I'd love a toggle that allows you to hear your own character's low stamina heavy breathing for immersive purposes and to appreciate the voice acting

Hey, Jax. I hope everything is going well. I have several questions.

1. Will we get the new maps, Moors, and women in 2021?

2. Will there be a new male voice made with the Moors in mind?

3. How many female voices are planned? Do you have voice actresses picked out?

4. Will the new maps be more streamlined for frontline/Invasion? The old maps, while beautiful, felt like they were made with every game mode in mind, to their detriment

5. I assume the team has seen St0uty's recent comments/video on combo-after-miss. Are you having an internal discussion on this?

6. Can we see some snippets? I would especially like to see how the in game models for the Moors and women are coming along.

7. You've recently added some members to the dev team. Do you feel development is progressing faster now?

8. Sound cues for being approached from the sides or behind.. would this be louder footsteps, or some other audio cue?

I think an emote called "Pose" would be amazing, it'd make your character take on the armory selection screen pose appropriate for your currently equipped item
you could stand guard at a door if you had a speer, or stand all menacing loik with an executioner sword.

While were on the topic of the catapult, I don't like that idea, but if you guys do go ahead and go through with the idea, at least make the terrain on Camp and Feitoria more "catapult friendly". Currently, the catapult can get stuck on literally anything and just start glitching out because the terrain is awful.

Item suggestion: Peasant shields

I don’t know if pot lids existed in medieval times, but a pot lid shield (basically a buckler reskin) would be a great addition for Pan-Man and other peasants.

Exanima also featured an improvised barrel lid shield, which could function like a targe or round shield in Mordhau.

Small needed stuff:

• emote and voice wheel that does not change based on what you are carrying (just gray out the unavailable ones)

• change blue ballista on Feitoria. It's just dumb. It's literally a spawnkilling ballista with a convenient way of sneaking in without anyone noticing on two sides. Same with blue ballista on Grad, it's pointing right at the spawning area. Or red ballista in Mountain Peak.

• limit smoke bombs to 1 per loadout

Longer term:

• having a few random map variations for each map (e.g. having red camp on Grad starting in the woods or in the farms) would keep the game fresh

• more maps, obviously. It's the most urgent thing.

• running while raising shield and pressing F should do a shield bash, at the cost of a lot of stam

• we have smoke bombs, fire pots, and a good addition would be oil pot. Makes a surface shiny and slippery (ragdoll if you walk on it) for some time and is highly inflammable with a firepot. It's probably a dumb idea but it would be fun.

Idea: Different Generic voice lines dependent on your level. So the longer you play the game, the more veteran your voice lines become. New players have less intimidating voice lines.

Will the Eastern Invasion DLC be paid content?

I would have no problem with pumping out like 10 extra bucks to support you guys, but make sure to only include the cosmetic content in there and make the maps available to everyone. Splitting the playerbase in an already small populated game would suck.

Multiple feint spamming makes players look like they are holding their weapon mid wind-up before a sudden attack. This goes directly against the "fights that look like fights" idea of Mordhau. https://streamable.com/cl1laj I would suggest removing the option to feint again after a feint on the same side (left or right) regardless of whether its a stab, overhead, slash or underhand attack unless you wait for the animation to return to zero or change attack sides before the next feint. I know it's a stamina drain but it doesn't really change anything because in invasion stamina is meaningless and lots of people use the Fury perk anyways. It looks stupid, please consider changing it.

We're looking to tone down the catapult - at the moment it's a Mordhau drone strike - there's no risk in using it. What we're looking at doing is a reduction in range but an increase in movement speed, and also adding some restrictions on where you can use the catapult from. Having a catapult kill your entire team from inside a spawn protection zone isn't a good gameplay loop, and so that's what we're looking to fix.

This is more an issue with spawn protection zones on certain maps. The current implementation is pretty strange, how can you tell which open space in Camp is spawn protected and what is not? The only indication that you're in a spawn protected zone is a message on the screen. Where do you have to go to get out of it? No idea, just run until the message disappears within 5 seconds.

The current implementation is probably the easiest given the current maps and spawning in empty space. I'd like to see future maps where spawns are clearly defined, maybe they're inaccessible for the opposing team.
