Completed Disable gold boxes in last 30 seconds of a battle

[jdc20181 213]

Many players are quite annoyed with people spamming in chats about gold boxes, begging for people to drop them etc. 

 

Yes they are great for the economy of tanki, but not the integrity - for more than one reason:

 

 

 

Being not able to chat because some infamous player drops 1 gold box with 1k crystals is annoying. In fact I don't like this new supply at all. 

 

It of course is a "Premium" item and isn't available widely for missions or other ways say I buy the 20$ package of crystals they outta put a couple in with it like they do with supplies.

 

I understand they don't want to flood them into the game, but really they could be if some wise guy drops a bunch-

 

GB was and is a luxary item that is generated by the game not a player or any other person strictly by the code that runs tanki. 

 

I don't think they should be remvoed, but limited- somehow to brng more integrity to the game and the luxary of the GB.

 

 One issue I was thinking was with the time situation, say we have 30 seconds or less I think a no GB policy should be set so its disabled in the final seconds of a battle. - this will prevent any issues with getting the gold box, before the game ends.

Gold boxes getting lost if they drop too late is a known issue that existed long before the gold box supply was added. In fact, it existed as soon as golds were introduced back in 2010. A fix might be added eventually, but there is no point suggesting it now.

 

Also, I'm not sure why you wrote this whole paragraph when the idea could be summarised in one sentence. Are you suggesting something else that I missed?

I have a feeling its going to be a while before it's implemented, but not so long before it's forgotten.

Sudden Death Gold Box

 

If a Gold Box is dropping during the last moments of CP, CTF, DM, or TDM the game ends immediately after the GB is caught and not before the GoldBox is caught, due to time expiring or CP score being reached or the Final Flag being capped.

I'd like you to make it so that there are no gold boxes within 28 seconds of the server reset (or the end of the game). I understand that this is a rare occurrence but it does happen.

Half was the suggest the other half was my rant of the day lol

 

Overall, I think at least the gold box supply should be disabled in the last min. of the game to prevent any issues -

Cmon, gold box is just a little addon, It shouldnt change gameplay so much, that map needs to be live, till a little box has been taken

I'd rather not have it implemented, as it ruins gameplay as it's a distraction especially in team battles, plus it's funny the battle ends just before someone gets it :D

How does turning gold boxes OFF cause any distraction?  :blink:

How many golds u got all this while in ur tanki life?

So wait, we can actually turn off gold boxes in battle?

I'm sure I caught a few in my life time, I hardly go for it anymore because 1000 crystals hardly seems worth it anymore at my rank.

Why wouldn't you want it disabled? I don't think its funny if someone pays money and "Accidently" hits it when there is 10 seconds left. its not a distraction to NOT enable to drop something reread my OP!

The drop is disabled when the clock reaches 60 seconds and below.

[jazz20 1,181]

Personally, I don't like the idea of players dropping gold boxes.....Period. I would change my mind slightly if there were some restrictions. Too often they are used as a distraction to grab flags and CP's. 

 

About 2 weeks ago, our team was down by 2 flags and 3 minutes left in battle. In team chat, the plan was set that 1 of our players would drop 2 gold boxes fairly close together while the rest of us (or at least some of us) would grab the 2 flags (3 if possible) for the win. The plan worked. Yes, we won the battle, but I don't think it was a fair win. Without the distractions, we would have lost, I'm sure.

 

The OP was suggesting gold box drops be disable during the last 30 seconds of battle. I've seen the above strategy work in the last 30 seconds of battle, too. We lost by one flag because of it.

If this is the idea, then it is has been done. The gold box supply cannot be used in the last minute, although normal server-generated gold boxes can still drop.

Well, I still sometimes see golds dropping in last 30 secs :D

 

=> Work on it :P

Apparently OP was talking only about the gold box supply, which indeed doesn't work in the last minute of battle. Random golds can still drop.
