I honestly don't like the gold box notification. I would personally prefer it to not be notified. Back on topic, I think it would be useful for it to be a different color. Probably orange.

Blue warning?It should be called "RED ALERT" and to be red

yeh it should but until that happens keep your volume high so when the gold will come there will be sirens 

[r_lukyza0 1]

I never play with my volume on, as I prefer not to. Some players prefer to listen to music whilst playing, for example.

you know hearing can be very useful in large maps where you can hear your enemies tank movements.once i was playing with my friend and we were playing hide and seek. i found him trying to run away cuz i heard his tank rumbling

I always notice the message , no doubt  :excl:   I love gold boxes :P

A change of color won't be bad , if you want .

 

But also , I would like they change the color of the "gold box" ... 

When the new graphics came I thought : "What's that new gold box ?! :blush: It seems a child's toy , it's not "golden" but a wooden box = Less exciting when you see it !!  :angry: "  the gold box with the old graphic was much better (exciting and "heart-attacking" :lol: ) .

once I was entering a sandbox.as soon as my tank respwaned I saw this.it is not capture or take, it is gold box will be dropped soon :ph34r:. with sirens.it fell right next to me but I didn't get it :angry:  :(  :angry:  :(  :angry:  :(  :angry:  :(  :angry:  :(  :o  :o  :o :o  :o  :o  :o  :o

lol, what happened

[lobaloba1 2]

Good idea .. :) 

[DeoxyriboNudeicAcicl 97]

How about those "Enemy has taken our flag" things be red and the gold box noti can still be gold

[Farhan55 82]

Agree the color of notification should be red or other color not yellow and green for ex.:

 

Gold Box Will Drop Soon!

 

It will draw your attention while playing. For once I was playing and the notification of goldbox appeared but my sound was off and I thought that some negative thing happened(opponent team returned enemy flag, someone lost enemy flag, some one captured our flag etc.) so i didn't give a look at the notification and later on I saw notification that someone took it.  :(

Yeah good idea

What I think actually, is that:

 

1. The boxes should fall from x2 to x4 times higher than they do, so it'd look more realistic, cause before then it looks like they're all appearing from nowhere (They actually are) and that's impossible in real life, so if the boxes were dropped from higher place, then it'd look as if they had been dropped before from a plane or helicopter or something like that...

 

2. If you include what I wrote above, then I'd say that we don't need sign: Gold box will be dropped soon

 

but we need: Gold box has been dropped

 

And then may be the gold would fall for 20 seconds and everyone would have chance to take it still, cause they could see where it's falling from and could take it even if they're really far from it (by using nitro most likely). Plus people would wait with drugs for a minute and stop killing to wait and see where the gold is gonna fall, but they'd see exactly where it falls and if they're far they could still be able to take it (if lucky) cause then everyone would just run at the place where it is falling as it'd take about 20 seconds to fall when it's been dropped. So what do you think? Plus it's more related to the old game and fairer and more realistic as well. Cause Gold box will be dropped soon? Well, good idea, but it sounds a bit more like test server!

[Farhan55 82]

I dont agree at this point. If the notification comes after gold box dropped then the player who is near to the goldbox can get it easlily and 20 seconds to fall? :huh: let me tell you an example, if there is a mammoth under the goldbox then he will be enough to keep other out of the spot (where the goldbox is dropping) and what if some one jumps? i have a video see this. In this case that guy also jumped to take the goldbox (well this is a rather different case) Well this will not work and what if sometimes you got killed, that time the notification comes and it takes long to respawn and then you have to run to the spot where it will drop and ultimately there is less chance to get. Once I went to the spot where goldbox drop (in silence map the long ramp area) and then a mammoth guy push me and I fell on the ramp upside down. I got sell destruct and then I respawned and then I came there again without nitro but still the gold box didn't dropped. But i couldn't take it because a mammoth guy took it. After the notification, sometimes the goldbox came early and sometimes it came after too long. Taking goldbox is about luck. If your idea would plan, even then it will depend on luck.

[Remaine 4,687]

Which means it makes no difference

The gold box has always depended on luck, the devs have even said it themselves. I don't see how changing a colour from YELLOW to ORANGE would cause all that either (unless you're talking about Wiki-goo's idea)

i can t whit any wile the wen gun comes

[HeroPlayer 797]

Just leave it, there is a goldbox sound wich I think is clear enough.

[TheLonelyEpic 212]

Can't agree with this topic more. Usually I figure out what's happening when everyone drugs, but the notification is easy to miss.

What about if your sound is off.  :mellow:

As I told you (Facepalm) It's take about 20 or more seconds to fall (May be 30 to be fairer) so it's easily for anyone to take it and in many different ways. Plus there are two ways of tanking the gold box: whether it falls or appears. So if gold box would appear it'd probably be taen instantly, and most likely the Mammoth. But Hornets would be really good for catching the flying golds. There are already too many mammoths and I want to look for ways to decrease their number in one battle and increase viking and may be hornet as well.

 

That video... I loled! Plus this way, there might be less of these glitches, mate. Mammoth needs more disadvantages now and not advantages cause it's been made OP already.
