DTV Changes - some infos

Since noone posted a changelog yet i'll need to tell you this here.

Every wave now has 5 more bots, no matter how many players are playing.

The higher the level of all players combined is, the more bots spawn! That means if you hop on dtv while being fairly high level and want to start wearing leeching gear or being a little suicidal, you will hurt the team more than ever, because gear does not get checked for increased bot spawn, only the level. And that means, you actively leeching (Heck, there is a fucking guide on how to leech without getting banned) off of the teams effort will also decrease the chance of you getting good xp&gold immensely.
I really hope this changes the mindset of certain people at least to some degree.

Also, please give feedback to the new waves here, when i tried them myself yesterday on EU7 we got to the roman legion and imo the difficulty seemed okay. But there are more new waves after that which i haven't seen yet.


Edit: I also decided to place weapon racks into all of the maps now (Except the ones that someone else did), should be in the hotfix.

Maximum is 20 bots per spawn and there are 5 spawn points. =P

It's limited in another way, too, but i'm not gonna tell you that.

As I remember, there are only top 5 players who kill the bots. So this will be harder now for them to kill all bot. As I know there is no shieldwall now. So somebody got till tincans?

So i cant earn money anywhere now... I can barely be in a little plus when im on x5 on EU1 or EU2 cus archery gear for some reason breaks almost every round (i pay so often for 3+ items that is insane, and not so rarely for all 7 im wearing). Now if i decide to come to a fucking boring DTV cus entire game mode is sucky as hell since all of those changes i will have to wear my proper gear in order to try to earn some gold?
What you are telling me is that heavy archers cant make gold anywhere.
Nice way to indirectly 2x heavy nerf archers.
Cant wait for Life is Feudal to come out to openly tell all the devs to go fuck themselves. Now i cant cus i can get banned...

P.S.
Tnx for the info Fips, at least u care to share the changes.

Since you increased the bot count, you should increase the rewards aswell.

I dont think you get it Panos. :(
cRPG is the only mod for a game i have seen that has an ultimate goal to remove fun so you can... um... i dont know what... Seems just reduction of fun is the case.

Archers shouldn't have a harder time with this. He said armor isn't checked--only level. So, that being said, you should no more worthless to your team after the change as you are now. ;)

Im lvl 35 for example. A lot of ppl i come with to DTV are above 31. That is at least 5 ppl. And that is 1/6 of the team. Some other (~5-10) players that i know are also above 31. So thats approx 1/2 of the team high lvled. So basically heavy archers (rus/long bow and tatar/bodkin arrows) got rekt double with those patches.

I think last wave of tincans is quite illusionary now , but I think that's ok though. Thanks for logs!

Finally there's a challenge that requires team to actually play to advance.
I'll miss the good old relaxing open maps, but since Fips stated it many times now that he'll never bring them back, we'll just have to work with what we get.
Nemo prudens punit, quia peccatum est, sed ne peccetur.
I (used to) manage character issues, reverting, restoring and fixing related mistakes and some other stuff. Feel free to message if you encounter a problem.
He's not the hero DTV deserves but he's the one they need.

Absolutely no one on the NA server has disagreed that the "new changes" are awful.
So now when there are 10 of us, we are wiping at a 30+ bandit wave. We think we have a tactic that works (until it doesn't), and the map immediately changes to a new one, preventing any adaptation.

A leecher problem? Kick polls are turned on; what you think you're doing with these changes is the exact opposite.
