D4T's & B872's Opinions: The Gold Box Supply

[Darren4Turbo 4,913]

On 29^th July 2016, the Gold Box supply was added to the game. This new supply is available for purchase in the new shop for players ranked Warrant Officer 1 and higher, and can also be acquired by completing special daily missions. Once you have a Gold Box supply in your garage, you’ll be able to drop it using the ‘6’ key.

 

 

This update had both negative and positive aspects. We’ll discuss each of them from our own point of view.

 

 

Positive:

1. Giving a gift to a friend.

2. Making STG events far quicker instead of waiting for a random gold box to be dropped.

Negative:

1. Players that are joining battles and are not playing in order for the gold to be dropped by a player instead of helping their team (sabotage+multness).

2. Trolls saying “gold will be dropped” and taking credit for dropped golds.

 

Is it profitable?

 

No. The best way to get crystals is to buy crystals, not gold boxes. Anyway, even if you want to buy crystals for someone else, you can just have them press “Buy Crystals” with your preferred method, and give you the link that they get when they press it. So yeah, no SMS death.

 

However, this supply is very useful in the form of daily missions, you can get it there AND use it to complete Gold missions!

+1 to developers for adding it to daily missions. Since premium account is also in daily mission, you still can get everything without paying real money.

 

Not everyone is that rich :ph34r: 

 

Interview by @BLASTER872 with some players regarding this update:

I'd like to interview you on the gold box supply.

So starting off: What's your opinion of it?

 

Mafioso: I like it. Probably not the most important update, but definitely a highly requested one. A lot of players benefited from this and I'm sure developers had a nice surprise looking at their profits on the day of the update.

 

Do you think there are any possible improvements to the system? If so, what would benefit the already awesome "Gold Box Supply"?

 

We had a few suggestions in the I&S section already. My favourite one is being able to choose exactly where the gold box will drop. This could be done by simply dropping the gold in the location nearest to the player who triggered it, or maybe even implementing a complex system where the player sees a map with all potential drop locations shown and chooses one. Of course developers could go a lot further and add customization. Options such as different delay, drop speed, drop height, but that's unnecessary and I would much rather they worked on more important updates.

 

Wow, that seems rather creative. I understand developers have other priorities. Closing off, do you think that players benefited overall? I mean, there are lots more trolls now and yes, admins can drop golds now, says a troll who is replying to someone who says, "admin can’t drop gold" but now STGs are easier. Do you think this update is beneficial? Worth the time to create?

 

STGs are definitely easier and a lot more entertaining now, since players can easily drop multiple golds. Not to mention the hilarious drugging mayhem caused by golds in Parkour battles. Besides, the new supply has more uses (as developers mentioned in the V-log) such as: creating a diversion mid-game, gift for a friend, gold box parkour montage or photo sessions. Players definitely benefited.

Some say that the disadvantage is that Gold boxes lost their value and buyers have an advantage, but I strongly disagree with that. Golds were always fun to catch regardless of how many there were and buyers don't get any advantage from the Golds since it doesn't directly give them power in battles. If your team gets distracted by golds when a buyer drops 10 of them in a battle and uses the distraction to easily steal your flags, then it's your team's fault, not the Gold boxes' :)

What is your opinion on gold box supplies? Should they be changed in any way?

 

Well, this update equals more gold, doesn’t it? And who doesn’t want more gold? Of course Tanki’s making tons of money off of it: I checked a guy's profile, he already used 300, which means he spent $300 already. I like it, it’s pretty cool. I do think they should make the mission more common to get. But other than that, yea, it’s great!

 

In your opinion, was it worth the time to implement? I mean, yeah, gold drops (which you have 3,000 of in that screenshot that is definitely photoshop) are awesome. STG quicker, and gold dropping is fun anyway. However, when a troll tells everyone they're dropping gold in a battle or forces someone to mult, it does go a bit too far.

 

I was thinking to mention that in the answer before since it is part of my opinion on the update, but I just knew you’d ask it later, so I waited xD Anyways, yes, it is a problem, with all the fake gold rains. I think Tanki should consider that actual “trolling” and it should be a violations of the rules, thus by doing so you’re risking getting a ban. However this couldn’t work to well because if someone posts a battle and says gold rain, no mod is actually gonna check if it’s legit or not…

 

Anyway, closing off, how do you intend to make use of this update? GOLD RAIN or snatch golds from people? STG? Or just giving golds to your friends?

 

Well, I don’t think I’ll be buying any golds, so it’ll mainly be me attempting and failing to snatch golds in gold rains. Although, if I ever somehow get a bunch of these golds, I definitely will do a gold rain for a bunch of friends.

[sre123 595]

Good one! :D 

[ToHoYoNTaDa 1,147]

Good

[Ninja 10,468]

I would like the option to choose where the gold lands, would make STG possible in unusual maps.

 

Not that I drop golds. :ph34r:
