What's up with the recent DDos? What have you learned from it and how will you try to prevent it.
Can't say too much at the moment, but we're doing what we can. Also, upgrading our UE4 version in the near future should help - native DDOS mitigation has been implemented :)
I hate to ask for more cosmetics that don't change the gameplay, but lamellar definitely needs revision. It looks more like leather than steel (particularly the shoulder slot). Please add some rigid lamellar armor.
We will add some good lamellar!
Make armour tints more noticeable in-game and in menu (%90 are shades of grey and are next to indistinguishable) and maybe add a couple.
As for in-game, we don't want them to be over saturated, but I do agree that there could be a few ones that are a little more dramatic. On the UI side, it's already sorted internally and we should get it out in the next update.
The slow progress is hurting your game
That's why we've brought on like 6 people in the past few months. Once everybody's all settled in, things are going to go a lot faster! :)
Last I talked to g3ach a while ago he said there were a couple of maps one of which was in it's final stages of development. I'm also confused by this. I assume there's no ETA for the next patch either.

*astronaut meme* never has been
In all seriousness though, next update isn't too far off. Just a few things to finish up and we'll get it tested and released :)
This map that has been alluded to since October is still in early development? Do you guys spend 2 hours a week on map development? Map development doesn’t and shouldn’t be moving this slowly. Meanwhile, you waste an entire discord of zealous modders and map creators. Just let the community make the maps at this point and make competitions for the best maps like Chivalry did. Let us help the game not die
Other than that, great changes. The friendly perk change has been a no brainer since the games inception.
there are like 3/4 big maps in development, each at different stages! we hope to have at least one out relatively early on in 2021 :)
Any ideas on adding a "streamer mode" like many other games have. (Disabling nicknames, chat, pfps and other identifying info)?
yeah, right now the workload is pretty much all focused on the armory for the UI side of things. a streamer mode would be nice going forwards though
adding to this, people getting kills from your ballista should get you assists. and if you're the owner of the ballista, only you can kick people away.
pretty sure you already do
If teammates can no longer dismount other teammates from vehicles will engis be able to dismount players from the ballista they’ve built so they don’t get locked out while resupplying or tending to other structures?
Right now, no but that's something we're going to add. This isn't a perfect solution but it's better than getting slapped off your own equipment constantly.
have you all thought about having any extremely expensive items in-game for players who have held on to hundreds of thousands (or more) of coins?
I'm not one of these people, but I could imagine something like a true gold base armor tint, or some insane armor pieces being a cool implementation and a great 'endgame' reward for those who can save enough.
Yeah, it's on the list of things to add. imo a really expensive matching set would be nice - mordhau equivalent of the infinity gauntlet :D
I'm sure it's been mentioned a million times at this point but ballistas need some serious attention. They're either entirely useless for their team, only used against their own team, or in some cases they're practically invincible.
I just played a Mountain Peak level where red ballista went 41/0/0. They were able to shoot INTO BLUES STARTING SPAWN.
Nobody could touch them, because that area is inaccessible to blue. The only way to get close enough for a fire bomb is by running up a ramp, directly in the ballista's line of fire. Who thought that was a good idea??? There should not be a spot where someone can rack up dozens of kills uncontested without any danger of being attacked.
Also please fix horses, they can still stagger you out of your parry and immediately kill you. An experienced horse rider can use this to get free kills, even against someone who sees the attack coming.
We're aware. Working on it. 👍
day #646 of waiting for folders
life is pain
folders are coming. soon™
Usa east servers have been totally borked lately with high ping spikes and huge amounts of packet loss. It doesn't happen all the time but it's happening enough to be really frustrating.
Yeah, they're DDOS attacks most likely. We're working on it. <3
Hey all!
You know the drill. Let us know your thoughts, feedback suggestions critiques, or any questions you might have. Please keep things civil and constructive :) Also, lots of meeting notes!
BIG DEVELOPMENT NOTES:
okay this is top tier gaming
sometimes you gotta eat the weak 🤷♀️
some big chaotic neutral energy right here
Read moreIn order of how much I care:
When the game was being kickstarted, there was scuttlebutt about a crusade game mode. Even if the gamemode is never released in full, I think it'd be great if we got some middle-eastern weapons, specifically scimitars. If this does go through, I would want it released as a DLC- I don't know how your budget is, but you could probably use a second cash injection, and a lot of the people playing today are long-haulers who would be more than happy to pay for more content.
Also, if you do end up adding scimitars, or the sabre I heard rumours of, it would be nice if curved swords had some distinguishing feature to make them cooler. Something like the slowdown mechanic on blunt weapons or the added structure damage of axes- something to make them stand out. Maybe they have a second swing pattern based on the bent edge of the blade or something. Also, it would spice up the Falx a lot of it got to be the sleeper flagship of a new weapon class.
...
A crusader DLC is prooobably off the table. IF we're going to release a themed update, we'll do it for free. Doing anything else would be a disservice to the players, as then you'd have core content locked behind a paywall.
I think we could do MTX or paid cosmetics in a way that's non-intrusive and doesn't piss everyone off, but weapons and maps, etc. should be free for everyone. You already bought the game!
Is the team working on implementing female characters and voices or is that something planned for much later if at all?
Soon™
Please do something about teamates destroying their freindly engineers hard work. Its bad enough that they dont make much gold, but then having to contend with some sweat lord fused to their gaming chair stealing their ballista and getting mad when you kick them off or demand it back, just my two cents.
We're looking into some improvements to engineer gameplay - not focused on the gameplay per se, but how it integrates into teamplay and not getting griefed by random teammates :)
