Should tanki add back crystal boxes in battles?

[Maf 32,300]

Hopefully players will focus on battling now, right? 

What makes you think that?

[lukey0 27,543]

If crystal boxes are already a distraction goldboxes really should be removed.

There is always someone who brings it up.  <_<

 

It's only a distraction for 40 seconds, thats less than 1/20 of the game time. Unlike crystal boxes which are a distraction for the whole duration of a battle. 

 

There's also a lot of people now who just continue to play the battle normally anyway. 

[Fresh 2,390]

Gold boxes are extremely rare and don't really serve as enough of a distraction to warrant being removed since many players enjoy them so much.

They are not rare anymore like they used to be back in the days of 2011 and onwards to around 2013. The gold boxes drop a lot nowadays due to the crystal boxes being added to the game and the feature of being able to drop a gold box.

Rare? It seems like every weekend they get dropped more often

They are the biggest distraction in the game.. 

At events where it is ''goldbox drops x more often'' gameplay really gets ruined. Or just any battle where a goldbox drops.

That's because goldboxes are the biggest distraction and it can and often will change the game. Imagine winning a huge ctf battle with 3-2 but then a gold drops and the enemy caps a few flags because your whole team is going for the gold.

 

Most of the players just go for gold though. You can't deny that gold does not ruin battles.

Now for the record: I'm not against the goldbox, just against the argument that crystal boxes cause a distraction and sabotage.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

No. Tanki should add features that encourAge vehicle combat skills. Not catch the golden ring Mario Brothers skills.

How many games do you play where 2, 3, 4, of your team mates go all game without using their overdrives?  You will see three team mates around the star tank closing in n the enemy flag yet star tank will not use the OD. It happens almost every game.

 

Why do these noobs not use OD when it might even determine win or loss in the battle?  Even if using it might mean they do noget blown up but cap a flag themselves?

 

It is because they are "saving it" for when a GB might drop.  They are willing to lose the game for a 5% chance to catch a GB.  IF it drops. Talk about noob thinking. Oy vey.

 

No, GB are a distraction all game long if they drop or if they do not drop.  Players don't learn how to play vehicle combat., The just want the pretty gold box. It is a major contributor as to why so many Tanki players do not seem to be very good at the game. IMO.

 

I would dance a jig if TO eliminated the things.

Highly unlikely, the amount they would make from buying Gold Boxes would be pretty huge.

If crystal boxes are added back, they will be taken from the battle fund. In other words, you'll be getting a smaller amount of crystals at the end of a battle. Back when crystal boxes were removed, they got added to the battle fund instead.

Crystal boxes are a good way for players to earn some crystals when they can't finish the battle (for which ever reason), or when the enemy team is far stronger than them. However, crystal boxes are also a huge distraction and encourage many players to sabotage the battle a little or a lot by chasing crystals instead of opponents. Because of that, I personally don't think they should be added back.

Thats true, and if they add crystals boxes then they will remove crystals from battle found.

They do not have to use overdrive. Personally I play for myself in battles regardless of the outcome. The only time I play together is when my friends are with me in battle. Just remember that overdrive is optional and is not compulsory to be used within battles.

[KILL_BILL_CHAUHAN 2,505]

I don't want crystal box to be back. Player will run around like head less chicken and don't give attention to the game so NO

Neither is shooting at enemy tanks, Or moving from the spot you  spawn at.

 

Do your team mates a favo and stick to DM/ 99% of the time, You are hurting your team. Team play is aboout the team not all about you.

Shooting at enemy tanks is compulsory otherwise it is a sabotaging which results in a ban. Not using overdrive does not lead to a ban so your statement is invalid. Secondly, I am not hurting anyone as I am not sabotaging the battle. I am only focusing on play by myself without teaming up with my team mates. Basically, I play like Rambo.

My point in invalid only to someone determined to ignore it.

 

The point is this: No one can force a player to try yo play well.  Make no mistake. That is what refusing to use an OD Is: Playing very very poorly. Players who do that hurt their teams. Just like players who refuse to drug in drug battle hurt their teams. They should stick to DM where they hurt only themselves. You hurt your teammates. Rambo is a bad player to have on your team.

 

Good players learn to play according to the actual rules of the game not their own private rules. That is actually what gaming is all about. Figuring out how to play as well as possible per the rules of each individual game.

 

When I see stars floating over tanks all battle I see a losing team. I see it every single day. Meanwhile the good players on the other team use their ODs, score, and earn more ODs. They win; the losers lose.

Yeah sure it doesn't. I'm sure you have seen at least 1 dictator guy just driving around the map and waiting for goldbox with ready overdrive? Typing in the chat instead of playing. These things are common nowdays in tanki, now you're trying to tell me it doesn't affect the game that much?

It is impossible to get all player playing to win the game until unless you are playing with your clan. My point is gold box rate is much less the crystal box so the distraction of gold box is much less.

 

Also you can always find player doing there box collection mission in battle, so you can expect 1-3 player are just playing for there mission and don't care about the outcome of battle 

[Denied 55]

Well, I'm 100% sure they will never bring them back. But I have an idea to make few tweaks to make crystal boxes less distracting. Here it is: 

How about adding crystals boxes to DM only? You know what that would mean? Buyer would focus on killing and not on collecting crystals, while non-buyers that have weak combo could go for crystals and everyone would be happy. Buyers would get kills to rank faster and non-buyer would earn crystals by collecting the crystal boxes. Am I right? I've posted 2 years ago and they deleted it. Hope this new CM will take a look at it. Like if you agree.

I am not ignoring it and it is optional to use drugs in battle, therefore this point is invalid. Second, playing Rambo mode doesn't hurt the team as there are other team mates who can team up with each other so that is another point that is invalid. It is optional to use overdrive and it doesn't mean if you do not use it then your team will lose so that is another invalid point. I am not ignoring you but your just arrogant to the fact that it is compulsory to use overdrives and drugs in battles even though it is optional. I rest my case. K.B.7

That's total . There is a huge difference between the two: while gold is worth 1000 crys, a crystalbox is only 10. Therefore most people don't give a  about crystalboxes, but whenever gold drops everyone goes crazy and battles are ruined.

Getting rid of  crystal drops was one of the best things tanki did, it meant players had to battle for rewards not just laze about and catch boxes like noobs. I remember all the kids crying so hard when they did it, each and  every one you knew who went to high ranked battles only to troll for crystals. I dont even want it as an option in pro battles thanks if I battle I want my share of the fund not some kid stealling not fighting and ruining the battles.

I think you guys don't know but the amount of crystal box used to drop in the battle are now added in the battle fund so no need to add them back.

I agree that no one is required to learn how to play well. You for instance are determined to not play well. That is allowed. I agree that it is allowed. It is allowed that you choose to play poorly but in doing so you hurt all the other players on your CTF, TDM, CP, or AS teams. They have to carry the load you refuse to help lift.

 

The fact that playing poorly is allowed does not mean you do not play poorly. You do. But you are under no obligation to learn how to play better. You are entirely free to live in your world of denial. But you fool only yourself.
