Predictable Drops are now live!

[1231kx 6]

This update should improve. Eg: Aircraft voice sounds (B-24's engines) and the crystals fall (gold box) and accessories. The existing zone markings are now mapped to the back with a red circle uniformly. (Strong inflation in the current situation, a guy who recorded starting 80 minutes Sergeant rank M0 Isida price was only a few pieces of launching) 8 kill70 death

Good at least the Gold has been improved a bit by not taking a ridiculous 3min to drop.

 

I'm sorry Tanki, you have finished this game. I've been playing for 3 years now and never had an update released as bad as this.

 100 Crystal boxes sound cool but really everyone just waits for then to fall and just drug to get them. Before in DF I would of made over 1K since I posted this but I've only made 400. Crystals hardly drop and when they do the whole battle stops and runs towards them! I remember you saying the 10 crystal drops were a distraction but these 100 ones well...they are a even bigger distraction!

 

I thought smart cooldowns was bad well this topped it off, Tanki where is your head! I thought you could make this work but you couldn't. Did you even take you consideration into account? Well releasing an update the day after you tested it on the test server it really doesn't seem like it.

 

Tanki Gold is impossible to get. All the maps I've played in have had 1 drop zone for Gold. You said getting Golds now requires more skill, well unless you consider just trying to get on top of everyone more skill I don't know what you're talking about.  Gold was fine before why would you change it?

 

Also it looks like mults got there way there's only like 1 or 2 people on a team trying to win! Everyone else is just getting 100 crystal boxes!

Great words!  (I ran out of likes I could give so I have to quote).

I can see why they brough out the dumb cooldowns but they suckered a lot of people into spending cyrstals on supplies before they made the change.  In my book that is crooked and should have been fixed (like stealing).

It is truly a shame that they continue to support mults and cheats rather than fix it or bring out updates that would help fix it.

I would like to say where their heads have been but some sensitive types would likely ban me.

 

I cannot find the post but someone said the name of the game should be changes to "Crystal Catching"...I can't wait until they bring out the unicorns in an upcoming update :D

Grats on ruining the fun battles!!

Maybe you should get rid of the predictable drops, instead of getting rid of the 50, and 100 boxes.

 

And while you're at it, make 50 and 100 more rare.

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

Did some more CTF and my conclusion still is that the crystal drops are a failure.

The new Goldbox and Supply drops are ok in my view.

 

The crystal drops were designed to enhance the gameplay because Tankers supposedly got distracted

by many 10 crystal boxes falling at the same time.

This may be partly true, but the huge value crystalboxes from 50 and 100 are a lot worse. A lot.

 

It 's pretty basic psychiatric stuff.

People are very sensitive for instant rewards especially if that reward is worth it.

Most Tankers will probably realize that if they go for that 100 crystal box and in the mean time

let the enemy flagcaper escape: they will greatly enhance the chance of loosing that battle...

Still the instant reward of a 100 crystal box remains very temptative.

 

Besides winning a battle is never certain, catching a 100 crystalbox is.

That 's why we all easily fall for the temptation.

 

With small amount 10 crystal boxes most of us will choose to focus on shooting the runaway flagcaper.

Because the reward of winning that battle in battlefund crystals and also in a sportmanslike way is worth it!

 

Now we see Tankers who totally disregard their team, only to catch the 50 and 100 crystal boxes.

And probably most of us get (at least I get) distracted by a 50 or 100 crystal box.

Instead of supporting an attack and creating a huge chance of getting the enemy flag,

we go for that 100 crystal box, almost like it 's a Goldbox...

 

Well, if it 's not removed soon I have done my last CTF 's for now.

I will "retreat" in DM 's where there are no mults and I am first not dependable of a team,

and secondly don 't have responsibilities towards a team.

 

Too bad because I liked CTF a lot nowadays after the Smart Cooldown, which was a good update IMO.

 

Plz. Tanki rethink the crystal drops!

It 's IMO only benificial to selfish players who don 't care about teamplay at all.

Many of us do care for teamplay, but that became a waste of time with these new crystal drops.

 

p.s. "Crystal Crush" sounds pretty good: if a name change is needed...

Not really, there were much more complaints during smart cooldowns and rebalances.

However this has affected the actual gameplay a lot more... It'll be much harder to adapt to these changes with some players' attitude to only getting crystals.

[tatotomas 1]

Very bad upgrade more players hunting cry boxes , this is NOgame its hunt for cry :excl:

[HillBillyJim 75]

Ew, now everyone will just hang out on the crystal drop zones. Cant you guys leave what is fine alone?

[spaced2013 26]

remove crystal drops all together and just do more daily gifts as crystal gifts

 

the change in crystal drop boxes has screwed the game up

[aperaiderpistol 459]

Mults and saboteurs will be encouraged, by this update, to do so even more because of the additional crystal box values, which ruins the fun of the game, in my opinion. I know this because I have encountered a lot of players doing so today in battles. Everyone was fighting for 50 and 100 crystal boxes, instead of properly battling. Also, gold box moments will be chaos because of everyone gathered in one small space in an attempt to gather those 1000 crystals. I don't hate this idea, but please consider how future updates will affect the gameplay of those who don't take the fun out of the game (I wasn't really sure how else to say that).

I've never seen a gold box. Do they really exist or are they just mist myths?

I can inform you that they actually exist.

Here's a picture of me taking one as proof they are real

This update is ridiculous. WHY?  Old was so much better, this is total fun kill. Except the gold box update thing. This is awesome! everything else is crap in my point of view.

[shayanshiny 1,925]

Yes! Been waiting for this!

I felt so stupid for the last week. When Gold warning arrived, I kept trying to look for the Gold Mark in the real servers before it actually released. . .

Bad update dont more works :)

[majorpakpak 39]

I am very sorry to say how bad and rediculous this update has made tanki game.Myself and whole family plays this game which was very exciting and fun but now due to the new predictable update is not fun any more. Now the team players fight for crystals, before it used to be a team fighting for flags but now they actually let the enemy destroy you so tha they can have the crystals. Another point is that the team that looses get very little  crystal from the battle fund so what would keep the loosing team in the game would be the 10, 10 crystals that normally falls. but now the hundreds and fifty crystals are destroying the game. The sronger team gets everything and the loosing team gets none and i think thats rather unfair. i would really appreciate if the tanki guys can do something about this..  because tanki isnt tanki anymore and i guess alot of people might stop playing the game like myself will if something isnt being done to correct this predictable update which is actually a pedictable disaster.

[sisif 30]

Lol, tanki really wants to get rid of any decent players it might have left.

Welcome to the MULTI world, crystals beggars' paradise.

It's insane, I just got out of a game where 6 tanks were waiting for the crystals box to drop. They were not doing anything except pushing each other for 100 crystals.

Well done tanki, soon I won't even log on this game!

[daitsin 0]

This update takes the fun out of the game: people are just waiting around the dropplaces and don't mind flags being taken. The competition is lost.

I play this game very often but if this update stays the way it is, I will start playing something else cause it is pretty boring now.

 

If u wanna throw crystals throughout the game, lowering the value of the ugrades, be my guest, but at least make the drops random in time and dropspot, without marks.

 

A very disappointed player.

[daitsin 0]

:( :( :( No more words needed.

[guerrero25 62]

10 crystals = 10x10 crystals in 1 min 

100 crystals = 1 for 5 min 

 

estafadores!
