Mordhau Dev Tracker

This is pretty much it. That said we are aware of the current issues, and are looking into ways to improve them with e.g. a better voting screen that is weighted towards invasion.

Hey all!

As usual, we're interested in hearing your feedback - your questions, comments/concerns, suggestions and everything else help us steer the game in a better direction - we're happy to hear it! Like usual, please keep things civil down below. On a side note, I'd like to say thanks especially for doing that in the last post - we're aware the armory hasn't been well received, but not getting berated and just getting feedback on it is way more beneficial for all parties involved :D

A quick note about the armory in general:

Like I said above, we're aware that the Armory isn't exactly up-to-par in terms of usability. We've been monitoring feedback and will be looking to make improvements where possible in this regard.

Something I saw in last post's comments was a request for us to revert it or develop a different version of the armory; unfortunately, this isn't possible. A main reason for the armory redesign were to make the UI function pr...

like you said - since the servers have low pop, we merged game modes into the same servers

we are looking at making the vote screen have a certain % of each mode so you don't get all FL or all INV on a vote

just the *right* amount of stroke

hmm doesn't roll off the tongue that well, also it's "tri-tern-ion", not "tri-ter-ion"

Hey all!

Just a quick side-thing in addition to the usual feedback threads - we're looking to see where you'd like us to focus a bit more time on, development-wise. We'd like to make sure that we're on the right track and developing things that you all actually want to play! Feel free to also comment with any other suggestions or input, it'd be extremely useful for us. Thanks!

Bro c'mon you could have said sh*ternion get it together work on the insults some more use less dated memes you can do it

We plan to ship with one face and 4 voices

Just a bit of a reiteration there - we're not 100% confirmed on the palace getting expanded. We *think* it's a good idea, but it depends on a lot of things and we're still deciding what the best course of action would be.

I have no idea why I didn't think of this - I'll talk to our backend dude and see if it's possible.

The original comment about why we don't hotfix all the time got deleted, but I'll post my reply here. I'm not gonna let a wall of text go to waste.

I'm no expert, but here's my understanding:

We have a limited amount of time post-update where we haven't introduced the content for an upcoming update. So for example, right now we haven't added the first iteration of the next update's map into our development build to work on it. Since we haven't done that, our development build is pretty much the same content as the update that you guys downloaded. This means we can patch out issues etc. and mess around with the files.

In a month or whenever the bossman decides, we'll "lock in" this update and add the map files etc. to the dev build. This lets map maker A work on the buildings while level artist B makes textures for the walls or w/e, while objective guy C does objectives and programmer D does code stuff. Any changes we make are now shared acro...

We're looking to push the next update out in a shorter timeframe. Granted, that has been said before, but that's at least our goal. Luckily, we already have a map or two that have the potential to be completed without too much work, relatively speaking. For some context, those maps (we'll probably only focus on one) are much farther along than Arid was when we released the first part of Eastern Invasion.

Unfortunately we have to deal with far more infrastructure sabotage and DDOS than most games out there. Given how small the playerbase is, it's mindboggling.

We're working on it, but had some setbacks here unfortunately so I can't give any exact timelines until we know what's up

He do be big

Hey all,

We're back to the usual routine now, so normal feedback threads and such have resumed! As usual, we'd like to hear your feedback, especially now that the dust has settled a bit on things and everyone's gotten some more experience with the update. Like usual, please keep things civil and constructive - thanks - but aside from that, we'd love to hear any thoughts, questions, comments or suggestions. Thanks!

As for our meeting notes:

• We're looking to push a hotfix today or in the next few days. This hotfix will address multiple technical issues, such as inputs locking up on the menus, etc. This will also hopefully address an exploit we had yesterday that allowed unauthorized administrator permissions, resulting in unauthorized bans. In the meantime, we've had our moderators take precautions and we're unbanning accounts affected by this. If you believe you might have been banned yesterday from this issue, feel free to reach out and contact a moder...

The bug has been fixed in the last hotfix. If you mean not seeing the novice servers, that's probably because you perform too well to be allowed on them.

Server changes: we knew there would be complaints regarding this, but there was no real alternative option here. Consulting the community on this would've been futile, as the response would have been negative. Taking choice away is obviously not what people will respond well to. However, we have simply too much fragmentation, and it's unsustainable in the long-run with diminishing player numbers. It's not just two main modes, it's four - each has 2 size variants. Invasion was more popular, but Frontline was not too far behind. You also have to keep in mind that we added novice servers this patch, which further fragmented the whole thing into two again. Novice servers have been working out so far, so we're hoping this will be a worthwhile sacrifice, but only time will tell.

The voting screen probably doesn't help with this change, since it often provides samey maps for voting (especially alternative scenarios) so there is definitely room for improvement.

It's a bug, we'll be fixing it.
