New DTV Is Shit

[gallonigher]

My issues with the "improved" DTV are the invisible borders and the fact there are too many new and uninspiring maps that lopsidedly cater to one class and strategy (shielders+shieldwall).   

Basically, all you've left for us to do now is stand in front of the viscount until the inevitable steamroll of bots comes down the skinny-ass corridor.  How are these changes supposed to encourage any measure of intricate teamwork or resourcefulness when you've dumbed-down the gametype to its basest element?   

If people are complaining about exploiters/farmers, by all means, nerf the exp gain. But you don't necessarily have to kill the fun too.

i kind of felt the same way at first, but doing well on DTV now requires teamwork and gets more people involved. we are starting to get maps with multiple bot spawns which gets rid of the two way corridor issue and there are some spots for archers to use again on rooftops, that are also accessible by the bots

[Elio]

All we need is a couple of open maps, like the old ones, distributed along the rotation, because I feel asphyxiated after a while in these new maps. I'm not saying they're not good - they are - but I miss the possibilities open maps used to give.

This,

And you devs think by not allowing open map to prevent from leeching? These news maps are too small to fight together in front, they do a shield wall with 2, 3 fighters and mostly the half team can't play or can leech in peace, so..

A part of fun is dead in DTV. You killed heroes.

i figured people will get used to the placement of the invisible walls.

Why you bother placing those visible houses and ladders? we will get used to placement of any invisible thing anyway...

because too much qq?

DTV should have a level cap of 30. Nothing pains me more than seeing NA DTV full and NA Siege empty, then going into DTV and seeing all the siege heroes.

Killing bots should be for making the peasant grind less painful, not a serious game mode for experienced players.

Well, the fact DTV is less annoying than Siege or Battle, this is what I think for EU servers..

You get more fun, more balancing, and a good team cohesion with all class. This is clearly not the case in others servers.

Depending on your class, you are only doing ONE thing in DTV:
-Standing in one place holding right mouse button (shield wall)
-Standing in one place spamming overheads (2h/pole)
-Standing in one place mindlessly shooting projectiles into a crowd of enemies

If you think this is more "fun" than fighting skilled players to the death, you might be better off playing:

Before they made tiny maps :
- Rushing mostly alone like Rambo and do a hero job

So yes, maybe you will call it backpedaling, but just try once, at peasant for a beginning and make your opinion about 'easy mod'.


But to be honest, this what DTV look like now..

That's why I started an alt archer, and also play more on Battle/Siege since they half killed DTV.

Friendship is magic, and I do play that everyday in Siege; I have a horse now and promptly named her Rainbowdash.

DTV may be shit now, even bigger than before, but I won't stop playing it, maybe I won't play nearly as much as I did previously, but I won't leave it just because some half-assed moderator decided to make amazing changes and turn the "flawed" gamemode into a "working" one.
And while YES WE do appreciate the attention from the devs, and some cool (new and old) maps, for fucks sake first give us the changes-free maps, without the invisible walls, AND THEN start adding the restrictions, not the other way around.

Never before have I seen someone have so much trouble spelling the word "fun."
