Rework most maps or design maps going forward as though vaulting does not exist. If the only way to get on to a platform or surface is using the vaulting mechanic then it slows gameplay fluidity and increases one sided and low effort interactions. I think vaulting should be seen more as another option than a requirement.

Why is the 80 player "experiment" still running after a whole year? 30 tick simply can't support this kind of combat, a player can do everything right and still fail because the server can't keep up which is confusing as hell for new players generally feels awful, let alone the packet loss issues 30 tick exacerbates. The 80 player servers are also an optical nightmare for the game, despite Mordhau having superb netcode these servers are giving people the impression the whole game is a clunky mess with poor netcode because they get matchmade onto these servers. Most players are very casual and use matchmaking, they don't probably don't even realise the difference between 48 and 80, just that some severs are good and most of the servers they play are bad, because the nature of high playercount means the 80 player servers suck up the playerbase and leave the 48 player servers with lower playercounts than they otherwise should have, diminishing the quality of matches across the entire game.

You know what would be great? Different teams other than just red and blue fighting each other, like why cant there be purple vs green or yellow vs brown or maybe even black vs white? Maybe even mox match the teams so a random color is fighting a random color. Seeing red vs blue always fight eachother in every game kinda gets stale

Would it be possible to set a "special attack" for some weapons? I personally think you should be able to plant your halberd or Spear into the ground to brace against calvary. Maybe have the ability to use the Mordhau Grip fighting style on other swords like the Messer and greatsword.

I personally think all weapons should be able to be thrown again back to my "special attack" idea. Hell maybe just make it so holding R will throw the weapon. Perhaps all weapons with the exceptions of Zweihander, Polehammer, Spear etc. Basically all but the absolute largest weapons.

What about a true overhead strike? You lift your weapon directly over your head and slam it down. Could be balanced due to low Accel and drag ability for turn manipulation. Could do higher damage in exchange for a high stamina cost, no ability to combo, and if missed leads to a slightly longer parry cooldown.

Perhaps make the battlefield more brutal. What if they added onto the gore system. More gib options, maybe disembowelment?

Open for a discussion

If anyone wants to start a discussion im more than welcome.

Maybe a stupid idea and I'd love for people to tell me why if it is, but I'd love it if 80 player servers were removed and instead there was some bot padding to make the fights feel bigger with fewer players.

Well I’m glad you’re back and full of energy, I always look forward to these posts every week! Awesome stuff gentlemen, can’t wait to see the new changes and fixes and all the new cosmetics! I always ask and I figured you can’t really answer specifically, but are you hoping to have this drop this summer or in Q3?

Any plans for horse caparison customization in the future? It wouldn’t be much of roleplaying to have a teutonic knight loadout, for exemple, on top of a horse with a blue and white/red and black caparison. In fact, a system of horse customization would not only fit the upcoming Eastern Invasion update, it would be an overhaul amazing addition to the game.

The delay to activate parry should be reduced. Parrying stupidly fast accels are already hard enough to do, you cant rely on the grunt the person makes as the audio reaction time to do that is literally faster than what the human is capable of reacting to, and you cant block before hand as they can easily feint it. When you put on top of that a delay until the parry begins, it just worsens this. It makes no sense why its there. If somebody reacts at the last second, why should his parry be ignored? Accels by far are the most annoying thing to counter, but this can be fixed with reducing the delay when parrying.

This whole game is set around precise timings, super fast accels, super slow drags, to add a delayed time until your parry is finalized just makes it basically impossible to react to an accel thrown out of nowhere, and it is what makes feinting more powerful than it should be. When you on top of that add ping people have, certain accels are downright impossible to block with the parry delay.

So I was playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance and I was thinking that Mordhau combat system would make that game perfect. What I am trying to say is that you made this amazing combat system and if it would be possible to somehow export it to other games. Just imagine an RPG or MMORPG with Mordhau's combat. If this combat system lives and dies only inside Mordhau it would be an absolute waste

Please consider changing the character behaviour when falling over from height so instead of ragdolling you fall over and stand up with a custom animation and do the same for when you fall of the horse and maybe some other things. I think the game would benefit from the visual realism if you added animations instead of using ragdolls for everything. Also make so that bots that climb ladders near you dont ragdoll you but stun you or something. Btw I don't see anything wrong with the new flourish animation. The old one was awful

This week I will limit myself to just one simple question:

When will I and my fellow countrymen be able to incarnate in these warriors (especially those circled in blue)?

Of course, I tried to implement this image, but this is still not what we need. Thank you!

• A bug relating to fleshwound (right arm being severed causing the player to not be able to do anything) has been identified and fixed internally.

I'm curious why this was a problem? It seems fitting to the perk that you risk getting your arm chopped off and not be able to use it. Or do you actually mean not able to do anything at all?

Can there be an option where we can have mid swing left and mid swing right on different keys while lower and upper strike left-right directions are still by looking?

Originally posted by Puilus

The chat is frequently really, really toxic and racist which I think drives many people away from the game, especially new players. I know the option is there to mute people, but I don't think many people know how to do that. Maybe a ban on certain keywords in order to prevent it. People love to rant about religion and politics which I think does the game bad.

There is one point that, as it seems to me, is worth correcting.

We have the flesh wound perk in the game, which works like this - if you received a fatal blow (not on the head), then you can run around for a few seconds with the ability to kill someone.

If you do not have this perk, then a fatal blow to any part of the body will kill you. It doesn't matter if the last blow was struck in the arm or in the leg - you die.

What I suggest is that the flesh wound perk should be default. That is, if you receive a fatal blow to the head or body, you die, but if this damage is received by an arm or leg, you run / crawl and scream for a few seconds. And yes, you can have time to kill someone.The non-default perk should increase your life time after a fatal blow by 5 seconds, as well as you do not die when receiving a fatal blow, not only on the legs and arms, but also on the body.Let's summarize what we get:

1. Default perk Flesh Wound (should be built-in mechanics), which triggers when you take a fatal blow to your legs or arms. You are able to act for another 5 seconds after "death".
2. Not the default perk Flesh Wound - if you have it, then when you receive a fatal blow to the legs and arms, you are able to act for another 10 seconds after "death". If you receive a fatal blow to the body, then you are able to act 5 seconds after "death".

And I would still like to insist on the introduction of a mechanic similar to the mechanics of PUBG and Chivalry at death. I already wrote about it in this post:https://www.reddit.com/r/Mordhau/comments/mzswdz/weekly_feedbackdiscussion_427_53/gwm05hf?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Perhaps, if you selected the Wlesh Wound and Desire to Live perk at the same time, then you can be revived even if you received a fatal blow to the head (but did not lose it). In addition, when you receive a fatal blow to the body, head, arm or leg (if you have not lost the last three parts), then the Flesh Wound perk is triggered first, and after 5/10 seconds, the Desire to Live perk is triggered.

Need more weave effects from selected perks!

If you only have Desire to Live and the default Flesh Wound, then when you receive a fatal blow to an arm or leg (without losing them), you are able to act for 5 seconds, after which the Desire to Live perk is triggered. Taking a fatal blow to the body immediately triggers the Desire to Live perk. When you receive a fatal blow to the head (even if you haven't lost it), you die immediately.

We need a living battlefield, with warriors moaning / crawling / lying but alive, waiting for help, not just living and dead! I hope this topic will be of interest to the community.

P.S. Since this is the end of the week, I will have to duplicate this proposal next week.
