Update 18-May-2010 - Antique Key and Antique Chest

[berserker]

New Antique Chests added. In order to open such chest your unit must have special Antique Key in it's invenory. Key will be removed from inventory after opening the chest. Keys can be found in regular boxes or Cash Shop. Ancient Chests have better stuff in it and more chances to spawn art.

Other changes:
+ World map tweaks (cursor bugs, blurring fixed, jams on high resolutions)
+ Tournament and location screens optimized - should work faster.

I play different matches and dont found such a box. So the answer is: blue boxes are not in every match.

Hmm does it mean there are no arts at normal boxes or is this a special bonus for all the faking box-hunter?

[MagnavoX]

Nice att , i found low arts but is good :b ( i want play on ice (y) )

[MRS-Puffy]

it would be nice if you do on this box random item lvl

[berserker]

This box do not influence regular boxes so arts can be found in regular box as well.

[BEErOcK]

I like this art's antyque keys lol

[waelmessi]

if Some one have key in his eventory and his unit die he get back the key after he finish The game or he lose the key?

[chupacabras]

you loose it as a normal item in inventory....

[SMELLICT]

I liked the idea of this chest.

I think that making higher lvl arts or higher % to get arts will make this chest be

opened mostly by fakers.. in megas i never open any chest... never , there is

no good reason to open a chest besides a small chance to get some meds.

I have an idea that will make this chest valuable for REAL players and not for

FAKERS .. so please hear me out.

make this chest always hold many medkits... and some % to get the medkit

arts such

as Emergency Case or the Field Medic. this will really effect the game since

if this chest appears in megas (or even 1x1) it will give a good adventage to

the team that can reach it and will actually effect the game in most cases.

very important ... if you get the medkits art from this chests they will be only valid for

the current match .. this way fakers cant farm it.

[berserker]

Not all games can have the chest and even if the game have the chest you cant figure it out until you find it, so farming chests on purpose is very hard, thus I dont think fakers will be able to farm it much thus it is good as it is.

[VanHellsing]

this new update seens great, but i didnt agree with this "key" thing.
It's good that you can find high quality itens or even arts by purchasing the key and finding the boxes on matchs, but i think it should be best to let it avaliable to all units, not just putting it on a single unit and hope for this one to find a box, this way is more convenient to player who seek for this boxes, so it ll not take place on inventory.

Hmm i noticed yesterday at evening many players playing at ice valley. Around 10-15 matches all 1vs1. I never see such a high number of farmmatches before.

[berserker]

The fact that they are trying to farm doesnt mean they succeeded at it.

95E for one key without chance to really find a box in game is too EXPENSIVE

Agreed, there are so many variables that need to come together.

1) bring the key to the game
2) there actually being a chest on the map
3) discovering that chest with the unit that has the key
4) actually being able to win the match after moving all around to find this chest with the key guy

Pretty unlikely all in all. Only way it is worthwhile is if the added-medikit idea is implemented (or if the arts are really good), then the chest becomes an interesting strategic point to attack/defend as well, good for the game.

Berserker i dont know what is happening but the server went out for the second time this day, with it i lose al my exp my very good gambled art. its not fair man. you should really do something to make this up. I gamble got a very good art for not much gambling and now i have to start over, thank you for youre understanding great Alfa

[McGibblets]

i noticed the server go down as well. i was in the middle of a battle but thankfully it reset me to how i was before the battle. also, has anyone found a key in the normal boxes yet?

[puttatos]

I like chest idea, but clan-chest would be more usefull

Very cleaver design - to farm chest u need take key, so one unit start w/out guns, not all maps have it and % of getting crap is very high , but if u see it u want to open anyway I like to see mega with chest in center

IMVHO farming them is really useless. Finding 8 packs of AKSU ammo and crappy art is a waste of time.
