Lies! Where does the 0 go?!?!?! :D

Stupid children

I'm 90% sure that after the voting the less popular map will eventually be deleted.

They're too similar. For the same reason "twin" maps like Silence I and II, Fort Knox I, II and III were merged into one or deleted...

First time I actually won an XP battle with oficer777 in the other team. He was probably playing with one hand :D

So I tried to leave a new message in a topic aaaand... this happened :blink:

So the only question left unanswered is whether gold boxes will still drop when all gold box drop locations are occupied with existing golds. No way to test this though unless you have 40 people playing 999 kills on Dusseldorf all day and agreeing to not pick up golds. That, or you'd have to somehow get 10x funds in a closed battle with friends.

I said "at least 5". This means that there are 5 or more. Checkmate.

Cologne is better. It feels more open (because it is), while Edinburgh is very small and closed off, making players feel quite claustrophobic. Cologne is better for long range guns, yet short range guns are still useful on bases and in the center. There are only three ways to carry the flag on Edinburgh, while there are at least 5 on Cologne - this should help vary the gameplay and tactics.

There is no such thing as a "russian" server. Only the name is different. You can even have and english interface on russian servers and vise versa. Therefore, no - there is no advantage regarding gold boxes on russian servers and their gameplay is the same too. The only server that is different from others is the hidden cybersport server for top clans. Yet you claim that Sewegart, MadGenious and "the russian guys" will find it more difficult to catch gold boxes after the update. I'm asking you why you think that?

Why will it make it more difficult for russians?

Flood.

You didn't get the idea. The value of crystal drops depends on the rate of fund growth. On high ranks (test server generalissimos) the fund grows fast, so 1 and 5 crystals rarely drop, however on low ranks currently the 10 crystal boxes are very rare and this update will add more boxes for smaller ranks to go after, making it more interesting for them.

Because the server is at full capacity :D There is a limited amount of players, who can be on it at once (2500). If more would be allowed, the server would lag and crash, which is why the system automatically disables new login attempts until some people leave to prevent overload.

If the issue is your skill, rather that the capabilities of your keyboard, then buying an expensive gaming keyboard won't improve your situation much. It would only solve technical issues regarding multiple buttons being pressed at once. If your keyboard does not register more than 2-3 keys pressed at once then you may have issues with combined movement of your tank (e.g. turn, move, shoot and rotate turret at the same time)

By the way, in my opinion the number of crystals in each box should increase as ranks get higher. E.g. in low rank battles only 1 and 5 crystal boxes. In middle ranks only 10 and 20. In high ranks only 50 and 100. This will solve the problem of crystal camping as the crystals won't fall as often.

1.1 The distance should increased up to two times the current setting. 1.2 They are clearly visible and are currently a distraction, however it's probably just a matter of getting used to it. 1.3 There should be a very large number of gold drop zones and after the siren the one where the gold will drop should be highlighted. This will add the skill and thrill of seeking out the correct spot and beating competitors to get the gold, rather than just waiting in one of the drop zones and hoping to get lucky. 2.1 It's quite clear, however a black outline around the number would help. 2.2 Haven't had much experience yet. It seems that 1 and 5 is most common 3.1 It seems like the number of boxes will be lower since more crystals won't drop on top of existing ones. This isn't good. 3.2 No, but it seems like a good way to get easy kills. Won't help your team in a CTF/CP battle though. 3.3 Didn't play a proper battle yet.

So the open testing of the new supply drop mechanism has been started on the test servers. In the one time I managed to get through and try it out I ended up with the following observations: The supply and crystal boxes drop locations are completely different to the ones we have now. There will no longer be two types of drops falling in one location Drops no longer flash and disappear after 30 seconds. Once a supply box is dropped, another one will not appear until the first one is picked up, therefore... There will no longer be piles of supply boxes in one spot. The drop locations are highlighted by a sign on the ground, that shows what type of supply drops in that spot. The indicator on the ground becomes visible as you come closer to the spot (at around 20-30 meters) and disappears when you get out of range. The indicator DOES NOT show how many seconds are left until the next box falls. Crystal boxes now have different values - 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 crystals (+ 1000 gold) Like the supply boxes, only one crystal box can fall in one crystal drop location. The next one will fall after the previous was picked up. Still to be tested: If all crystal drop locations are occupied with crystal boxes and nobody picks them up as the battle progresses, then when the boxes are eventually picked up, more valuable ones will fall. TRUE If it is true that crystal boxes don't disappear and neither do new ones fall on top of existing ones, then if the boxes aren't picked up the total potential earnings of players in that battle will be lower, because crystals don't fall, yet the battle fund doesn't increase at double the rate. TRUE If gold boxes aren't picked up and somehow all gold drop locations are occupied with golds (or crystals), will any more golds drop in that battle? UNKNOWN Do gold boxes fall on top of crystals? FALSE Do gold boxes and crystals fall in different spots now? TRUE One thing I don't understand and would really like to know is why there is no countdown timer on the indicator signs on the ground. Will that feature be implemented? Discuss the statements above here.

Is this an official contest? Can you give me the link please?

Play with the combo that you find easiest and most comfortable. If you're good at controlling your tank you will inevitably get lots of XP.

rambobear11 was right - there is already an existing topic for gold box screenshots: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=204702 I don't see how your topic is any different to the one above.

Please ask questions regarding comparison of guns and hulls in this topic: What to buy? Which is better? Viking is lower and wider, therefore more stable. Hunter has more drift similar to Hornet and I think also has better tilt (e.g. when you swing back and forth to hit a high/low target with thunder or railgun).

It depends on what you're aiming to buy next. If you will unlock a gun upgrade in two ranks for a gun that you want to buy, count how many crystals you need and count how much XP you have left until you get to that rank. Divide crystals by XP and multiply by 1000 and you'll get the minimum number of crystals you'll have to get to have enough crystals in time for the upgrade. If you just want the average earnings for comfortable gameplay at your level, then I would say about 400 crystals for every 1000 points.

I don't think he means that it's his keyboard stopping him from doing multiple actions at once, however I could be wrong...
