Castleween Changes

What all did they change? It's shown up so infrequently for me the past 2 nights that I only got to play it once and I can't remember anything seeming different.

UnseenMind Oh nice! Definitely hadn't seen this yet. Looking forward to seeing it in action (hiding the player names is an interesting touch for sure).

I would certainly recommend not using a ghost skin, You stick out like a sore thumb

I've taken to using darker characters though and I have a blast!

xDoubleClutchx Even though it has the same standing out problem, the RGB Carrot is fun to use (makes me think of going to a rave or something, lol). Tried it once, definitely got targeted because everyone could see me, A++ would do again.

When were these changes made? I played castleween multiple times yesterday and it didn’t seem darker, it actually seemed lighter

fun

Igor it looks so cool

jej exit your game and update

Today midnight castle map some updates, played two or three games, talk about my experience:
Overall, I personally found it more interesting than before.
A new electric light, not a weapon, is a lighting prop, pick up or hold it will light for a period of time, light for a period of time will slowly extinguish.
It is continuous, and as soon as one disappears, one is created, and sometimes two.
You can carry it around the room, or you can drop it to illuminate a certain spot.
Proper use can help you see the enemy and other weapons, But you can also use it as a weapon, pick it up and throw it at someone and knock them out (I knocked several people out tonight).
Personal feeling, such a change, this map is more distinctive, no longer a simple chaos, and other maps are more distinguishable.
Moreover, this time to reduce the brightness, and hide the ID, is to encourage everyone to "in the dark", "hide and seek" feeling, of course, there must be more “old six” hiding, at this time you can use the lamp to let them show their true shape!
For me this kind of players do not want high intensity competition, feel very good, can hide for a while, play for a while, the feeling of guerrilla warfare, quite good.

The only thing that diminishes the experience is that the people who are eliminated can't see anything. If you can replace the off-field props with lights to help the players on the field find the hidden "old six", it is even better.

From Chinese players, with translator translation, if not smooth, please forgive me.

So I guess Xbox players won't see this update until Sunday or Monday then? Also, it makes sense to call it Midnight Castle so it won't feel explicitly tied to Halloween.

UnseenMind
The forums were full of deals and there was very little discussion of the game itself, so I came to the international forum to comment.

Not gonna lie, I had a bad impression reading the patch notes, but it's pretty ok in the game. As @SmartisanVae has summed up quite nicely.

Obviously, already meta:

• People pick dark skins so it's harder to see them. This is sort of a penalty for their teammate too, however. Same as bright skins are easy to see for team and your enemies both. I consider these fair tradeoffs.

• Left part of the castle, inner wall (I think the entire inner wall counts) - you can hang in there and there is no way spectators can see it (no camera angle for the inner wall) if you are using a dark skin. I consider these fun shenanigans to a degree + people eventually realize something is going on and try to adapt.

Now with these darkness/light additions, it becomes a pretty specific-thematic map. While I still like it, I probably wouldn't play it as often as its previous version.
