Join the experiment with crystal drops

[creeperskelly 1,281]

A solution to the crystal drop problem is have a generic box but with different values - that way nobody knows until they pick it up.

i also think it works great to have the regular chrystals added to the fund, but gold boxes should still take 30 to 90 seconds - it give a great ooportunity for a sneak attack while the greedy others battle for 1000 chrystals

hi again. yet the crystal system is a little too stupid. now it is harder to earn crystals because now there are no crystal boxes, and if you add the collected crystals to the battle fund, the player gets no crystals and the battle fund gets more crystals.And if the player gets a really high score in a team battle and u are in the losing team, you might not get crystals. then the player might get sad and jealous. that is not good :angry:  :(

Oddly enough, I've found this update strangely neutral; pleasant, even. I almost never go for crystal boxes, so I'm not losing any funds. My funds from my wins are higher, which is naturally a pleasing effect.

 

My only complaint is the gold boxes. As said before by others, dropping immediately is not a good thing. I would suggest that it go to a system where it drops delayed (as it was before), but not up to 90 seconds, as that is a very long time, and drugs activated near the beginning of the drop will not last that long.

[65536g 20]

One of the best ideas ever placed.

 

Why? because now, there will be much more less players who enter battle only for taking crystaks and not playing seriously.

Can you define the term "seriously" please? Until now I used to be under impression it's just a game, a bit of harmless fun rather than anything remotely serious... Do you really mean investing time and effort into this activity? For just a big thank you from the marketing department? Or are you expecting to include it into your CV? :blink:

 

TIA

So far I personally like it. Everyone focuses on the game not getting the crystal boxes. Also with this experiment in CTF battles you can make the battle fund skyrocket with a few caps.

[adelwd-71 5]

Most players come with a sub-account and negative votes that ... I agree with this idea (no more crystal boxes) now we can take comfort level up....the game is now better than before..thank you :)

My thought on the crystal change is that I very much disliked it last week when crystals were dropped on allocated points, too much distraction, and team jostling, increased with double points. The crystal situation prior to was fine, didn't need changing, as you played and made your offensive or defensive moves a few extra crystals to collect as a little bonus. On playing today I can see the gain in crystals as a pay off at the end, but think it is top heavy having the more advanced tankers adding + more to their pot, so will played over time, create a bigger divide and put lesser tankers off, not being able to boost their pot now and then. 

The big bonus as I can see it is that it will keep more people in the game to the end, lessening the game hoppers who skip in and out of games, and that is a def bonus. 

 

In short; keep the crystals as were before specific allocated drop point, or, leave them out but allocate crystals lets say for time spent in the game, or shots hit on target to enemy tanks, as less gun strong tanks take more shots to knock out an enemy tank so that should balance it out.

 

Gold boxes, looks as though I'm going to be screamed at and in the minority after ready the forum here, but I do think a quick drop is better and will give more balanced a chance, as the delay in dropping them did distract everybody from the game >>>> everybody wondering off to the drop zone rather than playing as a team... hmm that's an idea, maybe it should be about which 'team' gets the box, sharing the value of the contents, and the tanker securing it getting a modest bonus added to his score helping to ensure he/she plays to the end!! 

This distracting did give the chance for some takers hee hee, to make runs for the less protected flags or points, as I found on a few occasions going for the gold boxes everyone abandoned the game and their teams for a free for all!!

 

Well, I've said enough, I'm sure a few of you will have some bones to pick about my comments, but hey, tankers fore away!!

 

p.s. Thank's Tanki Online for a great game, what ever you decide, we.. we I love your game BB2

I don't like it because I don't always have enough time to stay in an entire battle.

Simple solution - join shorter battles - use the P key - create your own battle for the  time you can play.

 

No more crystal boxes B)

[faouzi 6]

nice i love it good job tanki

 

[Raymond1006 0]

I know lots of people think it is great

But NOT me! 

 

I really want that crystal box come back!

Because sometimes if you play for 10 mins in a winning team and you just kill 3 person.

It is important to get some blue boxes to let you to at least get some money.

Not finished the battle and you get 18, your mind is just... :angry:  :(

 

Sometimes, Blue boxes gets more money than playing in the game. Therefore, I really hope that blue boxes Come BACK!

NO MORE CRYSTAL BOXES

[ORPU 119]

Predictable drop was a noob update in the first place.

