Mordhau Dev Tracker

The kick is still pretty effective - what do you mean by cooldown? Recovery?

As for accels, you kind of can't fix that without making half of the release do nothing - this is why we're working on new animations, so that way we can control where the weapon is when someone does gnarly camera movement.

We aren't really looking at doing an RGB slider, at the moment we're sticking to preset colors.

ahem constructive posts only please

ye, there are a few inconsistencies we're working on fixing in that regard :)

I'm reporting on what's going on in the team - I plan on a post about the SDK specifically soon. As for the other stuff, I'm also managing every inbox for the game, making sure everything's good with the moderators, dealing with a lot of stuff behind the scenes, and going to school full-time as well. I'll hop around in Discord sometime soon when I have the time.

Hey all!

As usual, we'd love to know what's on your mind - any feedback, constructive criticism, suggestions or questions are welcome! As always, please keep things constructive and civil, thanks!

As for meeting notes, they'll be a bit short this week. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make this one, so I'm going off of a few notes I've got from the team members. We'll be back to normal next week!

• We're investigating more server issues and instability (especially noted in EU servers, but not limited to there).
• We're looking into issues with toolbox placement and ranged weapons in spawn zones - unfortunately, there's still some abuse with our current restrictions.
• We're looking into some cool stuff for Halloween, aside from seasonal cosmetics ;)
• Some optimization work for Crossroads was finished - from my understanding, this was mainly a test of some new techniques, which we'll now be testing on Feitoria.
• Some mis...

Steam likes to get froggy on Tuesdays

It was approved, but we're updating things to work on the new engine version. Not sure if we'll need re-approval (don't think so, though).

Howdy 🤠

As always, we'd love to hear your feedback - it's been super helpful for us recently, as the update has needed a few hotfixes. Speaking of that, most of our week was spent doing some fixes and addressing community feedback! There are still some ongoing issues (a server tick rate bug that causes desync, etc.) that we're still trying to nail down, but we'd love to hear your thoughts on the game; any feedback, suggestions and critiques are welcome!

A few notes from our meeting:

• A little bit more work on the new instrument.
• We've been talking about new voices! No specifics yet, but we're looking into a bit of a 'pipeline' so we can add voices more regularly.
• More work continues on Noria and the Castello rework! With Castello, we've been simplifying more geometry and optimize a few textures. As for Noria, a bit of prop work and object placement!
• Some work for gamepad stuff - we've been looking into some issues, and also ...

We're working on it :)

We are working on overhauled combat animations for all weapons. We've done pretty much all we can hacking up the existing animations to fix things, so we're working on brand new ones with some lessons learned. Hopefully, they will be more visually readable and also way less janky looking, but still allow for swing manipulation.

Kicks are in a good spot, at least in my opinion. A general rule, if you see the enemy moving their weapon it might too late to land a kick. Try to aim for when a guy starts weirdly getting in your personal space but they haven't attacked or blocked.

We're doing an interim patch with the Castello rework, which we're intending to be a pretty small patch with a short dev cycle.

Also, we haven't shown everything off for Eastern Invasion - where would the fun be in that? ;)

We can look into these things. The issue (which yes, stouty pointed it out against crush) is that pre-patch you could oftentimes use ducks as a get-out-of-jail-free card; that's okay in some instances, but they're meant to be a bit more of a one-off strat that you might pull off once in a fight, not every time you miss a parry.

The arrow sounds are something we're aware of, and we'll be looking into it.

That doesn't solve the issue of people not moving the catapult and orbital striking the other team from inside their spawn zone. We did need to change it, and the catapult is still pretty good as long as you're supported by teammates being somewhat near you.

I do think there could be some more tweaking, but we wanted to prevent no-risk catapult gameplay, especially when it comes to them being used to kill VIP objectives. This has buffed nobles indirectly, but removing that can let us rebalance the nobles in other ways that are arguably more fun.

Bots aren't really a good solution, since they tax servers more than players - the server has to think for a bot, whereas players handle that themselves.

We've been tweaking the server browser to prioritize filling up servers, and that's something that we'll probably be fine-tuning going forward.

yeeees mpas are good

The plan is to add a prototype version of weather on Castille with the interim patch, and if it works nicely we'll be expanding it over to more maps in the future.

We can look into it. We do want to avoid settings bloat, as each option requires checkups per patch. With a few things it's not the end of the world, but when you're talking dozens of game settings it can add extra work sometimes.

It's not a bad idea, but it's just incredibly niche to have bandage feinting - and there should probably be a commitment/risk to bandaging.

As for the second thing, this may/may not be included with the armory update. That would be the time to do it, but it's also not a major priority (unfortunately).
