You're the best community manager Jax, thanks for the reply!

more map variation is a goal, but we can't really change a ton of map stuff because then we need to rebuild lighting and it's essentially a new map at that point. we're looking into some solutions for separating lighting and the map itself for visual variety, but adding in a ton of new objects isn't always possible

Yeah I knew it was going to be a tough one but it still would be less work than designing a map from scratch I assume, especially considering the amount of work that must have gone in making them. Even if say 10 slight variations (with different artillery or small changes in the buildings) were pre-built and chosen randomly when selecting a specific map it would still reduce repetition to an extent, although having a set of random variables building hundreds of variations would be ideal (but difficult to do).

• Just like the fire arrow pit, it would be nice if the medpack was more than a bag. It's too low to the ground, I wish it was some basket on a stand, at waist level, with bandages and vials. We could interact more easily with it.
• It would also remove the red cross on it, that didn't exist back then.
• The limits of the smoke bomb are unclear. Feels as tough your vision becomes clouded well before you're within range.

You shouldn’t be able to show your comp rank if you are unranked. Smurfs and level 200s use it to conceal their skill level to annoying effect.

1. Turn caps need reviewing, they aren't noted as stats on weapons but they matter. I am fairly sure GS and LS have the best (AKA, most not nerfed) turn caps which is probably why you see everyone and their grandma playing it in duel servers - there is a clear disparagement of what is "meta" and what isn't. LS is too strong imo, it should be a jack of all trades weapon but master of none however it is pretty much GREAT at everything.

2. Large weapon movement speed debuff - this is too much, it either needs to be rolled out to more weapons or removed. It's inconsistent that big boy maul can still be sonic the hedgehog but you're penalised when playing other large weapons. I understand you could argue that all weapons that receive the debuff have large range, however, this is an issue in itself. I've seen people back peddle zwei attacks from close range (remember there was a lunge nerf too) with 1h, counter after the miss and the zwei player cannot move out of rang...

How about an emote where you throw your gotlet on the ground, symbolizing a challenge. Or let me bitch slap my opponent with it.

Just asking again because maybe it was overlooked last time.

Could it be possible to get basic filtering or a small update to the server browser?

I wish I was able to sort by players or ping as well as add servers to favorites so I don't have to look them up each time.

The back of the german sallet moves separately from it's front, I reckon that this wasn't intended. It would be cool if it could be fixed.

Other than that I have two cosmetic related simple suggestions :

• More emblems would be nice.

• Add an unstrapped variant of the burgonet no buffet or allow facial hair to be visible while wearing it.

Thanks for reading.

-1. Very minor stuff, but it would be nice to specify a default mode for the weapons in the loadout, e.g. so I can start with the Messer in one hand mode, or with the spear in short stabby mode. It's very minor but since often the spawn in not isolated from the battle it's good to be ready to go as soon as you appear.

-2. Couching weapon on horse and holding shield should deplete stamina. It makes sense and it balances stuff out.

-3. Big stuff, and just throwing ideas out there: the maps are huge, and they are gorgeous, and they are underutilised. One way to use them more and reduce staleness without extensive level design would be to randomise certain parts of the game. For example:

• Random set of objectives, placed at different parts of the map, whether it's the same objective at random places (save the peasants in Grad) or different objectives altogether (e.g. grad v1 red: destroy the gates, grad v2 red: place explosive next to a wall of the cas...

How's the pipeline work going? Y'know, for faster, frequenter, smaller patches without disrupting the bigger quarterly stuff.

Pings seem to have been significantly affected by the latest patch.

The Bird has triple digit pings where he once had 60, and 90 pings where he once had 20. This is not pleasant.

An alternative proposal to loadout folders:

Loadout folders have long been a frequently requested QoL improvement to loadout organization. The concept of loadout folders would be a particular solution to the problem, but it must be highlighted that it is not the only possible solution. We state the loadout organization problem as follows: The customization system offers so much variety that someone who enjoys it cannot avoid making dozens or hundreds of different loadouts; how does one then categorize, sort, or find a specific entry among one's many loadouts?

To solve this problem, we propose a two-stage approach entirely different to loadout folders. The first stage would be intended as a short-term development goal, simpler in concept and presumably much simpler to implement than loadout folders, and it would already offer a significant QoL improvement over the current situation. The second stage would b...

I'm sure these are already on your radar. These have been said before previously but I think they're worth mentioning again.

An obvious, intuitive practice mode for new players would help them cope with the steep learning curve of jumping into an Invasion against players with hundreds of levels on them. New players are being disheartened (and refunding if claims are to be believed) because they come into FL/INV and have absolutely no fun against veteran players. Horde mode is currently a confusing mess where building a loadout requires intimate map knowledge and teaches little about the game's PvP combat. And the tutorial, while it does teach the very basics, doesn't really help a new player understand the flow of a fight or XvX at all. Lobbing them directly into combat against us is bad for them and player retention if they do end up refunding.

On the opposite end of the spectrum of players, a ranked mode for teams of small numbers...

Also where is 3v3 ranked?!
