Edit: Why did they remove “morph matching”? Did it make chambers too easy?

Was just insanely easy and made morphs really underwhelming; it was balanced back in pre-alpha when the chamber window was roughly half of what it is now in duration, but we made chambers cost stamina (used to be free) and made them easier. This made the combat much better but morph matching just ruined morphs.

We're looking at the evidence and a game ban, among other things, isn't off the table.

I'm curious if the same consideration was shown to everybody who cheated. Were they given the option to tell you how they cheated, where they got it from etc in order to avoid a ban or is this just special treatment because Rick has played with Crush and the other devs for years?

You've sold a million copies, you're on your way to being a reputable game dev studio, don't f**k it up by letting personal relationships stop you from being unbiased and fair.

Well with this, it's a very subtle exploit he's doing, which can be really hard to detect, if not done in an obvious manner people could have been doing this for a while without getting caught. We wanted to see exactly how he did the cheat and since then we have been investigating the issue to see how widespread it is etc - this is different than some person loading up an obvious script which we can easily detect and ban.

That being said we're looking at the situation, a game ban isn't off the table, among other punishments that may be in our power to do.

" Since he has contacted us with exactly how to do the cheat we won't be game banning afaik " omg wtf is this retarded communication... you sold >1 millions copies, it's time to stop acting like amateurs. we all know that rick is friend with some of the devs and that's the only reason why he is not game banned. It's stupid as f**k to not game ban him, for your image. "comp ban" means nothing. no, all tournaments are not run through this unofficial discord, anyone can organize a tournament, invite all comp players including rick, and you could do nothing about it. at the end of the day, you actually took 0 decision concerning a now well known cheater, and you're stupid enough to claim it in your post. edit : when is marox coming back from his yacht party to teach everyone how to act in an actual video game company ?

If anything he masy get a harsher punishment than if we didn't know him, as he's been cheating in Mordhau for a while apparently. Like i've said in other replies, we want to get all the facts before we make a decision.

He only contacted you after he got caught, though. Do you think that sets a good example? Let people cheat for as long as they want, then let them keep playing as long as they tell you what they did after they're caught?

And the "indefinite" ban could be of any length, so he's literally only getting an unofficial punishment for cheating, one that may not even be all that harsh. This is a very strange way for an actual dev studio to handle cheaters.

This is true - which is why we haven't ruled out a game ban as of now, we're just getting all the facts first before we make a decision.

We're still looking into it, this might happen but we don't want to knee-jerk ban someone before getting the full story.

The player in question was using also clumsy and autohotkey to drop packets whenever they were in release! That's definitely a 3rd party tool! The dude who'd made the cheats fully released them into the discord for people to use

The networking model for mordhau is fundamentally vulnerable to people using tools like clumsy, no amount of anticheat can fix crappy internet

We're still investigating, and we're also working on making things like clumsy much less effective.

Mod support was said to come, i heard they are having a bit of trouble tho.

Not trouble, but it is a big undertaking - other short term things we're working on rn and mod support will probably be the first long-term thing that gets done. :)

3 shot, just like longsword, but it used to be worse in nearly every way compared to it before

Comment

that's a parry>riposte, look how the weapon comes up and then swings from the right, if it was a chamber it'd be a left slash. 'morph matching' was removed pre release

Comment

incoming, models and textures are done afaik

i murder the "friendly bards" who are sitting on the cap point waiting for you to not look so they can throw their firebombs

vile tricksters begone

i think he's gonna need some carrots soon

We are looking into adding specific color selection for red/blue etc, but the armory code is some of the oldest code in the game and we would need to re-write most of it, making it take much longer than you would think. It's something personally I would really like, but other things have priority.

RULE #9, memes are fine but let's not try to argue over the optimal economic system, because let's be honest, nobody in this sub actually cares about your political opinions

Hello!

One very notable mordhau player has just been banned for cheating. This was an enormous problem in C:MW, and mordhau has absolutely no anticheat

That person was in one of our first scrims we played in the competitive scene, and if nothing else was extremely toxic

Are you guys working on any kind of anticheat to prevent this stuff from happening again? Otherwise its going to super undermine the validity of the 1v1 aspect of the game

When I asked on launch, the consensus seemed to be "well, it'll just be fine" or "well there's no real cheats yet", but clearly the game suffers from at least a few of the same problems that chivalry had in that department, despite being serversided (ue4 uses a lax partly client authoritative network model for some things, its why unreal speedhacks are so common)

Thanks!

We do have an anticheat, two in fact; VAC and one coded in the game which I can't talk about too much.
The way this person was cheating wasn't done with external software, it was an oversight that was abusable. Due to the fact the said player wasn't using external software and told a developer how he did the cheat, he's not game banned, but he is effectively banned from competitive play, as the Mordhau Competitive Group (de facto community comp authority) has indefinitely banned him from competing. We would extend this ban over to other esports/competitive organizations as well.

Surely you mean 232>223, since while legs take less damage in general, 233 will still sometimes mean an additional HTK over 232.

yeah big typo late response
