month or two ago you said something like "I'll make a big post bout current state of SDK", so?

We've sent the SDK to Epic, they're uploading it to the store and doing whatever else is needed (idk the technical details).

As for what's left on our end dev wise - to my knowledge, literally nothing; we're done developing it for this engine version - it's completely finished.

It's totally okay that you missed a meeting, but what's weird is that nobody filled you in on any bit of stuff aaaaand you can't speak about it.

I guess you could say this is an excuse, so if you want to disregard it, go ahead - I won't stop you.

A big thing is time zones. By the time I posted last night, it was 11pm PST, which equates to early morning for most of the developers who are over in Europe. We had meeting notes, but without context I can't just post things willy-nilly; there are a lot of things that are 'maybes' and without proper confirmation on what can be public knowledge, I don't want to guarantee something and it turn out to never happen.

This being said, I did make a mistake in saying "no notes, we'll do notes next week" - that was pretty dumb of me. I should have instead said "I'll update this post with info once I clear it with the team", so that's on me. Apologies for that, and I'll do better with the next ones.

Sorry folks for being late on the info, I'll do better going forwards ♥

Hey all, sorry for the late post!

As usual, we'd love to hear your thoughts on Mordhau - any comments, questions, feedback, constructive criticism, etc. are highly appreciated and very helpful for us to continue development.

As for progress notes, I wasn't able to make this meeting (other commitments today) so I can't speak as to what we've been up to. Expect things to be back to normal next week, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

EDIT:
Howdy - I got back to the 'office' and caught up; apologies for not getting this information out sooner.

  • This week's main news was including our private testers in our playtests of the next update, so we can deliver as polished an update as possible. Testing mainly consisted of further tests of our first Eastern Invasion map; Noria, as well as testing our newest Brawl map Cortile, which will be included in this update as well.
  • Additionally, we've been doing a once-over cosmetic addi...

  1. Thanks a lot

  2. You really get gold?? I got nothing yesterday when it happened. Thanks again

so for #2, you get gold if you leave a match halfway - I'm just not sure if you get gold if you're kicked from a match. The issue with the gold is that you just get 0 notification from the game that you actually made any gold, so most people think you have to complete a match to get rewards.

Let us peasants test the maps aswell

We're looking into a public test environment, but it's not something we can spin up for this update. Definitely something we'll be doing goring forwards though.

good stuff, Patchie ETA?

We can't really give ETA's, as we rarely know them ourselves until a week or two out from a release :(

Hope you guys can pull through before the game dies!!!!

Seriously all of us are sitting here on our asses waiting and waiting and waiting for even a single drop of some type of content. Hope it's not to late for the game to make a comeback. Months of feedback from you guys and it all but feels like empty words spurted out just to make the community have even a sliver of hope for what might end up being an empty promise

Unfortunately the engine update absolutely screwed our dev progress - we expected ~2-3 months, and it ended up being closer to an entire year. All the new people we brought onto the team have been speeding things up, we just had a massive roadblock in the way :(

Hey Jaaxx

  1. I did a LOT of ghost hits where i hit someone but the hit does not get registered. Could you please pass the info to the devs? I am Eu central zone

  2. I got kicked out of a match out of nowhere (not by a mod it was a pub) and i already was in a match since 20 min at least. When you get out you get NOTHING and this piss me off a lot because i had 4k points and a lot of kills

My suggestion is : in deep rock galactic if you disconnect OR get kicked you still get some stuff even if you are out..could you please make a sysyem like that for mordhau?

  1. I'll bring it up, we're still tracking down some issues with a desync bug,
  2. So if you leave a match you get gold (it's not very apparent though) but as for getting kicked, I'm not sure. I'll ask the team and see what's up.

oops, 11/30-12/6. you know what I meant

Hey all,

As usual, we'd love to hear your feedback - any comments, concerns, constructive criticism etc. are welcome. This information is absolutely useful for keeping us on track with developing the game, and we appreciate it greatly. As always, please be civil and constructive - thanks!

