We changed to PlayFab instead of SteamWorks, so yeah that's not going to be a thing since player profiles aren't directly connected through Steam. We've planned on doing an in-game friends list, but as you might have noticed we've got other things we need to do that are more important for the health of the game.
can't be nudity if there's no uhh... anything
poor guy
Is this for the team tournament thing?
I remember you mentioning it on Sloths stream a few weeks ago. E.g. a mini tournament with the winning team being able to use the crown for a few months until the next tournament.
yep, like a title belt kinda thing
It's a new cosmetic for events, we'll be announcing what it will be for soon™
Hey all!
Good news - it's update time! With the release of this build, any feedback, suggestions, etc. will be massively helpful, and any issues you find we can fix faster (if we know about them, of course).
Especially for this week, feedback about this update will be massively useful, so we'd love to hear your thoughts!
Aside from testing and getting this update ready, some progress notes:
"We ran into a few issues with some map geometry which have been fixed,
but this requires us to rebuild the HLOD (hierarchical level of detail)
for a map."To be fair, if it's the upcoming map Castello, we all might laugh at your face due to the fact it's meant to be just yet another simple little "Arena" style map.
That's Cortille, and no I think the issues were on either Mountain Peak or Grad.
I just randomly got banned playing on public Deathmatch, but I've been permamuted so I have no idea what I could've done to get a ban🤔
Sorry for the late reply - hit up a moderator on discord, and we can take a look and see what happened. We had a security breach a few days ago :(
Make it so as a dwarf it is easier to block insane drags, because it is almost impossible to block em iunno what im doing wrong
dwarf is kind of meant to be a joke class, not sure that we're going to try to make it completely viable
Read moreYou are indies! You are giving to much details to the players! They are ungrateful rats who can't appreciate what you do! Why explaining dev circumstances or approaches etc.? come one, guys, stop licking the asses of all those little rats who never even payed the full price for your product! I am an indie dev myself and I realized one thing in the industry: DON'T GIVE DETAILS!!!! WORK HARD, PUBLISH and that's it! To much details and commitment and they tear you apart! Also, turn off the stupid unnecessary chat window which almost destroyed the game. Those rats have discord anyway. Shall they meet in their private own primitve circles. If they want to f**k up something, they can do it in there with their stupid friends. The funny voice choices are enough and one of the big USP that makes the game, except from your excellent technical game play!
STOP LICKING COMMUNITIES ASS!!!
To all the wise guys under 30! I would take from everyone of you kids the PC away and send y...
yeah no this ain't it chief
I'd agree with you entirely if we talked about a flail with a short handle, and a longer chain. But a hussite flail would mostly consist of a long shaft, and the chain was super short. The head wouldn't have too much freedom to move around with a tiny chain, and combined with a long shaft, it wouldn't be that hard to tell how far away the weapon is from hitting you.
Either way, we'd have to make the head move semi-independently, which would require a ton of time to implement. It's not a bad idea, it's just with the current state of patches taking a few millennia each, we can't devote dev resources for things that aren't super-critical.
Read morePersonally I have two main problems
1) I find the more expensive perks are too demanding of points, taking away from the rest of the merc.
2) Often the weapons, perks, armour etc that I want to use doesn't add up to 48 perfectly, and I find myself just adding on a bandage, a shortsword or the supplied or mule perk even though I'll probably not use it and it doesn't fit the rest of the loadout.
I had an idea of instead using an incremental perk mechanic, at least for the more expensive ones where instead of spending 15 points on bloodlust to heal to full health when you get a kill, you could:
Spend 5 points to heal 33% of your health on a kill, or spend 10 points to heal 66% of your health on a kill.
More static perks like peasant, tank, dwarf etc could just remain a binary option
If this could also be applied to the cheaper perks then I think it would help solve the second issue, of leftover points by massively increasing the number o...
Yeah, these are some good points. I'll bring them up to the team :)
I know very little about building maps, but will the SDK be fairly intuitive to use?
Eh, it's going to be a pretty in-depth editor, so you'll probably want to learn how to use the UE4 tools. The upside is that you'll have tons of capability with the tools, even if there's a bit of a learning curve.
being able to build on moving carts (pavises and toolbox walls only) would be a cool way of countering ballistas kinda like a moving shield
It's not possible for the buildable objects to dynamically move like this, unfortunately.
Read moreA few suggestions:
- Archer foot speed debuff when their bow is out and a few seconds after switching. The reason is to prevent archers from running away when someone closes in on them. Currently, archers are free to peck away at anyone and never have to be in any danger because they run behind team mates, rinse and repeat. You can go 40-5-20 doing this and anyone who's played against Lobster in NA east will tell you its annoying as sin. Shields only protect you so much and that doesn't address that the only counter play to this is to go archer yourself. Archery is not all that skillful so doing this peck and run away is stupid easy. I can get stupid high KD with it as well and I rarely play archer.
- Increase arrow damage to horses or let the butcher perk increase arrow damage to horses. Or lower horse health. The amount of work it takes to kill a horse is insane, combine that with the number of horses and horse respawn timer dealing with them makes me want to ...
Not too sure about the first one, but I'm a fan of the second two. I'll forward this on to the devs :)
Would you ever consider adding “noob friendly” servers? With a max lvl cap to let the new players get some experience without being stomped on.
Edit: q for dev, don’t rly care what all y’all gamers think
We plan on changing some things with soft MMR, but we won't be doing specific level-locked servers. The reason being is that a new player would have a very abrupt transition from the low-level servers into mega-sweaty unlocked ones - instead, we want to make it more of a transition with skill based matching where it's possible.
Please, don't remove flinch on kicks after end of wind-up. This will make facehugging with fast one-handers even stronger than it is now.
Nerf for chambering is also unnecessary, it is already difficult to use against competent opponent and doesn't even give much of advantage. Heck, if opponent defence isn't passed by first two chambers and then they continue to block rest of attacks, then you most likely just f**ked up your stamina game and will lose to person, who just blocks. This comes from a person, who chambers a lot.
The chamber is supposed to be a move that is less optimal than hard-reading and parrying, so we're just tweaking that a bit to make it more apparent. With a few other changes that are coming it should make the combat feel a bit more fresh.
I know this is easy for the consumer to say, but do you guys think it is acceptable for mordhau to not receive an update in a bit less 5 months? you guys have 20+ devs, like cmon aha. I know that you needed to squash bugs and upgrading the unreal engine is not easy by no means, but every update takes so damn long. The next one is likely to be 4-5 months and there will be other reasons why, I really think if the game got updated more it wouldn't be as dead as it is. You guys have one of the most passionate player base I have ever seen for a game, the declining player numbers are upsetting to see.
Yeah believe me, I'm not a fan of it (and the team isn't happy about it either).
people will be disappointed when the patchie finally come after half a year (february doesnt count, that barely added anything) and we get like 4 or 5 new things, most of them variations of an armor skin we already have. Keep your expectations realistic, guys
There's more than 5 things, and they're not just reskins :)
You can add cosmetics, without being tied to an update, as soon as you are ready. This would soften the expectations of the players, especially as I understand the update was postponed only because of the map and technical issues.
We can't though, with the way we update - otherwise we would. Either way, we plan on doing more iterative updates when we can, with the engine update it was kind of an 'all or nothing' since so much of the underlying code has to change.
