Hey!
As always, we're eager to hear your thoughts on MORDHAU! Any suggestions, questions, comments/concerns, etc. are all welcome! We've addressed quite a few things you've brought to our attention, so keep it coming :)
As for development, we're mostly focused on the next update, which will be another tech-focused one, with the engine upgrade being a priority. Without jinxing it, the engine stuff is actually moving a bit faster than we've planned so we might be missing a little bit of content we figured we'd have time to work on! Moving forwards post-update, we'll be prioritizing more maps, gameplay/balance improvements and general content.
Our notes from this week:
How do you plan on handling the upcoming competition?
keep working hard and improving mordhau :)
Probably a good idea to add a feature to collapse the categories in cosmetic menus since there are so many items now. At least for helmets and body armor.
UI armory rework will hopefully resolve it 👍
Can I just say that Patch 21 is, with a significant margin, the best the combat has ever felt?
More sound improvements are in development.
I want the old Ballista and Arrow impact sounds back. Most importantly the Ballista, getting sniped with those things feels really weird now because the impact sound is less of a "SPLAT" and more of a "thhhwish" and I always have to look twice to see what killed me. Before the sound changes, that was rather obvious, and even felt better.
Another question: Can we potentially get a 48p version of FL_Castello (with some areas just locked off, to make the map smaller)? Even on full servers it often devolves into a walking simulator.
IMO spawn corrections are still needed, I believe we're working on it
nerf the messer overshoulder acceleration
make folders for loadouts
make a "random" option for loadouts, so you can play with a different character all the time
folders are planned, new animations are in progress. A random selection of YOUR loadouts could be possible, but not completely random loadouts, or you'd end up getting something like 303 + kite shield + crossbow or other stupid combos
hey Jax, quick cosmetic suggestion from me:
Could more gorget options be looked at for the future? the footsoldier's and regular gorget can't have their rivets or cloth recolored and the veteran's gorget doesn't fit very well with most chestpieces. it's a pretty minor thing but more neck options would be pretty nice to see
yeah, i like the idea :)
One thing I think would be cool, is that when you have a shield you use it for bashing instead of throwing out a kick. Adds nothing major, but it just kinda bugs me realism wise when you have a big ol shield and you’re still throwing your leg out there.
ideally, we'd like to add in bashes with a new mechanic that works across all weapon combos. not sure if/when we'd work on that, but that's the running idea :)
What do you think about nobles/ kings etc. not being able to be kicked? When I got to be the King on mountain peak for the first time I was kick voted after two minutes by some troll. I think I don't have to elaborate why this can be annoying. Thanks for the feedback. :)
I think we just need some major changes to the vote kicking stuff, but yeah it's something we can discuss :)
Repeating myself, because i think this is pretty important for smaller playerbases.
Can we have few full servers instead lots of half full servers. Example
Yeah, we can look into it. The thing is that we can't just pop servers on and off super quickly, so having extra empty ones is good to deal with peak hours and random spikes.
Is there work being done to make the ai more intelligent in combat or is it mainly the pathfinding that is being fixed? Noticed that they hang on some corners and can't free themselves.
a little bit of both, also we're looking to prevent the murder-conga-lines of bots walking in a line behind one another, and then the leader gets stuck causing a pileup
In the upcoming armory changes do you guys plan on making a feature to allow weapons to start in there alt mode by default? I only use the war hammer and other weapons in alt mode, it would be a really nice qol improvement to not have to hit r everytime I spawned.
I'll ask again, I think it would be a nice addition if we can squeeze it in. It's a minor inconvenience, but people tend to die and respawn a lot so it's a very common issue as well.
Read moreHello u/Jaaxxxxon, I have some questions and a thing to bring to your attention.
1)
some very early experimentation with team colors is underway.
What kind of experimentation? Can you tell us more, what are you experimenting?
2) What will updating UE4 (you mentioned updating from 4.20 to 4.25 iirc, didn't you?) concretely bring to the game? Will we, players, be able to notice any difference? (better physics, animations, lightning and so on)
3) I have a GTX 1070 and I have some troubles with cloth physics, which I know have been reported by other players as well. I have "cloth physics" set on "all" in the in game settings, if I check in the console I have p.clothphysics set to 1 and r.skeletalmeshlodbias is 0, every other setting is on ultra and the game runs smoothly at 60fps 1440p. The problem is that I see no cloth animation in game: all cloths, skirts, and especially tabards looks like ...
These weekly posts are literally always the exact same. Same info, same points haha
usually, we can't develop an entire feature in a week :)) haha
Will there ever be a way to scroll on the scoreboard via tab?
YEP
that is what the scoreboard improvements are - pressing your parry keybind (by default, should be able to be rebound) will let you scroll around and do super cool scoreboard things
What exactly
did you Devs shadowchanged in the last Update with the Voicelines?I play with Controller and many Actions had Voiceline-Macros, like running was battlecries - attacking - insults etc., now a lot of them doesnt work anymore, because the timing doesnt seem to work
the tool i use is not capable to add timewindows between button-presses, but voicelines-macros were still working before the update, now its broken..
what exactly was changed?
I'll be honest with you, I don't think we intentionally changed anything there - we don't do 'sneaky' patches, as being transparent usually gets us better feedback. We probably changed some sort of random backend code and it affected something else?
Ehh either way I'll be sure to bring this up to the dev team, there is a chance I missed something.
Can you guys fix the spawns for Brawl on regular maps?
You spawn waaay too far away from the action and spending half the game running isn't exactly fun.
Hey! Actually had one of our devs, Vins, reached out to me about this :)
He's already fixed spawn points on most brawl maps internally (not currently in the live build/ actual game, but the changes will be included with the next update) minus about one or two maps, which are being worked on. :))
Hello all, sorry for the late post!
As always, we'd love to hear your feedback. We've gathered a ton of useful data recently from you all (both here and on the discord) and we'd love to keep hearing what ideas you've got for the game! Any questions, comments, feedback, constructive criticisms, etc. are absolutely welcome! If you're unsure about something already being asked, you can always check back and see if it's been answered in the previous posts, but I don't mind repeating myself too much :D.
Anyways, meeting notes!
Thanks now I am going to pick low cruel voice and seek out low level default class team members for loadout points
seekin out getting clapped by the moderators too

Hey Jax, can you balance the poleaxe please? It’s really overpowered atm, as the animations are busted, and the hit manip is stupid. Thanks, every competitive player in existence.
(cries in paxe is my favorite weapon) okay, sure
