Any chance you could add a kill archer voice command? That's the thing I miss the most from chiv
Unfortunately a bit too late, as it's really hard to go back and contact some of the voice actors, and the lines would probably sound weird since the amount of time since they originally recorded them. Also, poor Barbarian doesn't even have that line, it was a voice pack.
There was a community survey a while back in November asking for recommendations on what the game's focus should be; what was the outcome of that survey? Is there anywhere to review the results? Is the addition of more emotes, and the future update to loadouts a result of that survey?
It was mostly seeing how to spend our dev time on content. Seeing if we should work on big maps, small maps, focus on Horde, Brawl, etc. We saw that the most demand is for FL/INV improvements, Horde was more in demand than we thought, and Brawl/smaller modes weren't as popular as we thought. As always, people want more cosmetics and weapons, which was expected. I'll see about publishing that survey as well. :)

Hello!
I see plenty of players have been asking for is loadout categories/folders to be added to the game. This would be a great and very helpful addition to the game, especially for those with a large amount of loadouts.
Being able to separate loadouts into categories based on things like gamemode (Ranked, Frontline, etc), the mod you're playing (the Star Wars mod for example, since it brings a whole new world of classes and teams and what not) would be great for keeping your loadout menu clean and organized.
Ideally players could create and name these folders themselves to best suit their purposes.
I'm not a UI designer and I don't have any skills or experience in the matter. I don't know how difficult such a system is to create and implement into the game, but me and many others would love to know.
A visual representation of this idea: ...
We know, they're planned.
What does the armory rework include?
Changing the way the UI works, and allowing us to do more things. Things like folders, way better organization, better display of stats, etc.
The issue is that some weapons will always be better than other weapons, which is why you see certain weapons a lot more than others. Remember when maul was the best and you would see 85% of the server running it.
If you nerf the current meta weapons other weapons will just take over and then we will complain about those weapons.
I’m not saying that accels in general don’t need looking at but I’m saying if you change the meta weapons everyone will just run something else, maybe exec sword or messer (which is perhaps just as strong as the 3 axes right now)
Well, the point of balance isn't to get rid of people using the most popular weapon(s), it's to increase the weapon/loadout diversity. There will always be a best weapon, but we want to make sure it's not overall the best in every way.
Please please PLEASE fix the B Axe, war axe, and one-handed axe. All of them are in general too fast their accels are disgusting, particularly the alt B Axe.
We can look into it :)
we know, we're working on it :)
Respectfully, im not sure Crush is a good dev to be giving the animations to. Crush has pretty much nothing but a bad reputation for his balance and animation work, is there anything being discussed to move him somewhere where his skills would be more useful?
I'd respectfully disagree - the reason the combat exists is mostly due to Crush. Going back to the alpha the game was absolutely terrible, and it's progressed massively since then because of the tweaks Crushed has done. Animations have also improved, and we've brought a new animator on board to help as well.
Dividing prizes will be tedious and time-consuming, so aim to make a film on your own as you won't be able to split the prize with anyone.
So how good can the films really be without any actors?
So, Obliviousness and I talked about it. We'll give out some gold to actors, probably in the 10-25k range. This comment is addressed more at having multiple editors/etc. which would get weird, since we don't allow transfer of rewards, and we're only giving out 1 emblem/cosmetic per winner. Can't cut a crown in half :D
EDIT: We're still deciding on this, and we'll probably finalize the actor stuff post-competition. The thing is, unlike a tournament we don't really know how many actors there will be in a given video. If there's some wild cinematic with 100 actors, it's unlikely we'd just give out 25k to everybody - if there ends up being 3 videos like that, that is a LOT of id's to manually give rewards to, so we're kind of playing it by ear.
Any plans on more occasional increased gold and xp events?
It's something we're looking into. At the moment we have to change rewards by doing hotfixes, and we only have a limited window of time post-update that we can do hotfixes. After a certain point we start working on things for the next update, and that would require us to roll back to hotfix, and then re-add all the WIP changes - this would slow down development.
Because of that, we can only really time 2XP events around major updates or ones that are planned very far in advance.
Also, some other news:
Any new instruments in the works?
not at the moment - they would be fun additions, but at the moment we just have other priorities :(
Crush is working on some experimental changes, which he's calling "combat 2.0". A lot of these are centered around more ability to punish feints, which allows for other things (recovery windows) to be changed dramatically. This will allow a lot more freedom in how we can balance the combat, should shake up the core combat of the game. There should also be a riposte rework in the future as well.
If there's going to be a major combat rework it'd be cool if servers could enable a setting to still use the old combat system. Not sure how much work that'd be to set up for something people might not even want to use, though... But it'd at the very least be a cool little archive of what once was.
Doing that would fracture the player base. It's shouldn't be unrecognizable to the current combat system - still the same core ideas of timed parry, swing manipulation, feints etc. - the timing and pace will just be shifted to make thigs better :)
u/jaaxxxon you are now legally obligated to give us both the leaf crown
Shit i spelled it wrong u/Jaaxxxxon
typo, disqualified - sorry I don't make the rules, I just enforce 'em
Hello everyone, happy new year!
As always, we'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions, critiques and any thoughts you might have! Please make sure to keep things constructive, polite and be respectful to one another. We're back to normal, and we have a few good things we discussed today! Some of the things we talked about are:

External link →Will there ever be any nerfs to the Mini Ballista? there's no way to parry it, and it feels like a medieval artillery gun you can just set up in spawn and mow everyone down with zero repercussions.
I think we need to add more to the toolbox before we can look at nerfing the ballista. Right now it's one of the only actual fun things you can do with the toolbox.
Sure, barricades are very helpful but nobody gets excited to build walls in Mordhau :D
Have you considered night time maps? In Invasion, specifically. I've been asking people their thoughts on it in chat, and the response so far has been very positive. The most common suggestion I got was to make them dark, so you need to rely on torch light to fight.
super late response but we are planning on doing it at some point.
two points
I hope a part of the armory rework is showing hidden information only visible in patch notes like the heavy weight debuff and extended parry windows.
Right now the armory is super hard-coded, so we can't add anything like that. The new UI should give us the ability to do a lot more with it. :)
rip high levels who still suck/grinded on horde.
it's probably going to be based on a soft MMR, not level :)
