Join the experiment with crystal drops

[JoelStep 20]

Just experimented and... not happy. And here is the reason:

 

Not always I can stay until the end of the battle. Sometimes I just have something else to do, some other times (right now) technical problems arise (thank you windows for deciding that it was time for an update!).

 

When this happens at least I get the crystals collected from the boxes, not much but enough to pay the next micro-upgrade. This time instead I've been playing for about an hour and now have the same crystals that I had before.

 

It might be good for players with a lot of free time, but it dissuades short game rounds.

 

Cheers,

 

JS

Thank you very much for getting rid of the crystals!!!

You have now made it a true/pure tank battle game.

The battles are so much better now - everyone is fighting.  You can't just sit back and collect crystals.  You only earn by fighting (they way it should be).  Thanks again!!! PLEASE keep it this way.

What I think is that there should be 10 crystals boxes as it was before and so there will be no confusion and no mess and no multing.

THNAKS FOR THE NEW UPDATE, THE OLD ONE SUCKED, NOW EVERY PLAYER WILL GET AN EQUAL PART OF THE BATTLE FUND.... AND THE GAME WILL NOT BE FULL OF DISTARCTIONS TOO !!! :)

THE GOLDBOX WILL COME FASTER, WHICH MEANS, HIGHER CHANCES OF GETTING A GOLDBOX !!! COOL... I LOVE THIS UPDATE
Q : WILL THE GOLDBOXES BECOME LESS FREQUENT DUE TO HIGHER BATTLE FUNDS IN ALL THE MATCHES ??? -_- :huh:

This is nothing new.   The update didn't cause this.

 

When players do this, just forget about flags and just cruise around going for kills.

 

You'll end up with more points then them.

[vhan_helsing_2 1]

please no, the gold falls too fast not to be opportunities to better than take it, it's crystals are a fundamental part of tani online !! crystals in boxes without crystals in boxes would not make sense! crystals 100 are good to put back again please

what did you just say? higher chance of getting gold? you are out of your mind when you get killed and dont know where the gold is gonna be dropped and then suddenly gold drops someone takes it and then what are you do?

Every time TO makes an "improvement" , TO spoils the game a bit more . . .

This last one is illogical , if you eliminate the crystal dropbox and increase the battle fund is like to have a double fund battles permanently.

One day TO drop boxes with 1 , 5 , 10 , 20 , 50 and 100 crystals ( very interesting and strategic problem to decide what to do in the battle , specially when you are carried a flag and see a 100 crystals box )  , and at the next day TO eliminates all the crytals boxs !

What is the sense ?

[luka2_tanker 0]

is very bad i want gold boxzes and crystals please gold box 

 

[Guest Maserati]

my opinion: gold is falling way tooo fast

and cry drops removal is bad for some people as some do not have enough time to play and they will earn 0 cry each battle. you should just reduce the rarity of cry drops

[PuncherTank 37]

Decent update! Now the only way to get rewarded is to participate in the actual game play.

However, I have the following two suggestions:

1. The crystal boxes are an amusing feature of TO. So, if they must remain in the game I suggest you make them of a value ranging from 1-5 crystals only, and drop less frequently ANYWHERE in the map with no specific drop zones. The ratio could be 50 crystals worth of boxes (for example, 30 "1 crystal boxes" + 5 "2 crystal boxes" + 2 "5 crystal boxes") for every 1000 in the battle fund.

This means more reward for players in the battle fund instead of crystal boxes, but we'd still have the cool feature of crystal boxes in a nominal sense that doesn't make it attractive to mults or distractive to players.

2. The instantly-dropping Gold Box can be made fall from a higher spot so that everyone has a better chance of seeing it and getting to the spot before it reaches the ground.

HOW BOUT' ONLY 100'S AND 50'S

AND OLD GOLD PLZZ

[robotbeep 22]

nooooo im not a buyer and crystal boxes are my main source of crystals

no please semyon kirov not nice back please

That is why, as of today we’ve removed crystal boxes from the game as an experiment. Crystals that would have dropped in boxes, will instead be added to the battle fund as many of you suggested.

 

 

Finaly smart change, to stop those crygethers who only fill spot in team and do wery litle in game. They colect more cry (100)boxes than players with flag.

Maby let boxes of 5cry and distribute game fond also to loosing team (with 0 flag) becouse they also played and they should get some.

Wow, this is perfect.  The previous change had turned it into a "collect the crystal" game (baby game if you ask me).

I would win a battle and collect maybe 200 crystals (10-15 min game).  While these guys with no kills would get 300, 400, 500 crystals.  Please keep it this way.  Everyone is fighting now - it's great!!!

[fah.123 3]

THIS SUUUUCKS !!! the idea of more crystals in the boxes was a good idea - the problem however was the amount in each box after the battle fund goes past 1000 . People fought over the boxes because there was too much in each box . Instead of the crystals varying from 1 - 100 , make it so that the crystal boxes vary from 10 - 50 crystals . This will reduce silly fights and and make better team play ( ​so others don't camp and wait for boxes to drop while the rest of the team does all the hard work )   ;)  :P  :D   give this a try and look at the results - hopefully it will be pleasing - Thanks

 

TANKI IS THE BEST GAME EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub: 

[shockwave80 11]

NOOOO, PUT CRYSTAL BOXES BACK IN THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
