If the game was dead, TBS would not be paying for about 140 official servers. I can see more than 30 of them just in EU being used at the moment. The game is only dead for people who have been permanently banned.
FYI, Mordhau will also have rules about teamkilling on purpose and use of racist language so it won’t be a haven for people who were banned from Chivalry.
Map: TO Belmez - final king vs king stage
If the first player on Agatha (attack) presses Page Up to pass on the kingship, the second player immediately dies when spawning in as Feydrid. I’m not sure how often it happens or what else is required to trigger it, but I’ve seen it multiple times. Here are two examples:
Map: TO Belmez - 3rd stage
When attack must burn the granary and push the cart, archers can get onto the roof and they are impossible to attack by melee players.
Also, there is no forced respawn when the flags are planted on the wall so defending archers often stay on the wall and fire down into the attacker’s spawn and they can’t be reached.
Map: TO - Citadel - first stage
The ballistae often become bugged and as an attacker you can’t fire at the palisade because they twist in strange directions.
Also on Citadel, you still have the mass crash bug where about half the players on the server suddenly get a cmw.exe crash. It’s been happening less than in the distant past, but I still see it.
Map: TO Hideout - first stage
Next to the steps outside the attacker’s spawn you sometimes find archers hiding in the rock:
Map: TO Shore - last stage
There is a big rock structure in the middle of the path down with an ammo box at the bottom. Archers always find a way to climb up out of reach. I don’t have a vid of the path up or better info right now.
Map: TO Belmez - first stage
It’s not a big issue, but players can climb up onto the middle pyre (B) in the first stage of the map.
We have decided to give you another chance so please remember the rules because people don’t get a second chance after a successful appeal if they start breaking the rules again. The mute might take a couple of days to be removed.

@generaldeejee said in Ban Appeals:
@valind Terrible customer service to just delete my reply, your team hasn’t looked into my ban but just took the word of a player moderator to issue me a global ban. I’m very disappointed in this company.
You were watched and recorded by more than one admin over a long period of time and the evidence is incontrovertible. We know what cheats you were using and anyone who behaves like this will receive a game and/or VAC ban.
Harassment and racism are clearly against the rules on official servers no matter how old the game is so we will be looking into this. Thanks for your report.
OK, for 2019 you can have a second chance. Please remember that we will know it’s you if you try using alt accounts to play on the low level servers again so stay away from them. We are checking them even more often now. (It will take a few days for account to be removed from the ban list.)

@AndersonGarcia You can add a game from the Epic store as a non-Steam game and still use the overlay, etc, so you’re not cutting yourself off. When the game launches on Steam after 12 months, cross-play will also be enabled so it won’t matter if you’re on Steam or Epic once you’re in game.
Please remember that TBS has to finance their game development for at least 3 years before they receive any money from sales if they only launched on Steam. Epic helps the devs by giving some of the money upfront but Valve isn’t willing to do that for small dev teams. A small team working from home or a huge company with multiple games might be OK, but TBS is only large enough to make one game at a time, but still has a studio and almost 30 employees to pay for. Valve makes so much profit, they could offer a similar deal if they cared to match Epic.
Final point, even if you buy certain games on Steam, like the Far Cry series, you still have to use the uPlay launcher anyway - except now you also have to link it to Steam which is even more steps and complications. Epic is just another launcher like battle .net, Origin, uPlay, GOG, etc
