Sorry to see you go, Jax. Thanks for everything you've done for the community, especially in tolerating us this long. I hope you're moving onto something better. Best of luck in whatever that is!
Thanks! I've always appreciated your passion for the game and the thought-out feedback you've given - it's been a great source of sanity at times haha. Keep being you.
We'll miss you Jax, thank you for your service. As the current rank 1 player (going by combined elo) I will be informally taking over your position
o7
carry the torch my friend
Even though you've had a ton of issues with the game, I appreciate the positive impact you've had in the community. Big strong #1 ranked melee man <3
Happy New Year!
As always, you know the drill - any feedback, comments, concerns, suggestions, constructive critique - pretty much anything is welcome and absolutely vital for continued support for the game. We'd love to hear your thoughts, and we'll do our best to shape direction on development to take this feedback into account. Like usual, please be civil to one another in the comments.
This week, the team is still mostly on holiday, so there won't be any updates in terms of development notes. Things have been progressing pretty well, all things considered, and work is still underway for new modes, maps, cosmetics and content. We'll be posting a new feedback thread next week.
A bit of related news - this month, I will be stepping down as community manager for Mordhau. It's been an absolutely wild ride, from pre-alpha (pre-Kickstarter "project slasher" days, even) and scouring the old forums, through the release period of the game, and all the way into 202...

Not yet, but we'll keep you in the loop!
Will Russian servers be returned to the game?
I think you've killed enough online, all the newbies are out of the game, as are the casuals who filled the frontline and invasion mode.
Now there are probably about 100-150 Russian players online instead of the previous 1000 players who played a couple of months ago.
Is it really so difficult for you to rent a server in Russia, as 2 big duel servers in Russia do? And the ping there is 40-60 and not 90-120 (I'm still lucky) as on your "Russian" servers.
Players began to change reviews of the game to negative, warning players that there was simply nowhere to play.
In short, you did a great job of belittling the Russian players.
I'm not sure, but this may have something to do with current events. I'll ask the team what's up.
Happy holidays!
Like always, we'd love to hear any thoughts you may have for the game - comments, critiques, suggestions and any other form of (constructive) feedback is welcome, and it's absolutely vital for development. Please be sure to be nice to each other down below, and please let us know what's on your mind - thanks!
Even with the holidays upon us, development has been relatively steady. Some changes incoming are:
What about having a 2H firewood axe for peasant perk?
This could definitely be cool, I'll bring up :)
The basic leather shoes added in the last patch should not use team colors. They look like smurf shoes as is
Noted, forwarding this to the team.
Please please PLEASE let the women models have hair with some of the helmets PLEASE
Yeah, it would definitely be nice to have some sort of hair instead of just malding :D
I'll bring it up to the team so they can consider it :)
Hey all,
Like always, we're eager to hear your feedback! Any comments, suggestions, *constructive* criticism, feedback, or just general comments are welcome. We rely on you all to help guide our development efforts; please keep things civil and on-topic, thanks!
Hey all!
Like always, this thread is here for any comments, suggestions, constructive critiques, or feedback of any other kind - and we definitely rely on it for improving the game and "steering the ship" in the right direction, so to speak. Of course, I won't forget the usual disclaimer: please keep things on topic and be civil to one another - insults or arguing doesn't help us improve the game. Thanks!
Anyways, dev notes from our meeting today! It was a bit of a short one, but there was some good stuff involved.
Hey all,
Like always, your feedback is worth its weight in gold! We'd love to hear any comments or ideas you have, whether that be constructive criticism, suggestions, general feedback, or anything else. Please remember to keep things civil, be nice to one another in the comments, and be constructive with any suggestions.
Also, for this post - if it's possible, we'd love to hear more general feedback or suggestions if you have it; while there are tons of objectively great ideas we get, a lot of them are very specific/niche requests that we just don't have the development bandwidth to focus on. Things affecting most players are things we're more likely to be able to take a look at.
As for development notes:
Hey - the team's off today, national holiday in Slovenia. We'll keep this thread up until next week. See you then, and feel free to keep commenting!
It's 100% intended. Been planned for months
it was made as a treat for the ultra-diehard players who are swimming and gold and need to flex :)
As someone who plays the occasional Horde mode, unless there are going to be more tweaks this update, I really think the maps need some difficulty marking to give some expectations for those who don't know that difficulty swings wildly from map to map. Maybe just a star rating next to the name. This isn't thoroughly researched, but something like this seems right to me.
✭✰✰✰ Camp Grad Mountain Peak Castello
✭✭✰✰ Noria Feitoria Taiga
✭✭✭✰ The Pit Arid
✭✭✭✭ Crossroads
EDIT: Hell, you guys have to have win/loss rates. Just apply those yourself.
Yeah, we could potentially look into that. Thanks for the feedback!
Can you guys bring back classic horde as an option? Maybe just a selection between defending the king and kingless mode? Keep the skill tree tho.
We won't be supporting old horde. Doing so would require us to ensure compatibility and continuing support for it. We'd rather use our limited development resources on new stuff - it's unfortunate, but we can't do everything.
Any info on a console release date?
Not yet, we're still testing it and getting things up and running. Once we know when we'll be releasing, we'll be sure to put out an announcement and probably a super dope trailer that we haven't been working on for the past few months ;)
Hey Jax! I just noticed that the tight hood is restricted away from peasants, but not the mail skullcap. The tight hood is like a cartoonish medieval peasant's most iconic headware and the mail skullcap is for warriors. Fix? :D
Hmm, we can look at this. Thanks for the heads-up!
Having a lot of packet loss issues atm, any word on whether there's gonna be a fix for that? I don't think it's from my end
Report the server if you see it happening to everyone. Our server guy looks at the server logs and figures out what the issue is, usually it just requires a restart. Can't do all too much else without a server lag report. :)
Read moreHi Jax, I know you guys at Triternion think I'm wrong about this but I'm just going to say it one more time... I think the merge of Invasion and Frontline is driving players away and should be reversed. It has fundamentally changed the way people can play the game, and not for the better.
Despite a free weekend, 50% off sale, and reaching a peak of 6900 players this month (highest peak since the last 50% off sale back in May 2021), the average player count for the last 30 days is still less than it was before the patch that merged these game modes.
You told us that the Chivalry 2 Steam release is the real culprit for that, but Chivalry 2 has been hemorrhaging players on Steam since it's release in June; going from almost 10k average players to 1537 in the last 30 days; even less than Mordhau. If Mordhau players left purely for Chivalry 2, why haven't they c...
I don't like it either. I'll bring it up again to the team.
