… I want to play a game!
Whilst I'm not a mugger myself, I'd like to run an experiment to see if the 15sec immunity on landing is a fair solution or if its a carebear fix that makes flying way too safe.
TLDR: from now until Wednesday, 28th April I will be doing plushie runs and carrying 500m on hand whilst flying. Mug me. In torn or abroad. Don't worry, I won't cry in your DM to get a refund. I won't bounty, I won't retal in any way. However, I will post the logs here - if your stealth fails and you don't want your name shown please mail me and I'll edit the logs. I have shit Internet as well so please mail as chats are weird on mobile when my data coverage is low. Finders keepers rule applies ofc. And no, I won't have 500m on hand whilst I'm in torn. Only when I fly.
1 week or 1st successful mug. Whichever comes first.
Long version: most of my active income comes from flying. Lately I've been lazy and only done plushies, but I have done a fair bit of xannie runs and the occasional armour run to SA. Personally I enjoy the planning ahead and staying on top of shit. I enjoy doing a super quick clicky clicky (or tappy tappy on mobile) to stash money. I love seeing a log of "someone mugged you for $0"
But sometimes shit happens. And sometimes things don't go as planned. I was mugged as a nublet and it hurt like hell at the time. But I learned from it and I improved my gameplay. I stopped trying to sell or move my money when I knew I had shit Internet or wouldn't be able to get online when landing. I learned what bazaar value keeps me somewhat safe and "not worth the E"
I mostly disagree with the latest big updates, but I do agree with Cheds post about wanting to focus on risk, anger, revenge, and whatnot. TORN is a crime game. It's not supposed to be safe and easy.
If there is a successful mug on my 500m, that shows mugging is still very much doable and muggers need to improve their gameplay.
If I manage to keep my money for a full week, that shows flying is too safe.
Which ever comes first ends the experiment and hopefully this gets a point across, and shows that 15sec is fair. Or it isn't and maybe a better solution can be considered.
For records purposes, at the time I posted this my times travelled is at 1823. I'll aim for as many flights as possible, irl permitting.
Good luck and may the best mugger / plushie runner win.
Cheers,
Row o/
