Elysian Fields has undergone another major change.
The outer ring has been removed.
and
Damage Boost has been removed.
Elysian Fields now resembles an infinity loop within an infinity loop.
This is hopefully the final update to the map's structure.
Both sides are now symmetrical.
The outer ring having been removed has been replaced with a small plateau built for the new outro camera.
(intro camera is still just static near the tree. Dramatic, but serene.)
With the outer ring removed, Damage Boost also got taken out.
This will be a monitored change. If matches progress well without it (or a power-up in general), I will leave it out.
White Scar remains in the middle of the map, still only with the initial 5 shots.
I'm still receiving mixed feelings about it from testers.
I personally love the unique element this weapon brings to the map (it fits the theme well, too).
However, I will monitor how the map flows with this weapon now with the outer ring removed.
Terrain was also smoother out a bit in areas that were problematic.
Below are images of how the map has changed over each version.
