Update 148 — "Gold box" modification

[monster0909 299]

Please remove this . i was in in kungur no one in my team drugged as the Notification appeared every body in my team ran to drop points fully drugged . :mellow: :mellow:

:lol: I bet whenever it says that, everyone in the battle is going to drug. (a lot of wasted drugs :lol: )

Back to the time where gold drops on 700 fund, I mean, why the notification for? Now when someone see it he use drugs and come to the spot, and a hornet can't even take a part in the spot.

I dislike this Idea.

Sorry, but I don't see the point. The good old gold that fell at 700 was removed because around 680 or so crystals everyone would begin drugging, stop playing the game, and fight under where it fell. Now with the new gold notification, we have basically the same thing. Each team, say in Iran, will go fight each other over their crystal drop points and quit playing the game when they see the announcement. What has been accomplished? This will just create even more crystal campers that get in a battle and leave immediately after gold falls. Usually, I get gold by playing the game and just keeping an eye out, which worked rather well. Now drugging mammoths will know when the gold falls, go to a crystal point, and make sure noone else has a chance to get it.

Yeah.

Nice!!

[jubidubi228 2]

Its very good, but not good. I know this sentence was weird, but now WASP users that hunt gold boxes will not have the surprise of speed because everyone will rush to the drop sites.

This update is good for heavy tanks with nitro's because you are hard killed, you can ram hard and get there in time.

This update is 4/5.

That is true, this is not bad, but also not good update

too easy at bobruisk

Dear players! We are particularly interested in real situations with gold boxes after the update. Share your impressions here.

If it becomes clear that the update makes the sutuation in team battles worse instead of improving it, we will consider the possibility of removing it.

 

Dear new boss, Slow's respect for you has just stepped up by a notch ;)

 

This will just be like old times, when it fell at 700, a massive fight for it. I did like that, although back then I wasn't strong enough to fight for it. While everyone waits for it, good opportunity to cap some flags xD

 

Honestly on certain maps where drop points are very well scattered, even capping flags becomes a dangerous business. With the new "60 or less second to GB" hysteria, all and all players on the field on both sides are drugged and this time scattered around the map, making the chances of a safe route out for flag cappers even less. So forget about the old way flag cappers could enjoy the game while they were all concentrated slaughtering each other on one particular location.

 

Now Gold Box can appear at any crystals' drop zone.

So it can be drop zones for usual crystal boxes AND old drop zones of gold boxes.

The element of surprise is still here, however the chance of getting the gold is undoubtedly higher.

 

Dear new boss, thanks again for answering me on that one. I believe you should make and update to the original post with clarifying statements like this one clearly stating that gold will fall in a mix of these drop zones and not just crystal boxes drop zones.

 

As for the element of surprise, believe me it ain't there. The new notification kills that. :(

 

This is the case of choosing the lesser of two evils. Now you have only a minute of people fighting for a gold (and pay attention, it's not everyone) instead of gold hunters doing nothing and waiting.

Secondly, there will be no more people who enter a battle, see that the battle fund is about 700 and they know that gold box will be dropped soon.

And finally, let's not forget about those players who love to fight for gold boxes.

 

Honestly the 2nd point you make there ain't worth discussing at all as it seems that you're ignoring the fact that this problem has already been solved thanks to previous update on Gold Box conditions.

 

Considering the lesser of these 2 evils you mention, the input made by the heavy tanks (shafts in particular) who love the notification, that made by others like me (usually faster tanks and surprise junkies) and not forgetting these old-school tankmen who loves that sport of smashing each other to get the gold box, I have a proposal:

 

Instead of taking it out, or keeping it, why not make the notification themselves random ?? i.e. sometimes it will be announced that GB is about to be dropped soon and sometimes it simply just falls without any notification at all.

 

This way the surprise elements remains for those who wants it, and in other random games where the playing field is lucky to receive a notification of GB coming the shafts and gold fighters get their chances too :D

 

As for the likelihood of the notification appearing or not, that I trust the devs and consultants to come up with a good probability figure on this one ;)
