I really enjoy the new variety this update brings. Especially the size perks are a great addition for players to either goof around or express themselves. The Ranked servers feel great too, when they work however. The added cosmetics are also really welcome.
However, I have some gripes with the Dwarf perk. While yes, it may be a memeperk it still is severely underpowered. I personally would like to see either both, damage recieved and movement slow reduced somewhat, or one of the 2 completely gone.
As for some questions:
Do you guys plan to take the game now in a more goofy direction? Of course goofy being used in the best possible way here. I heard many times that Mordhau "lacks charakter" and have been praising Chivarly II´s playtests for it goofyness. Will we be getting some less serious content?
Also considering how scattered the time periods in Mordhau are, is there a chance to get some early firearms? Considering we got full Lands...

The dwarf perk isn't meant to be competitively viable/meta, so yes, it's meant to be a meme perk. It's similar to peasant, in the fact you're nerfing yourself for some laughs.
As for the tone of the game, we still aim to keep it relatively grounded. I like to say Mordhau is medieval fiction, not fantasy. Fiction would be like Albert Einstein being in a rock band, fantasy would be him riding a dragon. The former *technically* could happen, but it didn't - the latter isn't possible within the realms of reality. So with Mordhau, we aren't going to stray too far past fiction, so I don't think the tone will sh*t all that much.
The gun is just a meme (that's fantasy at that point, sure, but it's meant to not be an actual weapon) but I don't think we have plans for early firearms currently.
Thanks for the feedback though, and appreciate the kind words!
