    In Release 61, the old scene Mysterious Swamp was reworked as a new scene named Fire Water Swamp:

    Fire Water Swamp (Mysterious Swamp Rework): For Release 61, one of our oldest maps, “Mysterious Swamp” has been reworked to be “Fire Water Swamp”. This scene is the new toughest scene in the game. While a small scene, it is densely populated with extremely challenging opponents. Also, while the swamp previously was constantly at war with itself, a new type of Kobold has built a stronghold here and unified many of the creatures of the swamp. Between the stronghold and the areas immediately around it, players will find more than enough high tier spawns to keep them constantly killing things with just a modest amount of movement through the scene. This should give those players who spend a lot of time in Upper Tears an alternative option where they can quickly reach attenuation and also gain significant loot with just a little movement and some significant additional risk.

    I'll assume this scene was supposed to be renamed to Fire Water Swamp, but is still currently named as Mysterious Swamp.

    Anpu needs a special title. “Eagle eye” or something like.

    Maybe somebody else remembers better, but I vaguely recall there was a reason why the name didn't change. I kinda even want to say it did actually change, but then was switched back. If my memory is (even a little) correct, it was probably covered in a live stream. At least, I couldn't find anything in the forums.

    Or, I'm entirely wrong. Mainly, I (very) dimly recall Chris explaining the name wasn't changing after all.

    it did change on qa and then not when it went to live, which does match the theory that someone changed their mind and backed it out. otherwise it would automatically have been in the live build.

    Could it have just been missed to be checked in to go to live?

    no, qa and live are automatically the same without manual intervention.

    That's some deep research!

    I don't recall any conversation specifics, but I do remember when the team decided to change our collective mind, to not rename that swamp and to keep the original name. (And it's current name will stay in place.)
