Why make RW so boring…..

For every 5 minutes a whole team is in the hospital (from nonwar targets or self hosp) they should lose 1R = 1 point. You just allow a team to not play all day long and sit in the hospital.

It’s pretty much bull crap that the Mercs services are bots, automatically attacking and hospitalizing. There should be a punishment for hiding all day.


I know, this toxic community doesn’t care. We just won’t participate anymore. Just what this community wants.


All I’ll hear is …..it’s a skill issue…..can I have your stuff…

Ched actually wanted RW to be good. So I propose that points decay every 5 minutes that the whole team is hospitalized from non war target or bloodbag. Give people a sense of urgency.

Also Immune to bloodbag should be removed. It’s an unfair advantage for the person who can self hosp. If it’s even 1v1, the person who can bloodbag to self hosp wins. When you take a bad blood it should be 2 hour cooldown. There should be consequences.




Make Rank War Great Again!! Trump 2024

Im not gonna read the comments. Imma just disappear like this community wants. This game is pay to win. Not Skill Based.

When RW first came out wars used to end so fast, it all felt too rushed, some people complained, now that new strategies have been introduced, (self hosp being the most used strategy) some are also complaining. There is nothing that can ever be done to satisfy everyone. And now it's mostly negotiation. Just like the comment above stated "It's a skill issue". The flow of RW will keep changing and if you're not willing to change with it you will hate it.

If a merc service is being used that suggests that the participants are actually fighting, which is actually a good thing.

Sounds counter-intuitive but it's true.

I mean the people immune to blood bags can always just use ipecac

Point decay has been suggested since the start, it's not gonna happen. I know self hosp is annoying but what do we do about people from different time zones? Are you suggesting one timezone be the meta and everyone else who lives in a place where rank war starts at 3:30am gets dicked over?

Beep boop beep!

I guess that's a compliment if you think we're bots xD

Hire PT Mercs this week and every week from now on for bot-like efficiency! Highly rated by this guy and many others xD

I don't really even disagree with your suggestion (though I haven't really thought it through), but I do think you're looking at the situation wrong. Torn has been around a long time, so you can't really take a single snapshot of a game mechanic and discuss it in isolation. It's an evolving mess of mechanics, each introduced to fix the last; much like the real world

Wars used to be won by whoever had the fattest wallet. There was no cooldown on revives, so (massive oversimplification) if you could outspend your opponent, you won. The only thing that has changed is 'who gets the merc money?'.

It used to be reserved to revivers (which is time-gated). Now it's anyone with a DBK and some xanax.
