What Do You Think of the Reduced Gold Time?

[Magenta 5,165]

I think they just wanted to counter the "SD to reset cooldowns" strategy.

[MJROCKS05 428]

Why isn't this mentioned this in the patch notes or updates list? Was this even mentioned in an official announcement because I believe tanki devs didn't inform any of the players about this via mass communication and implemented it already? Pls show me the link and correct me if I am wrong

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Weaker or non-drugging players will be finally able to catch the gold without Dictator. Good job.

Depends of the map... http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=204702&p=6453628

Its  is too much time all I need is one second

It's your second account not main.

When you play a new game little do you know about the gameplay n make genuine mistakes while buying.

I did that too from my main and bought all M0 n Mu'ed them 5/10 rather than saving. So I think u shud not compare me with ur alt.

 

But yea, even I bought firefly kit today, in my alt, n still have more than enough to mu it halfway, all from war containers.

Yes, I spend more wisely on my 2nd account due to hind-sight.

 

However...

 

When wolverine was 3rd Lt. I don't think mission chains had been added - so that's a large source of extra income for "newbies" compared to what I started with.  Plus the containers are making even more of a difference.

 

Neither of my accounts has relied on Gold for any kind of income.

It wasn't mentioned in the patch notes because it's not an update, you could see it as an experiment.

Of course its an experiment.

Hope TO does not do that in April fools.

I've played pro battles today, where 5 gold dropped. I couldn't catch any one due to faster drop rate, but on the other hand those golds got the other team distracted and that's where I helped cap the winning flag, twice. A friend capped two (different battles) Had the drop rate stayed normal , the other team would've held the flag and possibly taken the gold as well, so I'm satisfied with the new update/experiment. No player needs gold to build a strong account.

[u812ic 1,629]

I don't usually get the Gold Box anyway. So, I'll just look around my immediate vicinity. If I don't see the drop zone, I'll fire at the pile for some kills, grab a flag or change a CP. 

[lukey0 27,543]

Perhaps gold drop zones should be located in central open spaces with equal distance from both base sides. Otherwise I think we'll have the occasional super boring battle with everyone sitting in the base to wait for either the enemy or the gold box itself.

If this *gulps* had to be implanted, this would make much more sense. I've never liked Gold drop zones being in teams bases anyway. 

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

I like it. It means players aren't sitting around waiting for a gold as long.

[Bydo 20,133]

not a fan of it seeing , if your on the other side of the map and gold drops on the  far  side you don't stand a chance of  getting it.

 

see in the past this was how golds dropped.. but we did not have drop zones like it is now. the only advantages we did have was the time it dropped .. which that it did go back to this set up then your looking around not knowing where it will drop. but you still stood a higher chance of getting one.. not like it is now . to me its like tanki is cutting back on giving things to players . its bad enough were now getting black box's / containers  which some of us will be only getting crystals or drugs from them and nothing special . see when you have most of the paints , besides the shop or new ones . it limits what your going to receive from them . this also includes garage mission containers .

[u812ic 1,629]

 

 

Perhaps gold drop zones should be located in central open spaces with equal distance from both base sides. 

It should be in a neutral zone, even if it's system activated or player activated. But then Tanki would have to clarify the base boundaries. Dose it just include the respawn points and ends at the furthest respawn or does it go a little beyond that. On some maps, if it wasn't for the respawn points, the boundaries aren't very well defined. But then there's the small maps, like Ping-Pong. Where is the neutral zone there? On Island, I think the only neutral zone is right in the center of the map between the buildings where the RK drops. 

 

What I like about having the Gold Box drop in a neutral zone is that it would cut down on players dropping down from a ledges, etc. onto the pile. Players would actually have to fight harder for it. 

 

EDIT: Sorry if this is a little off topic.

I personally think this is a bad idea. More people would mult and wait for golds, because if they get the siren, it makes it impossible for them to take the gold. With one minute, players could play efficiently without worrying about gold time and supply cooldowns. With 15 seconds, people woukd mult since they would be worried.

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

People already mult for 30 seconds when the siren sounds. I'd rather have people mult for 15 seconds rather than 30.

[gokuMI6 1,290]

I will like it as 20 seconds since in big maps finding the drop zone is a game of luck

 

 

Oh wait capturing a GB is also a game of luck

 

 

[wolverine848 13,097]

Don't like it.  Gives me less time to cap a flag while 10+ tanks fight over 1 box.

That is true and that is why they have done it

Source?

 

I think they did it so it takes up less time in the match, and to make it more difficult for multers just sitting around waiting for gold.

It will be more luck - especially on the larger maps.

[RevengeAttacker 217]

Lol, I got 2 golds today
Both in brest cp, because I was drugging like hell because of the x2 fund
One was lying around for people to take, I took a speed boost and made it faster than my wasp on the left who didnt have a speed boost.
Another i battled with a firebird titan, I used a repair and got the gold right before I died. Quarter of a second would have not let me take the gold.

 

I use viking which is really hard for golds, now its easier

[sezze100 416]

I love it , even if i didnt catch any box yet ... i got a lot more chance of catching 1 now then i did in the old system . I had to be extremely lucky in the past ( i did catch 133 according to profile , most are friendly boxes ) so now is a lot better ,

If it means the targets cluster together faster, I'm all open. My shells won't lose their potency anyhow.

I meant that is also one of the reason 

As you said main reason is the Gold Mults of course 

but there are people who tooke advantage of 30 second drop

In CP those seconds are very valuable 

If you have Polygon and lost due to Gold you will know the pain of it

[tousif_the_master 2,240]

I personally don't like it. 

I can feel it, your pain  :ph34r:  :(  :ph34r: .
