Title: Defend the Village - Buggy?
Post by: Narestel on July 07, 2011, 07:14:10 pm: Hi all,

I'd like to know if joining DtV could have the risk of losing the money that I have in my budget (let's say in any situation, like being kicked from the game, get the PC shut for any reason, etc). I think I heard something about it was buggy, so people lost money after they had played DtV... and I would turn mad if I sell a loom point in a future, join DtV and then find that I've lost let's say 100k gold in a moment :D)

BTW, when I played some days ago, I was being kicked from DtV for no reason, sometimes even once or more times before a new match started. Is it due to a bug?

Thanks for your time!

I'm pretty sure it's intended, to avoid leechers.
If you die in the first wave, you'll be kicked when the second one (unless all your teammates also died).
If you die in the second wave, no problem. Third wave, same.

If you join, and it's the first wave, you'll be kicked. (dunno what happens if bots win though)
If you join, and it's the second wave, you'll be kicked. (dunno what happens if bots win though)

So to not get kicked after joining : stay alive the first wave, or die with all your teammates.

And is it true that you may lose your money if you play in DtV (I'm not talking about repairs, of course)?

Not true, the only way to lose your money in DTV is through repairs.

And while the forum is up, I've noticed some real bugs:

At some point, you only defeat one wave to proceed to the next round instead of the normal three waves. If I remember correctly, those were mainly the cavalry rounds, Nomads and Rohirric.

Yeah, that's because a horse was left alive. When a horse is left alive, it skips the next rounds.

Kicking is a bug.

Thought as much.

Last time I tried playing DTV I got kicked 2 or 3 times before I was able to spawn at all.
