Plane

[BlitzPanzer12345 241]

Oh, so the Jet won't be parked above the mark for the whole 20-30 seconds?

It'll just arrive in 1 second, and leave ASAP? A really quick animation that not many will see. . . .Eh. . .Don't see the need for this .. . No point.

But as Metalcrusher said, it's best for Unity then.

 

You should edit the main topic. You leave out details like that.

jet is not as fast as light

so it can be seen delivering gold box [ time = around 2-3 second enough for people to see "Clearly" ]

like paratroopers jumping out of a plane

[Maf 32,317]

You Mean that doesn't have any effect? It Can Make you miss a gold box-

This is caused by lag, which is to do with problens in your internet connection. The suggested plane animation will only impact the FPS, but a lower FPS can also lead to a less pleasant/more difficult and frustrating game.

 

P.S. I know dat feel with the gold...

 

 

 

 

[Maf 32,317]

Lool.

What?! What would a normal plane be doing in a battle field filled with tanks?

Obviously more like a jet or something. "Stealth" jet, get it? Since it can't be shot? :mellow:

A jet doesn't carry and drop boxes. Usually a plane that drops supplies for the troops below is quite large, like a bomber. Anyway, let's first see if this while idea has any chance of happening. Also, do keep in mind that because of the way the camera works in this game, I don't think you see much of the top image of the skybox, so a plane animation moving across the top will never be seen by players. An actual 3D model in the air would be a lot more visible, but that would reduce the FPS even more than the animated skybox...

goldbox is already hard enough to get with nobody or little people around.

^ what ? - _ -

[lordmostafa 3,821]

Nice idea, but like all visual additions this one is likely to increase server lag, so I'm not sure if I want to sacrifice ping and FPS for a plane animation...

Also in large maps 10's of supplies drop each second, how will that work? Having 10 planes driving in the sky, passing each other and glitching out because of interacting with each other, that wont be so good for the FPS..

[BlitzPanzer12345 241]

plz read for heaven's sake !

itz for Gold Box ONLY !!

[lordmostafa 3,821]

Oh, my mistake. Sorry )

[delnina2 1,570]

It will makes lags . When Gold Box will be dropped I will lag ! What did you we do in it ? Nothing . Bad Idea . 

 

And a plane ? ? Really ? This is tanki . Not plany . Bad Idea . 

[liverpoolaum 811]

its a awesome idea

[I.WalkAlone 548]

Won't work in maps like gravity.

The gold box doesn't fall from a parachute in gravity. It simply materializes.

[liverpoolaum 811]

ohh is it i never noticed 

[Maf 32,317]

 This is tanki . Not plany . 

:D The reason Tanki is called like that is because in Russian a word is made plural by adding an "i" on the end, so the game is actually called Tanks Online.

u mad ?

its just skybox

and as i said there r no chances of lag

:P

 

Won't work in maps like gravity.

i know that

itz only for the one with parachutes

[Maf 32,317]

 as i said there r no chances of lag

How do you know?

[BlitzPanzer12345 241]

How do you know?

because as i said when it changes from static to dynamic skybox

the loss percentage is low

but it varies from internet connection to internet connection

:)

[Pride.In.Blood 629]

Interesting, it would also give people a better chance of predicting where the Gold Box will fall... 

 

I'd say this sounds like a good idea. :)

 

Nice idea, but like all visual additions this one is likely to increase server lag, so I'm not sure if I want to sacrifice ping and FPS for a plane animation...

[deadtoyou 2,502]

I think this is a great idea, the only problem that seems to surface again and again is the lag issue.

If you could come up with a different ways that the box is dropped without causing too much lag, then the #1 problem will be solved.

 

Example: #1 Instead of a plane flying overhead, why not make it a helicopter? (something that stays in one place)

Example #2 A drone would work also, one that appears over the drop point and drops the Gold Box from a compartment.

 

(I'm not sure if the rotors from the helicopter or the drone would cause lag)

 

I do agree with , I think that if you are lagging when the Gold falls, you have less of a chance of getting it.

I just hope that we can find a way to have an animation and not lag, it would be cool.

[JJ410 221]

Then the animation should also apply to supply drops.

That would be too much...

[deadtoyou 2,502]

That would be too much...

Agreed. +1

wow, that sucks. that happens all the time for me, but it never happens with gold box. I just have never been that close to a gold before.

frankly, im surprised that only you are there

He had just taken it, see the Gold Box inside his tank?

[genak138 950]

No, he hadn't. That's why it's inside his tank and floating up showing that he got it. If you would read the quote, you would know that he said himself that a lag can make you miss a gold.
