valid Reworking of "underground" Gold boxes

[omrot 2,327]

I think we have all rage quitted a game at least once just because the gold box was pretty much impossible to catch. Those gold boxes are mostly known as Underground Goldboxes. For anyone whom have never heard of/seen those golds you are lucky , they are golds that just appear on the ground without the 'dropping from the sky' part. This happens because their drop zones are beneath a platform or any obstacle that could block their way to the ground.

 

It is so frustrating when you see the notification "Goldbox will be dropped soon" and as you drive through the whole map you see the regular 'crowd' on the drop zone but this time the mammoth that sits comfortably on the sign will have a 100% chance to catch it. That is because the box will just pop into his hull and award him with 1000 crystals (sometimes even more).

 

This can be really annoying for light hulls as the best technique for them to get a gold is by going on other tanks. It can also be quite frustrating for Dictators that use this hull to have a better chance in getting the shiny box.

 

In my opinion, the beauty of Goldboxes is that they slowly fall from the sky and everyone await in excitement. The whole point is to fight for it, stack on each other and do some wicked parkour to catch it ;) .

 

My request is simple, move those 'Underground Drop Zones' to a location visible from the sky. This could make my game and many others' games much more exciting and thrilling.

 

Thank you in advance,

Yes it can be annoying, but getting gold boxes with Mammoth and Titan can be extremely difficult. On large maps like Serpuhov there's a very low chance that you'll even be able to get to the gold box and even if you do get there and sit on the spot, you can still get destroyed before you catch it or, more commonly, some light hull just climbs on top of you and takes the gold instead.

 

I'd say that it's OK if heavy hulls always take these underground golds. The only glitch that needs to be fixed with these spawning golds is the one that always gives the gold to the tank on top, if the lower tank is low enough to let the tank on top touch the gold box slightly when it spawns. What I mean is that if there is a Viking sitting on top of an "underground" gold spot and another tank climbs on top, it will always be the upper tank taking the gold when it spawns, even though the Viking was closer to it and got there first.

How often do mammoths get one that requires parkour. Yea. None. Leave them underground.

And what the heck is that picture all about?  :wacko:

^Thats the most annoying thing with spawning golds. Had same thing on Noise - used hunter and wasp on top of me got gold for specific reason.

lol dont make me laugh, dont them dictators already get a lot of golds because of their imba hit box and

them just climbing everything they hit?

Ok but who's going to be dull enough to bring a mammoth or titan to serperov? I think there is little to no point of having underground gold boxes, it gives an unfair advantage to certain players catching them

Well, defenders will bring them. 

And unfair advantage are for teams which get golds on their spawn base? Maybe remove them too?

Same for Dictators - they get golds for their height.

Most gold box locations give certain players an advantage. I don't think there are any which are completely fair, which is why there are so many random options on each map. Gold boxes are just an extra little bonus that developers decided to add to spice the game up a little. They are not an essential part of gameplay, so I don't think there's any point in spending so much time and effort into making them balanced and fair for everyone. If gold boxes matter to you so much - use the equipment that you think gives you the most advantage for catching them.

It must have been a very small map because Mammoth takes an absolute age travel anywhere.   It would normally be pure chance that it was in the correct place.  You appear miffed because you could not use your advantage of speed over Mammoth and he used his Mass over you .  It is just sower grapes on your part.

It was Noise, but it also happens on so many different maps

Your internet probably lagged so when you clicked quote the first time it didn't show up so you clicked it a second time and then posted it which by then was too late. You can just edit the post and remove on of the quotes and delete parts of the quoted post or put it all in a spoiler. Mods will see it as flood.

first part I agree; the second nope

I mean if a guy gets on top of another tanker for a underground goldbox, only when it's spawms the closet one to the dropbox (also if you're on it) gets it

You are probably correct. I have experienced problems posting.

Title edited from 'Removal of "Underground" Goldboxes' to 'Reworking of "Underground" Goldboxes'

 

I think we can all agree that underground goldboxes is rarer than dropped goldboxes and that tankers with small fast tanks shouldn't really be complaining about the little treat fat tanks get every now an then.

---

Now about those underground goldboxes, what can be made to improve upon them?  Reasonable suggestions please.

Remove them??? :P

 

Nah, I'd say make the drop zone bigger so that it can drop anywhere in a 3x3 (example) area rather than a 1x1

This is how i exactly got one gold days ago .. same situation .. viking was down and i climbed him out of frustration , suddenly gold taken by me  :huh:

[fahad_the_GREAT 208]

Let things be as they are, let fat tanks take some of golds as well.

If you see a mammy sitting on a dropzone, drug and kill him.

I guess they're called spawn golds? Maybe, maybe not.

 

And anyway, you'll observe that if you're on top of another tank on top of a spawn gold zone, you'll still get the gold box.

Only if it's a low tank like Viking. Mammoth, Dictator and possibly Titan are all tall enough to completely conceal the gold box within their hull when it spawns, therefore the tank on top will not be touching the box and will not take it.

[applications_tanki 129]

I have a solution

 

Take away goldboxes perminatly!
