Upkeep Solution - Hear me out

[Spartan793]

So what if a certain mode....

*Cough* Defend the Virgin *Cough*

Became upkeep free?

This would mean that although the main games, siege and battle, are still balanced and fair with regards to upkeep theres an oppurtunity for people to earn money and XP, and were talking very slowly with Defend the Virgin, while using their favourite equipment.

Who would it harm and what damage would it do? Noone and None as far as I can see

Can anyone see any problems with this idea at all because i'd love to hear them

[Mtemtko]

If upkeep gets removed in DTV all I see is 20 tincans grinding the hell out of the mode, too exploitable imo.

[Spartan793]

What would be the problem with that? The tin can for DTV wouldnt make a differance, the bots arent going to comaplain and im sure most people like getting to tthe laer rounds.

Anyway msot people intent on making real money will stick with the battle/ siege

With no multipliers DTV takes ages to ear some real money

[Seawied]

It would be a problem because tin cans would go full-plate mode in battle/siege until they are nearly broke, then go to the DTV server and grind their fortune back up again.

[Miley]

I support this because you can't really get much gold or exp out of that game mode...

Why is that a problem?  I'm fine with there being a place to make money separate from "real" servers like battle.

It would be a problem because tin cans would go full-plate mode in battle/siege until they are nearly broke, then go to the DTV server and grind their fortune back up again.

If their primary goal is earning money, why would they do that when they could just put on low cost gear and earn money on battle/seige at a significantly faster rate?

hey newbies! Join a CLAN! Serve the Game! Troll LESS. Then you might get REWARDED?!

Your not really going to earn enough in a whole day to support a tin can suit for more than half an hour, it would be a waste of time

This way people can still have fun, eanr a little bit of money and XP so at least it feels rewarding and they can wear whatever the hell they like

[Riddaren]

Removing upkeep in DTV seems fair to me.

[LordRichrich]

I really like this idea I went on DTV and got the grand total of 87 gold for a single round, which is, as close as can be, 2 ticks on x1 in battle/siege. So the amount of gold you earn is pitiful so make it upkeep free

[Chudleague]

I can agree to this. As it is if you wear any type of medium armor and weapon its a huge money sink.
If people want to walk around like tanks for fun with no worries, let them, they are on your team so it only helps you.
The Bots might cry about plate clutching though. *gasp*


No upkeep plz

[Dexxtaa]

DTV is a money sink. 

You have to fight 3 waves per round to get 300 gold and 1000ish experience. That's about 10 minutes of combat in the tiers that matter.

Tin cans lose about  2000g per loss.

If upkeep was disabled, tincans would get the same amount per 3 rounds, without the upkeep. This would make the DTV servers more appealing.

BECAUSE, it's way easier to grind gold on a battle server. Just go in naked with a wooden sword and die, and browse Reddit vs fighting super hard on DTV for 10 minutes and get 300 gold when you lose 2k.

I'm with the OP here. The grinding gold thing is not a completely thought out argument.

I like DTV almost as much as the chaos of siege, but the upkeep turns me away from it.

[Jarlek]

I agree to this. It would also fix the problem with people going naked, dying in the first wave without doing ANYTHING and only making more bots spawn.

+1 for dtv. i wanna slay those shitbots with my best wooden swords
