Join the experiment with crystal drops

[spino.ska 19]

I really like this update, especially in CTF: teamwork is improved and the additional reward in battle funds goes to players who really fight for the team. With crystal boxes instead, absurdly a player could earn crystals doing nothing for the team, or worse being a burden.

 

I have a question for players who want the boxes back, just to help me understand “the big picture”. How many crystals did you succeed in earning (average), for example in 1 hour of gameplay, just catching 10 cry boxes? I don’t collect boxes so I can’t really speculate a value.

 

A “win win” solution could be to enable crystal boxes only in DM, since every player is on his own there.

Kirby 2008 says players' complaints lack specifics....

 

Oh?   Have you actually READ any of these comments?  I have.

 

There are plenty of specific complaints, with many of the same complaints listed multiple times.

 

Druggers are dominating most games now, and winning most of the crystals.

 

I suggest changing the name of "Tanki" to "Druggie".

Too right Kirby is a hypocrite

The Gold Box when you here that it is going to drop, it dose not give you time to see where it is falling to and makes it so hard to get there to the gold box.  I liked it better the other way.

[JPBTanker 1]

Honestly, the update is decent . It promotes more team play, not camp for crystals like some players did but  the gold box is my main problem. It drops to fast, sometimes it all depends by luck if you happen to be near the drop zone and sometimes you don't even get a chance as the gold drops exactly when you die or are respawning.

 

If they change the gold box to drop at least 10 seconds after the notification then I don't have any big complaints on the update although a 10 or even 5 crystal box drops wouldn't harm the game if they dropped sometimes, in my opinion they were not to distracting (unlike the 50 or 100 boxes) and players still played the objective, and for lower ranks it can help them get a bit more crystals faster seeing how the battle fund grows so slow on lower rank battles.

 

EDIT: After playing for some time now i noticed alot of druggers and EVERYONE camps at the flag, its impossible to complete a no time limit game anymore unless you get lucky. please fix this

Team Battles :-  Such A Waste Update  -_- 
Death Matches :-  More Skill Needed 
Although It Destroys Mults And Sabotages I Still Miss The Excitement And Fun At Those Picking Crystal Boxes  :lol:

I bet the devs will be having a hard time deciding what to do.50% still want back the old 10 crystals.

The best way for me that makes gamers play seriously is to remove the Crystal Boxes and increase the funds. Actually the funds are so small that players prefer to catch the Crystal Boxes instead of playing, specially when it is a team battle.

It's more than 50%.

Actually they may have a hard time to deside how to promote their next idea that will make drugs more nesessary -_-

 

As for this one, anyone that reads the 125 pages (not even all of them, 1/2 is enough) can read very good solutions / alterations to this experiment that will benefit most players' game.

Only hard core high ranks tactitians want it as it is and only 12 and 13 yo players cry in huge letters "bring my crystals back!"

Apart from them, decent proposals to everyone's benefit have been stated, most of them including return to some form of crystal drops and promoting somehow the heavy loosing team so that all get satisfied.

why the crystals boxes got removed and the gold box systems is not good because its come and "gold box just dropped" not good why its not "gold box will dropped soon" and u find the gold box and u caths it CRYSTAL BOXES BACK

[PrinceMalagant 35]

...  or a random place to drop it, I say. ( not in the middle of the square in Serpuhov  ;) )

Here's a cheat I am seeing in almost every CTF game now....

 

A group of players, either clan members or just friends set up a CTF game, and then get on opposing teams.  

 

They take turns drugging and multing.

 

Who gets cheated?  The non-group players who join these games.  They lose and most of the time they have no idea why.  They leave and are replaced by other naïve players, and the cycle goes on and on.....

 

Yes, this used to happen in the past but it is happening more often because ....

 

THE LATEST UPDATE FAVORS CHEATERS!!!!

 

Organized cheaters now get most of the crystals and honest players get almost nothing.

 

Why even bother to play any more?

 

Tanki has become a sewer where the rats rule.

WIth both my accounts I managed to catch 5 gold boxes. You know what? Current gold box system is MUCH better. :P

Now, it's hard to find balanced battle.

 

If you win, it's boring because there are low ranks in the enemy team. Or enemy left and it's a 10vs5 or something like that. So this is not fun.

 

And if you lose, it's also boring because you got killed over and over because you are 5 or 6 against 10 noobs druggers. And you get 0 crystals. Players of losing team have no interest to stay in the battle.

 

So, basically, this is what I think about this update :

 

so ture

I've seen this too, and I agree that adding to the battle fund is only encouraging cheating. This is why I suggested to pay the player directly, like the XP system does. This way the good players on both teams get crystals, however the old style battlefund still gets split up like before, so there is still an incentive to be on the winning side. This whole idea is excellent and really rewards team players. Which is the whole point.

 

and for those who still don't get it 

This is a test, not a permanent update.
