Gold boxes

[yassinelegh 2]

They should add more gold boxes. (increase the chance of the gold's drop.)

[Xxemo_dinoxX 934]

I do agree. It seems they need to fall a lot more often, for they are difficult to catch for most tankers.

[lordmostafa 3,821]

It does drop more often now because of the new update, the crystal removal update. Why? Because all the crystals are added to the fund and the Gold's drop chance depends on the crystals added to the fund. The Gold's chance to drop is 1/7000 for each crystal added to the fund, and now, because of the crystals update, a lot more crystals are added to the fund and thus increasing the chances of it dropping.

 

That is the reason before the crystal update, when there are double funds, a lot of Golds drop, more often without double funds.

its already been done.

Do you really think it has been increased? If the chance of it dropping is 1/7000 that means every 7000 it should of dropped. Well during the DF we just had I played a 35K fund and not 1 Gold fell. Also now that crystals have been removed less Golds are falling. I used to get 3-6 alarm minimum  now I'm lucky to get 3.

 

Semyon did say Golds will drop more, they did for the first few days, after that rarer then they were before....

I don't think you understood my post if I may say. You see, each time you kill someone it adds crystals to the fund, correct? Lets say it adds 10 crystals, each crystal form those 10 has a 1/7000 chance of making a Gold drop, imagine it as a roulette with 7000 slots with only 1 slot with a Gold, when it spins, if it stops on that 1 slot, a Gold drops. And with this new update, all the crystals that were supposed to drop are know add to the fund, that is why I said the chances of a Gold are higher because a lot more crystals get add which means more wheels to spin which means more chances of a Gold, get it? :P

Get it, but still, it's you the one that doesn't understand. What the boys said is that it ought to fall more often, but it doesn't. Regardles  the theory.

[Maf 32,356]

it ought to fall more often, but it doesn't. 

Where is your proof? The only way to have definite data about this change is if you sat through thousands of hours in battles before AND after the update and constantly recorded all the gold boxes. Only then you would have somewhat reliable results about the change in the gold box drop rate.

[opidude 437]

its true doe it doesnt fall tht often anymore :( it used to drop like 20 times a week for me before,, but lately after the new update, only 4 - 5 drop each week :(

You're more fun when you don't talk bussiness... But then again, doesn't that apply to all?  :P

 

Ok, here's my answer.

 

First, what I wrote is not my statement, it's an explanation of what lukey0 and Dark.shado meant according to my understanding. It's them that said that goldbox doesn't fall as often as it was supposed to do. I think I was clear enough about it.

 

Second, btw since you ask, I do believe that goldboxes don't fall as often as they where supposed to fall (just like the boys I mentioned do). However, I didn't say that in the forum because I don't have the slightest intention of spending my precious time gathering evidence and complaining about that (I have one or two other things to complain about, why complain about this that requires more effort on my behalf?)..

 

Third, since I don't complain about that, why should I prove anything? I don't have to prove anything to me. I believe it, it agrees with my experience and I accept it as a given (among other issues of fiscal nature), same way, for instance, I accept as a given that I am made to use drugs more often than I would like to. If you ever see me starting a topic about goldboxes that don't fall as often as they should, feel free to ask me about proofs.  :rolleyes: 

 

 

p.s. I really like your vocabulary... not many forum participants have the same linguistic efficiency... Well done!  :)

It also depends on what type of battle mode you play. As lordmostafa said above, golds will fall more often as the crystals that would drop are added to the fund. I find most golds fall in CP and capture the flag as in CP if the point is always being attacked heavily, it makes the battle fund vary quickly, that will help trigger the gold. In capture the flag if everyone plays actively and gets kills it increases the fund. See what I mean: http://prntscr.com/5ob43v

When I said "where is your proof", the "your" addressed everyone else with the same mindset, not just you. You don't have to prove anything, but I don't understand why you so confidently state that the gold boxes DON'T fall more often, when you don't have the information to base your conclusions off it. But then again, you just recited what the others said, so my question is more for them.

Yes Agreed 

 

1 Gold box if we miss damn wait looooong time for another.

 

or

 

Divide gold Box into 3 Parts!! 350 350 350 . Let it fall Same time all 3 together !!!!!

Its a pain when it sometimes come at a 1v1 at 100 Bf but not at all at like a 20k+ fund,

 

And yes, i did play all time and i do :)

Less golds...dont know how to give proof,by recording each and every

Of my battles?:mellow:

Information that proves decreased ratio of goldboxes (that is, evidence) is required in case someone doubts or someone believes it and wants to prove it to others.

In my case, my belief is based on my experience. Being a very stable kind of player (90% of my battles are CTF in Serpuhov, teams of 5 to 10 players each) I observed that frequency of goldboxes is decreased since some time after  TO canceled the crystal drops. I am rather confident about it, but I see no point to make a relative topic. I deal with the cost of Tanki in a conclusive manner and just wait to see where this is going. No need to elaborate more, I think, do I? Let's call it a day and spend our time in more pleasant matters  :) 

 

EDIT; One last remark, I can positively say that for the battles I mentioned an average 2 times of goldbox per battle is valid for the last weeks. Or maybe, a little over 2, say 2,3. What I could really prove though, is the average score, since I have an archive of the total battle score for 99% of the battles I played during the last few months. Encrease of battle funds after the merging of drops with score funds is visible, as well as any fluctuation in the between..  ;)