As for progress updates:

In regards to Eastern Invasion, we're pretty much in the testing phase; as of now, most development is now on smaller additions and tweaks. We've still got a handful of things, such as finalizing voices, music, lighting build, etc. but the bulk of the work is done on the map and most of the content. Our main priorities now are testing Noria and bug-squashing.

Speaking of Horde, it will be getting a major redesign that we'll touch on soon - and show off some content. These changes will hopefully add tons more depth and replayability to the mode.

Last but not least, we're in touch with Epic to begin the release process of the SDK. We...

Sad about SDK because at this point I honestly think it's, and I can't stress enough I don't mean this as an insult, pointless. It's so late in the games life, likely near the end. Any modders who would've made a difference are likely long gone. All these resources apparently being poured to it and it apparently undergoing testing a bunch of times or whatever else, just feels like a sad waste at this point because I honestly think the timeframe where it would matter is long gone.

I disagree, but either way it's better to release an SDK than throw our hands up and quit. That doesn't help anyone.

Hi Jaax, pasting my comment from another thread. Would love to hear your thoughts, and the community's. Since it's a lot, tho, I understand if you don't have the time. (Ignore the thing about the SDK, I'm sure you've heard it enough.)

The player base will never be back to massive levels, because the majority of those 2-3k players are melee gods who curbstomp noobs 24/7. It'd take a massive influx of new players, so vets became an oddity on the battlefield and not the rule.

That said, here are my suggestions. Most directed to noobs. Us vets only need more content:

- A robust, fun tutorial that explains accels, drags, flinching, initiative, etc.

- Multiple new maps, ofc. Especially maps that allowed to explore overlooked mechanics, like a flat map for horses (not crossroads, I mean spawning on a horse). Would also be fun to have a map with a range-focused phase.

- Stop balancing everything around 2h 3/3/3 gameplay. Held blo...

Thanks for the ideas - I'll forward these to the team :)

Hey all, sorry for the late post today!

As usual, we'd like to hear your feedback on the game - constructive criticism, feedback, questions or concerns are welcome. Please keep things on topic and respect one another, thanks! Even if people have issues with the game or development, we'd like to hear them; it absolutely helps us in improving MORDHAU.

As for the usual meeting notes, we're going to skip them this week; there's been some (valid) criticism that we mostly repeat things in these threads each week. It's true, but also the nature of development - things can take a while to get made, and a lot of the time progress is just more of the same stuff. This being said, we're looking to have some more transparency on development going forwards - you'll probably less random meeting notes, and instead we'll talk about relevant things more in-depth.

A few little notes, though, to keep y'all up-to-date on what we're doing:

  1. We're eyeing some potenti...

A little weird, but I can't see anything that stands out as undeniable evidence of cheating. I'll ask the mods for a second look, though. Please DM me on Discord as well so I can follow up with ya: jax#0553 (gotta be in the mord discord though to dm me)

Secondly, thanks for not posting info about the person - we don't mind if you guys are posting about cheaters (we're not trying to hide anything/suppress info on the sub) but we want to avoid posts that are showing specific people's identifying information, because it can lead to vigilantism/witch-hunting. Thanks for being cool about it :)

Lastly - if you report someone to our moderators and we don't find any evidence, the person isn't cheating, non-bannable offense or something, etc. we don't punish reporters. We'd rather people report stuff if they're feeling a little suspicious and it turn out to be nothing, as opposed to the opposite.

edit: added mention of op and extra info

We're aware of this, i've brought it up to the team

2 years and still stuck with 100 FOV I get you don’t want the fishbowl of chiv but at least give 120 so I can some stuff on my screen. The game is 10x more enjoyable with 120 fov and that’s why most eu players only play on despas server

Chivalry had horizontal FOV, we have vertical. Our 101° limit equals 130° FOV horizontally.

We can't really give timelines, sorry. If we could we would.
