what happened to this game?

[᠌ ᠌ ᠌ ᠌]

havent played it in years but thought it would be fun to return to, is it even worth it at this point?

Not really. Admin/moderator abuse is at an all-time high, not just banning !@#$posters (95% of the once-active community), but also banning/muting for small offenses.

The flow of new players is non-existent, and the developers keep trying to force the game mode "demon horde" down players throats in every update (which absolutely nobody asks for)

The NA/EU servers are now lacking in players during peak hours, though duel servers are still semi-active. I have heard that the oceanic/SA servers are now ghost towns.

New content is lacking, no new maps etc.

The developers/moderators scared off their once loyal fan base via demon horde/over-moderation of chat + gameplay. They are trying to attract a different fan base which will never play the game to begin with.

Summary:
Devs don't produce quality, nor quantity anymore. Moderators have turned servers into WEENIE HUT JUNIORS. The loyal fan base has been alienated, banned, muted, or stopped playing, and new players don't care to keep playing as a result of older players being unhappy with the state of the game. Devs, congrats on nuking your game and not standing up to your mods, and not listening to loyal players.

Recently some Oceania players were banned for reasons I couldn't care less about. I can't play a game I paid for because some moderator banned the regulars with hundreds and thousands of hours, all because they were too naughty. I'm locked out of a paid game not because it died naturally, but because the moderator in question banned players. I was playing this game for hours every night, with a packed server 6 months ago, and now there's literally no players active enough to play invasion at all. I even came out of my shell and added tonnes of the regulars to see when players are on... and they're almost never on. Like 7 people or 30 min LOL

Thanks Oceania mods for screwing the server population up!

Those bans were issued by international moderators as well as decided by the community manager. It was not a decision made by Oceania mods, or even necessarily involving Oceania mods.

The rules apply to everyone from all countries, regardless of whether that country thinks this behaviour is acceptable or not.

[🇰🇵Burner🇰🇵]

I am fairly sure that some of the oceanic moderators are culpable, how could an international moderator or community manager take action otherwise? Is the dibber-dobber suddenly excused because the actual authority makes the decision?

Regardless, I share the same sentiment in that moderation is utterly overbearing, and the developers do not care to solve that problem, or any problem for that matter.

I still take the time to play on Lemon's Duels, but half of the game is now effectively missing. Two thirds if you are willing to count horde mode.

You admit the reason the game is dead in my region is due to moderation.
No one cares WHO did it. It's the fact that we now can't play at all, and you're hiding behind the excuse of rules. You didn't just punish those you deem naughty, you punished the rest of us by making the server pop ZERO and now we can't play for a game we paid for. I didn't do anything. We didn't do anything. Yet we can't play now.

As a player who just plays and hasn't gotten banned in recent years, hundreds of hours of gameplay in the last year and half... Triternion messed it up by nuking players.

It was NOT not the naughty players ruining it in the end.

Unfortunately for me, an Invasion player, Lemons Duels isn't accessible. I have ZERO fun playing duels. So sadly, the moderators have shut down the only mode I paid for and play for.

You're projecting the blame onto the wrong people. You should be blaming those who blatantly and consistently broke the official server rules in your region. There is no situation where we're going to just tolerate that sort of behaviour.

You would be playing Invasion if those players weren't racist ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Majority of our actions are taken in response to player reports, which arrive through a ticketing system where all moderators from all regions, and the developers, can review the evidence and apply an appropriate punishment.

If that's the case, screw the official rules Drunk Dwarf. I couldn't care less if someone else broke them. It's just your excuse to robotically speak about rules that players self moderate.

I'm an adult. I can deal with some naughty words. If it bothered me that much I'd turn the chat off. That's what a mature game is for... As it stands I now can't play the game at all, because you guys banned people, and the remaining few largely left with them. If you didn't over moderate other players, implying the rest of us are fragile babies who's feelings will get hurt, players would still be there.

Games been out how many years? Players have thousands of hours and you perma ban them for something that can easily be turned off or muted by other players, (chat.)

This is truly robotic on your part. It seems that your guys focus has always been misplaced. Triternion has often made silly decisions with this game, from releasing silly maps that need reworks to weapon changes that don't matter, nerfing the catapult and introducing glitches so bad you fall through the map, making horde maps even though the last set of horde maps were heavily criticised and then barely played... Makes you wonder why. Most of these criticisms and issues could be resolved by community votes too. Thes devs eyes and ears are painted on it seems.

Banning players over being cheeky is just too stupid when some regions only have 60-100 players.

It's really sad for this to be the focus when the game is in its last stages of being a thing. Triternions legacy is emptying the servers early and adding Horde maps that barely anyone plays or wanted. It's a monumental waste of effort to just nose dive Mord into an early grave.

I'm done speaking to you. You're just another forum robot that rattles off the same garbage every day. What's funny is I used to really like you and see you doing great comments here. But now it's glaringly obvious that you're another rule obsessed copy paster. Oceania pop gone thanks to overbearing feelings hurt patrol. Classic. Try not to have a swearing fit any time soon.

I don't care what the rules are, at all. I only want you lot to ban people that are obviously hacking the game, that is your job to me, otherwise just play the game.

Unban every account for every infraction other than cheating, this is the only redemption.

