Completed Overdrive fills when you catch goldbox

[XxPAXI2xX 169]

Title says it all, overdrive should fill to 100% when you catch gold box, of course, if overdrive is turned on in battle settings.

Goldbox isn't meant to activate drugs. These are 2 different things in the game.

[TheAncientMariner 57]

i think a similar idea already exists, so this is a duplicate

They are but look, you try to win, wanna get overdrive for team, you would go for gold. Also you would get free crystals if you manage to catch it. This could lead to new tactical feature!

@Maf! How about this ???

When you catch a Gold-box, Automatically an Overdrive will be activated on your tank and all nearby tanks that will not disturb your own Overdrive %.

For Example If you have it on 60% and you catch a Gold, an additional overdrive will be activated and you still have 60% or 65% on your clock.

Naw...I don't think so. You have a choice whether to go for the GB or not. You have a choice to drug or not. You have a choice to use OD or not. It's a freebee, sure, but one you have to earn by participating in battle. GBs are an added feature and not really part of the battle, it's more of a deterrent from the battle. So, Tanki gives you a free 1K crystals and now you want them to give you another freebee for catching it? Sounds like G-R-E-E-D to me. No, thank you, not interested. I'd rather help the team by grabbing a flag or changing a CP.

It is your choice to go for GB, as well as drugging, but using an OD is a prefered option. If you stack it, it is considered as multing. Yes it is if you didnt know. As second, GBs arent added feature, they are here for years and yes, they are part of the battle, and one of items that are making this game what it actually is - unique. It is not G-R-E-E-D as suggesting new feature that could have tactical role in normal ( non-PRO ) battles. Of course its your choice to go grab a flag or cap CPs instead of catching GB(s). Last thing is that you are lower rank, maybe ATM you cant realise the power of overdrive in battles with higher ranks, it can mean a win/lose for a team in a split of a second by your rection. Consider catching GB and immidiately using it to heal you, and your team back, cleaning whole gold area, and then capping flag / CP(s). It has great potential in it if you think about it.

I've been playing Tanki since a few months after it came out of Beta.So, no, I'm not new to the game, only this account is. I know about those GBs. I was playing long before they were introduced into the game. That was when blue boxes with 10 crystals fell like rain and the highest rank was Marshal. Regardless of when GBs were implemented, they are still an added feature and not part of the battle. How is catching a Gold Box helping your team? It doesn't. It only helps the one who catches it. The ones who are grabbing an extra flag or changing a CP is helping the team. 

 

I've been in battles with higher ranks. So, don't assume just because this account is low that I'm the ignorant one here. I know the power of a fully upgraded M3 with supplies activated. 

 

I still stand my ground. Tanki gives you a free box with 1K crystals or a player gives you a box with 1K crystals and still you want Tanki to give you another freebee by resupplying your OD without earning it just because a GB dropped. 

 

So, let's say this was implemented. After the GB dropped, everyone's OD (on both teams) has been fully recharged. Suddenly, the whole map is covered with blue domes. What has been accomplished? Players on both sides, in the middle of the map where the GB dropped, slugging it out at close proximity while Magnums on both sides with OD activated are planting bombshells in the middle of the slug fest. 

 

I have a better idea. Five seconds after the Gold Box has been caught, everybody's OD is automatically fully charged and activated. That way, no one can take advantage of someone else's OD. When it runs out, it runs out on everyone at the same time. Then you either have to use your own supplies or wait until you have earned the next one.

I don't really see the use and the motivation for it.

 

Moreover, GBs tend to be taken by the dominating team. If they then get a randomly timed (and even shared) Overdrive, then it would be worse for the balance of the teams.

There is very small chance for gold to even drop in situations when one team dominating another, as well as catching GB depends on you, not your team.

How can you keep saying they are not part of the battle when they are. They are as well the deffault setting in creating new PRO battle and a regular setting in normal ( non-PRO ) battle. What you are saying on this is absolut non-sence.

It could be helping if my idea gets implemented.

I never did, just when i see u as low rank messaging me, i thought you dont have much expirience, no offence wanted, i appologise if you understood me wrong.

Well that is odd case as i never seen before that everyone got their OD full on gold. Have you?

Then that would make absolut no sence, as catching goldbox should not award everyone with free OD, its like you suggested after Gb is catched everyone gets 1000 crystals as well. Like cmon

Okay

Maybe auto activation of OD after taking GB, would that change your guys opinions? Im out of options :unsure:

It's just not a very interesting idea. Overdrives are one thing, Gold boxes are another. I don't see why the two should be combined like this.

Please explain to me how it is part of the battle. If you or anyone else catches a Gold Box, how does it affect the outcome of the battle? Does it make your team stronger? Does it make your team weaker? Will it cause your team to win or lose? Does it affect your K/D? It's only real advantage is the player who catches the Box is 1K crystals richer. It's an option in Pro battles, because some players feel the Gold Box is an unnecessary interruption of the battle. To which, I agree. 

 

Apology accepted. Just be careful of your assumptions. Base your assumptions on facts, not other assumptions. 

 

No, I haven't. Read what I said before that quote: "So, let's say this was implemented." The statement was based on your suggestion, not on any battles now being fought on Tanki.

 

You're absolutely right. But as I read your suggestion, that is exactly what you are suggesting. After the Gold Box is caught the OD should be recharged. I was only expanding on your idea, which I give my vote as "Nay." One has nothing to do with the other. It's entirely the player's decision whether or not to try for the Gold Box. In doing so, you also accept the risks involved regardless of the strategy you use. 

 

Where in my post did I say that after the Gold Box is caught everyone should get 1000 crystals?  I have never made that suggestion, neither here nor anyplace else. 

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

In my opinion, the fact that it's pointless is just a small thing. The major issue is the practicality - Gold Boxes are not a vital gameplay element. They spice up gameplay and give matches an interesting new "objective," so to speak but catching the Gold Box is purely personal - it has no direct benefit to the team, it is just a personal achievement and to get some crystals in your pocket. In my opinion, it would defeat the purpose of CTF matches if the Gold Box became both, a personal and team bonus - it should only be one or the other.

Completed

 

Due to addition of the Nuclear supply box, which has the same function. There is no need to also link Gold boxes to gameplay mechanics.

Fake news

 

Maybe another type of tag is needed for ideas that seem less likely to be completed.

 

I was thinking that maybe there was an update that implemented this idea, but no, I entered the topic for nothing.
