Hi all.

Quick question for those of you who are informed on such matters.

We have seen this year's "old" Save Winterfest layout – the one that looks similar to last year's mission, moving left to right in a circle-ish path around the map.

We have also seen this year's "new" layout – the one where the presents spawn on the top wall of the room and you run in a zig-zag left-ish direction, taking the same path to go to and from the drop point.

My question is: What makes the difference in which layout you get?

Someone suggested to me that the layout of the level you get changes with time. Every few hours or day, the layout switches.
Does anyone have a more informed answer?

--

By the answer: what the answer is most likely not:
- It doesn't appear to be dependent on the number of players you have. I tested it with all four knights and got the "old" layout every time.
- It doesn't appear to be dependent on Tier. I tested with all number of knights on Tier 2 and 3 also, getting no conclusive results.

I noticed this too. Now that you mention it, time of day makes sense, like regular prestige missions.
I only had the new layout during the day and the old one late at night.

Difficulty level didn't make a difference either.

What second layout?

I'll be honest here, I've never seen the "new" layout. I might have to play a bit more to clarify its existence.

Seems like the levels change daily

Similar to the other prestige missions, it seems like the winterfest saving mission rotates. On day one we went to the level "Silent Emberlight", and on day two the mission had a different name (it escapes my mind). I can only assume that they change daily, and I hope there will be other layouts too!

Footage of second layout

There is footage of the second layout on the Arsenal Podcast's newest video, exactly right here.
In case you haven't seen it yet.