People are always going to spit vitriol on the internet, blaming them is not the solution. Pushing them out of your community is not a solution, these people need somewhere to be.
It is objectively wrong and morally questionable to eject people, even if they are 'racist ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥'. All this does is promote isolationist echo chambers that only serves to fortify their beliefs (and yours). Drive people apart, make them even more jaded.. What a great idea.

This behaviour is hypocritical and is no better than the evil community of racists and swearword mutterers that you disparage.

"There is no situation where we're going to just tolerate that sort of behaviour."
Funny how I manage to do this, Hell I even get along with some of these terribly evil racist people that are literally hitler or whatever you call them.

Can I suggest you lot either have a teaspoon of cement and harden the ♥♥♥♥ up or stop using the internet if it upsets you that much?

If demon mode was its own game with its own lore, and more in depth mechanics, it would make for a BALLER dark fantasy horde game that could directly compete with vermintide. And if thats what the devs want to do, then ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ go for it, im all FOR that ♥♥♥♥! I want first person darkest dungeon!

Instead, its just kinda clumsily forced into a game that has nothing to do with demons, or hordes, or dark fantasy.

As for the multiplayer itself, i still kinda play it here and there just because i love its customization and the goofy moments, but all i want is for shields to be held block again and for arrows to not be blockable without one. As it currently is, the only REAL way to contribute to the team is to be a two hand user (and im too dumb to keep up with all the swing manipulation and the timing based parry system. I tried for around 200 hours to get a feel for it and i just accepted that it would take too much effort for me to learn), or an engineer, and we can thank crush for that.

That's what has me frustrated too - Triternions attitude about it. Doing their own thing without thinking of the players. If they made a Horde medieval fantasy I'd buy it... but why at the end of Mords life are they changing the main game and adding in a very minor gameplay mode over giving us maps for the main modes - Invasion. It's lame, lazy, and low effort. Their Mord anniversary was PATHETIC.

I also agree with you about changes they've made over the years. I used to main catapult and get some really good plays whilst defending objectives. I stopped Camp wagon as it moved, getting us many wins. I sniped the 3 nobles on Faetoria in the old 2nd phase a fair few times, and in general got really good kills quite often. Then they kept nerfing the catapult to the point it now can't shoot over a tree... it's pathetic that their response to something is to wreck it so players avoid it. Bad development. You know what's worse? They made it from good to control to can't be turned with out extreme glitchiness, and often falls through the map. This is an example of them making an item in their game progressively worse, not just in usage/stats, but introducing and then never fixing glitches.

These developers focus on the wrong things, do not listen to the main players, they do whatever they want. Is it REALLY that hard to have player votes on what to focus on? No, it's not. They're obnoxious and deaf to players. Look at all the comments here, on other forum posts, in their news posts. You can clearly see how many people were annoyed that they focused on Horde garbage not once but twice this year... this game is empty, not just because they've banned a few players, but also because it's the most boring game ever now. No new content. No new maps. No new weapons. No new gear. No new mounts. machines. No new fun. But they were more than happy to add a stupid paid DLC pack though.

I have over 500 hours on Mord, and I've refused to buy a single DLC since returning a year ago due to them not showing me why I should give them extra money. So far they've added almost nothing of substance to want to support them with extra $.

I love Mord, but it's had it's flaws like this, and tbh seeing the devs stomp around doing whatever they want without regard to players... not in a rush to buy any of their future games. It's player disrespect.

P.S isn't it interesting how so many players here disagree with mods like Drunk Dwarf and support my comments. I'm not even an edgy player either, I'm just a nerdy guy trying to play a game I paid for. It's very open that people want to play Mord, CAN'T, that the new Horde mode is bad/wasted dev resources, and over-moderation has killed the game early. Devs focusing on the wrong things!

You like my ex wife, see only minor flaws, missing the whole positive foundation.

Lets recall some improvements
- LS buff to keep with Messer
- Flute
- Scate shield
- Spawn Flag
- Killing the Horde mode as a mode, where where weaker players can have the same PvX gameplay.
- Pulling UT4 upgrades, that helps with optimisation
- Voicelines in this game is the masterpiece. And they doubled the inital quantity of voicelines, keeping the incredible quality
- Giving the game for free on Epic dragging the huge amount of fresh meat to entertain old players for free
- It is still a single proper slasher on market. Tho, ngl, with balerinas and pack loss it is pretty same with chiv2

Triternion has a history of not listening to players.

There's not much else to add to this discussion, so I'm going to unsubscribe... Drunk Dwarf admitted Triternion was happy to empty an entire region in pursuit of unnecessarily following rules. That's on them, and I fully blame them for the fact that the game suddenly emptied within the past few months of heavy handed bans.
"Rule breakers" didn't actually ruin my experience playing the game, moderators did though!

Very annoying, pretty funny too though how self centred and deaf to players some dev teams can be. Won't be rushing to buy another Triternion game. They'll prob just patch it several years later to add a random horde mode that nobody cares about.

Yeah, agree about some mods are serial abusers.
But mods != devs, I don't know how they are connected. But even if devs unsubbed from the game, the glaring cases should reach them, hence there is the question why they don't fire these mods.
Like they got their jobs via bed, or they are relatives to devs.

About blaming them for killing the game, I think there are several factors:
- whine of softcore players
- whine against limited parry window mechanics
- and only on the 3rd place the moderator abuse

So their impact was quite low. But now, when whiners are gone and only harcore players left - their impact is huge.
I think it is the time for the great amnesty. It would revive even Australian servers
