Heya, needless to say v excited! Some things on me mind:

  1. Is there any attention being given to reworking one handed animations? They are often the least realistic, least readable, and most frustrating animations in the game.
  2. Any specific details on how riposte animations will be altered in future? Although not as consistently egregious as one handed animations they certainly could be more readable in certain circumstances.
  3. More frequent snippets in future? Snippets give users concrete things to talk about and be excited for while waiting for the next patch, and really help keep conversation on topic more often in the discord. Even less flashy things like the armoury rework, UI changes, and animations are really worth while things for a lot of people to see and talk about.
  4. Have the devs considered documenting more obscure information in-game, perhaps an in-game guide? Many less well known mechanics like riposte hyperarmour and the miss detect...

  1. Yep! We'll definitely look into it going forwards, animations are something we've wanted to improve for quite a while.
  2. From what crush and I discussed, it's mainly making them smoother and more readable, it's hard to exactly explain - but the relative movement of the weapon should feel more consistent and not 'jump' into release without seeming like anything happened beforehand.
  3. This dev cycle has more or less been backend work, and a few other, very minor things. I'll check to see if I can get the OK to show some stuff off at our next meeting :)
  4. It's a good idea. I'll bring it up with the team and see if this is something we can include.
  5. It is an interesting idea. We'll see what happens, maybe it would work, maybe not. That's what testing is for :)
  6. Lol i think dodge just needs a rework to make it both useful and not annoying. Right now it's kind of gimmicky and infuriating.
  7. If an item isn't allowed in combination with oth...

Do you plan to add surcoat in the game? And I would also like to see a lot more variety of chain mail

Something like this is unlikely, as it impacts armor readability. We have plans for some more things similar though, in due time :)

I am once again asking for contextual voice lines, like team specific objective voice lines for players, a team specific announcer for objectives.

Also adding a customization system similar to chiv when it comes to team specific game modes would be nice. Allowing players to change their loadouts within a limited color pallet. For example, allowing Free guard to use different shades of orange and yellow, as well as different shades of blue and white. Same goes with Iron company. To prevent spy loadouts from appearing from this change, remove options for leather, like choosing white leather or fur on Iron company, and black leather and fur for free guard.

One more thing would be updating the old nobles within blue grad invasion. Currently the warden and commander don't have clash from block, or kick ragdolls unlike the mountain peak, crossroads, and castello nobles. Also improving the health on kill from 2 to 4 would make playing a noble more fun, being able to use th...

A few points here:

- Voice lines are tough, since once we've recorded them it's much harder to get extra ones at a later date. Also, contextual lines could be even more difficult if we have to go and contact the voice actors (who are all freelance and might be busy) for a new map, etc. It's not impossible, but at the moment it's something we aren't able to commit to. MAybe in the future, though!

- The tutorial is something we definitely could work on. It would probably be best for us to leave the existing one and make little training segments for each mechanic, as that would be more beneficial as compared to going into theory which is subject and always changing.

This is great feedback though, and I'll share this with the team for sure!

Hey /u/Jaaxxxxon just a couple of things

  1. There are a lot of helmets with variations of themselves, I think it would be better if instead of them being miles away down the list you had folders for each helmet with variants that you could navigate through regardless of their tier. E.g. German Salet->German Salet, German Salet no visor etc.
  2. Horde could really benefit from a big climax at the last round, maybe something like a boss fight with a health bar
  3. I know people asked for stuff like this all the time, but will we be seeing any medieval Eastern European stuff like Byzantine or Slavic or Hungarian and Romanian themed stuff? I hear you're already doing a Scimitar which pretty much encompasses all that. I posted this map idea a while back. Would love to hear your thoughts.
  1. Armory stuff is planned, and will be part of a rework. Lots of good improvements coming with that, some time in the future.
  2. We also want to rework Horde, it's a great mode with insane potential, and we can absolutely do more with it. :)
  3. Also probably something that we're planning for the future at some point, no guarantees but it'd add a ton of variety without looking out of place. Map idea is pretty cool as well!

Hey all!

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions - as always, we love to hear what you're interested in having in Mordhau for the future, and what needs to be changed. Let us know what you'd like to see in the game, and what you'd like changed in MORDHAU currently!

As for this week's meeting notes, we spent the entire time testing build 20, which needs a bit more work. There are a few issues with buildables, bugs, some cosmetic issues, and a few minor things, as well as a relatively game-breaking bug on a certain map - that being said, it shouldn't be too much longer!

Last week's feedback can be found here:

1) New colors (bright pink and less bright pink) aren't available for emblems. Is that a bug?

