Does the dev team have any plans to include fidelity fx to the game?

Not currently. Things could always change, though.

Balance out some of the weapons please, i’m f**king tired of being insta jpeg accel’d by weapons like long sword and eveningstar, oh and reduce the turn cap of polehammer and bardiche while you’re at it

We are making all new combat animations at the moment - this should help massively.

Is crush's changes/experiments to combat mechanics still happening? I recall on the discord being talk of a jab or quick attack as a new punish attack which I believe had the moniker 'combat 2.0'. Are massive combat changes still being iterated on or is animation polish a priority?

So our general plan right now is new animations/fixes to the existing combat first, and then we'll start looking into some ideas in the future.

Hi Jax I hope your week is going fantastic so far, I also have a question for the team. Have you guys talked about fixing animation breaks? Last night I was playing and there was a guy just leaning back and hitting people above their heads. Like the weapon was not making contact with the model but it was registering as a hit.

We are re-doing all combat animations, yes.

Add damage for falling from height onto enemies

We've talked about adding the 'ol goomba stomp in, but it's such as random thing that wouldn't bring a huge benefit. Unfortunately, we have to focus on bigger priorities.

Regarding landing from heights, it would be nice to have something more sensible than the current ragdoll. I'm copying a comment I posted last week in a discussion with /u/Coom-guy:

Please consider changing the character behaviour when falling over from height so instead of ragdolling you fall over and stand up with a custom animation and do the same for when you fall of the horse and maybe some other things.

I agree, and it should be linked to the Cat perk. Right now it's a bit random and if you jump from a height you might ragdoll or you might be just fine, and both options are a bit dumb. Instead it should be:

  • Without Cat, low height: land on feet, maybe a bit of damage

  • Without Cat, medium height: land on feet and hands, need some time to get up, medium damage

  • Without Cat, high height: splat on the floor and die (need exaggerated sound for comedic ef...

We talked about it, at the moment our animation workload is maxing us out. We are thinking about potentially changing the ragdoll timings based on the Cat perk in the future, though.

Can we get a flat open field map with more of a pitched battle feel where two armies meet head to head? That would be epic on 80 player servers and I'm sure players could have fun drawing up in battle lines and stuff.

Having all the characters on-screen and relatively close to each other kills performance - that's why on maps like Camp for example, we try to branch out where players are fighting. I do agree that we could benefit from another open map though :)

Will any of the older maps be reworked in the future to flow better and have more interesting objectives? I know a revision to Castello is in the works, so will any other maps get future updates? Id really enjoy if there were more ways to interact with the maps added in the future as well, Maybe breakable stone walls on certain areas that you could try and break through similarly to the rocks in the feitoria tunnel?

As of now, Mountain Peak and Castello are getting changes - we're not looking much at destruction stuff, but opening things up in other ways is a priority.

Allow for customizable team colours, im so done with neon red vs neon blue and I know lots of people are too.

I'll bring it up at our next meeting. We've talked a bit about it, but haven't made a decision as of now.

I'll just reiterate my question from last week. You mentioned Grator and his team were working on 're-proportioning' some older cosmetics. Could we get a list of what he's planning on redoing, so that we may add to it, and an example, if there's any done, to know what we can expect?

I'll check in and ask him 👍

Hey all!

As usual, we'd love to hear any feedback and questions you all may have. Please keep things on-topic; joke posts tend to clutter the feedback and drown out actual suggestions. As for this week, we had a pretty short meeting; a few of the developers had some obligations to attend to, but overall development is still ongoing. A lot of work has been accomplished on tasks from previous weeks, and hopefully soon we'll have a decent idea of the timeframe for beginning the testing phase of our next update. I'll be releasing some snippets (most likely tomorrow) on the official Discord, Twitter and here - so stay tuned!

Anyways, here's some notes from today's meeting:

  • SDK verification is still ongoing.
  • Some misc. stuff has been fixed up, and Battlefield has been working on some support for making sure the BR mode still works with our next update.
  • Continued optimization on certain maps, with some recent changes this h...

There is one point that, as it seems to me, is worth correcting.

We have the flesh wound perk in the game, which works like this - if you received a fatal blow (not on the head), then you can run around for a few seconds with the ability to kill someone.

If you do not have this perk, then a fatal blow to any part of the body will kill you. It doesn't matter if the last blow was struck in the arm or in the leg - you die.

What I suggest is that the flesh wound perk should be default. That is, if you receive a fatal blow to the head or body, you die, but if this damage is received by an arm or leg, you run / crawl and scream for a few seconds. And yes, you can have time to kill someone.The non-default perk should increase your life time after a fatal blow by 5 seconds, as well as you do not die when receiving a fatal blow, not only on the legs and arms, but also on the body.Let's summarize what we get:

  1. Default perk Flesh Wound (should be built-in ...

We're not looking to make flesh wound a default perk - it's fine if a few people are using it, but it being default makes the combat a bit confusing and slow.

Triternion why are you guys so slow on the development u are listing the same old stuff every week.. U can't be serious about releasing a handfull of skins and 1 map in a whole year?! I'm sorry but what are you doing all day long?

I was hoping Chiv 2 release would wake u up but nothing happend as we can see.. Honestly wondering how long this will work out for you.

Usually, development on features and content takes longer than a week. We're working as hard as we can.

The chat is frequently really, really toxic and racist which I think drives many people away from the game, especially new players. I know the option is there to mute people, but I don't think many people know how to do that. Maybe a ban on certain keywords in order to prevent it. People love to rant about religion and politics which I think does the game bad.

We've implemented some basic filters - we're adding incrementally to this, as we don't want to go overkill and have people muted unintentionally. We're also adding in-game reporting in the future 👍

it would be cool, but at this point we're not really looking to add more options - there are a ton of semi-niche user preferences and we can't support all of them :(

  • A bug relating to fleshwound (right arm being severed causing the player to not be able to do anything) has been identified and fixed internally.

I'm curious why this was a problem? It seems fitting to the perk that you risk getting your arm chopped off and not be able to use it. Or do you actually mean not able to do anything at all?

what was intended:
if you no longer have a right arm, you can't ghost-punch people
what happened:
if you no longer have a right arm, you can't punch at all

this will be fixed in the next update :)

When will I and my fellow countrymen be able to incarnate in these warriors (especially those circled in blue)?

Of course, I tried to implement this image, but this is still not what we need. Thank you!

Some of the stuff coming in the Eastern Invasion patch should work pretty well - some of it is Arabic in origin, but there's a lot of visually similar overlap in Varangian/Eastern European/Arabic armor, so it could work out.

I think the game would benefit from the visual realism if you added animations instead of using ragdolls for everything. Also make so that bots that climb ladders near you dont ragdoll you but stun you or something. Btw I don't see anything wrong with the new flourish animation. The old one was awful

This is a good point, thanks a ton :)

So I was playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance and I was thinking that Mordhau combat system would make that game perfect. What I am trying to say is that you made this amazing combat system and if it would be possible to somehow export it to other games. Just imagine an RPG or MMORPG with Mordhau's combat. If this combat system lives and dies only inside Mordhau it would be an absolute waste

Yeah, I wish we could just plop our combat into something like Skyrim :D

This being said our combat formula for MORDHAU is 100% designed around arena-style PVP as a priority, so it wouldn't work at all in something larger scale like Mount and Blade. For something like that we'd definitely need some major changes, but having the hit-tracer system is something I hope more games adopt :)
