Definetly maps like Yaragar, Istiniar, Rizi weren't bad, but they had this tendency to be undefeatable - with a competent team, you could play them peasants to tincans, 3 times in a row (by losing on tincans each time, back then you played 4 runs per map) and then trying to succeed on the last try, which made it an ENORMOUS exp-farm.

I think now with almost twice the amount of rounds we had on DTVirgin, + more bots, that would no longer be a problem if maps were made harder and, let's say, we would have 3 tries per map to win.

Just don't re-add Yaragar, Istiniar and Rizi, those were nice maps but they were simply too easy, and their charm was ONLY being the exp-farms.

Just realised I didn't add a poll, so made it now.

I'll start bugging Fips on Irc/steam soon I guess :)

bro, even with the best team and most efficient "exploits" you were only really "farming" 28k every 10 - 15 mins, dont call that enormous, you could still make more on a x5 streak on battle \ siege. so throw that ridiculous argument that people were farming too much xp, A: they werent, B: noone but fips cares, and C: the xp only seemed big to new players who never had a good x5 streak on battle. it was in actuality very very meager.

bring back old dtv cuz it was a fun safe haven for new players, and a relaxing chat room for high lvl players who want to play around, but dont want to try hard on battle or siege.

You're not wrong, but on maps like istiniar and others it was achieved with a much smaller effort compared to fighting to keep your x5 going on PvP gamemodes. And it wasn't bad, I hyped it up a bit in my post :oops:

But as you said, only Fips cares about it, and he's the manager of DTV maps, so appealing to him is our only hope now :P We just want the good maps back, and maybe Vivi too  :)

I made my start on DTV but now I feel the need to avoid it because of how mindless and linear fips made it.  All the current maps are overtly basic, uninspiring, dumbed-down and plagued with invisible walls that just feel lazy. 

Old DTV had its faults but it was better than this crap we have now. more fun for most people and they should bring it back already.

EDIT: Fips agreed to re-add the old maps if we edit them to no longer have spots that can't be accessed by bots and can be by players. So no more Yaragar Fences or Istiniar Huts, we need to change them.

How can you help:
1 - Edit the maps yourself and send them to me/Fips, so later he could add them with the nearest patch :)
2 - Check out the villages and discuss how can you make them not possible to abuse.

After almost a year of change, Fips has given into the constructive whining.
