Update 148 — "Gold box" modification

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

i need more details or a pic

Details? As you can see, it's 'about a minute', no exact time.

As for how it looks

The game will come to a complete standstill while everyone scrambles for a drop zone. A small tank (wasp, hornet, viking) can easily be pushed out of the way by a larger tank (mammoth, titan, dictator). The only tanks that can push a large tank out of the way is another large tank or two large tanks in tandem.

 

"Now Gold boxes appear at any point where usual crystal boxes do (previously there were 1 to 3 drop zones). Gold boxes are dropped as often as they did before the update." Silence maps have 5 drop zones: 3 on the blue team with one being on the ledge and 2 on the red team...one on the long ramp and one on the ground by the long ramp. Of the 5 drop zones, 3 drop crystals (the one on the ground by the long ramp and the one on the upper tier by the blue flag drops power and armor only). Blue team can easily control all 3 zones. l know it has always been that way, but now that there is advance notification, Blue team can band together to gain control easier.

 

Now, for the maps that have Friendly Fire enabled. Need i say more?

What people should do is that no one should be allowed to use drugs in the minute where gold boxes are dropped.

 

[robbie56 2,403]

About a minute before gold box appears you will see a notification on your screen. After that everything will depend only on your skill and luck!

 

 

Only now will everyone wait on crystal spawn places....

This is a mixed blessing for me.

 

Pro: I know when to prepare and not to die.

 

Con:

 

1) For Iran maps, people will know when to flood into the Tunnels

 

2) Others will know when to drug

 

3) My Wasp will not possess the art of surprise for obtaining Gold Boxes anymore. Others will be searching for them too. :(

 

Help me, I'm lagging now. After this update, it takes me forever to connect to servers and when I try to join a battle, I get a message saying it couldn't connect or something. Too much Lagg now. Lol.

The gold box wont fall into the tunnel anymore as crystals dont appear there either. Read the topic closely before posting unreasonable posts.

Thanks this is nice!

(facepalm)

 

Slow's Prediction: Yet another update that could have been worked upon more before rolling out. Yet another update that will sometime in the future be re-updated/ re-tweaked again

 

Here's 2 reasons why I don't like it:

 

1) Less fun :-( No risks of some adrenaline pumping on sight of a gold box. Now that everyone knows it will just become just yet another expected event. (This game now loses its only surprise element)

 

2) Many will argue that the surprise is still here as no one knows where exactly it will fall and the possible locations have increased. Sure there is that, but pre-148 Gold spawning points were actually very carefully picked to be in the neutral zones (more or less). Using normal crystal boxes' spawning points bring an imbalance to the game as these points are seldom fairly distributed on most maps. Hence giving one team more of an advantage in their chance of getting the gold.

[GhOsT.NiGhT 208]

what about normal places of gold box

like tunnel in IRAN where there is no crystals?

[nerka789 1]

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

How can i get this Gold box ?

By driving through it.

[marexMARKO 5]
