The delay to activate parry should be reduced. Parrying stupidly fast accels are already hard enough to do, you cant rely on the grunt the person makes as the audio reaction time to do that is literally faster than what the human is capable of reacting to, and you cant block before hand as they can easily feint it. When you put on top of that a delay until the parry begins, it just worsens this. It makes no sense why its there. If somebody reacts at the last second, why should his parry be ignored? Accels by far are the most annoying thing to counter, but this can be fixed with reducing the delay when parrying.

This whole game is set around precise timings, super fast accels, super slow drags, to add a delayed time until your parry is finalized just makes it basically impossible to react to an accel thrown out of nowhere, and it is what makes feinting more powerful than it should be. When you on top of that add ping people have, certain accels are downright impossible to b...

Any plans for horse caparison customization in the future? It wouldn’t be much of roleplaying to have a teutonic knight loadout, for exemple, on top of a horse with a blue and white/red and black caparison. In fact, a system of horse customization would not only fit the upcoming Eastern Invasion update, it would be an overhaul amazing addition to the game.

Well I’m glad you’re back and full of energy, I always look forward to these posts every week! Awesome stuff gentlemen, can’t wait to see the new changes and fixes and all the new cosmetics! I always ask and I figured you can’t really answer specifically, but are you hoping to have this drop this summer or in Q3?

Maybe a stupid idea and I'd love for people to tell me why if it is, but I'd love it if 80 player servers were removed and instead there was some bot padding to make the fights feel bigger with fewer players.

Would it be possible to set a "special attack" for some weapons? I personally think you should be able to plant your halberd or Spear into the ground to brace against calvary. Maybe have the ability to use the Mordhau Grip fighting style on other swords like the Messer and greatsword.

I personally think all weapons should be able to be thrown again back to my "special attack" idea. Hell maybe just make it so holding R will throw the weapon. Perhaps all weapons with the exceptions of Zweihander, Polehammer, Spear etc. Basically all but the absolute largest weapons.

What about a true overhead strike? You lift your weapon directly over your head and slam it down. Could be balanced due to low Accel and drag ability for turn manipulation. Could do higher damage in exchange for a high stamina cost, no ability to combo, and if missed leads to a slightly longer parry cooldown.

Perhaps make the battlefield more brutal. What if they added onto the gore system. More...

You know what would be great? Different teams other than just red and blue fighting each other, like why cant there be purple vs green or yellow vs brown or maybe even black vs white? Maybe even mox match the teams so a random color is fighting a random color. Seeing red vs blue always fight eachother in every game kinda gets stale

Why is the 80 player "experiment" still running after a whole year? 30 tick simply can't support this kind of combat, a player can do everything right and still fail because the server can't keep up which is confusing as hell for new players generally feels awful, let alone the packet loss issues 30 tick exacerbates. The 80 player servers are also an optical nightmare for the game, despite Mordhau having superb netcode these servers are giving people the impression the whole game is a clunky mess with poor netcode because they get matchmade onto these servers. Most players are very casual and use matchmaking, they don't probably don't even realise the difference between 48 and 80, just that some severs are good and most of the servers they play are bad, because the nature of high playercount means the 80 player servers suck up the playerbase and leave the 48 player servers with lower playercounts than they otherwise should have, diminishing the qua...

Rework most maps or design maps going forward as though vaulting does not exist. If the only way to get on to a platform or surface is using the vaulting mechanic then it slows gameplay fluidity and increases one sided and low effort interactions. I think vaulting should be seen more as another option than a requirement.

We're looking to tone down the catapult - at the moment it's a Mordhau drone strike - there's no risk in using it. What we're looking at doing is a reduction in range but an increase in movement speed, and also adding some restrictions on where you can use the catapult from. Having a catapult kill your entire team from inside a spawn protection zone isn't a good gameplay loop, and so that's what we're looking to fix.

This is more an issue with spawn protection zones on certain maps. The current implementation is pretty strange, how can you tell which open space in Camp is spawn protected and what is not? The only indication that you're in a spawn protected zone is a message on the screen. Where do you have to go to get out of it? No idea, just run until the message disappears within 5 seconds.

The current implementation is probably the easiest given the current maps and spawning in empty space. I'd like to see future maps where spawns are...

Multiple feint spamming makes players look like they are holding their weapon mid wind-up before a sudden attack. This goes directly against the "fights that look like fights" idea of Mordhau. https://streamable.com/cl1laj I would suggest removing the option to feint again after a feint on the same side (left or right) regardless of whether its a stab, overhead, slash or underhand attack unless you wait for the animation to return to zero or change attack sides before the next feint. I know it's a stamina drain but it doesn't really change anything because in invasion stamina is meaningless and lots of people use the Fury perk anyways. It looks stupid, please consider changing it.

Will the Eastern Invasion DLC be paid content?

I would have no problem with pumping out like 10 extra bucks to support you guys, but make sure to only include the cosmetic content in there and make the maps available to everyone. Splitting the playerbase in an already small populated game would suck.

Idea: Different Generic voice lines dependent on your level. So the longer you play the game, the more veteran your voice lines become. New players have less intimidating voice lines.

Small needed stuff:

• emote and voice wheel that does not change based on what you are carrying (just gray out the unavailable ones)

• change blue ballista on Feitoria. It's just dumb. It's literally a spawnkilling ballista with a convenient way of sneaking in without anyone noticing on two sides. Same with blue ballista on Grad, it's pointing right at the spawning area. Or red ballista in Mountain Peak.

• limit smoke bombs to 1 per loadout

Longer term:

• having a few random map variations for each map (e.g. having red camp on Grad starting in the woods or in the farms) would keep the game fresh

• more maps, obviously. It's the most urgent thing.

• running while raising shield and pressing F should do a shield bash, at the cost of a lot of stam

• we have smoke bombs, fire pots, and a good addition would be oil pot. Makes a surface shiny and slippery (ragdoll if y...

Item suggestion: Peasant shields

I don’t know if pot lids existed in medieval times, but a pot lid shield (basically a buckler reskin) would be a great addition for Pan-Man and other peasants.

Exanima also featured an improvised barrel lid shield, which could function like a targe or round shield in Mordhau.

While were on the topic of the catapult, I don't like that idea, but if you guys do go ahead and go through with the idea, at least make the terrain on Camp and Feitoria more "catapult friendly". Currently, the catapult can get stuck on literally anything and just start glitching out because the terrain is awful.

I think an emote called "Pose" would be amazing, it'd make your character take on the armory selection screen pose appropriate for your currently equipped item
you could stand guard at a door if you had a speer, or stand all menacing loik with an executioner sword.

Hey, Jax. I hope everything is going well. I have several questions.

1. Will we get the new maps, Moors, and women in 2021?

2. Will there be a new male voice made with the Moors in mind?

3. How many female voices are planned? Do you have voice actresses picked out?

4. Will the new maps be more streamlined for frontline/Invasion? The old maps, while beautiful, felt like they were made with every game mode in mind, to their detriment

5. I assume the team has seen St0uty's recent comments/video on combo-after-miss. Are you having an internal discussion on this?

6. Can we see some snippets? I would especially like to see how the in game models for the Moors and women are coming along.

7. You've recently added some members to the dev team. Do you feel development is progressing faster now?

8. Sound cues for being approached from the sides or behind.. would this be louder footsteps, ...
