Gold Boxes


Recommended Posts

Hello! I was thinking that would fall more often gold boxes. But not all of 1000.

For example, would fall 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and sometimes 5000 and 10,000 boxes.

About a battle would fall 3-4 gold box. 3-4 but contain less diamond.

10, 50 and 100 crystals are not gold boxes - they're just crystal boxes which were removed from the game with no chance of returning. 5000 and 10000 boxes are very valuable so if there was a 10% chance of a gold box costing 10k and a 30% chance of it being 5k, it would still make the overall average cost of gold boxes a lot more, therefore they would fall a lot more rarely.

then it should be 500, and rarely fall 5000 and 10000 :D

Some other alternatives to just having one single box drop worth 1000 crystals

 

drop four 250 crystal boxes in different locations

drop two 500 crystal boxes in different locations

drop one 750 crystal box and a 250 crystal box in different locations

 

Also during holiday events instead of dropping one crystal box worth EX:3000 crystals, drop three 1000 crystal boxes. I suggest that these alternatives have a sightly greater probability than the regular 1000 crystal box.

It will still be 1/ 7000 chance for a 1000 crystal equivalent box(s) to drop, however it would then be pick from the equivalents as to which combination will be dropped

 

four 250 boxes would be 3/ 4

two 500 boxes would be 2/ 4

one 750 and a 250 box would be 2/4

one 1000 crystal box would be 1/4

 

As the notification pops up/ Sirens go off it would tell players which combination will be dropped. NOTE: if it drops EX: four 250 boxes, it will drop all of them at the same time this will reduce the chances that the same person catches more than one box at a time.

 

PROs

 

Spread out players even more during gold box notifications

Greater chance of there being more than one winner

 

CONs

 

You win less crystals at that point in time

 

By keeping the total value of crystals dropped during the notification unchanged, it allows more players to catch them more often while not giving them more crystals as to the current value.

I think it should have:

-about ten locations for the goldbox 1000

-five for goldbox 2500 (purple notification)

-three for goldbox 5000 (green notification)

-one for goldbox 10000 (blue notification)

 

It still will be 1/7000 chance for goldbox to drop, though and it depends how long is the battle

It's kind of funny how players try to get around the rules by asking for "Minor" changes to the Gold Box system.

 

This will have the same effect as Crystal Boxes, and Ideas regarding changes to the Gold Box's value are not accepted.

1. I didnt change the gold boxes value, If you read my post it says 'total value dropped will STILL be 1000 crystals'

 

What im asking for is, if they could split the gold boxes value so theres more than one winner, not increase for decrease its value

 

2. I did not ask to change the gold boxes value to example: 900 crystals

 

Theres a difference between changing the actual value of a gold box and splitting it up into smaller boxes

Splitting the Gold Box into smaller ones just makes them more and more like crystal boxes, which are not coming back into the game.

The value of an item is how much it's worth, and changes like these to the Gold Box changes it's value to players. (<--This is for a literal translation.)

Now, having the GB split between players....Eh. The GB would lose it's excitement because more than 1 player can get crystals, it would be less interesting to fight for, and not to mention less motivating.

"More than one winner" How is this sensible? What games have more than one winner?

It sounds more like you are frustrated at others taking the Gold Box. I feel for you, but IMO, this is not a good solution.

Agreed it would feel a little less exciting.

 

Actually I havent played much past few months so I havent really experienced that frustration with todays gold boxes (Predictable drops + added drop locations). Came up with this based on other players frustration, there being way more drop locations per map even with light hulls/ double speed you may never even get to check half of all the locations. That is if you even know all the locations, not to mention drop zones that favor one team vs the other (im talking about it dropping right on one teams spawn). 

 

Seeing that this idea would lessen its excitement I then would suggest that they change the gold box locations so that its positioned more fairly like repair kit drops. Having so many drop locations makes it just as unfair as it was before with heavy hulls dominating drop locations. Im looking for more of an in between of there being enough locations so that a few players cant dictate all the locations while not having too many so that players dont end up getting lost looking for it.

This idea was implemented for a while a few months back and failed the system. We.....don't want to go back to that awful week  :wacko:  :unsure:
