Well it is still undergoing testing.Its not 100% completed yet.Got any proof,like a screen shot??

It would be nice if that glitch actually happens afterthe update comes out on the main servers.Anyways..the devs will probably look upon your post and verify it :)

Gold box drop zones should be invisible...it aint good like that

Gold box drop zones should be invisible...it aint good like that

gold box drop zone= 50/50 chance of getting it

 

no gold box drop zone= 25/100 chance of getting it

[ziddha 210]

guys in test server fighting for 100 crystal boxes was kinda awkward to see. they had millions in the garage but still these generalissmos fighting for that .this means lieutanants and warrant officers are gonna be multing high ranked battles for these crystals... frequency of these crystals falling has reduced drastically... many mammys camping under the crystal drop points in rio and  silence.. and yeah gb having this predictable drops is fun , it incereased the want for gb

sometimes u gotta wait for long to get any drop and it was wasting my  time

Tankers!

 

Today we are testing the mechanics of predictable drop boxes. This update is the final piece of the puzzle, completing the idea of the new supplies model, where success depends on how smart and skilled you are. You can join the testing here or here, but before you go, check out some information below.

 

What’s new on the test server:

• Now you will know where each box is going to land. Drop locations are a tactical element of the game. Combine boxes and garage supplies to keep all power-ups activated!
• Crystal box mechanics are different too. The bigger the increase in the fund since the last crystal box drop, the bigger the number of crystals in the next drop. A box can contain up to 100 crystals.
• Gold boxes have their own drop zones which are normally invisible. Now, these zones will become highlighted right after the gold notification. If you’re close enough, you’ll be able to see the symbol on the ground.

IMPORTANT: The testing can stop at any moment as we are testing the stability of the built.

 

There are about 20 maps on the test servers. For now, these are the only maps where drop zones will be visible. Of course, this feature will be added to all the remaining maps.

 

To make the feature as close to perfection as possible, we need to have your feedback on the following questions:

 

Appearance of drop zone indicators

• Are you comfortable with the distance from which a drop zone becomes visible? Should drop zones be visible from further away, or closer? Or is the distance suitable?
• How easy or hard is it for you to notice drop zones? Are they visible enough? Are they a distraction?
• What are your thoughts on making the gold box drop zone visible?

Appearance of boxes

• Is it clear enough how many crystals are in the box?
• What’s the most common value of crystal boxes in your experience?

Frequency of drop boxes

• Do you feel like the number of boxes dropped in battles is different compared to the main servers?
• Did you mine the drop zones?
• Did you fight other tankers for the boxes?

 

This is time server full on 2500/server players?

Go on server 6 and try reloading page few times.It will start loading.It will load slowly but will load.That's how it worked for me.

I wanted to take screen but didn't.I stopped recording  video just after end of battle and it dropped few seconds after I stopped recording :(

It would get full before you would even know that server is open :P

[Ricardo_O 8]

dont put the gold thing, it would ruin the fun... imagine in polygon 15 wasps and 1 mamoth while gold drops and the mamoth sees that thing... we wont have an opportunity is the predictable drop in on for golds :(

For some reason i got up eearly today and just started playing tanki.At that time it was soo free.Only about 900-1000 players were on at that time.I can explain to you about the main stuff that has been happening with this update.

1.The maps are overloaded with these predictible drops sign.

2.The crystals boxes drop very rarely and are just in different forms to make the high rank ayers more attracted to them.In like a minute,about 5 boxes maximum were dropping on sandbox(maybe even little).

3.Gold takes about 2-3 minutes to drop after this "Gold Box will be dropped soon" appears.

4.Maps have been tweaked a bit and some extra details were put on them.

 

That was all that happened during testing.Dont worry,the update will be out real soon,so be ready to test it on the main servers.

 

My opinion on this update:-

This update has many good uses and many bad ones as well.Lets go over them.

 

Pros:-

More attractive crystal boxes.And new gameplay interfaces with the map changes.We also can get all the three main power ups(Double Power,Double Armour and nitro)more efficiently.Also the boxes drop from a decent height,so everyone gets enough time to rush towards it.

 

Cons:-

People fighting over special crystal boxes.Campers on the drop zones.Time going easily while gold drops and now only luck can decide if you get a gold or not.

 

I think thats all.Im really sorry for making this soo long.In short words i could just say that this one wasnt the greatest of tanki updates and can really be worked a bit more on in my opinion. :D

[r_Firingsniper0 1,215]

This is my opinion, so don't you insult it Hazel.

 

 

I think that this update is good except for the Gold box one. It takes 4 minutes to fall, (sometimes 2, or 5) and by that time everyone has found the gold drop zone. With knowing the zone, it's like Stadium gold box for each and single map. The gold box loses the fun of it.

I could have said that xD instead of typing all that and getting downvoted.My bad.

Good update will take time to get used to though keep up the good work tanki.

To Semyon Kirov

 

When i was testing the new DROP SYSTEM on Serpuhov CTF server 6 I checked out the extra trees  on the left hand cliff top, from the red end.  

 

Several of these new trees cause self destruction when you drive over them. I'm not joking. With care you can get round them.

 

Glitch?

 

This is the cliff top used by many pros to snipe and also to get the blue flag.  

 

You asked for feedback - appreciate a reply - forum or PM

Can someones explain me what is the point of knowing where the Gold will fall? I mean, how this is fair? Right now, a WO5 has a good chance to catch a Gold, let's say in Polygon. There are 7 spots. 16 tanks. Tanks are all over the map. And I saw WO5 getting the Gold in Polygon, with Generalissimos all around.

 

Now, when Gold will fall, one spot will be highlighted. If this is the bridge, how many chances for a WO5 or Third Lieutenant to get the Gold? A whole bunch of Mammoth will sit there... Why you don't highlight all the spots? In that way, newbies in the game will see where the Gold can fall. In the actual way, everyone have the equal chance to get the Gold. But you need luck too, to find the right spot. And this is why this is exciting. With the new update, we will know where Gold will fall. Where is the fun?

 

 

What is funny for you ? To catch the Gold that falls over you... or to catch it after killing a lot of tanks ? 

 

It is normal that it will be hard for a WO5 to catch the Gold in a Generalissimos battle... but he has the same chances to catch the Gold as to win the battle... so why are you saying that he is disadvataged only for the Gold ?
