A while back, you said you would look into fixing the bug that prevents the pointy end of the polehammer from getting bloody. Is this being fixed? Because up to now I haven't seen anything happening that would suggest such.
We're aware of the bug for sure, thought we would have gotten it - I'll remind the team and we should be able to resolve this pretty easily.
We're identifying ways to retain new and less experienced players; we hope to push some of these changes live with the second part of EI.
That's good news. Tried to get my brother into Mordhau, but he quit after a few days.
Without knowing what you guys have planned already, I think more utility/support gameplay would definitely help mitigate new players feeling completely helpless in FL/INV.
As far as combat goes; at a casual level, it isn't super intuitive. Defensive options feel extremely limited in anything but clean 1v1s, which almost never happen in the larger/more casual modes. There's not much Chiv2 gets right, but its combat system is easier to understand, and feels a lot better in group fights (again, at a casual level).
All that said, EI part 1 was easily the best patch so far. Definitely looking forward to part 2.
Thanks for the kind words - and yeah, lots needed. We can't just upheave the combat system, but we can look into making the game overall just more approachable.

Thanks for the insights, we'll do our best!
Reduce Scimitar's damage. Only 3 hits into body with heavy armor and you are dead. For "small" sword like this, it's too strong.
Hey, thanks for the feedback.
We're looking at performance of the weapon and will be adjusting it if needed.
Hi, just wanted to ask if you guys are planning another Dev/Community stream like you did roughly 9 months ago? I really liked the format of getting some insights into the development process/thoughts behind it etc.
It's something we're looking at doing again in the future!
Read moreExpand the perk system for more diverse and committing gameplay.
I would love to see more interesting perks that create new ways to play. Many great perk ideas from the community have already been suggested. I don't think perks are too hard to implement either, they don't require art/animation etc which can take months to create.
Some example perks:
-Backstabber- Increase damage when attacking the backs of an enemy when using knives would be interesting.
-Alchemist- Fire bombs and Smoke bombs have increased radius and longer duration.
-Pickpocket- Punching an enemy makes then drop an item they aren't holding
-Medic- Revive teammates with a healing kit
We need more committing perks that create playstyles.
Archers for example have two perks that they can commit to be better with their weapon. Same goes for the engineers with their smith perk, it's a great way to make a character that is distinctively better at one thing...
We can discuss perks for sure. IMO, they're long overdue for some improvements.
A constant inconvenience for me is that it's not clear which team you are placed in at the start. Means you have to choose a mercenary just to show the map overview where you can see it. I like to know what I will be doing before I pick my dude. Spectate option seems to be gone too.
Good points, I'll talk to the team about this.
Hi, is there any word on what steps are being taken to address the massive packet loss we've been seeing in official servers? I know this has come up in the past but this past month, it's the worst I've ever seen it on the west coast time zone in the Americas. Could there be a migration to DDoS protected service providers?
We're on servers with DDOS protection - either it's DDOS attacks that get past our provider's defenses, issues with tickrate since the update, general server stability etc. In reality it's probably a combination of these, so we're looking at our options in these areas to resolve the issue. I'll talk to the team and figure out what can be done.
Read moreThe new map is pretty fun, but I'm not a fan of the "defend the stationary peasants" objectives still, especially at the end. Once the enemy breaks the barricade they either immediately go in and kill the dudes, or half your team blocks the door until the enemy overruns it enough to come inside, or throws a firebomb in there to get everyone at the door. Multiple games just have the enemy creeping forward with multiple spawn beacons. Honestly once everyone is clogging the door you just need a few firebombs and you can get in. I feel like a player or AI noble would be better or some other sort of object.
I feel like the scimitars main issue is the fact that tier 1 armor can be one shot by it and it has crazy accels, it just seems like a long hand axe before it's nerf.
For team balancing I'm curious if it would be better for the changes to be reverted, because the auto team assignment feels like I'm seeing team stacking more so than when we could choose. For the most p...
