It is better than normal rate which is like 1 gold per 3 battles. Roughly it is 4-5 time more than usual.

I should go to the battles he is in and I will increase the drop rate.

Welcome to the fair and balanced world of TO. 40 RK is a lot it's why i will never use it.

The lag is so bad it is not worth the bother to play.  There is no way to participate in the gold drops since everything freezes up for a 1 or 2 seconds every 15 or 20 seconds.  When it's not frozen, tanks move around like cockroaches, here one second and somewhere else the next.  Everything is taking an eternity to load...battles, mission info, garage...just terrible.

The XP is bad enough, but the lag is a complete buzz kill.

Thanks for making some special missions that don't require you to play 24/7 lol

How comes people sit on the drop zone without getting killed when the meteorite crashes? They aren't in a titan forcefield. I don't understand... Do these meteorites not destroy your tank?

Lifeguard drone.

yes, the meteorite does destroy your tank.

I use Repair Kits very sparingly (habit from days gone by).  I never use the drone so I don't really know how effective it is, but it seems to me that if you spammed Repair Kits with absolute abandon..like any possible time you might need one, I think you might use less than 40 in three matches and do even better, or at least the same as using the drone.

Gotta admit i never have lag issues but i am now, just another day in TO. Got kicked from 3 battles in a row so just gave up, not worth the hassle.

And... 8 vs 8 winning CTF battle 2-1.  TWO of our players leave while we have the lead and finish 6 vs 8 and lose 4-2.

The dumba$$ Challenges are why players leave a winning team - if they are not guaranteed 2+ stars they just leave and MM does not even fill their slots.

Why are people whining so much about gold drop rate? Be happy you got anything at all.

I'm pretty sure it was similar 2 years ago. You would expect 0-3 golds every battle, almost never more.

I don't know about 1 year ago though. They might have raised it then. 

 

Honestly, I'd rather have it -50% gold box drop rate. But to be fair, my main account isn't gonna be playing in MM for 3 months anyway because of the summer event, so it really doesn't matter.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

3000 XP in just four battles today, doing the last two missions (of ten) on one of my accounts

Tempted to take a week off

And what feedback would that be. HORNET is still OP and it will stay that way until it's in their interests to do otherwise. Have fun catching your gold boxes now and watch out for those little green men from planet zonk. 

We know hornet is OP, you don't need to bring it up every single time you write something.

They need a new system for earning stars. Maybe instead of the top 2 players on the winning team/the top player on the losing team getting 3 / 6 stars, make it so that the players which get above 300 EXP earn 3 stars (or 6 if you have premium) at the end of a battle. If you get under 100 EXP, you earn 1 star (2 if you have premium). This way, people wouldn't just leave the battle. Plus, F2P players will have a better chance at completing the challenge. This system would work A LOT better.

Then disable/turn off Lifeguard. No drone = no waste of supplies and batteries.

well then everyone else uses. No lifeguard also means no golds for me.

40 was just a mild estimate, i might have used more. The gold drop rate is so low, it just isn't worth it, I'm not playing unless they increase the gold drop rate frequency by about 20 times. To me this seems like only 3-5 times more golds than normal, whereas in other holiday maps/modes there is literal rains of golds dropping. Those are the most fun to participate in. This is just a big no-no.

They aren't said which x gold boxes will be.

You can just tell its far less than usual. In other holiday maps/modes, there are literal rains of golds dropping. For this, there is barely 1 or 2 per match.

Well then a lot of time ALL players on losing team will exit as there's many occasions where the top player on losing team won't be close to 300 battle points.  I've seen times where ALL players on losing team were under 100 when the battle ends in 4 minutes.

This special mission was easy and are very often containers in battles.

 

Really? I must be playing a whole different game then because i can barely see 1 or 2 golds dropping per match in any rank, any mode.

That happens when tanki's mm system fails and decides to put a team of buyers vs a bunch of f2p people. 9k gs vs at the most 5k gs? No contest. I also hate when i see players who are Brigadier rank can't even turn their turret at all have 9500 gs. I saw a player in warrant officer 3 or 5 (i can't remember but it was a warrant officer definitely) at the time have 9999gs. Im not even kidding, I'm pretty sure I have a screenshot on my main pc which i can show if you want.

Is there a lot of people using the lifeguard drone? I goldhunt on a smaller account, so there isn't many, and i don't need to use it. Catch around 60% of the golds dropped so the low frequency isn't a problem.

[ALEX22THEBEST 789]

Thanks for 5 days of premium and please in future add more often days of premium or tankoins in special mission.
