Really excited about the bardiche buff today. It's pretty small overall, but the bardiche was always really close to being a good weapon and an extra 15cm of reach might be enough.

The bardiche buff is great, but I'll give the patch a wide berth till the friendly hitstop change is reversed. The sweatlords complain that 1vX is much harder, which is true, but the main issue is that I'm tk-ing at 10x the rate I used to now that I can cleave through everyrone.

Think of it as a buff to the Friendly perk. Not being able to goad unskilled opponents into eating their friend's maul swings for you is gonna suck though.

If you're using a large cleave weapon you should have Friendly in your build no matter what. It's basically an essential now with the hitstop changes.

I personally dislike the changes because it makes 1vX more miserable than it already is, and it has made Friendly even more powerful than it already is. It's basically the best value perk in the game. For 1 point you get massive damage mitigation, plus reduced team damage, plus now you can abuse the reduced team damage to also cleave unsuspecting enemies through your friends. 2/2/1, Friendly, Zweihander is an insane build for frontline right now.

Also on another note i have been working on a custom map, check it out: https://mordhau.mod.io/quarry

Played this last night for the first time in a while with a few friends who are all bad like me. Seems like the game has mellowed out a bit? Last time we played it seemed like every player was a Sword Saint and I just got massacred constantly unless I got a horse or catapult. Like the game was just thick with tryhards.

Was different last night though. Still has a couple God Spinners here and there but just a few. I managed to actually go 1:1 on my KD without use of horse/catapult, which I never would have done before. I don't know if the community has mellowed or if they just balanced some kind of poo poo that nerfed the tryhard play style, but it was nice to be able to just play without being poo poo on all the time despite not being a feint/parry god.

Still random, unprovoked racism in chat sometimes, but eh. What can you do.

Isn't there a built-in slur filter option, as well as the option to disable chat? I personally have no use for the text chat in the first place, it's not like you can really strategize with your team in a game like this. People do what they want to do.

There's really no reason to have text chat anyhow, you aren't missing out on a single thing by disabling it.

Also, one of the worst aspects of this patch was that constructions got buffed so now they're even more obnoxious. Not sure why they decided to do that.

They're just doing poo poo at random without consulting their usual testers, is why. Every once in a while they'll hit (jump kicks do, indeed, rule), but most of the time we get awful stuff like the teammate hitstop removal and constructions becoming even better.

to the history purists that blindly say "well you can't have a black knight because there weren't any black knights," you're forgetting completely that a) history is inherently revisionist, b) race is a social construct and medieval europe was filled with a variety of ethnicities, including north africans, c) it's a loving video game where people dress up like shrek, play pokemon music on the lute, and shoot each other with actually-in-the-loving-game pistols.

so yeah, lets have an inclusive skin tone slider and a male-female option plz

since when? the newest one is like an asymmetric siege mode that's primarily featured on the big new map (Feitoria) but I think at some point they went back and added it to all of the old maps too?

New game mode is called invasion and yea they went back and made invasion variants for all the old frontline maps except for mountain peak.

The invasion maps get mixed into the map pool for all the official frontline servers so you don't have to choose between frontline and invasion like you have to for horde/BR/duel.

Also, if you missed the invasion update, they added a duel game mode a while back if your interested in 1v1 with ranked matchmaking.

There are female playermodels hidden in the game files, i think the devs are/were working on it but it didn't make it to launch. They take ages to do anything so maybe it's just still being worked on.

They aren't doing poo poo

They can't even get basic votekicking, anti-griefing and chat muting and hardly see those as a problem, so why would you think they could/would implement models?

The game's not going to change at this point, so either it's fun for you or it's not.

This, they can't even get autobalance in when chiv had it. Doesn't help that guys scream, "YOU CAN'T AUTOBALANCE A SKILL BASED GAME" whenever you bring it up, because joining a blatant teamstack with 5+ level 200 sweatlords is just the way the game is meant to be played.

Votekick has been in the game forever, it works fine. You could argue that its UI is kind of crap but it still works.

They added some anti-griefing so that players cant dump spikes in their spawn area, it works decently for the most part and if you do get a griefer on your team that finds some other way to piss everyone off you can just votekick them. In my experience griefers are a rarity, more often you just have people running around playing the lute.

Chat muting is also a thing that exists, as well as muting individuals and filtering cusses.

Do you even play this game? You seem wholly ignorant of these features which are quite obvious and easy to enable.

This is the Dawning of the Age of Hilarious
I'd like them to implement a better UI for votekicking, and by that i mean an actual UI for votekicking, like chivalry had, which displays all players' team damage and idle time BEFORE you elected to votekick someone. As it stands it's hard to tell sometimes between and idiot and an rear end in a top hat. Also, the auto-votekicking system could use some improvements. I guess 5 tks is enough in most circumstances to merit automatically kicking someone, but if I'm just on a tear and getting 60+ kills in a match, I don't think 5 idiot teammates running into my axe merits a 30 minute ban. I think if your team damage is below a certain threshold, it shouldn't matter if you happened to be the one who did the last bit of damage to a few teammates because you were unlucky.

Me on a catapult...


Start of match: aww yeah here we go boys! ARTILLERY SUPPORT IS DANGER CLOSE

Two team kills: damnit get outta the way, I'm shootin' here!

Four team kills: ok maybe I should be a little more conservative with these targets.

Six+ team kills: oh god I'm so sorry *only targets vague shapes in distance for rest of match*

It was the lack of autobalance that drove me away. Every game you'd end up with one team getting some momentum, then everyone on the other team starts leaving, and then end was a foregone conclusion. I enjoyed the gameplay, if not the players, but I likely won't ever reinstall the game without some mechanism to balance players per team.
