No. XP & Gold of dtv has always been WAY too high.

Yes. It was always too high and it has created lots of high level players because of the huge XP it gave.

The problem is, by making the changes you've made it is now MUCH MUCH harder for new players to reach high levels.
In Battle servers most players are gen 16 with fully loomed gear and quite often level 33+

By lowering xp rates in DTV you've made it very hard for new players to stand a chance in battle and siege gamemodes.
Keep in mind that those high level players with high gens got their crazy high xp from old DTV and strat battles offering upwards of
300k an hour.

Every gamemode should offer roughly the same amount of XP. Choosing a game mode should be a question of "which is the most fun" not a
question of "which gamemode gives me the most XP"

BUt making dtv easier for every1 isn't the way to help new players. The xp gain should be made easier for low gens and harder for high gens and so on

Fips and whomever else was responsible for the recent update, I'd like to say I really like the new spawns in DTV, although I kinda wish some ninjas had katanas.  It's cool that you guys are still working to improve the game so far after the mod came out, which makes it a hell of a lot more interesting to play.

However, the rather large increase to bots has made the game incredibly difficult, especially for low level characters or small teams.  I have a friend I'm trying to get into c-rpg right now, and as it is, he got rather frustrated trying to deal with 4-6:1 numbers we've had to handle when DTV is underpopulated.  I don't mind the changes that much at all on teams of 15+, but that really only happens at night, leaving most of the teams the rest of the day stagnating on nomads or ninjas.  Myself, I've even been swarmed and killed on peasants and bandits so many times over the past few days that the XP and gold derived from DTV has been pretty terrible.  I know you're irritated by leechers and quite frankly, I find it pretty annoying when they hang around, but on NA DTV it really doesn't seem to be a huge problem of late.  If they do show up, people realize after a round or two and kick them.  Also, most of the leechers tend to be people who were afk for a little bit and weren't doing it maliciously, so they tend to not do it repetitively after the first kick.  Not saying that they shouldn't just open up the equipment screen if they go afk, but I don't see it as a large problem the vast majority of the time.

Also, I would personally like each map to have 2-3 run-throughs.  More often than not the first run-through is disorganized, making it so that people don't have the opportunity to learn from their mistakesand form a strategy if the team dies once.

People, stop complaining about the reward, because, ever since these changes, I haven't lost gold at all in any round, and I wear decent armour and expensive weapons in general. And, even if I did, I would understand, because that's how it works in battle too, for example. Sometimes you earn cash, other times you lose it.

I was about to say reduce the reward, but I guess it's fine now since DTV is more challenging and rounds take longer to finish. I love the changes, just as they are.

Sure, the lesser gold reward doesn't irritate me much - I've probably made 20K over the past few days when before I would have made twice that, but it was a little excessive before anyway.  Since most maps end by the bandit-ninjas waves now, however, the experience has been pretty terrible, especially for low level people trying to get a foothold in the game.

Yeah, it must be easy to love the changes when your bots don't even block.

lol i havent seen so many people wipe on bandits and such low waves in a long time. DTV doesn't seem worth it unless its full with everyone in full plate.

Play in EU_7 and see if they block or not before making such comments.

According to cmp
WSE2 fixes bots being unable to block when manual block is on. NA DTV runs on WSE2, EU DTV does not.

In conclusion most people are against the changes meaning something has to be done.


The brighter side for some people is that people from DTV now go to Siege or Battle
at least on the NA servers

Fips this needs a fix can that be agreed on?

I can attest, they do block. And you can also see them blocking in the picture.
