Declined Ideas for Gold Box Drop Zones

[WoundedWarrior 302]

This has been created a bigger issue with the new map update (not that the update is bad, however, I actually like some of the new maps better this way). There are many more goldbox drop zones that are on the outsides of the map. I really saw it yesterday with the x3 golds where a gold would drop and just one person would find the drop zone because it is too close to the wall or something. Additionally, drop zones in the opposite team's flag area are nearly impossible to get to for that team. Because everybody on the opposing team is already there, it is like 4v1 and the 1 obviously dies, taking out max 2 of the others. They have no chance at getting the golds.

 

My proposition is that make the probability of the gold dropping on the outsides of the map less than the probability of it dropping in the center. This will make for a more fair goldbox gameplay.

 

I think that the devs originally saw this and that is why there are many more drop zones in the middle of the map, but this issue still exists based on the number of players at each drop zone.

This has been done on purpose, to give less experienced players a better chance of getting a gold. The gold box is a random bonus that everyone should have an equal chance of getting. I explained this in more detail in this post.
