    Gold Boxes!

    A group can be 4 players max, and can only join team battle. If 16 players form 4 groups, and press the button at once, they may end up in one team battle. Choosing a less played mode, or doing this at late hours can increase chances of success. For DM you can gather a huge number of players, and again have them all click the button at once, the more friendly players than randoms, the higher chance of success. But that means there can't be any random player matched in your battle - unlikely, but possible. I'm quite sure that gold drops less often than it used to right after MM release. Unless I'm super unlucky.

    How is it possible? Try to deduce what does it mean :ph34r:
  5. Good luck buying them :lol: Literally the most unexpected time to release all this :O Cost of modules? :X

    Gold Boxes!

    I've seen everything. Gold before 9:50 I think - I was connected and saw notification - I can easily confirm it from video and 20 seconds for gold to hit ground. I've seen a gold drop in the last minute, actually I've managed to leave that time as notification appeared
  7. I can only confirm it, I'm entering games either with magnum or rail protecting module, and I have no idea which one to keep/change, both annoy me. I think it's good idea to buy protection from fire and hammer. Then, all remaining (freeze, vulcan, smoky, striker, shaft) are annoying, but that's only in groups, or players who like them, and usually know how to play them + drug. Well, smoky can be annoying, but not so dangerous. Striker is not so annoying, I don't remember being hit by a salvo, however on DD it's basically like second hammer, but with a fixed and fast reload, vulcan and freeze mostly come as (defenders in) groups. True that, now as I look at it, I'd probably just get striker protection for self damage when I use striker, and maybe freeze one. Always take rail magnum, and probably shaft, or thunder, and change few minutes later, to whatever I need.

    Matchmaking is coming May 29th

    It may be a bug, or just result of ping, and the few miliseconds flag return time, but once it happened to me that I took a flag after a player in front of me died (and I capped it), while I was driving just behind him. Never managed to repeat it.

    Gold Boxes!

    Please do :P Cool, and don't forget, that a black box can be dropped only by tanki, that's the easiest way to prove it. I took this screenshot like 3 days ago, but I couldn't find it, and I wasn't sure what exactly happened there, since tanki crashed right after I got the screen. Finally it's here, and I guess this is good enough proof, that golds can drop anytime. (whether the chance is fixed, or depending on number of players, mode, etc.) I have a secret account too :ph34r: Maybe you'll notice the nickname somewhere.
  11. Hi guys, please do you remember which kits were in garage the last rotation? (few days ago) I forgot to note them, and I'm not sure which set it was.

    Gold Boxes!

    Today I'm feeling like golds fall way less often, but I still caught 2. I caught *few* more since MM, and obviously they fall more often at super low ranks, well, now they actually drop unlike before as fund is incredibly low. I'm still interested in the mechanism. Does gold drop randomly, depending on time? (e.g."Every second there is a 1:X chance to drop a gold") Or does it actually depend on the number of players in battle, on actions done in battle such as kills, caps, etc.? In short, "easy" way to prove it would be playing a DM or TDM battle (so only action are kills), and recording the whole battle, waiting for gold. Then check, if gold drops right after someone is killed, or even without that. Of course, if gold drops randomly, it's pretty much sure, they don't depend on "fund" or in other words "action in battle", but only on time (and the chance for gold can be possibly influenced by the number of players in battle, or the mode). However, it doesn't work the other way. If gold drops as someone dies, it doesn't mean gold can drop only after an action is done, since it could be always a time-triggered gold. Soooo, I want you guys to do this if you have the PC to run a recording program throughout the whole battle. Of course the quality doesn't matter, all that's necessary is timer, notification and the kill/action log - nicknames doesn't have to be completely clear, the quality can be pretty low. In case gold doesn't drop, you can instantly delete it. I'm going to do the same, but the more players, the higher chance of success :ph34r: PS: I forgot about player dropped golds, so perhaps it's better to check this at low ranks where players are less likely to drop them. Edit: I've got lucky, first gold - it dropped "randomly", meaning about a half second after a kill. I know, that before, and in PRO battles, gold drops right when fund raises (after kill, etc.) Then a second gold dropped. this one dropped right after a kill, I watched it a few times, and I'm quite sure it was exactly at the kill. Confused. Let's see more. Edit2: ._. If I was so lucky on other account. Gold dropped a second after second kill in a DM. I guess it's just random, doesn't matter if players just look at each other. I'd like to prove this so much by filling a battle with 16 friends, who would just look at each other for 10 minutes, waiting for a gold :lol: Edit3: A black box dropped, and I think it was not triggered by kill. I'm not 100% sure, but I think so. Cool. I still want to know more about that mechanism. :x

    Gold Boxes!

