Can you guys fix the spawns for Brawl on regular maps?

You spawn waaay too far away from the action and spending half the game running isn't exactly fun.

What exactly did you Devs shadowchanged in the last Update with the Voicelines?

I play with Controller and many Actions had Voiceline-Macros, like running was battlecries - attacking - insults etc., now a lot of them doesnt work anymore, because the timing doesnt seem to work

the tool i use is not capable to add timewindows between button-presses, but voicelines-macros were still working before the update, now its broken..

what exactly was changed?

Hello u/Jaaxxxxon, I have some questions and a thing to bring to your attention.

1)

some very early experimentation with team colors is underway.

What kind of experimentation? Can you tell us more, what are you experimenting?

2) What will updating UE4 (you mentioned updating from 4.20 to 4.25 iirc, didn't you?) concretely bring to the game? Will we, players, be able to notice any difference? (better physics, animations, lightning and so on)

3) I have a GTX 1070 and I have some troubles with cloth physics, which I know have been reported by other players as well. I have "cloth physics" set on "all" in the in game settings, if I check in the console I have p.clothphysics set to 1 and r.skeletalmeshlodbias is 0, every other setting is on ultra and the game runs smoothly at 60fps 1440p. The problem is that I see no cloth animation in game: all cloths, skirts, and especially tabards looks like glued to the legs. This happens in all type of servers (from full servers with 80 peoples to empty servers with 15 players). The only time when other players' cloths are animated are when I am EXTREMELY close to them in distance, then SOMETIMES their cloths are animated. Not even always. Is this a bug or an intended feature for performance problems?

Here, this video explains the problem. I found it on the internet, it was recorded by a guy who noticed that the cloth physics only turn on when you get close and then look away, then when you back away the physics turn off again. If you look at the beginning, the skirt is glued to the legs. https://gfycat.com/oilyhardhamadryas
Can you tell me something about that? I love cloth physics, I think it adds a lot of realism and premium feel to the game. But the way it works now make it looks like a 2010 game, or like Skyrim

In the upcoming armory changes do you guys plan on making a feature to allow weapons to start in there alt mode by default? I only use the war hammer and other weapons in alt mode, it would be a really nice qol improvement to not have to hit r everytime I spawned.

Is there work being done to make the ai more intelligent in combat or is it mainly the pathfinding that is being fixed? Noticed that they hang on some corners and can't free themselves.

Repeating myself, because i think this is pretty important for smaller playerbases.

Can we have few full servers instead lots of half full servers. Example

What do you think about nobles/ kings etc. not being able to be kicked? When I got to be the King on mountain peak for the first time I was kick voted after two minutes by some troll. I think I don't have to elaborate why this can be annoying. Thanks for the feedback. :)

One thing I think would be cool, is that when you have a shield you use it for bashing instead of throwing out a kick. Adds nothing major, but it just kinda bugs me realism wise when you have a big ol shield and you’re still throwing your leg out there.

hey Jax, quick cosmetic suggestion from me:

Could more gorget options be looked at for the future? the footsoldier's and regular gorget can't have their rivets or cloth recolored and the veteran's gorget doesn't fit very well with most chestpieces. it's a pretty minor thing but more neck options would be pretty nice to see

nerf the messer overshoulder acceleration

make folders for loadouts

make a "random" option for loadouts, so you can play with a different character all the time

Can I just say that Patch 21 is, with a significant margin, the best the combat has ever felt?

More sound improvements are in development.

I want the old Ballista and Arrow impact sounds back. Most importantly the Ballista, getting sniped with those things feels really weird now because the impact sound is less of a "SPLAT" and more of a "thhhwish" and I always have to look twice to see what killed me. Before the sound changes, that was rather obvious, and even felt better.

Another question: Can we potentially get a 48p version of FL_Castello (with some areas just locked off, to make the map smaller)? Even on full servers it often devolves into a walking simulator.

Probably a good idea to add a feature to collapse the categories in cosmetic menus since there are so many items now. At least for helmets and body armor.

How do you plan on handling the upcoming competition?
