Join the experiment with crystal drops

[Night-Sisters 2,139]

Sorry guys, this is a bad idea.

 

Reason #1 If you are unable to stay for an entire battle due to time restrictions, and don't collect your share of the battle fund, you get NO crystals. With crystal boxes, you usually get something for time and effort you spend in battle, even if you can't finish it out.

 

Reason #2 Crystal boxes add excitement and another dimension to the game. They draw players out into the open. Some tankers hover over crystal drop points, providing interesting opportunities for snipers.

 

Reason #3 To the lower ranks, 10, 20, 50, or 100 crystals is A LOT. Crystal boxes can be a significant portion of a reckies earnings. Forcing tankers to rely solely on the battle fund may discourage the players who are still trying to hone their skills and those competing with higher ranks.

 

Reason #4 Speaking of higher ranks, those who have played longer, have more drugs, or better hulls and turrets, have a serious advantage. Before, higher ranked players would often ignore the crystal drop points, instead playing for the battle fund. This created an equalizing effect as it gave any lower ranks playing the opportunity to earn crystals and benefit from battles even when they were outclassed.

 

These are my reasons for NOT doing. Hopefully these changes will not be permanent. THX!!!

Personally, I kind of like the crystal drops.  Makes a prime target for snipers to take the looters out of game play.  Okay... that's my $.02.  Back to Tanki

I do not like the no crystal drops.  I felt that was a big part of the game, the distraction of crystals is a classic part of the game.  Players have to decide at what level they are comfortable with themselves being selfish enough to just go for boxes and let down their team or be a team player and only pick up only the occasional box.  I REALLY miss this part of the game and I hope you put it back.  I loved the 20, 50 and 100 boxes droppiong and the pile of tanks under them.

 

I like the old Gold Box too, that was classic, the scramble to get into position and those that were selfless enough to be capturing the oponents flag while everyone else was distracted.

It is a bad change as you have to wait until the end of the battle to earn crystals

Look this is a bad ideea , please put the crystal boxes back in the game because the last update was awesome with the crystal boxes from 1 crystal to 100.

[MuffPuff 0]

Right! No offense but this experiment is awful! Nobody likes it, everybody hates it, including me, YOU ARE RUINING THE GAME, PLEASE STOP!

Excelent for you. Not crystals = all must crystals buy. N1 because rubel go down and money for programators go down too. Stupid idea, not experiment. Game is not fun and unplayed.  

[DarthMaul667 18]

I think it takes away from the classic gameplay. I VOTE DOWN THIS NOTION

realy bad

es no good but it's no bad so so :)  ;)  :(

[DarthMaul667 18]

What if youo made it optional. Like when you make a battle, have alittle check box "Crystals fall" or  "Crystals dont fall" so you're not forcing this on people who dont like it. I'm a huge fan of the bigger crystal boxes. And so do alot of people. Please take this into consideration!!!

[BicShot 30]

I like the idea of adding funds to the players.  No more Battle for the Crystal boxes!  

However, I think we should keep crystal box drops.  But at random time and  locations.  It's like Easter egg hunt.  Make it more fun!

 

Also, the announcement of  the gold box drop should be removed.  It creates the same problem as predictable crystal box drop.  Players rush to the drop site, fighting each other.

Thank you for thinking about how the Crystal boxes affect the game play. I have noticed that in team games a larger number of players disregard the score of the game whether CP or Flag or TDM in favour of "hanging out" and waiting for the next drop. This is discouraging for us who play the game fun and not to collect crys. only.

 

I also thank you for changing the way that supplies are limited in use by the players - makes for a more even playing field.

 

I would like to complain though about the dropping of supplies in the "Pro Battles". I received a free one day Pro Battle Pass and was looking forward to a nice clean skills-only battle. Well, I am glad I have never bought a Pro Battle Pass because it is simply a hunt for supply boxes the whole game - not a great concept. 

 

I would like to see all Pro Battle maps have NO falling supply boxes - players rely on their equipment as is and their skill only.

 

Thanks

 Just the same, but the Micro-upgrades times too long. => time I play it a second nick. Second nick is not part of the games are updated.

 

Speed up eating much crystals :angry:

[GG_reg 1,521]

Nice idea Semyon. I was listening to some friends talk about the number of mults in CTF. I played a lot in DM mode during the X2 battle funds and thought it was great. Then when I tried CTF out for myself, it was crazy. People multing just over some crystals. Thanks, will be sure to try this out.

[prajwalkandel 71]

bad idea again , gold should take time but not thaaaat long ( which was in the last update) and y to remove crystal . dont remove crystal but dont make 100 crystal box 50 will be fine but 100 ,every one wait for it

I like your term Looters - perfect - agree but would like it gone.

[MuffPuff 0]

this is the perfect solution!!!! and it's soo great like this!!! less distraction and less looters in game that will ruin gameplay, so props on this idea for this one !! keep like this ! :D 

You better shut up... Everyone else that has posted recently has said the complete opposite to you, BE QUIET!!! It is ruining the game, peeps!!!  :angry:  :angry:  :angry: 

[hellboy1234567 546]

i am fine with no crystal drop, but gold is really bad now...i understand low ranks live on collecting drops, therefore bring back the old system entirely...if anyone is concerned with distractions caused by the crystal and gold drop he can always play PRO battles with crystals off...it had been this way for a very long time and nobody complained...if you want no crystal drop then whats the point of PRO battles? any normal battle will be sufficient..

[rampagerhino 67]

I like this a lot. :D

[Amcmichael2 6]

This is terrile!! Yes, it may make life a little harder for cherry pickers but it takes away a whole element of tanki!

Please put cry boxes back.

[mcmonkey25 717]

No offence, but another bad idea Tanki :3, JUST NO. Crystal drops, in their original form were perfect. 100 boxes are too large and cause mults. No boxes takes a huge element out of the game which we all love. My alternative: maximum 20 crystals, but keep the 10 and 5 boxes. Plus, 1 crystal, REALLY? We need it how it is, else I'm probably out of here.

The Gold box update is cool but i liked the crystal box drop it really helps my tanki wallet !!
