Quality of Life should be more than low priority.
It influences us players every day and every hour. The QoL has a huge impact on whether we like or dislike the game in the end.
Positive example:
Dropping shield when blocking and press G. Great addition, makes me happy. When I launch Warband I insantly miss it.
Negativ example:
Slow camera snap back. I hate it every day. When I launch Warband I feel happy to use it, and very sad that BL is missing that feature.
Here is my checklist.
Those things must be addressed asap in my opinion!

Here is my checklist.
| Problem | Description | Possible Fix |
| Always show names | Show names is a crucial mechanic in Skirmishes. Us players have to always hold a key for that. | Menu option: Always show names Menu slider: Size of Names Menu option: Colour of names, Colour of border |
| Instant camera snap back | The camera snaps back to slow. It causes motion sickness and makes the function not enjoyable and almost useless. | Menu option: Enable instant camera snap back (like warband) or Menu slider: Snap back duration 0-1 sec |
| Hold G to drop items | Opening the drop menu takes too long to open. It is also not easy to understand. | Hold duration needed: 0.1s or Menu slider: Hold duration 0-1s Add a colourcode for the items. Example: Shields green, Throwing red, Swords blue ... |
| Inventory management | The Player has no way to keep track which weapons are in which slot. Weapon switches with keys is very unintuitive. | Menu option: Display weapons at bottom right (like CSGO) |
| Friendlist confusing | Once your friendlist constist of 50+ players its really hard to find someone. | Sort friendlist by alphabet and add Search function |
| Killfeed confusing | Its near impossible to get any helpfull information from killfeed mostly because of confusing colours bad structure and short appearance. On large servers you cannot even see your own messages. | Intuitive colourcode (like warband) Kills from team:green Kills from player: dark green Kills from enemy: red Deaths: dark red Teamkills: black Table structure (like warband) can display more kills with same required space. |
| Score System | The Score system is already better than just sorting by kills but sadly mostly rewards lasthits. | Score = 100×(damage dealt÷target total hp)×(target troop cost÷100) additionally score for damaging mounted horses Score = 100×(damage dealt÷horse total hp)×(0.5×target troop cost÷100) Score for taking flag: 25 local score distributed |
| Chambers | Chambers dont really work with physical collision | Like warband, "only" directional and timing |
| Map names | Map names are displayed in numbers in match creation | Display map names |
| Perks selection | Perks must be adjusted at the beginning of all games | Players can save their preferred perks in the armory |
| Accidental peasant spawn | When you dont have gold to spawn the same troop again the game switches to peasant in the spawn menu. | Next cheaper troop of same class should be selected. Only if not possible switch to peasant. |
| Accidental arrow pick ups | Inf will pick up arrows on accident quite often. | No very simple solution because archers still need it. Menu option: Only pickup arrows when having a bow in the inventory. |
| Very often occuring, annoying bugs that have been reported 1 year ago | -Cannot release bow/throwables -Cannot release swing after getting kickslashed -Cannot release swing after successfully stabbing enemy -Throwables despawn when dropped on dirt | fix |
| Stairs slow down | When entering small wooden stairs while fighting slows you down too much. Therefore it is crucial to always jump over them. | Stairs dont slow down this much. |
| Flag pole camera problem | The Camera system is not perfect. The Camera always jumps when the back is turned towards the flag pole making it very annoying to defend. | The flag pole itself should not exist or have no hitbox or be lifted in the sky or something else. But the most intense fight situation at the end of a round should not always end up with camera fiesta. |
| Console opening | The console should not have a key combination that is needed for gameplay and not rebindable at the same time. | Keybind option: Open console |
| Server crashes | Server crash too often | Don't underestimate how server crashes can influence the playerbase. |
Those things must be addressed asap in my opinion!
