Title: How do players of DTV feel about its current state?
Post by: BrosInArmz_Darkmane on March 22, 2013, 10:28:04 pm
Every month or two, I look for a new game to buy. When I do buy one, I get bored of it within a few days/weeks and come back to DTV.

 :idea: It's clear to me now that it makes more sense to spend my money on improving DTV than buying other games.

 :?: I'd like to know if you folks feel the same way, and so have created this poll.


I know the developers have other things on their mind right now. But I'm impatient :!:

DTV is available now and any improvements made to it would come much sooner.

I look forward to your responses.  :D

I feel like the AI could be improved, but doing so may remove what some people (including myself) enjoy:  strategically mowing down brainless hordes of enemies.

Overall "good as-is."

wats lacking is a decent AI mesh in these maps. all it would take is a skilled AI mesher to fix the brainless movments of the bots. but then i suppose people would whine about how they cant abuze by having them all stack up by a house for easy headshots

I think they should bring defend the VILLAGE back.

AI mesh would improve it, but players would still be able to easily headshot them on a roof. They will still clump up at the base of the building with a good AI mesh. What you need is barriers to keep players from doing this.

But this would take out the fun from DTV, and it would be much harder!

If you like DTV then try out this mod called NordInvasion. Its a mod focused on killing waves of bots online. Lively community and devs, and much more refined than DTV.  http://www.nordinvasion.com/

I suggest learning to play and going to battle server. Thousands of hours of fun waiting just behind the corner, for free!1!!!1!!! (Assuming you've already bought M&B;Warband.

What Lennu said  :lol:

Why play against bots when you can play against people  :?:

That would fix gettin bored of just stacking braindead AI´s for slaughtering

I would suggest only one thing. Add a multiplayer for each time tincans are beaten. People need a reason to beat them. So far they dont in most cases cus its more rewarding to lose to them than win.

I heard " go in battle server" but Pve is really different of PVP .. Every guys which play DTV are not necessarily interested by PVP or by battle. And don't think that because a guy spend most of his M&B time in DTV he s not able to play in PVP and be efficient. It s a choice and you can improve your skills quickly in DTV too

Some guys want to only play teamwork against Pve  quietly and nothing else.

SO i think more waves should be nice it s the obvious add we could have. But why not too a different gameplay. Invert role and attack the Virgin :-p and as i already heard defend a castle against harder waves of ennemies

All you people suggesting different gamemode as a fix for us - fuck you  :wink: EU 1 & 2 players aren't much better than bots anyway

Of course DTV isn't serious gamemode, its not about skill, its about having fun, moving down hordes of brainless enemies, stuff like that. Its relaxing, funny.

It won't be improved, devs already stated that they won't spend any more time on it iirc, but if we could dream:

As said before, DTV is played by people that want to relax or experience something else than QQing people about nerfs, buffs et cetera. One bad thing is that eu_7 doesn't work so one of our ways to relax in this game is greatly limited. Our only hope is the HRE DTV server, which is good but full almost all of the time. Also, the waves are quite repetitive. I'm not saying that I'm unhappy with the DTV as it is now but the devs could do something with this gamemode, because it has a great potential.  :)

would be great if HRE stays at DTVirgin and EU7 will be DTVillage again for alternation.

Village was great for practising Shieldwalls and more teamplay was required. I rly miss it  :cry:


oh i almost forgot... give the bloody V a Knife to get rid of a sneaky lonely peasant  :P

*cough* add a wave of Heskeys *cough*

Edit: For all Kapikulu, who will read. For sure i am just joking  :rolleyes:

I'd like to see randomly picked types of enemies for each tier to add more variety. Like bandit round being picked among forest/mountain/steppe bandits etc.

Also, an alternative DTV captain mode would be nice, where you can buy and command troops like in WFaS and maybe even be able to equip them with your own stuff.

Face-hugging thrower aimbots aren't very fun.  Just saying.

I am aware that cRPG isn't a priority for the devs.

My hope is that if enough people are willing to donate, they will change their mind!
