The Night of Mystery

Geheimnisnacht is the most ill-omened night of the year and with both Mannslieb and Morrslieb full in the sky only the strong and brave dare venture into the dark. During Geheimnisnacht it’s said that the veil between the living and the dead is thinner, and it’s the perfect time to visit the Gardens of Morr to pay homage to the ancestors.

Geheimnisnacht will be live for PC, Xbox One and PS4 between October 28th until November 5th.

Geheimnisnacht Event for PC

• Night Mode

  Once again during the seasonal event of Geheimnisnacht, all of the outdoor adventure levels will be bathed in darkness, with only the light cast by Mannslieb and Morrslieb to guide your steps. Players on both PC and Console will be able to experience the Geheimnisnacht night mode.

• Geheimnisnacht Keep Theme

  Lohner has once more been inspired by the Cult of Morr and decorated the entire keep with hundreds of candles. Or he has something untold with a ghost or two.

• A Fanged Infection

  Last year during Geheimnisnacht a mysterious Vampire portrait frame appeared and spread between the players. Rumors circling that the same infection lives up once more during Geheimnisnacht. Display your fangs proudly.

• Thematic Challenges

  Only those brave enough venture out into the night during Geheimnisnacht. If you are successful you will be rewarded accordingly with a new portrait frame and painting. During Geheimnisnacht you never know what is out to kill you.

• Wraith’s Revenge - Weekly Event

  A vengeful revenant stalks your party. Look straight at it to make it slow down. The catch? It’s invincible

Patch 2.0.14

• Fixed a game crash observed when oil barrel blows up in client players hands.
• Fixed a crash when using game-pad in the lobby browser.
• Slayer Leap - Leap will no longer be cancelled by taking damage.

Geheimnisnacht Event for Console

• Night Mode

  Once again during the seasonal event of Geheimnisnacht, all of the outdoor adventure levels will be bathed in darkness, with only the light cast by Mannslieb and Morrslieb to guide your steps. Players on both PC and Console will be able to experience the Geheimnisnacht night mode.

• Limited-time Event Quest

  In addition to Gehimnisnacht Night Mode, there will be a limited-time event quest, and you can earn a new portrait frame.

Currently, we are working hard with bringing Winds of Magic to console in December, and due to this, we decided to host a smaller event during Geheimnisnacht. Dedicating our resources towards Winds of Magic is a higher priority and we are grateful for your patience.

The previous one Adeon.

We’re looking in to this Toastklotzi. You said your friend has the frame, what’s his Gamertag, we’d like to check out what’s going on if possible.

Well, one positive thing. Noticing a improvement in performance with the last 2 patches. GPU doesn’t even break 50C anymore, around 65% usage in game.

@Fatshark_Hedge What are the chances of these maps sticking around?

I made a thread about this last year as well.

I really think it’s a waste locking these to 6 days a year. Can’t there be a vote option or a 50/50 chance of getting them. It’s nice to have a little variety.

I wouldn’t want them all the time. At first, it’s really neat to have the change and see this darkness. It can be enjoyable for a bit, but would easily become an issue.

A lot of time, I’m sure, was spent on lighting and color for the game so players see things really pop on our screen and can differentiate better the things on our screen(like their adjustments to Beastmen so we can tell them apart better). Or to really highlight various parts of the map and give a specific feel and tone as the characters play each map.

The darkness and fog causes everything to darken, muddling everything our eyes see. It also muddles all the hard work put into the original design. This in turn causes enemies to blend in more with the map and each other and makes it more challenging for player’s eyes to pick up on different things. The feel and tone of each map is diminished as everything just plays with the same look. The designs they chose to use begin to lose their effect or lose it completely. Existing fog is completely overshadowed by the event fog.

I don’t know if it’s because of the event (because I can’t toggle it on and off), but apparently the waterfall in Dark Omens took a day off:

I enjoy the event as an event and it should remain as such. I sure wouldn’t want it all the time but that’s only because of the reasons mentioned above.

@flisker @OrsonMaxwell

I understand that, but why make it so 50% of the time players deal with the worse lighting and worse gameplay experience? This sort of thing should be left to the modded realm.

Warhammer has brighter settings. I don’t get why people think everything in Warhammer has to be dark, dark, and darker.

They should make it all year as well as adding in other weather as well. Simple changes to the lightning that I watched them do on stream in less than a hour while showing off the map editing tools. Give us a morning sun map, night, rain and storms, foggy, etc.

Then for Halloween, they can do actual events, like the one with the wraith chasing you now. Maybe next year they could do a Jason themed one, with an immortal Chaos warrior in a hockey mask chasing you down. There’s ton’s of things they can do for events. For Christmas, give us presents, red weapons or cosmetics, etc. You can even have loot rats that look like Santa which drop a red or cosmetic for the whole party. I’m sitting here on like 2000 hours and don’t have all the hats. Something is really wrong with the distribution of loot.

There’s nothing wrong with unique events, but this is something 99% of the community who when asked, wanted. People want it. Give it to us.

Either way, I’m enjoying the event. Gonna be gone all weekend for work though, so I’ll miss most of it. At least I got to play them for 2 days.

This should be solved for you now