 

Can we just get back to the normal 10 boxes and Gold box will be dropped soon???

 

Remember, 100 boxes will be less a distraction lol :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[NaturalPwnage 3]

I wish we had crystal boxes because when we are on a losing team then we would get less crystals than we would if we had the original box drop thing, with 1-100 crystals. So basically the other team actually gets more crystals than we were supposed to collect if we were on the losing side. <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_< <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<  <_<

Plz go back to the drop system before the experiment,

[matthewhhh 4]

Just played a battle where the top kills scorer woodburner  w/40 kills 2 loss recieved little reward and the low scorer 8 kills 8 loss was high fund earner at 508 crystals Woodburner guarded the flag and enabled us to win it is not fair  to all players. The game right now has a higher than normal rage play going on with players fighting own team members for positions and  sabotaging each other actually team loss at times I would suggest u fix this quick  also comments elswhere U will leave a team early if its losing for there is now reward  and no  team will to win  I have actually seen this stated on team chats

[Promissory 569]

i played a lot and after 2 or 3 hours i disconnected without one crystal ! in noise , combe , arena and others ! i earn just 200 crystals today after 4 or 5 hours  :D

I get you bro, I usually get at least 2k in 4 hours. Now in 6 hours, I barely get 500 crystals ;_; Too many druggers in DM, and CTF is a big NO

[keenk2n 18]

finally tanki made good decision 

[Electrisida 62]

In my opinion, this has indeed escalated the value of crystals by a fierce amount however the downsized effect given on crystals has made them too hard to stockpile; therefore, the crystals that you could usually get by playing the game are NOT added to the battle fund whatsoever.

 

Some of you might think this update will scare away mults (and to a point defeats that purpose). But you have to think about something, when I first started playing Tanki Online, the crystals were rare, but not impossible to find. With the predictable drops update, the crystals are not rare, and very easy to find. Now with this update, there are no crystals in the game. So that gives us our pros and cons.

 

Cons:

1.) There's no crystals in the game.

2.) You have to wait until the end of the battle to get your crystals (trust me, I never liked the idea of earning the majority of the crystals by just killing and not having any multiplayer skills involved. You can easily kill more than someone else if you have a better weapon; but not necesarily a better gamer than your opponent/opponents).

3.) Gold box's notification is instant and the only chance of collecting it is by luck and not experience in the gameplay (maybe a little, but think about it, if the box drops automatically you have no chance of getting it when doing parkour stunts, therefore the luckiest user {perhaps the newest user} will get it out of the blue).

4.) Strategy isn't involved in the battle much anymore if at all (with the exception of fighting).

 

There, you have four cons, but it's like; you know, you'll get over it. Think about it...

 

Pros:

1.) No more mults!

2.) No more farming!

3.) No more getting crystals by pure luck (you have to fight to get your crystals)!

4.) The game is automatically a fair game once this is implemented because therebye capturing flags, points, kills, gains you crystals so you're not always focused on a chance to prove yourself and takes out more people waiting for stuff.

 

So I mean, there's pros and cons, but sometimes you have to get rid of things to add them; so in this case; Semyon Kirov and his crew did a good job. Especially knowing most of the things the users don't know and perhaps you're all wrong. Who knows.

 

And, don't forget, this is temporary, only for a week. So by the feedback they're gathering they'll be able to build the game up and giving negative feedback without it being constructive isn't going to help; obviously they're not going to just trash the update so it's not like saying "NO MORE CRYSTALS" is going to help. They need constructive feedback, feedback that will tell them what they need done and how to get it done, not stuff like "Delete this update it sucks". Tell me, then - why does it suck? Why should they delete it? - "Because there's no more crystals!". - What do you think changing the update once-and-for-all will do to the game and why will it be useful when Tanki Online staff are completely re-designing the game in the first place? - "idk"

 

They need constructive feedback if they're going to chance ANYTHING. Constructive, constructive, contructive.

 

My feedback: I think it would be perfect if the values of the crystals were kept (1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, etc.) but the predictable drops got deleted. Then, there would be no mults, AND, keep the gold box will be dropped soon notification. So then the only downside would be people constantly acting like gold boxes are dropping (which isn't much of a problem anyways).

 

This way, most of the problems are instantly solved. Think about it.
