valid Reworking of "underground" Gold boxes

[TheRollingSlab 803]

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 probably the best solution. Not only because there is a bigger area for the gold to spawn,but also more players can see it. For example, if a Mammoth parks on a spawn location in the current game, if he positions himself right, no one can see the drop zone, which gives him a massive advantage.

Take away goldboxes perminatly!

permanently*

but its already hard enough trying to hide it with my Viking :P while also trying to look like I just respawned right there and am afk...

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

About for most of these gold box zones, there is enough space above the drop zones to have a dropping animation(the ones in noise are a good example) so we can just give it a dropping animation. For the ones that are actually underground like in the tunnels in Silence or Iran, maybe we should have the gold hover at the top of the tunnel and then suddenly drop down on the zone.

I, As a rail-hornet playing in madness CTF, 16VS16 , A hostile dictator-twins was beside me, and the gold was to be dropped on the ground and I was as usual, lagging badly.. So 3/4th of my life was gone as of the twins XC.. Then gold suddenly appeared on ground and I just thrusted my hand into the Up arrow key and Lo- my lag took me there and I got the gold and surprisingly, there was no-one on the drop zone- everyone around it only..

Most people think it will drop from above and not appear.. Thats 1., 2. Mammoths just cannot sit like that on a drop zone in madness, its too big a map shafts will hammer that thing.. Even on silence, in tunnel, who the hells gonna carry a mammoth there and not get killed ? Obviously, if its a heavy drugger yeah.. but 2-3 mines and over..! This Idea is fine, but It takes the fun away!

I think this is just a variable in the game. What you're saying here is very one sided. You claim that Wasps are disadvantaged, but in some situations it is quite the opposite and it is the Mammoth that is left without an opportunity to catch the Gold Box as the Wasps will simply jump on top and coast around a bit. A Wasp doesn't even need to jump on top, it can simply pop the front of its hull in the air and drive on top. So in some situations, it's better to be a big, heavy hull, whereas in others, there are distinct advantages to having a light, nimble hull.

I think ading a shaft for the gold to be dropped and raising the ceiling of the whereabouts where the gold will drop might help make the experience more "enjoyable"

[DageLV 940]

NOONE will ever read this, but there is my suggestion about this.

If gold is going to pop up, then replace GoldBox will be DROPPED soon to GoldBox will pop-up soon!

Also you said Light hulls have a chance, dictators have a chance and so on But why mammoths cant get a chance to get that gold?

[cube3e 1,973]

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,

You do not know how much I agree with you, so far the only map I've been in which has such an annoying drop zone is Noise.

[VALKYRIE_RULER 215]

I think its fair because if a wasp goes on a mammoth which is on the mark, the wasp will most likely get it because he is above him i have seen this happen many time

[VALKYRIE_RULER 215]

No!

Some maps have only one or two places where it spawns. So everyone will know it's one of those two spots.. Where's the fun in that? :D

[xX_I.Love.Her_Xx 2,650]

If it drops, player that is skilled gets it. If it spawns player that is biggest gets it.  That's  how it works.. Altho it's even less fair now because from what i read here wasp gets it no matter where it is, as long as it gets on top...

What ive seen is that dictators normally take the gold box whether it is on the ground or air.

its op for catching gold boxes

[Viking4s 10,791]

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.

Did this glitch been fixed?

I doubt it. It wouldn't be high priority on devs' list.

It's op for EVERYTHING

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Actually, no. It would hurt the variety of drop zones. But here's another solution: the gold box appears in the sky and drops through the impeding props.  So in Silence, if the drop zone was in the tunnels you would first see it in the sky over the blue base, and then it would descend through the map to the tunnel.

 

The question is: Can it be done?

 

IF NOT, here's another solution: Have TWO drop-zones. One on the actual place, and one on the prop over it. That way people would know at least where to look.

 

P.S. I personally like those "insta-gold" drop zones. I love parking there and being the only one who sees it, and then I catch it before the other noobs realize what is going on. :P

we use to have gold box's pop up in all different locations way before back in 2014 .. you had to hunt for them .. not sure why this is not happening , they changed to these drop box;s from the sky its ok but it was more fun having to hunt for items .. this would also cut back on lag if you remove drop location markers and sky drops

[r_carlo1234 118]

I have an idea for Goldboxes and Supplies that are below ground:

 

Since they will not be dropped with a parachute from the sky, they should be teletransported.

 

A bright hole should start opening for the Supply to appear. And then close after the Supply appears. A bright yellowish for the Gold Box.

[GENERALSpidy 21]

Heres A Suggestion Put A Gold drop Location and maybe A Speed Boost In Iran Tunnel

 

 

 

 

Suggestion 2  To stop People Saying they Dropped Gold (Without Name) Change All Gold Dropped By players From Gold Box Will Be Dropped Soon To A Player Has dropped A gold (Instead) If They don't want their Name Displayed

To tell If someone was lying about Dropping A Gold Box. Would Make It Better :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

 

 

 

 

 

Please Like If You Agree With Suggestion 2

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

In my opinion, I do like the underground gold box because it makes gold boxes appear in a different way. How about we have a map re-designed with an added extension tunnel where there are multiple drop zones for gold boxes in that tunnel. By having a tunnel, it would grant players with 50% more luck on catching those underground gold boxes. Players like me who finds it almost impossible to catch gold boxes would benefit from extra luck on catching gold boxes in the tunnel, whilst other players on that map fight each other outside to find the dropping gold box.

Under review

Yes it can be annoying, but getting gold boxes with Mammoth and Titan can be extremely difficult......

Personally, i think titan is close to dictator in ability to catch golds... just me though
