Join the experiment with crystal drops

[semyonkirov 29,038]

Collecting crystal boxes has been a part of Tanki Online from its earliest stages. However, it didn’t affect gameplay that much – boxes contained a modest number of crystals and collecting them wasn’t worth the time and effort. Plus, they would disappear over time. When developing the new drop box logics, we modeled crystal drops after supply boxes, without assuming that it would escalate the situation. The open testing didn’t unravel this problem either, as each account there had more than enough crystals so there was no reason to collect crystal drops. On release day, we thought that the complaints of tankers were caused due to doubled battle funds, which result in a larger number of crystals in drops.

However, we’ve recently changed our attitude towards feedback. We’ve started assessing and analyzing constructive feedback in the forum, counting positive and negative replies, and monitoring battle chats. This has helped us identify where the real problem lies. And we thank you for that!

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. Gold boxes are dropped right after the notification, so as not to distract players from teamplay, and give everybody a shot at catching the gold. The experiment will be on until next week. We will then specify our next steps.

Enter the game, take part in battles and make sure you tell us your impressions below. Any solution can be improved, and your feedback will help us do that!

This is quite weird but, the gold will still drop right ?

Yes it will. More often actually, as the fund now grows faster.

Well done

[ArcticCow 454]

Right after the siren goes srsly what if someone isa playing in a large map and then des the moment the sire goes off there is no chance for him for getting it. If i read it correctly.

[zainslimshady 474]

finally some good battles to play :D

 

edit:- i am thinking about low rank players well if they have bad equipment then it is going to become more hard for them. to get to high ranks with better equipment. the only option left for them is to buy crystals. and overall it will make buyers more OP. as they dont rely much on drops and they will simply buy drugs and turn the matches around. 

 

i am not a buyer so right now i am short on drugs. without drugs it will become hard to win matches. and i will not get any crystals.

 

 

so the 10 box drops were cool. like i can pick it up while attacking enemy or defending base. it was not a big distraction except on double funds day.

but i am all cool with this update.

Epic :O

[unholycloak5 1,814]

Yus! So, more like, double funds for a week or just a bit higher fund?

[Raredust 454]

Crystal boxes being added to the fund sounds good. Though I hope Gold Box drops will be put back the way they were. Besides, "Gold box will be dropped soon" is classic now. :P
