Gold Box drop zones

[arun24 6]

Hello, have you ever noticed that the gold box drop zones are in certain areas that arent very accessible to a  team if one team is already controlling it? Especially in long range maps... Tanki thinks that you have 10 seconds to find the drop zone when you ignite your self destruction. Thats true, but you need to do this as soon as you see the notification. When you self destruct the server finds  a respawn point and respawns you there, however your tank still has to load and take a solid form. This whole process takes up to 4 seconds depending on your software and hardware. Ive had situations where i get to the drop zone in time but i didnt take solid form yet, other tanks drove right through me and you can tell what happened from there on.

 

Does anyone think that Gold box drop zones should be in the center of the map and not in team bases? Based on what i said, with the 14 second processing respawn time, and the fact that teams have control of their bases do you think that the gold box drop zones should be redesigned?

Agree strongly. About 20 minutes ago, I had 2 golds drop within a minute of each other on Serpy. Both were in the enemy spawn base, thus I didn't get either of them.

It is kind of an idea, you know...

I find this system perfect. Sometimes it falls on your side, sometimes the enemy's side - a disadvantage and an advantage. Or sometimes it drops somewhere in the corner where it lies for about 3 minutes before someone finds it :P

So you like finding the drop zone, getting killed and by the time you respawn you get the opportunity to read "_____ has taken the gold box"

It would be more fair, yes.

arun24, it really depends of the shape of the map. For example Noise. There are drop zones in red and blue base. But if you are in red team, you can still jump and get the gold in the blue base. But I admit that red team has a little advantage in this map.

 

On the other hand, Silence. Blue team has a huge advantage. There are like 3 or 4 drop zones in the base. And you can also jump to get golds in the middle. There is also one spot in red team that is ridiculous, it's under the small ramp, it's almost impossible for a blue player to get it.

 

For Dusseldord, Kolhoz and Kungur... These three maps are so big. If Gold falls in enemy base, you will probably never find the spot. At this point, it's just luck.

Not true. I like finding the drop zone, hide and not stand on the spot in stupidity, and go when it is near to read 'Sr.I3oSS has taken the gold box'.

I agree, but find the Gold zone is just luck - usually, when a gold drops, most players rush to the middle to find the drop zone. While one player finds the drop zone and 'acts' like he doesn't know where it is. I'd like some team drop zones to stay, just not all of them; an example: in Silence, I'd like the drop zone in the blue base next to that tower removed. A Mammy can sit over it and it's pretty much game over.

Also in Noise, the two ramps on the West and South side have drop zones... Some fatty just has to sit there and troll everyone.

Sorry been somewhat busy. I will try and promote the topic.

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

Agreed, but only on certain maps though... My suggestion is just change the drop zones in some maps that have the problem. Like Stadium for example, it's either in the middle, or totally away from one of the teams.

They often drop *In* the team territories.
