At x5 you gain x1.6667(xp/3). It's not the grinders who's there anymore. The gamemode's just jolly good fun, and I guess it shows.

I see.

We need more servers/more slots then, I want to try it! lol.

one third loot is okay, I played a lot just now and I can just upkeep my usual battle set. XP feels normal too. That's the way it should be.

Now, I think we need to tweak the waves a bit and make dedicated maps. Make easy waves a little harder and make hard ones (engineers) a little easier. Buff donkey riders because they are too easy. Add new waves (like, black plate with crappy weapon, nude with pikes...)

The current XP/gold gain system doesn't fit DTV, you should get XP and gold only after your team defeats a wave and the reward should be tied to difficulty of such wave, so you get almost nothing for killing peasants and a good bunch if you beat engineers or sexies

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

Broken map, fucked spawns. The only ones that really work at all (they're kind of too easy) are Ruins, Nord Town, Port Assault, Forest Hideout and Arena.

Agreed, said as much before.
Don't.

Forest hideout seems to be the most balanced map at the moment.

We didn't abooze anything, that's why our server is still connected to the database while others aren't or had 250 players wiped.
chadz can see gold and xp gain on server so he would know if we aboozed, also devs and admins played on it and they saw we admin it properly.

I stayed in touch with chadz and the other devs asking if and how we were allowed to run the mod, and mostly following their suggestions.
Yes, someone suggested us to remove it ftm since it's bugged at hell, but they also said if we wanted to put it, was fine to put it if we admining properly.
 
That said, don't believe on the "dtv mode is fun" thing. Dtv definetly has potential, but as of now can be fun for some round but then it's boring as hell since it's still an half finished mode.
The only maps we really enjoyed were those broken, like field by the river with the really close spawns.
If we got the server always full it was because it was indeed more likely to gain a x5 here, then on battle mode.
We just gained advantage of a more xp/gold heavy mode then other modes (while keeping it reasonable carefully avoiding glitching of any sort).

Just wanted to be honest... i think it's clear that people are more interested in gaining xp then in playing other modes with less xp like rabbit or ctf (if not glitched  :D).
Most of legios got bored soon of that mode and we putted back battle, just to be stalked by other players who wanted dtv 24/24  :rolleyes:

Cmp, engineers and 2h guyz are indeed harsh on that map, but cavalry hordes just get slaughtered there  :(

Any time I have ever seen DTV it is either: Locked with 5-10 people in it, full, or locked with nobody in it. I have only gotten to play it a couple of times

You're not missing much right now, it's fun at first but gets boring pretty quickly, it will no doubt be alot more fun in the future though when it's more complete and the XP is balanced.
