Like Bryan's doing with the Challenge System, I'd like to make a central thread for any and all questions regarding Hazard levels and the changes to existing levels.

Will the hazards also affect the enemy? Will they e.g. not be able to spot us from a distance on Firebase Dagger because of the sandstorm?

See above:

Does sandstorm visibility also affect enemies' shots?

No.

I saw a player today troll during the hack objective on reactor by sealing the vent doors.

This was a brilliant map decision.

The announcements warn you when it's about to start.  Just have to be aware and get out.  If too much is going on in the Reactor, yes you can miss the announcements, but that's life I guess, and why we have medi-gels.  At least the enemies will be dead/heavily damaged.

[Edit] And actually, with a little bit of planning, it's not such a bad idea.  Have one player get out of the Reactor, nuke it while the other players are keeping enemies busy, then that player runs back in & revives everyone.

 Benning's rain, Ontarom's sandstorm and Tuchanka's night all sound like they're going basically amount to the same thing - poor visibility, and nothing else. Can you confirm that? That's somewhat disappointing, if true.

Sniper Rifle Enhanced Scope doesn't seem to help you see better on Dagger through the sandstorm. Any plans to allow the enhanced scope to kick in for hazard map lighting conditions?

On a scale from 1 ("meh") to 5 ("omgroxxorz"), how awesome is it that we now get a rotating set of effectively new maps?

o love them the dagger fire base actually felt like i had to struggle to see the enemy {as my geth infilt }sniping with the javelin was actually alot more fun due i had to make sure i couldnt actually see them when they was to far out and fyi hunter mode doesn't show them till there like medium range with its scope yet i could see them but again only at medium and when it was night time and sandstorm it was really fun!!

it works just need to have the right sniper rifle as i said my javelin was only able to see them in scoped when they was just coming in to medium range

Finished a dagger hazard game. No extra credits. Sooo I assume it was just bonus xp? No real inentive for players who dont want to promote.

[Leronel]

These new maps hazards are nice, but I'd prefered brand new maps =)
With new Hazards.

What are the bonuses for playing hazard maps over normal ones?  I haven't been able to logon yet, so I can't check that stuff.

There should be a modifier to either experience or credits earned in the hazard levels, each depending on whether the hazard makes it more difficult or easier.

I see! So hazard reactor would give bonus experience, while hazard Dagger would give bonus credits, correct?

It depends entirely on whether the hazard makes it easier or more difficult. Either could be credits or experience.

Are you saying it's randomized?  Because from what I can tell, the hazard reactor would make it easier, and the sandstorm on Dagger would make it harder, but you are saying either one of those could be credits or experience, so doesn't that mean getting credits or experience is completely random and not based on difficulty?

The hazards are really fun, a new twist that reinvigorates the old maps. Is there anything we (as a community and individuals) can do to promote more maps to be turned into hazard maps? ( I know the original six are going to go through a rotation, but are you looking at how often these maps are being played to determine if it is viable for other maps?)

[Battlepope190]

Hopefully at some point some of the newer maps can get in on the hazard action!

[Aerialight]

Why doesn't the sandstorm affect enemies on dagger?

Cheapest hazard there is, I hope whiteout doesn't do the same thing
Oh and as a side note, I'd love it if all six hazards were always available. I really dig the sandstorm one regardless of how illogical it is, and I know I'll love ghost and giant, but for limited time is lame.

[BACON4BREAKFAST]

Make then all available! Giant at night would be the most bestestest.

I was really looking forward to this hazard system, but hearing it's a weekly rotation thingy just broke my heart.

Sight reducing hazards do not affect enemies, but others like Glacier's Seeker Swarm will. (even if they're Collectors I believe)

Can I get into a hazard map by choosing unknown? Or do I have to choose the specific map with the hazard?

The hazard levels should be part of the unknown selection, yes.

Can we report bugs here for Hazard maps?

Reactor's gates don't seem to stop enemies from passing through the first few seconds it closes.

No, I checked with our QA and they prefer not having separate bug things to track, but I have made note of the bug mentioned, thank you.

I can confirm that that is NOT the case. The sandstorm is pure visibility reduction, Tuchanka's night is not necessarily sight reducing but it's a different take on the level, and Benning's rain is most definitely not a visual/visibility hazard. You will see soon enough.

Currently no, but I'll poke our gameplay guys at work tomorrow and see what they think.

[J4mes]

Make all 6 hazards available after we have rotated through them once.

I personally think it's pretty cool, but I've seen very differing opinions on that today. We'll find out if we need to adjust.

Poor explanation on my part, apologies.
The modifier would add or subtract a bit based on difficulty. Reactor, as you mentioned, is likely a bit easier with the hazard than without, whereas Dagger is harder.
I'll need to do some checking at work tomorrow to give you a more conclusive answer on the experience/credits part of the question. Although I've been in discussions about the bonuses, final implementation of that stuff is out of my hands. I will check and check back in here though.

Good question. It's not very easy setting these hazard versions of levels up , but never say never. Play the hazard maps, see if you enjoy them. Let us know what you think! There are no guarantees either way that we would make more hazard versions of levels, but it's safe to say that demand informs supply.

There are some technical limitations for us in implementing that, sadly.
Noted on the all 6 hazard levels availability, it's an opinion many people have shared today.

It is worth sharing. Your expectations and wants are very relevant for us to see if we should change things.
