Developers of Midnight Ghost Hunt released a new patch just a week after its launch to early access. Patch 1 brings a major change to Quick Play and various adjustments.
Midnight Ghost Hunt is a thrilling hide-and-seek game where you play as part of the ghosts or the hunters. Hunters use various gadgets and weapons to find and capture the ghosts. On the other hand, ghosts can terrorize the hunters, and they become supercharged whenever the clock strikes 12 midnight.
In the latest update, games in Quick Play now end after two full matches, and then, everyone will be put back into the queue. This change was made to improve the matchmaking pool significantly. If you want to continue the same game, you and others can vote for a rematch.
For adjustments, XP and Shards are now rewarded as soon as the match is over, instead of waiting until after the MVP screen. This is to prevent the issue where the host can deny progress just by quitting the game abruptly.
Aside from that, the Harpoon Bazooka for hunters now has a reload and cooldown animation. This is to make it less spammable than before. The duration of the Harpoon attachment has been reduced as well.
