Hey all,
We're back to the usual routine now, so normal feedback threads and such have resumed! As usual, we'd like to hear your feedback, especially now that the dust has settled a bit on things and everyone's gotten some more experience with the update. Like usual, please keep things civil and constructive - thanks - but aside from that, we'd love to hear any thoughts, questions, comments or suggestions. Thanks!
As for our meeting notes:
- We're looking to push a hotfix today or in the next few days. This hotfix will address multiple technical issues, such as inputs locking up on the menus, etc. This will also hopefully address an exploit we had yesterday that allowed unauthorized administrator permissions, resulting in unauthorized bans. In the meantime, we've had our moderators take precautions and we're unbanning accounts affected by this. If you believe you might have been banned yesterday from this issue, feel free to reach out and contact a moderator either here, or on our discord - discord.gg/mordhau .
- As for feedback, we talked about the big-picture stuff you've been telling us. A few things we're looking at are below - and if we are off the mark a bit, let us know!
- Arid is relatively balanced, but it could use a bit more... spice. We're considering opening up the interior of the palace or making the final win/loss condition more interactive, as opposed to defenders losing when the cart ticks over from 99% to 100% distance traveled. We're also looking at adding more interaction in general on the map, and seeing what's possible there.
- Speaking of interaction, we're looking at some areas of DM maps being closed off. As far as I'm aware, most of these are unintended. We're looking into these issues (and we want to return armory memes on Grad etc. ASAP!)
- As for the Armory, we're aware of some loss of functionality. There's definitely improved parts, but a few sections of it have been a little too oversimplified. We're keeping a close eye on your feedback to see what we can make better, so please keep that coming as well.
- For future plans, we've been talking about the female character models (which are now our one for the priorities for the update). For a little bit of context, prior to now female characters were not planned content for any of the last patches - so we weren't actively working on them full-steam. Now that they are part of a package deal with the next update, we're doing much more development. Grator has re-done the female face, as before it looked a little bit weird. He's now working on the aged variants for the slider, etc. Crush has also been tweaking the base proportions for the female character, which are a bit tricky. For a bit of context, the Mordhau guys use the default Unreal character model as a reference. This character model is also built like a sausage - the torso is pretty much just a cylinder. Due to this, we've had a few tweaks and workarounds for the male character, and making the armor fit properly on female characters without horrible stretching requires a lot of fine detail and tweaking to get human-looking results.
- We're also working on plans for upcoming map content. While we're not ready as of yet to share specifics on this, we do have plans for more maps in the works and we're excited to share more when the time is right.
- Grator is also working on setup for more cosmetics! Drip or drown 😎🌊
