Why is ranged disallowed in DTV?

Title says it all. It is completely unreasonable to disable ranged in DTV
So with PT >10 stones become simple too effective
:lol:

Last time I was in the NA DTV they didn't give multi, either. So I haven't gone back. Didn't know about the ranged thing, don't see why they would but it can only be assumed that it's specifically that server.

I live on the westcoast of the US. If I join EU's DTV, I have about 200 ping. I get better ping on the chinese servers (which are disconnected) than the EU ones

Hello,

The reason ranged is disabled is because player are exploiting a problem with the map itself, causing bots to get stuck in a corner, then shooting them through an arch. As soon as the map is updated (Within the next day) Ranged will be enabled again. Also as far as I know the multipliers should work fine.

Friend and I were there one day and the Multi wouldn't go above 1x even after multiple winning rounds, and when we asked why in the chat and started bringing it up, we were kicked. It was a while ago, though. At least a week or so. So I assume it's been fixed/changed.

It should be, I played DTV yesterday and had  high multiplier. On a side note, the 'kick' you received is a bug the devs are working on, when you die and it spawns a new wave, it will often kick players who are dead.

Ahh, that must have been it. We just shrugged it off and blamed it on a disgruntled admin who has been having complaints and whatnot, so we didn't think much of it.  Will keep the bug in mind, though.
