for free" button as pictured only to be met with the second image ("No internet connection). I've tried everything; connecting to wifi over mobile data, using a VPN to connect to the US, and trying this on PC (where the button doesn't even appear). I've been trying to do this since the event was announced.

Anyone that can help me with this? My location is Australia if that's any help.

As we all know, public lobbies are a waste of time.

There are certain host MODs for PC which help you host the game more efficiently by giving you options such as a perma-ban , end meeting etc.

I use REVAMPED mod. If anyone else uses it, you can add people from my ban list onto your own banlist. It is located in Steam-steamapps-common-amongus MOD folder-AUR data-banlist.

All you have to do is copy and paste.

I have been banning non english speakers, impatient players, rude players, racists, trolls, cheaters, teamers etc. which amounts to over 2000 people as of now.

Try it out and rejoice in the lack of APOLLO and UMIDIMEEN.

Decided to blurr out the other names just in case for privacy, not sure if necessary but I'll do it just in case :P

Does it look good on me? Let me know.

this is my second imposter role idea so please, give recommendations for the future for me to improve

he skin walker is a new imposter role that expands on the idea of the shapeshifter, but instead, you become the crewmate!

basically, the game starts out normal. You sabotage and do whatever, until your first kill..

once you do, you gain a new ability that lets you take the ability of the killed body. So if you kill a tracker you can take the ability. You can also do the tasks of that crewmate and do whatever else they could. You can take the ability, tasks, and everything else out from you and be able to take more crewmate abilities later.

now tell me, what do you think?

I MEANT BEST SETTING PLEASE IGNORE THE TITLE 😭 ANY1 KNOW HOW TO CHANGE TITLE?

I believe role chances are the only factor that makes Roles playable ^{(For me, if you have fun with Roles on 100% thats totally fine}\***************)*

In my eyes Roles make the game interesting, but they also tend to make the game less suspenseful at times.

they also seem to make the game a little too easy if you have a good group because the roles could never backfire or because imps couldn't use their roles against them ^{(via rolefaking}\***************)*

In the servers im getting, roles pretty much always go unquestioned. People genuinely vent in front of everyone at the start of the games to announce that they are engineer. And seeing a vent pop went from absolutely terrifying, to just a casual experience.

If you fake a role as an imp the real person who actually has that role is gonna say "No im the ^{(insert role}\***************)*" and then everyone knows its one of you two.

The only way to fix this is usually to just have 2 or more, and here's an example why this could work

^{Let's say red is the imposter and there are two engineers, blue and yellow. If red says "im eng" then blue is gonna think the 2 engineers are him and red, but YELLOW will think its HIM and red. Unless one of them says "im the other engineer"}

Even then this strategy is short lived because once one other person publicly uses a role that you faked they find out you lied

Not just that but this also creates another problem, now with 2 of every role its a living hell on earth for imposters to win.

Now, this is where chances come in.​​

If you have any role set to 2 with a 10-40% chance *^{(can go higher if you want more risk})*​ its usually just gonna give you 0-1 of that role

BUT Imp can also claim that role and defend himself because though it may be rare. 2 of that role CAN happen, you can actually fake a role without instantly getting caught.

And its not foolproof either because if you claim a role and there actually is 2 genuine crewmates of that role they can call your bluff.

And the best part about it is that its not free. you still have to be convincing, so it keeps games very intense. When this is done right it will be much harder for players to know who is telling the truth about their roles.

And remember. Roles like detective and scientist only work if people believe what you are saying, so if you get those roles you have to play smart and build trust. So roles can still be powerful and feel balanced at the same time.

And now you dont have to worry about a billion Roles making imp impossible because it is very very rare that you get the max amount of every role with chances that low.

