Hi Jax. I know it’s been discussed before, but I still think that the merge of Invasion and Frontline game modes needs to be reconsidered. We’ve had the option to choose between these two game modes for three years now, and many people have become very accustomed to one or the other.

I understand that the idea behind this change was to reduce segmenting the player-base any further after the introduction of novice servers, but please, just look at the average player numbers. I don’t think it’s working. We’ve actually lost about a quarter of the usual average player count; numbers that have held steady since mid-2021. In other words we’ve lost long-term, veteran players. As a long-term player myself, I’m pretty much convinced that this is a result of these players not being able to play the game in the way they’ve become accustomed to over the last three years.

I know you said that the rationale behind these changes wa...

We would love to see some snippets of the female models as soon as possible.

I'm sure it's been suggested many times before, but is it possible to reuse assets from all the other maps to cut down on development time of new maps? There's so much there, it would be a shame to not use it. Textures, models, surely some of it can be repurposed, but each new cycle seems to have entirely new assets, which no doubt increases the amount of time spent on the maps.

I've gotten used to the FL/INV merge, but what I haven't gotten used to is the armory rework. I used to spend about 1/4 of my playtime in the armory making builds, and now I don't use it at all. Does the team have a plan of action to make it more user friendly? If you ignore me I'll keep making memes complaining about it :-)

First thing that came to my mind, was how underwhelming some of the objectives are. Im thinking about Arid here, where you carry explosive barrels to the stone structures, and they explode. Thing is, the explosions dont do anything to the structures, and they look pretty cheap as well.

What I dont get is, on Camp, if the wooden towers explode it makes a cool explosion sound, and the towers actually fall, with animations an stuff. On Arid its more like a quick fart, that doesnt do anything to the surroundings...

It would be nice if the stone structures actually broke, and if the explosions looked more epic. For example when the gate explodes, that explosion could be used for the explosive barrels/structure explosions. Then maybe make the gate one more bigger or something, so it looks more epic :D

Is there any plan to change the armoury rework ? It's a pain to make any merc now with how many time you have to click on menus to get to what you want.

Also, I like frontline as a concept, it can be fun pushing the objectives but being able to lose them but, like many other person, very rarely play it because of it's VERY long respawn time. Is there plans to have it be lowered or be the same as in INV ?

Hey Jax you finally posted!

A few points:

Can you update the brigandine legs to have colorable leather and fix the shoe clipping/missing space problems it has?

Also we could use a flattish forest map similar to Iron Company's camp on Grad. Very easy fun idea.

Another idea I have on the weapon side of things, the game is lacking in cheap two handers. Something like a spiked club with a throwable function would work wonders at the 12-14 point range, being something like a light evening star. I think the peasant club is very fun, and this could work similarly. This could be the longsword to the Evening Star's greatsword.

I'd like some footman and lower class skins added for weapons in general. There seems to be a large trend in the newer items of making everything engraved and ornate, and the most prestigious looking item of its historical period. We are in grave need of some new multi part customizable sets for things like the halberd, spea...

Hey Jax!

It's nice to hear that you guys are making some progress on the women models, and consider some suggestions from the past Feedback threads.

Are you also considering some changes to the whole FL/INV merge, or is the merge meant so stay as it is right now? I and many others just don't enjoy getting put into a FL match after queuing into an INV match, and vice versa. As you've probably heard by now, many INV players desperately hate the respawn timer in FL, so why not start there with lowering or entirely removing it.

Hi Jax, could you pass this comment to Grator please? It's mostly skins & gear request thx.

- Rodela shield
Info about this shield It's in spanish but the auto-translate does the job!
In my sens, this shield could be a skin of the round shield we currently have. Right now, we only have a viking-style shield which is nice but doesn't fit well with later period weapons/builds. It was mainly used with a side-sword (which fall into the category of the rapier in-game). That said, it could also be a skin of the targe shield instead but the targe already has many skins compared to the round shield. Hell! you could have a skin for both as one Light Rodela & Heavy Rodela! It could also be a buckler skin but I think it is too small compared to the majority of the Rodela that I could find online.

I'd like to just use this as my feedback, it's honestly the only thing I think mordhau is lacking to be a complete experience. After this it's really just more maps and lore building for me, and provide players the medieval experience they fantasise about.

Also, some invasion maps could make better use of the space, perhaps some RNG on which direction main spawns are each round just to change up how the map is played and which routes become more preferable and strategic.

The last thing I'd like to see is some mechanics that help friends stay together better in invasion, since invasion is quite murderous, and it can be hard to stay relevant with your friends when we're always dying one by one and impatiently charging off from spawn one by one just t...

Hi Jax, appreciate the extra detail in this one!

I've been having a think about ways to add a bit more playability to the game outside of new maps (which we know take a lot of time and effort on your side) and I think — based on the results of your recent poll — combat additions / gameplay additions is probably the way to go. I think maybe some new equipment, perks and new ways to interact within any map are probably the sweet spot between keeping/getting people interested, and developer time.

With that said, here's a few generic suggestions off the top of my head. A lot of these ideas would need proper planning and balance adjustment, I know, and I'm not attached to any idea in particular. I think others will probablly have better ideas, but just to get the ball rolling:

• MAP ADDITIONS

Unique Weapon Spawns

I love how there are certain weapons that you can only find by exploring the map and pick...

Kek a week ago or so I matched on ranked duels with a guy named „crush”. Just as I noticed it I got kicked from the server with a message that I was kicked. I mean - if you are a dev and want to play ranked good for you but why would you connect just to kick other players lol

But if a bootlicker aren’t we? Crush had access to some of the greatest players in the game who knew what needed to be changed and how to improve the game and he disregarded all of them. There was a dedicated separate balancing discord and I saw so many great ideas go through there and nothing was ever done with it.

He single handedly killed this game

There are a whole bunch of minor changes that affect how combat feels, but i'll just list some of the big ones. Shields had held block without the ridiculously long delay they currently have, you also had much faster movement speed while blocking, but axes caused 33% more stamina damage when blocked with a shield. Kicks used to do much more stamina damage, and would do double stamina damage to held block shields. Chambers used to cost 0 stamina, so you could chamber infinitely. Attacks didn't "lunge" as much as they do now, it made dodge a little OP, but also made combat feel a little more varied because weapon reach mattered a lot more. The walls engineers could build were actually tall enough to matter and couldn't be climbed over. You could equip 3 fire bombs on the same character and play the game as a fire mage.

if the new weapon is large stone im all for it. i just want to be able to spawn with it instead of having to walk half the map for 2 mins just to engage in combat.
