DTV Rates

Exp and gold still sucks in DTV  and now that there's less people so we have to play it more

Increase the gold and exp rate

I play the rounds by myself and I only got 130 gold and 3000 exp for killing 12- 18 Bandits over a 4 min round
that's like 8 gold a bandit head how fuckin cheap is this viscount and the exp is crap for what you had to do then after you have to repair your sword for 700 gold.
DTV is a large money sink and you should be pushing to make this better since the servers are dead

It was decent until fips did double the ammount of bots. In order to play DTV, you need a team of shielders and maulers on an easy map to get something actually worthy at the end of rounds.

An increase in the exp and gold rates on DTV is a good idea. EU7 and NA7 are the havens for new players, and as such, they should create comfort rather than frustration. Less challenging gameplay is a sound argument for lower rewards, but they shouldn't be as low as they are now compared to the PVP servers.

You can earn a lot of gold in DTV with full server and winning, so I think the "no repairs" is absurd. Gold rate is already good.

If you intend to play with the most expensive gear like plate armour all the time without losing gold, it's not the server or the game-mode to blame. cRPG is like that. Just use cheap gear in the first rounds.

I would increase the xp gain instead. DTV is the only game-mode without double xp.

Full server on NA1 is rare... only when a good map and the stars are aligned... since Fip's DTV changes, it's quite hard to go far with only a few players.

First multiply all exp rewards on DTV by x1.5,
then reward beating the boss round with 3x the new max exp!

I have said before to remove repairs on dtv. Who's going to complain about that? Bots? Bots don't complain. Also the 'join in 5 seconds or you are autokicked' is REALLY good at making sure dtv can't build up a population. This mod is cool but unfortunately it seems to revolve around punishing and discouraging players instead of the opposite. People get tired of 'fighting' a game that seems to fight them. Games are supposed to be fun, not a chore.

I'm sure the autokick is there for a reason - to calculate the number of bots according to the number of living players - not just to annoy you. Besides, if it were disabled, that would add a lot of work for admins to kick people who don't spawn for a long time and are using a slot someone else who wants to play could use.

I always thought there should be some kind of valor mechanic. even before fips destroyed dtv ( thx for giving partial freeroam back though, dtv can be fun again ) not a lot of people actually tried, most players just came there to chill chat and relax, and let the heroes do all the work.

there were times when i thought about offering 10k to the top player, to get people to try harder. but eh, even i came there and sat around \ messed around with friends instead of playing.

there should be some sort of valor mechanic to top players of the rnd, get a lil boost to their exp and gold, not much more than every one else, but something.

people could still relax, and try hards who wanted to make decent xp and gold through playing well could do so through bonuses for good rnds.

Then you would have to add the point system that siege/battle has,otherwise noone would play shielder(for shieldwalls thats quite important,eh?)...
