For those whom haven't tried!

Defend the Village! Try this mode please, I tried it for the first time, and it was hilarious! Even if your ping is 200 , you can still do fine (I had high ping, since there was no NA version). Notice not many player (like I) have tried it out. This mode definately deserves more credit.

No one plays anymore ever since they nerfed the experience.

Yeah, it's fun but you need at least some minimum gear to play it and be active therefore you will loose money, even in "x5", or barely earn anything. Going peasant mode in battle or siege is better for farming gold.

And i thought that everyone played it for the fun. :p
Anyway, for me it is quite boring. Ok, you need teamwork and tactics, that is true. But i can do the same in every common mmorpg and there i have better game mechanics.

I played it for about 3 hours again last week and lost around 40k gold. Its the same gear I use with minimum loss in battle.

Yah, after playing for a while I had the same experience. The mode is very fun, but the teams didn't ever get past x2, and the repair bills were keeping my cashflow stagnate. I'm thinking it would be a good idea that players recieve bonus cash upon killing an npc, what do you guys think?

bad idea. as a strength 2h i get hundreds of kills, but we only win if their are good shielders with high shield skill that hold the lines so the likes of me can overhead the waves.

and even with x5 I'm loosing money if I use good equipment.

If someone would arrange a 10-men lvl 25+ team on EU server in the evening time - i would gladly join! Have a good 2h or a shielder with lvl 3 shields. I am sure that a coordinated group can make to round 5-6 with no problems.

We don't need top gear - cheap high damage weapons, best shields, good helmets, medium armor, and no boots Archers don't need any armor. Shielders can drop armor too, or keep the very basic one

We will make some gold, or decent XP at very least.

It was fun, but it's significantly less fun now that no one plays and the reward isn't worth it.  I used to have a lot of fun on the EU DTV server back when you could often find 10 or 15 people there. I never thought there was a serious balance issue with DTV but if there is it shouldn't be fixed by nerfing the exp.  Surely changing the enemies or making more challenging maps would be a more entertaining solution.  The way it is now the DTV mode might as well not even exist, which is a shame.
