YO, its a fake drop its not like "Predictable Drops" its like the place where those drops and i thought its like random like system i would prefer why don't tanki itself play for us and take supplies and make our acc to G.M rank and you know its so hard cause some even camp that place with strong weapons and i would suggest to make em all random cause it will show you where it drops but not the permanent place you know. then its a floppy flop and gold should not don't where the last cry's box at any price drops as i and a few players know,.(testtanki)

Review By Lt.Tank-Marshall

 

• The distance the drop boxes are at is suitable, it is not too far away. i like how it becomes invisible when further away, so it does not ruin view of the map.
• Noticing the zones is easy, they should be a bit bigger if a big tank like dictator or mammoth is sitting on it.  
• The zones are visible enough. I do not have any trouble seeing them at any brightness setting on my computer
• They are not really a distraction, but it does stand out of the map. I would suggest dimming the colors of the drop zone markers, or making them a watermark like style on the map so it does not interfere with the art of the map. Also, I would make the drop zone markers look like they were 'spray painted' onto the map, like having dripped paint, so it does not interfere with the artistic element of the map 
• What are your thoughts on making the gold box drop zone visible? In smaller maps, it should be visible within only a close proximity, but in bigger maps, it should be visible from a little further away.

Appearance of boxes

• On the higher value boxes, 10 crystals and higher, it is visible enough. But I have a bit of a problem differentiating the 1 and 5 boxes because the lighter colors blend in with their white labels and sometimes the skybox when higher in the air, especially on  bright maps like Rio. I love the box's color spectrum, that was a good move
• There was an overwhelming amount of 20 boxes. Balance them out a little, 100 boxes should be more moderately rare, its too rare at it's current state

EDIT: ​This seemed to have changed today, I am seeing much more variety in boxes, but theres still work to be done in this area

 

Frequency of drop boxes

• I feel like boxes dropped less, but that could be in my mind, because I sometimes camp and wait for a box to drop at a certain spot, rather than before, i was never aware that boxes drop at specific places and I would run around looking for the box I need.
• I might have, I only use mines when I am being chased or i want to secure a spot, or sometimes offensively. I might have accidentally laid a mine on a zone. And I have never once went over a mine on a drop zone.
• I did not do any extra amount of fighting for boxes or zones, i have fought to secure zones, but because it was a good sniping position or it had cover, not because of the box. The only exception is when i fought for a gold box, or a 100 box.

 

Other Things

The 1 and 5 boxes are not appropriate for Tanki. Since Tanki prices are a base 10 system (Excluding MU's) Having 1 or 5 boxes would not be appropriate the way Tanki prices things. 

 

The Gold Box time between the warning and the drop seriously has to be decreased. There is nothing wrong with it's normal drop time. 

 

EDIT:

Actually, it's tested drop time is perfect. It allows even the slower tanks to find the gold, and since most people instantly activate their supplies at the warning, it allows for skilled supply users to be able to effectively time their usage, because most of their supplies will run out by the time the gold box is visible. So, do not change this. I did not realize this until I was using slow mammoth. Also an experience on my lower ranked account while using Titan M1; the gold fell before I had a chance to move to drop zone

 

NOTE: The test server has been experiencing many cases of fly-hacks

 

The Verdict

 

This is a good system. The idea was good, but it has it's flaws that can be ironed out. Keep up the good work. Please, share your thoughts on the quality of my review and respond to your thoughts of the content of the review.

.....  and crystall campers!..instead of rewarding top players in teams who will be working and playing hard (even using their supplies if battle which isn't PRO (without supplies usage)..you are giving m1/m2 lower ranked players (no offence intended) who will be there only to wait for cyrstall drops,as in gismo battles funds are higher,and chance for higher amount crystall box to drop .....

please ... stop complaining about crystal campers on high rank battles. When high rank players creates battles with a big range of rank admitted, what do you expected ? I saw tons of battles with rank from Generalissimo to ... very low rank, every day. People who created this kind of battles could be more wise, it's useless to complain on the forum.

PS: of course no offence to you, I am talking generally

Dont change anything else besides the drop icons. Dont change the drop zones or maps. Please.

 

A question. You now tell the exact spot of where the gold will drop? If so, dont. Please. Its really just idiotic. You know how players get dictators and help each other? Well its pretty annoying already and if thell know the spot there will be no fun at picking up golds.
