Can we get any news on SDK?

If I'm not mistaken it was one of the Kickstarter goals that was met meanwhile more than 2 years later and still nothing. I was going through few of your last feedback posts and not a single mention about SDK, another user asking about it and no answer.

What is happening with SDK???

iirc SDK is a separate release , once it's greenlighted by Epic , it will be released separately without being tied to an actual game Patch

Suggestion: the amount of chipping on painted armor should be tied to the roughness slider.

The game is sorely lacking in some very iconic simplistic weapon designs such as a completely plain wooden shaft for many polearms, a flat bar crossguard for longsword, a very angular but small early medieval spear head (ala the default shortspear head), and nice plain looking war axe and one handed axe. I'd say these weapons and many others from launch should get new customizable piece-by-piece skin sets featuring some lower class utilitarian designs rather than the endless amount of $6000+ gold encrusted gargoyles on a stick skins

You can add cosmetics, without being tied to an update, as soon as you are ready. This would soften the expectations of the players, especially as I understand the update was postponed only because of the map and technical issues.

people will be disappointed when the patchie finally come after half a year (february doesnt count, that barely added anything) and we get like 4 or 5 new things, most of them variations of an armor skin we already have. Keep your expectations realistic, guys

I know this is easy for the consumer to say, but do you guys think it is acceptable for mordhau to not receive an update in a bit less 5 months? you guys have 20+ devs, like cmon aha. I know that you needed to squash bugs and upgrading the unreal engine is not easy by no means, but every update takes so damn long. The next one is likely to be 4-5 months and there will be other reasons why, I really think if the game got updated more it wouldn't be as dead as it is. You guys have one of the most passionate player base I have ever seen for a game, the declining player numbers are upsetting to see.

Please, don't remove flinch on kicks after end of wind-up. This will make facehugging with fast one-handers even stronger than it is now.

Nerf for chambering is also unnecessary, it is already difficult to use against competent opponent and doesn't even give much of advantage. Heck, if opponent defence isn't passed by first two chambers and then they continue to block rest of attacks, then you most likely just f**ked up your stamina game and will lose to person, who just blocks. This comes from a person, who chambers a lot.

Would you ever consider adding “noob friendly” servers? With a max lvl cap to let the new players get some experience without being stomped on.

Edit: q for dev, don’t rly care what all y’all gamers think

A few suggestions:

• Archer foot speed debuff when their bow is out and a few seconds after switching. The reason is to prevent archers from running away when someone closes in on them. Currently, archers are free to peck away at anyone and never have to be in any danger because they run behind team mates, rinse and repeat. You can go 40-5-20 doing this and anyone who's played against Lobster in NA east will tell you its annoying as sin. Shields only protect you so much and that doesn't address that the only counter play to this is to go archer yourself. Archery is not all that skillful so doing this peck and run away is stupid easy. I can get stupid high KD with it as well and I rarely play archer.
• Increase arrow damage to horses or let the butcher perk increase arrow damage to horses. Or lower horse health. The amount of work it takes to kill a horse is insane, combine that with the number of horses and horse respawn timer dealing with them makes me want to blow my brains out.
• A chat voteable team scramble. Out of everything the team stacking kills this game the most.

being able to build on moving carts (pavises and toolbox walls only) would be a cool way of countering ballistas kinda like a moving shield

I know very little about building maps, but will the SDK be fairly intuitive to use?

Personally I have two main problems

1) I find the more expensive perks are too demanding of points, taking away from the rest of the merc.

2) Often the weapons, perks, armour etc that I want to use doesn't add up to 48 perfectly, and I find myself just adding on a bandage, a shortsword or the supplied or mule perk even though I'll probably not use it and it doesn't fit the rest of the loadout.

I had an idea of instead using an incremental perk mechanic, at least for the more expensive ones where instead of spending 15 points on bloodlust to heal to full health when you get a kill, you could:

Spend 5 points to heal 33% of your health on a kill, or spend 10 points to heal 66% of your health on a kill.

More static perks like peasant, tank, dwarf etc could just remain a binary option

If this could also be applied to the cheaper perks then I think it would help solve the second issue, of leftover points by massively increasing the number of options for what to use those last 1,2 or 3 points on a merc. You could have 1 point leftover and decide to put it into fury and get a bonus 25 stamina on kill.

I'd agree with you entirely if we talked about a flail with a short handle, and a longer chain. But a hussite flail would mostly consist of a long shaft, and the chain was super short. The head wouldn't have too much freedom to move around with a tiny chain, and combined with a long shaft, it wouldn't be that hard to tell how far away the weapon is from hitting you.

You are indies! You are giving to much details to the players! They are ungrateful rats who can't appreciate what you do! Why explaining dev circumstances or approaches etc.? come one, guys, stop licking the asses of all those little rats who never even payed the full price for your product! I am an indie dev myself and I realized one thing in the industry: DON'T GIVE DETAILS!!!! WORK HARD, PUBLISH and that's it! To much details and commitment and they tear you apart! Also, turn off the stupid unnecessary chat window which almost destroyed the game. Those rats have discord anyway. Shall they meet in their private own primitve circles. If they want to f**k up something, they can do it in there with their stupid friends. The funny voice choices are enough and one of the big USP that makes the game, except from your excellent technical game play!

STOP LICKING COMMUNITIES ASS!!!

To all the wise guys under 30! I would take from everyone of you kids the PC away and send you with an empty water bottle to the worst part in india or somewhere else, where you learn to appreciate life and the hard work of other people, at least! Those who have no empathy, should reconsider doing something before it is too late.

"We ran into a few issues with some map geometry which have been fixed,
but this requires us to rebuild the HLOD (hierarchical level of detail)
for a map."

To be fair, if it's the upcoming map Castello, we all might laugh at your face due to the fact it's meant to be just yet another simple little "Arena" style map.
