Got lucky enough that we found the right group of people to play and with decent teamwork plus luck(from getting kicked), we finally made it far to the end.. The 2nd to last round, you fight knights wearing milanese plate using morningstars or bec... And on last round, you add all the bosses from each round... After you beat it, it just resets back to peasants all over again...
And here is the proof ladies and gents... I used steam's screenshot feature, so there is a 1sec delay from taking the screenie...

Wow, I wish I had stayed for longer than I did :\. How many rounds is that?
-
Damn, I should have stayed in
Ashraa will ride again!

No we didn't we wiped (just now) on the Sexies the second time through. We had too many extra players joining.

Well not having too many players got us all killed on the 2nd run, its that someone killed the last engineer and the sexies spawned on top of perceval killing one of our killing machine :mrgreen:

Unfortunately, there's often at least 15 people on DTV in the common time, 4 of thoses being peasants.
You were quite lucky to be only 5, and having good teamwork.
I see you don't have range though, so rounds with range such as nomads, rohirric and vitez may have taken quite a long time.
Anyway, well played, and thanks for the screens.

The ranged weapons are disabled for the time being, hence the disappearance of <Edit>Player</Edit> archers and xbows.
And great teamwork it was!

y u hatin'

Awesome work, guys! Don't mind the haters, they don't know how difficult it is to fight against bots that chamber all the time and have insane amounts of hp!
-
Wish I was there for that, I was playing with some of those guys for a while and we were doing very well.

I don't understand how being mean, is cool.

Don't knock it until you pull the same thing in DTV. Anyone can beat a bot, not many can beat a legion of them with stupid high numbers and with no range or cav. The bots can and will even chamber block, some have shield breakers, some waves are nothing but knockdowN crushthrough spammers.

Fail. even average team could kill all non-ranged bots.
-
Would be more impressed if you had 10 more players who weren't level >25 :P.
-
How did I leave right before this?
-
Is chadz wearing is invu-robe? :wink:
Thought it's not that great since bots doesn't know how to block up... :mrgreen:

I dont really care about beating stupid unthinking lines of code, if I wanted to do that I'd be playing a poorly made PvE MMO. Whoop-de doo, you beat a bunch of bots that are that are so incredibly stupid the devs have to compensate by giving them outrageous speed/hp/armor/etc because they're too dumb to think.
DTV is poorly designed and it shows. I've played better games on Commodore 64

Uhh, no, ranged is disable for the players on that server, not the bots. Getting 1-shotted by an xbow sniper was a very real threat in the late rounds. Our run could have been ruined at any moment vs an xbow sniping bot. I had at least one such close call vs a "Sexy" bot as we were cleaning up some remnants:
We were trying to round up the remnants of the wave and I knew she was somewhere out back, I just had no idea where. I completely lucked out when she missed from only a few feet behind me, up the steps as I looked down the hill. I can't remember which wave of the Sexy round it was, but anything other than Wave 3 and my death would have screwed over everyone else.
And beyond that, we were constantly having to pull the final bot, an xbow sniper, from way far away back to our base so that we could finish him off close to where we wanted to be. (So we wouldn't get swarmed upon the next wave spawning)
-
Congrats!
Also, Marked One was clearly team MVP with those 4 ballin' kills :)
I kid, I keeed.

tbh digglez is right about the first part, but i can't agree that it isnt fun.
i guess it is designed for 10 more players under lvl 25. still, it will always be abusable in some ways (imo camping the ruins like we did is "abusing the bots") and thats why dtv shouldn't have gold/xp ticks . but then that would be the end of it :(
or maybe its meant for new players to catch up? now that i think of it, i wouldn`t be suprised at all. perhaps it needs some kind of autobalance.. spawn a few extra bots per wave for every player gen! :D
-
Great job marked one! You're a celeb now :wink:
-
Perceval, the closest thing to 'abusing the bots' about the strategy we used is the knowledge that they tend to take one pathway if we stand in the correct positions. It isn't failproof, as bots still wander in on occasion, and snipers can always hit us. Their aim is rather uncanny, actually. I felt like we got very lucky that run to not any lose players to errant headshots.

what i was thinking is that getting to x5 is not a big deal and compared to battle its ridiculously easy. i should have mentionned that...

OK, then that's more of an exp/gold payout issue more than anything. Others have suggested payouts be after each wave, which I think is more reasonable than the timer which is very abusable. We never intentionally milked the clock, we were simply try to survive.

If you havent figured it out by now, digglez is trolling you. Or.. he's really upset about something ... dunno, kids are getting angrier these days.

Kids? I was playing multiplayer games over a modem before you were crappin in diapers son. Some of us like real thinking human opponents not pathetic AI.
-
then inspect your cheerios for people pissing in it before coming to the forums... And I like how you call someone "son" that you know nothing about. Anyway, I refuse to take the troll bait and feed you further, so enjoy the thread.
P.S. Attempting to cite age as a defense on a site with numerous references to old gaming systems while simultaneously flaming people on forums for a computer game is kinda not helping your case.
You act like a kid, so thats how you shall be treated.
And a side note, before you try and bash people for doing what you think is incredibly easy and mind numbingly simple, attempt it yourself. You might be surprised at the difficulty of "dumb bots".
-
Congrats.
This is so tough, leechers and peasants really make it impossible to get much farther than Vitez.
Quick question, what's the order of the waves? So far I'm guessing:
Peasants
Bandits
Nomads
Weaboos
Sea Raiders
Rohirric Riders
Vitez
Engineers
Sexies
chadz & friends?

There's a Wave(s) called Tincans, maybe it was the final group. All I remember clearly is in the final group, Wave 3 was actually an assortment of all enemies, that's how we knew it was the end... that and killing chadz :P

You misunderstood me, I meant by not having ranged players at all, while there are still bots sniping us down.
Edit: Duke already clarified this misunderstanding. And now the ranged weapons are up for action again!

It's not so hard really, the less peoples you have playing, the easier dtv becomes. 6 good players is the perfect dtv team i think.
A 6 Legios squad with 2 shielders 1 really good archer and all the others long weapons swingers got to the third tincan wave (the last wave). Unfortunatly the lure to the nest thing(getting a shielder to lure them to your hiding spot so the next wave doesn't rape you in the open) doesn't work with tincans because they have shield crushing morningstars, so they killed our shielders and then we were screwed. :cry:.
We used the tunnel at spawn btw, with few ppl i think is better then ruins if you got some shielders to block.
