Mordhau Dev Tracker

Some feedback regarding the UI for deployable spawns (when you're on the big map choosing a spawn point):

• It's not really intuitive when a deployable spawn is "available" vs. "waiting." I think there could be a more obvious difference between the two states.

• The mechanics of the deployable spawn "availability" is unclear. Is it time-gated? Or limited by proximity of teammates? Proximity of enemies? It would be nice if the "countdown to availability" was visible in the map UI.

• When a deployable spawn is very close to a traditional spawn, the overlapping icons can be confusing and hard to click on the one you want.

• It's inconsistent that traditional spawns usually spawn you far away from the icon, while deployable spawns are always pinpointed right on the icon. Ideally, traditional spawns should show you a shaded area where you might spawn, instead of looking like a single point on the map.

This is really interesting. Can you comment on how much more popular the new Horde is compared to the old Horde so far? One of the graphs you shared a long time ago had Horde at around 16%.

do you have any thoughts on improving skirmish? (5v5 format, limited/no archers, no toolbox, remove maps like grad and use tweaked designs of maps like tourney and contraband where it's currently easy to avoid fights and force a draw)

u/Jaaxxxxon when will we get folders?

I know some people might have thought people were joking but a big rework of the armory UI would be very nice to have.

Some filters, a search bar, and folders /categories.

If anybody's curious, I'm asking because Crush said on the Discord that 95% of players play horde, invasion and frontline, and as such doesn't care about skirmish, duel or ranked players. Which is a duel, skirmish and ranked player, annoys me and intrigues me.

Week 4 of asking for an update on female characters

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 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.

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.

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.

Expand 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...

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.

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?

The 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...

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.

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.

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!
