Title: I Hate When...
Post by: Miley on June 06, 2012, 09:52:23 am
I was on DTV by myself. I solo'd my way up to Vitez, and a person with ping of 170 or so came in. I asked him not to shoot me, and he dies the first round. He then leaves, and this leaves me with extra enemies to kill. I made it up to the last round of Vitez, and they ended up killing her because there were too many. Then more people came--low level EU and Napkin's ping was spiking. I decided to leave the next round, but I am so disappoint because I could've beaten it. I'm wondering if people would support a level limit on DTV, so that peasants and the such cannot flood the server, be of no use, and be a burden that brings the team down. Here's zhe screenshot :[ My two deaths were a headshot by Shik and one by Varric. AUTOAIMS...

How about having it send out bots based on the level of the players.

Exactly what I was thinking after reading the OP.  Instead of adding "x" amount of attackers for every player that is defending, it should add "x" amount of attackers based on the level of the player.

Did the OP just accuse bots of aimbotting...?

I am totally in accord. This one time I got so tired of the leechers I just started pollbanning everyone that "wasn't pulling their weight". Almost got me banned D:. This was my reasoning:
"Fortunately Siege and Battle have something called "BALANCE", where, in theory, the useless players are shunted off equally between the teams so their mutual incompetence cancels each other out. On DTV it doesnt matter if you are lvl 31 wearing plate or a lvl 1 pitchfork peasant with 300+ ping, the exact same ammount of extra bots will spawn. I don't give a fuck if you ARE a lvl 1 pitchfork peasant, as long as you pull your weight, and team doesn't have to constantly lose at bandit or even peasant wave over and over."

I don't see why this should be bannable, I always get super pissed at people in melee_only who don't take shit besides a knife and just be useless.

I don't know if I support a level minimum but for the other problem of leeching, it sucks. I guess they think they are going to make a bunch of gold except DTV isn't about gold gain so their leech fails and the team fails too. I've already said this many times but DTV should have no upkeep (and no gold gain either or maybe just a very small gold gain). This would eliminate the need people have to leech since there would be no point to anymore. I would also like to see more bot stages and of course greater reward if you beat them all.


What is this DTV
The best gamemode.

Yeah it does suck but outside of having your own private DTV server I think there will always be problems with scrubbies who don't listen coming in

When the rest of your team is mainly bot fodder rambo is the only hope. If I'm on an obviously clueless and or leech team sometimes I gear up and use my best stuff if I really want to win (and lose much gold). Otherwise I just accept that we are going to lose and try to minimize losing too much gold.

Although the bot spawns do depend on the player levels, atm it's still a lot better to have a few high level characters over a lot of peasants.

Furthermore, the problem isn't just the levels but also how DTV seems to attract all the players that barely can play the game.

I agree with Miley a lot of people come in grief then leave or just new people that cant get a kill and just make more enemies if they could make a level restriction that would be great  :D

I had the same thing happen to me during the Engineer round.  Some guy joins, picks up a bit of a train, then dies behind me while I'm stuck in melee.  I was disappointed at first but those engie pricks were probably going to headshot me sooner or later anyway.  The bot's ability to aim at my face through a horde of their own teammates is uncanny.

I don't support a level restriction however; I think it's unfair for my desire to superhero DTV to block others from participating.  There is an issue with obvious leeching but I'm not sure of how to go about solving that.

Also, fuck Mylet.

...frustrated infantry player retire into cavalry and start to bump teammates on purpose, not caring for them at all. Main reason for this is the fact that he was bumped in the past so it's his turn to show everyone who's the "boss". Like when a kid who's been beaten by his father, later in life start beating his own children.

What is this OP you are speaking of?

I try telling these low level, new people, etc. people that DTV is bad exp and gold. One rarely leaves because I say this, but rather a couple get mad at me for saying it. Yet flocks of peasants come to be stuck on the Peasant/Bandit round for eternity...

I don't really care but for gods' sake don't block my swings "helping", breaking my flow and distracting me from lining up my train.
Title: Re: I Hate When...
Post by: Leshma on June 07, 2012, 12:47:28 pm
Yeah, nothing I hate more than passive shielders. Those standing beside you doing nothing but blocking your swings because they are too scared to attack the enemy who's turned his back to them. In those situations I have to block a lot but can't attack because turtle is all over the place and I don't want to hurt him instead...
