Usa east servers have been totally borked lately with high ping spikes and huge amounts of packet loss. It doesn't happen all the time but it's happening enough to be really frustrating.

I'm sure it's been mentioned a million times at this point but ballistas need some serious attention. They're either entirely useless for their team, only used against their own team, or in some cases they're practically invincible.

I just played a Mountain Peak level where red ballista went 41/0/0. They were able to shoot INTO BLUES STARTING SPAWN.

Nobody could touch them, because that area is inaccessible to blue. The only way to get close enough for a fire bomb is by running up a ramp, directly in the ballista's line of fire. Who thought that was a good idea??? There should not be a spot where someone can rack up dozens of kills uncontested without any danger of being attacked.

Also please fix horses, they can still stagger you out of your parry and immediately kill you. An experienced horse rider can use this to get free kills, even against someone who sees the attack coming.

have you all thought about having any extremely expensive items in-game for players who have held on to hundreds of thousands (or more) of coins?

I'm not one of these people, but I could imagine something like a true gold base armor tint, or some insane armor pieces being a cool implementation and a great 'endgame' reward for those who can save enough.

If teammates can no longer dismount other teammates from vehicles will engis be able to dismount players from the ballista they’ve built so they don’t get locked out while resupplying or tending to other structures?

adding to this, people getting kills from your ballista should get you assists. and if you're the owner of the ballista, only you can kick people away.

Any ideas on adding a "streamer mode" like many other games have. (Disabling nicknames, chat, pfps and other identifying info)?

This map that has been alluded to since October is still in early development? Do you guys spend 2 hours a week on map development? Map development doesn’t and shouldn’t be moving this slowly. Meanwhile, you waste an entire discord of zealous modders and map creators. Just let the community make the maps at this point and make competitions for the best maps like Chivalry did. Let us help the game not die

Other than that, great changes. The friendly perk change has been a no brainer since the games inception.

Last I talked to g3ach a while ago he said there were a couple of maps one of which was in it's final stages of development. I'm also confused by this. I assume there's no ETA for the next patch either.

The slow progress is hurting your game

Make armour tints more noticeable in-game and in menu (%90 are shades of grey and are next to indistinguishable) and maybe add a couple.

I hate to ask for more cosmetics that don't change the gameplay, but lamellar definitely needs revision. It looks more like leather than steel (particularly the shoulder slot). Please add some rigid lamellar armor.

What's up with the recent DDos? What have you learned from it and how will you try to prevent it.

Anyway you can let beards show up on the Burgonet no buffet? At the moment, it completely erases any facial hair and replaces it with a stubble while any medium armets cause a huge clipping issue with facial hair, beards just straight up going through the metal.

Very nice devlog. Does the armory rework mean the addition of loadout folders??

An idea by u/camo12ga : Open palm slaps as an unarmed alt mode.

as feedback, i believe that removing thousands of gold or crowns in some cases from tournament winners or even just regular players who kill a streamer on stream is hurting your playerbase more than that particular streamer getting pissed off about getting teamkilled, especially in the recent incident where someone was stripped of their crown and 500,000 gold just because they killed a streamer on stream. This is a terrible use of your time and resources and its really quite shameful on your end.

I understand that there's a lot more important things that need to get done before these things get brought to the table, but I'd figure I'd ask anyway.

Have you considered making scabbards/frogs or something to sheath weapons that you aren't using? Either they can be purchased with gold by themselves or there can be some fancier ones that come with skins for different weapons, like the Damascus Bastard Sword skin having its own unique scabbard, for example.

Also, I know its been a while and this one is way down on the list, but any update on female mercenaries? Are they still on the table?