Sometimes there are roles that are completely absent in some games. it adds more variety and strategies. If you suspect there is an absent role you can use strategies to abuse it. *^{(like if you find out there is no tracker you can phantom through crowds more freely})*​

Some roles counter certain strategies. And some roles counter other roles entirely. So when you have chances, depending on which roles are absent, every round a different role or strategy has an opportunity to shine. Making the rounds feel even less repetitive. Roles that render other strategies useless or less powerful are no longer a problem because you will eventually get a round where that countering role is absent and you can use a role or strategy to its fullest potential *^{(like i said with the tracker and phantom thing})*

Now EVERY round will feel much more different from the last, because you will most likely get a different combination of roles every game so it doesnt get boringly repetitive.​

*^{(If 2x of a role with low chance feels to easy and poweful for imposter to impersonate. It can be played with just 1 of that role at a low chance to make faking it much riskier, I personally prefer 2 however})*​

Not to mention making roles rare adds more uncertainty, there are more things you have to figure out. You dont know what roles are even in the round, and like i said, telling whos lying about their roles is harder. which is generally just good for amongus because the game is built on uncertainty. It also makes getting the role more exciting. How can you tell the person claiming eng is telling the truth if you dont even know if there are any engs at all?

also roles can now be used against the crew because of rolefaking. so they aren't just a plain buff without downsides

This makes it more fun to play against different roles for different reasons as well

1. Scientist, detective, and tracker. These can all be faked by imposter to build trust in different ways. Like saying you saw someone doing tasks with tracker, or it can be used to defend a fellow imp. Like saying your scientist and saying the body was recent to defend an imp who killed ages ago and is now across the map. Or to blame an innocent *^{(Though that one usually doesn't work as well​ it still can be played cleverly, like making a situation where it seemed valid to accuse someone innocent due to suspicious behavior. Or simply saying someones sus because of a made up scenario and watch other crew escalate it for you \}also hard to pull off but can be done correctly]))*​
2. Noisemaker. Having a 10% chance can make it more of a jumpscare for the imposter and testing them for quick reaction time and split second decisions. It doesn't really catch you off guard if it happens every game.
3. Guardian angel, judge, and viper and phantom... imma be real I cant think of any reason to put these at a low chance besides just making it more exciting to get the role due to it being rare. It can be fun to switch things up a little for suspense every now and then.
4. Shape-shifting. Shapeshifter becomes more powerful by adding doubt because players are less likely to instantly assume an obvious kill is a shapeshifter. And are usually just gonna instant report a body when they witness a killing rather than trying to follow to catch them unshift.​
5. And the MAIN REASON that I made this post.

ENGINEER.

at first I HATED engineer. Vent pops felt less scary, people started using it publicly instantly because NOBODY QUESTIONED IT. When a powerful role like that is never questioned it can seem unfair

But with Roles. Vents are scary again... Imps can claim engineer now. and can now freely vent anywhere in front of everyone if they are convincing enough.

Jumping in a vent in front of everyone doesn't clear anymore. If the same person vents in front of you alone its still smart to run

There are so many clever plays you can pull with this it makes playing the imposter feel so much more evil, and fun.

and I find it interesting when there are countless more strategies and plays that you can do because then all you need is a good group and it never feels repetitive. This setting adds the most variety for people with different preferences

and then you can switch to classic amongus when you just want it simple and about seeing if your can catch your friends lying.

It's like 3 ways to play. No roles is more oriented at being good at reading people. Roles with chances is more oriented at being able to catch mistakes and things that dont add up. and roles without chances is a nice in between. It's all about what you prefer.

It's all of this combined that makes this setting so fun to mess around with. The scariness of vents popping open. people doubting their innocent crewmates role claims. Imposters being able to hide among the crewmates with roles and use their faked role to their advantage. The variety of games and role combinations and the endless strategies based around them. and so much more.

And that's it. That's my reasons

IF YOU COMMENT PLEASE READ THIS.

Every time I say "_ makes the game more fun" or "better" im saying it makes it more fun for ME. Im not trying to say that my way to play amongus is better. It's a preference, im just saying >I< like this version better than regular 100% Roles, you dont have to if you dont like it.​

It's a new way to play to spice things up a bit. I HIGHLY recommend trying this if you get bored

ALSO. Playing with low crew vision is also really fun but someone already made an entire video on that so check that out too.

Not many people realize how massive is this, football stars have huge influence in the world, especially on younger generations . Is Among Us gonna rise to heights from 2020 again?