2) Night mode for maps could be a very cool thing. Are devs planning to do that?

3) let us use certain gestures on horseback. For example: wave, point, throat cut, thumbs up and thumbs down, cheer, yelling, disapprove

4) More things as rewards for lvl 200 would be amazing. For example: banners and metal tints

5) Did devs consider making jupon as an option for torso?

6) Give us an option to customize default mercenaries by giving them perks.

  1. I think it's a bit of an oversight, we'll take a look.
  2. With the current setup of our maps, the lighting is part of the level. We'd need to separate lighting data and level data, which is tough. Currently if we move a tree 10 feet we need to rebuild lighting for the map with each game mode, now factor in multiple times of day and that number explodes. We'll see what we can do, but for the time being it's a bit out of scope.
  3. Hmm, we could look into that. Not a huge priority but something that could be fun :)
  4. Agreed, lots of people are getting higher in rank and that might be a nice thing to look forwards to.
  5. Hmm, not sure if there is anything under the breastplate but it could be a great t1 piece!
  6. Probably not going to be a thing, the default classes are meant to be locked. I don't see a benefit to adding that compared to the coding work needed to implement this.

New game modes that focus unused map areas and new objectives would spice things up

The plan is really more to just create new maps that are a bit more focused on current game modes. Old maps had to account for things like BR, now that we're not focused on that it lets us be more efficient with map design.

Greetings, Jaxxon. I hope your moving out works well. I have some questions.

  1. Consider lowering tier 1 armour to 2 points instead of 3 (for chest and helm).

  2. Longbow being 33p is a bit exxagerated imo , i think 30p would be better or even 28.

  3. Currently i have many builds where i have 1 spare point i cant fit anywhere , maybe a bit of perk point changing like Rat ( being 6 points is questionable).

  4. Pls unban Adeveth i miss him

  5. 3 Coloured armor ? Alpha tabbard had 3 colours on it iirc , maybe in teh future we can get to put more than 2 colours on cloth , for variety. You can keep 2 colours for team colours.

  6. More OST from the guys that made the original music? In teh future i mean.....for the new maps.

Hey, thanks! Not moving out, just moving. Finally settled in :)
1. We can look into armor, I think we're focusing on other benefits and maybe changing up the light-medium armor dynamic instead of just lowering point cost.

  1. Archery is still in a bit of a weird spot, and I think at the moment we're trying to work on some other melee specific gameplay elements, and reducing a bit of projectile spam. IMO, making projectiles more impactful and less spammy would make archery/thrown weapons more satisfying, and improve the melee experience by reducing the frequency of non-stop projectiles.

  2. We'll definitely take a look at point costs, and try to make some things more viable and useful. Changing the point costs up was great for balance and loadout diversity, but it still could use some work and polish.

  3. No, naughty streamsniper.

  4. Not a thing that's possible. All armor has been limited to 2 color selections, because o...

Sometimes you can't pick up bear traps when you drop them on the ground with G. It feels like it happens a third of the time, so it's kinda annoying when I'm changing weapons around.

For new stuff, I still yearn for a proper rock sling and bracers that don't force you to wear gloves. pls n thank u jax bby <3

If you can reproduce this and send us a video, that'd be great. <3

EDIT: And at the moment we're not looking into extra projectile weapons, they're a bit overbearing with all the thrown weapons plus bows and stuff.

We are looking into this. I'll be sure to bring it up with crush and the team though 👍

1) Standardize the emote menu. Having different orders for different weapons is annoying.

2) Let us keybind specific emotes/voicelines.

3) Add names on mouseover to the various colors during customization.

4) If the noble leaves the match, have him replaced rather than killed.

5) Do something about griefers kicking teammates into spikes/off buildings.

Some good points here, I'll forward em on. :)

Hi, really looking forward to those combat changes, other than that just a couple things i thought of:

  • Any chance of adding some kind of autobalance? Maybe i was just unlucky, but about 3/4 of all matches i played this week (EU) were completely one sided because of stacked teams. Now if a group of high level friends or clanmates join a server, it's normal that they stomp, but when it is the norm for random high levels to stack together in one team, it kind of ruins the fun. Yes, levels or ranks aren't a perfect way to tell a players skill, but if one team has a lot of lvl < 30 and only two lvl 100s and the other team has five lvl 100s plus two lvl 200s, it's pretty obvious from the start who is going to win, with the entire weaker team usually having negative k/d apart from two or three players. Players from the weaker team sometimes just leave, so that team also gets outnumbered by as much as 3-4 players at times for a few minutes. Close matches are the most fun, but...

We can definitely look into these points, I'll make sure the team sees this!
