Whats wrong with DTV XP/GOLD income?

[Varyag]

On DTV maps we get only half of the XP/GOLD. Is it a bug or DTV has been nerfed?

[Thovex]

I think you only get 1/3th of what it shows ingame.

[Visus]

I think its an anti-leeching thing.

Only played about 5 minutes of DTV as I find it horribly boring, and haven't paid that much attention to it. But from what I gathered when it first came along with the new patch it was mostly agreed that it was way to easy to get and keep a multiplier, and thus the xp and gold was cut to 1/3rd of regular to not make it a xp/gold grinding fest and keep it more in line with regular modes like battle and siege.

Is there any official information about that?

It's about time when everybody have grinded generations and MW guns.

As I can see, you only played 5 minutes of DTV, your opinion is then worthless.
Without a very organized group (a clan), we never get through x2-x3.
Way easier to play siege and grind money in my opinion.

Surely you must mean "to keep it a xp/gold grindfest" because currently that is what the other modes are.I agree with you on DTV even though the mobs are tough there isnt much to it.The only reason for me to do it would be to be able to earn enough gold to be able to afford to wear armor in the other modes and to get some levels but if they are nerfing it to be a grind like the other modes there is no purpose to it for me and coupled with the constant server kicks I just dont even do it.The Blackrose server was the only one I could even stay in w/o being kicked and they havnt done a dtv one in awhile so it is all a pass for me.

nerfs everywhere.....

DTV is only worth the time when there's a clan organizing things, and everyone cooperates.

It's a refreshing no-brainer mode to play between intense battles...

[a_bit_longer_cat]

How refreshing to see DTV servers nearly empty.

What's with the repair costs? Do you have to pay 1/3 of what is shown or do you have to pay the full price?

Full price, but you don't really need an expensive equipment, and you can't bring horses anyway.

Ha! The clans generally screw up DTV games. On the original map with the ruins, Kapikulu clan-stacked and insisted everyone follow their doomed strategy of defending the tower. Then on the new map, HRE clan stackers refused to let anyone else guard the door, had their shielders stand in the wrong place and cost everyone else several rounds. The real enemy is people pursuing their own agenda, whether it's clans stacking or kill-hungry Rambos not sticking to the plan.

Ok, so the reason this was nerfed was that people barely have x2 in this mode. In other modes, you will have x1 half the time, as over half the players lose every battle (because of autobalance). In this mod you get x1 for three waves, then x2 for three waves and so on. So ye, maybe it needed a nerf. On the other hand, I saw a lot of teams who couldnt even beat 2nd wave, which ment they had x1 for more time than the other modes.
Yesterday, in battle, we (the guards) grouped up and dominated a server for a couple of hours, which gave me x5 for most of the time. If we vent DTV instead, we would maybe get x5 for a wave or two. We would be a good organised group, but we would still lose A LOT on being on DTV, thats before the nerf. After the nerf, we dont even care, as this mod now punish people for playing. The income vs repair costs is way too low, and we would have to go in naked with a shield or a wep to at all have a chance to keep it balanced. I hope that this nerf is gonna be redone.

A better alternative to nerfing xp/gold would be to make more open maps with less possibilities for exploits of all kinds. Clans will still make nice new strategies, but it would be a lot more difficult then before, while clanless players can have their own share of fun and xp/gold.
