War typically modifications, as slapstick peasant-bothering stabfest Mordhau proves. Developers Triternion have introduced particulars about what gamers can count on within the close to way forward for the (largely) melee preventing simulator, together with ranked play, new maps, and a discount within the undeserved powers of horse-riding cowards. The much-requested mod help remains to be solely a perhaps.
Speaking on the game’s official forum, neighborhood supervisor “Jax” revealed that ranked modes are excessive on the checklist, which was in all probability inevitable contemplating the huge gulf in ability between, say, me, and, for instance, everybody else. A brand new game mode dubbed “Invasion” is an assault/defend contest aiming to convey extra of a siege-y really feel and make extra use of barricades and catapults.
This ought to tie in properly with the brand new maps – Castello is a faintly Mediterranean-style space with “a more involved castle section”, whereas Feitoria is a busy city and village promising a wide range of open and hemmed in areas and interiors, for all of your churl-slaying wants. Using magic, I’ve adorned this very submit with pictures of the brand new warzones.
They’ve additionally promised to “look into” mod help and instruments “in the future,” though in the meanwhile the main focus is on increasing and tinkering with the core game.
I’ve been dabbling in Mordhau myself not too long ago, and one among its frustrations is the dearth of simple choices when somebody is being a glaive within the glutes. Triternion say they’re conscious of this:
“One area of focus is on preventing griefing and vote-kick abuse; we’re interested in adding more information to vote selection screen, such as the player in question’s team kill amount and team damage ratio, as well as a reason for the kick. We’d like to add an easier user interface for starting vote kicks … We plan on adding a filter that will automatically remove inappropriate or offensive messages before you have to see them, which will help to curb toxicity quite a bit.”
This all sounds welcome, however a very powerful information is that knocking a wuss off his horse and clubbing him to dying will develop into much more joyous – “we’re looking into ways to make horses fairer to fight against, adding more risk to the horse riders while keeping them deadly and powerful. These potential changes include things like momentum damage against the rider, a smaller and more accurate horse flinch hitbox”. Good. Knock them off, my buddies. Knock them down and take their idiot horses whereas laughing.
