Goldbox glitch I guess?

[jesstess 0]

Okay, so I was playing tanki an was in a game and saw the beatiful message: goldbox will be dropped soon. It dropped about a minute after right next to me and I went to grab it. I grabbed the goldbox, but it said that someone else did and I didn't get a single crystal!! Please fix this. Username: jesstess

 

Thanks!!

Maybe the other guy wrapped to you so you both had chance to get it... maybe he had luck or he used taller Hull than yours.

There are several possibilities as to why you didn't get the gold box:

You were lagging when the gold was dropping. Did you happen to notice what your ping was at that time?

There were some players in the battle that you could not see (which is a problem that occurs sometimes when not everything in the battle loads properly for you).

The other player was just as close as you, but was using a higher tank (for example Dictator) or had a faster ping.

 

If it was neither of these 3 and it happens more often, it could be useful to record the event.