    Do you think, there are more golds dropping, than before? At legend rank, of course, for low ranks they obviously do. Also, how often they fall in your opinion. I've seen almost a double gold, a gold droped at 9:40 on timer, and sometimes it doesn't drop at all for few rounds, so I still have no idea.

    Wait, wait. Player dropped? Or the game actually dropped a gold without enemies?
  19. A sneak peak of what's happening in Perm :ph34r: Anyway, servers seem more stable, unlike yesterday, when I experienced a number of server lags, disconnected from server etc. I didn't play much, and the battles still feel unbalanced, but so far it's okay, I give devs some time to deal with bugs and fix them first, and then optimize the system itself. Even tho I lost, I can't say it was unbalanced. Let's see what's gonna happen.

    Tanki World Records

    I've obviously made the gold just for myself :ph34r: Don't worry, I caught more than just a bunch. You took the record from previous owner, while you had just 3 score more, and you could cap 2 more flags/ball, which give you more time, and experience :P Your record will most probably be replaced, in case it will be easier to earn score, and in case it will be very hard to earn that amount of score, and almost impossible to break the record, I guess it will be archived. You might as well attempt to break the record again, in matchmaking. I know you'd like to stay there, you'll stay, just in archive. Archived records are just outdated, and impossible to break again, or can be beaten too easy and unfairly, nothing changes, they are still cool, and interesting that someone managed to do that and that.

    Tanki World Records

    Matchmaking is coming, there will be some changes to score system. What I suggest is to keep a section for records only from matchmaking. Keep for each mode a "highest score in ____ mode" and "highest reward in ___ mode", in other words only a full, 10 minutes time. That means removing record for most experience earned in 5 minutes, since it's not "easy" to prove, looking at the timer, and taking picture at the right time, or recording the whole battle, and then searching for the 5 minutes with most score earned. This simplifies it, you just take a picture at end of game. (Except for "most kills in DM mode", which is pointless, since it's too easy to hit 50. There could be a "fastest time to hit 49 kills", the last kill you can see timer. There could be also a most kills in TDM, but not in other team modes, since there it's not the mode's goal) And then, keep the other records made in PRO battles, with no time or battle lenght limits, gold boxes records, parkour, ratings etc. Also, about gold boxes records, many of them can be "staged", or just helped by players dropping golds. This applies basically for all of them, since you can never check if those golds were real or not. I can drop myself 50 golds, and as proof provide screenshot/video from ratings page before and after that with a range of 24 hours, to make it look like I caught them in one day. Even if you want me to provide screenshot of each gold with time and date shown, it's simply not enough, as I can drop those golds to myself in normal battles, and catch them. Moreover, not everyone plays with time and date shown (taskbar hidden, or playing in fullscreen). I'm sorry lukey, but I think most of these records should be archived, OR kept, and allowed to be done with help of players dropping golds, but then you'll gonna see "fastest time to catch 5 golds" done under a minute, probably done by me :ph34r: That means all of the "fastest time to take X golds", and maybe also "most goldboxes taken in 12 hours", because I think it's almost the same as the record under it, and can be aswell broken by dropping few hundreds golds to myself. Then I suggest adding a new record, and that is "most black boxes taken ever", with a screenshot needed for each of those golds (nickname must be visible, the screenshot doesn't have to be fullscreen), and obviously except for black golds from crazy black friday bug :rolleyes: It should be easy to notice any of those. Please, think about it.
  22. Oh lol, actually you are the living example of that situation :o There is certainly a number of players like this. And not all of them are even of rank, when they can access M2 modules.

    I actually did that like 5 minutes after he posted the video :rolleyes: Why should I post it tho. Let people count them :ph34r: On the other hand, watching through the video may be funny, such as the chat at 0:41.