Thanks for the feedback, I'll get it sent over to the team.
building a ballista on top of the goat cage makes it jump in front of it, which lets you morph into a goataur. when you're in the cage you don't get targeted by any enemies unless you turn too far left or right.
screenshotted and reported to the team
the end of goatman is near >:)
Hey all,
As usual, we'd love to hear your feedback on MORDHAU - any comments, concerns, critiques or questions are welcome. Please remember to keep things on topic, and be civil to one another (and us, please)! Your feedback is essential for us to continue development, and it's very appreciated.
With that out of the way, here are some notes from our meeting:
It's supposed to, but it doesn't work.
I played 5 rounds on a 64 player US West Invasion server with him, we were on opposite teams 4/5 rounds.
party up and then join
More tools to learn would benefit all of us, not just the new players. A well thought-out training mode with many customisable presets which one could use to focus on improving specialized aspects of their skill would do wonders for people that are motivated to grow. Think tr_walkway from TF2 or that pyro_comp map. I've spent many-many hours on those, and in Mordhau i'd probably spend much more. Like the ability to spawn a bot that doesn't move and constantly attacks without console f**kery to practice swing manipulation, or several bots that do a specific attack to practice chambers, or a preset that would allow you to practice throwing shit on moving targets etc. All of this with in-depth explanation, tips and examples. Like an extended endless tutorial. Just sharing a dream! Totally love the update btw, amazing job, happy holidays!
Something like this is being looked into :)
With some regularity, I find myself killed and unable to respawn. You used to be able to fix this issue by switching to spectator, and then switching back to your team. With the removal of team stacking, you can't do this anymore. Please allow us to temporarily swap to spectator (though not swap teams if you want to retain the team-locked functionality), so that we can fix this issue when it occurs. Thanks.
The recent hotfix should have helped with this :)
I once again ask that you go through your armory and take a look at which items should be allowed to be equipped with each other, for example I see no reason why the regular aventail can't be equipped with the T3 flat top helmets (the tightened aventail looks really bad with those).
I'm pretty sure it clips really badly, we can talk about it though
T2 Leg Mail Chausses are darker than the other mail cosmetics. Really wish It matched the Mail shoes :(
We can look into it!
For real, Jax....where that billhook skin at?!
big true, idk but we need it
Merry Christmas. Can you guys make it so only the mod currently being played gets downloaded to the client? This is essential if modded FL/INV servers are to succeed.
We can look into it, thanks for the feedback!
Read moreStuff on my mind:
- Give us an anti archer/built ballista/throwables perk, that reduces damage from these sources.
- DLC skins look awesome, though I don't like that even low lvl players can look like a lvl 200 now. Before sexy outfits were tied to playtime. Now every lvl 5 runs around with the best looking armor available. Also the promise of having no micro transactions got busted with this. Little sad, but if it's good for the game, i guess it's ok?
- Well scimitar... why use any other 1hander now?
- New map looks good but plays a bit boring.. Don't know why tbh.. Also why can't u build on the "cloth roofs" of the bazar? On feitoria you can also build on the merchant stands, so either allow both or permit both.
- I'd rather revert the auto balance changes to how it was before and think of another mechanic to make it better. For example on a 200 point deficit the winning teams top 3 players get an invitation to switch teams for 100 extra go...
I think the current team stacking measures have gone a bit too far. For me it is a lot more fun to play archer or engineer while defending than attacking. Now i only have a 50/50 shot of getting what i want and that just sucks.
I have even seen some people join ,leave and rejoin until they join the team they wanted to be in. In the end this change is just too drastic and generally is badly recieved by the playerbase as well.
I know team stacking can be a pain but honestly this is not the correct way to prevent it. Maybe just give people that autofill a small gold bonus or something.
Regardless eastern invasion has been an excellent update and I am looking forward to the next update.
( Weather effects in invasion maps when? The new brawl map looks absolutely wonderful )
With team stacking, it's still a work in progress; we're hoping to improve this in the future.
As for weather, Cortile was a testbed for this kind of stuff, so yeah it's planned to expand it to other maps in the future.
