Mordhau Dev Tracker

As always, more information about what's going on would be appreciated. A simple couple of bullet points written out after the Tuesday meetings would go a really long way in setting the tone for communication and information from the Devs to the community. I'm not asking for a complete rundown of the meeting or set in stone ETAs, just some semi-formal information on a regular schedule:

Engineers can block off spawn on Mountain Peak Invasion(the objective where you free prisoners) I don’t know if it’s intended or not, but I’ve seen both teammates AND enemies drop smoke and block off our spawn, leaving us stuck in the tunnel to get out. Think it’d be a huge improvement to make that a no build zone so engineers weren’t only useful by trolling an entire team, and actually placed strategic buildings elsewhere

Please let me choose between the team colours so I can be solid blue/red without all the cloth options being striped.

Now that we have 80 players servers, it would be great to have a real siege map, with two siege towers, a battering ram, catapults on the grounds and ballistas on the walls. Something like an impressive, muddy, large scale war. Something where the attacking team will struggle to push for the objectives. A playable king and a few royal kings guardsmen. A hell lot of peasants to kill. A city to burn. Walls to destroy. All that stuff.

Seriously this game is so perfect already, all we need is a whole new set of maps right now.

I'll never forget when I logged into Steam to find I had a VAC ban from Mordhau.

I've never used cheats in any game and the fact I'd been wrongly punished for doing something I stand against frustrated me immensely. Despite arguing my innocence I was told that VAC bans are not reversible and everyone in the forums called me a liar and said that "all cheaters say they are innocent".

Days later my ban was gone and my account was clean. No explanation or apology.

How about a "Toggle Crouch" option, similar to the "Toggle Sprint" option that currently exists? My pinky would appreciate it :)

Hello again, this ideas been said before but its a good one. We need kill cams. A noob seeing how they died from the killer perspective could be a great learning tool. I think it would be especially effect because you could see what killed you through the first person animations, making the attacks easier to emulate.

Contraband is comically huge by medieval standards and ive wondered what it looked like before it was a ruin. Can I pretend Castello is the same place and shifting plate tectonics completely changed the landscape

I am in the US Navy, and in my free time I love to play this game, but when I go underway on deployments I'd love to be able to play the game. Since a few patches ago I have been unable to play offline. I am just wondering if it is just me, or if a former patch has made is so that I cannot play offline.

If I could play offline that'd be awesome, just LAN with my buddies underway would be great. We are in Hawaii and even though sometimes our connection is tough and just 10 ping can make the difference in duels, we 100% support the continuing production of this game and its patches. Also additional content for a fee, like map packs and skins, things of that sort would be preeeettyy legit.

Thanks.

I've seen more people playing spy builds recently. As in, exploiting the colored armor options to appear like they are on the opposing team. I'm sad that people are this way to try and get an unfair advantage. I would appreciate someone looking into a solution for this as it really can sour a game when you unsuccessfully try to votekick them.

Hello developers!

I got a new mechanic feed back:

It's about a new mechanic for The Catapult.

-In the Middle Ages, prisoners used to be catapulted as projectiles.They not only threw human beings, they also threw all kinds of objects, including horse droppings or other dead animals.

-My idea is, to be able to catapult players like projectiles. Something like in this image: https://prnt.sc/tiv8fk

For exmaple, one player drives the catapult and the other one is a "suicide" that is going to be the projectile. this "projectile" when collides with other enemy/player they both die.

This new mechanic will completely change the current catapult mechanic. since the current metal projectiles do not respawn in the catapult, but would have to be collected at other points on the map or manufactured (for this a blacksmith would be needed).

Another thing that occurs to me is that you could also do this ...

Shields need to be reworked(again). They provide immunity to drags so your only option is to feint or morph, both of which will generally be gambled by the cancerous 1h the shield guy uses. I have 3000 hours combined chiv/mord and it takes my undivided attention to kill a single semi-competent shield guy who can feint to parry. Cancer.

1h axes need to be seriously looked at, and almost definitely nerfed. I called it months ago that they were too strong. Now people are starting to catch on and use them and it’s just awful.

Axe was already strong when the game came out, people just didn’t know how to use it. Then the devs gave it a combo speed buff it didn’t need and now it’s the nightmare it is now. An extremely common try hard build I see is you take axe and bloodlust, and just go in spamming hyper armor ripostes and feint to parrying if needed. The combos and ripostes are so fast you’ll almost never get interrupted and you’ll usually get at least one bloodlust res...

I would like beartraps being more effective against cavalry than they are currently.

Too many times a person riding a horse with a spear or bardiche just camps the spawn (especially on crossroads) and are a pain to deal with. Some spawn locations put you almost directly in front of the charging horse which just adds to the frustration. It's a cheap and skillless mechanic.

If there's multiple enemy horse riders, by the time you dealt with a couple, they've already respawned and likely have a new horse as well.

Instead of dealing 30/35 vehicle damage, the beartrap should be able to topple/crash the horse forcing the rider to fight on foot instead.

Can we please mute or completely remove the red border warning on friendly hits for the Lord characters. Maybe even decrease screen shake.

Basically it's really hard to separate the noise when you have 5 team mates hitting you.. and when I end up with 2 trolls on me on my side just rapidly hitting me it's hugely debilitating.
