Might really be worth it to remarket the game as a UE5 game with enhanced visuals and you might get a lot more cash money for it since there are not many UE5 games out. (Free remaster DLC/Update and sell the game as Mordhau Remastered? Could be a good idea to raise with the team since you're already remastering the combat.)
The lighting and enhanced visuals would be awesome, would allow for even grittier visuals, thought it would be a good suggestion seeing as you said you are looking at updating the engine in order to be able to hotfix after releasing a patch so it would be a good opportunity to do a port to UE5.
Can you please leave a comment and confirm whether the team will consider this Jax?
Hey! So at the moment we're not looking at doing a MORDHAU remaster for our next project - for a few reasons. Mostly because UE5 is pretty brand new, porting it over would effective stop any further development on mord, and if we are going to swap engines, it's probably best to make a completely new game, whether it's 'Mordhau 2' or something a bit different.
The development time needed would require us to sell a UE5 version, and it would be a slap in the face to y'all if we just updated some graphics and charged $30.
tl;dr - unlikely
I'm excited for the class folders, now I can finally have all my memes in one folder so I don't need to search for it.
Yep, but you can also search for it as well via the loadout search bar :)
Thanks a lot for the explanation. I figured it couldn't be so simple but it just goes to show how complicated game development really is :/
A WIP build could be a good idea but I doubt the playerbase is big enough for that...
No problem! And yeah, there's definitely value to feedback, it's just not always applicable all the time.
Also - we were floating the idea of a public playtest around, but we haven't come to a decision on that as of now.
I assume it's part of the unified design (with controller support) for the console ports.
correct, easier to have one system as opposed to maintaining two. Also, there's more functionality and in general less clicks to do whatever you want.
Left to right is fine. I like the idea of folders. Do you plan on making load out backups (which are unfortunately necessary) more easy? E.g. separate Textfile/ folder instead of squishing it in the game.ini
I don't think there's plans for that, although there should be a backup game.ini.
Changing that aspect of the inventory system kind of goes into the point of diminishing returns - if anything, we would probably look into fixing loadouts getting wiped as opposed to making backups easier to use.

Glad the work on Arid is going smoothly, however I think you should change how you actually work on the maps. It's a bit too late for Arid, but for any future maps, I think you should consistently post screenshots on the actual layout, how the objectives will work, etc. You don't want to spend months on a map that the community will just end up not liking, and personally I don't see any downsides to just sharing how the map will work gameplay wise. And I'm talking about just the layout itself, it could all be white polygons, it wouldn't matter, we just need to know how the actual layout works. And when you've found a good layout that most people really like, then you can start working on the art itself. Of course I'm not a game dev but from the perspective of a player I think this is the best approach.
And about wome...
I agree that we should definitely share more of the early stages, but we can't develop an entire map design based on feedback - this might sound a bit harsh, but let me explain.
If we decided to take feedback into account on the actual design, we would never get a proper consensus from players, and "design by reddit/committee" just ends up with kinda mediocre results. We can absolutely take feedback for specific things, but the level designers create a map based on our lessons learned with objective flow, respawn/gameplay timing and pacing, performance and technical requirements, etc.
You can kind of get an idea of what's needed by looking at a whitebox layout and having experience in the game for sure, but changing the overall/core design of a map requires technical knowledge that most people (including myself) don't have.
Player feedback is super important - while we can't really use public feedback for the reasons I listed above (i.e. 15 people think we s...

(copy/paste from another reply)
With this UI stuff it's not just a cosmetic switch, it's a complete rework of the entire UI and interaction system how how you actually click on things in menus and such, so no swapping between the two.
Can we please have the option to keep the current armory? I'm sorry but that new screenshot looks really rough, blocky, and unintuitive to my eyes. I prefer the aesthetic of what we have now.
No, we're not going to be supporting the old version - it's already gone internally.

Was there any discussion regarding changes to how Triternon's dev cycle operates? The current method that renders hotfixes impossible beyond the week that an update is released might be feasible for a game that hasn't been released to the public, but when a title is released like this, the lack of patches and fixes make it look like the dev team doesn't care about their game. You mentioned bringing this issue up to the dev team a month ago, but we haven't seen any acknowledgement of Triternon actually coming up with a solution.
At the moment, no - not with the version control stuff. We hadn't built our workflow around it for this game (big mistake obviously) and it's still technically possible to do it, but that might end up causing a development delay or slowing us down in unexpected ways.
I believe that we're still looking into it, but it's not the number one priority, unfortunately.
There were important question from last q&a not answered. Higher tickrates, engine updates, npc guards. Can you adresses these important questions the community had for the devs?
Yeah, for sure - I'll go grab some of those and post em in here with responses this week.
Imo it's better keep the "menu" on the right side but it is what it is i guess
Some stuff kinda pops out in different menus, so it expands left → right. If we had stuff on the right it would kinda end up being weird and squash in and overlap, especially in different languages that are wordy.
Hey everyone,
As usual, we'd love to hear your feedback on the game - any comments, questions, concerns, etc. are all welcome here; your feedback is extremely valuable to us and helps us massively with development. In addition to feedback, we'd like to share a bit on what's been going on behind the scenes! Like always, please keep comments on topic - and please be courteous to others.
As for feedback, this week we looked at quite a few things, although a few notable talking points this week were:
FYI:
appeals and stuff should go through reddit modmail/ discord dms, not discussed in public - it doesn't help with appeals to clutter the sub with this kind of thing, and imo it detracts from subreddit as a whole. I'm free to discuss it but let's do it in a private chat.
Like I said above, apologies for this one being a little light on info. I'll add more stuff to this post if I can get more stuff to share with y'all. :)
Hey all,
As usual, we'd like to hear your feedback - and share some insight on what's going on behind the scenes! Please be sure to ask any sort of question you might have, give feedback, constructive criticism, or suggestions - they're incredibly helpful for us, and we appreciate all of them. Now, onto development!
Like before, we're keeping a running list of known problems:
Development update:
Mostly, we're just working on Ari...
In the future you can take screenshots or video preferably and send it to the devs or the community Mod here. They actually take these things seriously and have banned a fee accounts before
The mods have banned like a couple of thousand of accounts for griefing / exploiting/ votekick abuse, some temp, some permanent. We just need a report with evidence (screenshot of the player list and pic/video of whatever they're doing) to log it and take action.
Edit: reddit/discord mods are in-game admins as well, so a report here will do. They're usually a bit more responsive to DMs via discord since that's kind of the main hub for them, but you'll get reports taken care of from here too.
That's the worst thing about Noria Invasion, the middle room is always the last to go and it always ends with people blocking the door and it getting barraged by fire bombs spammed.
I think we'll probably be looking at some tweaks for Arid sometime after we release it, so if we're already rebalancing one map, might as well do another then as well.
AFAIK, all the map people are working on Arid, so I don't think we'll see major updates to Noria's objective design in the next patch - but it's something we can definitely take a look at in the future.
Change how the coding process works within Tirternon, previous comments showcase that the current process makes it impossible to release hotfixes after the first few weeks of each major update. This is awful for keeping the game alive, as it allows glitches and overpowered weapons to be abused for months before anything can be done about it. Even in scenarios where these issues are few and far between, small and consistent updates help portray that the game is alive and constantly being worked on to the casual player.
It's one of those things where it's relatively easy to get a system working like this prior to release, but once the game is out... it's not trivial to implement. Hindsight is 20/20. We're doing the best we can, trying to leverage content updates with backend improvements. I'll be sure to let everyone know if we can figure out a solution.
